233: Scoundrel, helpless
At the critical moment, the referee blew two fouls on the Heat team in a row, and even David Stern, who was paying attention to this game, was stunned, did the group of referees blow the wrong target?
After seeing that he had a defensive foul, West, who was still in pain just now, stood up again. ◢ With ◢ Dream ◢ Xiao ◢.com but this time West still pretended to rub his nose, not so quickly "exposed". James is angry, an old ball ruffian like West is a scoundrel, you really can't do anything about him.
The most terrible thing is that this kind of scoundrel coach is also a scoundrel!
was whistled for two fouls at the critical moment, and the Heat felt as if they were forcibly fed. But the Pacers fans cheered, after all, in the last game, the Pacers were not just whistled for two fouls at key moments. What else can be more uplifting than a tooth for a tooth and a whistle for a whistle?
West "crookedly" stood at the free-throw line and hit two free throws steadily. At this point, the Heat trailed by 5 points at a critical moment. James had two fouls on his back, Spoelstra also ate a technical foul, and the Heat generals are now starting to relent, and the Pacers are not compromising for victory today! Fight fouls, and the Heat may not be able to beat the Pacers today.
In fact, this kind of thing is not uncommon in this round of the Eastern Conference Finals. On the Pacers' side, it is not the first time that West has "performed on the court", and on the Heat side, James even personally led Battier to "perform on stage". In the first few games against West, James was actually very dishonest, and he didn't know that he thought West would do qigong.
It's just that in the past few games, fake falls only appeared occasionally, and they were far less exaggerated than they are now. But now for the sake of disgusting the league, disgusting the Heat, and also for the sake of winning the game, Henson and the Pacers don't care about exaggeration.
If the fake fall works, then you can fall it for me! If backhand defense can put pressure on the referee, then you're deliberately doing it to disgust the league.
As a result, the Pacers got this 5-point advantage.
At this point, when the Heat went on offense again, James looked a lot more restrained than he had at the beginning. He knows that now it is not a question of whether the referee will give the Heat a whistle, but whether he will be deceived by the Pacers.
James has already committed four fouls, and if there is another foul, the Pacers will surely be committed to getting themselves off the court early.
Now the Heat don't have Bosh, and Wade is exhausted again. If he had been eliminated by the Heat because of 6 fouls, James would certainly not forgive himself.
The game returned to its regular rhythm and Henson minimised the league's impact on the game! Now no one dares to beat the idea of the whistle, only to finish this last section with real knives and real guns!
But when the "body hair whistle" no longer existed, James found it extremely difficult to open up the situation.
Horford is always behind Leonard, and the others don't help when they die, forever staring at their own counterpoint.
James fell into the bag between Leonard and Horford after breaking through this time, he wanted to pass, but found that there was no passing route at all!
Helplessly, James could only stop the ball one step inside the free throw line! This position is very lethal, because if you don't deal with the ball quickly, what awaits James will be a three-second offense!
However, James didn't have a three-second foul in the end, as Leonard poked the ball out of James' hands three seconds before he could attack.
"That scene, it was as if LeBron was back with the Cavaliers." Looking at James's isolated appearance, Miller pouted. Another fourth quarter, without the help of the whistle, can the Heat still win?
Leonard didn't hesitate to poke the basketball away, and directly threw a hard board to the ground, holding the basketball tightly. James was inadvertently tripped by Leonard, but it wasn't a foul.
James lost his center of gravity, leaned back and pressed on Leonard, and couldn't care so much, turning around to grab the ball. At the very least, let's get a chance to scrum for the ball.
But Leonard didn't give James a chance, he immediately passed the ball out, and the target was Paul, who came to pick it up!
"Damn it!" James was furious and tried to get up, but because his body was entangled with Leonard, he tripped again as soon as he got up.
Of course, Leonard didn't mean to "wrestle" with James on the floor. caused James to fall for the second time, and it was indeed unintentional.
Two fouls in a row, and now another mistake to concede the ball. Can James not be in a hurry? Wade was also in a hurry, so he went straight to Paul.
If it had been a few years ago, Wade might have been able to repeat that iconic risk. But now, dragging a pair of torn knees, Wade can't catch up with Paul.
He could only watch Paul go into the box and make a light layup. If Wade rashly stretches out his hand, he will only give the other party a chance to add two plus one.
On the basketball court, Paul had no friends.
With a 7-point difference, Spoelstra's heart is beating faster and faster. Also nervous was David Stern, as well as the referee on duty. But in the face of a fast-break layup, the referee just didn't dare to give the Pacers an offensive foul no matter how bold he was.
Heat vs Thunder, James vs Durant drama, can't be ruined like this!
So, after a few rounds of stopping, the Heat's whistle returned. Wade drove to the basket and George threw his arms up all the way. But this still can't escape the fate of being blown by the referee, Wade goes to the free throw line!
The huge boos in the Consec arena put pressure on the referee, but he had to complete the task given to him by the league! Although the rules of basketball are clearly stipulated, in the ever-changing sport, the referee always has the final say. That's why, there will be so-called "blow-it-or-not-blow" balls. Therefore, no matter how dissatisfied the fans are, the referee must stand his ground.
Henson didn't bother to scold, and the vicky who should be scolded was done for himself. And now that the Pacers are 7-point ahead, they have enough capital to take on the Heat's whistle! Henson still doesn't believe it, this can be killed by the Heat's free throws!
Two free throws and two hits, "The Flash" did not let go of this opportunity to save the team. But soon, the Pacers disrupted the Heat's defense with a quick offense.
After receiving the baseline ball, Paul made a long pass directly before crossing the halfcourt line, and the basketball flew through the crowd, and when people reacted, the ball had been picked up by Paul George outside the three-point line!
The Heat couldn't pull back, and they were dragged to exhaustion by the Pacers in the first three quarters. Even James was tired from the continuous wheel battles.
George broke through for a layup, and Chalmers grabbed the high-flying No. 24. That's right, it's just hugging. Because if it's just a light push, George has a good chance of playing 2+1!
The whistle blew again, and the game was interrupted again. was originally a wonderful Eastern Conference Finals tie-break, but in the end it was interrupted by fouls.
"It was an ugly game." Reggie Miller's partner Jeff Van Gundy commented.
At the free-throw line, George also responded with two free throws and two hits. Paul said it well, it's the players who control the game!
Twenty seconds later, the Pacers' offense was back. Paul looked like he was about to break through, and Chalmers was ready to fall if he touched it.
However, Paul did not go on a rampage like in the previous game. He suddenly made a sudden brake and hoisted the ball to West. The referee had already picked up the whistle, but Paul didn't touch Chalmers at all, and the offensive foul would definitely not blow this time.
James' Adam's apple slid up and down, and he swallowed. What's this guy doing next, West? Still want to foul? If he dares to move, James promises that he will ask for an offensive foul first!
The game has completely turned sour, and both sides have to think about not only the normal attack and defense, but also the whistle.
However, West didn't make any unnecessary moves, and "The 17-Foot Assassin" passed the ball to the top of the arc. There, Al Horford is already in place. Joe Anthony? This guy is being blocked by Leonard's cover!
Horforda hit a three-pointer steadily, and the Pacers' offense couldn't have been cleaner! Reggie Miller takes a look at the statistics again, and the Pacers' three-point shooting rate tonight is approaching 50!
The margin became 10 points, and Spoelstra had to call a timeout. With 7 minutes to go, the 10-point difference is already dangerous!
At the same time, Pat Riley is also anxious! Because the Heat team has already started to pre-sell tickets for the Finals, if the Heat don't move the score back in the last 7 minutes, it will be a big problem!
Of course, David Stern's face is not good-looking, after all, there is also a part of the league in pre-selling tickets. And he's done all the Thunder vs Heat publicity below. The Pacers advance, which means that all the publicity has to be torn down and redone!
The gray-haired Vicky smiled and held a glass of red wine, and the Pacers' clean shooting opportunities through fast transmission made the old man who was framed by the whistle very happy.
"I'm glad the Pacers coach is a bastard like me." Vicky muttered and took a sip of his wine.
Now, the league and the Heat should know what it's like to be deflated. Those who suffer losses can't always be the disadvantaged.
