Target Center Arena.

The Timberwolves fans who left the stadium one after another, as well as many fans outside the square, were all discussing enthusiastically.

"I didn't expect to lose so badly, it seems that the overall strength of our team this season is really much worse than last season!"

"Not only is Lin gone, Sam and Ratriel are also a year older, and their form has declined significantly, it seems that they must be strengthened as soon as possible, and it is absolutely useless to be responsible for defending the title!"

"Oh my God, a friend of mine in Detroit just called me and said that there was a group fight at Auburn Hills Palace tonight between the Pistons and the Pacers, and the game was directly banned!"

"What's the situation? Pacers and Pistons group fight? That's a lot to see, I've always wanted to know who can fight better, Big Ben or Atay! ”

"Atai is definitely not a match for Big Ben! However, in the case of group fighting, the Pacers are more fierce, not only Atai, but also the 'Martial Saints' Stephen Jackson and Xiao Ao! ”

"I heard it, it seems that Artai and Stephen rushed directly to the technical table, beat up the fans, and directly knocked out the Pistons fans!"

"Atay and Stephen rushed into the stands and beat up the fans? FUCK, players hit fans, this nature is much more serious! ”

"Hurry up and go home and watch YouTube, there are definitely live fans recording videos! Isn't it more fun for players to play fans than watching football? ”

"Although we are all fans, I have to say that the Pistons' home fans are really disgusting and deserve to be beaten!"

"The Pistons and Pacers are both championship-level teams, this group of players is so serious, the players of the two teams will definitely be banned for many games, won't this seriously affect the record, and even hinder the championship!"

"Two strong teams in the East are killing each other, isn't this all cheaper for Lin's Heat? Could it be that God has already arranged that this season is really a championship year for the Heat? ”

Outside the Target Center arena, on a bus that exited the internal passage of the underground parking lot, the Heat players were rushing back to the hotel.

The game against the Timberwolves ended tonight, and the Heat's next away opponent was the Detroit Pistons.

The team will fly to Detroit early tomorrow morning to visit the stormy Auburn Hills Palace Arena.

On the bus, the players of the Heat team were also hotly discussing the group fight between the Pistons and the Pacers tonight, and they were particularly shocked by Atay's violent beating of fans.

"Ron, this guy is really fierce, the fans dare to beat him, I'm afraid this punishment will be very serious!"

"Anyway, Ron must be supported, those fans who have no quality deserve to be beaten, Ron has done something we dare not do!"

"Made, the point is that he still hit the wrong person!"

"Assaulting fans in a live broadcast is so serious that it seriously affects the league, David Stern should hit hard this time, and Ron could bury his entire career!"

Wade frowned, although he had some frustration with Artest in the opening game, and was slapped by the opponent and slapped to the ground, Wade is a fierce general who advocates confrontation,

Also as a player, he expressed concern about Artay's situation.

O'Neill had just hung up the phone with Thunder Miller and had a detailed understanding of the situation.

"This time the situation seems to be very serious, Ron may be banned for a whole season, Xiao Ao and Stephen's plot is also more serious, pity old Reggie, the Pacers are finished this season again!"

Eddie Jones smiled and said to Lin Fei: "Lin, this conflict feels like the G5 game between you and the Timberwolves in the Auburn Hills Palace in the finals, thanks to the fact that the madman and the wolf king were stopped at that time, otherwise the consequences would be much more serious!" ”

O'Neal nodded and said: "Eddie is right, Kevin must be applauded at this point, if Latrill and Kevin both start to beat the fans, then the Timberwolves want to win this championship is basically useless!" ”

Lin Fei shook his head and sighed lightly:

"I originally thought that after the clash in our finals, all teams in the league would be able to be mentally prepared, but I didn't expect Ron to be so impulsive this time, and it would be fun to beat people for a while, which will be troublesome later!"

Haslem put on a gloating look: "The Pacers are banned on a large scale, the Pistons will also be banned, both teams are seriously injured, this team is winning the championship this season, that's a huge benefit!" ”

O'Neill disagreed, and took out the arrogance of his league's No. 1 center:

"If our Heat want to win a championship this season, no team can stop it, not even the full-fledged Pacers and Pistons? Torture them like this! ”

Wade, a young and frivolous second-year, also echoed O'Neal:

"Shaquille is right, since our goal this season is to win the championship, we are definitely not afraid of any challenge, and the Pacers' main team has been banned on a large scale, which may affect the gold content of our championship!"

With tonight's win over the Timberwolves, the Heat started the season with 9 wins and 1 loss, tied for the top spot in the league with the Suns in the West, and even more so in the East.

So both O'Neal and Wade are confident enough, as long as the main team stays healthy, the Heat must be the most favorable contender for the championship this season.

Lin Fei has a different opinion:

"I don't feel like it matters here in the East, even if the Pacers and Pistons are fully healthy, they are not necessarily our opponents, if you want to win the championship, the most difficult thing is the final Finals!"

Wade nodded and said: "Lin, you're right, the overall strength is still higher in the west, do you think the team in the west is the strongest this season?" Spur? Maverick or Sun? ”

Lin Fei replied casually with a smile: "The Suns should be the best Western team in the regular season, and as for the playoffs, it has to be the old guy of the Spurs!" ”

O'Neal's most admired player in the league now has to be Tim Duncan, who excitedly geared up at the thought of playing the Spurs in the Finals:

"Lao Tzu hasn't played Tim's Spurs in the Finals yet, it seems that there is a good chance this season, once I meet him in the Finals, I will definitely blow him up!"

Stan Van Gundy, the head coach sitting in the front row, heard the players bragging, and his voice became serious:

"Now that you've only played 10 games in the new season, you're starting to look forward to the finals and championships?"

"It's quite a long season down, it's impossible to eat a fat man in one go, only by being down-to-earth can you have the last laugh, and the game the day after tomorrow will give me a win for the Pistons!"

Wade chuckled: "The coach is right, but these two away games are quite interesting, one is Lin's old club, and the other is Lin's opponent in the finals last season!" ”

"Lin, play the piston the day after tomorrow, do you have any ideas?"

Lin Fei analyzed it seriously: "Ben was banned for 6 games, the overall defensive level of the Pistons will inevitably be affected, I will score 10 three-pointers, and leave the rest to you!" ”

Listening to Lin Fei's breezy words, the Heat teammates in the bus all laughed.

"Haha, if we can't win against the Pistons, then I'm really sorry for Lin's 10 three-pointers!"

New York.

NBA headquarters, in the executive boardroom.

David Stern sat at the conference table with a solemn face, and a dozen headquarters executives on both sides were urgently discussing the follow-up punishment for the Auburn Hills palace incident, as well as public relations matters.

"The impact of this group beating and fan beating incident at Auburn Hills Palace is very bad, and the image of the league has suffered a huge loss, and all relevant players and fans must be severely punished!"

David Stern is really a little overwhelmed, originally this season with the rise of the Heat and the Suns, the overall ratings of the NBA have also ushered in a lot of climbing,

But at this time, there was a mess again.

However, the Heat and the Suns gave Stern a big surprise, and from the current point of view, the two teams have the first record in the East and West.

If the two teams' records can be maintained until the end of the season, then the Suns' Jr. and Nash, and the Heat's Lin Fei, Wade and O'Neal will also have a chance to compete for the regular season MVP.

In the new season, with Lin Fei's continued strong performance and phenomenal performance in three-point shooting, some influences and changes have occurred in the entire league.

Coupled with the popularity of the Suns' run-and-gun tactics,

Invisibly, all teams have also begun to pay attention to the training of outside three-point points and the improvement of offensive and defensive rhythm.

David Stern is also keenly aware that the NBA quietly seems to be gradually entering a new era.

Faster offensive and defensive rhythms, more points per game, and more flashy run-and-gun tactics are actually what David Stern admires, because he is more conducive to the expansion of the NBA around the world, and it is easier to cultivate a new group of young fans.

On the contrary, it is the Spurs and Pistons type of teams, David Stern does not like them, so the league is obviously more inclined to the Suns and Heat in various policies.

After all, O'Neal and Nash are both veterans in their 30s, and the three young players Xiao Si, Wade and Lin Fei can be said to have a bright future and deserve the care and training of the league.

At the same time, Lin Fei's drive to the fan market of the Celestial Empire is also obvious.

Da Yao successfully opened up the NBA's market in the Celestial Empire, and Lin Fei's birth made the Celestial Empire fan market expand rapidly.

Today, for example, more than 300 million people have watched NBA games on television, the Internet and newspapers.

After rigorous deliberation and investigation, the NBA headquarters also made a final punishment for the Auburn palace incident:

Among them, Pacers main foul Ron Stlast rushed onto the court and beat up fans, and was banned from all games for the rest of the season.

Stephen "The Martial Saint" Jackson was banned for 30 games and O'Neal Jr. for 25 games, while all three were sentenced to a one-year probation period, 60 hours of community service and anger coaching sessions.

Anthony Johnson is suspended for five games and Reggie Miller is for one.

On the Pistons' side, Big Ben was suspended for six games, and three Pistons players including Chauncey Billups were also suspended for one game.

The main culprit who participated in the trouble, John Green, was found to have a criminal record and drunk driving, and was banned from entering any NBA arena to watch the game for life.

From last season's Finals G5 to the current Auburn Hills Palace beating incident, the tension between NBA players and the inadequacy of the league's management system have been fully revealed.

For this reason, David Stern also decided to carry out drastic reforms.

In fact, the impact of the Auburn Hills palace incident on the NBA has outweighed the disadvantages, and fans around the world have not stopped paying attention to the NBA because of Artay's beating of fans.

The incident was more like a deliberate hype that allowed the NBA game to gain more influence around the world.

On the Celestial Empire, the majority of young fans have different opinions about the Auburn Hills palace incident.

"Haven't you heard? That Green who poured beer is a former convict who has been in prison, drunk and drunk, and he is not a good person at first glance, and he should be beaten! ”

"It's a pity that Atai hit the wrong innocent fan, if he really beats Green, then it's cool!"

"These black players in the NBA are really too low-quality, and they have never had a good impression of black people! It seems that racial discrimination is not without reason! ”

"Compared with these black players, my Feige is definitely the best national idol, not only handsome, but also educated, quality and self-cultivation, what else does David Stern praise James, how good is it to directly praise my Feige as the first person in the league?"

"How could a foreign player be allowed to be the first person in the NBA? Besides, Lin Fei is not signing a contract with Nike! ”

"It's okay not to praise Feige and Wade, I feel that Wade is much better than James in the new season!"

Because of the outbreak of the Auburn Hills palace incident, Pistons fans protested en masse against the NBA, and the No. 21 Pistons home game against the Heat, the fans only came to the scene, and the attendance rate was less than 50%.

The entire Auburn Hills Palace Arena became deserted, but Lin Fei's usual ultra-long three-point performance during the pre-game warm-up still made the Pistons fans at the scene can't help but applaud and cheer.

Among them, Lin Fei retreated to the player's tunnel and hit a long-range three-point shot, which made many Pistons female fans sitting on the sidelines scream.

From last season's finals, many Pistons fans have been completely conquered by Lin Fei's three-point shot, although it was Lin Fei who helped the Timberwolves defeat the Pistons.

But after all, the Pistons management also pursued Lin Fei in the offseason, and Pistons fans are also looking forward to Lin Fei coming to the Motor City one day.

Because the Pistons' Big Ben is suspended for 6 games, Chauncey Billups and Rasheed Wallace are also banned for 1 game,

The Pistons have three less Tigers, and the overall strength has naturally shrunk significantly, and the Heat team has won the game easily with no effort.

The Big Three only played the first three quarters, and Lin Fei did what he said, playing 26 minutes in the third quarter, shooting 10 of 12 three-pointers and 4 of 4 free throws, scoring a team-high 34 points, 1 rebound, 2 assists and 3 steals.

"Big Shark" O'Neal gave what he wanted on the inside, even if he played healthily, he still scored 24 points, 13 rebounds and 2 blocks.

Wade had a quasi-triple-double of 23 points, 7 rebounds, 10 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks.

Under Stan Van Gundy's tactical tilt, Eddie Jones also has comprehensive statistics of 21 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists, and Heat management is also actively pushing for a trade for Eddie Jones.

The entire month of November ended quickly, with the Heat starting the season to 15-2.

The only two defeats were on the road, against the Phoenix Suns and the San Antonio Spurs.

The main reason why the Spurs lost this game is that the Spurs coaching staff has made strict arrangements for the defense of Lin Fei, whether it is Bruce Bowen's pursuit or the change of defense after covering, as well as the main pinch passer and passing line.

The Spurs did very well, and after the whole game, Lin Fei only made 6 three-point shots, hit 4 of them, plus 3 free throws, and scored a season-low 15 points in a single game.

Although O'Neal had 32 points and 16 rebounds, Wade's performance was also poor, with only 14 points and 9 assists, so the Heat finally lost to the Spurs 89-102 on the road.

Even so, the Heat's 15-2 record still surpasses the Suns and ranks first in the league.

In 15 games throughout November, the Heat went 13-2 and averaged more than 109 points per game, of which the November averages of the Big Three were:

Shaquille O'Neal: 23.6 points, 12.4 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 2.3 blocks, 0.5 steals.

Dwayne Wade: 25.6 points, 6.0 rebounds, 10.2 assists, 1.9 steals and 1.3 blocks.

Lin Fei: 28.1 points, 0.7 rebounds, 0.4 assists, 0.3 blocks, 2.0 steals.

O'Neal's 12.4 rebounds per game rank third on the rebounding list, behind only the Wolves and Big Ben.

Wade's 10.2 assists per game ranks second on the season's assists list, behind Steve Nash's 11.6.

Lin Fei's average of 28.1 points per game ranks fifth on the scoring list of the season, and the first four gods are Allen Iverson, Kobe Bryant, Nowitzki and James.

You must know that Lin Fei's 28.1 points were placed last season, and he was directly the scoring champion, after all, last season's scoring champion Maddie only averaged 28.0 points per game.

But with the NBA's official Nohandcheck rule, which encourages offense to suppress defensive action, the league's average points per game has also increased significantly.

At the same time, Lin Fei's average of 2 steals per game also ranked fourth on the steals list of the season, tied with Sean Marion.

Among the NBA's official Eastern and Western Player of the Month in November, the Heat team was nominated for the team's Big Three O'Neal, Wade and Lin Fei because of their better record.

Both the Pacers and Pistons have seen their records decline due to the Auburn Hills Palace incident, and the other two nominees for the Eastern Conference Player of the Month are Paul Pearce of the Celtics.

and Allen Iverson of the Philadelphia 76ers.

Iverson's stats exploded, ranking first on the scoring list, averaging a terrifying 31.9 points per game in November, but the team's monthly record was only 10-5, and the record was lagging behind.

Although the Celtics' record in November is 12-3, Paul Pierce's statistics are only 21.8 points and 6.6 rebounds, and the data has suffered losses, which are far inferior to the Heat Big Three.

In the end, the NBA Eastern Conference Player of the Month in November can only be selected among the Heat Big Three O'Neal, Wade and Lin Fei.

Although Lin Fei's average points per game is the highest among the Big Three, the overall data is too biased, except for the top five in the league in scoring and steals, rebounds, assists and blocks are too poor.

In particular, rebounds and assists, which average less than one per game, are in stark contrast to scoring.

On the other hand, O'Neal and Wade, the overall data of the two is very comprehensive.

Therefore, in the end, who should be given to the Heat team for the Eastern Conference of the Month has also caused heated discussions among the relevant NBA judges......
