The Fifth Point Guard

The news that the Cavaliers' undefeated golden body was broken did not dominate the headlines for long.

　　 An explosive news swept the screens of major websites.

　　 There was a very bad court fight in the NBA.

　　 On the 19th, the Indiana Pacers challenged the Detroit Pistons in an away game. A brawl broke out between the two sides in the game. What's more frightening was that the battle escalated and expanded to the fans who watched the match. Eventually, a scuffle broke out between players and fans.

　　 The time that happened was when there were 45.9 seconds left in the game, when the defending champion Pistons trailed the Pacers by 15 points.

　　 With the victory already divided, Ron Artest made a very rude foul on Ben Wallace's layup.

　　 Artest was very honest, and immediately raised his hand, indicating that the foul he had just now was just a subconscious mental reflex action, not deliberately.

　　 The referee actually didn't think that the foul just now would cause any disturbances, not to mention the stupid Artest who fouled.

　　 Ordinary people don’t really care about this simple-minded and muscular guy.

　　 But Ben Wallace of the Pistons may be in a bad mood after losing, and he turned his head back and pushed Artest heavily.

　　 If the foul is still a game on the court, Wallace's pushing is completely unnecessary.

　　Insert, the novel app I am using recently, both Android and iPhone support!

　　 Before the referee had time to make a judgment, these hormonal restless guys gathered together.

　　O'Neal, Artest, Jackson and Big Ben, Prince and others all have actions on their hands.

Surprisingly, at this moment when the atmosphere is hot, Rasheed Wallace, who has always been hailed as "Blow up at one point", actually acted as a peacemaker, standing between the two sides, very good Withstood the flames that started on both sides.

　　 To say that Rashid is still a bit deterrent, Artest was also persuaded by other players to return to the court.

　　 Artest lay depressed directly on the referee's bench to calm down.

　　 Just when the flames seemed to fade away, suddenly a cup of drink slammed on Artai's body so deathly.

　　 Artest was in a bad mood at the moment, this throw completely angered Artest.

　　The flame that was about to extinguish met a cup of fuel, and it burned instantly!

　　 Artest jumped up from the referee's stand, rushed directly into the audience, and beat a fan full of "criminal suspicions".

　　 How about Artest’s brain is not very good, because he hit the wrong person completely.

　　 Fans: "Brother, you hit the wrong person, I just passed by and got soy sauce!"

　　 Artest: "I have never died of a wrongdoer."

　　 Fans: "How can I redress the grievances of Du Niang's death?"

　　 Artai: "If you call you a poor mouth, you will hit someone with a poor mouth!"

　　 Artest made a combination of punches, and the fans were beaten enough, but you know, after all, this is the home court of the Indiana Pacers.

　　 The other fans huddled together, pushing and pulling Artest.

　　 Artest is on fire, this is really not a star.

　　 So he fists and fights N hands.

　　 When the Pacers saw how their teammates could be beaten, they rushed to the stands and waved their fists.

　　 O'Neal and Jackson were full of momentum and rushed to the front to help Artest clear the siege, but what they did not expect was that the Indiana fans were so united that more and more fans joined the team that beat them.

　　 So the three people were surrounded by Gai Xin, but due to their strong combat effectiveness, they could barely cope.

　　 The worst thing is Fred Jones. This guy rushed into the team and was directly beaten by the fans.

　　 The scuffle caused the scene to be extremely chaotic.

　　 A large number of police officers rushed into the court, pulling the fighting crowd away.

　　 But Artest has already turned on the bloodthirsty mode, fighting with two fans wearing Pistons jerseys with one enemy and two, and has the upper hand.

　　 At this time, O'Neal suddenly joined in and knocked out one of the fans with a punch. Artest instantly gained the upper hand, and the two fans fled.

　　 At this time, Pistons coach Larry Brown called on the fans to calm down through the stadium broadcast.

　　 Artest returned to the player channel under the leadership of the Pacers staff and police officers.

　　 The Pistons fans are still reluctant, throwing popcorn and beverage bottles of various colors in the aisle before the Pacers enter the player's passage, and there are even some other foods brought into the stadium.

　　 After entering the player passage, Artest stripped off the food, but saw Tinsley on the side eating popcorn and sandwiches on his body with relish, and couldn't help but "rely".

　　Little O'Neal is the most depressed. Other teammates, including the instigator, Artest, were only greeted with food and drink, but he was hit by a chair.

　　 O'Neal, who couldn't help his temper, once again clashed with the fans near the player channel, and was eventually pulled into the player channel by the staff.

　　 In the end, all the Pacers players left the court, but the scene was already in a mess.

　　 At this time, reporters flocked to take pictures of the scene.

　　 The fans with blood, the shocked and confused women, the frightened little fans who are being comforted...

　　 This incident was called the Auburn Hills Palace War incident by the media.

　　 The alliance responded quickly.

　　 NBA Commissioner David Stern made an unprecedented severe punishment after studying and judging the video!

　　 Many players including Artest, O'Neal and others were suspended by the league.

　　 Artest was banned from participating in all the remaining games of the 04-05 season. Jackson was also suspended for 30 games, O'Neal 25 games, and Johnson 5 games.

　　 Pistons center Ben Wallace, who lit the fuze, also failed to avoid the suspension.

　　 Although he did not directly participate in the fight, he was still suspended for 6 games by the league.

　　 Billups, Coleman and Campbell were suspended for one game.

　　 Combining all penalties, this fight resulted in the suspension of 9 players from the two teams for more than 140 games.

　　 At the same time, the riots also sounded a wake-up call to the security work of the Alliance.

　　 Due to the untimely response to this incident and the unfavorable security measures, as many as a dozen guards at the Auburn Hills Palace were fired.

　　 Because of their direct involvement in the fight, Artest, Jackson and Jr. O’Neal were prosecuted and each sentenced to a one-year probation period, 60 hours of community service, and a $250 fine.

　　 In addition, the three of them must also receive anger counseling.

　　 As the saying goes, one slap can't make a sound.

　　 In addition to the players being punished, the fans who participated in the fight were also sued.

　　 mainly refers to those fans who break into the court, throw chairs, and participate in fights.

　　 In the end, the Pistons banned 5 fans from entering the field again to watch the game. According to live video retrospectives, John Green, the beverage-throwing fan who ignited the war twice, was sentenced to 30 days in prison.

　　 The Auburn Hills brawl caused serious damage to the public image of the NBA, and Artest was suspended for 73 games and lost 5 million US dollars.

　　 As for the fan named John Green, after being punished, he even fantasized that Artest could help him lift the ban, and even said that if Artest could help, he was willing to apologize to Artest and invite him to dinner.

　　 To this, Artest responded with only one sentence: I am a fairy!

　　 Although Artest was sternly rejected and sentenced to 30 days in prison, Green still has something to be happy about.

　　 The Pistons officially sent a letter to Green. The letter clearly informed Green that he has been banned by the team from going to the home court to watch the game.

　　 When the media asked him how to deal with this letter, Green, who had no chance to lift the ban, said that he would consider putting the letter in an online auction.

　　 Speaking of it, Green is actually quite unlucky.

The chaotic situation at the scene, even watching the video, it is difficult to find out who threw the beer. However, there is such a coincidence in the world. Green’s neighbor happened to be the Oakland District Attorney Goseka who was responsible for investigating the case. .

　　Before the Auburn Hills incident, Green had been in jail for injuring others, and then he had been drunk and driving.

　　, who had already been listed as a key concern, was immediately recognized by Goseka.

　　 But later this letter sold for $20,000 online.

　　 I don’t know whether this experience is a blessing or a curse for Green.

　　......

　　 The entire process of the Auburn Hills Palace incident is almost like this, but in fact, there are hidden secrets behind this battle.

　　 In the 01-02 season, Rick Carlisle led the Pistons to 50 wins.

　　 In the following 02-03 season, Carlisle led the team to another 50 wins. Although he won the 76ers led by Larry Brown in the playoffs, he was dismissed because of conflicts with the Pistons management.

　　 Carlisle, who was fired, received an olive branch thrown by Larry Bird.

　　 The two were teammates before and had a good relationship, so in the 03-04 season, Carlisle became the coach of the Pacers.

　　 After going to the Pacers, the Pistons have become the Pacers' rivals in the East. The revengeful Carlisle always requires his disciples to do their best when he leads the Pistons.

　　 In the 4 regular season clashes, the Pacers led the Pistons 3-1, but watched the Pistons dominate the playoffs and reached the finals.

　　 Before the start of the finals, Carlisle publicly declared that the Lakers would easily win the championship.

　　 "This is the least suspenseful one."

　　 This sentence makes the Pistons very uncomfortable.

　　 So when the Pistons defeated the Lakers 4-1, Billups talked about his former coach Carlisle in an interview.

　　 "Some people can't do it by themselves, it doesn't mean that others can't. We have proved ourselves, we are a group of the best players."

　　 Billups expressed the view that "Carlisle can't do it" from the side.

　　 This deepens the grudge between Carlisle and the Pistons.

　　Day, not long after the start of the new season, the two teams met, new hatred and old hatred, Carlisle asked the players to play this game with the standards of the playoffs and even the finals before the game.

　　The players of the Pacers were also very upbeat and took a 15-point lead before the end of the game.

　　 In fact, the Pacers can completely replace the main players at this time, because there is no suspense about the victory, but Carlisle did not do so.

　　 He just wanted to see the Pistons humiliated in front of the home audience.

　　 You know, Carlisle has always been suffocated by the Pistons without being fired.

　　 Watching the players go into a melee, Carlisle looked on like an invisible man.

　　 The **** Artest is the puppet connected by Carlisle.

　　 It's just that Carlisle didn't expect that a provocative foul would be exchanged for such and such a war of the century...

　　......

　　 Soon after the fight at the Palace of Auburn Hills, Reggie Miller, once the oldest brother of the Pacers, also expressed his views to reporters.

　　 "If I were on the court, I would definitely stop this kind of behavior. I think the Pacers lack a leader in the dressing room. They must find a veteran to become the spiritual leader of the team and lead this group of young people."

　　 Hearing Miller's serious words, Shen Tong couldn't help but laugh.

　　Because in the last time and space, Reggie Miller, who was still playing for the Pacers at the time, also took action, and even got the penalty of suspension, although there was only one game.

　　 After all, no one has the same knowledge as an "old man".

　　 But as Miller said later, after this fight, the strength of both teams will be affected.

　　 The impact of the Pistons is only short-term, and the impact is limited, but it is different for the Pacers. The suspension of several core players directly sentenced the Pacers to death this season. I don't know how Carlisle feels at this moment.

　　Sometimes, if you are too obsessed with obsession, or obsessed with revenge, you get more hurt.

　　......

　　 The temporary embarrassment of the Pistons and the Pacers' withdrawal from the championship have benefited other teams in the East.

　　 The Wizards of Gilbert Arenas are the biggest beneficiaries.

　　 The nickname of "General" this season deserves it.

　　 In the eight games of the new season, the Wizards have achieved a record of 5 wins and 3 losses, ranking fifth in the East.

Arenas is full of firepower, averaging 25.5 points, 5.0 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 2.0 steals per game, averaging 7 three-pointers per game, and shooting as high as ~www.NovelMTL.com~ After the Pistons and the Pacers, The Wizards behind them got the chance to go over into the upper half.

　　In the new season, the Wizards have also made some gains in the transfer market.

　　 They will trade over Antoine Jamison, who is inconsistent with the Mavericks, and send away Stackhouse and Devin Harris, who have overlapping positions with Hughes.

　　 signed free agent Anthony Peeler of the Kings, free agent Ruffin of the Jazz and free agent Samaki Walker of the Heat.

　　 In addition, they also renewed the contract with the team's main center, Etan Thomas.

　　 In the new season, Thomas will form an inside combination with Kwame Brown.

　　 Arenas, Hughes, and Jamison will become a terrifying attack trio for the Wizards.

　　The data did reflect the terrifying attack power of the three.

　　 In addition to Arenas’ 25.5 points, Hughes also averaged 22 points per game, and Jamison averaged close to .5 points per game.

　　 These three combined averaged 67 points per game, accounting for 70% of the team's total points!

　　 This impressive new wizard is not easy to deal with.

　　......

　　 After being broken by the undefeated gold, the Cavaliers came to the third and final stop of the consecutive away game, Washington.

　　 Tonight, they will be a guest here to challenge Shentong's former teammate, the Washington Wizards led by Arenas.
