Chapter 750: The Man Who Ruined the NBA

"It's the most disgusting game I've ever seen, in every way, for any Heat fan, this game is an absolutely unacceptable thing in their lives, we thought we would lose, this is the NBA's tie-break game, this is one of the two strongest teams in the NBA, the Hawks are fourth in the East, they are strong In fact, the Heat played 3-3 with the Hawks in the first six games, and that's exactly what we thought we would lose, because in this case, There is no problem for any team to win the game at the end."

"And if we really end up losing in a decent game, not only will we not end up shouting that it is unfair, we will send our most sincere wishes, just like last season when we lost to the Boston Celtics in the second round, the Boston Celtics are better than us, they have no problem winning, they played better than everyone, so we have been supporting the Boston Celtics last season, even if at that time everyone in the United States was talking about the Grizzlies, they were talking about the Spurs"

"What I want to say now is that we lost this game, we didn't give ourselves bad, we didn't lose to the opponent's strength, we actually gave the damn referee in the end, his decision affected everything"

'It was the worst penalty I've ever seen, I never thought our team would get 36 fouls in a game, and I never thought Alonzo would play just 28 minutes in a foul game. I also never thought that Mourning, who had been forced to play with five fouls and was forced into the court with half of the fourth quarter remaining, was actually sent off in just one round, and everyone could see on the TV that Alonzo did nothing."

"Josh Howard's performance is outstanding, when Mourning and Richardson were out for a long time due to foul troubles, the Heat has maintained a slight lead over the Hawks on the 30 points in this game, and the final foul outside the three-point line is not to blame him, that is the first time in more than 20 years that I have seen the referee blow a shooting foul outside the three-point line when there are 0.1s left in the final moments of the game, did Josh touch LeBron? Slow motion showed that there was no touch, and Josh's defensive moves were clean. But in the end, the referee still blew the penalty, which was a complete mistake."

"I was thinking, according to the rules of the NBA where the final game is decided by the players. Even if Josh touched LeBron James slightly at this time, the referee shouldn't blow the penalty at this time, has everyone forgotten Reggie Miller's stunner against Jordan? I don't know why this game is like this, Donaghi? I know, he's a young referee, the NBA has been praising him in recent years, this is a stupid guy, when he gave the Hawks 38 free throws in this game, this guy has replaced Zielinski as the Heat's most hated NBA referee, this guy controlled this game, maybe we should complain to the NBA about David Stern, this guy definitely has a problem, I would believe that the NBA is clean, but I don't believe Donaghi is clean, this guy sucks”

Controversy. Perhaps one of the most controversial killouts in NBA history. The Hawks finally defeated the Heat 69-68 with James's three free throws of a three-point foul at the last moment, and the three-point free throws at the last moment may be the first time in NBA history, and the Heat's more than 30 fouls and 38 free throws in this game made the referee Donaghi the focus of everyone for a while, you know, the Heat only scored 69 points in this game, and they scored 30 points on 38 free throws, And that's not to mention the number of fouls that have caused damage and attrition to Heat players.

It can be said that this game is a partial whistle in the absolute sense, and the stage of this partial whistle is still the home court of the Heat, that is to say, Donaghi gave the Hawks 38 free throws on the road, which may also be the first time in NBA history, in the NBA, the home whistle exists, and there will definitely be, otherwise no one will fight desperately for home court advantage, but this game not only did not have a home whistle but also an away whistle, and this is also the reason why the Miami media and Miami fans were angry after the game, It's extremely unacceptable to see an opponent on your own side of the pitch being taken care of by the referee and losing so much, when in fact, almost all the Miami media and fans are expressing their displeasure in various ways after the game.

For this game related to his opponent in the next round, Zhuang Fei is naturally extremely concerned, and the process of this game Zhuang Fei has been very calm, especially after seeing that the referee who keeps blowing the whistle is Donaghi, and Zhuang Fei also knows a little about this referee who almost ruined the NBA, in fact, Zhuang Fei has always paid attention to this guy, this league's highly praised referee was still very good before this year, and it can be said that he is a very good referee, although some games respond to questions, But it's not a big problem.

It's just that after 2003, that is, after the start of this season, this guy has a lot of problems in many games, and it seems that he has completely changed a person, and for most people, the NBA referee is difficult to notice, even if someone complains that the referee is wrong in a game, but after a day in this game, no one will mention it, because the NBA game is too fast-paced, who gives you time to discuss a game all the time? It's just obvious that the regular season and the playoffs are different, even if the regular season is blown away, it will be lost, and there is no question of elimination, so no one mentions it again after the matter fades away a day, but in the playoffs, this is a direct elimination of people, which will not be forgotten, especially not by the opposing fans and media.

And in fact, there must be a problem with this game, and this guy doesn't have much experience, whether it is more than 30 fouls by the Heat or nearly 400 free throws by the Hawks, it can be said that it is completely biased to the side of the Hawks, which is also to let Green, who watched the game with Zhuang Fei, stomp his feet angrily, I am afraid this is also the most unacceptable game he has ever seen, Green is not a Heat fan, nor is he an Hawks fan, he still has a very good relationship with James, But even so, he is extremely disgusted as a basketball coach for such a game, but whether he is disgusted or not, the result after this game cannot be changed, although in the eyes of many people, the Heat lost very unjustly, including Zhuang Fei also thinks so, James's performance in this tie-break is not good, 22 of the 39 points in the game are free throws, and the shooting rate is only 7 of 29.

It can be said that the performance is quite bad, as a rookie, the first time to participate in the tie-break game, such a bad performance is understandable, and it is precisely because of James's not so good performance and the offensive slump of the Hawks team that Donaghi, who needs the Hawks to win, constantly appear brainless judgments, to some extent, it is the Hawks and James who forced him to show his original form so that he did not hesitate to blow a nonsensical three-point foul in the end.

Of course, for the league and for David Stern, everyone knows that this is an extremely conceited person, no matter what the outside world is noisy about shouting that his referee has a problem, but the president who has always been very conceited about himself and very protective of his referee has denied all these doubts, although in the end, under the strong questioning of the Miami media, the president admitted that the foul that James beat the Heat in the end was a misjudgment, but he directly denied that Donaghi deliberately manipulated the game, and in fact, For the game of basketball, physical contact is a part of the game, and when there is physical contact, what constitutes a foul is all in the hands of the referee.

David Stern said that Donaghi didn't have too many mistakes in the whole game except for the last misjudgment, and others could only accept it even if they were dissatisfied, in this regard, David Stern was extremely biased in favor of Donaghi, and this is understandable, regardless of whether Donaghi manipulated the game or not, if David Stern really made up his mind to investigate, no matter what the final result was, it would cause immeasurable trouble to the NBA, if Donaghi really manipulated the game, the NBA was discredited and did not manipulate the game, the league does not support its own referees enough, which will cause dissatisfaction among all referees, which is a very headache, and the best way is naturally to do nothing.

For the farce of the Hawks in the fourth place in the East and the Heat in the fifth place in the East, the final winner is the Hawks, and there is no such farce for several other matchups, and the fact is just like David Stern explained, he believes in the professional ethics of NBA referees, and most NBA referees do have professional ethics, so there is not much controversy in other games after the results appear.

In the East, in addition to the Celtics and Hawks who advanced in the first round, there was also the Grizzlies, who defeated the Bulls 4-2 in the end, and the young Bulls were beaten by the Grizzlies for two consecutive games after 2-2. Carter averaged 36 points and 15 rebounds per game in two games, absolute top interior data, and more importantly, he froze the young interior Eddie Curry, who performed well in this series, in addition to the Grizzlies, the most attractive third Wizards in the East played the Cavaliers who were sixth in the East, and finally Jordan succeeded in avenging Hardaway, and in the end the Wizards also eliminated the Cavaliers 4-3.

In addition to the Lakers, the second Timberwolves in the West defeated the Trail Blazers led by the two heroes 4-3, the Spurs in the third place in the West defeated the Mavericks in sixth place in the West 4-2, and the SuperSonics in fourth place in the West lost 2-4 to the Raptors in fifth place in the West.

After all the top four in the East and West are produced, the second round of matchups is also automatic, with the Celtics vs. the Hawks, the Wizards vs. the Grizzlies, the Lakers vs. the Raptors, and the Spurs vs. the Timberwolves. (To be continued.) )
