Chapter 766 The Story of Tattoo (Third Update!)

The violence was so sudden that no one on the scene could react.

Fortunately, Reeves reacted quickly enough and dodged Ariza's punch.

And after the referee reacted and pushed Ariza away.

Ariza still refused to give up.

"You can't say that!"

Stephenson shouted to Reeves very loudly at this time.

"I can say whatever I want!"

Reeves Jr. responded without any sign of weakness.

"Don't leave if you can, and don't leave after the game is over!"

Ariza pointed at Reeves Jr.

Both sides yelled and cursed from afar.

The referee spent a lot of effort before finally separating the two sides.

The conflict did not escalate further. The referee went to the technical station to watch the video replay, and the players from both sides returned to their respective half-time breaks.

"He can't say that, he can't say that."

Stephenson was still mumbling when he returned to the bench.

Ariza said nothing, but his expression was very angry.

Although Tang Tian didn't know what happened, judging from the reactions of the two, it was Rivers who said something that made Ariza very angry.

But he really couldn't think of what it was.

Greeting parents is generally unlikely to occur in NBA games, but there are greetings to wives. Anthony was greeted back then.

But Ariza is still single.

The referee announced the final penalty after watching the video replay.

Ariza received a first-level flagrant foul, while Reeves received a technical foul.

This is a severe punishment.

Tang Tian's punching Pachulia not only left a psychological shadow on Pachulia, but also made them very sensitive as referees.

They don't want that kind of thing to happen again in the games they officiate.

The game continued on the court, with Ariza and Rivers both reappearing in the game.

Stephenson made an unreasonable mistake on the court and passed the ball directly to the spectators on the sidelines.

Stevens saw it and substituted him.

This kind of nonsensical mistakes is Stephenson's label. Although it has been reduced a lot since coming to the Pelicans, it is still inevitable.

Tang Tian saw Stephenson walking towards the bench and waved to him, gesturing for him to sit next to him.

"What did little Reeves just say?"

Tang Tian was actually quite curious.

Stephenson was so excited in front of him, he should be aware of it.

"He shouldn't have said that."

Stephenson said in a low voice.

Tang Tian also leaned his head.

"He said his brother deserved to die early."

Stephenson whispered.

"Trevor had a brother?"

Tang Tian looked confused when he heard this.

Ariza has been with the Pelicans for almost two years, but I have never heard him mention that he has a younger brother, or that he has had a younger brother or something.

You must know that the two of them spent a lot of time practicing together. When Tang Tian was with the Spurs, even Leonard's father knew about it.

"I also know it accidentally. You should have seen the tattoo on Trevor's body, right?"

Stephenson continued.

Tang Tian nodded.

Everyone played ball together and took a shower together. We saw everything we should see and everything we shouldn't.

Americans like tattoos. In addition to a few good guys like Davis and Jokic, many other members of the Pelicans also have tattoos.

There's nothing surprising about this.

Ariza seemed to have three tattoos. One was on his heart, but he didn't pay much attention to it.

Because his arms and neck were often exposed, he had a deep impression.

On the outside of the biceps of the arm is a gesture of joining hands together, as if praying, and there seems to be some small words below.

There is an angel tattoo on her neck.

These two tattoos have a common meaning, and both have the meaning of blessing. This is relatively common in the NBA, so Tang Tian doesn't pay too much attention to it.

"That's a tattoo for his younger brother. Under the hands, there is his younger brother's name, Taya, and the numbers 1990 to 1996. I have seen it. There is also a tattoo of his younger brother's head on his heart."

When Stephenson said this, Tang Tian knew the general content.

Ariza had a younger brother named Taya, who died when he was 6 years old.

No wonder Ariza was so excited and insulted his deceased relatives. No matter how angry he was, this behavior was inappropriate.

And judging from the location of Ariza's tattoo, he and his brother must have had a good relationship when they were children.

Stephenson then said something more about Taya.

Taya was only 4 years younger than Ariza, and she was not sick. She slipped and fell to death while playing on the balcony.

Ariza was on the court at the time and witnessed his brother's death when he returned.

That was a very big shock to a child who was only 10 years old, watching his loved ones die in front of him.

After that, Ariza realized the shortness of life and his character began to become silent.

He trains hard and plays hard, just like one person living with two people.

After listening to this, Tang Tian felt a lot. It is not easy for a 10-year-old child to get over that kind of tragedy, let alone play in the NBA.

The psychological pressure that Ariza needs to overcome is huge.

After listening to this, Tang Tian suddenly felt disgusted when he looked at Little Reeves.

He thought Reeves was working very hard before, but as one of the few people who knew this story, it was really ugly to use it to attack Ariza.

Stephenson said it very quietly, but the bench was so long, and Davis and Jokic who were doing it around Tang Tian all heard it.

When the main players of both sides returned, the offensive and defensive quality of the Pelicans was improved to a higher level than in the first quarter.

With this kind of offensive and defensive quality, the Clippers are obviously unable to withstand it.

At the end of halftime, the Pelicans had opened the point difference to 15 points at 55-40.

The conflict between Reeves and Ariza became a turning point in the game.

Returning from the second half, Rivers saw something was wrong and replaced Redick with Lou Williams as the starter.

But this strategy didn't work.

During the halftime break, although they didn't say it in front of Ariza, they passed the ball one by one and everyone else in the Pelicans knew about Ariza.

This made them so angry that they played even more fiercely in the second half than in the second quarter.

Williams is in good form, and Griffin is scoring from time to time in the paint.

But the performance of the two of them was a drop in the bucket. The quality of the Pelicans' offensive and defensive performance in this quarter was definitely playoff level.

As a result, the Pelicans beat the Clippers 40-25 in the third quarter!

At the end of the three quarters, the Pelicans had stretched the point difference to more than 30 points, turning the last quarter into garbage time!

In the last quarter, both sides came on the bench.

Tang Tian saw little Reeves on the opposite side and took the initiative to get up and walk to Stevens' side.

"Brad, I want to hit you more."

Tang Tian didn't say anything more and spoke directly.

Stevens looked up at the score and was stunned for a moment, but nodded.

Tang Tian was a little excited tonight, so it would be okay to hit him more.

There was no dead ball on the field. Tang Tian looked at Reeves on the field and slowly walked to the technical table.
