250: Runner Gene (4K(1/2)
Ideal: When Wayne woke up, the first news he saw was the news that he had broken the three-point shooting record. Almost all the media were exaggerating about himself.
Reality: As soon as Wayne woke up, he received a call from Steve Patterson.
"It's a pity Wei, although the league did not decide to fine you, it still gave you a three-game suspension.
But it doesn’t matter, you must be very tired in the middle of the season, so just take a good rest in these three games.”
Wayne understood everything Patterson said, but combined, Wayne couldn't understand it.
Suspended?
Special code, I’m banned again!?
No, sir!
I originally said that I would have a perfect attendance season this season, but this is ridiculous...
The key is, why should I be banned again?
Didn’t I get a T on the spot when I punched Ginobili?
So Wayne conveyed his questions to Patterson.
"Oh, the referee's report showed that you were suspected of insulting fans during the game. Therefore, the league decided to suspend you for three games.
Yesterday at the scene, did you say a word starting with F to the stands?"
"Hmm... It seems that there should be some." Wayne scratched his head. He was not wondering whether he said it or not, but whether he only said one.
"No wonder the league has always been very strict about conflicts with fans.
It's okay, your performance last night was very, very good. No matter what, you are our hero, Wei!
You set a great record and you made the team shine!"
Patterson's attitude didn't seem to care about Wayne's suspension at all. He focused all his attention on Wayne breaking the three-pointer record.
Well, this is the general manager of the players.
Speaking of which, Stern actually had a headache yesterday.
Logically speaking, since Wayne broke the three-point shooting record, this should be the best time to hype him up.
But it was impossible for the league to do nothing about Wayne's insult to the fans. So, Stern wanted to just issue a fine of ten thousand or twenty thousand.
But then I thought about it...it doesn't seem very kind to fine Wayne a sum of money every season.
So Stern changed the fine to a suspension.
If Wayne knew the entire process of Stern's decision-making, he would be absolutely pissed to death.
Don’t you know that a ban can cost you more than a fine!?
In short, Wayne's decision to be suspended is actually just Stern giving some comfort to Spurs fans.
From the bottom of his heart, Stern definitely does not want Wayne to be suspended.
If Wayne is gaining momentum and you suspend him, it doesn't have to do with money. But due to pressure, there is no other way.
Although fans worship stars, in turn, fans, as consumers, receive more protection.
However, even if Wayne was suspended, this did not affect Wayne's importance in Stern's eyes at all.
Therefore, all major media outlets only briefly mentioned the news about Wayne's suspension. Almost 90% of newspapers only used an eraser-sized box to present the news about Wayne's suspension.
The rest of the page was devoted to boasting about Wayne breaking the three-point record.
Overnight, the debate over whether Wayne was worthy of the All-Star starting forward disappeared.
If the Trail Blazers experience two consecutive losses in Texas, Wayne will definitely not escape the criticism from reporters.
But now, the situation is completely different.
If you don't say "Wayne is one of the best forwards" now, you will be looked down upon as not knowing football.
Speaking of contempt, the Spurs were severely despised by the fans again.
After seeing the news that Wayne broke the three-pointer record, the first reaction of many neutral fans was not how awesome Wei Ge was, but - why the hell is it the Spurs again!
Whenever there is such an exaggerated scene, it seems to have something to do with the Spurs. Moreover, the Spurs are always the one who gets slaughtered...
The Spurs' status has really plummeted now.
In Wayne's previous life, the Spurs were undoubtedly one of the most successful teams in the 21st century.
Their three championships in five years were officially recognized by the NBA as a dynasty. Not to mention that in 2014, the Spurs broke up the Heat's Big Three.
But now with Wayne... The Spurs have only won one championship since entering the 21st century, which was the championship before Wayne entered the league.
This year, without Yin Bao, the Mavericks may not be eliminated early, and the Lakers and Trail Blazers are still on the rise, it will be very difficult for the Spurs to break out of the Western Conference.
Three crowns become one crown, which doesn't sound so scary anymore.
I don’t know if the Spurs can still win the championship in 2014, but at least in the first decade of the 21st century, the Spurs will not be that great anymore.
Speaking of which, isn't Deng Dai's position as the number one PF in history no longer so stable?
After all, from the current perspective, Duncan will win at least two fewer championships in his career than in the original history.
What is the concept of two champions? Sir Alex Renba devoted his entire youth to not having a champion?
Barkley: I really didn't expect this could kill me.
Wayne touched his chin, feeling as if something big could be done.
At present, both KG and Driver still have zero championships, while Wayne and Duncan are only one championship away.
In the future of his career, if Wayne wins more championships, plays more dominant games, and wins a few excellent personal honors...
Tsk, tsk, tsk, I can’t continue thinking, I’m drifting away.
Well, actually Lao Dengtou doesn’t have to worry too much about his historical status.
What if people think of Wayne as a shooting guard...
With a happy mood, the Blazers team returned to their base.
As Wayne drove down Portland Street, for a moment, he felt as if he had returned to the summer in the big cornfield two years ago.
Because today, countless fans gathered on both sides of the street to cheer for Wayne, and there was a small championship parade.
In the sky, helicopters from the TV station were hovering. Because there were so many fans gathered, the local police even sent out mounted police to clear the way for Wayne.
For those who didn’t know this, they thought it was a visit from a leader of a certain country.
Fans on both sides of the street, mostly holding signs with the number "13" written on them, celebrated Wayne breaking the NBA record with 13 three-pointers.
Although the number 13 is considered unlucky by 90% of Americans, at this moment, the charm of sports is greater than anything else.
In addition to these, many people held up signs with Chinese characters written on them.
For example, Wayne now saw the four words "Brother Wei Liu Biao" written on the signboard held up by a black man...
Wayne is a well-deserved ambassador for cultural exchanges between China and the United States!
Wayne is indispensable for the appearance of such down-to-earth Chinese signboards on the streets of America.
After watching it for a while, Wayne was filled with surprises.
Because in addition to "Wei Ge Liu Bie", Wayne also saw Chinese nameplates such as "Popovich is mentally retarded" and "Wei Ge is the best in the world".
It seems that the Chinese proficiency of these Portland fans is above Level 4.
The mood of Portland fans is actually not difficult to understand.
After all, this city has been torn apart for too long.
Although the Trail Blazers' record has not been too bad, this team has indeed not produced any stars for a long time.
Now that a superstar has finally emerged, can the fans not be excited?
After returning home, Wayne officially began his suspended life.
The next three games the Trail Blazers will play happen to all be played in Portland.
This also means that Wayne can stay at home and watch his teammates perform. From the 11th to the 17th today, Wayne will be idle at home.
No one else was suspended just after breaking a league record...
Although there is no game to play, Wayne is not idle either.
On the first day, he represented the Trail Blazers and visited the children at a local orphanage.
The next day, Wayne participated in a Nike commercial shoot during the day. That night, he appeared in the Rose Garden again to attend the game between the Trail Blazers and Kings.
Although he was only sitting on the sidelines in a suit and tie, the fans still gave Wayne warm cheers.
During the game, live footage was also shown to Wayne from time to time.
Even just sitting on the sidelines, Wayne is still the focus of the entire Rose Garden.
That night, the Trail Blazers also successfully defeated the Kings, who had no coward.
Because of a calf strain, Tai did not come to Portland with the team today. Therefore, the Kings did not drag the game to the end like last time.
To be continued...
