694 Alliance Chaos

After playing against the Wizards, the Warriors defeated several powerful teams in the Heat, Mavericks, and Nuggets. As for the 76ers, Pistons, and Raptors, they were even more ruthless.

In January, the Warriors achieved a record of 13 wins and l losses in 14 games, making them the best in the league. The only opponent they lost was the Thunder team led by Durant.

The young new army is indeed extremely brave, and a bunch of shooters on their team will be unreasonable once they go crazy.

In this game, Durant broke through and dunked and chopped off a terrifying 6 points, while Westbrook, the rookie scored 2 points, 15 assists, and a triple-double with 2 rebounds. Jordan Jr. also suddenly made a big splash in that game, and got 2l rebounds. Facing these three, the Warriors lost without any worries.

However, this loss did not conceal the merits. Chamberlain averaged 3.2 points, 18 rebounds, 66 blocks, and was elected as the Western Conference Player of the Month.

In line with him, LeBron James is the king of the world in the East. He led the team to 15 games in 1 month, with 2 wins and losses, averaging 34.B points, 6 rebounds, and 2 assists. He was so versatile.

Chamberlain and James were naturally named the most proud player in the league, and in contrast, General Arenas is the most frustrated player.

Indeed, there is nothing more miserable than Arenas this year.

Although the "gun door" is not the kind of vicious incident that is exaggerated in the report, it must be admitted that the impact he has on the alliance is very bad.

Many retired NHAI stars have also come out to show their presence by using this incident. Carl Malone, who was known for his taciturnism, is now quite versatile. He participated in a Jazz game and deliberately stayed on the scene after the game and accepted an interview with reporters.

Malone said that this would be a huge criticism of the league's image. Fans suddenly knew that the players playing in the stadium carried guns with them, which would also have a huge impact on their own safety.

Indeed, Malone is not a mistake. He pointed out a fact that the Wizards have been avoiding that Arenas's guns on the spot are likely to endanger the interests of fans, that is, the ultimate interests of NHAR spoons.

In addition, in the future, teammates who are in the locker room or playing on the same stadium, will their opponents think of such a thing? After all, Arenas is a person with a gun with him, so everyone begins to worry about their own safety.

Many retired stars responded to Malone's views, and even among the active players, many people have a negative attitude towards this matter.

Antoine Jamison, who has always been as close as brothers to Arenas, did not choose to support the general for the first time. Even Ron He Tester, who often stands opposite the league, supported Stern to punish Arenas this time. He used a joke to question whether this Wizards leader player had graduated from college. How could such a ridiculous thing be done?

The Players' Union, who has always been arguing for players, has remained silent about the Arenas incident. Kenyon Dulin, a Nets player who also serves as vice chairman of the Players' Union, said that he understands the reporter's dissatisfaction with the Arenas incident, but we are not all people who are at large salaries. The subtext of this statement is obviously to draw a line with Arenas.

Players' Union leader Billy Hunter only said that he would appeal only if the league's penalties regulations were too heavy, and he also admitted that Arenas's actions this time were completely absurd.

A few days after the gun door broke out, on 1st 9, Arenas caused trouble again.

Before the game against the 76ers, Fery, McGee, Bletcher and other four people formed a circle, and the "General" was in the middle, and then used his fingers to draw a gun to point at his teammates one by one to fire. In addition, most of the Wizards players were laughing happily at that time.

Now, NH was irritated.

In fact, this move is nothing. Every team will make a celebration gesture before the game starts, but Arenas's ability to draw a gun and shoot a man is too much. At this critical moment, his brainless behavior can easily make people think that he is saring the court's punishment on him.

After the game that day, the NHA President's Office drafted a statement overnight, saying in Stern: "A NHAI player has caused us to the greatest extent of concern. I initially thought that we need to be cautious in handling this matter. Before the police investigation was officially over, the league will not take any penalty decisions. For the same consideration, I also instructed the Wizards to control and not take any action first. The Wizards' relevant personnel will continue to be investigated by the judicial department, and we will follow up on the development of the matter at any time.

Although it is obvious that what Arenas does will eventually be subject to a long ban, and may even have worse results, his actions have led me to the conclusion that he is no longer suitable for appearing on the NHAR scoop from now on. So, I announced an indefinite ban on Arenas without paying a salary, and the penalty will take effect today until the NHA completes the final investigation results."

Originally, Chamberlain, Kobe, James, Iverson, Yao Ming, Duncan, and Garnett joined hands to write a letter. Stern, who is preparing to retire, does not intend to have a common experience with Arenas. He wants to retire peacefully, so he will be so slight in the early stage of dealing with this matter. Now, when the old man saw that Arenas regarded his good temper as weak, he said nothing about him.

In this way, NHAi was suspended indefinitely until the matter was revealed. In addition, McGee, Bletcher, Fury and others also suffered a bad luck. Stern issued a ticket to them, and in addition to the fine, there was also a suspension.

Now, no one dared to plead for Arenas again.

In fact, this time Arenas was unfortunately the target of public criticism: not only the league must blame him heavily, but the players and the players' union support him to punish him appropriately, and even the Wizards' management is willing to be sentenced to him.

There are two main sources of the Wizards' sudden attack on Arenas: First of all, this team has been famous in history for its deep hatred of gun violence. In order to protest the continuous shooting of the team's city, Washington, and the assassination of a friend Israeli Prime Minister Rabin in the mid-1930s, the team name "Bullet" that had been called for 30 years was changed to "Wizards" in the mid-1930s.

Now that the boss has just passed away, Arenas has caused such a big disaster. You can imagine what the team's attitude is.

Another point is that the contract signed by Arenas and the Wizards a few years ago now seems to be a high salary and low ability. Especially the successive injuries have greatly reduced Arenas' skills, and the Wizards are trying to get rid of this contract.

There is an "ethical clause" in the NHA labor and management clause that is not well known. When a player engages in immoral behavior or violates sportsmanship, the team has the right to terminate the contract.

Obviously, the Wizards hope to use this clause to terminate the huge contract with Arenas, which not only relieves the economic pressure of the team to pay luxury taxes for years, but also gives the team huge salary space in one fell swoop. In the free agent supermarket in the summer of the coming summer, the Wizards will also have a chance to get a share of the pie.

With such a small abacus, the Wizards have been doing their best to help the Procuratorate from the beginning of the "gun gate" since then. The NHA official provided evidence enough to destroy Arenas. The relevant evidence was handed over by them voluntarily, and they occasionally made publicly clear that the team wanted to terminate the contract, which made Arenas, who was dedicated to the Wizards and even took the initiative to reduce their salary before, was very disappointed with the team.

In particular, the team owner's public statement has clearly stated that Arenas has done something disappointing, as the recent report of the Washington Post pointed out that the relationship between the two sides may have completely broken.

Another problem here is that Cory Tanton, another party involved in the "gun door", has not been punished at all, and the procuratorate does not seem to have included him on the defendant list.

In this way, the whole incident presents a very funny scene. From the result, it looks like a one-act drama by Arenas. One person suddenly took out a few guns, then shouted for a long time, and the last person was punished.

Even the imitation and provocative performance before the game was not a big deal. However, just like the same defensive action, Yao Ming made a foul and protested to the referee, Rashid Wallace must be a skill foul. This time, this time, the same pre-match performance, Arenas caused Stern to issue an indefinite ban.

Basically, it can be said that Arenas is finished.

Arenas' frustration is also reflected in the All-Star Game.

In the early morning of 1st month 2, the NHA official website announced the list of the East-West starting lineups for the 210 Dallas All-Star Game. Chamberlain undoubtedly became the All-Star vote king this year, while Kobe ranked second and became the leader in the West.

While becoming the All-Star vote leader this year, Chamberlain once again broke his votes, with more than 4 million votes this year, which is the record of the NHA All-Stars so far

He also maintained the previous record. Last year's All-Star Game, his votes were more than three million, but this year he raised more than one million votes.

This time no one dares to say that Chamberlain is an All-Star who relies on Chinese to enter. Perhaps, Chinese people still account for a lot of votes this year, but in the eyes of American fans, he is still the league's well-deserved number one star.

This year's All-Star starting lineup of the Western Conference are: Oden, Chamberlain, Duncan, Kobe and Iverson.

Xiao Si is really sad now. He saw Yao Ming being injured. He definitely couldn't play the All-Star this season, so he just speculated and claimed the center position. Unfortunately, Oden was also a center. In addition, all American fans have great hopes for Oden, hoping that he could withstand Chamberlain and show the strength of the American center. He voted for him at the same time.

In this way, Xiao Si missed the All-Star starter again.

The Eastern Conference Stars are Howard, Nate, James Wade.

Yi Jianlian also performed well this season, and he did not disappoint his lottery pick. He averaged 17 points, B6 assists and B6 rebounds per game and won unanimous praise from domestic fans, but he continued to be selected as the All-Star starter, and other fans except Chinese were reluctant.

But what if you don’t want to? The Chinese votes are also votes. Moreover, with the buffering of the All-Star thing last year, there are not many people who truly resist Yi Jianlian’s entry into the All-Star.

The arms can't force their thighs. For the NHAR spoon stars, they used to bully international stars, but now they have finally changed.

Originally, Arenas had the chance to become an All-Star. He was very successful after his comeback this season and scored high scores in a row. Unfortunately, the gun-wielding goal has completely ruined him now.

What has not yet been released is the All-Star substitute lineup, and the league's head coaches have begun to vote.

Iverson had already said that he did not plan to play for this All-Star, but was selected by fans. Many fans left messages to his website and NHAR website, saying that Iverson had accompanied them through teenagers, and they watched his All-Stars one year and hoped that he could persevere.

Iverson means that he wants to support West, and his location is actually to suppress West. Otherwise, as Curry matures, West can already become the starting shooting guard, and it is also appropriate to let Curry be the sixth man.

But the All-Stars definitely do not allow players to withdraw privately, because this is related to the league's box office and image. Stern specifically called Iverson and asked him to participate in this All-Star.

The Warriors also supported Iverson's participation, because it is likely that this is Iverson's last All-Star.
