Chapter 401: Villa party! Nutrition completely unable to keep up!

Reversal?

Reversal.

Reasonable?

Reasonable.

With the full surveillance footage with audio released, plus everything that happened during the game, all stacked together, everyone could fully understand Su Yan's actions.

Some fans even clapped and cheered.

They believed Artest deserved it, that it was his own fault.

And the reason the league gave a five-game suspension was not because Su Yan did anything wrong, but simply acting according to the consequences.

In one game, five players were beaten to the ground and carried out on stretchers, and furthermore... one player was beaten to the point of lying in the ICU for emergency treatment.

This sounded truly chilling.

And to prove Su Yan's innocence, it was necessary to release the surveillance footage, the bloody fight footage, even with light blurring.

It was still easy to imagine, and the scene was extremely bloody and cruel.

The impact was truly not small.

Although... Su Yan was the injured party and he originally did not want to cause such a result, there was no other way now; the facts had already occurred.

This could not be changed.

If Su Yan had actively started the fight, beaten five people to the ground, had them carried out on stretchers, and beaten one person to the point of needing ICU emergency treatment.

Then.

Su Yan's season might have been over, and his future might have been over too.

But now... Su Yan, who was completely defending himself, only received a 5-game suspension; this punishment was indeed reasonable.

After understanding the truth, fans also supported the NBA's follow-up punishment.

Some fans even felt... innocent Su Yan shouldn't have been suspended for so long; a one-game suspension would have been enough to make a point.

Finally.

Artest's punishment.

As the instigator of the massive brawl between the Bulls and the Pacers involving dozens of people, he would definitely receive the most severe punishment.

How much?

The NBA officially gave him a 18-game suspension, plus a $10,000 fine and 72 hours of community service.

This was the second-longest suspension of the season, second only to the "Madman."

Someone might ask, Artest was also crazily causing trouble and fighting on the court, and after the game, he clashed with Su Yan, affecting an innocent little girl.

Why was the punishment much lighter than the "Madman"?

Yes.

Although Artest's punishment this time was already very heavy, compared to "Madman" Sprewell, it was still quite a bit less.

Why?

Because the nature was different.

Everything Artest did was within the scope of fighting with players; it was in the category of a brawl.

But the Madman, besides fighting with players, also clashed with his coach, rammed into referees, and had other evil acts of inciting others.

These, stacked together, were too egregious.

It was completely challenging the authority of the NBA, and he had to pay the most severe price for it.

Time backtracks slightly.

10:00 AM.

While the whole nation was hotly discussing Su Yan's brawl, the Bulls vs. Pacers game and conflict from last night, and other exciting Christmas Day games.

Su Yan arrived downstairs at the hotel where Xida was staying.

He picked up Xida, and the two headed together to the villa address Pippen had given; about an hour later, they arrived at the designated location.

This was a seaside villa.

The two followed the route to the parking lot outside the villa and parked the car.

Pippen also came over to greet them. Seeing a beauty in front of Su Yan, he couldn't help but be surprised and asked with a smile: "Su, who is this beauty?!"

"My good friend... Xida."

Su Yan introduced her with a smile.

"Hello, Brother Pippen."

Xida greeted him with a smile.

"Hello, hello."

Pippen laughed and nodded, then teased: "Su, are you sure it's a friend, not... a girlfriend?!"

"Not yet, don't talk nonsense."

Su Yan smiled.

Xida also kept smiling and leaned toward Su Yan.

"Hahaha!"

Pippen, an old hand, understood in a second, laughed, and continued to tease, "Not yet? That means... it will be soon."

"Brother Pippen, if you keep doing this, we're leaving."

"Hahaha, alright, alright, no more teasing." Pippen pointed to the road with a smile, "See that? It's right there, go have fun yourselves.

Yao and Chandler have already arrived.

Play however you want, have a good time.

Beauty Xida, don't be reserved either, we are all friends, just have a good time."

"Got it, thank you Brother Pippen."

Xida was very polite.

"Alright~"

Su Yan nodded, held Xida's hand, and the two walked toward the villa together.

Watching their backs, Pippen couldn't help but laugh: "This kid Su Yan usually looks dull, like a romantic idiot.

I didn't expect the girl he chased to be so beautiful.

The kid has good taste, doing quite well!!!"

On Su Yan's side.

The two first passed through a courtyard over ten meters long before seeing the villa's main entrance. After entering, it was a huge space of at least several hundred square meters.

Now.

In the center of the venue were long tables connected together, filled with drinks, fine wine, fruits, and seafood delicacies, dazzling and everything one could wish for.

There was a large swimming pool nearby.

Next to it was a place to rest, and opposite the pool was the ocean. ===== CHAPTER 403 =====
