With the Pacers and Lakers 2:29 left in overtime, James approached the referee and said the sideline fans were verbally abusing him with words and gestures. Wei Shao also came to communicate with the referee and confirmed James's words. On-site security expelled two fans, a man and a woman, from the scene.
This female fan played a lot, and made a crying face when she left the court, mocking James again. Old Jan said after the game: "These indecent gestures and vulgar language should not appear in the stadium, this is intolerable, whether he is a fan or a player. ”
So what exactly did this female fan say? Fans at the scene said on social media that the deported female fans cursed brownies: "I hope brownies die in a car accident!" Brownie is XX raised! The security guard had warned her twice before, but the woman was still unforgiving.
If it is true that the fan said, this female fan has not been wronged at all! James has restrained enough that when others curse and insult their sons, most men will probably do it.
You should remember last season's playoffs, right? Philadelphia played at home against the Wizards, and Westbrook was injured in the game and returned to the locker room, where a home fan in the stands threw popcorn at him. Wei Shao was directly angry, three or four staff and security personnel quickly pulled him, if it were not for everyone's persuasion, the fan would definitely have been beaten...
Wei Shao said at the time: "I don't know which fan did it, but this kind of thing is too disgusting, too disrespectful to the players." James, Durant, Artest and other players have stepped forward to support Wei Shao, Artay said: "Popcorn smashing people is not painful, but this behavior is very disrespectful to players!" If it were me, I would definitely rush into the audience! ”
Coincidentally, in the Knicks home series against the Hawks, Trae Young spat at him with his back to the audience. When the Jazz played against the Grizzlies at home, three Jazz fans made a rude move toward Morant's mother. The three teams responded urgently: the fans were disqualified from their season tickets and banned from the stadium for life.
The infamous Auburn Hill incident also sparked a massive conflict between a fan named John Green and throwing a drink at Artest. John Green was not only banned for life, but was also sentenced to 30 days in prison by the police. How many players did that clash change? The Pacers would have had a chance to go further in the playoffs...
Some fans not only provoke trouble, but also beat a rake. In the 2018-19 season, Jazz home fans attacked Westbrook with racist remarks: "To get down on my knees like you used to!" Wei Shao did not instigate, directly scolded back: "I'll f**k you up. You and your wife.”
The fan was placed at home for life at the Jazz, and Westbrook was fined $25,000 by the league. Why is he said to be a rake? The male fan sued Westbrook and the Jazz for $68 million in damages, and his girlfriend demanded $32 million in mental damages, totaling $100 million! In May, the lawsuit was dismissed by the court.
Why do these fans dare to provoke and insult the players on the pitch? Because they know the players won't do it. If you walk down the street, you can scold Wei Shao or throw popcorn at him. Some fans did not come to the scene to watch the game, but only to vent their emotions and dissatisfaction.
Whether the female fan of the Pacers will be punished later, we will wait for further information.
