Chapter 111: [Are You Worried About LeBron James]
The Auburn Hills palace was in shambles, but sports fans across the country were excited.
This scene is so hot.
The two Wallace brothers had color on their faces, blood flowed, Artest and Stephen Jackson's clothes were torn, little O'Neal's eye sockets were swollen, and the corners of Prince's mouth were crooked.
There are also some other players involved in the scuffle, and you can't tell if they're fighting or fighting.
All in all, the atmosphere has come to this point, it's not too much for him to kick in the chaos, right?
It took a lot of effort for the three referees to separate each other with the help of security personnel, and the coaches of both sides ran to the front line of the battle, constantly emphasizing calmness!
But how can you calm down?
Ben Wallace had already been pulled to the technical table, but he roared and roared to rush over to kill Atay, and he looked very hideous covered in blood. But surrounded by several people, he didn't break through.
Artest wasn't afraid, but his bones ached.
He was crushed by Ben Wallace and scuffled, but he didn't get much favor, but Ben Wallace was punched in the nose, and the fracture was badly bleeding.
Seeing that both sides were separated, the referee blew the whistle and sent off Rasheed Wallace, Ben Wallace, Prince, Stephen Jackson, O'Neal Jr., Artest and Tony Barty all at once.
Tony Barty is a little wronged, he's like a big shady spring. When he rushed onto the field, the fight was almost over, and when he raised his leg and was about to kick down, he was caught by the referee.
It didn't kick anyone,
However, based on his actions. And last season's Auburn Hills Palace Battle 'Record', he was sent off.
When exiting the game, in the players' tunnel, the four Pacers players were baptized with all kinds of popcorn and beer by the fans on the spot. Someone else smashed them with their baseball caps, and when Atay was smashed, he picked up his hat and threw it back, causing a lot of commotion.
But under the escort of the security personnel, he finally made it through.
Suhi watched dumbfounded in front of the TV.
Scarlett was waiting in the bathroom, and she couldn't help but urge, "Hey, Jack, what are you doing?" ”
"It's bleeding," Sushi said.
"I know, why don't you hurry up?" Scarlett said.
Oh.
Su Xi suddenly realized, and he quickly went to Scarlett's bag to rummage through it.
…
The brawl at Auburn's palace quickly made headlines and became the NBA's most exciting image of the season.
The effect of a basketball game playing a fighting game is still a group fight mode.
Many fans who watched the game were hooked.
But the die-hard fans on both sides are a little worried, the fight is cool, but what about the cool?
David Stern, who is now a big advocate for NBA globalization and bringing basketball to middle-class families, will not allow this kind of brutal and barbaric things to happen in the NBA. He will surely issue an epic ticket for this epic brutal brawl.
How many games will they be suspended?
Considering that these two teams have a history last season, the league will certainly not allow this blood feud to continue to increase and expand, and will definitely take the most severe punishment.
A few main forces participating in the war, twenty starts? Or thirty starts?
And whether it's 20 games or 30 games, this will structurally affect the regular season pattern in the East.
After the game, both Rick Carlisle and Larry Brown declined to comment on the brawl.
When it comes to possible subsequent bans, they are also tight-lipped.
Obviously, they're all trying to cool down.
No matter how much resentment there is, you have to wait for the official conclusion.
It is worth mentioning that the Pacers won this game.
The final score was 81:73.
Although the Pacers lost four players, the bench was still slightly more deep than the Pistons. The Pistons lost two Wallace and Prince, and the interior defense was essentially gone.
With this victory, the Pacers came to the first place in the East.
But at this moment, everyone knows that the first place in the east has lost its meaning.
The happiest person in the entire East right now should be the Miami Heat, the first and second place are fighting, and the third place is of course the happiest.
That night, Carlisle called Sushi and said, "It's a good thing you didn't come to Detroit tonight, otherwise our season would have really ended." ”
Suxi was very sorry, and he said, "Maybe if I come, there will be a completely different result." ”
"Nope. When you're on the court, you're going to fight. Carlisle was adamant: "It's inevitable. ”
"Then your task becomes daunting."
Carlisle said.
Suhi nodded.
…
The next afternoon, the NBA officially issued the largest fine in history. Ron Artest was banned for 35 games and fined $50,000. Ben Wallace was suspended for 25 games and fined $50,000. Rasheed Wallace and Stephen Jackson were banned for 20 games and fined $30,000. Jermaine O'Neal and Tappen Springs were suspended for 15 games and fined $20,000. Tony Barty is suspended for one match.
This penalty was issued, and Tony Barty was wronged. "It feels like I'm wanted, but the bounty is only $5."
"It means that I didn't do much."
"You didn't think of me as a person."
Tony Barty complained so much from Larry Bird's office.
This diluted the originally serious atmosphere in the office, and everyone couldn't help but laugh out loud.
It seems that this is the truth.
"Why don't I help you apply to David Stern and have him give you a 50-game ban?" Larry Bird glared, and he said angrily.
Tony Barty realizes the seriousness of the matter, he keeps his mouth shut, and everyone stops laughing.
Seeing Larry Bird's gloomy look, Suxi was relieved: "Actually, it's not a big deal. They can all return at the end of the season, just in time for the brothers to rest for a while and recuperate from old injuries. In the playoffs, go all out to win the championship. ”
'I'm sure no team will be willing to touch us in April next year.
Suhey's words had an effect, and Larry Bird thought about it, and felt that it was not as terrible as he imagined. With Suhi here, the Pacers must have no problem guaranteeing a playoff spot, doesn't he just want to practice his individual singles skills this season? No, here's your chance.
"Jack, it's time to prove that you're leading the team alone." Larry Bird patted Suhee on the shoulder: "Come on!" ”
…
When the result of this punishment came out, everyone was not surprised, and it was within the scope of imagination.
For these players, these penalties are very serious. Because not only do they have to pay fines, but they also have no pay for the number of games they are suspended. This is bound to give them a long memory and make them understand that fighting comes at a cost.
However, in comparison.
The Pistons' 'punishment effect' is more pronounced.
Their loss of Rasheed Wallace, Ben Wallace, and Prince means that the Pistons' record will decline all the way, and although there are only two dozen games, it will take a run-in to return to the team, which may lead to them not getting home-court advantage in the first round of the playoffs.
On the Pacers' side, although there is a lack of four main players, the core Suhi is still there, although Suhi has been criticized by many people, saying that his success is based on the overall roster of the Pacers.
However, as long as he is still around, the Pacers will not have much problem maintaining a certain win rate in the East, and there will be no systematic tactical collapse like the Pistons.
Most importantly, because of Suhey's relationship. The Pacers have a lot of influence in the Asian market, especially in Chinese mainland, although they have fights, which is negative news. But there are still many manufacturers who throw olive branches to them and invite them to endorse.
It's like last year's Protector Tony Bhatty.
Although there are losses in the economic aspect, at least they will not be like the Pistons three, the gains outweigh the losses.
This Auburn Hills palace brawl was just a 'broken tendon' for the Pacers, but it was a 'broken bone' for the Pistons.
Moreover, the Pacers themselves have no intention of pursuing results this season, and Sushi now has more freedom and can start his iron life more freely.
…
In the first game after the Battle of Auburn Hills Palace, the Pacers' opponent was the Minnesota Timberwolves.
The Timberwolves topped the Western Conference regular season last year and reached the Western Conference Finals, and this season's roster has not changed much, and the strength is still strong. Occasionally, there was news of Sprewell's high cost of supporting his family, and everyone didn't take it seriously.
In this game, Sushi was on fire.
He made a total of 31 shots, a career-high for him. The main defense of his Prewell was a little unexpected, but the defense of the madman was still good, and he was very compatible with the wolf king Garnett, and they teamed up to create a lot of defensive pressure on Suhey.
Sushi hit 17 times, hit 14 of them, and scored 35 points.
The efficiency is not very high, but it is also decent.
On top of that, Suhi actually helped the team win.
Because he didn't play alone in the second half of the final quarter, he has already gained 1 super offensive talent under the Timberwolves' strong defensive system.
He suddenly picked up speed and changed his style of play to focus on passing.
Reggie Miller was very powerful, hitting three three-pointers in a row, and the hot hand directly nailed the Timberwolves to death.
119:113。
The Pacers came out on top to win the game.
This is a great relief for Indiana fans. They originally thought that the team would be doomed if they lost four big players.
Unexpectedly, Suxi actually led this remnant formation to defeat the powerful Timberwolves.
The statistics of 35 points, 8 assists, 7 rebounds and 3 steals are even more superstar level.
This came as a surprise to those who claimed that Sushi was standing on the shoulders of giants.
After beating the Timberwolves, the Pacers head to Chicago and then to Cleveland.
In Chicago, the Pacers lost the game.
The Bulls are now the worst of the bad teams, and they are a bunch of young people. Hinrich took Ben Gordon, Lore Deng and Eddie Curry and a group of young men to beat them up.
But the walker didn't resist.
Because Su Xi also fought with them blindly, the Pacers can't play serious tactics now, just simple passing and cutting, and the tacit understanding of rapid offense has not yet been fully formed.
The Bulls' defense really can't put any pressure on Suhi, and Sushi can't absorb the factors that make the super offensive talent evolve.
His interest was not so strong.
In addition, his offensive moves are decent, and the efficiency is decent.
So, the bulls had the upper hand. At the last moment, the physical strength of the Pacers' side also did not keep up, and the substitute player was suddenly promoted to the starter, and the physical reserve has not been fully converted.
The Bulls just won the game.
Of course, no one cares about the outcome of this game.
People are more concerned about the matchup in the next game.
The fateful showdown between the chosen sons, LeBron James and Susie the sheep, is the first time the two have faced each other this season.
Although Suxi is far ahead of her peers in the hard honor area.
Including James, the Chosen One.
However, the American media still likes to compare Sushi and James, and there is a faint commotion to elevate James's line. After all, James is his own person, and his talent seems to be particularly strong, although Suxi's talent is also strong now, but the size and visual impact of the two, James has more advantages.
People who engage in sports in the United States like James.
Previously, they were all saying that the reason why James is not as honorable as Suhi is because the team behind Suhi is better, and the overall strength of the Pacers is better than that of the Cleveland Cavaliers.
But now, with Artay, Jackson, and O'Neal Jr. not returning from suspension, the lineups of the two teams are theoretically about the same.
Suhee and James were on the same page.
In this way, their contrast is even more pronounced.
Those basketball pundits also believe that the Cavaliers have a better chance of winning.
Including James also felt that this was a good opportunity for him to be ashamed. After the Auburn Hills palace brawl, he immediately organized a team building within the team, and his goal was to play this game.
He asked his teammates to give their all in this match, to stick together with him, and he was going to win against Suhi.
Everyone knows how strong James's obsession with Suxi is, James can be said to have been living in the shadow of Suxi for the past year, and the back of the Chosen One has long been covered with Suxi's haze.
Moreover, the current Cavaliers have completely returned to their hearts. Unlike last season, everyone agrees that James is the only supreme leader of the team and is closely rally around him.
Therefore, they all responded, and everyone said that they would follow James's pace, turn their guns on Indiana, and shoot Susie the Sheep and his team off the horse!
James is very satisfied with everyone's statement, this is like a normal team.
How can a team have two hearts?
There are no two suns in the sky yet.
There is only one chosen one in the world, and that is me, LeBron James.
James is confident in the upcoming matches.
Suhee was visibly stunned when asked this question on his return to Cleveland. "Did I ever think I'd be beaten by LeBron James in this game?"
"What's the problem? Why should I think about this? I'm the MVP of the finals, I'm the Olympic gold medalist. ”
Sushi blurted out a rhetorical question.
As soon as these two hard honors came out, the Cleveland reporter was a little crazy: "I think you say this because you're afraid of LeBron, and you finally don't have such a good team around you now, so you're worried about being exposed." ”
"It's good if you're happy."
Suhi waved her hand, ignoring the reporter's boring question.
