NBA Building Cardinals

Chapter 97

Watching the excitement and fanning the flames have always respected no national boundaries.

Because the number of fans at the Pistons' home court was really huge at that time, less than an hour passed, and the video recorded on the spot was widely reprinted on the Internet.

Unlike the incident at the American Airlines Arena, people could clearly see in the last incident that the players were only trying to quickly transfer the injured head coach to the hospital.

Therefore, except for some villains who are unreasonable and unforgiving, most people still maintain their reason.

But the Palace of Auburn Hills is different. This video fully records Artest's riot from the auditorium.

Then to being taken off the field, and the Pacers O'Neal and other players had a large-scale conflict with the fans for the second time.

The entire incident was basically fully documented.

In a short period of time, it became known on the Internet, and more and more fans gathered here under the official website of NBA.

Everyone passed it on from mouth to mouth, those who were present and those who were not present, spoke as if they were all there.

And the comments below the entire NBA website are all abuse and accusations.

After all, watching the excitement will never be a big deal.

And Stern, who is at the New York headquarters, is also determined to go his own way this time.

In just one hour, I figured out the ins and outs of the matter.

Before all the team owners came, he was sitting at his desk, carefully watching the game video, and took a pen to record something while watching.

Judging by Stern's appearance, he must have made a lot of determination.

With the abuse and doubts from outside fans, there must have been a meeting within the league, but the content of the meeting is unknown.

.........

June 11, early morning
The league urgently announced its punishment results online at a very fast speed.

After all, the longer this incident drags on, the greater its impact on the league.

However, the outside world spread rumors, and one version after another was passed down. If Stern does not deal with this matter as soon as possible, I am afraid that the entire NBA will really fall into turmoil.

And also because of the American Airlines arena incident, Stern is also handy with this kind of punishment, although this is the last thing he wants to see...

At the end of the announcement, the league stated that the police have been dealt with, and the police are currently looking for the person who threw the bottle at Artest.

And Liu Rui knew that in his previous life, this fan was detained for 30 days and banned from entering the Pistons' home stadium for life.

As for all fans who were injured in this game, all medical expenses will be borne by the league based on the hospital's diagnosis report.

After studying and judging the video, NBA President Stern took a super fast time and made an unprecedented severe punishment.

In the end, the league announced that many players, including Artest, were suspended.

Artest will be banned for the remainder of the 04-05 season.

If the team can enter the playoffs, all games in the playoffs will also be banned.

And stop paying all salaries for this season.

And this punishment is expected to directly bring millions of losses to Artest.

As for Wu Sheng Jackson, not only did he not fight, but he also rushed to the audience to help Artest beat the fans, resulting in extremely bad behavior.

Stern is also determined to give a heavy punishment this time, otherwise it will be difficult to convince the public.

So it was decided to be directly suspended for 50 games! !
O'Neal was an accomplice and had a second conflict with the fans in the player tunnel.

Although the video shows that the old man fell to the ground because of the pushing and shoving among the fans, not O'Neal.

But the conflict that broke out in the player tunnel was indeed caused by O'Neal.

Even though he was hit by a chair thrown from the audience, that's why the later conflict happened.

But Stern, an old man, can't reason with players. He can handle the suspension of the league. Between players and fans, his choice is clear at a glance.

He is very firm about this punishment, vowing to kill chickens and respect monkeys.

So O'Neal was also suspended for 35 games.

The Pacers' Johnson and Reggie Miller each played 3 games;
The Pistons were equally uncomfortable, but compared to the Pacers, they did not conflict with the fans.

But center Ben Wallace, who started the fight, was suspended for 15 games.

Since he was not directly involved in the brawl, he was spared prosecution.

In the whole process, Ben Wallace only shot this time. In fact, according to common sense, it should not be punished with so many suspensions.

At most, it was within ten games, but because he was the fuse of this incident.

And Stern was based on the determination to kill the mistake this time and not let it go, so he was eventually suspended for 15 games.

And Billups, Coleman and Campbell were each suspended for 3 games.

A total of nine players have been banned for nearly 9 games, as well as numerous property damages.

And because after the previous incident at the American Airlines Arena, there have been meetings and discussions in the league.

All teams are required to strengthen their personnel management.

But this time there was still a fight, and it was still so notorious.

Therefore, the league fined the Pacers and the Pistons two clubs of [-] US dollars each.

At the same time, this riot once again sounded the alarm for the alliance's security work.

Following the last incident, the alliance has conducted unified training for the security system.

But in this incident, the entire security system still failed to prevent future troubles in the first place.

This made the league furious, and directly ordered that the security systems of each team in the future must pass the league's unified training and examination before they can start working.

And on a monthly basis, a drill must be conducted, otherwise, he will be dismissed.

For this time, as many as dozens of guards at the Palace of Auburn Hills were fired due to unfavorable security measures.

Afterwards, the three generals of the Pacers: Artest, Jackson and O'Neal were involved in the fight at the Palace of Auburn Hills.

Sentenced to one-year probation each, 60 hours of community service, and a $1000 fine.

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

Likewise, several fans were charged, including those involved in fights, trespassing the field, and throwing chairs.

They joined the brawl after Ben Wallace shoved Artest.

The Pistons also decided to ban these fans from entering the stadium for life.

According to the live video, the fan who was attacked by Artest was not the one who threw the drink at Artest in the first place.

Therefore, for this oolong incident, from medical expenses to compensation, the league announced that it was entirely up to the Pacers to handle it.

As for the fans who were the first to throw objects at Artest, the league has already called the police and will be arrested by the police with full authority.

For this irrational fan, it is also the fundamental fuse of this incident.

It is believed that the police will definitely arrest him in the near future.

And he has to pay the price for what he did...

　Thanks to the Yeweiyang brothers of Yueyinglou for the reward!
