This happened suddenly, and even Ding Weidi was ready to applaud the ball.
However, Tang Tian's response was quick, and he flew directly to Pachulia. Without a word, his hand was a punch.
Pachulia was still showing his hands for an innocent appearance a second ago, and Tang Tian punched the center of the facade the next second.
The whole person fell back to the ground because of the impact.
Suddenly this time, when Tang Tian retreated, other talents reacted one after another.
The players on both sides shoved directly together, and the referee also joined in.
Embiid was very emotional on the sidelines, but Butler came over and held him back.
No matter what happens on the court, players who are not on the court will be evicted directly.
After he grabbed Embiid, he turned and looked at Tang Tian with doubt.
Tang Tian is his role model and close friend and has never been an impulsive person in his knowledge.
Even if Martin was hitting the Spurs at the beginning, there was a cause, but this was too sudden.
The referee on the court has separated the players on both sides, and Ariza and Pachulia have also been assisted by their respective teams.
"Expel! Expel!"
Fans at the scene shouted at this time to expel Tang Tian.
Tang Tian's punch was really too much. Dallas fans could not tolerate his players being treated like this.
Even if Tang Tian is hot now, it is MVP hot.
The scene was full of scolding, but the Pelicans were still calmer. They knew that Tang Tian must have something to do, and more concerned about Liariza's injury.
The referee went to the technical station to watch the video playback. After a while, the playback of the ball just appeared on the LED screen.
From Ariza to Tang Tian's punch.
With the slow release of the first pass, there was a stir in the scene.
Slow motion shows that after Ariza shot, he looked for a foothold, but Pachulia had an obvious leg extension.
Then Ariza stepped on the instep and fell to the ground.
Tang Tian also rushed over and punched people after seeing Ariza being stepped on the foot.
The video was played back several times, and things were basically confirmed, but the sound of eviction sounded again.
Although the sound is much lower than before, it still exists.
The referee called the head coaches of the two teams together after deliberation, and then announced the final penalty result.
Pachulia was sentenced to first-degree malicious foul.
Tang Tian was convicted of a second-level malicious foul and was expelled directly.
Cheers rang out at the scene.
Tang Tian and the team doctor drove Ariza back to the player channel.
The farewell was booing.
"thank you."
Ariza's expression was painful when he talked, and he was not light.
"That's not important, I hope your foot injury is not serious."
Tang Tian said.
Ariza's role in the Pelicans is irreplaceable, and his absence will have a great impact.
If it is serious enough to be reimbursed for the season, the Pelicans will be overshadowed this season.
Ariza was checked by the team doctor. Tang Tian returned to the locker room. He did not leave. After taking a shower, he turned on the TV and watched the live broadcast.
Cuban is willing to invest in the team. The Mavericks' locker room is one of the league's most luxurious. The visiting team also has a large-screen TV.
But he did not envy him.
Benson is not worse than Cuban. After the Pelicans have achieved outstanding records in a row, he said that he will renovate the stadium.
The upgrade of the dressing room is part of it.
Ariza retired from injury, Tang Tian was expelled, the Pelicans lost two starters, and the situation became extremely unfavorable.
However, at a critical moment, Stevens showed his coaching ability. He replaced Bojan and Amino and began to play Davis as the core inside.
Although the situation on the court was anxious, the Pelicans stabilized the scene.
The Pelicans ended the first half with a 51-46 lead with 5 points.
At halftime, the players returned to the locker room.
Seeing that Tang Tian was still there, the players were talking about Pachulia's footsteps.
And as players, they really understand Tang Tian's **** approach.
Stepping is the worst behavior in basketball, even worse than Green's kick.
Unless you really want to kill someone, kicking the egg will still control the strength, but if you step on the foot, one of the accidental ruins is the opponent's career.
Because ankles and knees are the most vulnerable parts of basketball players, and foot pads are the most likely to cause devastating injuries to these two parts.
This is also an important reason why the defensive star Bowen was shameful at first, and he is also very good at stepping.
"Brothers, you need to win this game."
After the team members discussed, Tang Tian said to others very seriously.
The players looked at him staring blankly, and then all understood what he said.
Ariza was injured, regardless of the quality of the final check, this time to win the game is the best comfort for him.
"We will do it."
Bo Yang said.
Tang Tian nodded.
"I will look at you in the dressing room, I believe you."
He continued.
Back in the second half, the Pelicans' mental state was completely different from the first half.
They are very devoted. The state is not like playing a regular season, but a state that is only available in the playoffs and even the finals.
Moreover, Bo Yang's starting condition in the second half was surprisingly good, and the outside line kept shooting.
His shooting is not only used on women, but also on the field.
Bo Yang's restraint on the outside gave Davis and Jokic a lot of room to play inside.
Although the two main forces are missing, the Pelicans have been pressing the Mavericks after returning in the second half.
By the end of the third quarter, they even extended their lead to 15 points.
This is the role of the spirit.
The Mavericks launched a crazy counterattack in the last quarter under Butler's leadership, but in the end Davis and Jokic's stable play still let them fall short of the defeat.
The Pelicans ended the game 107-99.
Davis scored the team's highest 27 points and 11 rebounds, Jokic also contributed 21 points, 10 rebounds and 7 assists, Bo Yang also scored 20 points in 6 three-pointers.
After the game ~ www.novelhall.com ~ Tang Tian, who was expelled, attended the post-match press conference.
The question about shots and beatings in the game was mentioned numerous times by reporters.
Although Pachulia ’s behavior is very bad, Tang Tian ’s punch is likely to make him lose the support of the media, especially in the selection of MVP.
Coalition and media standards for dealing with violence have always been very strict.
"I admit that I am impulsive in the game. That should not be part of the game. I apologize to the fans and the players on both sides. I am also willing to accept any penalty from the league."
Tang Tian's first sentence attracted the restlessness of the reporters below. They rarely saw Tang Tian publicly apologize in front of the reporter.
"But if you give me another chance to choose, I will still choose to shoot. From Green to Pachulia, our opponents are all dealing with us in a non-sports way. I can only do that, because only then To make them understand that this is not a team that allows them to do that. "
But after the apology was over, Tang Tian turned around and said firmly.
