Chapter 57 The Incident at the Palace of Auburn Hills

The Lakers players rushed to Ye Heping excitedly and gathered around to revel.

There is nothing more exciting than winning a lore game after a full game.

The Suns were a little frustrated, but Nash still hugged Kobe gracefully, praised Ye Heping, and then turned and left.

As for Xiaosi, he gave Ye Heping a hard look and left without looking back.

Ye Heping smiled, and he didn't bother to argue with Xiao Si.Winning is the most important thing. If Stoudemire dares to make trouble in the future, Ye Heping will welcome him.

Hands, a little itchy!
本场比赛，科比拿下29分11篮板10助攻的华丽三双，但是33投10中的手感令人发指。

Fortunately, the teammates are relatively strong.

巴特勒21分6篮板，奥多姆18分15篮板3助攻，阿特金斯14分3篮板，叶和平12分6篮板1助攻3抢断2盖帽。

On the side of the sun:

斯塔德迈尔33分14篮板2助攻2盖帽，马里昂27分15篮板4盖帽，纳什18分16助攻，乔·约翰逊17分5篮板，理查德森只有5分5篮板。

The main players played very well, but the three substitutes (Jacobson, Hunter, Barbosa) played a combined 40 minutes and only scored 6 points.

The main force of the German handsome dead grass is really using the main force as an animal.

To be honest, it was difficult for the Lakers to win this game. If it weren't for Stoudemire's confusion at the last moment, it would be hard to say who will win.

This Suns team is really strong, and the Lakers tried many times to no avail.

Anti-Nash, others broke out.Against others, Nash broke out.The Lakers failed to find an effective strategy from start to finish.

In the next game, as the Suns continue to run in, the battle between the Lakers and the Suns in the same district will inevitably be more difficult.

At this time, the Lakers' record reached 8 wins and 2 losses, which is an excellent record.

Kobe's gorgeous triple-double is also an excellent gimmick. After all, it is still difficult to get a triple-double at this time, and the gold content is very high.

But the newspapers that night were covered by another incident.

Seeing the news, Ye Heping was taken aback.

Sure enough, the infamous Palace of Auburn Hills incident happened, just tonight.

……

The Pacers and Pistons, the two teams were opponents in the Eastern Conference Finals last season.

This season, the Pistons are the defending champions.

The Pacers are the strongest team in the league this season:

Artest, who just won the All-Star, Best Defensive Player, Best Defensive First Team, and Best Team three-team.

前面七场比赛场均24.6分6.4篮板3.1助攻1.7抢断0.9盖帽，投篮命中率49.6%，三分命中率41.2%，是一颗冉冉升起的未来巨星。

In all media comments this summer, Artest is the No.1 small forward.

The team boss, Jermaine O'Neal, is capable of interacting with Duncan at this time.

The third master "Martial Saint" Stephen Jackson is excellent in offense and defense, omnipotent in organization and scoring, and is the best championship puzzle.

Plus veteran Reggie Miller.

In addition, Jamal Tinsley, Fred Jones, Clothier and other powerful rotations, the Pacers' lineup is perfect.

With coaching genius Rick Carlisle on the bench, you can't even find a flaw in this team.

And the most frightening thing is: Jermaine O'Neal is 26 years old, Artest is 25 years old, and Jackson is 26 years old. They not only have the present, but also the future.

But all of this was ruined by a conflict.

With 45.9 seconds left in the game, Artest fouled Big Ben viciously.

Big Ben's temper, coupled with the fact that the team was 15 points behind, immediately pushed Artest hard.

Look at the people on both sides, Big Ben, Roaring God Rashid, Warrior Saint Jackson, Beast Artest, Temperament O'Neal, Mouth Fighter Reggie Miller...

The two sides clashed immediately, but fortunately they did not fight.

At the last moment, Artest took a step back.

Whether it was scared by Big Ben, or Artest himself didn't want to fight, it is meaningless to discuss this now.

In short, Artest was persuaded to go back to the court and lie down in the referee's seat to calm down.

But while Artest was still angry, a Motown fan hit Artest with a drink cup.

All of a sudden, Artest's anger was completely ignited, and he rushed to the stands to beat up the fans.

In the bitter cold of Detroit, the fans were already wild, but they fought Artest.

Artest's good brothers O'Neal and Jackson were naturally not far behind and rushed to help.

Especially Stephen Jackson was really a wolf into the herd, knocking down everyone in an instant with one punch, and Wu Sheng became famous in the first battle.

Police officers then entered the venue and pulled the crowd away.

But the Motor City fans are really new. The two kids came up and continued to provoke Artest, and Artest came up with a punch.

And his teammate Jr. O'Neal even punched him.

I don't know how long it took, the conflict finally stopped, Artest was expelled first, and the Pacers left the field.

However, the Motown fans still refused to give up and continued to throw things and boo.

After O'Neill was hit by a chair, he fought again...

Nine fans were injured and two were taken to hospital by the end of the clash.

In the face of this unprecedented conflict, the league was furious, and NBA Commissioner David Stern gave the heaviest punishment in history.

Artest was banned from participating in all the remaining games of the season, a total of 73 regular season games and 13 playoff games, with a direct loss of 499.5 million US dollars.

Stephen Jackson was suspended for 30 games, Jermaine O'Neal was suspended for 25 games, Johnson was suspended for 5 games and Miller was suspended for 1 game.

For the Pistons, Big Ben has 6 games, and Billups, Coleman, and Campbell have 1 game each.

A total of 9 people were suspended for more than 140 games.

Subsequently, more than a dozen guards at the Palace of Auburn Hills were fired.

And these are innocuous and trivial matters. What is really serious is the follow-up impact of the incident at the Palace of Auburn Hills.

Because of the fans involved, Stern began to pay attention to the fight, and the punishment must be heavy afterwards.

This conflict can be seen as a watershed in the NBA. Fights and fights were the norm before, but after that, there were fewer and fewer such things, more bickering, and fewer and fewer hands-on actions.

Players are not fools. A fight like Artest lost 500 million dollars in wages and various endorsements, and then fell straight from the superstar seedlings. The price is too high.

In addition, when the Pacers, the strongest team in the league, lost their competitiveness in the season, Artest left in the second year, and the Pacers began to rebuild.

O'Neal's competitive state also began to decline sharply. He fell from the top of the league and suffered from injuries.

Reggie Miller missed the best chance to win the championship, without a championship for life, and retired sadly.

Artest and Jackson's competitive status has plummeted. Although they still have strength, they are no longer the core of the team. Instead, they have become thorns and wandered in the league.

……

Said so much, but can't forget another person.

That's right, the guy who hit Artest with a soda bottle, caused a conflict, and then hid during the fight.

He thought he could escape the sanctions, but he didn't know that Skynet was restored.

Originally a habitual offender, he was listed as a suspect from the beginning, and the subsequent video also confirmed this.

John Green, another Green.

There was one crime of intentional injury and three crimes of drunk driving.

He was sentenced by the police to 30 days in prison and a $500 fine.The Pistons withdrew his season ticket, banned him for life, and was not allowed to watch games at the Pistons' home court.

And this guy was so shameless that he even wanted to auction off the notification letter sent to him by the Pistons.

The one named Green really doesn't have many good things.
