Chapter 258 Penalty and losing streak
"Regarding the results of the Celtics-Magic home clash: Celtics Rajon Rondo suspended for four games and fined $5, Kevin Garnett suspended for one game and fined $1. Magic Bruce Chin suspended for five games and fined $6, Matt Barnes suspended for one game and fined $1."
The league's penalty is one board each, but the punishment is relatively heavy.
Similar to this kind of conflict, the penalty is generally relatively light.
Even if a player is seriously injured, the penalty is a suspension of dozens of games. Generally, there are no conflicts with bad consequences on this kind of stadium, and it is mostly suspended for one or two games.
This time, the alliance is more ruthless.
After the penalty, the Celtics, who had a lot of opinions, didn't say anything. Only Rajon Rondo had a gloomy face and kept silent when he was interviewed, suspected of being dissatisfied with the penalty.
The Magic didn't say anything, and acquiesced to the penalty.
There is a tacit understanding between the top management of the league and the team. If the team really offends the top management of the league to death, then the team will not be able to play in the future. The draft, the whistle of key games, the league's random black hands, the team will suffer.
Therefore, the team clamored very loudly, but when the penalties were similar, no team would really be angry.
The game still continues, but the lack of influence caused by this game continues.
Before the game, the voting for this year's All-Star Game was in full swing. In terms of Eastern Conference point guards, Qin Yang's statistics ranked second, second only to Allen Iverson, and slightly higher than Derrick Rose.
Allen Iverson has issued a statement to miss this game.
In other words, Qin Yang is likely to start as a point guard.
However, after the suspension, Qin Yang's votes increased slowly, while Derrick Rose's votes increased rapidly, tending to catch up with Qin Yang.
On February 2, the Magic played against the Bucks at home.
In this game, Qin Yang was absent, and the Bucks were interviewed with high spirits.
The big-mouthed Bogut even expressed that he would win an away game to prove the strength of the Bucks and prove that he is stronger than Howard.
Bogut, who used to be Duncan's template, has played well in recent seasons. Although he is a few blocks away from Duncan, he is still ranked among the top players in the league.
In the last match, Bogut caused a lot of trouble for Howard.
If it weren't for Qin Yang's explosion from the outside and directly blowing up the opponent, the Bucks really had hope of winning.
Qin Yang sat on the bench in a low-key manner and did not accept any interviews before the game.
But in the middle of the game, the Magic team made major adjustments to the lineup, and Vince Carter became the starter at a critical moment.
After Vince Carter entered the Magic team, he played well in a few games, and then went from bad to worse. His shooting percentage was less than [-]% at one point, and his nickname changed from half man and half god to fat card.
Even playing less than 10 minutes in several games, the main substitute is not even mentioned.
However, this game started unexpectedly.
Qin Yang was not surprised, because Vince has been losing weight, slimming down, and adjusting his state every day for more than a month, and his state has picked up in the past few games.
In this game, Vince Carter proved his strength.
He went 17-for-7 and scored 17 points, 9 assists and 7 rebounds. This was the best performance in the last month. The Magic generally performed poorly without Qin Yang, and often Howard alone was useless no matter how hard he tried.
But in this game, Vince Carter performed amazingly.
Howard had 22 points, 11 rebounds and 5 blocks. The defense at the basket was terrible.
The overall state of the Magic is mediocre. Rashard Lewis was 16 of 5, and his shooting percentage was just over [-]%.
Ryan Anderson was 5 for 1 and played poorly.
Fortunately, Redick and Gortat continued to play, and the Magic won 99-82.
After the game, Qin Yang accepted an interview:
"I obey the league's penalty, but I don't regret it. If someone violates me on the court, I can't do anything. This is not my style. Rajon Rondo is injured. I apologize. If it happens again, I think I need to use it harder. This is my answer."
"Vince performed very well, which is what we expected. When everyone laughed at him as a fat card, no one cared what he went through, and no one saw him working hard in the trainer, losing weight, and training hard, so you will be surprised by this performance."
Before the verdict came out, Qin Yang admitted his cowardice and dared not say a word.
But after the penalty came out, Qin Yang was right.
Don't be shy, just be positive.
The NBA is a competitive league, and there is no human affection or reason to speak of.
On the field of competition, many people will secretly make small moves, which Qin Yang reluctantly accepts, but like Rajon Rondo, it is impossible for Qin Yang not to respond.
There are also previous conflicts with Bruce Bowen and Kobe.
If you are cowardly, more people will immediately bully you.
The last time he faced Bruce Bowen, Qin Yang almost kicked Bowen out of the game. Since then, almost no one in the league dared to attack Qin Yang ruthlessly.
If he dared to attack harshly, Qin Yang would also dare to fight back.
Most players in the league have come this way.
Qin Yang's words caused a lot of controversy, but it was obvious that after the words were spoken, the players of the Magic team looked at Qin Yang with an attitude of awe and admiration for Qin Yang.
Rajon Rondo did not respond and did not comment.
On February 2, the Wizards played at home.
After winning the Bucks, the Magic recovered a lot.
With Howard here, the Magic are still a strong team, and the Wizards Arenas is still suspended, which means that the Magic will not suffer in the lineup.
这场比赛，霍华德一如既往的出色，18中8，拿到20分18篮板4助攻2抢断3盖帽的全能数据。
But Pietrus was 5 for 1, and Vince Carter was 17 for 5. Regardless of the shooting percentage, the Magic team is not worth it.
The Magic fought fiercely until the fourth quarter, and were beaten by the Wizards 91-92.
Caron Butler scored 22 of 11, scored 31 points, 9 rebounds and 1 assist, and made a lore shot, winning the best of the game.
Randy Foye also played extremely well with 22 points, 7 assists and 7 rebounds.
The Magic didn't complain about losing at home.
A penetrating small forward like Caron Butler is not very strong, but the Magic can't defend, which is really embarrassing.
Only at this time did the importance of Qin Yang appear.
With Qin Yang's height and speed, he is most suitable for defending this type of small forward.
The last time he played against the Wizards, Qin Yang beat the Wizards both offensively and defensively on the outside. Coupled with Howard's inside mana, the victory was sealed in half the game.
Qin Yang was no longer there, and the Magic lost at home to the Wizards.
What is even more depressing is No. 7. The Magic lost a big away game against the opponent they least expect to lose.
Today is still a chapter, tomorrow will explode!
