Li Kaiming lay under the backboard for a long time without hearing the referee's whistle. He couldn't bear it immediately. Before his teammates came to pull him up, he got up and complained to the referee, "He didn't touch the ball at all." , and it hit my hand, why didn’t you call a foul?”
The referee at the bottom line ignored him because the Celtics had control of the ball at this time and the game was still going on.
After getting the rebound, Davis handed the ball to Rondo, who dribbled the ball across half court and directly used the last timeout!
There are still 26 seconds left. Rivers needs to plan this attack carefully to ensure that the game time is used up or he can score directly!
When the game entered a timeout, Li Kaiming did not follow his teammates off the field. He rushed directly to the bottom line referee and roared, "His hand completely hit my wrist. The sound was so loud, couldn't you hear it?"
The referee who was standing at the bottom line just now was Kent Nick Kirkland, who was wearing uniform No. 61. After hearing Li Kaiming’s furious inquiry, the latter narrowed his eyes and stared directly at Li Kaiming and said, “In such a fast situation, I It’s impossible to judge at all. I can only call the penalty based on my own intuition. I think Kevin Garnett just hit the back of your hand. According to the player-integration rule, this is not a foul!”
"You could obviously call a foul first and then watch the replay to confirm whether it was a foul, but you didn't call it. You couldn't see clearly what happened. Could it be that your ears can't hear it? Do you need me to pay for you to go to the hospital? Are you looking at your ears?" Li Kaiming's anger did not dissipate because of the referee's explanation.
Kentuckland heard Li Kaiming's offensive words and immediately made a technical foul gesture, and then pointed at Li Kaiming!
Braden in the commentary box said in surprise, "Referee No. 61 gave Li Kaiming a technical foul. What's going on?"
Li Kaiming's argument with the referee after the timeout was naturally seen by the two commentators on the scene. Victor said with some confusion, "Li Kaiming went to Kentney to argue after the layup, and now the timeout has passed. I struggled with the referee and got a technical foul! Was there a foul on Kevin Garnett's defense just now?"
Sanders, who was sitting next to the Wizards bench, saw Li Kaiming going to the referee and immediately followed him. He had never seen Li Kaiming so excited on the court, so he must have something to hide.
Since this is the home court of the Wizards, the on-site director also discovered that the game was controversial, found the defense just now on the video, then zoomed in and slowed down, and put everything that had just happened on the big screen in detail. superior.
"The on-site director slowed down the defense just now. Let's take a look at why Li Kaiming was so excited!" Braden explained into the microphone.
As the screen slowed down, the whole story was immediately revealed in front of everyone, and Victor suddenly realized, "According to the video playback on the scene, just after the Wizards sent the ball in the frontcourt, Li Kaiming broke through to the inside for a layup. , was fouled by Kevin Garnett’s thug! So this was a misjudgment!”
"This is a penalty that can determine the outcome of the game. If Li Kaiming had just scored two free throws, they would have had another chance to attack and would be only one point behind. As long as the Celtics served the ball to the frontcourt, they would have another chance to attack. If the ball holder commits a foul, let the opponent take a free throw to gain the ball!" Braden on the side also looked excited.
Because the referee first used a misjudgment to make the Wizards' offense come to nothing, and then added up the mistakes and called a technical foul on Li Kaiming. After seeing the replay, the fans at the scene uniformly started shouting "Trash referee!"
This is the embodiment of the home field advantage. If it is an away game and encounters such an unfair penalty, the fans at the scene will not only not dispute the team whose interests have been harmed, but will also praise the referee for his good call, because The winner is their home team!
After seeing the replay, Sanders also began to rush forward to put pressure on the referee. The penalty of this ball will directly affect the attribution of victory. Naturally, Sanders will not give up easily.
Faced with the simultaneous pressure of tens of thousands of people, the referees on duty tonight have to take it seriously. If they don't handle it well, it may be difficult for them to get out of the mcI Center tonight. They are not surprised by what the angry fans will do. !
After repeatedly watching the replays of the game at the technical desk, the three referees also believed that this was a player foul. However, the problem was that no referee blew the whistle on this ball at all, so even the Wizards still retained a chance to challenge, but the problem The reason is that the referee did not make a penalty at all and there was no way to challenge it!
Tonight's referee Fitzgerald came to the technical table and told the statistics staff and two commentators the results of this penalty.
And when the commentator told the audience that the original verdict should be upheld, the entire mcI Center erupted into an unprecedented burst of insults!
"Holy shit, what a rubbish referee!"
"Are you blind? Why haven't you changed your verdict after watching the replay? You guys came with a mission tonight, right?"
"I suggest the league investigate the bottom line referee to see if the Celtics gave this guy a top-up?"
"Made, what a piece of shit you are bragging about, even if I am the referee!"
Therefore, the Wizards originally had a chance to get the score back, but with this penalty, the Wizards lost all possibilities.
Moreover, the Celtics also had a free throw for a technical foul. Rivers asked Ray Allen, the most stable free throw shooter, to complete the free throw. As expected, he made a solid hit!
92 to 96!
Then the Celtics sent the ball forward, and the ball was passed to Ray Allen. The Wizards directly fouled, and a few seconds passed. However, because the foul time did not expire, the Green Army continued to serve the ball forward.
When the Wizards finally sent the Celtics players to the free throw line, with 18 seconds left in the game, Garnett made two free throws, and the point difference came to 5 points.
The Wizards quickly passed the ball to Hinrich in the backcourt. Li Kaiming was surrounded by two people and couldn't get the ball at all. Hinrich went to the frontcourt and shot a three-pointer directly against the defense, but unfortunately he missed!
The Celtics took off the rebound, ran out of time, and the game was over!
The Wizards lost to the Boston Celtics, second in the Eastern Conference, 92-98 at home, handing over the No. 1 spot in the Eastern Conference.
Li Kaiming played 47 minutes and made 11 of 24, including 4 of 10 three-pointers and 2 of 2 free throws. He scored 28 points, 9 rebounds and 11 assists. Hinrich scored 8 points and 10 assists, and Blach scored 12 points and 11 rebounds. , Nick Young hit 3 three-pointers and scored 14 points and 3 rebounds.
Since the Wizards' starting lineup played almost the entire game tonight, Yi Jianlian and Sun Yue did not get a few minutes of playing time, and both scored 0.
For the Celtics, Rondo had 12 points, 13 assists and 2 steals. Pierce scored 23 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists on 10-of-16 shooting, and 3-of-4 three-pointers, almost beating Al Thornton. Garnett scored 9 of 14. 18 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 block and 1 steal. O'Neal played 20 minutes and scored 6 of 7. He scored 13 points and 6 rebounds with a super high shooting rate, including 4 offensive rebounds. When O'Neal played, the Wizards' Backboard protection has been greatly tested.
After the game, the players from the two teams shook hands. Ray Allen was quite kind. He hugged Li Kaiming and said a few words. Rondo and Pierce had a relatively cold attitude. They hugged Li Kaiming and left the court. O'Neal's attitude He was rather arrogant. He just shook hands with Li Kaiming and said, "Young man played well," and then walked slowly and leisurely to the players' tunnel.
Finally, there was an exchange between Garnett and Li Kaiming. The former showed a winner's smile after seeing Li Kaiming. The two hugged first. Garnett patted Li Kaiming on the shoulder and said with emotion, "Li, your strength You are still very strong, but don’t be too anxious. When you grow up later, the Wizards’ management will match you with the best teammates, and then you will be able to defeat me head-on!”
Li Kaiming was speechless. How could Garnett have the nerve to say such a thing? How the hell do you win? Don’t you have any points in your mind?
So he smiled and replied, "Really? But I am impatient. I can't wait that long!"
The smile on Garnett's face froze, "Oh? What should I say?"
"Next time we meet, I will take back the victory that originally belonged to me. I will just keep it with you temporarily tonight." After saying that, Li Kaiming turned around and left the court, leaving only Garnett staying where he was.
At the post-match press conference, when a reporter asked Li Kaiming what he thought of the controversial penalty at the end of the game, Li Kaiming thought for a moment and replied, "Those are things in the past. We have to look forward. Everyone will encounter it." It's unfair. Some people will always be immersed in it and attribute all the reasons for their failure to it. But I'm not that kind of person. Let the past pass. I will focus on improving myself and the team. Even if I encounter injustice next time, I will be able to fight back with greater strength!"
Li Kaiming is such a person. Although he is a bit sinister, he is not a fussy person. Misjudgment is a very common situation in basketball games.
He is not like some players who send out dozens of tweets after being beaten, and then complain about the league, complain about the referees, complain about the opponents, and take the opportunity to say that the reason why his team is last in the division is all about the league and the referees. This will put pressure on the league and referees.
To put it bluntly, a misjudgment is a misjudgment, but you should not hold on to it like a resentful woman. As a person, you should look up and look forward.
To put it mildly, when you benefit from a referee's misjudgment, can you also send dozens of tweets in a row just like when you suffer a loss? In the final analysis, it depends on where your butt is.
Li Kaiming sees this matter very clearly, so he completely separates the court and off-court. After the game is over and off the court, everything that happened on the court is in the past tense, and life is ongoing and Future tense.
After the interview, Li Kaiming said goodbye to his teammates and drove back home. After tonight's game, his fatigue level had risen to 45. This was the first time since he raised his physical strength attribute value to 95. The fatigue value exceeded 40, which shows the intensity of tonight's game and the strong defense of the Celtics.
Sun Yue and Yi Jianlian didn't play much in the game, so they used their physical strength for extra training after the game. They all adhere to this attitude. If the coach doesn't give you a chance, it means you are not strong enough. Train hard to make yourself stronger!
This is what Li Kaiming told them during training, and it has now become the life motto of Yi Jianlian and Sun Yue.
