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 November 19, 2004, the Indiana Pacers challenged the Detroit Pistons in an away game. During the match, a fight broke out between the two sides. What's more frightening was that the battle gradually escalated and the scope expanded to the fans who watched the match. Eventually, a battle between players and fans broke out. The melee.

What happened was when the defending champion Pistons trailed the Pacers by 15 points with 45.9 seconds left in the game.

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 his foul just now was just a subconscious conditioned reflex action of his brain, 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.

Most people don't really care about this simple-minded, muscular guy.

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

If the foul is still the act of playing on the court, then Wallace's pushing is completely unnecessary.

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

O'Neal, Artest, Jackson, 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 "explosion 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 was still a bit deterrent, Artest was also persuaded by other players to go back off the court.

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

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

Artest was in a bad mood at the moment, and 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 and rushed directly into the audience, beating a fan full of "criminal suspicions".

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

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 get justice for Duty Niang's death?"

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

Artest went down with 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, he really doesn't use himself as a star.

So the two fists fight against the N hands.

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

O'Neal and Jackson were full of momentum and rushed to the forefront 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.

As a result, these three people were surrounded by Gai Xin, but due to their strong combat effectiveness, they could barely cope.

The worst was Fred Jones, who rushed into the team and was directly beaten by the fans.

The scuffle resulted in extremely chaotic scenes on the scene.

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 faintly gain the upper hand.

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

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

Artest returned to the players 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 channel, and even some other food to be taken into the stadium.

After entering the player channel, 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 "lean".

O'Neal was 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.

Fans with blood, women in shock and confusion, little fans who are being soothed and frightened...

This incident was referred to by the media as the Battle of Auburn Hills Palace.

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.

The Pistons center Ben Wallace who lit the fuse also failed to avoid the suspension.

Although he was not directly involved 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, the fight resulted in a total of 9 players from the two teams being suspended 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 in 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 brawl, Artest, Jackson, and O'Neill Jr. were prosecuted and each sentenced to a one-year probation period, 60 hours of community service, and a fine of $250.

Let me tell you, the novel app I'm using recently, [\\mi\\mi\\read\\app\\\\] Android and Apple phones support it!

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

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

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

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

In the end, the Pistons banned five fans from entering the field again to watch the game, and according to live video retrospectives, the fan who threw the drink cup 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.

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.

In response to this, Artest’s response was only one sentence: I am a fairy!

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

The Pistons officially sent a letter to Green, which 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 which, Green is actually unlucky enough.

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 this world. Green’s neighbor happened to be the Oakland District Attorney Goseka who was in charge of investigating the case. .

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

He, who had already been listed as the focus of attention, was immediately recognized by Goseka.

However, the letter later 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 still unknown 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 became the Pacers' rivals in the East. Carlisle, who is eager for revenge, always asks 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 reach 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 beat 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 grievance between Carlisle and the Pistons.

On November 19th, shortly after the start of the new season, the two teams met, new hatred and old hatred, and Carlisle asked his players to play the game according to the standards of the playoffs and even the finals before the game.

The Pacers players were also very uplifting 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 outcome, but Carlisle did not do so.

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

You know, Carlisle has been suffocating a bad temper because of being dismissed by the Pistons.

Watching the players get into a melee, Carlisle looked on as an invisible man.

The **** Artest is the puppet connected in Carlisle's hands.

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

......

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

"If I were there, I would definitely stop such 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 these young people."

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

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

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

However, 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 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 harm instead.

......

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

The Wizards of Gilbert Arenas are the biggest beneficiaries~www.ltnovel.com~ The nickname of "General" this season is well deserved.

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 36.5%.

After the Pistons and the Pacers battle, the Wizards behind them got a chance to go into the upper half.

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

They traded Antoine Jamison, who was dissatisfied with the Mavericks, and sent away Stackhouse and Devin Harris, who had overlapping positions with Hughes.

Signed the Kings free agent Anthony Peeler, the Jazz free agent Ruffin and the Heat's free agent Samaki Walker and other Titans.

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

In the new season, Thomas and Kwame Brown will form the inside team of the Wizards.

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's 25.5 points, Hughes also averaged 22 points per game, and Jamison averaged 19.5 points close to 20 points per game.

Together, these three people averaged up to 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 unbeaten gold, the Cavaliers came to the third and final stop in a row of away games, Washington.

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