NBA: Trading Westbrook at the beginning shocked Lao Zhan

"Hey man, that's definitely a bad call, my hand went for his ball, it hit his face, hey!"

Beverly rushed to the referee, raised his hands above his head, and complained to the referee endlessly.

The Timberwolves fans who saw this scene from the home screen also complained and put pressure on the referee.

The referee gave Beverly a cold look, and explained angrily: "I only saw your hand hitting his face, and then I called you a personal foul. What's the problem?"

"Stop mobilizing the crowd to put pressure on me, Beverly, it'll just get you another technical foul!"

Beverly frowned helplessly. Obviously, the referee's explanation did not satisfy him. He opened his mouth to refute. At this time, the Timberwolves head coach, Chris Finch, couldn't sit still. He was afraid Beverly was called a technical foul by the referee. If that happened, he would be in big trouble!
Chris Finch hurriedly yelled at Edwards on the side: "Hey, Edwards, tell him to shut up, don't let him talk!"

Edwards understood, and rushed forward with a stride, standing between Beverly and the referee, separating the two. After that, Edwards turned his head and pushed Beverly aside.

"Brother, stop arguing with him, you don't want another foul."

Edwards persuaded Beverly patiently.

Hearing what Edwards said, Beverly nodded. Beverly, who has been in the league for many years, has already grasped the referee's scale. He just complained to the referee just to put pressure on him. He must at least let the referee realize that this is Timberwolves. Home!
But now, seeing that the referee was a little impatient, Beverly naturally wanted to accept it as soon as it was good. Just as Edwards came to stop him again, Beverly simply went down this step.

The referee on the side saw Beverly being pushed away by his teammates, so he didn't say anything, and the original idea of ​​giving a technical foul was also appeased.

The farce is over, the game continues!
Since all members of the Timberwolves have fouled 4 times before the first quarter, and Beverly's personal foul at the end of the quarter is the fifth foul, according to NBA rules, James will get two free throw opportunities.

The referee motioned for James to take the free throw, and James nodded and walked straight to the free throw line.

At the same time, many Timberwolves fans stood up from their seats, waved black towels in their hands, and yelled to interfere with James' free throws.

Facing the tsunami-like voices of Timberwolves fans, the veteran James' expression did not have any waves. This level of voice is not worth mentioning to James.

I saw James catch the ball, took a deep breath, and hit the first free throw steadily!
The teammates on the scene stepped forward to celebrate with James, and Beverly, who was on the three-point line, also silently walked up to James at this time, and taunted: "Hey, old guy, make a bet, I bet your next free throw will definitely If you don’t get the penalty, you can bet 10000 dollars, dare you?”

Hearing Beverly's words, James looked back at Beverly, and replied lightly, "Boy, your salary is not enough for you to play like this, but I still want to thank you for the 10000 dollars you gave me. "

After speaking, James shrugged his shoulders to adjust his state, received the pass from the baseline referee, raised his hand to shoot, and easily hit the second free throw.

After James made a free throw, the Lakers and Timberwolves tied again, and there were still 30 seconds before the end of the first quarter!

"Haha, boy, it seems that you won't make any money in today's game, huh?"

James smiled contemptuously at Beverly on the side, said something, and immediately returned to the backcourt to defend.

Hearing James' ridicule, Beverly could only curl his lips helplessly. At this time, the first quarter of the game is not over yet, and the Timberwolves still have another chance to attack. As a point guard, Beverly has no time to fight with James snorted.

After receiving the sideline ball from Towns, Beverly took the ball and advanced to the frontcourt. Now the game is over with 30 seconds to go. The Lakers have all set up their defensive formation at this time. It is unrealistic for the Timberwolves to grab another one. !

But if the time is pressed to attack, even if 24 seconds are pressed, there are still 6 seconds left, and the Lakers may still grab a goal!
Can't fight like this!
While Beverly was dribbling the ball, his brain was spinning rapidly.

Unless, with a few seconds left in the offensive time, the Lakers fouled!

In NBA games, if the offensive team is fouled when the attack time is less than 14 seconds, the offensive team's attack time will be filled up by 14 seconds!
So that is to say, as long as Beverly's ball can cause a foul by the Lakers with a few seconds left in the offensive clock, then the rest of the first quarter will belong to the Timberwolves!
In addition, Beverly just put pressure on the referee, and this is the home court of the Timberwolves. Due to the pressure of the home court, as long as the ball hits the inside, there is a high probability that a foul will be drawn!

Thinking of this, Beverly narrowed his eyes slightly.

That's it!

The decision was made quickly. At this time, there were still 26 seconds left in the first quarter of the game, which was still plenty of time. Beverly just held the ball at the top of the arc and dragged the time slowly.

With 15 seconds remaining on the recorded game time on the timer, Beverly moved!

Facing Gary Clark's defense, without any fear, he pushed the ball and rushed inside, and his body kept colliding with Gary Clark.

This is not the usual style of play for a small guard like Beverly!

Facing the physically strong Gary Clark, this style of play can only show that Beverly's goal was not aimed at scoring!

After looking at the numbers on the counter, James on the side immediately understood Beverly's intentions, and quickly shouted at Gary Clark: "Hands up, don't foul!"

Hearing James' reminder, Gary Clark was very puzzled, but he still followed James' suggestion, raised his hands, and followed Beverly like a telegraph pole.

But the referee's whistle still blew!
"Beep beep, block the foul!!"

Beverly, who heard the referee's voice, was very proud, and licked his lips and gave James a provocative look.

James gave Beverly a blank look, walked to the referee side by himself, and said softly: "Hey, man, you know, my brother Clark didn't block the action at all, this is a problematic call! "

As James said, Clark did not foul!

But this is the home court of the Timberwolves. The referee has his own considerations. James naturally understands this truth, but as a team leader, it is a normal thing to help his brother put pressure on the referee!

The referee also knew that Clark's movements were very small. Facing James' question, the referee was thinking about how to explain it. James, who was on the side, saw the referee with a troubled face, and stopped thinking about it. He pursed his lips and turned away.

The referee secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly continued the game.

The cumulative fouls of the Lakers did not reach 4 times, so Beverly did not get a free throw opportunity for this blocking foul, but his goal has been achieved!
At this time, there are 12 seconds left before the end of the first quarter. According to the rules, these 12 seconds will all be classified as the Timberwolves' offensive time, which means that the Lakers have no chance to make a shot in this quarter!
This made Timberwolves head coach Chris Finch very satisfied. He smiled and said to the assistant next to him: "This Beverly, hahahahaha, not bad, not bad, really smart!"

The assistant coach nodded approvingly: "It's really smart, but, Mr. Coach, I think I need to remind you again."

"what?"

"Beverly has 3 fouls!"

Hearing the teaching assistant's words, Chris Finch's face drooped at that time.

"."

"You think I don't know? Go, go get my tactical board!"
