Chapter Eighty-Five: It's Entering the Game Again
Stan Van Gundy was woken up by the sound of a phone call, and what had been a wonderful night had suddenly turned into an eventful mess, and he didn't even know why, except that seven or eight of his disciples had been imprisoned in the local police station in Los Angeles.

"Brawl? How do you brawl, Stan, how do you manage the team! ”
Van Gundy endured the rants of Pat Riley in Miami as he hurriedly rallied all the Heat staff who came with him, including several assistant coaches and trainer George.
The Los Angeles basketball reporters who heard the news immediately exploded, and there were not a few who rushed to the police station overnight to get the first information, and the NBA official website broadcast the news for the first time.
This is actually one thing that disgusts David Stern, but it happens, and it can't be ignored.
When Yang Di and the others were released on bail from the police station by Stan Van Gundy, it was already the morning of the next day, and the big man with a dry nose and swollen eyes lowered his head and followed behind Van Gundy, who was pale, and the atmosphere was extremely cold.
"You've grown so long!"
Van Gundy snorted coldly, and suddenly everyone's heads were lowered, and no one answered his words.
At the same time, after the information appeared on the Internet, it quickly occupied the front page headlines of sports news, and large-scale brawls of the whole team were still rare in this era, especially outside the court, at most individual players participated, and the Heat team became popular all of a sudden, and after some passers-by uploaded the video that was not very clear shot by DVD, Yang Di was also popular.
Previously, it was said that Yang Di has a gangster background, and many fans believe that it is fake, but as soon as the video is uploaded, Yang Di's ability to fight is simply a block of five, flexible steps, fast movements, full of punch force, whip legs are sharp and murderous, how can an ordinary chef be so able to fight?
"This guy is definitely a professional sanda player, and maybe some martial arts skills with him!" Some people engaged in professional sanda and boxing jumped out and pointed out that Yang Di was too "bullying" people.
"So it's true that Grant was concussed by Yang Di before, this guy is simply a violent maniac." Some people immediately jumped out to accuse Yang Di, because this guy is the heaviest of all, and he is simply a street fighter.
The news spread from the basketball sector to the sports category, and then from the sports category to the entertainment category, from Los Angeles to the whole United States, and finally spread across the ocean to China and even the world.
Many basketball commentators and pundits are heartbroken.
"The Heat are on the rise, but they have problems off the court, the locker room is not harmonious, if you want to go further, you have to make corresponding changes, put your focus back on the court, put more energy into training and games, and young people must not destroy their future."
Parents and friends called one after another to inquire.
"I'm fine, I'm really fine!" Yang Di spent a bunch of words to explain.
His fans are more divided, the fans who like him like him more and more, and the fans who hate him hate him even more. A lot of media are waiting to interview Yang Di and the Heat players.
Van Gundy explicitly forbade Yang Di, Caron Butler and others to be interviewed, but instead introduced Wade, a rookie who had just joined the team, to deal with the media, it seems that in Van Gundy's mind, Wade, who has just graduated from college, is a very mature and stable person, much better than Yang Di, who has a bad temper.
Wade said in an interview with the media that it was an accidental fight, but it was by no means a group fight, and there was nothing to say about the Heat players who met die-hard Lakers fans off the court, and then broke out into a verbal altercation.
At this time, Wade was a little embarrassed and embarrassed, but fortunately Yang Di was pushed out.
"He did it."
"Oh no, I mean, Yang Di's kung fu is very good, you know, Chinese kung fu, he can beat at least a group of people by himself, this guy is simply amazing and incredible, in fact, when we had a quarrel, he went out to buy food, and when he came back and saw that we were beaten, he came over to help without saying a word, he is really a good brother, thank you, we all have to thank him."
……
Because he entered the police station again, Yang Di was already full of evil deeds, anyway, his reputation in the circle was completely into the ranks of the wicked.
Fortunately, this time the act can only be regarded as an off-court act, the NBA is not in control, and the team is on a critical trip to the West, Pat Riley clearly instructed Van Gundy to warn, so Wade, Youngdy, Odom and others have escaped a ban.
When he went to Seattle, Van Gundy scolded everyone on the plane.
He angrily didn't arrange tactics, making Yang Di and others self-reflect, and the atmosphere was awkward along the way.
In this case, the next day the supersonic home of the Heat suffered a tragic defeat, the two teams were still on par at halftime, the third quarter of the supersonic played a score of 29-19, the last quarter of the Heat could not be excited, hastily ended the game, and the fighting spirit was low.
Then that night, the whole team took a bus from Seattle to Portland.
Because it was back-to-back games, the Portlanders were at ease and physically superior, and the Heat lost 83-95 to the Portland Bandits led by Rasheed Wallace and Zach Randolph.
After the victory over the Lakers, I didn't expect it to be a two-game losing streak, and the last two games of the Western Conference trip were the Warriors and the Suns.
At this time, the brawl gradually subsided, and the focus of fans returned to the ever-changing NBA game, and in this case, the Heat, who had a day off, challenged the Warriors away.
At this time, the Warriors are building a team with Jason Richardson, a physical third-year student, as the core, and the interior is relying on the excellent interior Eric Dampier of the 96 golden generation, and the team also includes young and talented players such as Mike Dunleavy and Spedy Claxton, which is a youth army in the West.
Although the record is not good, meeting with an equally young team like the Heat still attracts the attention of some young fans.
The Heat narrowly beat the Warriors by 104-100 points.
There was nothing wrong with Yang Di in this game, he played 15 minutes and scored 2 points and 7 rebounds, while Wade and Eddie Jones combined for 50 points, and the outside directly penetrated the Warriors.
That night, I went straight to Phoenix, slept until noon the next day, and trained for two hours in the afternoon.
In the evening, the Heat played against the Suns, at this time the Suns had Stephen Marbury, Joe Johnson and Sean Marion as the lineup on the outside, and Amare Stoudemire as the core on the inside, paired with veteran Scott Williams.
The Heat lost the game 93-99, and Yang Di is not inferior in grabbing rebounds, but on the offensive end, sophomore Stoudemire is obviously much better than him, mid-range shooting, long-range shooting, breakthrough, in addition to low-post offense, Stoudemire's face frame offensive means are very perfect, and he scored 24 points in this game, which is basically above the normal level of his scoring level so far throughout the season.
After five away games, the Heat were exhausted, and the worst thing was that there were two back-to-backs, and even Caron Butler, who had just returned from injury, played one game and one game, and Van Gundy controlled his playing time to be less than 20 minutes.
The crowd left the airport in Phoenix and headed back to Miami, where the week ended and the next game day was two days away against the New Orleans Hornets.
