Chapter 1104 Lillard: Don’t Want the Referee to Interfere in the Game (5/5!)
Chapter 1104 Lillard: I don’t want the referee to interfere in the game (55!)
The cheers and whistles were already booming.
77 to 59.
Tang Tian scored 4 consecutive points in this wave of offense, helping the Pelicans open the point difference to 18 points again!
And unlike the previous 18 points, Tang Tian immediately dunked his opponent after being fouled by Nurkic.
This kind of momentum is better than scoring many points in an explosion, or in other words, it is better than fighting in a fight!
You must know that in a basketball game, it is embarrassing to be dunked, especially when a big center is dunked by a defender.
Although Nurkic looked a little annoyed, he was not as shameless as Green. He was dunked and silently took the ball and sent a baseline pass.
Birds of a feather flock together, and if you are on the same team as Lillard, your enthusiasm for playing will not be low.
In the frontcourt, Nurkic continued to support from the free throw line.
But before Lillard and the others had a chance, he turned around and went to the basket to kill.
This is holding back the energy to prove yourself.
"Snapped!"
However, his intention was judged by Butler. After Butler made the weak-side save, he directly took the ball out of his hand.
The Pelicans played a defensive counterattack. After receiving the ball, Walker quickly broke into the frontcourt and made a layup.
The point difference was back to 20 points again.
Several of the referee's penalties affected the game for a time, but after Tang Tian's personal singles, the point difference was widened again.
And with this experience, the Pelicans also have a way to deal with this kind of standard penalty, giving Tang Tian a single shot.
For more than one and a half quarters, the referee made successive penalties that stole the show, but they failed to work as before.
The point difference between the two sides also widened, and it was close to 30 points at the end of the third quarter.
Lillard played the entire second half and led the team in a counterattack at the beginning of the fourth quarter to narrow the point difference to less than 20 points.
But the point difference was too big, and the Trail Blazers ultimately failed to narrow the point difference.
In the end, the Pelicans defeated the Trail Blazers 116-93 at home and won their first victory in the conference semifinals.
Although there is suspense in the first quarter, the suspense only lasts for one quarter.
This result is also expected by most fans.
However, there were far more comments about the game on social media after the game than in the first round.
The most important reason for this is naturally the referee who stole the show in the second half.
"When Xiao Hua came back, he vowed that he would only appropriately relax the penalties imposed during the Tatum period. Is this what is called appropriate?"
"Word games, superficial skills, just for you to see. When the critical moment comes, what should be done will still be done!"
"I'm disappointed. I thought Xiao Hua had changed his gender this time, but I didn't expect it to be like this. What's the point of it!"
"This is Xiao Hua. Back then, the Pelicans were 3-1 and the Cavaliers forced a 3-3. Now that the Pelicans are crushing them all the way, they must take action!"
“A dog can’t change its habit of eating shit!”
"I don't know what will happen to the league's executives, but after watching this game, I never want to see Xiao Hua as president again!"
"+1"
"+2"
…
"+10086"
…
As Tang Tian expected, after this game, the goodwill Xiao Hua accumulated among fans after his comeback disappeared after this game.
The disgusting memory of having the referee dictate the outcome of the game has all come back to the fans' minds.
Even on social media, fans are already voting through third-party plug-ins.
The voting results showed that more than 70% of the fans asked Xiao Hua to step down immediately.
This phenomenon is unprecedented.
But just like when someone loses something, their first suspicion is to point to someone with a history of stealing. Xiao Hua's criminal record is so bad that fans have zero tolerance for him.
What's more, the penalty this time was very bad.
New York Headquarters.
Xiao Hua slumped down on the stool.
He used the referee to intervene in the game, but not only did he not win, but the fans' reaction after the game was also far beyond his expectation.
Generally speaking, losing and losing refers to players.
But this time, he really lost both games and people.
Without the support of the committee and the support of the fans, he will really take the lead and become the official president next year!
"Are we going to continue doing this in the next game?"
Suoke stood aside for a long time, not waiting for Xiao Hua to speak, and finally couldn't help but ask.
"continue."
Xiao Hua gritted his teeth and said.
Ever since the Pelicans formed the Big Four, he has been on the fire.
After that, the Pelicans won consecutively and won 80 games, which made the NBA season lose suspense. He was already forced to have no way out.
This is also the reason why he asked Sock to use the referee in the last game.
He must take advantage of the opportunity.
Although the final result was not satisfactory, he had no choice.
“And we need to increase our efforts so that they can impact the game from the start.”
He then said to Sok.
Originally, he planned to increase his efforts in the conference finals, when the Warriors or Mavericks played the Pelicans.
But the Trail Blazers' outstanding performance gave him hope. Now that he has chosen, he must follow through.
Thok nodded.
He could only obey what Xiao Hua had decided.
After two days of rest, Game 2 of the conference semifinals between the Pelicans and Trail Blazers continued in New Orleans.
Fans' complaints about the referee after the last game became a trending topic on Twitter.
In the second game, fans hope that such a penalty scale will not appear again.
But after the game started, they found that they still thought too highly of Xiao Hua.
This game was filled with highly biased away whistles from the very beginning.
Both Davis and Butler committed two offenses early and were ejected.
The boos on the scene almost drowned out the referees. If it weren't for the fact that they wanted to maintain the style of the defending champion, they wouldn't mind doing a reverse Auburn Palace.
But the Pelicans were still in control.
The most important person here is naturally Tang Tian.
The first player in the league, the referee dare not call randomly.
But it just so happens that the first player in the league has his own system, which is ridiculously strong.
As a result, the Trail Blazers relied on the referee's whistle and stayed in a stalemate with the Pelicans for three quarters.
But in the final quarter, they were still taken away by the Pelicans.
113 to 100, the Pelicans defeated the Trail Blazers 5-on-8 and won two consecutive victories in the conference semifinals.
Tang Tian scored a season playoff high of 43 points.
After the game, the condemnation of Xiao Hua on social media reached a new level.
Some fans even released short videos of burning Xiao Hua’s KT board and besieging Xiao Hua’s residence.
The huge pressure from public opinion made Xiao Hua breathless.
But he persisted.
After two days of rest, the Pelicans and Trail Blazers moved to Portland to prepare for the third game of the conference semifinals.
Fans' comments on social media will naturally be known to the media.
Before the game, some fans posed this question to Lillard, the core of the Trail Blazers.
"I hope the referee will stop making such penalties. I don't want the referee to interfere in the game. We have the strength and confidence. We don't need that."
Lillard's answer surprised reporters, but it was also reasonable.
Lillard's mentality is the strongest in the league. He doesn't like it at all and doesn't need the referee's help.
