On sunday, December 12, 2004, with Christmas approaching, Madison Square Garden also began to have a festive atmosphere.
Although the Knicks don't have a mascot, during halftime, the cheerleaders usually interact enthusiastically with the live audience.
Sponsors would also seize the opportunity to complete activities.
The Knicks' score usually exceeded 100 points in almost every game, and attending a game usually meant getting a free hot dog.
The director focused the camera on Lala Vasquez of MTV in the front row.
This beautiful girl, born in Brooklyn, New York, was rumored to be engaged to Carmelo Anthony.
Affected by the limitations of the era, Lala Vasquez, an Afro-Latina girl, was dressed a bit like a 'killer punk' tonight, but she still smiled sweetly when she saw the camera.
Her white, form-fitting sweater showed off Lala Vasquez's shapely figure.
Since last year, Lala Vasquez, who frequently appeared at the Madison Square Garden, had attracted the attention of many fans.
Celebrities and stars always appeared courtside at Madison Square Garden, but the New York Media recently broke the news that Carmelo Anthony and Lala Vasquez were spat on in Manhattan, drawing more attention to the parties involved.
In the visiting team's locker room, Denver Nuggets Head Coach Jeff Bzdelik was not in a good mood.
Since the start of the new season, the team's record had reached 12 wins and 7 losses.
Although the results were good, the management had higher demands.
As a coach with an ordinary resume, Bzdelik naturally understood that the management seemed to want to replace him and take credit.
From the roster, the Denver Nuggets seemed to have completed their rebuilding.
However, to improve their record, the coach staff also faced difficulties.
For Rookie players to grow, Carmelo Anthony naturally needed shooting opportunities.
Nevertheless, many games were lost because of the core player, and as the Head Coach, he couldn't say much because Carmelo Anthony was the team's future.
If the team's performance did not meet expectations and fans were dissatisfied, then naturally the Head Coach would be fired.
42:57, the Denver Nuggets trailed by 15 points at halftime.
Carmelo Anthony shot 3-for-13 from the field and 4-for-6 from the free-throw line, scoring 10 points with a shooting percentage just over 20%.
Such a poor performance naturally could not lead the team to victory!
In the first half, Carmelo Anthony foolishly chose to battle Ron Artest in the low post, which naturally displeased coach Bzdelik.
After receiving the Rookie of the Year award, Carmelo Anthony didn't care about the coach's thoughts at all.
The NBA was not college basketball.
He was the team's core and wouldn't act according to the whims of an unqualified Head Coach.
Completely unconcerned about his poor shooting performance, Carmelo Anthony naturally wanted to show off tonight since his girlfriend was watching the game.
Shooting more wasn't his fault.
"Attack the rim! We must ensure our aggressiveness!"
Hearing the Head Coach's words, Carmelo Anthony knew he was being told to reduce his jump shots.
He nodded indifferently, knowing exactly what to do.
In the locker room, Greg Buckner, though a starting guard, was essentially invisible.
Andre Miller was 0-for-4 in the first half and had zero points, remaining silent at this moment.
Neither of them responded to the Head Coach's gaze.
They both didn't want to compete with Carmelo Anthony for the ball.
Kenyon Martin had just joined the team, and only Marcus Camby proactively took on the responsibility:
"I'll protect the rim. In the second half, let's start with Defense!"
Seeing the Head Coach nod, Marcus Camby also became energized.
He needed stats.
Without stats, there was no attention.
After the second half began, the Denver Nuggets attacked first.
The first possession again had Carmelo Anthony receiving the ball in the right block.
Camby's screen didn't have much effect.
After Andre Miller delivered the pass, Ron Artest had already chased and defended Carmelo Anthony's side.
Lee no longer looked at Miller beside him.
Perhaps due to tactical requirements, Miller had not shown much offensive desire tonight.
Even though Carmelo Anthony had become a bricklayer, Miller still dutifully passed the ball.
"Defense!"
Amidst the defensive cheers, Carmelo Anthony, after receiving the ball, turned to face the basket for an offensive move.
He first quickly swept the ball from right to left, then continuously used his right foot for jab steps.
Ron Artest completely disregarded the possibility of a strong drive from his opponent and continued to stick close to interfere.
Not choosing a jump shot, after the jab step, Carmelo Anthony put the ball down with his right hand, executed a crossover step, leaned into the defender, and drove towards the paint.
Pau Gasol chose to abandon Camby next to him.
He didn't believe Carmelo Anthony would choose to pass the ball, and indeed, as he predicted, his opponent forced a layup against both of them.
"Squeak!"
Finally, the referee blew the whistle, calling a shooting foul on the helping Pau Gasol.
"Boo!"
The New York fans booed the call, but Pau Gasol himself didn't care, merely shrugging his shoulders and standing by the paint, waiting for Carmelo Anthony to shoot his free throws.
Pau Gasol had just picked up his second personal foul.
On the Knicks bench, the coach staff didn't react much.
Everyone calmly watched the game.
Lee had no interest in such inefficient individual isolation plays.
Every time the Denver Nuggets initiated a play, he could even guess the opponent's passing route.
44:57, Carmelo Anthony made both free throws, helping his team narrow the deficit.
Clay Lee received the ball at the baseline, and cheers erupted again in the Madison Square Garden.
Andre Miller had already retreated on Defense, and the Denver Nuggets were still playing man-to-man.
After crossing half-court, Lee wasn't in a hurry to attack.
When the two big men reached the elbow area, he moved to the left wing.
Approaching the three-point line, Andre Miller stuck close to Lee.
Seizing the opportunity, Pau Gasol suddenly came up.
Lee, holding the ball with his left hand, swayed his shoulder backward, then abruptly lowered his center of gravity, leaning forward to accelerate.
The moment Lee led the ball forward, Pau Gasol, who was faking a screen, quickly rolled to the basket.
Camby misjudged and chose to help his teammate on Defense.
Before Andre Miller could even shout a warning, Lee, who had broken through to the block area, casually tossed the ball directly in front of the rim.
The ball was not fast, and its arc was very high, just clearing the fingertips of Camby, who had slid backward and jumped to intercept it.
As the man arrived, so did the ball.
Pau Gasol easily caught the ball after jumping and powerfully slammed it into the basket with both hands!
"Boom!" An alley-oop dunk!
Amidst the fans' cheers, Pau Gasol smiled and shook his head.
When he realized his opponent preferred to show off, he switched to an easy scoring method of simply receiving passes for dunks.
Although Lee was not in high spirits retreating on Defense, he liked to use such games to activate his teammates' physical condition.
Pau Gasol, who had been 'fishing' in November, gradually regained his aggressiveness.
After resting for about three months, he finally alleviated the fatigue from his previous Olympic trip.
When he returned to the top of the arc, Lee turned his head and saw Carmelo Anthony standing in the left corner, while Martin stopped in the block area on the same side.
Thinking that the opponent would most likely give Carmelo Anthony an off-ball screen to let him receive the ball at the free-throw line for a jump shot, Lee signaled Ron Artest to go under the screen.
Andre Miller was naturally unaware of the Knicks' subtle movements.
After crossing half-court, he moved to the left wing.
At the same time, Carmelo Anthony in the left corner also began to accelerate towards the top of the key.
Martin stood still, setting a screen for his teammate.
Standing directly near the paint, Kurt Thomas proactively left space for Ron Artest.
As soon as the opponent started to move, Ron Artest, having been warned early, accelerated and went under the screen, heading straight for Carmelo Anthony, who was receiving the ball at the free-throw line.
The moment he received the ball, Carmelo Anthony intended to immediately take a jump shot, but Ron Artest was faster than he imagined.
He could only fake a shot and re-secure the ball to his right side.
The moment Carmelo Anthony put the ball down, Ron Artest immediately reached in to poke the ball away, then squeezed past Carmelo Anthony.
Relying on his strength to complete the steal, Ron Artest, now in control of the ball, sprinted past the half-court line.
A somewhat stumbling Carmelo Anthony ultimately failed to chase back, watching Ron Artest drive into the paint, grab the ball with his left hand, and complete a one-handed dunk!
"Ah!"
Although it was not honorable to go against a Rookie, Ron Artest enjoyed such moments.
After completing the dunk, he yelled at the camera under the basket.
Carmelo Anthony didn't notice Lee behind him shaking his head at the audience, even pointing his index finger to his head.
The laughter annoyed Andre Miller, who was receiving the ball at the baseline, but he had no way to reverse the decline.
Seeing his girlfriend's smile disappear, Carmelo Anthony wasn't sure what exactly had happened, but he knew he needed to respond.
Just past half-court, Andre Miller, now acting as the ball-handler, passed the ball to Carmelo Anthony on the right wing again.
Seeing Carmelo Anthony start to dribble, Lee knew the opponent definitely wouldn't pass.
Following Miller to the left wing, he immediately joked in a low voice:
"A guard needs to control the ball. This is a terrible offensive choice!"
"..."
Although he felt Lee was right, Andre Miller couldn't respond, once again watching his teammate play isolation.
Between-the-legs dribble, crossover, the basketball returned to his right hand, and Carmelo Anthony dipped his shoulder and accelerated, trying to squeeze past the Defense.
Ron Artest had been targeted for a month, so he no longer reached in easily.
Instead, he slid his feet quickly and actively engaged in physical contact with his opponent.
Forced to slow down, Carmelo Anthony suddenly pulled back with a cross-step, then accelerated again with the ball in his left hand.
Stopping and starting abruptly, Carmelo Anthony drove into the paint but still couldn't shake off the Defense.
Still not choosing to pass, Carmelo Anthony leaned on Ron Artest, executed a spin move, actively increased his stride, and smoothly gathered the ball as he approached the lower right side of the basket.
His motion was a bit contorted.
Carmelo Anthony, holding the ball in his right hand, struggled to get close to the basket, and the moment the ball left his hand, Pau Gasol, who had rotated to the basket for help Defense, managed to interfere.
The basketball bounced off the rim again, and Ron Artest, defending cautiously, smoothly collected the rebound in the paint, then dribbled the ball himself and accelerated up the court.
Carmelo Anthony could only chase hard from behind.
Before he even crossed half-court, Ron Artest had already passed the ball to Lee, who had rushed past the mid-court line.
Slightly slowing down after receiving the pass, Lee seemed a bit casual as he put the ball down with his right hand.
Andre Miller tried to establish a defensive position at the three-point line, actively lowering his center of gravity, attempting to delay and disrupt Clay Lee immediately.
Approaching the three-point line, Lee completed a between-the-legs dribble, stopped his feet, and as his opponent stuck close to him, his body suddenly feinted towards the front-left.
Instinctively sliding to the right, Andre Miller had just moved his feet when Lee smoothly completed a behind-the-back dribble.
Suddenly increasing the force of the dribble, the moment it switched to his right hand, Lee suddenly drove the ball forward, dipped his shoulder, and accelerated, cleanly breaking through Miller's Defense.
Andre Miller, still adjusting his body's center of gravity, couldn't even make a pulling foul, watching Lee drive straight to the basket.
"Wow!"
Amidst the cheers of the fans, Lee, from the lower right of the basket, burst forward in three steps, grabbed the ball with his right hand, rushed to the lower left of the basket, avoided Marcus Camby who had retreated on Defense, and then turned for a powerful reverse dunk!
44:63, a semi-transition offense, Clay Lee once again helped the team extend their lead.
Coach D'Antoni on the sidelines stood up and clapped, walked around for a bit, and then returned to the bench.
Assistant coach Mike Malone seemed to realize why Carmelo Anthony was so stubborn tonight, and he whispered teasingly:
"Women really do affect a player's competitive state!"
"That's a good thing. We have four games this week anyway."
Mike D'Antoni responded simply and then laughed.
The Heat were also on a winning streak recently, and everyone wanted to grab more wins at the start of the season.
Carmelo Anthony's clanking shots completely put the Denver Nuggets in a passive position.
After Andre Miller was called for a foul, he secretly cursed the new rules.
Lee would make one change of direction and then drive hard, bullying people with his explosive power.
After the lead surpassed 20 points, the referees started giving Carmelo Anthony free throws, and Marcus Camby also benefited.
Occasionally, they would launch a transition offense, and the Denver Nuggets ultimately prevented the lead from expanding further.
In the latter half of the third quarter, Earl Boykins, the small guard under 170cm, re-entered the game.
Head Coach Bzdelik saw Lee cut baseline, receive the ball on the left wing, fake, and then make another strong shot, and he couldn't help but reveal a helpless smile.
Against the physically strong Miller, Lee relied on speed and strength.
Against the "little guy," he was even less willing to waste an ounce of effort, using a jab step for a strong shot.
On the Denver Nuggets' bench, the atmosphere group stopped shouting.
Everyone quietly watched the game, waiting to play.
A single quarter score of 21:32, and after three quarters, the score was 63:89.
Carmelo Anthony returned to the bench with a long face, another 0-for-4 from the field, only getting 6 points from free throws.
He had wanted to show off in front of his girlfriend, but Ron Artest ruined it, and Carmelo Anthony felt he had lost face, so he actively asked to continue playing.
In the final quarter, during garbage time, Carmelo Anthony finally regained his shooting touch.
Carmelo Anthony led the Denver Nuggets in scoring both inside and outside, and the New York fans at the venue were delighted.
The ticket was definitely worth it tonight!
When the game ended, it was 90:113, and the Knicks secured their 14th consecutive win.
7-for-23 from the field, 0-for-2 from three-point range, 12-for-16 from the free-throw line, 26 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists, 6 turnovers.
Reaching 20+ points, Carmelo Anthony also breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as he saved face, it was fine.
Many of Ron Artest's hangers-on were sitting on both sides of the player tunnel, and upon seeing Carmelo Anthony, they couldn't help but jeer and shout:
"Lala Vasquez doesn't like softies!"
"Lala Vasquez only loves tough guys!"
Broken, Carmelo Anthony ripped off his headband and threw it into the stands, pointing at the crowd and starting to curse back.
The "fucks" grew louder and louder, and his teammates who walked over quickly pulled him back to the locker room.
Clay Lee only played 31 minutes tonight, shooting 11-for-19 from the field, 4-for-5 from three-point range, and 6-for-6 from the free-throw line, tallying 32 points, 2 rebounds, 10 assists, and 2 steals.
When asked about the winning streak during an interview with MSG, Lee simply replied:
"Setting a record is certainly a good thing, but before the All-Star Game, our goal is to adjust our form."
"After December ends, I hope to see the Knicks still be the league's best!"
The 2005 Denver All-Star Game was in its first phase of voting, and Clay Lee and Yao Ming's vote counts were still in the leading positions.
On Monday the 13th, after sports media announced the news, Shaquille O'Neal was sour again.
In that night's game, the Washington Wizards became the target of the Shark's frustration.
83:106, the Heat won by a large margin at home, bringing their record to 16 wins and 7 losses.
Dwyane Wade had some minor physical issues and only played 18 minutes.
Shaquille O'Neal played 38 minutes, shooting 15-for-23 from the field, 10-for-16 from the free-throw line, tallying 40 points, 12 rebounds, 3 assists, 5 blocks, and 1 turnover.
The first phase of voting was about to end, and during a post-game interview, Shaquille O'Neal began campaigning for himself again:
"It proves that I can still dominate opponents in games!"
"Thank you to the fans who voted for me, but I want more support."
Jerry Buss of the Lakers recently revealed in an interview that they were preparing to offer Shaquille O'Neal a two-year, $45 million contract.
Without a long-term contract, Shaquille O'Neal didn't even look at the offer and immediately rejected it.
Jerry Buss believed it was a contract that took care of Shaquille O'Neal, but the Shark felt it was an insult to him.
Perhaps to warm up for the Christmas War, both sides have been speaking out frequently recently, and Shaquille O'Neal even began to reveal inside stories about their consecutive losses back then:
"In 2001, after losing to the Knicks again, some people begged me to stay."
"Phil Jackson even asked me to actively accommodate Kobe Bryant, just for his pathetic self-esteem."
"Kobe was completely destroyed by Lee back then. At the end of the Finals, he was crying in the locker room, and it was ultimately I who saved this team!"
"I brought championships to Los Angeles, but in the end, they chose to trade me!"
Both sides had their own versions of the story, and the closer it got to Christmas, the more fiercely they tore into each other.
Basketball commentators also followed the gossip, with rumors circulating one after another.
Due to Kobe's recent dispute with Karl Malone, there were even rumors that "the elder brother took advantage of the situation," which was the biggest reason for the F4's loss in the Finals.
The more news there was, the higher the ticket prices for the Lakers and Heat Christmas War.
The spectators were already impatient, everyone wanted to see the grudge match!
On Monday, December 14th, according to schedule, Jason Kidd was set to return in tonight's game.
To the surprise of Nets fans, Kidd felt unwell before the game and ultimately chose to sit out.
This displeased the New York fans who had bought tickets to watch the game.
Everyone still wanted to see another showdown between Clay Lee and Jason Kidd.
The Nets currently have a record of 7 wins and 13 losses.
alafter a losing streak at the beginning of the season, they have finally regained their form.
There have also been trade rumors recently, with Vince Carter requesting a trade from the Toronto Raptors.
The Dunk King seems to want to join the Nets and team up with Jason Kidd.
This news has not yet been confirmed, but Nets fans have already started celebrating prematurely!
Vince Carter's popularity is undeniable.
Efficiency and honors aside, his spectacular dunks alone are enough to attract fans to buy tickets to watch games.
In that night's game, the Nets once again transformed into a pushover team, scoring a pathetic 30 points in the first half.
The interior Defense formed by second-round pick Brian Scalabrine and Jason Collins was truly subpar; the "Rookie" who is a master at beating weak teams, Amar'e Stoudemire, once again blew out his opponents!
107:76, the Knicks easily defeated the second team.
Jason Kidd made the right decision.
Clay Lee didn't hold back tonight, and after Raja Bell sprained his ankle, he played more at the shooting guard position.
Derek Fisher played 31 minutes, shooting 5-for-8 from the field, 2-for-4 from three-point range, and 2-for-2 from the free-throw line, tallying a double-double with 14 points, 3 rebounds, 11 assists, and 2 turnovers.
Old Fish finally experienced the joy of being a dealer.
As long as he and Lee were on the court at the same time, it was easy to get four or five assists.
On the evening of the 15th, at Auburn Hills Palace, the Knicks played the Detroit Pistons in a back-to-back game.
At the beginning of the season, Larry Brown underwent surgery and missed most of November's games.
Fortunately, the Pistons' record wasn't too affected, and they currently held a 13-7 record.
The Detroit Free Press clamored before the game to end the Knicks' winning streak, and the Detroit fans became even more frenzied after the game started.
At halftime, the Pistons trailed by 16 points, 56-40.
Although Hamilton had a great touch, shooting 6 of 9 for an efficient 12 points, his other two scorers were not efficient, and even after speeding up, they still couldn't withstand the Knicks' offense.
After the second half began, the Pistons finally found their touch, with Rasheed Wallace bouncing back and helping the team score continuously.
With a single quarter score of 28-31, although still trailing by double digits, the Detroit fans saw hope!
In the fourth quarter, the Knicks proactively made substitutions and began to frantically speed up the pace.
With both sides attacking, the score difference could not be narrowed.
As time ticked away, with 1 minute and 31 seconds left in the game, Williams was stolen by Ron Artest.
Watching the opponent steal the ball and complete a one-man fast break for a dunk, some Detroit fans couldn't hold back.
Some cursed loudly, while others left early.
104-88, the Pistons were likely to lose again.
Ron Artest, who had just completed the dunk, roared loudly at the fans in the front row, and the response he received was naturally:
"Fucm you!"
Amidst the curses, Ron Artest didn't care.
Instead, he shook his head and continued to laugh at the fans.
With 22.6 seconds left in the game, Ron Artest again stole Rasheed Wallace's pass.
After completing the steal, Ron Artest didn't stop.
With no one chasing him, he sprinted across half court, entered the paint, jumped off both feet, spun the ball once, and then slammed it into the basket!
Rasheed Wallace immediately cursed loudly when he saw Ron Artest showing off, and he chased him across half court, wanting an explanation.
Kurt Thomas and Amar'e Stoudemire, who came off the bench, also rushed over.
With the persuasion of the referees and players from both sides, the two were quickly separated.
On both benches, the atmosphere groups also started cheering loudly.
Rasheed Wallace felt the referee was biased, and since it was their home court, he started arguing with the baseline referee again.
"You shouldn't have attacked! We need respect!"
Ben Wallace held Ron Artest back, also expressing his dissatisfaction.
Hearing this, Ron Artest instead smiled, leaned forward, and provoked in a low voice:
"Why should I respect you? Because you made it to the Eastern Conference Finals?"
"Don't think that just because you won DPOY, I'll respect you! You just stole my honor!"
"Fuck you!"
Ben Wallace cursed lowly, and the two quickly butted heads, pushed each other, and then voluntarily separated after being warned by the referee.
Since the game was already decided, the Pistons didn't even bother to inbound the ball in the last few seconds.
While Rasheed Wallace was still arguing with the referee, Ron Artest leisurely sat by the scorer's table, showing off.
At this point, most of the Detroit fans had left, and many of the front-row seats were empty.
Ron Artest's entourage came to the front, laughing and cursing at the Detroit fans.
Many fans were also unhappy with Ron Artest's behavior, occasionally joining in the cursing.
After receiving middle finger responses, the cursing in the arena grew louder and louder.
On the other side of the court, Lee was chatting with Chauncey Billups and Hamilton.
Hamilton knew that Lee wasn't a bigmouth, and at this moment, they were discussing how Larry Brown seemed to be considering resigning due to his health.
"If the Head Coach changes, I don't know if the team can continue with its current tactical style."
Chauncey Billups pulled up his jersey and also grumbled a few words in a low voice.
In his opinion, if they could win the Eastern Conference Finals, the Pistons would definitely be able to defeat the Lakers.
Lee heard his old teammate's reluctance and joked again:
"Under the current rules, it's not easy to win a championship relying solely on Defense!"
All three were waiting for the game to end.
On the other side of the court, Kurt Thomas and Amar'e Stoudemire were still surrounding Rasheed Wallace, fanning the flames.
Both sides' players were waiting for the game to end, and no one noticed that in the front row of the stands, Ron Artest's entourage suddenly started fighting with the Detroit fans.
Causing trouble on the road naturally wouldn't end well.
Before the security personnel could react, the four entourage members were already surrounded by fans and beaten randomly.
"Fuck you! Stop it! You sons of bitches!"
Ron Artest was the first to notice his entourage being beaten.
He immediately twisted his body, crossed over the scorer's table, and cursed at the fans who were ganging up.
However, the fans, already in an excited state, had completely lost control.
A white fan in the front row wearing a blue hat directly splashed his beer on Ron Artest:
"Fuck you! You nigger who only licks ass!"
Upon hearing their boss being insulted, the entourage immediately changed direction, ready to pull someone down with them, to show loyalty to their boss.
Sensing the intentions of the four, more Detroit fans also began to shift their attention.
Someone in the crowd, it's unknown who, again splashed beer on Ron Artest.
In a fit of rage, Ron Artest took two large strides into the crowd, intending to pull his entourage out first, but in the chaos, he suddenly took a punch.
At this point, the referees and security personnel had already reacted, and players from both sides also rushed to the scorer's table.
Amidst the noise, an enraged Ron Artest displayed his excellent boxing skills.
With years of diligent training, he dodged an incoming punch, then delivered a right hook, directly knocking a chubby white fan to the ground.
"Oh!"
Watching the white strongman's head snap back, then his body go limp in the seat, the fans behind him gasped.
The referees and security personnel who were preparing to break up the fight also stopped, apparently startled.
The scene instantly spiraled out of control.
Fans in the back began wildly throwing debris, and in the midst of the public outrage, Ron Artest was surrounded by the crowd.
When the four entourage members saw their boss had started fighting, they also began to retaliate.
In an instant, both sides were pulled down into the seats, with beer and snacks flying everywhere.
Ben Wallace rushed into the crowd immediately, trying to separate the two sides, but it was useless.
Amar'e Stoudemire thought Ben Wallace was coming to cause trouble, so he also squeezed in.
From the Knicks' bench, the atmosphere group also rushed into the stands.
The referees, looking at the group of muscular men in front of them, were so scared they could only shout loudly.
Rasheed Wallace also knew things had gotten out of hand, standing on the scorer's table, roaring repeatedly.
"Ah!"
"Fuck!"
Screams and curses filled Auburn Hills Palace, and the scene became uncontrollable.
When Lee and Ewing rushed into the crowd, the atmosphere group had already pulled the fans away.
Debris continued to fly from the stands onto the court.
Lee and Ewing held down Ron Artest, while Hill, who had bad legs, grabbed Amar'e Stoudemire.
Pau Gasol held back the agitated Raja Bell, and the Knicks' staff quickly escorted the coach and players back to the locker room.
Ron Artest's entourage ran onto the court.
Their gold chains were gone, and a small black chubby man even had scratches on his face.
Despite the security personnel's best efforts to control the situation, some fans still rushed in, and both sides started fighting again.
The white fat man who had been knocked down by Ron Artest was now being carried away on a stretcher.
Chauncey Billups and Hamilton exchanged glances.
Larry Brown had no intention of intervening.
The famous coach even showed a relaxed expression.
Seeing Rasheed Wallace still standing foolishly on the scorer's table, he finally sternly reprimanded him:
"Rasheed Wallace, hurry back to the locker room! Do you want to be punished too!?"
"..."
In the visitors' locker room, a calm Ron Artest was no longer irritable.
Seeing that Lee and Ewing also had beer on them, and everyone else who entered the locker room was also wet, Ron Artest sat down, covered his face with his hands, and then looked down and said:
"Did I do something stupid?"
(A/N: Atta boy! Let him cookđ)
...
By the way, don't forget to throw power stones and leave a review to motivate me :)
