I don't know how long it took, until the referee's whistle was almost blown, and the on-site conflict was reluctantly stopped from further escalating.
After belatedly reacting, Sanderson and Cannan hurriedly pulled Harrell away from Okafor.
Looking again, the protagonist of this incident was trembling with his hands and desperately protecting his head. The bridge of his nose was broken and his face was still bleeding.
hiss!
Are these young people these days so ruthless if they disagree with each other?
Seeing Harrell trying to break free after being pulled away, the fans in the Wacovia Center were almost stunned.
Hey, wait a minute, it seems that the one who was beaten was our own talented center Okafor!
At this time, the 75ers fans woke up from the state of being a crowd and saw the tragic situation of Okafor lying on a stretcher with his nose bleeding, and they became angry.
There were constant boos at the scene, and the sound continued to bombard the Trail Blazers bench.
What's more, he directly threw the items in his hands into the field.
Due to unexpected circumstances, the game entered an official technical timeout.
At this time, Jokic was driven back to the sidelines by Wang Zelin, who rushed up to him. The team doctor who was traveling with the team on the away game immediately came up to ask.
The head coaches of both sides came to the technical stage, and the big screen kept responding to the previous conflict. The referee watched the video repeatedly and decided on the final penalty.
"Peng!"
Suddenly, a plastic cup hit Wang Zelin on the back. He turned around and saw that it was an angry 75ers fan.
However, this behavior also angered Wang Zelin. If he hadn't blocked it, wouldn't the cup have hit Jokic?
Wang Zelin immediately stood up, picked up the cup on the ground, and threw it outside the court.
Such behavior was tantamount to provoking away fans. The boos and curses around him became louder and louder, and several fans even wanted to rush down from the auditorium.
Thanks to the strong security at the scene and the Blazers coaching staff who came to persuade Wang Zelin, there was no further riot at the scene.
Suddenly, Jokic's painful screams came to Wang Zelin's ears. The latter's condition did not look good.
"Wang, I suggest that Nicholas go for a checkup now. His condition doesn't look good."
On the bench, the team doctor stood up and reminded Wang Zelin.
Then I learned from the team doctor that Jokic was most likely suffering from a shoulder dislocation, but he did not rule out the possibility of more serious injuries such as dislocation and shoulder tear. He now had to be sent to the hospital for testing with more sophisticated medical equipment. OK.
"Then send him there quickly. Don't delay any longer. Your health is important."
After listening, Wang Zelin hurriedly replied.
At this time, the final penalty from the technical desk has come out.
On the 75ers' side, Okafor was sentenced to a second-level flagrant foul and was directly ejected!
Of course, with his current situation, he couldn't fight even if he wanted to.
On the Trail Blazers' side, Harrell was also sentenced to a second-level flagrant foul and was immediately ejected.
The same harsh penalty was imposed, and it is foreseeable that Harrell will definitely receive a suspension and fine after the game.
After the video of the conflict was replayed, the large LED screen at the scene replayed the flagrant foul that Okafor had just committed.
That move was extremely bad and was obviously directed at someone, which was not in line with the spirit of sportsmanship.
After watching the process, the shouts of the 75 fans in the auditorium slowly stopped, and finally disappeared.
There is no way, Okafor's behavior is indeed unreasonable!
Return from the timeout and the game continues.
After warning Jokic to cooperate with the doctor after going to the hospital and not to worry about the game, Wang Zelin led a group of main players to reappear.
This time, he directly pulled out the pass button and activated the unlimited firing rights given to him by the team.
The absence of Jokic will definitely have an impact on the Trail Blazers' strength, but the impact is not so great as to lose the core.
But without Okafor, for the 75ers, it means losing the absolute core of the inside, and the entire 75ers team system will completely collapse.
In less than 5 minutes, Wang Zelin made 6 of 6 shots and had an explosive output of 14 points, 4 rebounds and 1 block, taking all the team's points.
At the end of the three quarters, they were 90 to 65, leading the 75ers by 25 points.
After returning from a timeout between sections, the Trail Blazers players returned with overwhelming fury, turning the Wacovia Center Arena into a brutal slaughterhouse!
This time, it wasn't just Wang Zelin, all his teammates worked hard to output crazy numbers, both offensively and defensively.
In the end, the Trail Blazers scored 48 points in the final quarter, directly setting a new record for scoring in the final quarter of a single game in the team's regular season history.
At the same time, they held the 75-man team to only 9 points in the final quarter, 7 of which came from free throws.
At the end of the game, 138:74, the Trail Blazers defeated their opponents by 64 points on the road, setting the largest point difference in an NBA single game in the past 25 years!
In NBA history, including the regular season and playoffs, there have been only five games with a score difference of more than 60 points.
The five games were the 1991 Warriors' 62-point victory over the Kings;
In 1962, the Nationals beat the Knicks by 62 points;
In 1972, the Lakers beat the Warriors by 63 points;
In 1998, the Pacers beat the Trail Blazers by 65 points;
And the Cavaliers beat the Heat by 68 points in 1991!
In the past 10 years, the largest point difference in an NBA game was 58 points in Game 4 of the playoffs when the Nuggets challenged the Hornets away on April 27, 2009.
Commonly known as, May 8 tragedy!
Tonight, the Trail Blazers' 64-point victory directly pushed the 75 team to third place on the list of the largest single-game score differences in NBA history.
For the 75ers, and even all fans in the city of Philadelphia, this is the biggest humiliation the team has suffered since its founding!
But they are still unreasonable. Who would have thought that Okafor would actually do such a stupid thing? As a result, they now have nowhere to vent their anger. They can only endure the various criticisms and comments made by the people on the Internet.
.
The only thing the 75ers fans could do was to boo the Trail Blazers players as they left the field at the end of the game.
However, that's all.
After the game, the Trail Blazers' bus drove directly to the best hospital in the area.
After arriving at the hospital, Wang Zelin and his teammates learned about Jokic's examination results. After undergoing an MRI examination, the diagnosis was a slight dislocation of his right shoulder, not a torn joint labrum that the coaching staff and teammates were most worried about when they discussed it on the road.
This gave everyone a sigh of relief.
Generally speaking, if a shoulder is dislocated, depending on the athlete's physical fitness and the medical conditions of the NBA league, it can be restored to a healthy competitive state in about a month at most.
But if the joint labrum is torn, it is considered a serious injury. If it is not done right, it may ruin a player's career.
After all, not everyone can recover from serious injuries like Paul George.
