Since there is no way to take thunder measures, and David Stern doesn't want to expose it so easily, then the only thing left is a ban. After repeatedly studying the footage of the incident, the league's decision on the punishment of this incident was quickly settled.

For the Timberwolves, Sakovic, who was the first to make a move, was suspended for 30 games. Although he only threw a fist in this incident, as the main person in charge, it is understandable that he was banned for 30 games. The Czechs can now go on vacation, or find a job again, and he will certainly not be in the NBA next year.

Campbell was suspended for eighteen games. When the conflict occurred, although this guy hid very hidden, the footage of punching Anderson and kicking John Salmons was still faithfully recorded by the camera, and it was naturally impossible to escape punishment. Fortunately, the old guy is ready to retire for a long time, and the reason why he is still in the NBA arena is just reluctant to give up the big contract he has now.

Andre Miller has been suspended for seven games. At the time of the clash, although he was still near the halfway line, he rushed unusually bravely, and Billups was beaten twice by him. And after beating Billups, he immediately beat Anderson, who was not self-sufficient. It seems that Iron Man can not only dominate on the court, but also create miracles in the boxing world.

Also banned for three games is James Posey. Although he escaped punishment during the game, he was found out later when he studied the video. Although it was only a flash, the shot of James Posey kicking Daco Milicic in the dark as he rushed to the court from the bench did not escape the eyes of the Knicks.

As soon as the incident happened, the Knicks released the footage. The league was under pressure and could only put James Posey in the audience in the next game.

The New York Knicks also did not escape punishment, although Daco Milicic was beaten badly, but just beating Sarkovic's punch, a 30-game ban is not unjust. What's more, his record doesn't stop there, Campbell and James Posey also failed to escape his punches.

Chris Anderson also served a fifteen-game suspension. Birdman has a criminal record in the Alliance, and if it is more serious, his punishment should be heavier. You know, this guy rushed out of the bench at the time, not only seized the opportunity to kick Campbell's knee, but also gave Jason Collins an over-the-shoulder throw, and then chased Ray Allen all over the field like crazy.

Billups also received a seven-game suspension. To be honest, Chauncy was really a little wronged, and he did persuade Lamar to fight during the fight, but he was punched by Andre Miller, who was red-eyed. Almost instinctively, he pushed the other party, and it was this one that made him also banned from the league.

After the league studied the game footage at the time, John Salmons was also arrested. Although he escaped the referee's punishment for kicking the bitter Campbell, he now has to face the fate of being banned for seven games.

In the end, it was Patrick Ewing who was found out, and the old guy was banned by the league for 3 games, and he is also likely to miss the next playoffs.

It's just that the reason for the gorilla's ban is a bit far-fetched, and although he rushed to the court, he was hugged by Lamar. You must know that the league has a hard and fast rule, and players on the bench cannot leave the bench until the rotation time. So although he didn't participate in the fight, he was also killed by David Stern!

After the punishment was handed down, Lamar was the first to express his strong dissatisfaction: "I think we have been targeted! Throughout the history of the NBA, when has the first game of the finals been held on the home court of the laggards?

"Let's not talk about changing the format, let's take a look at the league's punishment for us! Is this really fair? Anyone who watched the game knew that we were the injured party, and my teammates wanted to defend themselves and protect their brothers. ”

"Patrick and Chauncey shouldn't have been banned in the first place! they're all innocent, and I swear they were all trying to fight at the time, but the league clearly didn't think so. They think all my teammates should be banned, I don't want to say anything, okay! I'll admit it! I'm very upset, that's it!"

At this sensitive time, even Lamar didn't dare to say much.

After five people are suspended, the Knicks now have only nine players left to play in the upcoming games. Forty-eight minutes of a game, relying only on nine people, it is really difficult to persevere, and then physical strength alone will become the biggest stumbling block for the Knicks.

Remaining: Samuel Dampotter (center), Alonzo Mourning (center), Lamar Odom (power forward), Taysha Amplins (small forward), Sean Battier (small forward), Trevo Ariza (small forward), Devon Wade (shooting guard), Sam Cassel (point guard), Jamal Nelson (point guard).

But fortunately, the fate of the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Knicks is not much different, and there are only nine people left. In addition to their physical problems, they are most affected by the small forward position.

After the suspensions of James Posey and Sean Campbell, they no longer have a pure small forward at this position. Given the experience of the tournament, this position is likely to be a major breaking point for the Knicks in the next few games.

Remaining: Ben Wallace (center), Jason Collins (center), Malikroos (power forward), Kevin Garnett (power forward), Witherspoon (power forward), Ray Allen (shooting guard), Arenas (point guard), Wiengarle (shooting guard), Chris Dujon (point guard).

The Los Angeles Timberwolves' headache is the lack of personnel at the small forward position, and the Knicks are worried about the interior problem.

Milicic and Anderson were suspended, and the gorillas were automatically ignored. They were left with only three men on the inside: Dampot, Alonzo Mourning, and Lamar.

Thinking about the Knicks' heyday in the interior staff over the years, and thinking about the current predicament, it is really too late and feng shui takes turns. When has the Knicks, who have always had a lot of troops and deep pockets, when was there a time when no one was available.

But the decision on the penalty is no longer possible to change. In fact, speaking of it this time, the alliance is still merciful. If the league is really serious, there will definitely be more than a few people who will be banned, but I am afraid that the finals will really be canceled at that time.

Since there is no way to change it, then you can only try your best to face it.

In the two days of rest, the hardest work was Coach K and Lamar. The personnel are not in order, and the inside line is even more serious, although there are still three people in name, but Alonzo Morning is still old after all, and it is impossible to play for too long. At that time, the issue of interior rotation alone can bring down the Knicks.

"Otherwise, when the time comes, we will create foul tactics and fight with the opponent? We are tight on the inside, and they are not rich on the outside! Now it's uncertain who they will send to the small forward position, except for Ray Allen and Gilbert, the rest of Chris Dujon and Wiengarle have nothing to fear, if we can beat Ray Allen or Arenas, we have nothing to worry about!"

Lamar thought about it for a long time and made such a suggestion, but looking at Coach K's appearance, it was obvious that this was not the solution.

"We must want to get Phil Jackson's old fox! Speaking of which, the strengths and weaknesses of both of us are all about the same, and the key factor is the physical strength. The intensity of the finals is definitely much greater than usual, and if it is dragged down by then, even if there are subtle tactics, it will not be able to use it. The most important thing we should be thinking about now is how to arrange everyone's playing time, especially the position of the inside power forward, and we have you left. ”

"But fortunately, TayXia and Sean can play this position at critical moments, and when the time comes, Shaun and TayXia can be sent at the same time, plus you, we might as well try to play small ball tactics! Lamar, you may not get too much rest for the next game, you have to be mentally prepared!"

Lamar didn't speak, he knew that Coach K was telling the truth, and he was ready to do his best, but he 。。。。。。

Lamar casually glanced at his knee, and the feeling of discomfort on his knee became stronger and stronger during this time, just to not affect the morale of the team, Lamar never said. He had a hunch in the last game, and knew that if it went on like this, there would be a problem, so he was in such a hurry to end the game as soon as possible, and wanted to wait until the offseason to go to the hospital for a good check-up.

"Lamar, what are you thinking?" Coach K asked suspiciously, seeing that Lamar didn't speak for a long time.

"Oh, nothing!" Lamar shook his head and said, "I see! It's a little worse now, but the Timberwolves are the same as ours, and we're not at a disadvantage overall. I'll leave the game to me, and it's up to you to worry about how to arrange everyone's playing time!"

Coach K nodded and proceeded to the list of researchers.

Lamar saw that he had nothing to do with himself, so he didn't bother Coach K, and withdrew by himself to find the team doctor for physiotherapy!

Three days later, Game 3 was played at Madison Square Garden Arena, home of the New York Knicks.

In the home team's locker room, Coach K held the tactical board and pretended to be relaxed: "Boys, because of the care of the league president, Mr. David Stern, we may be able to put the celebration of winning on our turf." I think we should thank him, after all, it's been so long, and he's finally done a good thing!" 2kReading.com
