Chapter 134 Suspended for 9 games, Stern defends Qin Chong
As soon as the joke fell, the surrounding executives made some voices, some echoing, but also doubting.
Secretly received millions of dollars in benefits from the Nike Group. One of the important tasks of the joke is to help Nike suppress Qin Chong and promote James.
After all, Qin Chong is now a signed star under Under Armour, and Nike will never allow such a star to dominate the league, and his commercial value has skyrocketed.
Soon, another executive was speaking out.
Clearly, this man is a fan of Adam Jokes.
"I agree with the vice president of jokes, Qin must be given a fair and just punishment, even if his elbow was not intentional, but under the unknown circumstances on the court, "
"Using such a dangerous celebration is a huge mistake in itself!"
"30 game suspension and $80 fine, I don't think it's too much!"
"Although Qin Xinxiu has performed bravely in the first four games before the game, he is still immature in character and mentality after all, and needs to be tempered!"
"So give him a certain suspension and let him restrain his arrogance, so that he can make better progress in the future and become a high-quality star idol in the league!"
After listening to the opinions of the two, David Stern smiled, and then continued to look at the others.
"The 30-game suspension is still a bit light. I think it will be at least 40 games, and the fine will be millions of dollars!"
"At least 35 games..."
"50 games can't be more..."
Most of the executives at the headquarters thought that severely punishing Qin Chong was the best solution, but there were also a few people who spoke up for Qin Chong.
In other words, they are more concerned about the interests of the alliance.
"I feel that Qin Chong's punishment should be dealt with according to the circumstances. After all, he accidentally injured James Harden completely unintentionally!"
"As for your saying that Qin's playing on the court is too violent and bloody, but I feel that these are within the rules of basketball!"
"And Qin's playing style has brought a wave of enthusiasm to the entire league, making more fans fall in love with basketball and this supernova!"
"According to statistics, Qin and the Nets accounted for two of the three games with the highest ratings in the league as a whole in the new season. They were the opening game and yesterday's game against the Thunder!"
"Besides, this is only the case when Qin just entered the alliance!"
"Following his steady performance and the expansion of his popularity and influence, the match between Qin Chong and the Nets will have a greater impact on the league!"
"So I suggest that, out of comprehensive consideration of all aspects, it is most appropriate to suspend Qin within 10 games. The fine can be more, about 100 million dollars!"
Before the executive's words fell, he attracted the cold eyes of many jokers.
The atmosphere in the meeting room became very awkward for a while.
With a smile on his face, David Stern said slowly after a moment of silence:
"Well, I understand all your opinions, and what you said makes sense!"
"So, after comprehensive consideration, I decided to impose a nine-match ban on Qin and a fine of $9 million!"
"Everyone should have no opinion, right?"
As soon as David Stern's words came out, there was an uproar in the entire conference room. Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, thinking that the additional punishment of the president is too light?
Elbow everyone into the ICU, is this just a 9-game suspension?
As for the fine, although 120 million dollars is a lot, it is nothing to worry about for the high-income new champion.
Not to mention Qin Chong's fine, Nets owner Prokhorov will definitely bear it for him.
The president clearly wanted to protect Qin Chong, and praised him for Wanchao's overtaking and quickly becoming No.1 in the league?
To put it bluntly, we must synthesize everyone's opinions, and in the end, isn't it arbitrary?
Adam Joke was the first to stand up, wanting to refute the president's words.
But this little Jewish old man was full of aura, and looked at Adam Joke with a hidden knife in his smile:
"What? Do you have any comments?"
Adam Joke met David Stern's cold eyes, and immediately swallowed back the words that came to his lips, and said with an embarrassed smile:
"No...no, I support the president's decision!"
On the ESPN Sports Express at noon that day, Qin Chong's suspension was officially broadcast live:
Suspended for 9 games and fined $120 million. During the suspension period, players are not allowed to enter any NBA stadium to watch the game.
After the additional punishment was issued, several families were happy and others were sad.
For the New Jersey Nets, this additional penalty for Qin Chong is not considered heavy.
After all, even if that elbow was an unintentional move, his impact was too great. Harden was directly elbowed from the paint area to near the center line.
The image of the blood splatter is still vivid, this scene is really scary.
But after playing four games in the new season, every fan of the Nets knows very well,
The importance of Qin Chong to this team.
He is suspended, and the competitiveness of the entire team will definitely fall from heaven to hell.
And in fact, it is.
After Qin Chong learned that he was suspended for 9 games, his mood was still calm. In his opinion, David Stern's punishment was already quite light.
As a time traveler, Qin Chong remembered that Harden was elbowed by Artest in the original world, and he was suspended by the league for 7 games and fined.
However, when Artest elbowed Harden, the lethality and shock were far less severe than his own this time. At that time, Harden only recuperated for more than a month, and then quickly returned, and he was in a brave state.
But this time, Qin Chong estimated that even if Harden would not be reimbursed for the season, he would have to recuperate for at least three to five months before returning.
A ban is a ban, a penalty is a fine,
However, Qin Chong's influence in the Nets VS Thunder battle quickly swept the world.
Those fans who didn't know much about Qin Chong before quickly became fans of Qin Chong and the Nets.
And impatient, eagerly looking forward to Qin Chong's 9-match suspension ending as soon as possible, returning to the arena, and enjoying the demeanor of the God of War.
Without Qin Chong, the Nets will struggle in the next few games.
Facing the Philadelphia 76ers at home, the Nets were traded to get old players Devin Harris and Brook Lopez both broke out, and Thaddeus Young also played steadily.
Although Nash, Iguodala, and Alian also scored in double figures on the Nets side and took on heavy responsibilities,
But in the end, luck and morale were bad, especially when the inside line was blown out by the 76ers.
In the end, the game was lost by 7 points, and the four-game winning streak was ended.
Immediately afterwards, they played consecutive away games against strong teams such as the Lakers, Mavericks, and Heat. Naturally, they were all bloodbathed.
After four consecutive victories, a wave of four consecutive losses is inevitable...
After returning to the home court, without Qin Chong, the attendance rate of the Continental Airlines Arena has dropped significantly.
The ratings are even worse.
Fans are calling for Qin Chong to return as soon as possible on social media and the Internet, looking forward to the Nets returning to the winning streak at the beginning of the season.
