The video of Wayne strangling Bogut naked went viral around the world.

No one cares that Wayne scored 33 points in this game, and no one cares that the Pacers beat the Bucks.

What everyone is concerned about is all the conflict in just a few dozen seconds.

"Michael Reid is a very professional referee, and he immediately patted Wayne's forearm.

It's a pity that this was a fighting match without a referee. Fortunately, Andrew Bogut surrendered before he was knocked unconscious."

"Wei is the most dangerous player in the league, and I think he is doing everyone a disservice by playing in the league."

"Danger? Dude, you should go watch the games in the 1990s. Michael Jordan would never complain about this."

The outside world has a very heated discussion on this matter. Some are just watching the fun, some are criticizing Wayne, and some are like Lord Barker who is enthusiastic about it.

But for Wayne, this incident was anything but exciting.

"Suspended two games and fined $5,000."

The league immediately issued a fine the day after the game.

When David Stern heard that Wayne was fighting again, he felt unbelievable.

"What? Is there anyone so unafraid of death in this alliance? Who is so brainless!?"

When I saw it was Bogut, oh, that’s okay.

Bogut does seem like the kind of person who would seek death.

After entering the league and playing just a few games, I often made some mistakes.

This young man is still inflated.

Stern didn't even know what to do. Wayne had just returned from suspension and had only played a few games...

I felt a bit embarrassed to issue the fine, as if the league was just trying to make money from Wayne's fine...

But no matter what, a fine will definitely be issued.

As for why he was banned for two games...

The Pacers' opponents in the next two games are the weak Bobcats. The two teams will play each other once at their respective home courts.

After two consecutive games with the Bobcats, it was the Chinese Derby between Mosaic and the Pacers!

Now, you know why Stern suspended Wayne for two games.

The little old man is very smart!

Basketball is a sport, but the NBA is not just a sport, it is a business.

Do you understand business?

After returning to the cornfield from Milwaukee, the local fans naturally supported their FMVP and cheered wildly.

Anyway, we won the game, and the opponents in the last two games were not strong, so let’s just fight.

But when Wayne and Artest appeared in the general manager's office to face Walsh, the disappointment on Walsh's face could not be concealed.

Do you think he is deliberately going against Wayne and Artest?

Walsh dares to say that he wishes the best for Wayne and Artest more than anyone else!

Only if they are good can the Pacers' status as a strong force in the Eastern Conference continue and they can chase more championships!

But it’s okay to be so out of control all the time.

Is it reasonable to make something happen every three days?

"You are all mature men, and I don't want to say anything else. In short, don't let it happen again." Walsh wanted to curse, but couldn't, so he said something gentle.

"I didn't do anything..." Tai Tai was so aggrieved that I would be criticized even if I applauded below? The key is that Wayne was really beautiful in that naked choke!

"I'm not talking about you, I was the one who said the wrong thing last time!" Walsh felt like he was going to explode. Wayne was okay, but Artest was so annoying sometimes!

Wayne nodded and walked out of the general manager's office.

He couldn't help but wonder, what would he do if Bird were still around now?

He will first angrily reprimand Bogut for hitting someone with the ball and appeal to the league.

At least externally, Bird wants to face his own family.

Even if you get scolded by Bird again after this, it won't be that uncomfortable to be honest, because at least you know that your own people support you.

Just like last season, although O'Brien and Artest were already at loggerheads, they still had to speak out unanimously when it was time to speak out, and they still had to help the brothers when they needed to, even if they were fighting.

No matter how much trouble you make in private, no matter how unhappy you are, to the outside world, your own people are your own people.

But Walsh…

Wayne didn't think much about it. He and Walsh had no conflict, so there was no need to feel disgusted with himself.

"Hey, the old man is angry again." Artest caught up and smiled, patting Wayne's butt.

Well, this guy is the only one who can laugh now. But don’t tell me, Tai’s silly smile does have some kind of magic.

In the past, Xiao O lost his temper when he saw him giggling, but now Wayne is not so annoyed when he sees him giggling.

"We have to be careful in the future, Ron."

"Yeah."

During the two-game suspension, Wayne went to the scene to cheer for his teammates in every game.

Artest was in excellent form after his return. In the first game against the Bobcats, he made 11 of 18 shots and scored 27 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists.

But in the second game, he was inexplicably sluggish, scoring only 8 points on 4-of-11 shots.

Fortunately, the Bobcats played worse, with the team shooting only 37.6%, so the Pacers did not overturn.

In this way, the Pacers continued their winning streak. Although it was a mess, it was their seventh consecutive victory.

Mosaic on the 20th, Wayne returns again.

When he saw Yao Ming again this time, the expression on his face was even more bitter.

So far, Mosaic has a miserable record of 3 wins and 6 losses.

Why? Because McGrady knelt again!

His back injury comes back and forth. It was fine last season, but it has become more serious this season.

He fell down again just after the season started.

So much so that Yao Ming had to support the team by himself.

The cost is that he has played more than 40 minutes in each game this season more and more often.

Yao Ming: Aren’t we going to win the championship?

Wayne and Yao Ming both looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

In this game, Yao Ming played 42 minutes and scored 24 points and 13 rebounds.

Wayne played 37 minutes and scored 24 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists. The Pacers defeated Mosaic 84-75.

Well, with McGrady absent and the Pacers' lineup intact, they only won by 9 points.

If Yao Ming hadn't finally been unable to play anymore, the outcome of the game would not have been certain.

Walsh frowned, all he could see was Artest's 2-for-10 shooting performance.

"Hey, I lost to you again." After the game, Chairman Yao hugged Wayne, feeling very helpless.

"It's okay, just wait until Tracy comes back."

"Um......"

"By the way, I heard that they offered you the intention to renew the contract in advance?" At this time, Wayne asked casually.

In fact, there is no news on the market that Yao Ming and Mosaic will renew his contract in advance, but Wayne knows that in the original history, Yao Ming renewed his contract with Mosaic in advance at this time.

If the contract is not renewed, Yao Ming will enter the free agent market next summer.

Of course, he's a restricted free agent.

But even so, the Lakers are still fully prepared for Yao Ming.

Because if Yao Ming renews his contract next summer, he is expected to receive an additional salary of about 14 million.

The Lakers believe that Mosaic is not the kind of team that is willing to do whatever it takes to win the championship.

As long as Yao Ming does not renew his contract in advance, even if Mosaic wants to match the contract, it will have to pay a larger price to retain Yao Ming. This is why the Lakers have expectations for Yao Ming.

In fact, at that time, the Lakers were not the only team chasing Yao Ming.

Of course, Yao Ming, who was loyal in the original history, directly renewed his contract with Houston in advance without giving other teams a chance.

Firstly, it is because of loyalty, and secondly, I want to sign for peace of mind.

Because if you are injured during the contract year, you may not be able to renew the contract as good, so it is a more compromise option.

"Hey, the news is quite good. They did mention it, but I didn't agree immediately. I think..."

Yao Ming looked at his teammates, "You have to think carefully about this kind of thing. What, are you recruiting me? Hahahahaha!"

"Me? I don't have the privilege of recruiting stars yet. This season, you must pay attention to protecting yourself, Brother Yao."

"Well, you should work hard, this season... I feel like you guys are in quite a mess."

"Don't worry, Brother Yao, we just look a little messy, but it's actually quite normal, hehe."

After chatting, the two Chinese giants waved goodbye.
