171 Heat vs Pistons(1/2)
Li Lei was shocked.
I thought the apartment had a fire or the team was injured again.
As a result, Haslem said again: "It's the Pacers and Pistons, they're in a group!"
It turned out that tonight, there was a strong showdown between the Pacers and the Pistons.
Last season, the two teams fought for six rounds in the Eastern Conference semi-finals, and the Pistons eliminated the Pacers 4-2, which can be said to have an old grudge.
Tonight, the Walkers are determined to take revenge and succeeded.
With 45.9 seconds left in the game, the Pacers led by 15 points.
But at this moment, Damoto took the ball and made a layup.
Artest pounced on and made a very rude foul action.
Da Ben, who lost the game, was in a bad mood and was ignited all at once.
The landed Da Ben rushed over and pushed Artest violently.
The referee on duty was quick-eyed and quick-handed, and immediately stopped the two strong men, stopping a hand-to-hand fight as soon as possible.
Although the players on both sides also pushed, they were not serious and were soon calmed down.
Coach Carlisle then replaced Artest.
Anyway, the win or loss of the game has been decided, so there is no need to keep Atai. If there is a conflict, it will not be cost-effective.
But no one expected that the conflict could not be avoided in the end.
The irritable Atae was unhappy and lay calm on the technical stage.
But suddenly a Detroit fan threw out a drink cup and hit Arte.
Atai could no longer bear it, so he got up, rushed to the stands, and started to do it.
However, Ate hit the wrong person, and the guy who was beaten was actually innocent.
In addition, Detroit's folks are tough and they are not easy to mess with.
A group of Detroit fans flooded Artest instead.
Stephen Jackson immediately rushed up when he saw his brother suffer.
Jackson was so powerful, like a wolf entering a flock of sheep, punching each other.
This is the nickname of "Martial Saint"!
But there were more fans, and the two of them still suffered a loss.
Then, O'Neal Jr. rushed up with a group of people to support Ate and Jackson.
The scene was extremely chaotic.
Later, the police finally arrived and pulled them all away.
However, two more Detroit fans came over to challenge Ate.
Atai, who had long been irrational, rushed over and punched him and knocked him down directly.
The scene was chaotic again.
Then, the Pacers player left the field.
The Detroit fan was reluctant to let go, and a fan smashed O'Neal Jr. with a chair.
O'Neal Jr. rushed up again!
The scene became chaotic for the fourth time.
In the end, after all the Pacers players left the court, nine fans were injured and two others were taken to the hospital.
...
"OMG!"
Haslem watched the video several times, but still couldn't calm down.
Li Lei breathed a sigh and sighed: "The Pacers are finished!"
Haslem: "No, even though you fight hard, you won't be over."
Li Lei smiled: "It doesn't matter how players play. But it's still a large-scale deal when it comes to fans, and the league will definitely take ruthless measures!"
Li Lei and Stern have communicated with each other several times and knows Stern's importance to fans.
Sure enough, the alliance quickly imposed unprecedented severe punishments.
Artest was directly suspended for the entire season!
Jackson banned 30 games!
O'Neal Jr. has 25 games (after reduced to 15 games)!
Johnson 5 games!
Miller 1 game!
6 big game!
Billups, Coleman and Campbell each had one game.
There are 9 players in total, with more than 140 games suspended.
In addition, security was not good, and more than a dozen guards in Auburn Hills Palace were fired.
Then, the fan who smashed Atai with a drink cup was also found.
He is named Green, and has a criminal record.
Green was sentenced to 30 days in prison by the judiciary.
The league also made a decision to ban Green from watching the game at Auburn Mountain Arena for life.
...
The Auburn Palace incident caused an uproar and was a huge impact on the NBA alliance.
It had an extremely bad impact on the league's reputation, and the league management, including David Stern, was in a state of great anxiety.
So, they killed the players and severely punished all the players, security and fans involved.
From then on, the league has been punished with strict and severe punishments for malicious fouls, technical fouls, and fights.
This is a long-term impact.
And the short-term impact is that the Pacers are finished.
Artest was suspended for the entire season, and the Pacers lost the outside gate, the team's second scorer and the team's second in command.
And this is just visible.
What is invisible is that players like Pacers will be targeted by the league.
The Pacers are probably going to be dismantled from top to bottom, from players to coaching staff.
The league will not allow such a group of bandits to continue to stay in the team to play, and maybe something will happen again one day.
This team with a lot of potential championship is gone!
...
Return to the Heat.
In the following three games, the Heat defeated the 76ers, the Trail Blazers and the Hawks one after another.
The Heat ushered in a 6-game winning streak, with a total record of 12 wins and 1 loss, and are still the league leader. It can be said that they are ahead of the crowd and left all other teams behind.
November 26.
The Heat ushered in an important game.
The opponent is the defending champion Detroit Pistons.
Not to mention the grudge between the Heat and the Pistons, the Heat were eliminated 4-1 by the Pistons last season.
And he lost quite badly.
There is also O'Neal's side. In last year's finals, O'Neal's Lakers were also killed 4-1 by the Pistons.
In addition, this season, both teams are favorites to win the championship and are both Eastern teams.
When the two teams meet, it is definitely a collision between Mars and a big battle is inevitable.
Many days before the game, the media was building momentum for this game.
Unfortunately, due to the Auburn Palace incident, Big Ben was suspended for 6 games, and the Heat were facing a broken Pistons.
But even so, the Heat are united and determined to take revenge.
The Heat played away from home first.
O'Neal, Haslem, Li Lei, Jones, Wade.
