Huazi was fined another 50,000 yuan after publicly swearing! Extremely dissatisfied with the punishment + repeated repeated warnings and fined 420,000 yuan 8 times

Edwards was fined $50,000 by the league after publicly swearing! Extremely dissatisfied with the G1 referee's dictation standard + repeated advisors led to Edwards receiving his 8th personal fine this season, and the fines in a single season have accumulated to as much as $420,000.

Officially announced a fine of $50,000

According to the NBA's official announcement, Edwards was fined $50,000 for swearing in a public interview after the G1 game against the Timberwolves.

Edwards was punished from two aspects. The first point is that Edwards himself has been taught repeatedly and has habitually done something out of order.

On the other hand, Edwards was dissatisfied with the call from the West's G1 referee against the Thunder.

Reason 1: Repeatedly coached

This time the call is not Edwards was punished for the first time this season, nor is it the second, nor is it the third time, but the eighth time. Including this time, $50,000, Edwards has been fined $420,000 in a single season.

The first time was 35,000: On November 18, 2024, the Timberwolves defeated the Kings 130-126, and Edwards gave the fans a middle finger;

The second time was 25,000: On December 10, 2024, the Timberwolves defeated the Warriors 107-90, and Edwards sweared in a live broadcast across the United States while cheering for the quarterback of the University of Georgia football team at the University of Georgia football team.

The third time is 75,000: On December 22, 2024, the Timberwolves lost to the Warriors 103-113, and Edwards publicly swears after the game.

The fourth time is 100,000: On December 30, 2024, the Timberwolves defeated the Rockets 113-112, and Hua Zi once again sweared in an interview, and the fine was aggravated due to repeated swearing;

The fifth time is 50,000: On January 12, the Timberwolves lost to the Grizzlies 125-127, and Hua Zi gave the referee the middle finger.

The sixth time was 35,000: On March 2, the Timberwolves were 116-98 Suns, Huazi did not leave the court in time after the game, and threw the ball into the audience;

The seventh time was 50,000: On April 23, the Timberwolves were 117-95 Lakers, Huazi insulted fans + made insulting gestures;

The eighth time was 50,000: After-match interview, he spoke swear words.

It is not difficult to see from this series of fines that Edwards has always been a rebellious player, ignoring the league's norms and rules, and often clashing with fans, referees and opponents and being fined.

Reason 2: Dissatisfied with the referee's call

If Edwards' repeated counseling is the core reason, then dissatisfied with the referee's call when G1 vs. Thunder is the fuse and direct reason for this fine.

G1 Timberwolves lost to the Thunder 88-114. In addition to three-pointers made 15 of 51 shots and coach Fincher's slow on-the-spot adjustment, the referee tightened the verdict's yardstick is one of the core reasons for the Timberwolves' big defeat.

Compared with the Thunder, which has many methods, height and confrontation intensity are one of the few advantages of the Timberwolves in the Western Conference Finals. As a result, the G1 referee clearly tightened the harshness of the harp, forcing the Timberwolves to lower the confrontation and defensive hardness.

Especially after the Timberwolves scored 8-0, Alexander then fined 7 goals in 4 minutes and 22 seconds, directly establishing the starting standard and trend of G1.

Edwards was obviously dissatisfied with this and even threw the ball directly at Alexander who fell to the ground during the game.

Several US media forwarded this clip, teasing Edwards had been fed up with Alexander's "whistle fraud".

In addition, an interesting scene also happened in the public press conference after the game. Edwards showed Randall on the side with the technical statistics, and then the two suddenly couldn't help but smile.

Alexander won 14 free throws in the G1 game, one more time than Edwards and Randall combined.

Kevin O 'Connor, a famous reporter from Yahoo Sports, commented on this incisively.

He said that Alexander did have some fake falls and fraudulent fouls, and the referee should not tolerate or condone him to do so, but the Timberwolves had few free throws because they hardly hit the basket throughout the game, including Edwards.
