NBA: Starting with Jokic template

Chapter 223 This whistle is a bit dark

Beep! ! !
The referee blew his whistle hard.

"Fuck! This is not fair!!!! I didn't even touch him! How can this be blown to me????"

On the court, for the first time, James spread out his hands from the bottom of his heart, his face full of extreme anger. He walked angrily to the referee, venting his incomprehension of this penalty.

The referee in front of him just made a gesture of judging the penalty and didn't even give him any response, not even a glance.

"Black whistle! I want to complain about you!"

James was extremely angry. These were the last few minutes to decide which team would advance to the finals. Everyone had put in countless efforts to get to this point.

Now that the game has reached this critical moment, the referee cannot blow the whistle and affect the direction of the game!
Hearing the black whistle, the referee looked at him coldly and said coldly,
"Stop talking nonsense. I'm warning you once. If you continue to force me to talk, you'll be punished."

"you!"

After this was said, James wanted to fight back.

He didn't believe that the referee would really let him go off the court, but Wade behind him pushed him down and took him back to the free throw area.

Wade saw the referee's actions clearly. His forward shake, ready to make a gesture at any time, allowed him to bring James back immediately. The referee's appearance clearly showed that he was ready to send James off.

On the sidelines, Lin Chuan scratched his head and expressed his doubts with actions.

No, what is this? ? ? ?
Even though Lin Chuan didn't like the Heat, and even hated LeBron James very much, he was still deeply puzzled by the refereeing of this game.

Anthony just made a breakthrough, and when he was about to make a layup, the referee blew the whistle without hesitation.

But Lin Chuan could clearly see that James' hand was still some distance away from Anthony, so it could not be considered a foul at all.

But if the referee's view was blocked, it is possible.

He decided to observe further.

Let’s see whether it was a mistake or was really targeted.

Anthony made two consecutive free throws and overtook the Heat by one point.

After several rounds, both sides fought fiercely, but the referee never blew the whistle.

After all, it's the playoffs, the scale will be bigger, and when it comes to such a critical moment, the action will become more intense.

At this time, the Heat tied the score and they had just beaten the Knicks 6:0.

As JR missed the shot again, the ball returned to the Heat.

James was holding the ball outside the three-point line, staring at Anthony in front of him with eager eyes.

"Just now, the referee's black whistle allowed you to successfully overtake, but now, I will not give you any more chances."

"baffling."

Anthony sneered and disagreed with him.

The ball is hit.

Since the referee blew the whistle, there is no doubt that James committed a foul.

Moreover, she has benefited a lot from the referee's penalties over the years.

Do you feel like the sky is falling after suffering a loss?

It's ridiculous.

James stopped talking nonsense and found a gap in the Knicks' defense with a glance.

In an instant, James stepped on the accelerator of the tank, ready to use his unparalleled impact to break into the inside and crush to the basket to score.

Anthony tried his best to block it, but the body he was so proud of seemed powerless in front of James, who could play power forward after gaining weight and even single-handedly fight against center for a while.

Damn it...The Heat have already gained momentum. If he lets them score again, the Knicks will be finished!
Anthony looked embarrassed and tried hard to disrupt James' breakthrough, but the next moment, he only heard a sharp whistle piercing the sky, interrupting the progress of the game again!

Fake!

Anthony cursed inwardly.

Just now, in order to block James, his hand movements were indeed a bit bigger, and there was suspicion of pulling and hindering the breakthrough.

But this referee is so sharp-eyed? He blew the whistle just after pulling the ball?
damn it!
Anthony had no choice but to walk in front of the referee in order to put pressure on him.

But the referee waved his hand at him and pointed at James.

"It has nothing to do with you. It's him who's being boasted about."

After these words were spoken, James, who was still moving his arms in the paint area, was stunned.

He was preparing to warm up for the next free throw, but why did the referee call a foul on him?!

Then, James stared at the referee's actions with his eyes wide open.

I saw the referee moving his arms a few times in front of his chest.

It's a traveling violation.

"How can I..."

Before James finished speaking, the referee said coldly,

"Need I tell you? You're so used to traveling that you didn't realize it. You moved your pivot foot before the ball even left your hand. As the former MVP, have you forgotten this rule?"

After this was said, James had no reason to refute.

At the same time, it also caused a burst of laughter from the fans on the sidelines who could hear it.

They all laughed at his frequent walking.

The referee's sudden whistle at this time also made James feel very uncomfortable.

But he had no choice but to admit defeat.

Damn it... If they had scored a goal, they could have completely crushed the Knicks...

James clenched his fists.

I just have to be careful next time.

Anthony was more confused than anyone else, but he could only be thankful that it was James who committed a traveling violation first, so it didn't matter whether he committed a foul or not.

"Tsk... it's really a bit weird."

Lin Chuan touched his chin.

Yes, in the NBA over the years, when it comes to traveling, James has always been far ahead. Whether it is a traveling start or a four-step layup, he has performed it many times.

The referees and the league have always turned a blind eye for commercial reasons.

But I didn't expect the referee to whistle at such a critical moment.

You know, even if it was someone else, the referee would rarely call a traveling call for such a small matter, but this time, he called it without any hesitation.

The meaning behind this is far more serious than it appears.

Are you really planning to buy the Knicks?

Lin Chuan frowned.

If that's the case, it would be tricky.

In terms of team strength, the Knicks are weaker than them.

Although they can also explode, Lin Chuan is confident that as long as they can break in, their hopes will be extinguished.

But if you take into account the referee's blessing...

Then it’s hard to say.

On the court, due to James' traveling violation, the ball was given to the Knicks, who seized the opportunity to make a three-pointer and successfully took the lead.

The Heat's previously unstoppable momentum was suddenly interrupted, and it seemed difficult to continue at this time.

Especially James, looking at the referee's eagle-eye look, couldn't help but weaken his three-point shot and his movements became hesitant.

This also caused the Knicks fans at the scene to insult him as a soft coward and say that he was afraid to fight at the critical moment.

And just as the fans at the scene scolded him, he passed the ball to his teammates, which attracted waves of ridicule.

The same goes for the fans around Lin Chuan.

But he rarely joined the group of people who laughed at him.

After all, compared to mocking old rivals, the referee's bias is more terrifying.

On the court, time was running out, and it seemed that there were only four or five minutes left to determine the winner of Game 7.

The Knicks also gradually took the initiative after the referee blew several penalties silently. Anthony broke through the outside line, and JR received the ball and shot a three-pointer, which went in again! The lead was extended to seven points.

From the perspective of the game, the Knicks have already taken advantage.

As long as they stay stable, they can trample their opponents and enter the coveted finals again after more than 10 years.

Seeing the score like this, Xiao Hua adjusted his glasses and kept his expression as calm as ever.

It seemed that such an intense game on the field had never caused this man to be emotionally unstable at all.

But at this moment.

The true soul of the Heat, Dwyane Wade, stood up.

He is like a blazing fire.

Stand up at the most critical moment and burn your opponent.

In one minute, he first made a difficult three-pointer, then stole the ball from JR Smith again, broke through and scored 2+1, then blocked Anthony's layup in the interior, and moved to the frontcourt to assist James in a fast break dunk.

In a split second, the situation on the court changed suddenly and the Heat took the lead by one point again.

This speed was unexpected by everyone, not to mention the referee on duty on the court, even Adam Silver who thought everything was under his control just now was not expected.

It's not his fault. It's hard for anyone to realize these situations while wiping their glasses.

His expression turned a little ugly.

This is not what he wants.

Although the Heat entered the finals, the final against the Thunder was also very interesting.

Whether it's revenge on the opponent, the Big Three finally realizing their dreams, or the new king defending the title, aiming for a three-peat dynasty will spark a wave of enthusiasm.

But compared to the team from New York, the largest city in the United States, it is still far behind.

He stood up and went to the bathroom on the pretext of going to the bathroom.

David Stern just glanced at him and stood up to make way.

When he came to the bathroom and smelled the unpleasant odor, Xiao Hua frowned. This was not a place that he, an American elite, would often come to, but compared to other places, this place was more secluded at this time.

After carefully observing the surroundings and even knocking on every door but no one answered, he walked into a cubicle and dialed the phone.

"I don't care how obvious it is, but the Knicks have to make the finals!"

After hearing the other party's fearful reply, Xiao Hua hung up the phone, walked out, and tidied his appearance in front of the mirror.

Then he walked out of the bathroom as if nothing had happened.

Sitting back on the sidelines, David Stern looked at him with a scrutinizing eye.

He couldn't help but feel suspicious.

He had just left, and soon after, the whistles on the field started to sound strange.

This situation is also what he hates the most.

Not pure.

And black whistle.

But perhaps it was just the pressure of the home court that made the veteran referee on the field for many years somewhat biased.

But no matter what, he had to investigate it using his own methods.

"After the game, I will ask the league to investigate the referee of this game."

Stern said softly.

Hearing the temptation in his words, Xiao Hua appeared to be extremely upright.

Without a trace of guilt, he just agreed.

"Of course, I support you. We must investigate to see if someone is manipulating this."

Silver's words also made the current NBA commissioner doubt himself, wondering if he was too suspicious.

On the other side, a minute ago, just after Xiao Hua left, the door of another compartment slowly opened.

Lin Chuan walked out from it.

He took a few deep breaths.

Just now I saw a bald man with a bright light standing up and walking out from the sidelines.

Seeing that face was familiar, Lin Chuan immediately realized that it was the future president Adam Silver, so he hurriedly followed him out while there was still free throw time on the court.

I didn't expect to hear such a shocking fact.

But based on what he just heard, his most reluctant guess had come true.

Although the Knicks never wanted to get involved in this kind of thing, the league, or the top management, still had their own ideas and wanted to send the Knicks to the finals.

He walked back to the stadium, stood at the entrance of the audience passage and looked inside, only to see that the scoreboard had changed again.

There is only one minute left in the game.

The Knicks took an 11-point lead.

It only takes two minutes.

How did they do that?
Although Lin Chuan had some doubts, he could figure out most of it when he thought about the referee's actions.

After watching James on the court being mercilessly given a technical foul by the referee after his helpless and furious performance, his guess was confirmed.

Judging from the referee's methods, it is probably because the standards of both sides are completely different, and he played a one-sided whistle at the last minute.

Never mind, there is no point in watching this match anymore.

Lin Chuan was too lazy to even sit back in his seat and watch the last minute.

There is no point in watching this kind of game dominated by the referee.

And his analysis, under such circumstances, seems even more useless.

Tell the team about these things.

Lin Chuan thought silently in his heart and left the stadium early.

As soon as I walked out of the stadium, I heard earth-shaking cheers behind me.

Even though there was a huge building between them, Lin Chuan could hear it clearly.

The madness of Knicks fans is obvious.

From this, Lin Chuan also knew that the Heat did not close the score or turn the game around in the end.

They were beaten by the Knicks.

Fell at the last step in the East.

The Knicks made it to the finals again after thirteen years.

Became their final opponent.

But listening to the cheers behind him, Lin Chuan only felt ironic.

Those fans didn't know what they were watching.

I guess they just thought that their team worked hard enough, which is why they were able to win the game in the end.

But it's sad enough.

The same is true for the Knicks.

Obviously, he is quite strong and can fight his opponent to the end openly and decide the outcome with his hard power.

However, Xiao Hua and the referee intervened and the game became a mess.

After all, it's a business alliance...

Lin Chuan also lost the desire to take a final stroll in New York, and immediately bought a ticket for the nearest flight and flew directly back to Oklahoma.

That night he also received a call from Spike Lee, who sincerely invited him to join his latest movie and asked about the issue of not being able to find him after the game.

Lin Chuan also refused the other party on the grounds that he was too tired and had to go back to prepare for the battle.

Now, he just wants to use his own strength to completely defeat this team that was lucky enough to get through with the help of the referee.
