It’s not accidental, why did the Pacers Bucks have a conflict after the game? The grudges between the two teams have been exposed for many years!

When the final whistle rang in the last game of the Bucks and Pacers series, the smell of gunpowder on the court did not dissipate with the end of the game, but instead became more and more intense, eventually breaking out into an jaw-dropping scene of conflict.

Antesco, the core of the Bucks, stood alone on the court after the game, with a face full of reluctance and loss. At this time, Halliburton's father walked straight towards him and then began a verbal provocation. At first, Antetokounmpo did not respond, but Connaughton's intervention did not calm the storm. Antetokounmpo eventually went to Halliburton's father. The two shook hands first, and then started a fierce confrontation, with their heads on their heads and refused to give in to each other. The scene was out of control for a while. Fortunately, the staff of both sides arrived in time and separated the two.

And in the post-match hug session of the players, the conflict broke out again. Antetokounmpo and Matherin were originally having a friendly exchange, but I don’t know what Matherin said. Antetokounmpo was suddenly emotional and the two instantly pushed each other, triggering a large-scale conflict. The scene was in chaos and the players gathered around. If it weren't for James Johnson, who had the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt, the conflict would have escalated further.

This series of conflicts is not accidental, but a concentrated outbreak of grudges accumulated by the two teams' multiple encounters in the past two seasons. From the regular season to the playoffs, every encounter between the two sides is full of gunpowder. Last season, Antetokounmpo scored 64 points in a game, setting a single-game scoring record in the Bucks. After the game, the Bucks wanted to retain the ball to commemorate the game, but found that the ball was taken away by the Pacers staff because they wanted to give the ball to the rookie Chibwe who won the first point in the game. This behavior completely angered Antetokounmpo. He and his brother led the Bucks players into the player channel and tried to regain the game ball. The two sides had a verbal conflict.

In addition, in the semi-finals of the midseason championship two years ago, the Pacers eliminated the Bucks and reached the finals, Antetokounmpo's 37 points and 10 rebounds became empty, and Halliburton used Lillard's iconic "dame time" to celebrate the movement after the game, which intensified the conflict between the two teams. Since then, the confrontation between the two sides has become increasingly fierce, and technical fouls and physical conflicts occur from time to time. This season's playoffs, the two teams met again in the first round. Halliburton had verbal conflicts with Lillard many times during the game, and Portis had conflicts with Nesmith, Trent and Siakam.

Now, this series of conflicts has become the focus of the NBA. It not only reflects the fierce competitive relationship between the two teams on the field, but also allows people to see the players' emotions out of control under tremendous pressure. For the Bucks, being eliminated by the Pacers for two consecutive years is undoubtedly a heavy blow; while the Pacers enjoy the joy of victory, they also need to think about how to avoid conflicts from happening again. In future games, we will wait and see whether the two teams can let go of their grudges and show their true sports spirit on the field.
