After finishing the back-to-back game in Los Angeles, the Spurs flew back to San Antonio the next day.

Leonard's examination report was also released, there was no fracture, and he could recover after a few days of rest.

This is great news.

Good news is inevitable.

Not long after the plane resisted San Antonio, the suspension results for the previous conflict also came out.

Martin was suspended for two games for punching Leonard and was fined $20,000.

Tang Tian was suspended for three games for punching Martin and was fined $25,000.

The two-match matches were 50 major boards, because Tang Tian caused more serious consequences, and it was not a conflicting party, so there were relatively more bans and fines.

The most serious NBA ban was the "Auben Hill Incident", and Artest was banned for a whole season at that time.

But that is because of the conflict between players and fans. Fans are the God of the league, and the league has great efforts in maintaining this area.

However, the punishment for conflicts between players will be much smaller.

Martin is a habitual offender and an instigator, and being fined $20,000 is not a big deal.

But Tang Tian was punished 25,000 yuan a rookie, which is not a small amount.

You should know that his first year rookie was only tens of thousands after tax deductions.

This punch is a little expensive.

The Spurs were in the stadium when they received the news and had just finished their daily training.

The players couldn't help but complain about the league's fine.

"Is the alliance's small vault empty again?"

Dior's words caused a burst of laughter from his teammates.

"Tang, I'll pay your fine for you."

Ginobili walked to Tang Tian at this time and whispered on his shoulder.

"No, Manu, I have money."

Tang Tian said.

"You kid, don't pretend to be rich. You are standing up for the team this time."

Ginobili continued, did he know that Tang Tian is just a second round pick.

"I'm really rich, I've received a lot of endorsements."

Tang Tian is not an ordinary rookie. His past endorsements add up to 70% to 88% of them, and there are only 2 million US dollars in his bank card. He is really not a polite statement.

When he dared to rush forward, he had already been punished for being suspended and fined.

When Ginobili saw Tang Tian’s reaction, he knew that what he said was true, so he didn’t force it.

After a while, Duncan suddenly walked to Tang Tian, ​​then sat down and spoke two words:

"card number."

Tang Tian was stunned for a moment.

"fine."

Duncan usually speaks concisely, and now he is concise.

"No need, Tim, I can afford it myself."

Tang Tian said as he took out his cell phone and then gave him a look at the money in his account.

Duncan nodded, touched his head with a smile... and then walked back and sat down.

“…”

Green had come here too, but when he saw Duncan go back, he smiled and sat down.

Looking at the reactions of his teammates, Tang Tian suddenly felt that he was very lucky to be selected to the Spurs.

After making a standout for his teammates, the whole team rushed to pay a fine for him, which is really rare.

After a while, Leonard walked over to Tang Tian and sat down.

"It's not a matter of how much money, it's because I have to pay this."

Leonard has picked up his cell phone and is ready to transfer money.

Tang Tian was speechless and was about to reject Leonard.

The door of the locker room was pushed open at this time, and Popovich walked in with a serious look on his face.

When the team members saw this expression, they stopped communicating and turned their heads to look at him.

"Tang's behavior is very irrational and not appropriate. I don't want to see this happen again next time."

Popovich spoke with a serious expression.

The players nodded one after another after hearing this. Popovich was the head coach, so he definitely couldn't support the players to do such things.

After Popovich finished speaking, he walked to Tang Tian and spoke:

"Give me your card number, I've paid your fine."

“…”

Tang Tian was speechless. This was the fifth person who said he would pay the fine for him today, and this time he was the head coach.

However, these two sentences from Popovich highlighted his character, and he was so stingy.

"Don't reject me, I'm the head coach."

When Popovich saw Tang Tian about to speak, he immediately said.

After saying this, the other team members in the locker room suddenly burst into laughter.

This sentence can also be understood as: Don’t reject me, I also want face.

Tang Tian knew that it was not appropriate to refuse again, so he gave his card number to Popovich.

At worst, just go back and give Popovich a few bottles of high-end red wine.

It really goes, when the two agreed to drink together during the draft show, they haven't had a drink yet.

Popovich finally paid for Tang Tian's fine, and the Spurs players stopped paying the fine for Tang Tian.

This punch seems very expensive, but Tang Tian won the hearts of the people in the Spurs, which can't be bought with more money.

Popovich paid the fine, but no one could help with the ban.

Tang Tian will miss the team's next three games, and according to the rules, he cannot appear at the game site, and there will be no salary for these three games.

Although he could not go to the game site, Tang Tian still participated in the training class and he also flew away with the team.

Because it is a league ban, for him and the Spurs, the only change Tang Tian has is that he cannot play.

In the first game Tang Tian missed, the Spurs faced the Thunder at home.

Popovich arranged Leonard to enter the first place. Nard's movement speed was much slower than Durant, and his experience was a bit worse.

Durant scored 41 points in this game, helping the Thunder win in the end, avenging the previous game.

After playing against the Thunder, the Spurs ushered in another trip to the Eastern Conference three consecutive visitors.

They will first play back-to-back games with the Celtics and the Knicks, and then play against the Bulls after a day off.

The game against the Celtics was very anxious, and Rivers did a good job of controlling Parker and Ginobili's two ball-holding points.

In the end, the Spurs lost their opponent 101-103 and suffered a two-game losing streak.

The next day, Popovich rested Duncan and Ginobili, put Dior into the starting lineup.

JR Smith was in a hot state, scoring his first 30+ score in the season, helping the Knicks win the game.

However, Dior's first start in the Spurs career was very successful, contributing 15 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists, and scored his first triple-double in the season.

The Spurs suffered a three-game losing streak, the first time since the season.

Although it has something to do with the opponent's strength, the impact of Tang Tian's absence is also very obvious.

The successive explosions of Durant and JR Smith exposed some of Green's weaknesses in single defense.

If it is a combination of single defense and auxiliary defense, Green is already a first-class defensive player in the league, but if he takes out single defense alone, he is still a little bit of a big deal.

The team will face the Bulls, the number one in the East in the next game. It can be foreseen that this will be another fierce battle.

"I'm starting to miss Don."

After the game against the Knicks, Popovich said happily.

ps: I was discharged from the hospital today, and then...

The little eggplant has a name!

Tang Yongqi!

Qilin belongs to Fire, and the protagonist of the next book is here!
Chapter completed!
