20. Was it intentional or coincidence?

On December 3, the league posted an announcement the next day for Timberwolves head coach Luke insulting the referee and making attacks.

It was announced that Timberwolves coach Luke would be fined 35,000 US dollars, but apart from the fine, the league did not suspend Luke.

This situation means that the league regards Luke's attack of throwing aquarius at the referee as an emotional vent.

In this way, receiving two technical fouls on the field and being expelled will be a punishment, so Luke does not need to have an additional ban.

As the league's punishment results were announced, Luke was instantly pushed to the sports hot search.

Because Luke is not only the first coach this season to be expelled from the court by hailing two technical fouls, but also a huge fine of up to $35,000 has also set a record in the NBA history.

Before that, no coach was fined $35,000.

You should know that the NBA has always stipulated that the maximum fine for fighting on the field is US$35,000, and the maximum fine for coaches to contradict the referee is US$25,000.

As a result, the league issued a ticket to head coach Luke directly to $35,000, which was regarded as the same level as the fight, and the highest level.

If nothing unexpected happens, Luke can definitely lead the league in this regard and become a benchmark in the coaching industry.

In addition, Luke's irritable and cruel image also stayed in the minds of fans, because there are many coaches in NBA history who insulted referees, but Luke's whole body is definitely the only one.

If it weren't for Luke's excellent record in leading the team, I'm afraid the Timberwolves management would have to restrain this thorn!

"Lu, are you okay? Kevin isn't too difficult for you." Seeing Luke come out of General Manager McHale's office, assistant coach Raymond stepped forward and asked immediately.

"It's hard for me?"

"No, Kevin just advised me not to be so impulsive in the future, and asked me if I need a few days of vacation to adjust my emotions." Looking at Raymond's nervous look, Luke felt inexplicably.

Raymond: "???"

"Okay, go and prepare for the next game, after all, the good show is still coming." Ignoring Raymond's puzzled expression, Luke, who had assigned the task, returned to his office directly.

……………………

That afternoon, while everyone was paying attention to Luke's incident, another media broke out a hot news.

That is, the vice referee Cloton, who is also on the tip of the rogue, was reportedly robbed. During the fight with the criminals, Cloton was cut by a knife and also had a wound on his abdomen. He is currently being sent to the hospital for treatment.

After the news came out, it immediately exploded in the crowd, and everyone thought of Luke at the first time and associated the two things together.

After all, in the game against the Wizards yesterday, Luke had just had an argument with referee Clorton, but Clorton was robbed by a criminal the next afternoon and was sent to the hospital for a knife injury. This incident made people think deeply.

It is worth mentioning that the media revealed that the referee Cloton was robbed by a criminal, and a fan posted the edited video online.

This video plays the spoken language Luke made to Cloton from the air before he was expelled.

According to the slow broadcast of the video, it is still clear that what Luke said at the time was: "Good luck!"

It is precisely because of this that after Cloton was scratched by the criminal, someone immediately associated the two things together.

And as time goes by, more and more people are beginning to discuss this matter on the Internet.

Some people say that Luke is simply a devil. He just asked someone to go on the street to commit an offense just because he had an argument with the referee on the court.

Some people also said that this matter must be a coincidence, otherwise Luke would not have taken such extreme measures directly after having a dispute with Cloton.

Because this behavior can easily remind people of Luke, there are basically two opinions on the Internet, one is coincidence and the other is revenge from Luke.

However, most people still believe that this was Luke's deliberate revenge. After all, this incident was too coincidental, and the coincidence made people not believe that it was a coincidence at all!

In addition, the huge pressure on the outside world has forced the alliance to intervene in this matter. It is rumored that the alliance has notified the police to start investigating the case.

If the police eventually find out that the case is related to Luke, then Luke is likely to face jail.

But as the league intervened in the investigation, it was finally announced that this was a coincidence and had no connection with head coach Luke.

Because when the police checked all Luke's communication records that day and Luke's series of alibi certificates, this could all clear Luke of suspicion.

So in the end, the league defined this matter as a coincidence. Even though this result made many fans feel dissatisfied, thinking that this coincidence is really nonsense!

…………………………………

"Lu, did you ask someone to do this? Do you know that this is illegal?" He almost rushed into Luke's office, general manager McHale asked angrily and anxiously.

When McHale learned about this, he was shocked.

Because McHale has seen coaches of many years since he worked as a manager, but if this is true, it is the first time he has seen a lunatic like Luke.

Even McHale had thought that if Luke really did this, he would really have to think carefully about whether to continue hiring Luke.

After all, McHale didn't want to face a robbery on the way home after a dispute with Luke one day, and by chance, he was stabbed twice again!

"I made it." Luke said calmly with a look of squeezing the cigarette butts out in the ashtray on the table.

Hearing Luke's uncovered answer, McHale's pupils couldn't help but shrink.

"It was me who asked Raymond to write for me. After all, if this happens, we still have to give an explanation to the management and fans."

"But as far as I know, this kind of thing doesn't seem to be illegal." Luke's face showed a touch of playfulness.

"Fuck! You really want to scare me out of my heart disease. You should know what I was talking about!" I couldn't help but curse, but before McHale could breathe a sigh of relief, his heart rose again.

"If you make a mistake, you have to pay the price." Luke still looked calm.

"so!"

"But I didn't do it this time."

McHale was in a roller coaster and couldn't help sitting on the sofa, then hurriedly drooling in his mouth, then gritted his teeth and lowered his voice. "Can you stop talking half of the time next time?"

"The league has issued an announcement, and you have cleared this matter of suspicion, but this kind of thing is really a coincidence. I guess many fans will not believe it at all."

"But don't be too stressed, okay, I'm not saying this."

"It doesn't look like you are stressed at all." McHale, who stood up and was about to leave, walked to the door and suddenly stopped. "No matter whether you did it this time or not, don't be so impulsive in the future. The boss Glenn admires you very much. He is still waiting for you to bring back a championship for Minnesota."

As McHale left the room, Luke, who was sitting in the office chair, couldn't help but lit another cigarette, and then squinted his eyes slightly in the smokey environment.

Finally, looking at the personal information about Vice Referee Cloton on the computer screen, Luke leaned back slightly, and a sneer appeared on his face.
