Although Miller's fate made Edison sigh, the legend of a generation ended his career in such a way that best suited his character. It can also be said to be the best choice besides winning the championship. And the matter has passed, who
Nothing could be changed, so Edison turned his attention to the subsequent development of this incident.
On the afternoon of the next day, the league finally announced the punishment results for four players involved in the brawl in yesterday's game between the Pacers and the Pistons.
Miller, this incident turned from a push between players into a vicious fight. This great master should bear the main responsibility, and he was the most eye-catching performer in the fight. As a result, he was suspended for 10 games and fined 25,000 US dollars. However, Miller
He announced his retirement after the game, and the suspension meant nothing to him.
Although Tinsley was the trigger of the fight, his subsequent behavior was not excessive. At first, he and Billups just pushed each other. Later, when they really wanted to fight, Miller took away all the hatred.
.Except for the whole incident when Miller was pushed down, he showed a little bit, and he was not a key figure at other times. But as the cause of the incident, he cannot escape the blame no matter what. He was also fined 25,000 U.S. dollars and was suspended.
5 games.
Billups was the first person to lose his composure, but according to everyone's analysis after the game, Billups did not want to make the matter a big deal. He just wanted to vent his emotions because he was dissatisfied with the foul and pushed Ting away.
There was no follow-up action after Slee. It can be said that without Miller's subsequent outburst, it would have been just a technical foul. And in the subsequent development, he was still the one who was beaten. He was more of a passive defense and had few opportunities to fight back. Therefore
Fined $20,000 and suspended for 3 games.
Rasheed Wallace didn't say anything. He just shot that shot and he couldn't run away. However, he was not that arrogant and he shot to protect his teammates, so he was lighter than Miller.8
A game suspension and a $25,000 fine.
You must know that the NBA is a cheat and has a daily salary system. If a player cannot play for reasons other than tactics, the team will not pay you a salary. So calculated in this way, the actual economic losses of the three people except Miller
Much more than a fine.
In addition to the penalties imposed on the players, the Detroit Pistons and Indiana Pacers were also fined $500,000 each.
In the past, the players of the two teams caused a lot of trouble because of their time in Auburn Hills. Later, after Stern's careful repairs for half a year and the unexpected rise of Edison, the image of the NBA has just improved. But no one expected the players of these two teams.
He dared to go against the trend of committing crimes again, causing serious damage to the league's image again. Therefore, the punishment for this incident was extremely serious compared to the past. In the past, such small-scale conflicts were suspended for one or two games.
Stern also elaborated his views again at the press conference, "We need to use the strongest means to avoid similar incidents from happening in the future. This is our responsibility. The following penalty decisions are made after considering all factors.
Yes, it will prove the league's determination to eliminate brawls. We need the NBA and NBA players to be the best role models in professional sports. Teams need to control the actions and emotions of their employees - including managers and players, and players as well.
To use breaks and timeouts to gradually calm down their minds, they must accept the team's orders instead of intensifying the conflicting atmosphere on the court."
The media were basically satisfied with the league's punishment results and believed that the handling was appropriate and the response was timely.
After this incident came out, the most excited people were the 76ers and Celtics. The two teams immediately seemed to be fighting each other. Game 7, which they originally attached great importance to, was definitely going to blow their brains out.
….
Because the Pistons' offensive core, Wallace, will definitely not be able to play, and the team's brains, Billups, will also miss at least half of the game, so no matter which of the two teams faces them, the winning rate will soar, and advancing to the Eastern Conference finals will no longer be possible.
It's a dream.
The Heat and Magic are also very excited. The suspension of two people, not to mention that Wallace is destined to miss an Eastern Conference finals, will also cause great trouble to them in terms of physical fitness. The Pistons are a team-based team, and they can
It is said that the status of the five starters is equally important. Once one is missing, the other four will have to work harder to make up for it. Therefore, even if the Pistons make it past the second round, their main physical fitness will reach a critical point and they will be at risk at any time.
May crash.
However, although the future looks wonderful, the road still has to be walked step by step. The primary question before Edison now is how to get through the Heat.
After it was determined that the opponent of the game was a Miami player, Edison was discussing with the tactical team how to deal with it.
Because the two teams are neighbors, they played 4 games in the regular season and ended in a 2-2 tie, but the styles and characteristics of each other are clear to each other.
The Heat's current main tactic is an 8-man rotation, starting with Damon Jones and Wade on the back line, Eddie Jones and Haslem as the forwards, and Shaquille O'Neal guarding the basket. There are three main rotation substitutes.
They are guard Dowling, white center Doryak, and forward Butler. Laettner, a former member of the Dream Team, is not in the main rotation lineup, but he can get a few minutes of factory time in every game and smooth out the cracks.
When Edison called Thibodeau and Rodriguez to the conference room, as soon as the topic started, the two started talking.
Although Rodriguez is the oldest, he currently has the lowest status among the three, so he is the first to speak.
"Although the Heat now say that O'Neal will miss the game for a week, no one knows whether it will be a smoke bomb. What will happen if he comes back early, so we must make two preparations, one with O'Neal and one without him.
, the former one is the key point.”
The old guy had a very clear mind and hit the key points in one sentence. Thibodeau and Edison nodded after hearing this.
"Then do you have any targeted suggestions?" Edison asked the next question.
"It's easy to handle when O'Neal is away. As long as we guard the perimeter, especially focusing on Wade, winning will not be a problem. So I suggest that in this case, remove Marion from the starting position and replace him with
Iguodala, let Hill play small forward. In this way, in offense, we can still maintain the three-core operation of Nash, Hill and Diaw, and in defense, we can start with Iguodala, who has super physical fitness.
Keep an eye on Wade throughout the game, let them have a head-on confrontation first, and after consuming Wade's energy, let Hill come out and finish him off."
"But there is a problem with this tactic, and that is rebounding." Thibodeau immediately gave his opinion after hearing this, "When Marion is on the court, whether he is rushing for offensive rebounds or protecting the backcourt,
The rebounds are very good. But if you follow your current arrangement, in order to prevent Wade from counterattacking during the offense, Iguodala cannot rush for rebounds wantonly, and if Hill rushes for rebounds, the effect will definitely not be particularly ideal. I noticed
He is not very active in grabbing offensive rebounds this season, which may be related to his knee injury. There are also defensive rebounds. Without Marion, our defensive power forward will also be Diaw. His rebound protection and
Marion is not on the same level, so all our pressure will be on Howard."
"Tom, I don't think backcourt rebounds will be a problem. Without O'Neal, Howard can dominate the rebounds alone. As for offensive rebounds, I believe Hill still rushes for them. We see him going inside in his usual games.
There are quite a few breakthroughs, so there is no problem here of not daring to go inside. As for him not rushing for offensive rebounds, I think it has a lot to do with our configuration. We usually have Wallace and others, so we don’t need them.
He went to rush, so now as long as you tell him that the team needs him to do this, he will definitely be able to complete it." Without Rodriguez speaking, Edison answered the question...
"So if there was O'Neal, what do you think?"
"There is no particularly good way. We can only do what we did in the regular season, try our best to increase the rhythm of the game, and then open up the score when he is not on the court. Now if we want to restrict him on both offense and defense, I don't think so.
We must come up with any practical way. Maybe we can announce to the media before the game that we are more worried about Wade, so as to drive a wedge between O'Neal and Wade and see if they will follow the same path of the Lakers losing to the Pistons." Rodri
Gus shook his head helplessly, and then gave a psychological strategy outside the game. You must know that when the Lakers lost to the Pistons in 2004, people later analyzed that a very important reason was the conflict between O'Neal and Kobe. The discord between the two led to the game
The inside and outside lines of the team cannot be connected together.
After listening to Rodriguez's words, Edison nodded secretly, and then said to Thibodeau, "Tom, what do you think?"
"Let's use the method we used against the Wizards to block the third scoring point. The most common offensive routine for the Heat now is that after O'Neal attracts attention inside, he passes the ball to the two Jones outside and lets them shoot three-pointers. In the regular season
They can score at least 3 three-pointers every game by relying on this style of play. So as long as we have to kill 2 Jones, the Heat's attack width will be greatly reduced. No matter how many points O'Neal can score in the paint,
use."
"Is there anything else?" After hearing Edison's question, the two men shook their heads.
"Have you ever thought about double-teaming?"
Upon hearing Edison's attention, the two men immediately shook their heads like wavy drums, "Paul, I just said that our players have to defend the opponent's three-pointers. If they are double-teamed, they will be against the Heat's.
I don’t know, they are attacking inside and out, if they open up, we will be doomed.”
"No, no, no, the double team I'm talking about is inside double team."
"Double-team inside? You mean Dio?"
"That's right. We haven't used this tactic much in the regular season because Josh's timing of quotations is not good and it is easy to expose gaps. But our current insider is Diaw. He has rich game experience and has no choice in timing of quotations.
Any problem. Haslem doesn't have mid-range shooting ability, so if we double-team, we don't have to worry about O'Neal passing the ball to the high post. If Haslem cuts to the basket, both of us are tall and have long arms, and O'Neal wants to inside.
It’s not easy to pass in either.”
When Thibodeau and Rodriguez heard this, they looked at each other and nodded. Then Thibodeau said, "You can give this a try. But there is still a loophole. If Van Gundy doesn't play Haslem, and
What should I do if I play a center like Laettner who has mid-range shooting ability?"
"Then let's go one step further..."
When Edison said this method, Thibodeau and the two were dumbfounded. Only then did they realize that Edison had such rich tactical imagination, and if this method was done well, it would indeed be possible to restrain the Sharks.
