Chapter 285: Sure enough, it's the referee who bears the blame

The increase in age still caused Gasol's reaction speed and judgment to decline to a certain extent.

Suddenly attacked by Wang Chao's bag, Gasol was in a hurry, and could only barely protect the basketball first, and then tried to raise the basketball above his head and play high to pass.

But just when he wanted to lift the basketball, Wang Chao seized the opportunity and cut the ball off neatly with a knife.

"It's over......"

James felt a chill in his heart, knowing that he was going to suffer, he quickly turned around and returned to defense, the speed of the Rockets' offensive and defensive conversion was too fast, and the Cavaliers had suffered several losses in this game.

"Squeak——!

To his heart, the whistle sounded immediately.

Wang Chao fouled Gasol to the free throw line.

I almost forgot that this game is not a normal 5v5.

Wang Chao, who was fouled for the fourth time, took a deep breath, calmed down, and did not argue with the referee about whether there was a foul in the ball just now.

At the end of the day, this game was not a fair game from the start.

Gasol stood at the free throw line and hit the first shot steadily, but the second free throw was missed, and Wang Chao rushed up to protect the defensive rebound before everyone else.

2 free throws and 1 hit, the two teams were tied at this time and were on the same running line, with 47 seconds left in the game, and there was just one offensive opportunity on both sides of the game.

As long as Wang Chao can score the next goal, at least he can be invincible, the only question is to choose three points or two points, if you shoot two points, there is a risk of being killed by the opponent's three points.

This question didn't even make Wang Chao entangled, and he made a decision immediately.

Shoot three points, even if James will definitely guard against his three-point shot in this round, Wang Chao will still resolutely choose the three-point shot to ensure that the team is at least not killed by the opposite side.

After dribbling past half the court, Wang Chao stopped at the three-point line of the top arc and signaled everyone to pull away, but this time, Wang Chao did not continue to single out James, but let Gobert on the inside come out to help him block and cover.

Seeing this scene, everyone's hearts on the Knights' side couldn't help but rise.

Rounding the block and dismantling to shoot three points is one of the moves with the highest scoring proportion in Wang Chao's game, especially after the elevator door tactics began to be frequently blown to move the block and dismantle, and there was no way to use it freely, Wang Chao's ordinary three-point shots became more after the pick-and-roll.

This move usually uses a big post player for pick-and-roll covers, because the post player is large and has excellent quality pick-and-rolls, which can create plenty of shooting space.

Gobert ran over such a block, directly blocked James tightly, and it was definitely too late to defend around the block, and the Cavaliers could only make up for Embiid from the other side as soon as they chased Gobert.

It's just that when Embiid chased after him from the other side, Wang Chao was already standing behind Gobert and jumping, aiming at the direction of the basket and throwing his wrist.

Embiid and James came around from both sides of Gobert to interfere with Wang Chao, but they were still half a beat slower, and Wang Chao's shot was too fast.

The fast gunner talent is a talent that Wang Chao acquired a long time ago, which can speed up Wang Chao's shooting speed, and Wang Chao himself has specially strengthened his shooting speed, and there is no one in the league today who can compare with Wang Chao in terms of shooting speed.

In a flash of light, Wang Chao had already taken a step forward to move the basketball to the basket before the two of them arrived.

Everyone's eyes were focused on the basketball flying into the sky for a while, watching the basketball cross a near-perfect parabola in the air, and then- "Hmmm! "Get on the net!

"Boom ——!"

In an instant, the entire Toyota Center Arena was like boiling water, and the fans could not contain their excitement and got up to cheer wildly.

Quasi-lore!

Wang Chao's key three-point hit was like a sharp knife piercing the heart of the Cavaliers, dripping with blood!

Without thinking, the head coach of the Cavaliers immediately called a timeout.

The team trailed by 3 points with exactly 24 seconds left in the game for a full offensive turn.

The Cavaliers have no other options, and the next offense must score a three-pointer to tie the score before the team has a chance to fight the Rockets in overtime.

The Cavaliers have a few players who can shoot three-pointers, and Carey shot 41 percent from three-point range during the regular season. Irving, three-point shooter off the bench James. Jones, and James himself.

James' three-point shooting percentage is not high this season, or his three-point shooting has not been particularly consistent, but even so, James' three-point shooting rate can be maintained in the early 35%.

The question now is who will make this final turn.

——

On the bench of the Rockets, Wang Chao is also arranging the focus of the next defense.

"Our goal is very simple, which is not to give them three points, so we can completely empty their interior and give them two points." Wang Chao said, looking at Leonard and Butler. "Kawai, Jimmy, you two are responsible for defending James and Jones, Owen will leave it to me!"

Although the future Irving shook the league with the name of the European Immortals, and all kinds of strange and incomprehensible behaviors completely ruined his reputation, the winning shot he threw in front of Curry in 16 years is absolutely impossible to ignore.

Wang Chao feels that the Cavaliers are really very likely to give the key equalizing opportunity to Irving, especially when the core leader of this team is James.

So he decided to keep an eye on Owen himself.

After the timeout, players from both sides restarted.

Gasol serves from the sideline and smoothly puts the ball in James' hands.

Due to the long time of 24 seconds to avoid being killed by Wang Chao, the Cavaliers must compress the time to less than 10 seconds before starting to play tactical runs.

Just watching the defender in front of him change from Wang Chao to Leonard, James's heart couldn't help but sink slightly, his eyes looked not far away, and sure enough, Wang Chao stood beside Owen.

"This guy, did you expect it a long time ago?"

Wang Chao really didn't guess wrong, the Cavaliers did plan to let Irving perform the last shot, after all, he had the greatest grasp of the three-point shot.

As the clock ticked by, the game entered a 10-second countdown and the Cavaliers players began to run off the ball.

Irving started from the bottom corner, ran quickly to the other side, and when he passed the baseline, Gasol on the inside came over just right to do an off-ball cover for Irving.

James immediately passed the ball at the top arc, and the next moment the basketball reached Irving, who ran outside the three-point line.

Catch the ball, turn around and raise your hand to shoot.

Irving's whole set of moves is smooth and silky, like his idol Kobe.

However, the moment he shot, Owen's pupils shrank suddenly, and in front of him, a figure that covered the sky and the sun had already been killed.

"Smack!"

The basketball that had just been thrown into the air was directly fanned out by Wang Chao in a volleyball smashing posture.

"What? How is this possible? ”

Owen was completely shocked, Wang Chao should have been separated by Gasol's blocking and dismantling cover, how could he catch up so quickly?

Of course, he can't understand that Wang Chao, who has a talent for covering and predicting, has already judged in advance who the player who is most likely to block and cover Owen when he sees Owen's running path, so when he followed Owen, he thought of how to go around the dismantling, and Gasol's blocking and dismantling cover actually did not delay Wang Chao much time at all.

"Squeak——!

The referee's whistle sounded, signaling the ball in the front court, the ball was still in the hands of the Cavaliers, but looking at the offensive time of less than 2 seconds, the hearts of all the players of the Cavaliers sank to the bottom.

The Rockets' defensive pressure is too strong, especially after clarifying the theme of preventing shooting and not penetrating, it is difficult to get an open shot outside the three-point line.

The Cavaliers have no timeout and can only serve directly to the sideline.

Gasol fed the ball to James, who adjusted slightly and pulled his hand from a 45-degree angle of the right three-point line.

Leonard always followed James' side, raised his hand and struggled to interfere, although he did not complete the block like Wang Chao, but successfully forced James to adjust the shooting angle.

The red light at the end of the game came on after James made a shot, and then the basketball slammed into the back edge of the basket and swiped it angrily.

The Toyota Center Arena was instantly overwhelmed with cheers.

James missed, and the Rockets won the first game of the Finals 126-123 at home.

"Hoo ......"

Wang Chao breathed a long sigh of relief, and the whole person relaxed.

"It's not easy."

This game is a long-lost hell difficulty level game that Wang Chao has played.

The Cavaliers themselves are not invincible, and with Leonard and Butler on Wang Chao's side, they even have a slight advantage in terms of lineup.

But the advantage of the lineup can't stand the opponent's 8v5.

The referee was definitely the MVP in this game.

The game is over, the free throw ratio between the two teams is 42:17, and the Cavaliers have 25 more free throws than the Rockets in the whole game, which is incredible, if it weren't for the huge difference in free throws, maybe the game wouldn't have been so difficult and thrilling at all.

The Cavaliers lost this game is actually nothing, after all, it is an away game, but with the help of the referee, they haven't been able to win yet, and the mentality is inevitably a little unbalanced.

After James missed the shot, he turned around and walked to the players' tunnel without saying a word.

This game has already sent a bad signal to him, when the referee is so biased, the Cavaliers still can't win the game, and what will win the game in the future? Rely on the referee's more biased whistle?

James knows very well that the referees can't give them such a strong whistle help every game, and if the Cavaliers can't think of other ways to break the game, the final winner this year, the championship winner will be the Houston Rockets! ——

"Wang Chao scored three points, and the Rockets defeated the Cavaliers 126-123 to win the first game of the finals."

"The free throw ratio is 42:17, is there a black whistle in the G1 referee of the finals, favoring the Cavaliers?"

"Houston head coach McHale: It's an ugly game, it's hard to imagine that in the NBA, there will be such a situation that will happen until now, and I hope that on the highest stage like the Finals, there should be a relatively fair and fair game, and the game should be returned to the players, not some people with special rights."

McHale was really disgusted by the referee of this game, so much so that he sprayed directly at the post-game press conference regardless of the impact, and almost pointed at the nose of the league and the referee and scolded.

Of course, he also paid the price for his actions.

A day later, the league issued a fine for McHale for publicly lashing out and defaming the referee.

Even if it's wrong, the taste of not admitting it is correct enough, and it's really disgusting that people have arrived home.

Although Wang Chao did not publicly comment on the referee's opinion on the penalty blowing in this game after the game, he didn't really do nothing and suffered this dumb loss in vain.

You must know that Wang Chao is not an ordinary player now, but a super-rich man worth 3 billion, and as a future person who will travel here from 2023, Wang Chao knows very well how to make a person the most efficient and straightforward, and now he also has this ability and capital.

It's just that Wang Chao's actions have not yet begun, and two days later, on June 7, in the second game of the finals, the referee once again acted as the MVP of the audience.

In G2, the Rockets vs Cavaliers had a free throw ratio of 18:37.

As a result, the Rockets lost to the Cavaliers, losing the second game 107-114, and the overall score came to 1-1.

Being blown up and losing a game did not make Wang Chao so angry that he lost his mind, but he was indeed choked by disgust.

"Since you are unkind, then don't blame me for being unjust!"

Wang Chao is going to fight back!

A day later, the Internet began to be full of comments about the referees of the G1 and G2 finals, and almost subtly posted every misjudgment and omission of the referee.

"Ugly Grand Final!"

"The darkest and most shameless game in history!"

"An alliance that is controlled by capital and has completely lost its competitive nature!"

Related news spread wildly on the Internet like a virus, occupying major websites and appearing on hot searches, and the popularity is also rising.

In fact, there is one thing to say, the NBA is really not the hottest league in the United States, even during the finals, the issue of a referee's penalty will not become a hot news that occupies the whole network.

But I can't stand Wang Chao's money, buy hot searches, hire a water army to brush orders, a piece of five cents, remember to delete the words in parentheses......

Wang Chao will directly give the future of the domestic rice circle and hype culture to the whole 15 years of rice country, and the effect is surprisingly good, after all, money can make the grinding ghost, at any cost, the topic of the NBA finals referee black whistle has been successfully out of the circle in the United States, even some people who don't know about the NBA know more or less about this matter, after all, as long as you go online and watch the news, you can see the report of related events.

At first, the alliance wanted to deal with this matter coldly, but as public opinion brewed on the Internet, this matter has begun to become more and more intense, and even the alliance officials have to hold an urgent meeting to discuss it carefully.

For the NBA league, this is not a trivial matter, especially when the NBA's broadcast contract is about to expire, and they must not allow the league's image to be continuously tarnished, resulting in a decrease in the league's influence and interfering with the negotiation of new TV broadcast contracts with ESPN and other TV stations.

Therefore, on June 8, one day after the end of the second game of the finals, the league announced the temporary replacement of the referees of the G3 game, and suspended the referees who had previously blown the referees in the finals and launched an investigation.

Of course, everyone knows that this is just an act of selling dog meat on the head of a sheep.

The problem of referees blowing penalties in the game was actually carried out under the default instruction of the league officials, and now the league officials have taken themselves out of this, and they want to rectify the temporary workers, and throw the pot on the referees who blow the penalty.

Wang Chao is sure that after some investigation, the league will eventually push out this referee as a scapegoat, expel and revoke the opponent's referee license to set an example.

As a scapegoat, the referee will retire early, and the league will secretly pay the other party a hush money in order to shut him up.

In this way, the matter was "satisfactorily" resolved.

"That's how it's handled...... Okay, too. ”

At least the league was forced by the pressure of public opinion to make a compromise, and Wang Chao's goal was achieved, even if the referee was biased in favor of the Cavaliers in the subsequent games, it was impossible to be as unscrupulous as in the previous games.

As long as the whistle can be relatively "fair", he can surely lead the Rockets to defeat the Cavaliers to win the championship!
