In the final two minutes of the decisive battle, Roy held the ball from the outside, continuously changed directions, and forced Harden in the middle!
Then he drove to the basket and succeeded in a layup.
99:97, the Trail Blazers regained the lead.
Curry also took the initiative to pass the ball to Harden at this time.
You've been great for the whole game, it's time for a breakthrough.
Harden also held the ball in the middle and used his speed and body to beat Roy.
However, he chose to retreat and then took a mid-range jump shot, which he also hit!
The confrontation between talent and talent.
Roy forced a mid-range shot from the top of the arc and scored two points.
Harden attacked again and was double-teamed by the Trail Blazers. He immediately distributed the ball to the high post of Kevin Garfield.
Gasol observed his position on the court like a tower and passed the ball to the basket to Randolph.
Randolph caught the ball and made a layup, tying the game at 101:101.
In the most thrilling last minute, Roy chose to force a three-point shot and missed!
The shot was too risky, and Baron Davis grabbed the backcourt rebound.
He controlled the ball by himself for half the court, suddenly accelerated from the middle, rushed to the basket, and hit a layup!
101:103, the Clippers overtook!
Staples Center cheered.
The Clippers have three people in the backcourt. Everyone has the ability to hold the ball and attack, and everyone has the ability to pass, making it very difficult to defend.
Min Congda saw the ball and cursed in his heart: "Roy, you are worthy of being the Yellow Mamba. Don't you know how to take advantage of Batum's height advantage at the third position? Why do you have to force a three-pointer by yourself!"
Bad memories appeared in Min Congda's mind.
In last year's opener, it was Kobe's blind shot at the critical moment that led to the Clippers winning.
Roy is known as the Yellow Mamba. Is it possible that I will die at the hands of Mamba again?
McMillan called a timeout with 22 seconds left before the end of the game.
It was enough for the Blazers to launch another offense that changed the situation on the court.
It was Roy who still held the ball. Ade came over from the high position to pick and roll him, and Roy broke through from the left.
After driving Randolph's defense, the ball was passed to Aldridge who cut in.
Aldridge caught the ball and went straight for a layup, but was interfered by Gasol rushing from the side and missed the layup!
The Clippers grabbed a backcourt rebound, Harden dribbled into the frontcourt, and the Trail Blazers players could only foul.
Now the Blazers' hope of winning is slim, and Harden has to stand on the free throw line.
However, after Aldridge missed the ball, he shouted at the referee: "Foul! The player fouled on this ball! Why didn't a foul be called!"
The TV camera replayed the ball and showed that Gasol was indeed fouled on the ball, and the defense hit Ade's arm.
Referee McCutchen did not blow the whistle, thinking it was a normal defense.
On the sidelines, McMillan was very excited and yelled at McCutchen: "This is a foul! The thug fouled! He should be given a free throw!"
If there were free throws on this ball, the Blazers could tie the score and the situation would be completely different.
But McCutchen just shook his head and said to the technical stage: "Batum fouled, James Harden made two free throws... I'm sorry Aldridge, I didn't see Marc Gasol foul, I didn't see it. You know. , the result is determined.”
Ade was elbowed by Randolph tonight, and then was fouled by Gasol but didn't call it. No matter how good-tempered he is, he can't bear it.
He cursed directly at the referee, but was called a technical foul and Curry had to make a free throw.
The fans at the scene cheered. After all, this is the home court of the Clippers, and the fans don't care so much.
But their general manager needs to take care of it.
Min Congda saw this ball clearly. Gasol did foul.
He thought, the referee whistled two free throws, the score was tied, and there was still a chance for overtime.
Good guy, just stop bragging! Handed the victory to the Clippers!
This surprise surprised him so damn much.
Min Congda stood up and yelled at McCutchen: "The thug who f**ked the last ball! Thug! Why didn't you blow! Do you know that our Clippers won't be reconciled even if we win! Did you f*ck listen to me? ? Where’s my popcorn… Damn, I didn’t buy any popcorn.”
Min Congda wanted to hit McCutchen with popcorn, but he didn't have the crime tools at hand today.
McCutchen stood on the sidelines and heard Min Congda yelling at him, but did not look back or pay attention.
Before the game, Joe Bozia had already reminded him, no matter what happens, ignore Smart Min.
Even if the Clippers win by 30 points, this guy might scold you, so just ignore him.
McCutcheon is indeed a person with first-class psychological quality and will become the league's deputy director of referees in the future.
He remained unmoved in the face of Min Congda's scolding behind his back and just ignored you.
Then Curry made a free throw, Harden made two free throws, and the score came to 106:101.
The 5-point difference left the Blazers with less than 10 seconds.
As Roy missed a three-point shot from the outside, the Clippers won the game and got a good start to the new season.
When the buzzer sounded at the end of the game, Min Congda was furious. At this moment, he was a member of the Trail Blazers.
Of course, the Trail Blazers players and coaches were not reconciled. After the game, McMillan kept communicating with the officials at the technical desk.
Min Congda rarely attended the post-match press conference and was interviewed by reporters.
When asked about the controversial key goal, he said straightforwardly: "Based on the live broadcast of the game, Gasol's defense was indeed a foul, a thug foul. Although I am the general manager of the Clippers, I also It should be pointed out that this penalty is a mockery of the professionalism of NBA referees! Throughout the past season, I have been constantly raising opinions with the league about referee issues, but the league has not made any improvements except fines!"
"Although we are the beneficiaries of unfair penalties in today's game, what about next time? What about the next time we become victims? Who will speak up for us?"
“So, I have to stand up and challenge the league’s poor refereeing, which shames the fairness of the game, deprives the winner of the joy of victory, and prevents the loser from willingly accepting the result of defeat. This was a failed call and a failed game!"
"I will put down these words here. I know some people dare not say it, but I dare to say it! If you have the ability, fine me money! Aren't you the league just going to fine me money? I'm not afraid of you at all! David St. Mr. En, I look forward to your positive reply!"
After saying these words, the anger in Min Congda's heart calmed down a lot, and he was even a little happy.
Think about it, if you lose this game, it will only be a salary of US$2,000.
However, if you take this opportunity to angrily complain about the league's refereeing issues, or even directly provoke Stern, the harvest will be different.
Once the league imposes a fine, it will be at least 20,000 US dollars, and with such harsh criticism this time, it may be 50,000 or even 100,000 US dollars!
Anyway, if you win one game, you win one game. How can the harvest of tens of thousands of dollars be comparable to that of 2,000 dollars?
At this time, Min Congda had forgotten that losing was not just to get money, but also to show off!
The four words "never forget the original intention" are blurring in front of fines and bonuses.
The next day, the NBA officially gave a reply. Gasol's defense was indeed a foul.
But the game was over and the result could not be changed. The Clippers still won the game.
At the same time, Stern also gave a positive response: "The league humbly accepts the criticism raised by Smart Min and will conduct a major training and rectification of the referee work. Thank you very much for your supervision of the NBA game environment. The NBA's Thriving, it’s all thanks to you.”
To everyone's surprise, NBA officials bowed their heads.
This situation is rare. Smart Min, the general manager, is really awesome.
From fans, to players, to the media, there was a lot of discussion about this, and they thought it was an amazing feat for Min Congda to stand up and speak out!
As for the person who accomplished this feat, after seeing the news in the morning, he could only lament in his heart:
"I'm from RTNN, why don't you fine me? Why are you so timid? You are too timid!"
Min Congda fell into deeper despair. He didn't lose the ball, and he didn't get the fine. He really lost his wife and lost his troops.
At this moment, he suddenly had a deep understanding of a love motto he had heard: Ignoring it is the best revenge.
I forgot to set up the automatic update, and the fifth update was late. . . .
