The three-point line is really too close

Chapter 50 Black Whistle? !Stern's wisdom!

……

The game is over.

101:117, the Lakers failed to get out of the Key Arena and suffered a crisp defeat.

The referee blew Zhang Bolong's charge and defensive foul two minutes before the start of the game. Jackson had to use Parker to replace him in advance for the two fouls, which directly disrupted the Lakers' pre-game tactical arrangement.

The intermittent whistling made the Lakers players start to restrain their hands, and the Sonics took advantage of the opportunity to play a wave of small climaxes.

Momentum on the basketball court is very important. Taking advantage of the trend, it is easy to score points, and even easily suppress the opponent's offense and defense; counterattack against the trend, you must withstand the huge pressure and use one tough goal after another to gain a foothold.

The momentum of the game was undoubtedly manipulated by the three referees.

After the Sonics widened the point difference, the referee gave the Sonics a few fouls at the right time, and the Lakers, who wanted to counterattack, stood at the free throw line and spent time.

It seems that the number of fouls and free throws on both sides is about the same, but the fouls of the Lakers are all terrible, and the fouls of the Sonics are not painful.

When many fans hear the "black whistle", they will take a look at the statistics, and then start to refute:
罚球29:26，犯规24:27，这也能说黑哨？把罚球去掉最多扣3分而已，加上10分你也赢不了啊。

This kind of fans usually pretend to be confused with their understanding, or they just watch the football and watch less.

Referees are used to whitewashing fairness from the balance of statistics, but anyone who has watched the game can directly feel how biased the whistle is.

Of course, the Sonics also performed well in this game. They continued their excellent three-point performance in the previous game, making 31 of 16 three-pointers in the game.

雷-阿伦投中5个三分球，拿下32分6次助攻，刘易斯三分球10投6中，贡献25分6个篮板，神准控卫里德诺拿下22分7次助攻，力助超音速避免了自1985年以来首度以三连败开局。

If the whistle blows normally, they have a great chance of winning. After all, it is unrealistic to expect Zhang Bolong to score 10 three-pointers every game. Only brainless novels dare to write like this.

On the Lakers side, Zhang Bolong was troubled by fouls. He only played 26 minutes in the entire game, made 8 of 3 three-pointers, scored 12 points and 4 assists, and committed 5 fouls.

Kobe also had reservations because of his knee, and he took fewer shots. He mainly focused on organization. He only took 11 shots and scored 17 points, but sent 9 assists.

It's a pity that the two of them didn't get enough support, and the other teammates, including Ao Daidai, felt surprisingly bad today.

奥呆呆10中3，埃文斯4中0，拜纳姆11中4，再加上顶替了张勃龙大多数出场时间，最终却8投2中仅得到5分还没有助攻的帕克……

This is the epitome of the performance of the Lakers today.

Unable to attack and defend, Kobe even smashed the ball on the base of the basket because of a whistle from the referee, and left the court after receiving a technical foul.

In the end, the Lakers lost to their opponents in an away game, their first defeat this season.

……

NBA League,

CEO's office.

David Stern turned off the TV, took off his glasses and wiped them lightly.

"Adam, what do you think of this game?"

"My lord, this must happen... Oh no, President, you mean the home whistle of the Sonics? I personally think that the three referees have a good grasp of it. Judging from the statistics after the game, no fans can find it. What's wrong, let alone this is just an ordinary regular season, maybe three days, maybe five days, no one will remember."

Adam Silva felt that there was no problem with the home whistle of this game under the cover of the balance whistle.

The balance whistle means that the referee realizes that there is a problem with his whistle just now. Usually he will find a whistle for the disadvantaged side at the other end of the field and blow a dispensable foul to make up for his mistake.

As for the home whistle and the star whistle, they can be regarded as the unspoken rules disclosed by the NBA, and the brothers understand everything.

These two whistles not only take care of the emotions of fans who come to the scene to support the game, but are also conducive to the marketing of the NBA, creating powerful and influential stars, so as to feed back the enthusiasm of the league and complement each other.

Corresponding to the star whistle is the rookie whistle. NBA rookies who are newcomers are often "targeted" by referees and taught to behave.

Especially for the inside players who support the team's last line of defense, in addition to taking care of their own defensive targets, they are often responsible for blocking gun holes, which will inevitably cause foul trouble. Yao did not suffer from this when he entered the league.

"You're still too young."

Stern shook his head. Silva didn't grasp the crux of the problem. He wanted to mention this possible future successor, so he asked again:

"Tell me, who is the hottest player in the league right now?"

Silva replied: "Kobe, LeBron, Vince or Kevin? Dwyane is also very popular. His performance in this year's finals is historical."

"I'm not looking for answers that even street bums know."

Stern put on his glasses, with a disappointed tone in his tone.

"You are the vice president of the alliance. You should take a longer-term view. You can not only see the present of the alliance, but also the future of the alliance."

"The future of the alliance?"

"Did you watch the last game of the Lakers?"

"Yeah," Silva nodded, "Long played very well, and the final goal was very chic. The highlights of this game are also very popular on the whole network."

After finishing speaking, Silva changed his words:
"However, his popularity is not solid. He is just a rookie. To be honest, it is not difficult for many NBA players to play such a game. In my opinion, he cannot compete with Kobe and LeBron. Shoulder to shoulder."

"That's because you didn't see the value in him. No matter in terms of appearance or football skills, he has the potential to become a high-quality idol and can attract a large number of fans. You said, why didn't I prevent him from riding a motorcycle in violation of the ban?"

Stern shook his head and continued:

"One is because he rides a motorcycle for training, not for stimulation like those muscular sticks with well-developed limbs;

The second reason is that his behavior of wearing sunglasses and riding a motorcycle to training has become a symbol of himself, causing a wave of fascination. He is the natural focus, attracting countless attention at any time. "

The eyes of this little white-haired old man shone with wisdom:
"What is the most important thing in the development of an alliance? It is attention.

Without the attention that Erwin and Larry brought, the league might have been dead in the 80s.

Without the appearance of Michael, the alliance would never be as prosperous as it is now.

Therefore, I will 'create gods', because 'gods' are the existence that can provide the most attention.

Why do you think the NBA can dominate other leagues, and what is the difference between us and leagues in Europe and other regions? "
