NBA: This Center Is So Stable

The incident was a big success.

Chapter 178: The incident ferments

Most fans do not like the notorious Detroit Pistons in the league, including Larry Brown.

Larry Brown’s hypocritical post-match speech was quickly made into news in major sports newspapers, and after a night of fermentation, it spread across the United States.

Along with Larry Brown’s speech, the notorious Pistons also made a difference.

This fight triggered a series of chain reactions, and fans outside New York suddenly changed their views on the Knicks.

Not many teams can return calmly in front of the once evil Detroit Pistons, and even Jordan was defeated here several times.

In Madison Square Garden, the Knicks did this incredible thing.

Not only did they win the game at home with a 30-point victory, they also disciplined the “warmongering” Detroit Pistons in the league.

After this battle, almost all teams knew that this Knicks team was not easy to mess with.

The appearance of celebrating and singing on weekdays is only one side of New York fans, and Ben Wallace tried out the other side of Knicks fans for other teams at the cost of his disfigurement.

This news had a far-reaching impact, and the league even set up a separate investigation team to review the situation on that day and make post-match penalties.

The more you watch, the more you realize that Ben Wallace deserved to be in that state, and the reason why the other Pistons remained calm was that they were on the road.

David Stern watched the game video with fear and replayed the key frames nearly ten times.

He had no doubt about what kind of violence these Pistons players would commit in the Palace of Auburn Hills… More importantly, now is the critical moment to promote the new century basketball standards, and it is imperative to standardize the standards of refereeing and player actions on the court.

So.

The conflict between the Pistons and the Knicks became a typical case in the 03-04 season. Ben Wallace, who took the lead in the incident, was suspended for 8 games and fined 100,000 yuan.

On the Knicks side, according to the injury assessment of Ben Wallace, Kurt Thomas, who punched, was sentenced to a 10-game suspension (a direct loss of 650,000 salary due to absence) and a fine of 200,000 yuan.

At the same time, the Knicks and the Pistons were each fined 100,000 yuan.

And the Knicks also have to shoulder the responsibility of strengthening the security of Madison Garden. Considering the existence of 72 wins, David Stern still left some leniency in the punishment of the arena.

When the specific penalty was released, this matter was directly topped the hot search.

The headlines that major media had originally prepared for the Knicks’ 72nd win were all replaced by the Madison Square Garden brawl.

For a time, the Knicks, who tied the Bulls’ longest winning streak in history, became a hot topic in the league again with the topic of the brawl.

Many famous commentators, commentators, hosts and newspapers expressed their views on these two events.

“Teams that get entangled with Detroit often don’t have good results, and the Knicks are no exception. However, it must be admitted that the Knicks have done what most teams have not been able to do. At least in the game with the Pistons, they did not fall behind.” – The New York Times

“Before the game started, I felt that the gunpowder smell of this game was very strong. With 72 wins at stake, those Detroit talents would not consider being a background board! Just like the “Bad Boys” back then, they would never let Jordan score even if they paid a malicious foul.” – Chicago Sports Daily

···

In addition to newspapers, there is also a person who expressed his views on social media and in recent post-match interviews.

“The Knicks did something that everyone has always wanted to do but has never done. Although it has paid a certain price, if it were me, I would do the same!” – Carmelo Anthony in a resolute tone in the post-match interview

“When encountering such a thing, you must make the other party pay the price. The Knicks did a good job in this regard… As for the Pistons, I can only say that these guys should take it easy. There are also uncivilized people in a civilized society.” – Meta World Peace (Metta World Peace)

“To be honest, I have changed my opinion of that Chinese rookie. The reason I didn’t approve of him before was that I felt he was a softie, but I didn’t expect him to be as tough on the court as off the court. It was not easy to confront the afro of the Pistons. If I encountered such a thing in my rookie season, I should not handle it as well as he did.” – O’Neal, who is about to enter the playoffs and has a better relationship with Kobe.

In addition to active players, there are also retired players.

Some stars expressed their opinions.

Among them was Michael Jordan, the arch-enemy of Detroit, who accepted an interview: “Now the actions are much gentler. The guy named Kurt Thomas was just a tickler in the early 1990s. I didn’t expect that he could scare the little guys in Detroit directly now. It seems that Isaiah’s inheritance is not in place, hehe~”

“By the way, I also want to mention the Chinese boy. He remained calm enough when he was on the court. It can also be said that he was a cunning chicken. After Kurt punched Big Ben, he held Big Ben tightly. When he saw the fans leave the court, he quickly let go of the opponent. He is like a veteran in this matter, not a rookie at all.”

As Jordan’s arch-enemy, the Pistons became the only victim in this interview.

···

The same is true for domestic public opinion.

As the source of news, the Knicks, and most domestic fans are Knicks fans, so it is difficult not to express opinions on this matter.

For a time, the public in China was excited and spit flew everywhere.

Xinhu Sports also benefited from it. Every day, a new post with more than 1,000 views was pinned to the top.

“Wang Song was as steady as a rock and controlled the overall situation. He watched Ben get beaten and escaped unscathed! ”

The highlighted replies below also gathered the intellectuals who were preparing to take the postgraduate entrance examination in China.

——【The fine is a bit heavy for the Knicks. Kurt’s action can be regarded as legitimate defense in China. Besides, the free America is happy every day. If Kurt didn’t knock out Ben’s teeth on the spot, he would be a fast runner. 】

——【It’s a bit of a loss. The main thing is that it’s just one punch. This Wallace looks so big and strong, how can he not withstand such a blow? 】

——【Brother above, let a strong man weighing more than 200 pounds hit you in the face and see if you can withstand it! 】

——【But it feels so bad to lose a big player for a rubbish team like the Pistons… Although the Pistons lost their core inside players, it still feels bad even if it’s a 1-for-1 trade. Fortunately, Wang Song didn’t go down to fight. 】

——【Oh, it’s true. Wang Song’s performance after being pushed down that day was really textbook-level. You can’t tell without slowing down the video. That guy first stood up and hugged Big Ben, and after the latter was beaten up, he went to pull the impulsive fans to control the influence of the matter. This guy who doesn’t get angry even in a fight is really scary! 】

——【Kurt has no chance of playing in the regular season and the first round with this suspension. I hope the Knicks can hold on until the second round. 】
