There are two famous whistlers in the NBA called Crawford, one is the famous "bald" Crawford, that is, Joseph Joy Crawford. The prestigious NBA Golden Whistle is the most famous referee in the NBA after Dick Bavita.

There are many stories about this white Crawford, the most famous being the fact that he sent Duncan, who was sitting on the bench to hide his laughter, for an inexplicable trick. However, the 64-year-old has officially retired in March this year.

And another golden whistle Crawford is the black referee Crawford who is on the field today - Danny Crawford, compared to the "bald" Crawford, Danny Crawford's fame is not small at all.

As a veteran of the NBA, this year marks Danny Crawford's 31st NBA season. So far in his career, Crawford has played more than 2,000 regular-season games and more than 300 playoff games. In addition, he has been involved in the NBA Finals for 23 consecutive years, and he is the most referee in the NBA Finals since 1975.

But such an experienced and high-level referee played the "villain" on the court today.

Crawford's shrill whistle undoubtedly angered the crowd.

The honest man Hornacek couldn't help it, he went straight to the referee and yelled that he had to defend his players' interests, even if it would lead to any punishment for him. His impulsive behavior certainly earned him a technical foul, and the boos from the crowd were even louder.

Hornacek was excited, Spike Lee exploded, and the audience was furious, but Roy was the calmest, and he even took the initiative to pull away Hornacek, who was about to go berserk.

"Coach, give me a little more time and I can control the foul."

Taking advantage of Honacek's efforts, Roy expressed his determination to the head coach that he still wants to keep playing.

Hornacek was still roaring over there, and Roy came to say this, and Honacek, who came to his senses, thought about it for a full three seconds, and hesitated for a moment.

"Are you sure it's okay? Are you sure it's okay? Are you sure it's okay? Hornacek asked three times in a row, and Roy answered in the affirmative.

Roy stayed on the court like this, and to be honest, he did want to continue to fight against James Harden and the NBA's best outside player, and although the foul was not worth it, he calmed Roy's anger. Or, after just a few rounds of fighting, Roy has grown suddenly, he has just mastered Harden's routine and Crawford's scale, and now he is off the court, wouldn't it be too much of a loss?

At this time, the score was 40:45, and the New York Knicks were still five points behind, with five minutes left in halftime.

Roy didn't end up! Seeing that Roy was still on the field, his teammates, and his opponents were stunned, what kind of medicine was being sold in Hornacek's gourd? Was he going to take the risk of letting Roy fight?

It was a real adventure for the Knicks, but it was totally worth it. The team now needs Roy, and Roy needs to continue to play the role of the commander-in-chief of the chasing points, this game Roy fully showed his overall vision and assist ability, the next ball, his breakthrough point again helped Porzingis to shoot a three-pointer, the score is further close to 43:45, Roy's assist number reached 4.

Of course, Harden can't see Roy controlling the overall situation so calmly, the more calm Roy is, the more troublesome the Rockets will be, and Roy in front of him does not look like a player with 4 fouls on his back, his calm and calm makes Harden feel a little scared.

He's a big threat, and Harden is reaffirming that, so he's going to have to get Roy off the court. Sweeping away this threat, he can dedicate his data to his new girlfriend in earnest.

Harden's next offense still found Roy without surprise, the strong Capela covered Rose, Harden flashed Porzingis in one step, and only Roy was left in the box.

Harden secretly rejoiced in his heart, it's this ball, I'll let you get a preparatory diploma first.

The bearded man thought about picking up his pace, but Roy still took that defensive stance that was wise to protect himself, which played into Harden's arms. Harden took his signature European step to collect the ball, and his first step rushed straight towards Roy, don't underestimate Harden, although his height and weight are not top-notch, but his upper body strength is not weak, which is also the key to his repeated "touching porcelain" and completing 2+1, he can always use his body and hands to create all kinds of "illusions".

Seeing that Harden and Roy were about to collide, at this critical moment, Roy suddenly dodged his body, to be exact, Roy had prepared this move from the beginning, after the first three lessons, now he has mastered the principle of Harden's "porcelain Dafa".

The most important thing is his footwork, not his body, as long as he can figure out Harden's footwork, Roy can make a prediction.

Harden is obviously aiming for Roy to make fouls, so even if he is let go, he may not be ready to shoot and make a layup.

If this is the case, seeing Roy dodge himself, Harden's European step is a little directionless, his second step has been taken, and it is obviously too late to make a pass now, Harden can only make a layup, and complete the layup in this chaotic rhythm.

Harden expected that this shot might not go in, but he definitely didn't expect to be blocked by Roy, who flashed Harden, and Roy, who flashed Harden, immediately turned around to chase Harden, his speed was extremely fast, and his bounce was excellent. At this time, the beard was still tidying up his last steps, and his layup was cleanly covered by Roy, a beautiful floor hat.

“O。” The fans immediately erupted in a neat cheer, and Spike Lee exaggerated the ugliness of Harden's "touching porcelain", and they were relieved.

Today, Harden and Roy's battle of wits and courage interspersed the whole court, which is not unexciting. But there can always be one winner left on the court, and Harden is furious, and being blocked by a rookie makes him unbearable. He decided not to play "touch porcelain" anymore, he wanted to use his strength to solve the battle, and immediately, Harden, who received the ball on the sideline, simply made a dry three-pointer and hit it directly, 43:48.

Changed the style of play again? After Harden shot the ball, Roy couldn't help but admire Harden's adaptability and scoring methods, great players always have two sets of play, and Harden is one of them.

Back on the defensive end, Harden no longer chose to defend Roy, and instead used the short and stout Eric Gordon against Roy.

In the face of today's third opposing defender, Roy's choice is still to make a wedding dress for his teammates, this time after he broke through Gordon to attract Ariza, he once again separated the ball from the outside, the beneficiary is still Anthony, his three-point shot is also open, 46:48, the Knicks still do not give an inch, Roy successfully got the fifth assist.

The passionate attack on both sides and the cheering of the audience made Roy gradually enter the state.

He even kind of forgot about the reality of his four fouls.

Assists, assists, and assists, Roy is playing well, and so is Harden on the Rockets' side, although these two shooting guards are not directly opposed, they are more energetic in statistics.

With 23 seconds left in the half, Roy had a staggering double-double of 10 points and 10 assists, while Harden also had 18 points and seven assists.

The last attack of the first half was still given to Roy, at this time the score was 58:59, the Knicks were still one point behind, as long as they scored this offense, the Knicks could complete the score before halftime.

Roy pressed the clock to control the ball, his eyes scanned the court, Anthony was standing on the left side of the three-point line, and Ariza was clinging to him every step; Rose, on the right side of the three-point line, kept running around Harden's defense; Porzingis has already mentioned high and ready to cover Roy at any time; Noah and Capela battled for position in the three-second zone.

Now there are three options for attacking, the first option is to use Porzingis' cover to complete the attack by himself or assist his teammates; The second option is to let the other players retreat to the weak side and let Gordon alone to complete the offense; The third option is the same as before, with himself breaking through the interior to attract Ariza or Anderson to complement the defense, waiting for the opportunity to give the ball to Antony or Porzingis in the open space.

Roy took the third option, because he saw that Ariza was already a bit of a pinch in his own tendency, how smart Roy was, he burst into the gap between Gordon and Ariza, Gordon was immediately left behind by Roy's speed, Ariza also came to make up for the defense as expected, Roy's plan was about to succeed.

But at this juncture, a terrifying beard suddenly appeared in front of him, it was Harden, he actually stood straight on his breakthrough route, observing Ariza's Roy carelessness, he didn't expect that the defensive lazy Harden would appear here and participate in the defense in such a way.

Too late to brake, Harden fell straight out like a brick and fell to the ground hard.

Encountered, Roy's heart suddenly sank, and he suddenly realized something.

The shrill whistle came, and it was Crawford, the Harden "fan" who didn't hesitate to give a foul.

"Offensive foul, white jersey, No. 1."

Oh my God, Roy got 5 fouls......
