Chapter 166 165. After the Game
Zhang Yang's attack came too suddenly, and the Suns players didn't even have time to react and help.

But they are now thankful they did not react.

When they saw they were being pulled apart, Zhang Yang kicked Raja Bell in the face. Although he missed, it still gave them a fright.

This high school student is not only good at fighting and ruthless, but also very patient!

In order to ensure that they could give Raja Bell a good beating, they first pretended to "consider the overall situation". After everyone calmed down, they no longer protected Raja Bell so strictly and launched a surprise attack!
If I had prevented this guy from taking revenge on Raja Bell, I would probably be hated and beaten up at any time.

Being beaten would be fine, but the key point is the way he was beaten. It was so insulting. He actually slapped me in the face!

They saw with their own eyes that Raja Bell was slapped and knocked unconscious during the struggle!

Blood was oozing out of his mouth. If nothing unexpected happened, he must have lost a few teeth. However, his face was so swollen that the blood could only bubble out, and it was impossible for him to spit out the teeth.

Not to mention the Suns players, even the Bobcats players were stunned.

They thought the unofficial history was very wild, but now they realize that the unofficial history about their family member Zhang San is already very conservative.

It was the fat little boss who reacted quickly and pulled Zhang Yang away from the circle of Suns players... Although the Suns players seemed dumbfounded and no one had any intention of taking action, he still pulled his little brother towards the player tunnel and ran away first.

The referee waited until the Suns' team doctor came over and wanted to blow the whistle to send Zhang Yang off the court, but he was gone. He looked around and saw Zhang Yang, who was kicked in the butt by Felton and flew into the player tunnel with a scream...

The referee was speechless. Is this stupid looking guy the same thug from before?
The referee was actually in a good mood. I thought a big fight was going to break out, but in the end only one person fell down...

Although the people who were fighting were kicked out of the game, the procedure still had to be followed. The referee blew the whistle, signaled to the technical table to expel the players for two technical fouls, and then... pointed to the player tunnel.

Raja Bell's on-site inspection and the staff's cleaning of the blood on the floor will take time. The referee went to the technical table to see how to blow the whistle this time. There were almost 20 players on both sides of the court, and there was a wave of violent physical conflict. It should be punished...

The Bobcats players were pulled back to the bench by the referees and coaches and saw Jordan standing in front of his seat with an angry look on his face.

The players secretly thought that it was bad, the matter had become so serious that they were going to be scolded.

Felton was about to take the blame when he heard Jordan yell, "We must win tonight! If anyone on the other side dares to shoot in front of you, shoot him down! Confrontation! Foul!"

The Bobcats players were so angry that their blood boiled. What were they worried about? Their boss was the God of Basketball! The player who had the most flagrant fouls in NBA history! Their boss could empathize with Zhang San's experience more than they could!
After a while, the referee watched the video and found that Felton, who elbowed, Stoudemire and Marion, who pushed, Gerald Wallace and Kurt Thomas, who pulled each other, and Dio, who rushed into the court and almost knocked the referee over... each received a technical foul, and the technical fouls of both sides were offset by free throws.

Only Raja Bell's second-degree flagrant foul was left, and the Bobcats made two free throws.

The player who was fouled was sent off, and Matt Carroll, the team's most accurate free throw shooter, took two free throws.

Both free throws were made, 86 to 82, and the Bobcats' lead reached 4 points!
Despite such a sudden change, we still have to fight for victory in the game. Just now, while the referee was watching the replay, Nash actively mobilized the emotions of his teammates, which was a one-for-one trade between Raja Bell and Zhang Yang. In terms of strength, they gained. Without playing defense, Raja Bell would just be a top three-point shooter, and the opponent would lose a high-post offensive hub.

But after the game resumed, the Suns players were confused...

The opposing players are going crazy!
On the offensive end, they rush towards the inside, and on the defensive end, their movements are extremely rough. If they cannot substantially interfere with the shot, they will directly commit a rough foul.

The opponent is still in a furious state because his teammate was fouled!
As for the Suns... Raja Bell was beaten and carried out, but they really didn't feel any sense of solidarity against the enemy.

The Suns players actually felt that Raja Bell's flagrant foul was unreasonable. They also felt ashamed when Raja Bell suddenly choked Kobe in last year's playoffs. Even Thomas, who was called "Dirty Kurt", did not watch that flagrant foul.

Many years later, when Kurt Thomas became a basketball commentator, he ranked the foul against Kobe by Raja Bell, which he witnessed, as the first when selecting the dirtiest fouls, saying that the foul brought shame to basketball.

If a team commits a flagrant foul because they are provoked, ridiculed, or feel unhappy about rough confrontation or because there is a grudge against them, then that is understandable and as a teammate they should help. However, because they cannot prevent flagrant fouls, the teammates all feel ashamed, especially Kurt Thomas who prides himself on defense.

Some players of the Suns team would use fouls to fight back against the Bobcats' violent defense, but most of them chose to dodge and shoot. Naturally, it was difficult to guarantee the accuracy of their shots. The Suns' defense was in disarray, and the Bobcats gradually expanded their lead...

On the sidelines, Jordan had just vented his emotions, but now he was worried again, fearing that his teammates would get angry and fight again. He had the mentality of a player just now, but now he has returned to the mentality of a boss, and he regrets adding fuel to the fire this time.

Jordan asked Bickerstaff, "How's Jack doing?"

Bickerstaff: "It's not a big problem. His neck was bruised and his left shoulder was twisted when he fell to the ground. No wonder he didn't hit anyone with both hands just now. The team doctor initially determined that there was no structural damage. It's not a big problem. He will be fine after his suspension ends."

Jordan was speechless: "You are really calm."

Bickerstaff: "You think he made the wrong choice?"

When Jordan saw Bickerstaff's calm old face, he thought that he had also experienced the 80s... No, he had 30 years of work experience and had experienced the darkest age of American basketball in the 70s. He had seen a lot of things like this.

He thought for a moment and said, "His choice is right. Every team has villains, or at least players who look like villains. Don't we have Kendrick? If Jack endures it this time, he will be constantly provoked by the opponent's villains with physical confrontations like Carter did in the past. Those villains may only want to provoke at the beginning, but after they get too excited during the game, the provocation may turn into a real foul. Don't overestimate those people's brains.

By doing this, he would let those people know that he would definitely take revenge and would try every possible means to do so. This would be a good deterrent...but I really didn't expect that he would retaliate by pretending to be magnanimous and then launching a surprise attack.

Never mind. He still needs time to recover even if he is not banned. I will just forget about him and think about how to scold that bastard on the other side in the press conference after the game!"

...

As for Zhang Yang, after being ruthlessly kicked into the player tunnel by the fat boss, he was taken away for examination by the team doctor who had just received the notice and rushed to the stadium.

The team doctor's initial examination showed a sprained left shoulder and a contusion of the neck.

After the team doctor asked the team staff to send the report to Bickerstaff, he took Zhang Yang to the hospital for examination as usual.

The examination results were consistent with the team doctor's diagnosis. Treatment had to be carried out the next day. Zhang Yang stayed in a single room in the hospital for one night and wore shoulder and neck braces to avoid accidentally aggravating the injury while sleeping.

The first time he was hospitalized, he felt it was quite new, but it was very uncomfortable to sleep with the brace on, and when he looked in the mirror in the toilet, he looked scary, as if he had suffered serious injuries.

But he endured this discomfort because he wanted to get better soon.

Zhang Yang was not picky about his bed and he was quite tired from playing the game. He fell asleep quickly despite feeling uncomfortable. He was woken up by his parents the next morning.

Zhang Yang sat up, looked at his parents with resentment, and said, "Your son is injured, and none of you came to the hospital with me!"

Last night, his parents were also there to watch the game.

Yang Jing replied: "When I saw you get fouled, I almost rushed in to beat up Bale. Your dad held me back, and then you got up and held your teammates back. I saw you calmly stop the fight, and I felt I couldn't cause you any trouble, so I gave up. Who would have thought that you faked a shot to dodge the opponent, and then rushed in to beat Bale up when the opponent wasn't paying attention... After that, I felt embarrassed to follow you into the player tunnel."

Why did Zhang Yang feel a hint of disgust? It must be an illusion!

He responded, "Mom, it's a good thing you didn't go. Even before you lost weight, it would have been difficult for you to beat an NBA player. You're only about 5 feet 4 inches tall, and that guy is about the same height as me and heavier than me. You'll be even more defeated if you lose weight."

Yang Jing: "Yes, I can't run with a bucket of water in one hand. I can only run with both hands carrying a bucket of water. I have much less strength. Losing weight does have its disadvantages."

Zhang Yang: "It's okay, Mom, you've become a beautiful girl again after losing weight. You can only carry one bucket of water at a time, so can't you just carry it twice?"

Yang Jing: “That makes sense.”

Zhang Chen: "..."

What kind of logic is this? No, why did the topic suddenly go so far off topic?
Zhang Chen was still thinking about how the couple teased their eldest son, but now he wanted to change the subject but didn't know how.

Zhang Yang chatted with his mother for a while, and amused little Wukong who came with his parents for a while, and then the doctor came.

After Zhang Yang's parents confirmed with the doctor that the injury was not serious, they took their youngest son away from the hospital.

After seeing Zhang Yang able to get up and beat someone up last night, the couple weren't really worried anymore.

As for the matter of their son beating someone up, they talked to Jordan about it after the game last night, and the three of them agreed that if they didn't retaliate against this kind of thing, it would only lead to more bullying.

Reputation may be affected, but as long as you play well in subsequent games, it is not that important.

After his parents went back, Zhang Yang asked the doctor to borrow his computer to watch the news.

Zhang Yang's injury only requires conservative physical therapy, and the use of electronic devices will not have any impact. The treatment was scheduled for the afternoon. Seeing that Zhang Yang was bored, the doctor lent him a computer.

Zhang Yang went online to read the match report and news about last night's game.

He was relieved to see the team eventually win the game 117-106.

He doesn't regret fighting, but he will regret not taking revenge. He can't just choke the opponent for no reason next time he fights, right? He must find an opportunity to beat the opponent up on the spot.

The Bobcats ended the Suns' nine-game winning streak and improved their record to 9 wins and 15 losses, but Zhang Yang saw that no media hyped up the fact that they prevented the Suns from winning ten games in a row. All the news was about his matchup with Raja Bell last night.

Although last night's game was not broadcast live, Zhang Yang saw the video of him being choked by Raja Bell and him pinning Raja Bell to the ground and beating him.

The former looks scary and the latter looks bloody.

He saw that when the video was first exposed, the game had not yet ended, which means that the person who recorded the video on the spot spread the video before the end of the game.

He also saw news reports that vividly described his "sneak attack" on Raja Bell.

Zhang Yangjin took a look at the forum and saw that netizens were arguing fiercely.

Some criticized him for hitting someone, while others said Raja Bell deserved the beating.

Some said that he was a despicable sneak attack, while others wondered why he didn't kill Raja Bell.

Some also said that he stopped the fight and went to beat people up by himself, and that he should take responsibility for his own actions...

He saw that some of the posts or replies attacking him seemed like they had no idea what happened last night, and they just read a news headline and started to criticize him.

When reporting on things like fights, the media will naturally not pick out the good things to say, at least they will use the most eye-catching headlines.

The most instructive one is ESPN's "Jack angrily beats the defensive player."

Zhang Yang didn't know where to start complaining about this title.

The media in California, which had a favorable impression of Zhang Yang, gave a headline similar to that of the "Shocking" department.

Local media websites and local fan forums defend him very much, but the regional media has too little influence to be ignored in the world of the Internet.

However, even if a large number of people were guided by the media to attack him, he found that in the portals and forums of those large media, the number of people speaking for him was just as many as those attacking him, and he had the upper hand in the argument!
Zhang Yang looked around at the IPs and found many of them were from California, which was normal.

He has temporarily gained 60E fans!

There were also some fans who were just there to watch the fun and did not participate in the argument, but instead talked about other related topics.

For example, some fans said that the way he beat Raja Bell was pure retaliatory humiliation.

Zhang Yang was speechless to find that the legendary stories about him that the media had previously hyped were "confirmed" after last night.

The most famous title of their Bobcats team now is the New Bad Boys, so he has a new nickname - Bad Boy.

The nickname was given by fans who were just there to watch the fun because he is the youngest player in the league. Even next season, according to the current draft rules, he will still be the youngest player in the league.

Zhang Yang also found the video of Jordan scolding the opposing players and coaches at the press conference last night. Don't say it, even though he knows that the main reason Jordan defended him so much was for money, he still felt like he was being protected.

Near noon, teammates came to the hospital in groups of three or five to visit Zhang Yang.

Not long after his teammates left, someone came who surprised Zhang Yang - Nash.

Nash didn't stay long. Before the team left Charlotte, he secretly came from the hotel to visit Zhang Yang without telling his teammates. After learning about his injury, he left.

Nash is very upset now. He finally found a successor he likes, but now he feels that this successor is even further away from them...
