To avoid more unpredictable variables, the final four minutes of the Bucks-Pistons game was canceled.

The league decided to take the final score as the result of the game.

The final result was a 23-point loss to the Bucks at home.

It's just that the result of the game no longer matters.

The chaos at the palace in Auburn Hills, where Sprewell stormed the audience and choked the fans, spread like a virus to the world in less than an hour.

It's reminiscent of the punch that landed on Rudy Tomjanovic in 1978, the first time the NBA has entered the mainstream for the first time since its inception, albeit in a negative way. Then, Magic contracted HIV in 1991, and the NBA once again swept the nation with a scandal. This was followed by Jordan's retirement in 1993, and although it wasn't a scandal, it just told the mainstream media that Jordan retired and that the NBA was no longer as noteworthy as it used to be. Then came the shutdown of 1999 and the Eagle County events in the summer of 2003.

As you can see, every time the NBA enters the mainstream eye, there is generally a terrible scandal.

And this time the scandal coincides with the age of the Internet, and its influence will far exceed that of the past.

In that video, which is less than ten minutes long, one will see Sprewell and Big Ben fighting each other, with Horry finishing Hamilton like Hogan, Yu Fei first helping Sprewell beat Big Ben, and then punching Prince (this part of the previous chapter has been changed), Haslem trying to help but being stopped by Rashid Wallace, the "incarnation of reason", and then the conflict subsides. Until a glass of Coke with ice cubes smashed on Sprewell's head.

Like a tiger entering a flock, Sprewell rushed into the audience and grabbed a man by the neck.

Then, Horry and Haslem realize that the situation is out of control and have tried to keep people under control in the past, but there is more than one Detroit who likes to be cheap, and somehow, Haslem and Horry get beaten in the crowd, and then they go into "I'm going to kill Nima" mode.

The most bizarre part of the whole process is Ray Allen.

It can be said that the brawl started because of him.

Sprewell did it for him and Ben Wallace, and then there was this series of crazy things.

And Ray Allen didn't do anything after he found out about Brawl.

He didn't go to help, he didn't fight, he didn't get involved in the brawl, he just stood there and watched like an outsider until the situation calmed down.

In the end, security guards entered the court, pulled people away, and the game ended early, and the Bucks players crossed the players' tunnel under the various throws of the Detroiters.

Ray Allen was the last man to run through the players' tunnel.

He tries to keep up with the group, but finds himself drifting away from the crowd.

"Spree, you shouldn't have done it." When Ray Allen caught up with the group, he shouted at Sprewell, "You're in big trouble!" ”

Sprewell was like hearing the most ridiculous joke: "I'm in big trouble?" Do you need to tell me about this? It's you! What did you just do? Who do you think I'm in trouble for? Who am I for? Tell me, who am I doing this for?! ”

Ray Allen doesn't fight is the consensus within the Bucks.

Carl almost traded him for this, and then everyone had a heart-to-heart conversation in the locker room before a settlement was reached.

But a few years have passed, and the situation has changed.

Sprewell is deeply involved in contract renewal issues, and he certainly knows to keep himself in check, not to do anything, and any scandal will make it difficult for him to renew his contract.

However, it is impossible for him to remain indifferent to the bullying of his teammates. He spends more time with his team-mates than his family every season, and when it comes to this kind of thing, he has to stand up for it, which has been his philosophy of survival on the pitch since he was a child.

Except for Ray Allen, everyone else did it.

The problem is that the one who is least qualified to stay out of the situation is precisely Ray Allen, who chooses to stay out of the situation.

Ray Allen's choice to sit on the sidelines certainly gave him a moment of peace, but he was accompanied by a long period of unease and the alienation of his teammates.

Yu Fei sat silently in the locker room.

Sprewell locked the throat of fans in public, for the league, it is food and clothing, no matter how heavy the penalty is, it is not too much.

Not to mention that Horry and Haslem persuaded them to intervene, and they will also be heavily fined.

As for Ray Allen. Yu Fei didn't know whether to admire this guy's calmness or despise this guy's cowardice.

How did he hold back?

It's better for you to pretend to be fighting than to stand still.

Now that it's like this, Yu Fei doesn't know how he should face the other teammates in the future.

That night, Yu Fei returned to the hotel and met Carl.

"Fry, I told you." "Ray is such a person," Carr said. ”

Yu Fei said flatly: "I don't blame him. ”

This was an answer that Carl didn't expect.

The aftermath of this brawl was enough to tear the Bucks apart, and now, let alone pursuing a three-peat, they can recover from it next season.

Sprewell will certainly be punished severely, Horry and Haslem will also be heavily punished, Ray Allen has lost the respect and support of his teammates, and he will definitely not stay in a contract year where he will either be traded or test the free market next summer.

Carl wasn't really sure if Yu Fei had a future in Milwaukee.

"We all know he's that kind of person, and so does Spree." Yu Fei said, "He won't do it for us on the field, it's something we all agreed to, and now he's just doing what we all know he's going to do." ”

Karl smiled bitterly, "You are calmer than I thought. ”

"No, I'm not calm at all." Yu Fei said, "I want to kill everyone on the Pistons, but this kind of thing can only be thought about."

Then, Yu flew away.

Carl looked at Yu Fei's back and was fascinated, and after a long time, he shook his head.

Triple crown. For him, it may be the only chance in his life, but it was taken away because of a terrible farce.

Yu Fei is too young, and in the past three years, he has won everything that a player can win, so he naturally will not be as unwilling and painful as Karl.

Carl believes that Yu Fei will have a chance to sprint for three consecutive championships in the future, but what about himself?

The next day, the media gave a variety of comments about last night's Auburn Hills brawl.

The two parties involved also spoke out in interviews to defend themselves.

Yu Fei said something for Sprewell: "If I sat alone and someone smashed a Coke with ice cubes on my head from behind, I think I would do the same thing." ”

Sprewell said he was only defending himself.

Larry Brown said: "Nobody hurts anyone towards the end of the game, so something unusual definitely happened last night. ”

"If you watch the game, you know who's been holding back the anger, and it's Detroit that is really stirring the scene, but right now, all the headlines around the world are pictures of Sprewell, which is really unfair!" Carl fired directly at the Pistons, but to no avail.

No matter what kind of words, they are not as impactful as the photos of Sprewell choking the necks of fans.

At ten o'clock in the morning, the league announced the decision on the handling of the Auburn Hills Smash Bros.

Ratriel Sprewell was banned for one year and charged with minor assault and battery.

Robert Horry is suspended for 30 games and is also charged with minor assault and battery.

Udonis Haslem is suspended for 30 matches and charged with the same charges.

Christian Leitner took advantage of the chaos to attack Billups, and he ran off the bench, and the crime was added to the first degree, and he was suspended for 15 games.

Yu Fei was banned for 8 games.

For the Pistons, Ben Wallace is suspended for eight games, Chauncey Billups is suspended for five games, Tyshawn Prince is suspended for three games, and Eldon Campbell and Derrick Coleman are each suspended for one game.

Fans who threw Cokes at Sprewell were permanently barred from entering the Palace of Auburn Hills.

When the coalition announced its decision, a reporter asked the spokesman: "Is Ray Allen, who provoked the world war, innocent?" ”

"He didn't do anything." "Penalty decisions are made only for those who do it," the spokesman said. ”

Many of the Bucks' players are coming up on vacation.

Although involuntary.

The league wants to minimize the impact of the situation, but with a star like Yu Fei involved, it is destined to be remembered deeply.

A few days later, the world ushered in the last month of 2004.

The Bucks once again handed Yu Fei an early contract extension.

They believe that in this special period, a contract with a maximum salary that is not mixed with water can make Da Fei grateful.

But when Yu Fei got this contract, his first question was: "Did Spree renew his contract?" ”

Harris Jr.'s expression changed slightly, and he said, "No, Fry, Spree's career is over. ”

"What do you mean?" Yu Fei asked, "Explain." ”

It's over, a veteran like him, if he doesn't play for a year, only God knows how he will be in the game next year. Even if he wanted to make a comeback, no team would be willing to sign him, and what he did at Auburn Hills Palace only proves that he has never changed. ”

"You mean, if you watch your teammate being bullied on the field, you won't stand up for him?" Yu Fei asked coldly, "You mean, if someone hits you from behind, you won't defend yourself?" ”

"Fry, these are two different things."

"Then I'll tell you what's the same thing."

Yu Fei said in a simple, rough, and direct way: "I will only renew the contract if Spree renews the contract." If you doubt my determination on this matter, then we can wait and see, I'm not going to sign a contract extension, I can sign a qualification offer next summer and leave. Of course, you can also trade him, and then you can also trade me, so that you can minimize your losses. ”

"Fry, it's nowhere near this!"

"If Spree can't play here next year, that's where it gets to me though."

Yu Fei looked at little Harris unwaveringly.

"If you can't give a decent pension contract to someone who can stand up for his teammates at all times, I don't know what else to play for a team like this."

As a result, the Bucks finally knew how determined Yu Fei was to keep Sprewell.

But this matter is not for Harris Jr. to decide.

"I'll tell my boss about it, and when the time comes, he'll make a decision."

"I can wait."

Yu Fei's second contract extension negotiations with the Bucks are over.

This incident had a great impact on the people in the flying camp.

They thought that Yu Fei would cut off Sprewell after making such a scandal, but they didn't expect Da Fei to stand firmly with the madman.

Lawson said it was a sign of morality.

Instead, Tim Grover has some extra thoughts.

Just when he was alone with Yu Fei, he spoke: "Fry, do you know Charles Oakley?" ”

Yu Fei asked, "Why did you suddenly mention him?" ”

"When the Bulls traded Oak, MJ was aggressively against it, but he couldn't prevent it from happening." "That was the beginning of his feud with Jerry Krauss." ”

Yu Fei didn't know why he suddenly brought it up.

"MJ wasn't angry because he lost Oak, but because his words didn't work with management." Grover laughed, "Do you want to test whether what you say works because you support Spree so much, or is it really for the so-called righteous anger?" ”

Yu Fei was silent for a while.

Lawson came back with some food on hand.

"Is this important?" Yu Feidao, "No matter what, I will let Spree sign the pension contract, as long as this happens, it is enough." ”

Grover watched Yu Fei take a chicken sandwich from Lawson, and no longer cared about what had just happened.

This reminded him of Yu Fei's various performances when he was a wizard.

It is difficult to say whether Yu Fei and Jordan are incompatible because he is not used to Jordan's style, or because they are repulsive of the same sex.

At least one thing is for sure, Jordan still left an indelible mark on the young man in the end.

The powerful wizard Jordan gave Yu Fei a glimpse of what kind of power a player can have.

That's the example Jordan left behind.

But thinking back to Jordan during the Bulls period, his voice is actually far less powerful than Yu Fei now.

He can't keep Oakley, and he can't decide who will be selected in the draft.

If even Jordan is just fighting for Oakley and Klaus, can Yu Fei really gamble his reputation and future for Sprewell?

The answer is clear at a glance.

Grover believes that Yu Fei will not do that, but why does he believe that the Bucks will do what he wants?

Grover's choice to stay on the sidelines is an interesting thing to do and perhaps make up for the gap he had before he became Jordan's trainer.

Then, the Bucks had a rough time.

Although Yu Fei is only banned for eight games, there are also Sprewell and Horry and others who have been banned for a long time, and the Bucks have been seriously injured.

Another problem Ray Allen faces as the temporary absolute core of the team is that no one sees him as a core.

He was isolated.
