"Damn!"

Howard was a little frustrated by Harden's foul, but he didn't take it to heart, before that, he had successfully stopped Harden's offense several times, and successfully caught up with the score, and a mistake was nothing.

Harden hit one of two free throws, and then the Magic team hit a three-pointer to overtake the score.

But before the Magic players could celebrate, Harden came again.

Harden, who has become accustomed to Nelson's defense, doesn't even need his teammates to help block and dismantle, just an acceleration disguise, and uses his power to easily squeeze Nelson into the interior.

And in front of him is still Howard.

Looking at this scene in front of him, Van Gundy's face on the bench changed greatly.

"Not good!"

But it was too late.

The last time he was fouled by Harden, Howard was slightly unconvinced, and he even took two steps forward and took the initiative to meet Harden.

But this time, the two had just approached, and before he could touch Harden, Harden threw the ball into the sky with both hands, and his whole body seemed to hit a wall, lying on his back to the ground.

"Squeak——! At the same time as the whistle blew, Howard froze.

"Damn! It was put on the table! ”

Van Gundy's face turned blue and he jumped up from his seat like a spring.

"Fake fall! Referee, that's a naked fake fall! ”

The Magic team has been chasing points before, so Van Gundy didn't immediately realize that the other party actually wanted to make Howard foul.

If this foul is also blown, Howard's cumulative fouls will also reach 4 times, the NBA's rules are 6 fouls off the court, and in the case of accumulating 4 fouls, as an inside player, Howard has the possibility of being sent out at any time in the next game, and with 4 fouls on his back, Howard's actions on the court will be greatly restricted, and many times he will be timid, and it will be difficult to play his full strength!

Because of this, Van Gundy reacted very violently, he rushed directly to the referee in two steps, and loudly accused Harden.

"Referee, this is a very unsportsmanlike behavior, I suggest you blow the foul of the opponent's fake fall player!"

The referee glanced at Van Gundy and ignored him.

After coaching the NBA for many years, many referees have a lot of intersections with old coaches, and they know very well what these head coaches are, if it is a penalty that is beneficial to their players, it doesn't matter what it is, but if it is a penalty that is unfavorable to their own side, these guys can say that white is black.

Whether Harden faked a fall, the referee is not sure, because from his point of view, it was indeed Howard who knocked down Harden, and the linesman did not make a sign that Harden faked a fall just now.

Relying on Van Gundy's words alone is absolutely impossible to use as evidence of the opponent's fake fall.

It is even more impossible to look at the replay to determine that at this time in the league, there are only two situations to judge the penalty by watching the replay video, one is to confirm whether the shot was valid in the final minute of a game.

The other is to confirm that any foul action made in the final minute of a quarter counts.

Other of the more controversial fouls were decided after watching the footage before deciding the penalty after 12 years of gradual revisions and additions to the league's replay rules.

And even in 2019, there are still many controversial decisions that have not been changed in real time.

At the moment, since it is impossible to determine that the opponent is faking a fall, there is no doubt that the penalty is a defensive foul on Howard.

After the decision was made, the referee ignored Van Gundy, who was chattering beside him, and walked straight onto the pitch.

Now Van Gundy was furious.

"Hey! Are you blind? That's obviously a fake fall! You deserve an Oscar for him! By the way, I'll give you one too! It's like acting! ”

Van Gundy, who was angry with the referee, followed the pace of the referee into the court.

Seeing this, the referee did not hesitate to blow the whistle immediately.

"Squeak——!

Looking at the referee who blew him a T in front of Van Gundy, Wang Xiao was happy.

Stan. Van Gundy has a hot temper, which is almost a well-known thing in the league, and Wang Xiao didn't expect that this guy would actually run to the court to spray the referee because of a controversial decision.

In the 09-10 season, in order to purify the atmosphere of the NBA, Stern has begun to draft the relevant regulations of the "zero tolerance" system, and in October 2010, the "zero tolerance" system will be officially introduced.

Although the "zero tolerance" system has not yet been implemented, Stern has mentioned such ideas to the referee union more than once, and now these referees are all very good, and it is no longer the time for the coaches to curse and dare not fight back.

The off-court personnel were whistled for technical fouls and will execute two free throws and one throw, that is, after two free throws, the ball is still on the Wizards' side, plus a foul made by Harden before, the Wizards directly got four free throws, and also had offensive possession.

Harden made free throws, then made 3 of 4 free throws, and the score was overtaken again, and the ball was still on the Wizards' side.

The even better news was that after being blown a T, Van Gundy, who forced his composure, replaced Howard, who had committed four fouls.

Then in the case of another dead ball, Wang Xiao also replaced Harden off the court.

Harden started this game, he has been on the court for a long time, and the continuous impact on the basket just now is also quite a physical drain on him.

The Magic team did not have Howard, and the Wizards replaced Harden, and the strength of the two teams seemed to have reached a balance point.

For the remainder of the third quarter, the two teams played back and forth, with the Wizards holding a slight advantage.

When the game entered the fourth quarter, the main forces of both sides began to return, and Howard appeared on the court, looking at the opposite combination of Haywood and Jordan Jr., and was speechless for a long time.

In this game, he played really aggrieved.

Not only is he plagued by fouls, but he also has to wrestle with these two muscle sticks all the time.

Although Howard is not afraid of them, he is also confident that he can have the upper hand or even win the battle with these two.

But these two people are really annoying!

Howard, who has already committed 4 fouls on his back, has to be careful to foul every moment in the battle with Haywood Jordan Jr., which makes Howard feel extremely irritable.

In a trance, I even felt like facing the Lakers' twin towers in the finals last year.

Compared with the Lakers' twin towers, the Wizards' two interior lines are more than a little bit worse in ability, but they are much more annoying than the Lakers' twin towers.

"Damn it! Watch me blow you up! ”

(Some people in the book review say that I said Howard too strongly, I think it's okay, if Duncan Garnett, Gasol, Yao Ming, these top interior players and Howard are opposite, they will definitely not write like this, and now Howard in my article is opposite Haywood and Jordan Jr., a blue-collar center, a super blue-collar who has not yet grown up, and has won the best defensive player for two consecutive years (currently written in the 10th season, Howard in the 11th season is the best defensive player in three consecutive years), three-time rebounding king and two-time blocking king, Howard, who claims to be able to replace James alone, can't even beat these two people, that's too exaggerated, right? ）
