NBA: Start with a three-point experience card

Chapter 282 The referee wants to take over the game?
The Lakers and Clippers G4, for the Clippers, can be called a life-and-death battle.

Winning on the same starting line, losing is equivalent to getting out.

Of course, this game is also very important for the Lakers.

Because the Clippers have almost no retreat, they will definitely resist desperately.

The potential of a person in his death throes is enormous.

When a team is in a life-and-death battle, the energy that explodes is unimaginable.

Therefore, the Lakers cannot relax because of this, and cannot take it lightly because of a big lead.

They must be careful to fight with all their strength.

This game is the home of the Lakers, and the game starts at 10 pm.

At 3:00 p.m., the three referees for the game will have a routine pre-match meeting.

At the meeting, the referees will discuss the law enforcement standards and other details of the game.

When the meeting of the three referees was about to be completed, there was a knock on the door.

The referee, Dan Crawford, frowned slightly.

Generally, outsiders are not allowed to disturb their internal referee meetings.

Who is so blind to knock on the door when they are in a meeting.

Bang, bang, bang, the knocking on the door continued.

Before Dan Crawford could speak, the door was pushed open.

A tall, thin, bald middle-aged man walked in.

He has a slender figure and a slender face, wearing a pair of narrow-rimmed glasses.

His appearance gives people a very shrewd feeling. .

Seeing this, the three referees quickly stood up.

Referee Dan Crawford Mei Jinzhou's brows also quickly stretched.

"Why are you here, President?"

Dancraft asked.

That's right, the person who came was NBA Commissioner Adam Silver.

Generally, it is impossible for Xiao Hua to appear in a pre-match referee meeting like this.

Now he came to the meeting room suddenly, which naturally surprised several people.

Adam Silver had a kind smile on his face: "I just came to take a look. How are your preparations going?"

Dan Crawford replied: "Almost."

Xiao Hua moved his gaze from Dan Crawford's face to the other two referees: "What do you think of this law enforcement?"

Both referees turned their heads to look at Dan Crawford, wondering what Silver's question meant?
Dan Crawford has been in the league for more than 20 years, how can he not know what Xiao Hua means?
With a smile on his face: "You can tell the president if you have anything to say."

Xiao Hua nodded, very satisfied with Dan's attitude: "I don't want the Clippers to lose in this game. Neither does the league."

The two young referees were surprised to hear this.

It has been said that the league may manipulate the game in certain games, but they have never seen it, so they don't believe it.

Could it be that today they are really going to meet for the first time?

How is this possible?

They are the referees, the enforcers on the field.

Fairness and justice on the field are in their control.

How can they do that kind of thing?

However, the referee Dan nodded and said: "We don't want the Clippers to lose either."

In fact, except for the Lakers and Lakers fans in the entire league, no one really wants the Clippers to lose this game.

Regardless of whether the Lakers eventually eliminated the Clippers or the Clippers eliminated the Lakers, they all hope that the Lakers and the Clippers can play a few more games.

You must know that the owners, players, referees and staff of all teams in the league, their income is closely related to the income of the game.

So many teams in the playoffs.

The more games played between each two teams, the more revenue the league earns, and the more each of their players, referees and staff earn.

Especially in a big city like Los Angeles.

For every extra game they play, the league receives millions of dollars in additional revenue.

So naturally no one wants the game to end so quickly.

Of course, hope is hope.

Generally speaking, referees are still very impartial on the field.

Even if they want the Lakers to lose again, it is impossible to blatantly blow the whistle.

Unexpectedly, the president of the alliance will come to give the order in person.

Although he didn't say it on the surface, everyone understood what he meant.

With a kind smile on Xiao Hua's face, he pushed his glasses: "It's good that you understand. If you do well, I will consider asking someone to raise your salary."

Dan Crawford thanked again and again: "Thank you, I really appreciate the president."

Then he turned to look at the two young referees.

The two young referees also nodded: "Thank you, President."

When Xiao Hua left, Dan Crawford's expression became severe:
"I know what you are thinking, we are referees, we are the enforcers on the field, we should be fair and just. But I want to tell you that there is no absolute fairness and justice in this world. You also know that my child has that disease , requiring high medical bills.”

"No one to help me share, every dollar is my hard-earned money. Is anyone saying it's fair to me? Is someone being fair to me? God is not fair."

"One of your children needs to go to a noble school, and the other has to be supported by an old mother. All of these need money. Not only you, but countless people in the alliance need money. If your game is fair, it will be unfair to them. "

The two young referees who had said something silently lowered their heads.

When they were studying refereeing, the first lesson was to learn to be fair and just.

However, everything now broke their cognition.

Dan Crawford finally asked: "If you are unwilling to do this, it is still too late to quit. But even if you quit, don't tell the matter. The consequences will be very serious, so serious that you can hardly imagine."

"Fans will lose trust in the league, and the league's revenue will plummet, which will affect everyone, including you and me."

The two young referees remained silent.

It was not until more than two minutes later that one of the young referees replied: "I will join."

Seeing this, another young referee finally nodded: "Then I will join too."

Dan Crawford's silver hair looked gray in the conference room light.

With a helpless smile on his face: "Thank you, thank you, my buddies, I thank you for my son."

Then a referee asked, "Dan, is that stock of yours still going down?"

Dan Crawford took a breath and shook his head: "Well, it's still falling. If it continues to fall tomorrow, I will take out the money. If you lose money, you will lose it. I bought this stock last year. I want to count on this little money to make some money for my son’s medical treatment.”

"Dan, after this month's salary, I can give you half of my salary."

Another young referee also said: "I am also very short of money, and I can't give you much. After the salary is paid, I will give you 5000 first."

Dan Crawford's eyes were slightly moist: "Thank you, thank you, my buddies."
