On November 22, the Lakers challenged the Pistons away in the NBA regular season, and an unexpected thing happened during the game. In the third quarter of the second half, James had a serious physical collision with Pistons youngster Stewart in the process of defending under the basket, and James turned and hit Stewart's face with a back elbow, causing the latter to open his eyebrows, and then bleeding.
Although James apologized immediately, Stewart did not appreciate it at all, and rushed to James like crazy under the obstruction of everyone.
James's side of Wei Shao and the thick eyebrow brother immediately stood up to protect old Zhan. The accident was only put to rest thanks to the combined efforts of the staff and players on the scene, and James and Stewart were subsequently expelled from the court by the referee.
Although Old Zhan said that he was a little older, it did not affect his position as the "first man in the league", what kind of character dared to confront James like this?
Compared to James, the Stewart is still a newcomer, just entering the NBA last year.
Saia Stewart, who was removed by the Pistons with the 16th pick in the 2020 NBA Draft, played as a center, and in his first year in the NBA, Stewart averaged 7.9 points, 6.7 rebounds and 1.3 blocks per game, and was subsequently selected to the 2020 Rookie Second Team of the Season. Stewart is 2.03 meters tall, stout, has the physical quality of the explosion, and is no less physically confrontational than James and others.
On james's side, this is also the second time he has been expelled from the NBA so far, the last time he was expelled, back to November 2017, almost the same time period, but also shortly after the beginning of the new season, when James was still in the Cavaliers, in the course of the game with his former old club Heat, James was dissatisfied with the referee's blowing penalty, and the mood came up to make indecent moves against it, and then James was expelled by the referee. James's hitting was wrong, but it wasn't intentional. And Stewart's side did not pay any attention to James's apologies, but rushed to James without hesitation, which was also at fault, but the reason for Stewart's unusual anger may be his bleeding wound.
But in fact, if you get to know this Stewart well, you know that he is not a good seedling at all. It's only entered his second season in the NBA, and it's not the first time he's done a "good thing" like this. Griffin, known as the "White Warcraft", learned stewart twice. Since the beginning of last season, Griffin has played for the Pistons and is still a teammate with Stewart, but this period of teammateship has not alleviated griffin's subsequent suffering.
Griffin left the Pistons to join the Nets last season, and then in the Pistons home game, the game progressed to the second quarter when the two clashed over the grab, Griffin tasted Stewart's "big elbow" service, and then Stewart was expelled, and Griffin was also convicted of technical fouls.
You think that's the end of it? Not yet. Just on November 6 of this season, the Pistons once again faced the Nets, and the two men were once again "barded" in a position-grabbing struggle, but this time the conflict was more extensive.
Stewart said that Griffin fell and stood directly in front of him to provoke, making Griffin unable to stand up normally, and then the referee immediately stepped forward to stop it, which was calmed. This is the second time the two have clashed, I don't know if there will be a third time!
Think about it, Stewart is a second-year rookie player, and he dared to challenge old seniors like Griffin and James, and indeed had two shots. The so-called newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, I don't know which big guy player Stewart will challenge next time?
