Just before the game against the Sonics, news came that something big happened in the NBA. A group fight broke out at the Palace of Auburn Hills. Milicic's old club may now be punished by the league, and the Pacers are even more serious.
Artest, Jackson, O'Neal and several others have directly started fighting with the fans, and the punishment may be more severe.
The previous incident of Milicic accidentally injuring Duncan was like a little joke in comparison. No one would hold on to this point. On the contrary, many people thought that this guy was a good kid from the Pistons.
.
Milicic also recovered from the Natalie incident because of this incident. His appearance did not change the major events that would have happened in the NBA. Moreover, through the game video, Milicic discovered that this game was different from the one in his memory.
It was exactly the same. It started with Artest's flagrant foul on Ben during the counterattack. There was no mistake at all. This made Milicic once again curious about fate. How much impact does his appearance have on the league?
?Will the Lakers, who were originally expected to rebuild, miss the playoffs? Will the Rockets with Tracy McGrady make it to the first round of the playoffs again? Will the Spurs still defeat the Pistons in the finals and win the championship...
Suddenly, the Palace of Auburn Hills incident triggered discussions from all walks of life. Not only the basketball community, but also judicial and public safety agencies were involved. David Stern's originally hard-working positive image was once again undermined by these guys.
It was ruined, and the NBA suddenly became a laughing stock in the American sports circle.
Although something happened at the Palace of Auburn Hills, it did not affect the progress of other games at all. David Stern was eager to appear in a few shocking games so that everyone could divert their attention.
The game between the Celtics and Seattle SuperSonics was not broadcast by TNT, but by ABC. The commentators were Bill Walton, Mike Harmon and Steve Jones. Bill Walton was the favorite
Commenting on the star center's game, although there was no super center in this game, Bill Walton had heard Milicic's name before. Before the game started, Walton said to Hammon: "Milicic is my
The most interesting player I have ever seen. He has been on a roller coaster in the more than a year since he joined the NBA. First he entered the NBA as the No. 2 favorite, and then he averaged less than 5 minutes per game in one season and became someone else's.
He was called a parallel import, but he used a gold medal in the Olympics to prove that he was really a capable player. After the Olympics, when everyone was optimistic about him, he actually broke out in the Pistons. Just when everyone was worried about this departure.
The kid in Boston was frustrated and he won Player of the Week in the first week of the regular season... Oh my God! This kid has done more in a little over a year than some people do in a lifetime."
Bill Walton's partner Stephen Jones said: "Of course, Bill, your NBA trajectory is much clearer, win the championship - recuperate - win the championship - recuperate - retire... I have long heard that chronic illness can cause
Doctor, Bill, you should be a very good doctor now, right?"
"Of course, I circumcised this guy Jones last time, but I still have to thank modern science and technology. If it weren't for the help of a microscope, I'm afraid the operation would not be possible at all, hahaha!"
While a few old guys were chatting in the commentary room, players from both sides also entered the field. Milicic went over to greet Radmanovic and tell each other about the situation of the Serbian and Montenegrin teams.
But over there, Pierce and Ray Allen got into a fight before the game even started, talking about some trivial matters with each other, just like who scored how many points over whom, Millisi.
Qi was stunned. The two of them were as good as brothers when they won the championship with the Celtics. Who still remembers them looking like this now?
Boston Celtics starting lineup:
Point guard Gary Payton, shooting guard Eddie Jones, small forward Paul Pierce, power forward Al Jefferson, center Darko Milicic
Seattle SuperSonics starting lineup
Point guard Luke Ridnour, shooting guard Ray Allen, small forward Rashard Lewis, power forward Vladimir Radmanovic, center Jerome James
After the opening, Milicic won the jump ball with James. The first ball of the game was also passed by Payton to Pierce. Pierce handed it to Milicic at a 45-degree angle on the left side of the basket. Pierce is a
A player who is very capable of executing the coach's tactics. Otherwise, how could he see Al Jefferson, Rondo and others rising up beside him? Rivers told him that the offense should start from the inside, and he really handed it over.
Insider.
After Milicic caught the ball, he tested the big man behind him. The Celtic teammates on the side all opened up to give Milicic a single. Jerome James said in Milicic's ear: "Boy, I heard
You are a parallel importer, and some people have rehabilitated you recently, but I will turn you back into a parallel importer soon."
This guy is not very capable and his tone is not small. Although James is not bad in height and strength, Milicic is better than him. James took a step back after being hit twice. Milicic faked a position very close to the basket.
After the action, a small hook ball was scored.
When running back to the other half, Milicic said to Jerome James: "Although they are called James, you are really weak and pitiful. You are so big and your strength is so weak. Your father made you
It must have been watered down."
Bill Walton on the sidelines was even more excited than Milicic after seeing the goal scored. He said: "Although Jerome James is almost 10 years older than Milicic, he is just as good as Milicic in front of him."
Like a primary school boy, he was forcefully eaten by Milicic, which is not a good thing for Jerome, who is already slow to move. I think Milicic is now considered one of the top five centers in the league."
"Bill, don't be so exaggerated. Just because he scored 2 points under a center of Jerome James's level and you praise him like that, your standards are really very low!" Jones sneered.
Wharton.
Before he finished speaking, Rashard Lewis hit a three-pointer under Pierce's defense. Milicic pushed past Jerome James to collect a rebound and handed the ball to Payton. Then Milicic kept going.
He rushed towards the opponent's half, and James and Radmanovic simply couldn't keep up with his speed. When Milicic reached the opponent's inside, the opponent only had three small players from the outside back, Eddie Jones.
Facing Ray Allen's defense, he made a layup move, but his hand was hooked back. Milicic caught the ball and made a powerful dunk.
"A big man who can play fast breaks?" Stephen Jones looked at Walton in surprise.
"I have said before that this guy is extraordinary. He can use solid inside skills to attack like a traditional post like Duncan, and he can also run fast breaks like a new era post like Kenyon Martin. I think the Pistons gave up on him.
