The Warriors fans booed, whistled, and cursed, and a few radical fans tried to rush onto the court, but the security at the scene was good enough to stop the crazy fans.
But the clashes on the field did not stop.
Draymond Green began to fight back, and he hit An Xi in the chest with a backhand hook, which made An Xi snort.
Anxi had already punched Draymond Green three or four times in a row, and after being punched back by Drummond Green, his heart was even more angry, and the guilt of provoking the brawl in the first place was also swept away, and he directly squeezed his fist with his right hand and swept towards Draymond Green.
Drummond Green's face began to distort to the naked eye, and then, a line of blood burst out of his nose, and he saw red!
Not far away, the 76ers and other players of the Warriors also made their moves, and they pushed each other, and the scene was extremely chaotic.
At this time, several commentators in the commentary booth were also excited, this is a rare scene, the NBA, which is committed to civilized games, has never allowed such fights and brawls to appear on the NBA arena, once someone does it, the NBA will immediately warn with heavy penalties, so, since the 21st century, there has only been a brawl between the Auburn Hills Palace and the Madison Square Garden Arena of the Nuggets and the Knicks in 2006.
Such a rare fight and brawl occurred, the neutral fans on the scene and in front of the TV were extremely excited, and the fans who had watched the NBA for several years shouted wonderful, and finally saw the excitement.
On the field, the referee took a few steps slower, belatedly when Draymond Green saw the red, and with the help of other players and on-site staff, he pulled Anxi and Draymond Green away first.
So, the boxing match between the two was also divided, Anxi was punched by Draymond Green, but he punched Draymond Green four or five times, and he was beaten to blood.
Therefore, the final result is that Anxi wins.
But the boxing tournament is over, and soon it's time to settle the bill.
On the 76ers' side, Anxi made the first move, followed by Jack Leod and Noren Snoll, and on the Warriors' side, the protagonist Draymond Green was naturally in it, and in addition to him, Andrew Boggart and Andre Iguodala also joined.
As a result, the referee kept whistling and blowing technical fouls one by one, and Anxi, Jack Crowder, Nolens Knowle, and Draymond Green, Andrew Boggett, and Andre Iguodala on the Warriors' side were all ejected.
Anxi quickly walked in the players' tunnel, the team's press officer Matt Lewis followed behind Anxi, guarding Anxi, and the fans on both sides kept cursing, but fortunately, under the control of the on-site security personnel, the fans on the sidelines did not appear aggressive.
An Xi left the scene safely, and at this time, he also calmed down.
This expulsion is the first time since Anxi joined the NBA that he left the court early due to non-competitive factors, but Anxi did not regret throwing punches at Draymond Green at that moment.
Anxi is not an ordinary NBA player now, he is now a star player, a superstar player in the NBA, and even to put it mildly, Anxi is now the top name in the NBA.
Therefore, many times, Anxi has to face all kinds of big moves by the opposing defensive players, such as Blake Griffin, who entered the league at the beginning of the year, all kinds of flying dunks, but in recent years, Blake Griffin's flying dunks have also decreased a lot, because every time he flies a dunk, Blake Griffin is deducted at the risk of being maliciously fouled by the opponent.
Although Anxi doesn't dunk much, most of them are middle-distance singles, but it is not excluded that there will be opponents who use malicious actions to deal with him.
And after throwing punches at Draymond Green this time, no player will dare to do anything to Anxi in the future.
But now, what Anxi needs to worry about is the ban punishment after this game.
As far as Anxi knows, after Carmelo Anthony got into a fight in 2006, the league imposed a 15-game ban on him.
As the signature star of the league, Anxi threw his fists this time, and the punishment of the ban is indispensable, if you add the injuries of Pau Gasol and McCarvey, Anxi can't imagine what kind of situation the 76ers' record will fall in the next month or so.
But there is nothing to be done, it has happened, and everything is a foregone conclusion.
Such a vicious incident occurred in this game with the Warriors, and the 76ers and the Warriors were also concluded.
After Anxi and they left, the game on the field was also very hot, the referee whistled again and again, and it was a wonderful game, but after a fight, it was blown to pieces by the referee.
However, because the 76ers lost the team's main battle, Anxi, the final result of the game was that the Warriors relied on the efforts of Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson to overtake the score in the second half, take the lead, and finally win the game.
The battle for the top spot in the East and West turned into a farce, with the Warriors winning the game, but because of Draymond Green's manless moves, they didn't win the game honorably.
Of course, winning is winning, and the record of the 76ers and the Warriors has become a consistent 20-3, but the Warriors are ranked first in the league by virtue of their record advantage over each other, that is, the Warriors have won this battle for the first place in the league.
The Warriors took the top spot in the league, but after the game, there was a lot of disturbance.
On the day of the game, the league's top brass urgently assembled, held a meeting, and asked staff to call the two teams and make harsh criticisms.
Adam Xiaohua, president of the league, is very concerned about this brawl, and he is very angry, after all, this brawl is the first time such a vicious incident has occurred in Adam Xiaohua's tenure, and Adam Xiaohua, who has been committed to the development of a civilized NBA, is obviously going to deal heavily with this brawl.
If the NBA wants to achieve greater success overseas, building a civilized league is the inevitable way.
It's a pity that most players in the league don't understand, many players who join the league are born on the streets, fights and brawls are commonplace, and basketball games are so advocating physical confrontation, and it is not difficult to understand that the two sides fight a little carelessly.
The only thing that surprised and angered Adam Shaw was that the 76ers and the Warriors, the two teams that currently represent the image of the league, would actually fight in the game, and Anxi, who has always been in people's minds, would actually be the first to act.
This is a very serious matter, both teams have fans all over the world, Anxi has gradually grown into the league's top star, and the impact of this brawl is unprecedented. Idols fight on the field, for children, this is a big damage to the image, not to mention that many parents are unwilling to see children learn from idols.
Therefore, Adam Shaw wanted to severely punish the players involved in this fight.
But on the other hand, Adam Shaw has to consider the impact of the ban on Anxi, after all, if the league bans Anxi for too long, Anxi is likely to withdraw from the competition for major regular season awards and honors, and the 76ers' record is likely to plummet.
Don't underestimate the ban of more than a dozen games, once Anxi misses these dozen games, Wang Anxi, the data of the regular season, will not be able to participate in the competition, and Anxi will not be able to participate in the competition for awards such as MVP and Dpoy in the regular season, in short, the impact is great.
Adam Xiaohua wants to build Anxi as another Michael Jordan, Anxi himself is also very powerful, and has played a phenomenal individual performance so far this season, if he can continue to win the championship, plus win the regular season MVP and other awards, surpassing Michael Jordan is not a dream at all.
Therefore, from the bottom of his heart, Adam Xiaohua didn't want to deal with Anxi strictly.
Adam Xiaohua had a headache all night, and several other high-level officials of the alliance discussed it all night, and finally came up with two sets of plans.
One set of strict punishment shows the determination of the alliance, and the other set is to deal with it lightly, but increasing the punishment in other aspects can be regarded as a warning to future generations.
The one that is dealt with strictly, Anxi will be banned for 20 games, and Draymond Green will be banned even more, he will be banned for 23 games, after all, Draymond Green is the one who provokes trouble.
Adam Xiaohua looked at this strict treatment plan and frowned, he felt that the ban was too much, so he turned his head and looked at the plan for lenient treatment.
"To Anxi: 5 game bans and a fine of 100,000 US dollars; Draymond Green: 8-game ban and $150,000 fine. ā
Banned for 5 games, Adam Xiaohua felt that it was a bit too much, so at this moment, Adam Xiaohua really fell into a dilemma.
No one knew what choice Adam Shaw made in the end, until the next day, the league announced the punishment decision for the oracle brawl in time.
The league announced that Draymond Green will be banned for 20 games for provoking the entire brawl for kicking action, and for other players of the Warriors, Andrew Boggart and Andre Iguodala who participated in the brawl were banned for 8 and 5 games respectively, and of course, there are certain fines, of which Draymond Green directly fined 200,000 US dollars, for him, a player who is still receiving a second-round rookie contract salary, 200,000 US dollars is enough for Draymond Green to feel distressed for a while.
Because Draymond Green first provoked the incident with malicious actions, after the punishment was announced, the Warriors immediately announced that they would cooperate with the league to complete the punishment of Draymond Green, and the team would not help Draymond Green pay the fine.
And the punishment of the 76ers was also announced at the same time.
The league announced that Anxi was the first to make the move, so he will be banned for 17 games and fined $200,000.
Jack Crowder and Noren Snoll, who participated in the brawl, were also banned for 10 and 5 games, respectively.
Anxi was banned for 17 games, and when he first saw this number, many people were shocked, including Anxi.
The 17-game ban means that Anxi will miss more than a month of play, and the highlight of the Christmas game on December 25 will not be able to participate, which still has a great impact on the league. Many people think that Adam Xiaohua is too tough, and he actually disregarded the influence of Anxi and directly dealt with this fight and brawl incident strictly.
Including Anxi thinks so, Anxi even thinks that if he is banned for 17 games, if he is really banned for so many games, even if Anxi plays a phenomenal individual performance in the regular season this season, he will not be able to compete for major awards and honors.
Therefore, as soon as the ban punishment was released, Anxi's mood was a little bad.
It's just that Anxi is a quiet person in life, he didn't complain about anything, and silently put this unhappiness in his heart.
On the other hand, Draymond Green looked very irritable after accepting the punishment, he himself is a player who is not good at controlling himself, facing the punishment of a 20-game ban, and Draymond Green, who was just about to do a big job in the new season, was immediately unhappy, and lost his temper in the training gym, which finally attracted Steve Kerr's anger.
And on social networking sites, celebrities have also begun to criticize the brawl, especially Draymond Green.
"An ugly brawl, both sides of the brawl are about to lose the face of the Union!" Larry Nand, once the Cleveland Cavaliers' celebrity, tweeted with two disgusting emojis at the end.
There is also Magic Johnson, who directly began to criticize Draymond Green: "Draymond Green's kicking action should not appear on the field, Anxi was forced to fight back, in this brawl, Anxi is the real victim, and Draymond Green is a villain, he should reflect on himself." ā
Magic Johnson bluntly said that Anxi was innocent, obviously, Draymond Green's kicking and ruining action, even these 20th century celebrities, are a little unsightly.
In contrast, Charles Barkley is more objective: "Draymond Green's ugly kicking action sparked the whole brawl, but Anxi's counterattack also seemed a little more impulsive, and both men needed to reflect on themselves. ā
Mingsu's opinion is roughly the same, Draymond Green made a big mistake, Anxi was impulsive at best, and there was nothing wrong with it overall.
The views of the fans are similar, and even the domestic fans have begun to scold Draymond Green one-sidedly, after all, the current Anxi is the pride of the Chinese people, and Draymond Green actually wants to abolish Anxi, such a phenomenon is absolutely unwilling to be seen by domestic fans.
At this time, just when Anxi was feeling depressed about the ban, he received a phone call.
The caller ID was "BlackMamba", An Xi smiled and answered the phone.
"Hey, Bryant, is there anything wrong with calling me? Are you here to make fun of me? ā
"Haha, I haven't made fun of you yet, how's your recovery? Can you still fight? ā
As soon as they came up, the two attacked each other, but soon, Kobe Bryant mentioned the main topic of his call.
"Hey, Ann, stop kidding, I ask you, what do you think about the 17-game ban?"
At this time, An Xi also knew that he had to tell the truth.
"What an opinion, oh no, of course it's too much! That's too much! ā
Kobe Bryant on the other end of the phone snapped his fingers: "So I'm here to teach you!" Here's how to cut back on the number of bans! ā
