"The league should officially give an explanation, and at the same time he owes Totoro and Team Rocket an apology!" β€”β€”γ€ŠESPN》

It can be seen that when the game ended, all the American media exploded, regardless of whether they were trying to gain popularity; It is for the sake of justice; Or to defend the home team, but it is undeniable that after they fermented again, the heat of the topic has risen to a new height, and now not only the United States, but even the European crooked country on the other side of the world has called to say that it is very relevant to the follow-up of this turmoil.

However, this time the league also did something unexpected to everyone, just after the game ended, the league headquarters in New York issued an announcement saying that the three referees of the game were indeed suspected of gambling, and the league had temporarily removed them from their referee positions, and even asked the FBI to send someone to investigate the matter, and wait until the results of the matter came out to sentence the three referees.

This resolute style frightened a group of people who were ready to watch the lively melon-eating masses, you must know that according to the previous urine nature of the alliance, they are all investigating after the accident, and then at least a day later can an official ambiguous report be released, and then it will take at least a month to qualify the matter, where will it be directly stated that it is our problem like this time? Alliance, they are also people who want to save face, okay.

And judging from the speed of this investigation, it seems that the league started to act as soon as there was a problem in the game, otherwise how could it have collected the evidence so quickly?

"Here, I would like to express my regret for what happened to the Rockets, which inevitably happens in basketball, and at the same time, our league has an unshirkable responsibility for poor regulation."

Xiao Hua said with a serious face while wearing glasses.

"But I want to make it clear here that there is absolutely no game manipulation in the league's top management, we will never signal the referee to make a subjective unfavorable decision against a team at some moment, this is a fair and open league, the player is the protagonist on the court, these three referees and Donahy, the referee who enforced the game between the Kings and the Lakers in '02, are in the same situation, what they do is all personal interests, not to follow anyone's orders, They ended up in prison, which can only be said to be their own fault, and have nothing to do with other people or organizations. ”

Xiao Hua clarified at the press conference in a serious manner, although the person who can believe his words must be a fool, and he himself has a bit of a meaning of three hundred taels of silver here, but just like Xiao Hua said in the first sentence, the game has been played, and it has caused an established fact, what else can you change? Only here to hypothetically express regret, the NBA has never been a replay, there are too many uncertain factors, and a replay will not be a completely fair method, but the NBA is not without precedent for replaying due to referee misjudgment, just last season, in the last 52 seconds of the game between the Heat and the Hawks, due to the referee's misjudgment to record someone else's foul on O'Neal, resulting in O'Neal being ejected for 5 fouls, and finally the Heat also lost the game, and the Heat appealed to the league after the game, In the end, the league decided that the two sides were replaying the final 52 seconds.

But this will be different, first of all, it is the playoffs, and there are too many misjudgments in this game, if there is a replay, I am afraid that it will have to be counted from the first quarter, even if the league decides so, Totoro does not want to play an extra away game in Los Angeles.

"Well, I saw this news, I will play in the sixth game, and I have not been banned by the league, and the fans of the Dragonborn Cave Arena have bought tickets to come and watch me play, why don't I play?"

As soon as the announcement from the league came out, some media came over to ask Totoro how he felt, because according to an informant, Totoro seemed to have threatened the referee not to play before being sent off in the fifth game.

"I don't remember saying that."

When Totoro heard this question, of course he denied it, "Maybe I have expressed this meaning, but I will never tell the referee in such a straightforward language, and I was very angry at that time, do you understand what I mean?" It's an away game, those fans have been booing me, your mood is already very irritable, and when you meet a referee involved in gambling, you can imagine how bad your mood is. ”

"Maybe I was too emotional at the time to say the wrong thing, but I never thought about quitting, man, come on, I'm a professional NBA player."

My Neighbor Totoro defended himself, he was indeed too impulsive during the game, but after the game was over, Chinchilla immediately felt that his words were a bit too much, if any lip language expert read his words, and then the league was serious, it would not be good to really ban himself for ten games and eight games, and he also wanted to go to the finals to feel the atmosphere, and by the way, touch the floor over there.

"Rematch? No, our team doesn't need an extra game against the Lakers, the playoffs so far, the gap between our team and them is clear, as long as it's not five people playing eight, they can't beat us on the road, and we'll advance to the Finals there. ”

When asked about the follow-up results of the appeal, Totoro said with great confidence that we don't need the help of the league, as long as they don't mess with themselves, they have the ability to reach the finals on their own.

This remark made Howard in the East tear up, and he also wanted to be as bold as the Rockets, but the team's hard power did not allow him to do that, the Magic did play a good game in the fourth game, but if it wasn't for the referee's whistle in the third game, they might have packed up and gone home by now.

The fifth fierce battle between the Celtics and the Magic team began, the starting lineups of both sides did not change much, they turned over and over these players who could play, and in the first four games, both sides also touched the bottom of the same, and the game was played to this point, and the fight was how the individual players played.

However, today at the Amway Arena, the fate of the Magic seems to have become bad again, and it is strange to say that the basket in the home arena is like going against the Magic in this round of the series, how they shoot and how they shoot, and how the Green Shirts shoot and how they have, and even Rondo, who is about to catch up with the center in three-point ability, scored two three-pointers in the first quarter, which can make Big Van Gundy shatter his eyes.

Howard can still shine in this game, since the third game played confidently, a single Perkins and Davis are actually strictly speaking can not prevent this monster that broke through the cage, but the problem is that the two big fat men can't prevent it, but it can still be done to kill Howard, in the first quarter, the happy beast stood on the free throw line a total of 12 times, and only hit the pitiful two balls, in addition to the previous incredible free throw shooting rate was lost, the eye-catching back single of the monster away from home is also gone, The stiff hook seemed to make people see a normal Howard again, and the Warcraft only relied on the free throw line to score a pitiful two points in the first quarter, and the sports goal was nothing.

On the other hand, on the side of the Green Shirts, Garnett shot 4 of 4, Pierce shot 4 of 5, Ray Allen shot 3 of 5, Rondo shot 2 of 4, and the Celtics shot 13 of 18 in the first quarter, and the whole team scored 34 points in a single quarter and entered the second quarter with a 20-point lead.

Poor Magic fans, no one can understand their inner despair at the moment, originally they had no hope for the team, some disappointed fans tore up or lost their tickets, but who would have thought that the Magic could really bring the game back to Orlando, and in the case of a 2-2 draw, those fans rekindled hope, the fans who lost the tickets picked up the trash cans again, and the fans who tore the tickets re-used their ID cards to buy another one, But who knew that after a lot of effort, the water moon mirror was empty, and his meow's magic was spent by the Celtics in a section of time.

I remember the first game of the East Finals, they were the last game at the end of the third quarter, and the second game of the East Finals, they were the last game at the end of the second quarter.

I hate those guys who don't fight for it, if you let yourself lie down like a salted fish all the time, it doesn't matter if you mourn more than your heart dies, anyway, it doesn't matter if people are numb, but you just kill yourself first, then save yourself, and now kill yourself, isn't it fun? Are these bastards playing with them, hey!

After the game, there was no after, Howard's bold words after the end of the fourth game, now all of them have become the fans to slap him in the face, at that time, not only Totoro was not able to see it, even many fans were unhappy with the rampant Warcraft, but at that time Howard was still the winner, so no one dared to say anything about him, but at this moment, he will succeed in replacing Da Van Gundy after the game to become the primary target of criticism from fans and the media, in this regard, Da Fan Bald is still silently grateful to Warcraft in his heart, Is this own core to stage an NBA version of Wei Wei to save Zhao for him?

In the second quarter, the third quarter, the Celtics have always maintained a gap of about 20 points, the Magic everyone saw that the general trend had gone, Van Gundy also replaced all the starters to announce the loss of the game, in charge of this year's East Finals and West Finals two playoffs, no matter which group of matchups, the team's strength gap on the books is too big, the East does not need to say anything, the healthy Big Three have almost no natural enemies in the Eastern Division, no matter how many times the Cavaliers trade to strengthen, the team will always be LeBron James's team, And magic is roughly like this, heroes are invincible with two fists and four hands, and no matter how much their personal ability is against the sky, they can't beat the three old guys who form a team.

In the West, the Rockets have risen to prominence, and then they have left all other teams behind, whether it is the old Spurs Lakers or the young Trail Blazers Hornets, the Chinchilla has shown people a new possibility of player development, a strong man close to seven feet can actually play like a point guard, he is very similar to Durant's body shape, but Totoro is dribbling, shooting percentage, and interior breakout, In terms of killing, these aspects are four or five notches better than Durant, who entered the league a year earlier, and many coaches wonder how this kind of player should defend? Although Garnett used to dribble and fight with the guard, you must know that the Wolves have no three-point ability, and he shot 174 of 632 three-pointers in the regular season in his career, with a shooting rate of 27.5%, and 15 of 55 three-pointers in the playoffs, with a shooting rate of 27.3%.

He looks like he can play in all five positions, but he can't defend any of the five positions, is it true that this kind of player will not be able to solve in the future?

However, it is precisely because of such a big gap between the east and the west that the phenomenon of referees madly dominating the game this year will occur, otherwise this series will not be able to watch at all, just like when the little emperor led the team to the finals but was swept by the Spurs 4-0, which neutral fan is willing to watch this kind of ball? Anyway, after waking up, it's a big win, who has the time to pay attention to this process.

The Magic finally lost the game 82-105, Garnett scored 23 points and 13 rebounds in the whole game, Pierce scored 25 points, Ray Allen scored 29 points, and the Big Three combined for 77 points, 25 rebounds, 22 assists, 5 blocks and 6 steals, compared to the original Howard who was originally highlighted in this game, only 6 of 23 shots under Reaves' package tactics, contributing 16 points, 13 rebounds, 3 blocks and 7 turnovers. Even at the post-game press conference, Howard did not attend due to physical discomfort.

These NBA reporters won't let go of Warcraft like Kobe, Kobe is respectable, and there is really nothing dark about basketball, but they came here today to watch Warcraft jokes, and now their best news material has long legs, and they can still give up? Let him run away, what will he eat?

If you appeal to the Alliance, you will be greeted by a fine check ranging from $10,000 to $50,000, but this is not a big problem for the wealthy Warcraft, after all, he is a strong man with 8 illegitimate children.
