Build a Dream Dynasty

The advantage of the Nets lies in the interior. The strongest point of the Thunder is naturally Durant. However, it may be that a period of rest has cooled Durant's touch. Durant did not hit the ball in the first three offenses after playing. , and West's mid-range jumper helped the team pull the score back to 110, and the two sides entered the same starting line.

Harden returned to the court after a two-minute break, and the Thunder returned to the stage where the strongest outside trio led the team's offense. At this time, the Thunder's tactics were simpler. At this critical moment, the Nets did not choose the previous defensive strategy. After all, that kind of defense is risky and easy to be easily scored by the opponent, which affects morale.

The Nets used a one-on-one defense to target the Thunder, but it was the Thunder's way. What team is the Thunder? There is no team in the league that is better at singles than them.

At the critical moment, in the face of the shooting space given by Bledsoe's defensive shot, Westbrook, who had made two zero shots from outside the three-point line before, made another shot. This time, the ball accurately fell into the basket. Major General West, who made a big mistake in the first half of the fourth quarter, made up for it and helped the Thunder regain the lead.

Westbrook, whose morale was soaring, made another amazing move on the defensive end. George singled Harden at the top of the arc in the penalty area. Westbrook, who was running, accidentally touched George's elbow. A suspected foul was not whistled. Foul, Harden successfully steals the ball and throws it forward. After Westbrook gets the ball, the front is flat. George waved his arms and looked at the referee to express his dissatisfaction. However, the referee did not respond.

And the powerful split dunk, the point difference was widened to five points.

West, Lopez and others stopped George's protest, but the assistant coach failed to hold the disaffected Stevens. Stevens ran to the technical stage and discussed with the referee about Westbrook's thug just now, trying to make his tone gentle, gentle, and gentle.

The image of young coach Stevens has always been gentle and calm. Taking last season as an example, even if there was a conflict with the opponent, it was Carter who led the team. This time may be the most emotional time for him, as can be seen from his somewhat hideous appearance.

If you want fairness, come to sports, if you want absolute fairness, don't come to sports. This truth. Everyone in the sports industry understands it, but it happened at such a critical moment. When the Nets hope to fight the Thunder to the end, the adrenaline rush at that moment is absolutely unavoidable.

He took two technical fouls in a row and was sent off the field directly! The referee actually knew that the penalty this time was controversial, but Westbrook had already completed the next attack. In this case, the result was powerless to change.

In just one minute, the point difference further widened to 7 points, and the head coach was sent off. It is certain that the Nets are in disarray. After all, this is a young team. The four main players on the field are still in the rookie contract period. In the face of injustice and chaos, it is difficult to adjust their emotions in time. This is also inevitable.

The final score was fixed at 119:131. Amidst the boos of the fans at the scene, the Nets lost the national live broadcast. It is precisely because this game is broadcast live across the United States, one can imagine how much pressure public opinion will exert on the league.

TNT's commentators watched the video playback repeatedly when the controversy first emerged. The playback clearly showed that Westbrook definitely hit George's elbow and affected his dribbling.

"Obviously, when George was dribbling, Russell's hand did touch Ya's arm. This was indeed an unintentional collision, but it was definitely a foul!" Barkley, who was born as an athlete, naturally understood, What kind of consequences will a small touch have in sports? His statement is very clear. This should be a misjudgment by the referee.

"But Russell's handling was very smart, and then he scored on a fast break, which made it too late for the referee to change the judgment." Kenny Smith said, "There is no problem with the two technical fouls, Brad Stevens His reaction really clashed with the referee. In the face of a misjudgment, his handling exposed his shortcomings as a young coach. In fact, the referee will make up for this situation in the subsequent penalties. If there is no accident, he will also Received a ticket from the league."

Also because it was broadcast live across the United States, there were many more media reporters who came to the Continental Airlines Center than before. Such a big event happened during the game, and the press conference hall was full.

"First of all, I would like to congratulate the Thunder for winning this game. This is a very exciting matchup, and the performance of the Thunder is good enough. Our players played well enough, but I have to admit that Durant let me never There is no way." Stevens congratulated the Thunder in a gracious manner.

Regardless of the controversy on the field, the performance of the Thunder is definitely worthy of this victory. For most of the game, the Thunder suppressed the Nets.

"A controversial ball on the defensive end of Westbrook in the fourth quarter affected the result of this game. …"

"I don't think it's just an influence. I think it should be called the result of the game. This penalty and the subsequent results directly determine the outcome of the game. Many times, the referee wants to be the protagonist of the game, to be the main character on and off the field. focus, like this one!" A fine is a fine, and Stevens has a salary of 3 million a year, and he can't afford a fine if he really doesn't see it.

. . . . . . .

Regarding the misjudgment encountered by the Nets in the live broadcast of the game in the United States, even the most biased media have to admit that this is definitely a misjudgment. There is no problem with Vince's technical foul penalty, and the controversial remarks he released after the game are irresponsible!

In fact, the power of the media has played too great a role in the public. When all the experts and the media are trying to reduce the impact of this misjudgment, most people will forget what they see and believe what they hear.

The league issued a fine to Stevens that was harsh enough. He contradicted the referee twice, fined him $15,000 for a technical foul, and $30,000 for inappropriate remarks after the game. The total was $45,000, setting a new NBA record for fines against coaches.

In fact, the record created by Stevens is not limited to this. Stern and the referee committee even considered suspending Stevens. This is the first time in the history of the league. It's just a personal matter. The public only sees the amount and won't pay attention to it. But if the first suspension against a coach in history is made for the league's mistakes, then it will be a pillar of shame in the future.

Of course, Jiang Mingliang would not let Stevens pay the money. Stevens' press conference whining is also for the team, isn't it?
