Fireworks were set off at 3 a.m., and the Warriors were harassed while sleeping! A breakdown of the NBA’s unscrupulous off-the-table moves to win

?In the first game of the Finals between the Raptors and the Warriors, in distant Toronto, the Warriors players received a warm welcome in this Canadian city. However, the timing and effect of this welcome were not ideal. , although the fireworks show at three o'clock in the morning is beautiful, the Warriors players who have traveled a long way are not willing to enjoy it. Just kidding, in fact, in the 72-year history of the league, there are many off-court tricks to interfere with the opponent's players. Because this kind of trick does not violate sportsmanship and does not represent the team's subjective will. It can interfere with the opponent and will not be punished by the league, so why not do it.

In fact, compared with some off-the-table moves in history, the three o'clock fireworks show the Warriors experienced is just child's play. Some teams' off-the-discount moves are even weirder and more effective. They are the real devil's home stadium in the NBA:

1. 2002 Kings-The Horrible Cowbell

In the 2002 playoffs, the home court of the Kings. The home team has prepared a secret weapon for the fans, which is the cowbell. As the name suggests, the cowbell is the bell worn under the cow's neck in American western movies. When shaken, it will make a crisp metal collision sound. This sound alone does not sound like any other. What, but 10,000 or 20,000 fans shaking the cowbell together? Still in a closed, trumpet-shaped place like an indoor basketball court, it is enough to cause temporary deafness to the players on the court. The players on the court can't even communicate verbally, let alone what the coach off the court has to say. This also makes The Kings' opponents complained repeatedly, but the Kings' boss said that this was a display of the passion of the fans. This passion is exactly what the league needs. This passion represents the fans' support for the game and the love of the team... ...

2. Celtics-terrible home court

You will never guess what will happen when the Celtics home court faces the visiting team. It is so crude. The visiting team's locker room, malfunctioning air conditioning, cold showers in the locker room, dilapidated training hall, and of course the most famous one is the floor of the Celtics home court.

The Green Army’s home floor basically has different fixing conditions, softness and hardness. I really admire the patience and perseverance of these floor installers. In this way, even if the away players know that there is a problem with the floor There is nothing they can do, but the Green Army players know this very well. They will deliberately force the visiting team players towards those special areas with problems, causing the opponent to make mistakes when controlling the ball, complete the steal, and start a quick counterattack. This trick is very popular among the Green Army. Tried and true.

3. The air conditioning at the Spurs' home court in 2014

In the first game of the 2014 Finals, the Spurs' home court allowed the Heat, who came from afar, to enjoy the feeling of a stadium sauna. Because a few minutes before the start of the game, the Spurs' air conditioner miraculously "broke down." In June, the closed space and high-intensity confrontation made this game a disaster. The players from both sides and all the fans were in A game was played in a high temperature of no less than 40 degrees. I really admire the perseverance of Spurs fans. At the end of the game, even James, who has always dominated the league with his physical fitness, was so hot that he cramped, which proved how cruel that game was. This air-conditioning time also caused the Spurs to be questioned by the media and opposing fans after the game. But the Spurs public relations silenced the doubters by saying that their players also participated in the game.

4. Fire alarm in Bulls hotel in 1997

In the 1997 Finals, the Bulls came to Utah for an away game. As soon as they arrived at the hotel, they were wildly welcomed by Jazz fans. Making all kinds of noise affects Bulls fans' rest, but compared to Toronto fans who have never seen it before, Utah fans have more innovative ideas, such as fire alarms.

Just when the Bulls fans were about to take a rest, the fire alarm in the hotel where they were staying suddenly went off. The exhausted and tortured Bulls players had no choice but to immediately put on their clothes and run out. It was not until they ran out of the hotel that they realized it was a fire alarm. It was a false alarm, it was just a prank played by Jazz fans to influence them.

5. 1997 Finals.

Jordan was poisoned

It was the Jazz again. In the fifth game of the 1997 Finals, Jordan came to Utah again. Without any warning, he suddenly had a fever before the game. Although Jordan scored 38 points despite the high fever, he won the championship. In the Battle of Tianwang Mountain, after the game, Jordan collapsed on Pippen after collapse, which has become an eternal classic. However, because this high fever is so strange, it leaves a lot of room for everyone to guess, what kind of food has gone bad? It was not until many years later that Jordan's royal trainer mentioned the matter again in the media and said that Jordan at that time was 100% poisoned, but whether the poisoning had already occurred It doesn't matter anymore, after all, so many years have passed.

Of course, in addition to these, there are many other tricks. For example, this season the Clippers deliberately let Beverley anger Durant, destroyed the visiting team’s training hall floor, and Curry’s father-in-law was killed in the 2016 Finals. By mistake, the opening of the Suns' home net was obviously larger than that of other teams. There was no hot water in the visiting team's bathroom after the game. In the 2004 Finals, the Pistons provided expired food to the visiting Lakers. Fans blocked the visiting team's bus and prevented the visiting team from going to the hotel. The Pacers' yellow mosquito-repellent jamming version, Stephenson blowing on James, James deliberately stepping over Green's head, and so on and so forth.

Maybe you can’t think of it, but there is nothing they can’t do.
