NBA: I am the god of basketball

Chapter 288 Sure enough, the referee is responsible for the blame
The increase in age has still caused Gasol's reaction speed and judgment to decline to a certain extent.

Suddenly being double-teamed by Wang Chao, Gasol was in a hurry. He could only barely protect the basketball first, and then tried to lift the basketball above his head and pass the ball high.

But just when he was about to lift the basketball, Wang Chao seized the opportunity and cut the ball off 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 Rockets' offensive and defensive transition speed was too fast. The Cavaliers had already suffered several losses in this game.

"squeak--!"

To his peace of mind, the whistle sounded immediately.

Wang Chao made a thug foul and sent Gasol to the free throw line.

Almost forgot, this game is not a normal 5v5.

Wang Chao, who was fouled for the fourth time, took a deep breath to calm himself down, and did not argue with the referee about whether his steal just now was a foul.

After all, this game was not a fair game from the beginning.

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

With 2 free throws and 1 free throw, the two teams are tied at the same starting line at this time, and there are 47 seconds left in the game. If the time is pressed, both sides have an attack opportunity.

As long as Wang Chao can score the next goal, at least he can be invincible. The only problem is to choose three-pointers or two-pointers.

This question didn't even bother Wang Chao, he made a decision right away.

Shooting three-pointers, even though James will definitely guard against his three-pointers this round, Wang Chao will still resolutely choose three-pointers to ensure that the team will at least not be killed by the opponent.

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

Seeing this scene, the hearts of everyone on the Cavaliers team couldn't help but lift up.

Shooting three-pointers around the pick-and-roll is one of the moves with the highest scoring ratio in Wang Chao's game. Especially after the elevator door tactics began to be frequently blown to move the pick-and-roll, and there is no way to use it freely, Wang Chao's three-pointer after the ordinary pick-and-roll It becomes more of a shot.

This trick usually chooses a big inside player for pick-and-roll coverage, because the inside player is wide, the quality of the pick-and-roll is excellent, and it can create enough shooting space.

Gobert ran over for such a block, and he was directly blocked by James. It must be too late to defend around the pick-and-roll. The Cavaliers can only use Embiid, who is chasing Gobert, from the other side immediately. Make up defense.

It's just that when Embiid chased from the other side, Wang Chao had already stood behind Gobert and jumped up, pointing his wrist at the basket.

Embiid and James, one on the left and one on the right, went around from Gobert's sides to interfere with Wang Chao, but they were still half a beat too late. Wang Chao's action was too fast.

The quick shooter talent is a talent that Wang Chao acquired a long time ago. It can speed up Wang Chao's shooting speed, and Wang Chao himself has specially strengthened his own shooting speed. No one in today's league can match Wang Chao's shooting speed. Ultra par.

In the blink of an eye, Wang Chao had already scrambled the basketball to the basket one step before the two of them blocked the shot.

Everyone's eyes were focused on the basketball flying into the sky for a moment, watching the basketball draw a nearly perfect parabola in the air, and then—"Shua!" It hit the net!
"boom--!"

In an instant, the entire Toyota Center Arena seemed to be boiling water. The fans couldn't contain their excitement, and they got up and cheered wildly.

Quasi lore!

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

The head coach of the Cavaliers immediately called a timeout without thinking.

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

The Cavaliers had no other choice. In the next attack, they had to score a three-pointer to tie the score. Only then would the team have a chance to compete with the Rockets in overtime.

The Cavaliers have some players who can shoot three-pointers. During the regular season, Kyrie Irving, who made 41% of his three-pointers, James Jones, a three-point shooter on the bench, and James himself.

This season James' three-point shooting rate is not high, or his three-point shooting has not been particularly stable all the time, but even so, James' three-point shooting rate can be maintained at just over 35%.

The question now is who will make this last shot.
-
On the Rockets' bench, Wang Chao is also arranging the focus of the next defense.

"Our goal is very simple, that is, not to give them a chance to score three points. For this reason, we can completely empty their inside line and send them two points." Wang Chao said, looking at Leonard and Butler. "Kawhi, Jimmy, you two are responsible for defending James and Jones, Irving will give it to me!"

Although the future Irving is famous in the league with the name of Ou Shenxian, and all kinds of weird and incomprehensible behaviors have completely ruined his reputation, but the winning shot made in front of Curry in 16 is absolutely unacceptable. ignore.

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

So he decided to mark Irving himself.

After the timeout, players from both sides reappeared.

Gasol served from the sideline and successfully handed the ball to James.

Due to the relatively long game time of 24 seconds, to avoid being killed by Wang Chao, the Cavaliers must compress the time to less than ten seconds before starting tactical moves.

Just watching the defensive player in front of him change from Wang Chao to Leonard, James' heart sank slightly, and he looked not far away. As expected, Wang Chao stood beside Irving.

"This guy, did you expect it?"

Wang Chao really guessed right. The Cavaliers really planned to let Irving take the last shot. After all, he has the greatest confidence in three-pointers.

Time passed by, the game entered a 10-second countdown, and the Cavaliers players began to run without the ball.

Irving started from one side of the bottom corner and ran quickly towards the other side. When passing the baseline, Gasol on the inside just crossed over to do an off-ball screen for Irving.

James at the top arc immediately passed the ball, and the basketball arrived in the hands of Irving who ran beyond the three-point line the next moment.

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

Irving's whole set of movements is smooth and smooth, very much like his idol Kobe.

However, the moment the shot was made, Owen's pupils suddenly shrank, and in front of him, a figure that covered the sky and the sun had already slashed across the sky.

"Snapped!"

The basketball that had just been thrown into the air was sent flying by Wang Chao in a volleyball smash.

"What? How is this possible?"

Owen was completely shocked. Wang Chao should have been separated by Gasol's pick-and-roll cover. How could he catch up so quickly?
Of course he couldn't understand that Wang Chao, who has a talent for screen prediction, had already judged in advance who was the most likely player to screen Owen when he saw Owen's running path, so when he followed Owen, he would Thinking of how to bypass the pick-and-roll, Gasol's pick-and-roll cover actually didn't delay Wang Chao too much time at all.

"squeak--!"

The referee's whistle sounded, indicating that the ball was in the frontcourt, and the ball was still in the hands of the Cavaliers, but seeing the attack time of less than 2 seconds, the hearts of all Cavaliers players sank to the bottom of the valley.

The Rockets' defensive pressure is really too strong, especially after clarifying the main purpose of preventing shooting and not preventing sudden shots, it is almost impossible to get an open shot from outside the three-point line.

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

Gasol sent the ball to James, who adjusted it a little, then pulled out his hand at a 45-degree angle from the right three-point line.

Leonard always followed James closely, raising his hand to interfere. Although he didn't complete the block like Wang Chao did, he successfully forced James to increase his shooting angle.

After James made a shot, the red light at the end of the game came on, and then the basketball slammed heavily on the back edge of the basket, slamming an iron.

The Toyota Center Arena was instantly flooded with cheers.

James missed the lore, and the Rockets won the first game of the finals 126:123 at home.

"call……"

Wang Chao let out a long sigh of relief, and his whole body relaxed.

"It's really not easy."

This game is considered to be the long-lost Hell difficulty level game that Wang Chao has played.

The Cavaliers themselves are not invincible. With Leonard and Butler beside Wang Chao, they even have a slight advantage in the lineup.

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

The referee in this game is definitely the MVP.

The game is over. The free throw ratio of the two teams is 42:17. The Cavaliers made 25 more free throws than the Rockets in the entire game. and thrilling.

The Cavaliers' loss in this game is actually nothing. After all, it is an away game, but with the help of the referee, they have not yet won the game, and their mentality is inevitably a little unbalanced.

After James missed the lore shot, he turned his head and walked towards the player tunnel without saying a word.

This game has already sent him a bad signal. With the referee being so biased, the Cavaliers still can't win the game. How can they win the next game?Rely on the referee's more partial whistle?
James knew very well that it was impossible for the referee to give them such a powerful whistle every game. If the Cavaliers couldn't think of other ways to break the game, the final winner of this year, the championship winner, would still be the Houston Rockets! ——
"Wang Chao made a three-pointer, and the Rockets defeated the Cavaliers 126:123 and won the first game of the finals."

"The free throw ratio is 42:17. Does the referee in G1 of the finals have a black whistle and favor the Cavaliers?"

"Houston coach McHale: This is an ugly game. It is unimaginable that such a situation will happen in the NBA. I hope that on the highest stage that attracts so much attention, there should be a relatively A fair and fair game, giving the game back to the players, not to someone with special powers."

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

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

A day later, the league issued a ticket to McHale for publicly attacking and defaming officials.

Even if it's wrong, it's good enough to refuse to admit it. If it's true, it's disgusting.

Although Wang Chao did not publicly comment on his views on the referee's call for the game after the game, he did not really do nothing and suffer from this dumb loss for nothing.

You know, Wang Chao is not an ordinary player now, but a super rich man worth 30 billion, and as a future person who traveled 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 action has not yet started. Two days later, on June 6, in the second game of the finals, the referee once again acted as the MVP of the game.

In the G2 game, the free throw ratio between the Rockets and the Cavaliers was 18:37.

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

Being bragged about losing a game didn't make Wang Chao so angry that he lost his mind, but it was also disgusting enough.

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

Wang Chao is going to fight back!

One day later, the Internet began to be full of comments about the referees' judgments in the G1 and G2 games of the finals. Almost every detail of the referee's wrong and missed judgments was posted. Anyone who sees the relevant information can intuitively see it. I really feel how dark the referee is in the game.

"Ugly Finals!"

"The darkest and most shameless game in history!"

"Under the control of capital, the league has completely lost its competitive essence!"

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

In fact, there is one thing to say, the NBA is really not the most popular league in the United States. Even during the finals, a mere referee's decision will not become a hot news occupying the entire network.

But I can’t stand that Wang Chao is rich, buy hot search, hire water army to swipe bills, [-] cents a piece, remember to delete the words in the brackets...

Wang Chao directly gave the future domestic fan circle and hype culture to the United States for 15 years, and the effect was surprisingly good. After all, money can make a fool of himself. No matter the cost, the referee of the NBA Finals The topic of black whistle has successfully gone out of the circle in the United States. Even some people who don't know much about the NBA know about it. After all, as long as they go online and read the news, they can see reports of related events.

At the beginning, the alliance wanted to deal with this matter coldly, but with the brewing of public opinion on the Internet, this matter has begun to intensify, and even the alliance officials have to hold an urgent meeting to discuss it carefully.

For the NBA league, this is not a small matter, especially when the NBA's broadcast contract is about to expire. Negotiation of television broadcasting contracts.

Therefore, on June 6, one day after the second game of the finals, the league announced a temporary replacement of the referees of the G8 game, and suspended work and launched an investigation on the referees who whistled the previous finals.

Of course, everyone is well aware that this is just a trick to sell dog meat.

The whistleblowing issue in the refereeing game was actually done under the acquiescence of the league officials. Now the league officials have pulled themselves out of it, and they want to fix the temporary workers and blame the referees who whistled. .

Wang Chao can be sure that after some investigations, the league will eventually use this referee as a scapegoat, expel and revoke the opponent's referee's license to make 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.

"This way of handling...is fine."

At least the league made a compromise under the pressure of public opinion, and Wang Chao's goal was achieved. Even if the referee in the subsequent games wanted to favor the Cavaliers, he would not be as unscrupulous as in the previous games.

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