I’m Really Playing Basketball

After the Bobcats swept the Heat 4-0 into the Finals in the Eastern Conference finals, the Los Angeles Lakers in the Western Conference defeated the Timberwolves 4-3 to advance to the Finals.

The Lakers and Timberwolves played in the Western Conference Finals very anxiously. In the entire series, both teams scored more than 100 points in only one game. The intensity of the game and the intensity of defense were so suffocating.

In the entire series, the Kobe boss averaged the most points per game, reaching 27 points, but his shooting percentage was just 40%.

Garnett was the player with the highest shooting percentage in the entire series. Among all players on the two teams, the only player who averaged more than 5 points per game had a field goal percentage of more than 50%, averaging 52%. The rate scored an average of 18 points per game.

In addition to these two people, the other people on the two teams, whether it was Timberwolves’ Pierce, Mai, Rashid Wallace, Caron Butler or David Lee, Rondo, Larry Hughes, did not score. Over 20 and the hit rate does not exceed 50%.

The Lakers are similar, Gasol, Billups, Artest, Odom, their offensive statistics are also very ugly in this series.

After all, throughout the series, the Lakers averaged 91 points per game, while the Timberwolves averaged 89 points per game.

The Lakers averaged 41% from the field and 28% from three-pointers in this series. The Timberwolves shot 42% from the series and 31% from three-pointers.

I don't know if the two teams are shooting poorly, causing the opponent's defense to be more aggressive, or because the defense is more aggressive, causing the offensive shooting difference.

In short, judging from the total data of the two teams in this series, it can be seen that the overall data of the Timberwolves is slightly better.

But in the end the Lakers advanced. This is not because Kobe is the only player on the two teams to average 20 points per game.

The reason why the Lakers can eventually advance, is entirely because the big and small Gasol brothers, and finally dominated the rebounding.

In the final tie-break between the two teams, the first three quarters ended, and the Timberwolves led by 4 points 60 to 56.

But in the fourth quarter, the Gasol brothers, facing the veteran inside of Rashid and Garnett, took advantage of the decline in the strength of the two bodies, especially when Rashid’s stamina tank was almost empty, one after another. Grabbing the offensive rebounds, only Gasol grabbed 3 offensive rebounds in the fourth quarter. This was still a direct offensive rebound, and some of the rebounds caused the opponent's fouls. Gasol alone , Got 9 free throws in the fourth quarter, although the free throws were not allowed, but Gasol still scored 9 points in a single quarter, plus Gasol scored 6 points in a single quarter, the Gasol brothers The last quarter of the tie-break dominated the basket and the game.

In the end, he led the Lakers to complete the Jedi counterattack in the fourth quarter and defeated the Timberwolves 87-83.

However, this game still produced a lot of controversy.

In this home game of the Lakers, in the fourth quarter, the Lakers scored 21 free throws in a single quarter, and the Timberwolves only took 6 free throws in a single quarter.

If the 13 free throws of the Gasol brothers can be said to be the reward free throws that dominate the basket and can be accepted, then the 9 free throws of the fourth quarter of the Co. boss are somewhat controversial.

In this section, the Kobe boss faced the alternate defense of Maizi and Pierce, and the offensive state was average, only 4 in 1 in a single quarter, but the Kobe boss in this quarter caused two three-pointers fouls by Wheat and Pierce one after another.

And every time it's going to be exciting.

So that at the time of the game, Pierce and Mai could not accept it, and surrounded the referee bald Crawford of the game.

That posture, if it weren't for Ganetra, this is the rhythm of beating people.

To say that these two three-pointers foul, is that a foul?

The current NBA broadcast is slow, and it is indeed a foul.

However, in the eyes of Pierce and Mai, when the game is so anxious, such a foul is not necessary at all, and confrontation should be encouraged at this time.

And the most important thing is that in the past six games plus three quarters, we are all at this level of intensity. Didn't you call any fouls?

In the first three quarters of this game, we were at the same intensity. You gave the Lakers 9 free throws in the first three quarters. Why did your scale suddenly change in the fourth quarter?

Although the scales of both sides are the same, this sudden scale change does make the Timberwolves players unable to adapt and accept.

Therefore, after the game, the Timberwolves were very dissatisfied and unhappy, and on the Internet, there was also a lot of controversy due to the situation in the fourth quarter.

After all, this scene is too obvious.

It’s really not Chris Weber’s rhythm. As a live commentator, after the game, Chris Webb almost subconsciously said: "This game reminds me of G6 in the 2002 Western Conference Finals."

In that game, the Lakers fell behind by 2 to 3. After the first three quarters, the two teams drew. The Kings' morale was in full swing and the Lakers were about to collapse. But in the end, the Lakers scored 27 free throws in the fourth quarter.

But even so, the Kings still led the Lakers 92 to 90 with 2.5 minutes left in the fourth quarter.

But in the final two and a half minutes, in addition to O'Neal's two, the Lakers scored 16 points in these two and a half minutes, 14 of which were free throws.

I have to say that the G7 of the Timberwolves and the Lakers is indeed very similar to the G6 of the Kings Lakers.

But, logically speaking, the bald head has been sent in by David Stern himself.

To be honest, the fairness of the current NBA games is still recognized.

So, although Weber said so, the fans are also arguing, but the direction of the arguing is not the shady NBA shady playing with David Stern, and the Timberwolves were killed for the OK ratings of the finals.

Timberwolves fans and many neutral spectators asked the league to investigate why the bald-headed Crawford and the referee team suddenly changed the penalty scale of the game in the fourth quarter.

Faced with such requests from fans and many NBA players, David Stern and the NBA referee committee quickly responded.

In the NBA, the previous referee committee was very cold. Before the change, fans wanted the referee to explain based on the penalty scale, which was basically impossible.

So many people say, NBA referees, there are many people hiding in them.

But since David Stern sent in that bald head and a bunch of referees, NBA referees didn't dare to be so cold.

In recent years, even in order to show his attitude of being close to the people and the players, he will pretend to be a referee report after the game. Although there is no use of the eggs, it does express his attitude.

This time, Crawford was very frank in the face of the referee committee and the NBA's investigation.

"I didn't collect money, and I was not bought by anyone. Every game I whistled was responsible for my profession and the excitement of basketball games. I think the top six in this series. In the first three quarters of the game plus Game 7, there was a problem with the referee's whistle-blowing scale. The final fourth quarter was just a correction to our previous whistle-blowing.

In my opinion, in the previous game, the loose penalty scale was beneficial to the Timberwolves but not to the Lakers. The Timberwolves were taken care of for more than six games. By the fourth quarter of Game 7, the Timberwolves were just not taken care of, the Timberwolves players. You can't think that your own foul doesn't exist just because the previous foul hasn't been blown, and you must use foul action every time you defend unscrupulously.

I am well aware of the impact of the fourth quarter of this game on the fate of the two teams this season. I don't want to ruin anyone's career, but I hope that my whistle can give everyone a level playing field.

I told them when I called the Timberwolves their first foul in the fourth quarter. They need to control their actions, but unfortunately, they may be on the top, or they may be used to it. In short, no one listens to them. my words.

Therefore, I can tell the committee and the league responsibly that I don't think there is any problem with my whistleblowing in the fourth quarter of the Lakers and Timberwolves tiebreaker. "

Originally, on the Internet, all the voices of the bald Crawford were all silent.

The bald Crawford's whistles in the NBA over the years have indeed had a lot of controversy and offended a lot of teams and fans. This time it can be said that with this reason, many team fans want to attack Crawford.

But now, everyone seems impulsive.

Even Timberwolves fans felt that what this guy said seemed to make sense.

In the fourth quarter of the tie-break, both sides are the key to determining fate. The Timberwolves have the advantage of six games and three quarters. In the fourth quarter, everyone must stand on a fair scale. We referees cannot at this time. Encourage confrontation. This is conducive to confronting strong teams. We cannot help encouraging confrontation. This is beneficial to teams that do not confront. What we can do is to maintain fairness and justice at such a moment, regardless of whether your confrontation is strong or not. Whether it is good or weak, we don't care. As long as we foul, we will blow. If you don't foul, you are free. The game is yours and your destiny is also determined by you.

Originally a game that was suspected of being shady, it turned out to be justice from heaven.

Originally a referee who was suspected of being a black whistle turned into a messenger of justice.

This development is something that many people did not expect.

Crawford, who was originally a black bald, became the justice of the entire NBA refereeing session in an instant.

Many fans even shouted, Crawford NBA's first justice referee, in the anxious game like tiebreaker, it is difficult for anyone to stand up and uphold justice, in the end, it is very likely to tolerate those Timberwolves' foul actions. Up.

If it wasn't for the referee of the tiebreaker to be Crawford, I'm afraid the Lakers have already accounted for it.

Just like in society, people who dare to stand up when criminals are committing crimes are actually a minority. Of course, this is just an analogy. It does not mean that Timberwolves are criminals, but that Crawford does have courage. .

After all, he is a referee who dares to give Deng Da a technical foul. How can he do it without the courage?

Crawford is deified as representing justice, and I am afraid that the most uncomfortable thing is that someone stays.

Co-author, did I deserve to be persecuted by this bald head back then?

I also smiled, so I can represent evil, to be wiped out by Crawford justice?

In short, no matter what, the Western Conference Finals came to an end amidst such disturbances and excitement.

The Timberwolves players such as Maizi and Pierce Rondo, who had been exposed to negative emotions, after Crawford explained, it can be regarded as a little bit of grievance tossed.

Of course, the biggest beneficiary of this Western Conference Finals dispute must be the NBA.

After all, if the impartiality of the league is questioned, and fans will question the whistleblowing in every game, quarter, and even every ball, then this game cannot be played or watched. The focus of the fans is also It has changed, and the game is really meaningless.

This incident has further improved the authority of the NBA. It can be considered that after sending in that bald head and his party members, it has brought the authority of the NBA to a new level.

Everything is so beautiful, at least for David Stern.

Crawford, bald, really deserves to be his confidant that he focuses on training.

Sometimes, he is indeed the best to use, although his ability is not so strong.

Although David Stern did not want to shame the Timberwolves, but for him and the league, the Lakers' interests in the Finals are indeed the greatest.

It has been seven years since the OK combination fell apart after the 2003 finals.

In the past seven years, whether it is the regular season, the playoffs or the All-Stars, every time the league plays OK, it can make a lot of money.

So much so that in the 2009 NBA All-Star Game, he and the league played a matchmaking scene for O'Neal and Kobe ~www.NovelMTL.com~ Now, the two are in the finals for the first time after seven years of falling apart. Meet on the stage.

How many fans of Lakers feelings can this bring?

For these people, OK is really their youth.

And this series is definitely the level that belongs to their youth to come back.

After all, O'Neal and Kobe, once again stood on the stage of the finals at the same time.

Only this time, the two are no longer teammates, but opponents.

What's more interesting is that O'Neal's teammate is precisely the magic boy Chen Xiao who broke OK with his own strength.

Although it is really bad to say that O'Neal.

But O'Neill's current situation is indeed like equipment. Chen Xiao is the one who plays equipment and the one who picks up equipment.

In short, in any case, the Bobcats and Lakers finals, if the experts' predictions are put aside, it is indeed a finals full of attention and stubbornness.

It's just that the experts probably don't want to be thrown aside by themselves.

After all, why should we throw us aside?

90% of us think that the Bobcats finished the finals in 5 games. Is it wrong?

Or, do you think that in the finals this time, winning is not the most important thing?

For some people, youth is the most important thing in this finals.

But as the focus of these people's youth, O'Neal and Kobe.

In this finals, victory or defeat is the most important thing.

For the victory of this finals, they can give everything, including their lives.

"Go to TM's youth, memories, and nostalgia. After so many years, don't you just wait for this day!"

At this moment, the minds of the two people are so similar that they are in agreement.
