044: Unprecedented change of referee tactics
March 30, Motorsports Capital, Basketball City, Indianapolis.
RCA Dome Stadium sits without absence.
When Shay stood in the arena to warm up, he couldn't believe what was happening in front of him.
You know, the RCA Dome stadium is bigger than the NBA team's game arena.
Take the local NBA team, the Pacers, for example, whose home arena, Market Square, has a capacity of less than 20,000 people.
The RCA Dome Stadium can accommodate 60,000 people!
And, the scene was all full!
Now Shay is facing three times the number of spectators and three times the shouts of NBA games!
That's probably the super popularity of the NCAA Final Four.
Indianapolis residents are already obsessed with basketball, so it's easy to fill a gymnasium of 60,000 people.
And among these 60,000 people, there are also many big names.
For example, Knicks star Patrick Ewing and this season's championship favorite Mike Joe!
Jordan is going to play the Pacers tomorrow, so he stopped by to watch the Final Four battle of his alma mater.
Ewing worked harder, and after watching the game today, he had to fly back to New York overnight to prepare for tomorrow's game.
But in front of his alma mater, it was all worth it.
Besides, maybe only the Golden Club will make Ewing so lingering.
After seeing Ewing on the big screen, most of the Georgetown players were in high spirits.
Ewing is the spiritual equivalent of a spiritual pillar for most people.
But Shay sighed when he saw Ewing.
It's a pity, it's a pity, why didn't the final four games be played in Atlanta?
If we play in Atlanta and win, Captain Orangutan will definitely take us to experience what it's like to be an adult!
Hey, playing in this broken corn field, I have to output hundreds of millions less tonight.
Ewing and Jordan also faded from their professional roles today, wearing T-shirts and baseball caps in the colors of their alma maters.
Shout out with all the fans in the stands.
The appearance of Ewing and Jordan also made the atmosphere of the big war even stronger.
The last time Georgetown and North Carolina went head-to-head in an official game, Jordan started his legendary journey with a stunner.
It was also one of the most famous killouts in NCAA history.
After all, it was a stunner who decided the championship.
Whether it is North Carolina continuing its glory or Georgetown's shame depends on tonight.
Although the big battle in '82, none of the people present except for the two coaches had experienced it personally.
But after all, it is a shame handed down from the ancestors, and it is engraved in the DNA.
Therefore, everyone at Georgetown University is also like a chicken blood before the opening today, and it is bound to be ashamed.
If you can win the game in front of Jordan, the initiator of the lore that year, just thinking about it will be relieving!
The game is about to begin, and the starting five of both sides are in place.
North Carolina's starters from one to five were golden. Rice, Hubert. Davis, George. Lynch, Rick. Fox and Pete. Chilkat.
Although there are no future NBA stars in this set of starters, four of them have survived in the NBA for a long time in the future.
Fox and George. Lynch didn't talk about it, one was an OK teammate and the other was Iverson's teammate, and Shay, who watched the game from that time, was naturally very familiar.
And Hubert. Davis and Chilkart, who also played in the NBA for 12 years and nine years, respectively.
This means that they are all capable of establishing themselves in the NBA in the future.
Although not stars, the starting four can become the main rotation in the NBA, which shows how balanced this team is.
Everybody can shoot, everybody can pass the ball, and everybody isn't the kind of sticky superstar yet.
Dean. Smith stood on the sidelines, flipping the switch for this sophisticated offensive machine!
At the start of the game, the ball was taken by Mutombo, as always.
After Shay held the ball across the half, he did not hesitate as an offensive arrow, and rushed straight deep.
George. Lynch, like everyone before him, couldn't stop Shay's onslaught.
But after all, he is also a defensive warrior on the NBA front line in the future, so he will not be directly knocked away by Shay.
Shay still has a physical advantage over Lynch, but not a crushing physical advantage anymore.
The Final Four is not that simple.
Haven't completely gotten rid of George. What about Lynch, experienced Rick. Fox immediately caught it.
Shay was forced to stop and was ready to turn sideways and put the ball behind him, protecting the ball before passing.
But just as Shay took the ball sideways and crossed his elbow in front of Fawkes, Fox suddenly fell backwards like a ghost!
Shay was looking confused, but the referee immediately blew an offensive foul!
Shay:???
Damn, I didn't even touch him!
Shay smashed Larry before smashing it. Although Johnson was characterized by the Sports Commission as an accidental fall, the referee did not think so.
They have already labeled Shay "bad boy" in their hearts.
So it has long been on the list of key tests.
Seeing Shay elbow and Fox crash to the ground, the referee blew the whistle without thinking.
In this era, replay technology is not so developed, so there is no situation where the referee looks at the replay and then makes a decision.
Blowing is blowing, coming up for the first attack, Shay lost the ball.
Shay looked at the referee viciously, you are blind and still insist on working, it is so inspiring!
At the same time, Shay also knew that Rick. Why did Fox change careers to make art films?
You've been studying acting since college.
Fox has always been a very chicken thief player with a very high basketball IQ.
This kind of thing is even more handy.
Now it's time for North Carolina to attack, and Shay is in charge of marking Hubert, the No. 2 position on the opposite side. Davis, who is the second-highest scorer in North Carolina.
Seeing Shay defending himself, Davis stood in the bottom corner, then crossed his hands on his hips and began to watch the play.
"!"
Shay scolded secretly, he knew he had been walked.
After breaking away Shay's strongest point on the perimeter, the rest of North Carolina began to play together.
Point guard Kim. Rice and Fox blocked, and after the pick-and-roll, Fox didn't go down, but bounced outside the three-point line.
This made Mourning dare not make up for Rice, and in the end he had to be defended by Chechewell.
But the next second, Rice hit the ground and passed the ball to George. Lynch's hands.
For the time being, he was unmarked, and he took a knife from outside the three-point line, and the basketball went into the net!
North Carolina opened up the space with a series of beautiful combinations and seized the opportunity.
I have to say, Dean. Smith does know tactics, and he brings out the characteristics of the players in his hands.
Moreover, it also cleverly avoided the three strong defensive points of Shay, Mourning and Mutombo.
Jordan looked at Shay, who was frowning, and smiled disdainfully.
Crazy for you kid and me!
This afternoon, when Jordan heard from a reporter the phrase "Jordan is also a man, not a god, he can't control everything", his lungs exploded.
How? Now an NCAA kid dares to judge Lao Tzu at will?
Where can Jordan, who is very competitive, stand this, so he immediately told reporters:
"I said that if North Carolina can win, North Carolina can win, if it can't win, I will lose Shay 5,000 yuan!"
The old gambler immediately made a bet.
He just wants to tell Shay that Lao Tzu is really the god of basketball!
Now that he sees his alma mater start so smoothly, Danzi can't be happy.
Today, I'm going to win Shay!
Of course, a three-pointer doesn't discourage Georgetown.
It's nothing to fall behind, just take it back.
But this time, Georgetown University's attack was interrupted by the referee's whistle again.
"What? The referee blew another Georgetown University offensive foul?
The referee said that Mourning just burst into the basket with the ball and hit someone! ”
The on-site commentary was unbelievable, and Mo Ning also spread his hands in a kingly manner:
"I didn't do it!"
Fawkes lay on the ground and smiled.
Originally, I wanted to be an actor, but I had no choice but to change careers because I was too tall, and the result was ......
After changing careers, I became the first person in the basketball world to fake fall!
"I'll take you Lao Mu, how much did you buy, blow your horse!" John. Thompson also scolded on the sidelines, and came up with a few words about the essence of Ameriken.
But no amount of scolding can change anything, and the ball is once again taken by North Carolina.
Shay looked at the referee and gritted his teeth.
It seems that Lao Tzu is going to give full play to his professional ability!
North Carolina offense, Kim. As Rice was in possession of the ball across half court, he saw Hubert running 45 degrees to the right. Davis, and at that time Shay put Davis two steps.
So, he passed the ball to Davis.
However, Shay deliberately let Davis go, just to lure him into passing!
At the moment of Rice's pass, Shay immediately activated, pounced on Davis, and stretched out his arm to intercept the ball halfway!
Dean. Smith was taken aback, Shay's defensive range was really terrifying, and he could still disrupt the pass even if he took two steps.
Luckily, Shay only stabbed the basketball and couldn't hold the ball directly.
The basketball was stabbed out of bounds by Shay, and flew at the referee who had just blown two fouls in Georgetown!
"Ah......h
Before the referee could react, the basketball slammed into his face!
Mourning Sense...... Shay stabbed in that direction on purpose!
If he only suspected Shay before, then after that, Shay really hammered himself on purpose!
After the basketball bounced off the referee's head, Shay had already rushed up to save the ball.
In fact, according to the rules of traditional basketball, the ball has hit the referee's head and is out of bounds.
But Shay "can't stop the car" now, only to see him leap high, grab the basketball with one hand, and then jerk the ball down.
And below, is the referee's head.
It's normal to be too hasty to control the direction of the pass when you save the ball, right?
With a "bang", Shay, who jumped into the air, smashed the ball on the referee's head, and a wave of silky small combos smashed the referee's head twice, knocking the referee directly to the ground.
When it was over, Shay also pretended to be very concerned and squatted next to the referee: "Wow, you didn't die, did you?" ”
"Poof!" Uncle Mu couldn't help but snicker, Shay, Shay, you kid can always give me some new tricks!
The referee was smashed twice by the basketball in a row, and he was dizzy for a while and couldn't stand up.
Anyone who has been hit hard by a basketball knows that it is very uncomfortable.
In desperation, I had to replace the referee.
Shay watched the substitute referee come on the field and nodded in relief.
It doesn't matter if the referee is blind, just let them change it.
You can't be so blind to every referee.
In this wave, Shay created the only referee change tactic in basketball tactics!
The referee's matter is resolved, but the crisis has not been resolved.
Shay adjusted his mentality and didn't continue to think about the referee.
Next, we have to smash the perfect offensive machine of North Carolina!
