The NBA punished the players of the Boston Celtics and the Grizzlies very heavily, although some players such as Maddie were only banned for one game and some were given light sentences, judging from the video, his plot is similar to James Posey, the main crime is that he fought with the Grizzlies players and did not participate in the beating of fans, after all, this is the home court, according to the general punishment, it is normal to be banned for three games like James Posey, as for Xiao Ao and Jackson, it is a bit heavy, Although Xiao Ao accidentally hit some Boston Celtics fans in addition to the Grizzlies players fighting, after all, it was impossible to have no physical contact in that chaotic time, but it was precisely because of this that Xiao Ao was judged to be a level higher than James Posey and Maddie in the plot, as for Jackson, it was even heavier, except for the player who pushed Carter, the fuse that provoked the incident, the other plots were similar to Xiao O, although he was brought to the Celtics fans in the group brawl with the Grizzlies players, But the plot is not serious, and even in the end the Celtics fans did not accuse him, in this case, even considering that he was the fuse, it should be enough in 10 games.\\

However, it is clear that the NBA league and David Stern are very angry about this disgrace to the NBA, and at the same time they have burned a lot of anger on Jackson, and it makes sense to sentence Jackson in this situation.

However, compared to the Celtics, the Grizzlies are even more tragic. The team's starting small forward Artest is reimbursed for the season, although he sometimes short-circuits, but he is indeed an indispensable player for the Grizzlies, he is Carter's guarantee that he can put all or most of his energy on the offensive end, with Artest's protection, Carter and the Grizzlies' energy, especially the ability on the offensive end, can be sustainable and efficient. And Rasheed Wallace is suspended for 30 games, which means he can't play for the team until around the All-Star level, and in this case, the Grizzlies are not only missing an interior barrier. is also missing an interior offensive fulcrum, Rasheed Wallace is the Grizzlies' No. 2 man on the offensive end, and it is precisely because of his containment on the interior that other teams cannot put all their strength on Carter when facing the Grizzlies. In terms of team strategy, he's definitely the team's No. 2 man, and with the 15-game suspensions of Billups and Ben Wallace, the Grizzlies will have a tough time in the next month or two.

After this penalty came out, many people were secretly having fun, this penalty list for the Grizzlies, the defending champion, will make the team lose its competitiveness in the regular season, now no one thinks that the Grizzlies, who are missing the four main players, can continue to be in the top five in the league with Carter alone, and now the only thing the Grizzlies can look forward to is in the next 15 or even 30 games, and the Grizzlies can ensure that they are in the top half of the division, and it is good not to fall on the edge of the playoffs. Many teams in the NBA are definitely very competitive in terms of strength, especially in the East, which is much more competitive than in previous years. Of course, if the Grizzlies can survive the next month or two until the other three starters come back, the team will still be the top team in the league without Artest, and one of the most favorable contenders for the championship.

For grizzly bears. This penalty has kept them away from the race for the first place in the regular season, and for the Boston Celtics, although they have maintained a winning streak, they are only one win ahead of the Wizards in the second place in the East, and a win or loss in one game can change the whole situation.

Even many people have predicted. In the next game, the Boston Celtics host the Knicks on Dec. 1 and cost the team the No. 1 spot in the East.

"We're going to get back what we lost at Coach Z at Boston's North Shore Garden, and it's impossible for the Celtics to play against us without Maddie, without O'Neal, without Posey."

Even before the New York Knicks and Boston Celtics game began, the New York Times deliberately published on its front page the history of Coach Z's slaughter of the New York Knicks in the past few years, which made many New York fans who had forgotten some games remember the team's tragic experience in the past, and at the same time, it also once again aroused the anger of these New York Knicks fans and the morale of the Knicks players.

It can be said that the New York Times's behavior of almost exposing itself is very correct, at least uniting all of itself together, and at the same time, while listing all the tragic memories, it is also preparing to use this game to slaughter the Boston Celtics and Coach Z, and then completely wash away these memories.

For them, there is basically no suspense in this game between the New York Knicks and the Boston Celtics, the Boston Celtics four leaders were banned from three at once, in this case, if the New York Knicks still lose, head coach Dunleavy can commit suicide, and after the failure at the beginning of the season, the performance of the New York Knicks in recent times is actually very good, and the last six games have won 4 games, which has also ignited some playoff hopes for many Knicks fans.

Even rejecting New York media reports, the general manager of the New York Knicks, Dolan Jr., also personally came out to watch the away game between the Knicks and the Boston Celtics, and it is obvious that the general manager of the Knicks is also preparing to humiliate Zhuang Fei in revenge for the previous bitter hatred.

Now public opinion in the United States is very chaotic and mixed, and the focus has been on the Grizzlies and the Celtics, so at this time, Zhuang Fei also ordered all the Boston Celtics players not to speak in the media, so the Boston Celtics have been very quiet in recent times, no matter how noisy it is outside, no one has come out to respond to anything.

On December 1, 2002, at the North Shore Garden Arena in Boston, when the TV camera swept around the arena, there was an extremely strange phenomenon, because in the former North Shore Gardens were a sea of green, except for the Boston Celtics fans, it was basically impossible for the fans of the visiting team to appear, in fact, the home court of most teams in the NBA is like this, the NBA regular season is too frequent, and few fans follow the team to the away game like a football game, unless it is a game like the Los Angeles derby, This is only possible when the two teams are very close to each other.

And in this game, there were a large number of New York Knicks fans at the home of the Boston Celtics, and it was a square team, if it was just a visual inspection, at least 3,000 people, for a basketball court that can only accommodate 20,000 people, the lineup of 3,000 people is already very large.

"How did these people get tickets," Zhuang Fei and the Boston Celtics players came to the court, and they were stunned when they saw this group of Knicks fans who were booing him.

Zhuang Fei's preparation for this game is very sufficient, in fact, after the team and the Grizzlies game ended, Zhuang Fei was already thinking about the team's next lineup, but even so, the ban of four absolute main players by a team still made Zhuang Fei feel that his team was a little untidy.

The starting lineup of the Boston Celtics in this game is center Yao Ming, big forward Kirilenko, small forward Prince, scoring guard Arenas, and the organizational guard is the veteran Anderson, the veteran Anderson has played less than 5 minutes per game this season, and he also had to wear the starting lineup in this game.

On the Knicks side, playmaking guard Charlie Ward, scoring guard Alan Houston, small forward Sprewell, power forward Dunleavy Jr. and center Odom.

When Zhuang Fei saw this lineup, Zhuang Fei was a little speechless, this Knicks is too underestimated to look down on the current Boston Celtics, according to Dunleavy's meaning, they are ready to kill the Boston Celtics directly on the road, the small lineup is mainly offensive-oriented, and in their opinion, after the Boston Celtics lost three outside cores, there was a huge fault in the outside ability of the Celtics.

In fact, Dunleavy's idea is not wrong, the New York Knicks have always been strong on their outside, and this game Boston let the veteran Anderson start to know that this team is indeed a serious fault on the outside.

Therefore, Zhuang Fei couldn't help but admire Dunleavy's gamble after a short period of speechlessness, every famous coach in the NBA is not so easy to deal with.

The Boston Celtics played very hard in this game, in fact, the strategy of the New York Knicks in this game was extremely correct, and the outside line of the Boston Celtics in this game was basically penetrated by the Knicks' five starters who were all outside lineups, this is this game The New York Knicks want to win too much and want to win beautifully, so they completely give up the height of the inside line, and the Boston Celtics are relying on Yao Ming's play to barely maintain the close point difference.

The game was played from the beginning until the end of the fourth quarter with absolute parity, and when the game went into overtime, the New York Knicks' desperate approach changed when Yao Ming laid down their lineup axis Odom.

It would have been a dangerous move for Odom to defend Yao Ming, and when Odom was gone, the Boston Celtics defeated the Knicks 119-116 in the second overtime, while also maintaining the team's winning streak.

And when the game ended, the Knicks' general manager Dowland Jr. scolded the court when he left, and Zhuang Fei's words in the post-game interview, "They can never beat me", became one of the classic images in the hearts of all fans. (To be continued)
