What a long time to live!
Don't think that NBA players are local tycoons, and some players don't earn much, and once they encounter fines, they will also make players' flesh hurt. Therefore, many superstars in the NBA with huge contracts will take the initiative to pay fines for their teammates in many cases, especially when teammates are fined for him. But have you ever seen a player who pays fines for an opponent, and an opponent who clashes with you?
Embiid is such a player! I have to say that Embiid has done this thing too much!
In previous games between the 76ers and Pelicans, Embiid and the Pelicans clashed with Alvara, resulting in one technical foul each. Alvara is a two-way contract player who doesn't make much money in 1 season. According to NBA regulations, players who eat technical fouls in the first 5 times will be fined $2,000. Alvara said in an interview that he told Embiid he could not afford to pay the fine. Embiid later reached out to Alvara and paid him a fine.
After Alvara broke the news that Embiid had paid himself a fine, the reporter talked about it during an interview with Embiid. Asked why he paid the fine for Alvarado, Embiid said: "I just like his energy, he plays hard, he is very competitive, even if he is blown for a technical foul, he does not back down." All he said was normal garbage talk, nothing more than two guys fighting on the pitch, he didn't flinch, I respect that, I like that with him. ”
Embiid also said Alvara made less money than the rest of the league, and Alvara was because he had eaten technical fouls, so Embiid felt it was his responsibility. Embiid contacted Alvara to help him pay the fine. Embiid wants Alvara to fight and persevere!
"Fat Ding Basketball" believes that Embiid has done this thing is really too angry! Although Embiid is very high-profile on the field and sometimes likes to taunt opponents, there is absolutely nothing to say about character. Simmons got into a fight with the team, and Embiid didn't say anything bad about Simmons. Now that they are taking the initiative to pay fines for players who clash with themselves, how many players in the league can do it? I believe that Alvara will regard Embiid as his true brother in the future!
