The Eastern Conference semifinals between the Milwaukee Bucks and the Brooklyn Nets were inflamed, and in the middle of the third quarter, p.j. Tucker angrily sprayed Durant while defending Kevin Durant. At this time, a dark shadow rushed out and pushed Tucker away.
According to the athletic reporter Joe Waden, the security who suddenly appeared on the court to push Tucker will be "banned" by the league, and he will not be able to appear at the Home of the Bucks or the sidelines of the Nets' home court in this series.
The security guard, named Anjuan Lambert, is reportedly 35 years old and is the personal bodyguard of Nets star Durant. Teams hire individual security guards for their star players, which is very common in the NBA, but it may be the first time in history that security guards come into contact with opposing players directly.
In response, Bucks head coach Budenholzer also expressed his opinion: "Frankly, at that intense moment, I didn't know who that guy was or who he was related to, it could be the security of the Fei zhe forum, the security of the Bucks, the security of the Nets, and later I knew that he was the security of the Nets, and at that moment, you knew that people came to try to relegate the conflict, not to let things get out of control, not to rush, not to escalate the situation." ”
Bucks bench inside Portis said: "It's crazy, he attacked Tucker and pushed him, usually, security will step in between the two sides, separating people, he may have crossed the line indeed." ”
Tucker and Durant clashed when they hit 4:21 in the third quarter of g3, when Durant's mid-range jumper caused Tucker to foul him, and Tucker began complaining to the referee. After the two verbally clashed, Tucker rushed up, and the two kissed almost face to face. In the end, the referee gave each of the two a technical foul, and the Milwaukee home stadium began shouting "fuck kd".
In order to prevent players from clashing and fighting on the field, the NBA has made quite strict rules for so many years. It is reasonable to say that only the stadium security personnel are eligible to enter the stadium to prevent the conflict, if the players clash on the field, even the substitute players of the two sides are prohibited from entering the field, otherwise they will face fines and bans, not to mention the personal bodyguards of the stars.
If this happens again in the future, the alliance will definitely punish it more severely.
