Chapter 191 The Miracle Reappears, Killing the Lakers! (big chapter)

"Offensive foul? How did it become an offensive foul? Let's take a closer look at the game replay."

"This ball... this ball was blown too critically! It made the suspense of the game last until the last second!"

"I personally think that He Li's ball just now was fine, it was a perfect lore ball!"

The on-site commentary couldn't accept the referee's sudden penalty for He Li's offensive foul for a while.

However, the ultimate power of interpretation is in the hands of the referee. When encountering such a very controversial penalty, the commentator can only defend the league. Of course, there is no problem in expressing his own thoughts.

As for the two commentators in China, they are also very puzzled by the penalty result.

"This is obviously a four-pointer. He Li made the game-winning shot. Could it be an offensive foul?"

"Okay, the game replay is out.

In slow motion, it can be seen that when pulling back after dribbling, he did support Kobe with his hands.

However, this power is not great. Kobe can continue to fly towards He Li's direction, which proves that He Li did not push Kobe away.

This shot and this action cannot be used as evidence of He Li's offensive foul.

On the contrary, both Kobe and Fisher reached out and hit He Li, obviously violating He Li's cylinder!
There is no doubt that this is a 3+1. "

"Don't worry, the on-site referee seems to have doubts. It seems that some referees have different opinions, thinking that this is a defensive foul. He Li's lore is effective, and he can add a free throw."

It is really inexplicable that the referee who whistled first suddenly called He Li an offensive foul.

Judging by the penalty scale of the entire game, there is no problem at all for He Li's last ball protector to put in front of Kobe.

On the contrary, when he shot later, he was hit by Kobe and Fisher one after another.

At this time, it doesn't matter whether He Li has a follow-up penalty, anyway, the Bucks have already led by 5 points!
Because the referee blew the whistle to stop the watch when He Li made a shot, there were 1.7 seconds left in the game.

If the referee hadn't blown the whistle, maybe He Li made the shot, and the time would have run out.

However, He Li was suddenly sentenced to an offensive foul, the three-pointer was not counted, and the two teams switched possession, that would be outrageous.

And this is unacceptable to the Bucks!
The Lakers have the crucial possession of the ball this time. During this 1.7 seconds, there is definitely a chance to complete the lore with a three-pointer.

Of course, if you securely score two points and absolutely tie the game, the possibility of going to overtime is not small.

The Bucks couldn't accept the game that they had already won, because the referee changed the judgment maliciously, which made the result of the game completely different.

However, at this time, there was something unacceptable, not only the Bucks, but also Stern, who was watching the game with the NBA headquarters staff.

It is true that before the start of the game, Stern told the people below to help the Lakers as much as possible to win the game.

After all, everyone has to eat. To achieve the position of NBA president, it is not enough to rely on fairness and justice. It is what he should do to bring more benefits to everyone.

The Lakers were swept by the Bucks in two games before, and the Lakers are one of the league's giants, and the two teams with the highest ball market rank first. Stern needs to consider this factor.

In addition, the ratings of the finals are also a factor.

However, watching today's game with his own eyes, Stern must also admit that the Bucks are eligible to win this game.

Even if he wants to help the Lakers, the Bucks can still win the Lakers with hard power under unfavorable conditions. Such a Bucks are worthy of respect and worthy of winning.

Not to mention, taking advantage of the trend to admit the fact that the Bucks won is not detrimental to the league.

On the contrary, there are many benefits.

In the past few years, Stern has promoted the globalization of the NBA. As an international player, He Li led the team to win the NBA championship, which will effectively expand the influence of the NBA on a global scale.

The Bucks won the championship this year, and it was also within Stern's plan.

In general, Stern hopes that the Lakers will not lose too ugly, and that the Bucks will eventually win the championship.

One of Stern's methods is relatively subtle, mainly based on behind-the-scenes layout and promotion.

Just now when He Li hit the game-winning shot at a critical moment, the Bucks should win, and that's the reason.

On the contrary, at this time, He Li was suddenly sentenced to an offensive foul, the lore was invalid, and the Lakers won the ball. This...

Although this is more dramatic, it is easy to create topics after the game and increase the ratings of the next few games.

But it should be noted that the controversy brought about afterwards may be very detrimental to the development of the NBA in the next few years.

Last year, the Bucks said that "the league doesn't want the Bucks to enter the finals". Today, the scandal of this key black whistle tampering with the game broke out again, and this kind of talk is bound to intensify.

The NBA is still developing in recent years and is expected to catch up with MLB.

If such a scandal suddenly occurs at this juncture, it may be a little difficult for the NBA to go further in the four major leagues in North America.

There is more than one MBL opponent in the NBA, and there is more than one MBL who wants to discredit and smear the NBA.

To put it simply, a healthy and developing alliance should be as grand and upright as possible.

In recent years, the NBA has gradually become a league for blacks, which has been criticized by many outsiders.

The main viewing group of the four major leagues in North America is still white. Even though more and more blacks are entering the NFL, whites still account for more than 85% of NFL fans.

In contrast to the NBA, in the past ten years, white fans have gradually dropped from 70% to 60%.

From the perspective of game attendance, the overall number of fans in the NBA has not dropped much.

However, the price of game tickets has basically not increased much in recent years, and many teams even have to sell them at low prices in order to attract fans.

This kind of poor management has gradually appeared in many small ball markets. It has to be said that to a certain extent, it is the influence of black people.

Even if many white people are willing to buy tickets to support black stars in the arena, they are not willing to sit with black fans.

In addition, the number of black middle-class people is too small, and it is not like white fans who habitually buy season tickets, which can bring stable income to the team. Most of them buy tickets sporadically, or even discounted tickets.

Over time, the small ball market's attendance and ticket prices have naturally been affected.

It is precisely because of this situation that Stern's original plans for Canada's military expansion and the European military expansion division plan had to come to an end.

After all, the expansion of the army may also be like the Grizzlies, who cannot stay in Canada and return to the United States to settle in second- and third-tier cities. The development is still a small ball market.

A small ball market can't bring much help to the NBA, and it may even ask the NBA headquarters to provide some benefits to prevent them from being too badly short-lived.

In fact, at this time, a team in a small market like the Bucks can win the championship, and it will gradually develop with the help of the traffic of winning the championship, which will bring more help to the NBA.

There are examples of small ball markets developing, and outside capital tycoons have more ideas about investing in the NBA.

Therefore, Stern will not be unhappy to see the Bucks win the championship.

This is exactly the reason why the Spurs won the championship in the previous shrinking season.

Since the Bucks won the Lakers with their strength, why should they self-destruct their signs and prevent the Bucks from winning the championship?

"Who the hell? Made such a stupid decision? Who the hell is confident?"

Stern is not stupid. If he was really stupid, it would be impossible to bring the NBA back to life and develop to this level.

The current situation is not difficult to understand.

After other referees put forward other opinions and had a dispute with the referee who whistled before, several referees watched the replay several times together.

The referee who blew the whistle before still insisted on calling He Li an offensive foul, so there must be something wrong.

North America has always had sports betting, but Sent is opposed to this. In order to prevent the NBA from being affected by sports betting, not only is it expressly prohibited, but there are also special supervisors within the NBA.

When the NBA expanded its military in Canada, the Raptors and Grizzlies could only be established by signing the ban on gambling.

Speaking of today's situation, it seems that the referee has collected the money.

However, does a referee dare to do this, and do it so obviously?
Although the referee has the right to insist on punishing He Li for an offensive foul, even if the NBA knows that the referee has a problem, he will not deal with him in a short time.

After all, if you deal with it directly, there will be no silver 300 taels here.But after the fact, it must be inevitable.

When the time comes, the defendant will go to court, and most of the money he got will be spit out, so why take the risk?

Not to mention being able to serve as a referee in the NBA Finals. With this qualification, he will not be particularly short of money.

Even if it takes black money, can't it be exchanged for the regular season?You can also make money, and you are not afraid of settling accounts after the fall.

To put it bluntly, at this time, if you dare to go to the tiger mountain knowing that there are tigers in the mountain, it must be because there are people above, so you have no scruples.

"I'll deal with it immediately!" The bald assistant next to Stern realized that the CEO was very angry and the consequences would be serious, so he quickly got up and said that he would go down to investigate the situation.

Stern had a lot of trust in the bald assistant, so he didn't notice that the bald assistant had sweaty palms.

Having said that, because this time the penalty was controversial and the opinions of the referees could not be unified, so we had to go back to the scene where He Li was double-teamed and resolutely shot a three-pointer just now.

After almost 3 minutes, the result of the penalty still came down.

He Li made an offensive foul!The two teams exchange the ball.

The referee who whistled at the beginning insisted on making such a penalty.

Of course, the other two referees, plus the fourth official, felt that this was a defensive foul by Kobe and Fisher, but referees are human and have their own subjective ideas, and it is normal to have differences in judgment.

In order to ensure the absolute authority of the referee on the court, other referees will acquiesce in the former's judgment result if they cannot persuade the referee who blows the whistle first.

However, as soon as the penalty result came out, the Bucks immediately filed an appeal.

But there was no result in the short-term appeal. After the result, the game is over, and there is no way to change it.

In other words, if the Lakers make a lore next, but instead kill the Bucks, the Bucks can only pinch their noses to admit it.

At most, the league apologized afterwards and punished the referee who whistled.

With 1.7 seconds left in the game, the attack and defense of the last goal are particularly important.

For the Bucks, this situation is not unacceptable.

The Lakers have no timeout, and the Bucks still have a timeout.

Even though the Lakers had made lore arrangements in advance by taking advantage of the replay time of the game, but there was no timeout and no frontcourt serve, the Lakers still had to send the ball from the backcourt.

Then in a hurry, the Lakers may not be able to serve the ball, make a wrong serve, or rush through the half court, making it even more difficult to make a lore shot.

Not to mention, the Bucks still have foul tactics to use.

When watching the replay of the game, George Karl also realized that there were forces who wanted to control the field, so he prepared a move in advance.

In case the Lakers serve the ball and the ball is passed to the frontcourt, they must foul without hesitation.

Of course, it is necessary to avoid fouling Kobe and Horry as much as possible, both of whom are big-hearted players.

The pressure of the finals is great, and the pressure of free throws at critical moments is even greater. Even a battle-hardened superstar like Karl Malone may make free throws at critical moments.

As long as the Bucks players do not implement free throw tactics against Kobe and Horry, sending other Lakers to the free throw line is still a more conservative and stable way to win.

In order to ensure that Kobe and Horry are not fouled, it is necessary to restrict Kobe and Horry from receiving the ball.

In order to do this perfectly, the Bucks resorted to the zone defense.

The zone defense was legalized only this season, and the Bucks didn't need to use zone defense much before.

But at this critical moment, the Bucks are not unusable, and in order to limit the Lakers' play as much as possible, they also adopt a man-to-man defensive strategy while defending in the zone.

Horry, who served the ball, saw the Bucks in such a ready posture, he hesitated for several seconds and did not make a shot.

The running of Kobe and Fisher was stopped by Ray Allen and Cassel respectively. Although the two pulled away, He Li also stood in front of Horry and interfered with his height and wingspan.

For a while, Horry couldn't serve the ball, and the Lakers fell into a problem of serving the ball. In the end, O'Neal stepped forward to respond, and then took advantage of his height and wingspan to pass the ball out.

Fox received the ball and rushed into the frontcourt quickly. Seeing that Tim Thomas had caught up, he immediately stopped and leaned on Tim Thomas and shot.

In fact, Fox wants to build Tim Thomas, and the latter also wants to impose foul tactics on Fox according to George Karl's arrangement.

But seeing Fox shoot first, Tim Thomas quickly took a step back to avoid being called a three-point foul.

It was also quick enough to reflect that Tim Thomas did not become a sinner for the Bucks.

On the contrary, Fox missed the last chance for the Lakers to turn defeat into victory.

Fox knew when he took the shot that the shot was too light, it was a non-stick shot, and when the ball hit the ground, the time was up and the Lakers lost the game again.

In order to fight again, Fox immediately stepped forward and pushed Tim Thomas after the shot. Of course he didn't dare to push too hard. If he was convicted of a criminal and added a free throw, he would be completely finished.

Fortunately, the referee only called an offensive foul, and the ball was traded again.

Because the whistle was blown in advance to stop the watch, there was still 0.5 seconds left in the game.

It has to be said that there is still suspense in this game.

It's much easier for the Bucks to get the ball.

Kassel served from the sideline, of course we all know that George Karl has a timeout in his hand, so let's observe first.

Anyway, the Bucks lead by 2 points, it doesn't matter if the timeout is used or not, as long as the time runs out and they win.

But the Lakers still didn't give up, they were still actively defending, and the chances of trying to fight were slim, and they almost had no steals and counterattack lore.

Because the Bucks make free throws in the backcourt, if the Lakers complete the steal in a few tenths of a second and make a direct shot, it is not impossible to have a chance to tie.

As for passing the ball after stealing, or running beyond the three-point line before making a shot, unless there is a problem with the timer, it is impossible, and there must be not enough time.

For the Bucks, He Li and Ray Allen ran each other for two or three seconds, and Horry and Kobe also ran together for a while.

The big dog ran to the basket in the front court, preparing for an empty cut to the basket, and of course Fox stopped him.

George Karl felt that it was better to be more stable, called the last timeout, and then arranged a lore tactic.

Anyway, it doesn't matter if the lore is not the lore, the Lakers have no time to run back to the frontcourt even if they steal the ball in the frontcourt.

If you shoot a three-pointer in the second half, it is basically impossible to hit it.

Of course, for the Bucks, if it can be avoided, try to avoid the problem of serve errors.

"The alien served the ball and passed it to He Li!

It's Kobe Bryant again, and Derek Fisher again!
He Li catches the ball and takes off, and under the double-teaming of two people, he shoots a super long three-pointer!
3+1, it's true this time!The miracle has reappeared!

Once again, He Li made an unreasonable shot at the place where he said he would kill the Lakers! "

"This is He Li, this is He Li's incredible three-pointer!"

While the explanation was extremely excited, Kobe also looked at He Li with a look of shock.

"He said it, he said he wanted to kill us here! Unexpectedly, he really did it!"

"Not only did he kill us with a three-pointer, but he also fouled us exactly the same as last time! He actually wants to beat us again!"
