In the history of the NBA, whether players can erupt into conflicts on the court is directly related to the intensity of the game and the refereeing standards. From the perspective of fans and spectators, this is something they are happy to see. Competitive sports inevitably involve intense physical collisions, and conflicts are part of the game. Over the past decade or so, the NBA's viewership has been declining, and its attention has also been decreasing year by year. This is directly related to the game style promoted by the NBA officials. In short, there are too many fouls for minor infractions in today's games, and referees have a significant influence on the game! Why were the games so popular in the past? It was because the league style at that time was to let the players decide more problems on the court themselves, encouraging confrontation while making team tactics more diverse! In the past few days, the NBA league has experienced two large-scale conflicts, resulting in a total of 9 people being ejected from the scene and the league issuing eight-game suspension fines so far. Let's first review some famous conflict events in NBA history: Firstly, the most famous conflict event in NBA history is the "Palace Brawl": During a regular-season game between the Pacers and the Pistons in 2024, the Pacers had an advantage in the first half, while the Pistons made a full comeback in the second half. With 45.9 seconds left in the game, Ben Wallace was fouled hard by Artest while making a strong move…

The NBA has been quite eventful recently, with Marshall and Nurkic getting suspended for fighting, the Timberwolves cutting Dozier to save money, and Kings head coach Brown suddenly being fired. These incidents have left the league in disarray, causing fans to shake their heads in disbelief. Marshall may have acted impulsively by fighting, but it was heartwarming to see Irving immediately offer to pay his teammate's fine without hesitation. This kind of behavior from a team leader is indeed touching, especially since there are not many players in the league willing to do so. The atmosphere within the Mavericks seems to be quite positive. Both Irving and Doncic are ball-dominant players, but they seem to get along well in the locker room. Otherwise, Irving wouldn't have been so quick to help out financially. Marshall has been suspended for four games, resulting in a loss of over $230,000. For a player on a minimum salary, this amount is significant. Without Irving's assistance, he would likely be feeling the pain for some time. Nurkic, on the other hand, faces a more awkward situation as Durant has not offered to cover his fine, which amounts to over $370,000. This incident not only caused physical harm but also took a toll on his wallet. The league's decision to penalize the players for fighting is reasonable, as such behavior on the court is indeed detrimental. However, the act of players helping each other pay fines reveals a warm side of the NBA's locker room culture. Although the Mavericks' record is not particularly impressive, the relationships…

Season's Largest NBA Fine: 8-Game Suspension and $700,000 Loss At 1:49 AM on December 29, 2024, the basketball teaching forum reported that in the early hours of December 29th, Beijing time, the NBA handed down its largest fine to date for the season: Mavericks player Marshall was suspended without pay for four games, and PJ-Washington was suspended without pay for one game. Suns player Nurkic was suspended without pay for three games. As a result, Marshall lost 236,000,Nurkic236,000, Nurkic 236,000,Nurkic375,000, and Washington $89,000.

The Suns became the biggest winners because Nurkic was suspended for three games, saving the Suns 700,000.TheSunsbecamethebiggestwinnersbecauseNurkicwassuspendedforthreegames,savingtheSuns1.1 million in luxury tax expenses. Yesterday, the Suns lost 89-98 at home to the Mavericks, and Nurkic and Marshall got into a conflict, with Nurkic slapping and Marshall immediately throwing a punch. The cause was Nurkic swinging his elbow and hitting Gafford, resulting in an offensive foul call. Marshall cursed at Nurkic, who then rushed up and hit him, while Washington directly pushed Nurkic down! Despite Nurkic slapping first, why did Marshall receive more suspensions? The NBA explained that Marshall wanted to further escalate the conflict in the player's tunnel. In slow motion, it can be seen that Marshall's face took a solid slap. Although Marshall's retaliatory punch was fast, it only grazed Nurkic's ear and cheek before being pushed away. Marshall grew angrier and wanted to fight Nurkic again on the way back to the locker room, but fortunately, he was held back and no fight broke…

The Mavericks played with great aggression in this game, maintaining a significant lead in the first half. Even when the Suns closed in during the third quarter, they were still able to maintain their scoring advantage in the final quarter, ultimately defeating the Suns 98-89. It's worth noting that Doncic did not play in this game. Three players had outstanding performances throughout the game. Thompson, after entering the court at a critical moment in the final quarter, played exceptionally well overall. He was able to control both offense and defense, grabbing rebounds and making key plays, finishing with an impressive stat line of 11 points, 6 rebounds, and 5 assists, showcasing his versatility on the court. Gafford also performed well, especially after Nurkic was ejected, as he stepped up and contributed 16 points, 5 rebounds, and 2 blocks, exerting good pressure on the interior. Kleber took control of the situation in the closing moments, scoring on offense and making steals and free throws on defense, exploding on both ends of the court, becoming the ace in the hole for this match. Irving, Dinwiddie, PJ, Marshall, and Powell all had passable performances. Irving's biggest issue in this game was missing shots; he started off well in the first quarter but struggled to maintain his accuracy, ending with a 6-for-21 shooting record. However, he must assert himself on the court, whether it be through defense or ball handling, and use his excellent ability to draw defenders to help stabilize the team's advantage. Additionally, Irving's plus-minus rating wasn't bad. Dinwiddie's main problem in…

On December 28th, Beijing time, the NBA witnessed a wild brawl that was anything but festive, with players throwing punches and engaging in a street-style brawl! With the Chinese New Year approaching, the NBA saw a peak matchup at the end of 2024, featuring the Mavericks against the Suns, both teams boasting at least two superstars. Even with Doncic's injury, the game remained intense. However, with 9 minutes and 2 seconds left in the third quarter, a heated conflict erupted on the court, leading to an all-out brawl. The score stood at 60:44 when Nurkic and Marshall began to clash, each sizing up the other. After two consecutive rounds of minor skirmishes that went unchecked by the referees, the tension escalated. Nurkic committed another offensive foul, elbowing Gafford to the ground in a move that seemed particularly aggressive. Frustrated by the call, Nurkic got up and walked away. Seeing his teammate being targeted, Marshall started yelling at Nurkic from a distance. But Nurkic, known for his fiery temper, couldn't stand it and charged towards Marshall, engaging in a fierce verbal exchange. The words quickly turned into action as Nurkic swung his right hand, slapping Marshall across the head. Marshall retaliated immediately, not backing down, with a swift straight punch to Nurkic's face. The blow was fast and hard, visibly reddening Nurkic's face. Washington then joined the fray, pushing Nurkic to the ground with a forceful shove to his waist. Nurkic, upon getting up, was ready to continue fighting but was eventually restrained, falling to the ground in the process. Despite…
