Chapter 203 No one is better
Miami Heat had only one mortal enemy, that was the Knicks, not only because Pat Riley came from the Knicks, but also because they fought fiercely in the playoffs in the late 1990s.
Sometimes the winner is the Knicks, and sometimes the winner is the Heat, although the number of times is not many.
It wouldn't be new if the NBA had encountered the playoffs for several consecutive years, but the collision between the Heat and the Knicks was definitely a very strange phenomenon, because from the 1996-1997 season to the 1999-2000 season, the Miami Heat played against the New York Knicks in the playoffs for four consecutive years, and these four encounters were all the hard-working game to the seventh.
"bloodandmuscle", these two words are the most accurate to describe the confrontation between them.
Moreover, these four confrontations were played when the Heat had a home advantage. They only succeeded in a comeback once, and the rest were dragged to the last game, and then they watched the Knicks leave.
At the beginning, the two teams also had a very fierce group fight on the field, and the scene of Comrade Van Gundy lying on the floor hugging Mooning's thighs was still revealed and said that it was a model for coaches to protect players.
With so many grudges entangled in it, don’t expect any peace between the Knicks and the Heat. Anyway, if both sides meet, they will step on each other and whoever wins will celebrate crazily.
Even though the guy who fought in groups had almost retired, the two teams had a bit of a deeper and deeper attitude. Every time they met, the scene would be very hot.
But now the Knicks' strength is right now. The New Yorker has been a little cowardly when he met the Heat in recent years, and this situation has become a little more serious as the Heat won the championship.
But Miami fans can guarantee that after this night has passed, the Heat's hostile roster will definitely put the Celtics on the Knicks, and they even dare to say that they hate the former more.
There was no way. The last conflict was at the Knicks' home court, and it was a away game. Morning was set up by Larry Johnson, and in the end, the Heat lost the final battle because of his suspension.
But this melee took place at the door of their home! Those Bostonians obviously came to the door! Faced with this situation, how could Miamis swallow their anger? Don’t forget that they are the champions!
This is the championship territory, but it makes others stoop! No one can bear this anymore. In the last few minutes of the game, almost more than 10,000 fans in Miami were jumping and roaring at the Celtics!
"Get out! You damn Bostonians! Get back to your territory quickly! You are not welcome here!"
There was no demeanor at this time, and the already angry Miami fans were completely outraged.
The security staff at the scene were really confused because they found that if something really happened, just these few heads of garlic would really not stop these already a bit violent fans.
If the Auburn Hill incident repeats itself, there will definitely be a more intense conflict in the American Airlines Center Arena.
The security personnel probably regret the most now that they are receiving a low salary, but they have to face a very high risk. If they are scrambling between the two sides, the matter will be lively.
Fortunately, God takes good care of these unlucky people and there is not much time left for the game.
Moreover, the game seemed to have become dispensable after the conflict in the last few minutes. No one called for a timeout. Rivers and Riley both chose to remain silent. They seemed to have completely escaped from the game.
There was no tactics, no adjustments, no substitutions, and even the head coaches on both sides did not continue to speak.
Especially Rivers, he didn't prepare any tactical arrangements at all, just let Scalabrien replace Chen Feng, who was sent off, and then used Tony Parker to push Pierce's position.
In fact, these substitutions were done by Thibodeau, because he saw his partner's heavy expression, which was really scary. He dared to promise that if possible, Rivers would not mind walking over and walking hard Riley, because all of this was because of the tactical arrangement of the damn old man!
Without his orders to attack the blackmail, the game might have just become more intense and would not have become like this!
However, Thibodeau's substitution only gives the players on the court a complete lineup. Pierce and Chen Feng's game will be equivalent to weakening 50% of their combat effectiveness.
As for the result, it is estimated that few people care about it at this time, including the referee. Everyone hopes that the game will end soon, because the chaos in the scene just now is almost collapsed.
Moreover, there was a group of excited fans in the stands around the stadium, and these were the ones that were most worried about now.
Rivers has no tactical adjustments, and Riley is the same. He just lets the players control the remaining minutes by themselves, even when the Heat leads all the way in the last few minutes, he has no expression on his face.
Not only Riley had no expression, but the Heat players also seemed very silent after winning the game. They always liked to chat about Payton, and did not accept any media interviews.
In fact, everyone refused media interviews, not only the Heat, but also the Celtics. As soon as the game ended, the entire team, including the logistics staff, entered the locker room and the door was closed.
Before the reporters could react, the Celtics had already escaped. The guys changed their clothes and left in a hurry without even taking a shower in the locker room.
As for the post-match press conference, Riley and Rivers were absent while having a tacit understanding. Anyway, any subsequent punishment will be no longer a problem for them now.
Compared with the subsequent events that may have caused this conflict, it is no longer a problem to not go to a press conference. Instead of having time to talk to the reporters who are looking for hot news, it is better to go back and think about how to be responsible for the fight. After all, the most severe punishment of the NBA league now is this kind of violent conflict in the field.
Well, although the conflict was only a short half minute,... it was really a violent conflict. Chen Feng and O'Neal broke two cameras on the sidelines during the fight.
There are two other reporters who have suffered the cameras. Anyway, no matter what, this is a bit too big. Rivers' frown brow has never been unfolded since the conflict broke out.
The situation on Riley's side is not much better. Even if he is experienced and experienced on-site command, he has been in the league for more than 30 years, but it is not so easy to solve such a difficult thing.
And the most troublesome problem that Riley felt was that no matter what the conflict was caused, O'Neal was the one who took action first, and I'm afraid that this could not be avoided.
Although Riley now knows why O'Neal made a move, this is not used as direct evidence.
Don’t say it’s embarrassing to tell this, it’s just because it doesn’t have much strength at all. After all, when playing NBA games, you always encounter the other party talking trash.
Just like Payton, his big mouth had squirted countless people back then. If he had to beat him up, this guy would probably not have lived today. Similarly, what Chen Feng said was not the reason O'Neal did.
At the critical moment when the team was winning the game, Riley really didn't expect that such an ordinary regular season game would cause him the biggest trouble.
Although the final winner of this game was the Heat, now when looking back, Riley even feels that if he loses, at least after losing, he only needs to deal with the blame from the media and fans.
Now, in addition to the pressures mentioned above, he also has to consider how to explain to the team's boss. After all, the people involved are O'Neal, Wade, and Haslem.
If this really faces a ban, how many games will it take to defend the title? If it is all suspended, it will be a big deal! What Riley had to consider at that time was to save the playoffs.
Rivers was actually very uneasy. He didn't say anything for nearly six or seven minutes on the sidelines. He was also planning for future games.
This was originally a season for the Celtics to rise, but this damn group fight may ruin their future, especially when the consequences are even more unimaginable when the severe punishments may occur.
Riley's subordinates must not be left behind Wade and O'Neal, and Rivers must not be left behind that boy Chen Feng.
Everyone knows that David Stein is a standard dictator, and this little man is still very tough. If someone dares to disobey his intentions on the NBA's three-point field, he will definitely die very miserably. Some people have tried to challenge Stein's bottom line, and the result is a strikeout.
That's an old guy who can change the rules of the competition for the sake of creating a god, so don't mess with him if you have any problems.
Was the rogue army in Detroit strong enough? Even the leader of the Joe felt a headache when he met them. Dumas and Thomas led the double guards, Bill Ranbill, Mahon, and Rodman were able to firmly guard the inside.
But even such a tough gangster gang lost his chance to win three consecutive championships because of those damn rules. The Qiao Gangmaster was also because of breaking through their blockade, which was the beginning of his own hegemony.
The Detroits did not only suffer one loss from Stein. At the beginning of the Auburn Hill Palace melee, Stein's ban order was also implicated. Of course, the Pacers suffered the most losses.
Miller was considered to have left the league with hatred and chose to retire. His last season was ruined in that melee. If he could be given a lineup of all the main players, perhaps he could have taken a step closer.
Of course, all this is just a hypothesis now, and Miller's original ending can only be regarded as his bad luck.
However, it can be seen from these things that Stein, the president, is definitely a hand covering the sky. No matter what happens in this alliance, he will get the news as soon as possible.
So the fight between the Heat and the Celtics has probably been reported to Stein for a long time. As for the subsequent punishment, Rivers and Riley are now speculating in anxiety.
Anyway, both of them feel that after this damn group fight, what is left to them is definitely a mess.
No one got a chance this time, it was a result of both sides suffering...
