Chapter 665: Chapter 474 I Can’t Tell Either_3 Chapter 665: Chapter 474 I Can’t Tell Either_3 After several physical confrontations, Brown failed to gain the upper hand and shouted, “Iraqi, tell me how to say ‘only brute force’ in Arabic.”

Brown’s remark was meant to provoke but inadvertently insulted his opponent.

Calling an Iranian person an Iraqi is like calling a Chinese person Japanese; due to historical reasons, if the person thinks you are saying it deliberately, it would be perceived as a strong insult. Hadadi certainly thought it was intentional, so he threw a punch at Brown.

The self-proclaimed best interior player in the League had started the season poorly and had already received a lot of criticism.

Some said Brown had become too comfortable during his time alongside Big Fei, which intensified his hedonistic attitude.

Because history had already proven he was a man of unfirm will.

Brown couldn’t care less about these people; he indeed had rested for a few months during summer, but considering that he and Big Fei had made it to the finals for four consecutive years, and had to play for Team USA for two of those years, didn’t he deserve a break to slack off?

Hadadi’s sudden punch was an unexpected incident, and the situation was quickly brought under control.

Brown was broken.

He never liked taking these minions seriously, because even if he put on an act for them, there was no sense of achievement–it was too low.

Unexpectedly today, he got beaten up by a minion he looked down upon.

“I’ll give you a call!” Brown yelled angrily, “Let’s settle this off the court, damn it!”

Hadadi didn’t care at all and burst out in sweet Persian.

This was a portrayal of the Supersonics tonight, with many off-script events happening.

Brown and Hadadi were ejected from the game, and DeAndre Jordan, who substituted in, had never played in such an odd tempo and performed poorly.

The Supersonics couldn’t gather their strength; Fei managed to score 35 points solo, but in the end, the Supersonics lost to the Memphis Grizzlies by 6 points.

Afterwards, Karl admitted that he should have repositioned Fei at the point guard when Roy lost control, which could have reactivated the offense.

However, maintaining trust in the core players and not hastily altering the established grand strategy is acceptable in a regular game.

Roy shot 7 out of 20 tonight and took responsibility in front of the media for the loss.

“KD was very efficient tonight; how did you decide on the tactical design, and why didn’t you provide more support for him?”

The question was sharp, but Roy’s answer was very humble: “I’m sorry, I should have done better… no, I must do better, I really should have passed the ball more, it’s my neglect.”

Then, a reporter asked why Fei didn’t take over Roy’s duties during the game.

Fei responded, “Brandon has proven his capabilities over the past two years, one off night doesn’t change that.”

“What if you had taken over Brandon’s duties?”

“I wouldn’t do that,” Fei laughed, “unless he said to me, ‘Please, Frye, I’m crap tonight, please do double the work and clean up this mess for me’!”

Roy replied helplessly, “I swear, I almost said that to him.”

The low pressure in the media room dissipated.

This was just one of the usual defeats in the 82 regular season games.

But George Karl saw something truly special in Roy.

He wasn’t just the team’s glue; he was the only person in the team who Fei truly believed in from the heart.

Fei in Milwaukee had a “my way or the highway” style of play.

He had almost no intention of sharing the ball with anyone.

From this perspective, his decision to leave was a good thing for Granger and the others.

But Karl never expected that Fei would initiate a transition in the Supersonics.

Initially, Karl thought it was Fei seeking a breakthrough.

Last season, Karl also felt that Fei was reducing his shots to train Durant.

Now, he realized he was utterly wrong.

What does Durant amount to? He wasn’t worth such a sacrifice by Big Fei.

If there was only one reason for Big Fei to transform and reduce his shot attempts, it was to coexist with Roy on the court.

It was hard to imagine someone as aloof as Fei being willing to make such concessions for a teammate.

And this precisely showed how special Roy was in his heart.

This might be the biggest good news for the Supersonics.

It showed that there were still people on the court who could reach into Fei’s heart.

Roy could peel back the mask of the imperial master and engage with the real Fei.

Realizing this, Roy’s position in Karl’s heart became even more unshakable.

“What do you think, how many games will Kwame be suspended?”

On the way back to the locker room, Roy suddenly asked.

“You might as well ask how many Iranian-Americans will stand up and protest,” Karl said.

All Fei wanted to know was, “Why can’t he distinguish between Iran and Iraq?”

“If it weren’t for weapons of mass destruction, I’m sure he wouldn’t even know Iraq,” Karl responded.

The League soon announced the results for handling the fighting incident.

Hadadi, who threw the punch first, was suspended for three games and fined 30,000 US Dollars.

Although Brown was only reacting, his words had offended 1.5 million Iranian-Americans. They demanded severe punishment for Brown.

Consequently, Brown was suspended for two games for reacting, then another two games for inappropriate remarks on the court, and additionally one more game for damaging the League’s interests with an inappropriate tweet.

In the end, Brown received three consecutive fines, scoring a suspension for five games and a hefty fine of 100,000 US Dollars.

But Brown did not delete that tweet which resulted in additional penalties.

Because that tweet had already become a trending topic.

“Not distinguishing between Iran and Iraq isn’t my damn fault! #ThisWorldIsCrap, #InteriorLineGOAT, #TheChosenOne’sTopAid”
The replies under this tweet were uniform: “I can’t tell them apart either.”
