The Strongest Bishop in the NBA

"Damn it!"

Howard seemed a little frustrated by being fouled by Harden, but he didn't take it seriously. Before that, he had successfully stopped Harden's offense several times and successfully caught up with the score. One mistake was nothing.

Harden made two free throws, and then the Magic played steadily and successfully hit a three-pointer to overtake the score.

But before the Magic players had time to celebrate, Harden came again.

Harden, who is used to Nelson's defense, doesn't even need the help of his teammates for the pick-and-roll.

And it was still Howard who stood in front of him.

Seeing this scene in front of him, Van Gundy's expression on the bench changed drastically.

"not good!"

But it was too late.

The foul made by Harden last time made Howard a little dissatisfied. He even took two steps forward and took the initiative to meet Harden.

But this time, the two had just approached, and before he touched Harden, Harden threw the ball into the sky with both hands, and his whole body seemed to hit a wall, lying on his back on the ground.

"Squeak!" At the same time as the whistle sounded, Howard was also stunned.

"Damn it! I was placed in a row!"

Van Gundy's face was livid, and he jumped up from his seat like a spring.

"Diving! Referee, that's naked diving!"

The Magic had been chasing points before, so Van Gundy didn't immediately realize that the opponent actually wanted to foul Howard.

If this foul is also whistled, Howard's cumulative fouls will also reach 4 times. The NBA rule is that 6 fouls are sent off the field. In the case of 4 fouls, as an inside player, Howard will be free at any time in the next game. There is a possibility of being sent off, and with 4 fouls on his back, Howard's actions on the court will be greatly restricted, and he will be timid in many cases, and it is difficult to exert his full strength!

Because of this, Van Gundy reacted very violently. He rushed to the referee in two steps and accused Harden loudly.

"Referee, this is a very unsportsmanlike behavior. I suggest you call the opponent's flop for a foul!"

The referee glanced at Van Gundy and ignored him.

Coaching the NBA for many years, many referees have a lot of intersections with the old coaches. They know very well what these head coaches are. Gang guys can call white into black.

Whether Harden dived or not, the referee is not sure, because from his point of view, it was Howard who knocked Harden down, and the line referee did not signal Harden to dive just now.

It is absolutely impossible to rely on Van Gundy's one-sided words as evidence of the opponent's flopping.

It is even more impossible to determine by watching the replay. At this time, there are only two situations in the league to watch the replay video to judge the penalty. One is to confirm whether the shot at the end of a game is valid.

The other is to make sure that any fouls committed in the final moments of a period are counted.

Other more controversial fouls after watching the video to decide the penalty are things that the league has gradually revised and added to the game replay rules 12 years later.

And even in 2019, there are still many controversial judgments that have not been changed in real-time video playback.

Right now, since it is impossible to determine the opponent's flopping, the penalty is undoubtedly Howard's defensive foul.

After making the penalty, the referee ignored Van Gundy, who was chattering around him, and walked straight into the court.

Now Van Gundy was furious.

"Hey! Are you blind? That's obviously a flop! You really should give him an Oscar! By the way, I'll give you one too! The acting is so real!"

Van Gundy, angry at the referee, walked into the court following the referee's footsteps.

Seeing this, the referee blew his whistle immediately without hesitation.

"squeak--!"

Seeing the referee who blew a T in front of Van Gundy, Wang Xiao was amused.

Stan Van Gundy has a hot temper, which is almost well-known in the league. Wang Xiao didn't expect that this guy actually ran to the court to complain about the referee because of a controversial penalty.

In the 2009-10 season, in order to purify the atmosphere of the NBA arena, Stern has begun to draft the relevant regulations of the "zero tolerance" system. In October 2010, the "zero tolerance" system will be officially introduced. Those who question the referee's decision will be whistled without hesitation.

Although the "zero tolerance" system has not yet been implemented, Stern has mentioned this idea to the referee union more than once. Now these referees are all very good. Time to fight back.

Off-court personnel are called a technical foul and will execute two free throws and one throw. That is, after two free throws, the ball is still on the Wizards side. In addition to Harden's previous foul, the Wizards directly get four free throw opportunities , and also has the right to attack the ball.

Harden executed free throws, and then made 3 of 4 free throws. The score was overtaken again, and the ball was still on the Wizards' side.

The better news is that after being blown a T, Van Gundy, who forcibly calmed down, replaced Howard, who made 4 fouls.

Then when the ball was dead again, Wang Xiao also replaced Harden.

Harden started this game and has been on the court for a long time, and the continuous hits to the basket just now consumed a lot of his physical energy.

The Magic lost Howard, and the Wizards replaced Harden. The strength of the two teams seems to have reached a balance point again.

In the rest of the third quarter, the two teams played back and forth, and the Wizards had a slight advantage.

When the game entered the fourth quarter, the main players of both sides began to return. Howard appeared on the stage, looking at the double center combination of Haywood and Jordan Jr., speechless for a long time.

In this game, he played really frustrated.

Not only is he plagued by fouls, but he also wrestles with these two muscular sticks all the time.

Although Howard is not afraid of them, he is also confident that he can gain the upper hand and even win in the contest with these two people.

But these two people are really annoying!

Howard, who has already committed 4 fouls, has to be careful about fouls all the time in the contest with Haywood and Jordan, which makes Howard feel extremely irritated.

In a trance, there was even a feeling of facing the Twin Towers of the Lakers in the finals last year.

Compared with the Lakers' two-tower combination, the two insiders of the Wizards are more than a little bit inferior in ability, but they are more annoying than the Lakers' two-tower combination.

"Damn it! Watch me blow you up!"

(Some people in the book review said that I said Howard was too strong. I think it’s okay. If Duncan Garnett Gasol Yao Ming and these top insiders are against Howard, I will definitely not write like this. Now I am against Howard in the article. They are Heywood and Jordan Jr., a blue-collar center and a super blue-collar who has not yet grown up. He has won the best defensive player for two consecutive years (currently written in the 10th season, and Howard's three consecutive best defensive players in the 11th season), Three-time rebounding champion and two-time blocking champion, Howard, who claims to be able to replace James alone, would be too exaggerated if he can’t even beat these two people?)
