Chapter 623: The Efforts Didn't Work Out
Fights on the court are not new, whether it is the CBA or the NBA, there have been many incidents.
Most of the aftermath was a fine, suspension.
The NBA is known for its high-intensity confrontations, and there have been many very serious brawls in its history.
Among them, the most severe punishment is estimated to be the Auburn Hills palace incident.
It was 2004, when the Pistons hosted last year's Eastern Conference Finals opponents, the Pacers.
With 45.9 seconds left in the game, the Pistons trailed the Pacers by 15 points.
Artest of the Pacers drew a foul on Ben Wallace, which appeared to be a bit rude.
The game was about to be lost, Ben Wallace's mood was not good, and he was rudely fouled at this time, so he couldn't help but push Artest hard, which caused a violent conflict between the players on both sides.
After the scene was brought under control, Artest was persuaded to return to the field and lie down on the referee's bench to calm down.
Just when the anger of the players of the two teams had not dissipated, a fan suddenly threw a drink cup at Artest lying on the referee's seat.
This completely angered Artest, and he rushed to the crowd and beat up what he thought was the spectator, and many players from both sides and the spectators were involved in the fight.
The scene was extremely chaotic, and finally a large number of police officers had to be called to rush into the stadium, which opened the crowd of people who were fighting.
But it wasn't over yet, and then there was a large-scale clash near the passage, in which a total of nine fans were injured and two were taken to hospital.
After the game, the TV left three shots, one of the fans still bleeding, one of the stunned and confused women, and the other of the frightened young fans who were being soothed.
In the end, this extremely serious brawl was punished with the harshest punishment in the history of the NBA.
Artest was suspended from all of the remaining games of the 04-05 season, totaling 73 regular season games and 13 playoff games, and also had his salary suspended, which equates to a total loss of $4.995 million.
In addition to Artest, the Pacers have a 30-game suspension from Stephen Jackson, O'Neal Jr. 25 (later reduced to 15), Johnson 5 and Miller 1.
And the Pistons' side Ben?? Wallace was suspended for six games, and Billups, Coleman and Campbell were suspended for one.
Combined, a total of nine players were banned for more than 140 games.
After this incident, the Pacers were devastated by the Pacers, Miller retired, Artest was sent to the Kings, Jackson became a league vagabond, and O'Neal Jr. was no longer as brave as he used to be.
The Pacers, who originally had the hope of hitting the championship, were torn apart by a brawl.
It can be said that the fight was cool for a while, and the crematorium afterwards.
It is not uncommon to be short-tempered and aggressive on the court, and it is easy to make low-level mistakes or even lose your mind, which leads to the suspension of the game.
Li Huan belongs to the kind of person who is relatively calm on the court although he is young, and he knows that no matter whether he wins or loses in a fight, he will be beaten with 30 boards afterwards.
Of course, this does not mean that Li Huan has no blood, if someone really deliberately bullies him, he will not be soft, but most of the time he will still choose to restrain rationally.
After the two sides had this contradiction, the fight on the field became more intense.
Hu did not play this autumn because of a muscle strain, and Guangxia was held by Su Ruoyu and Borosis on the inside, while Fortson did not start this time, and Sun Minghui played point guard.
It was also Son's first playoff start.
Sun Minghui once won a CBA slam dunk contest championship, his bounce and speed are okay, and he was also selected for the national team.
This time, the Xinjiang provincial team defended so toughly, which was also a rare experience for him.
Throughout the first quarter, both sides played very tightly, resulting in a low shooting percentage for both teams.
The main scoring point on the Xinjiang provincial team is Felder, and the Guangxi side is Li Huan.
Felder deserves to have experienced the war in the NBA, and in the face of high pressure, he can also shoot.
And Li Huan is the kind of person who is strong when he is strong, and in himself, he is a person who is focused on defense in the second half of the regular season and the playoffs, so the intensity has not increased much, and the impact on him is minimal.
In the first quarter, Li Huan almost took most of the points and frequently walked to the free throw line.
If you defend too tightly, there will be more physical contact, and if you have more physical contact, there will be more fouls.
Abdul Salamu received three fouls in the first quarter, two of which were on Li Huan's hands.
Felder also fouled twice, Kelan Baike twice, Fan Ziming twice, it can be said that the Xinjiang Provincial Team paid a huge price to contain Li Huan.
And Li Huan still scored 16 points, and the Guangxia team also scored the lowest 23 points in the first quarter this season.
The score of the Xinjiang provincial team was not as good as that of the Guangxia team, with only 19 points.
Such a sluggish score at the beginning of the game shows how much effort both sides spend on defense.
Offense is the best defense.
In so many previous games, Guangxia basically scored more than 120 points per game, and many opponents also scored more than 100 points.
The main reason is that Guangxia's attack is fast-paced, and if the score is fast, the opponent will get more attacks, so that both teams will score more points.
High-intensity physical confrontation is extremely physically demanding, and when the second quarter came back, although Xinjiang Province changed two players, replaced by big foreign players Stokes and Li Gen, but if they still defend like in the first quarter, it is estimated that they themselves will not be able to bear it.
So naturally, in the second quarter, the defensive intensity of both sides dropped slightly.
Especially the people who defend Li Huan, they are tired enough, and they don't know how many meters they have to run back and forth in a game.
There was a discussion about whether it was basketball or football.
Some people understand that the football field is big, and it needs to run so many distances, so it must be that football is tired.
In fact, this statement is one-sided, mainly because football is relatively regional, and the range is large, and sometimes it can be adjusted by jogging.
The basketball court is so big, there are only 5 people, and the speed of going back and forth is fast, what is needed is to keep running back and forth, so it is difficult to compare which basketball or football is more tired, it should be said that they are both tired.
In the second quarter, Li Huan rose strongly and hit frequently, as if he had entered an invincible ZONE state again.
Although the three outside of the Xinjiang Provincial Team kept trying to interfere with Li Huan and repeatedly fouled, they only gave Li Huan a free throw or a better goal.
Li Huan scored 25 points in the second quarter, which happened to be the score of the entire Xinjiang Provincial team.
Throughout the second quarter, the Guangxia team completely opened, and the rest of the players also scored one after another, scoring a total of 38 points.
The Xinjiang Provincial team's shooting rate has also improved compared to the first quarter, and the score has also been higher, but compared with Guangxia, the gap is too obvious.
At halftime, the Xinjiang Provincial team trailed the Guangxia team by 17 points at 44:61.
The 17-point difference means that the previous efforts of the Xinjiang Provincial team did not work, and the second half will be even more severe for them.
