the rest, only noise

Chapter 735 What Are You Looking At

When Louis saw tonight's referee lineup, he suddenly lost his mood.

Darrell Garretson, the most authoritative referee in the league, has a great influence in the referee union.Sometimes, even if Garretson makes some obviously problematic penalties, the coaches will not care too much, because if he offends this person, if he does something in the referee union, life will be difficult in the future.

Louie had offended Garretson several times.But the referees did not target the Knicks because of this, because the Knicks have become a signboard for the league's outward promotion.In terms of influence on referees alone, the league is greater than the union.

Therefore, the only way Garretson can get in Louie's way is by hosting Knicks games.

Unfortunately, he was the referee for the remaining games of the finals.

This was followed by Hugh Hollins, who officiated the previous game with Garretson.

As a black referee, Hollins once broke the defense of many teams.He is extremely good at blowing a penalty that affects the trend of the game at a critical moment, whether it is reasonable or not, he will blow it.There is no such thing as handing over the game to the players at the last moment in the game he is law enforcement.

In the era of three referees, the league always made the referee trio consist of old, middle-aged and young referees, but today, in addition to Garretson and Hollins, there is another Mesozoic referee.

It was also the referee who gave Louis the most headache-"LA Daddy" Dick Bavita.

"The referees I hate the most are here." Louis told the players, "Be careful tonight, these three people call fouls without blinking an eye."

Subsequently, the Knicks' starting lineup.

Zhao Yuanzheng talked about the situation: "Dick Bavita was already on vacation, but he was suddenly recruited a few days ago."

"So there's no him?" Louis asked.

Zhao Yuanzheng nodded and said: "The alliance announced the list of referees in advance, and there is no Bavita."

"What do you think this means?" If, as Zhao Yuanzheng said, Bavita was temporarily added to the list of referees for the finals, it would be interesting.

Because only the Alliance can do that.

Although the referee union can decide who will enforce the law, the league can directly appoint referees by name.What is the significance of choosing the famous "LA Daddy" as the No. [-] referee in the fourth game of the finals?

"Yuan Zheng, you're thoughtful enough." Louis stood on the sidelines and said indifferently, "No matter what they think, I don't care. If it hurts the interests of the Knicks, but you don't notify me in advance, then I'm sorry."

Zhao Yuanzheng only said what he should say, and the rest belonged to Louis and the alliance.

Opening, David Robinson won the jump ball.

The tragic master dropped the ball to catch the ball, and Wilson, who was facing Pippen, decisively gave up the defense of the latter and went to the low post to attack the former.

The tragedian deliberately waited for a few seconds, and when Wilson arrived in front of him, he raised the ball and threw it to Pippen on the outside.

The Lakers profoundly summed up the past two defeats. The change they can make is to decisively shoot the open opportunities on the outside.

So, Pippen gets the ball and shoots it.

A three-pointer hit at the top of the arc, 3-0.

This kind of lucky ball will not change the Knicks' defensive focus, and Louie clapped his hands so that the players don't care.

The Knicks fell into a positional battle, and Stockton found the gap in the Tragedy's defense and suddenly accelerated past the opponent's defense.

The tragedy master's defense was so bad that Louis frowned.

As a hall-level superstar, how can the defense be so bad?

Stockton broke into the three-point line, the ball was passed out, and the person who received the ball was Miller. Aguirre, who was supposed to defend him, was nowhere to be seen, and his body was submerged in the Knicks' off-ball screen.

Miller made a three-pointer and returned the favor.

3 is better than 3
Just in the frontcourt, Wilson and Stockton flanked the tragic division.

The tragedy division had to give the ball to Aguirre.

Wilson immediately came to Aguirre's side. The latter didn't know that the former was here to steal the ball, and there were many flaws when dribbling.

Wilson made an immediate shot, knocking his racket off.

Almost instantly, the ball was grabbed by Wilson, and just as the counterattack was about to start, Bavita whistled.

Defensive foul!

"Is this a foul?" Louie asked, "If it's a foul, shouldn't you have sounded the whistle earlier?"

Bavita knew that Louis was not easy to mess with, so he took a whistle and shouted: "Stand back, Little Lu!"

"If Benj made a foul, you should have blown the whistle as soon as the Lakers dropped the ball! But you didn't. You sounded the whistle after Benj got the ball under control. What are you hesitating about?"

Louie's questioning stalled the game, and the audience in the Forum Arena booed strongly in solidarity with the referee.

"Little Lu, the whistle that has already sounded will not be returned." Garretson said, "It's no use complaining."

"Well, I hope it was just an accidental mistake."

Louis is no longer the stunned young man who was often sent off by the referee. He knows that the pressure on the court cannot use extreme means like a certain future big shot in the United States.In fact, the pressure on the court is more like a perfect bed affair.You have to have skillful foreplay to get to the climax when you break through the middle.

Louis' attack on Bavita was his foreplay.

As long as the referee makes a problematic penalty, he will increase the size. When the game enters a critical moment, if the key penalty is wrong, it will be the climax of the entire pressure.

A smart referee would blow the whistle back to the Knicks, as Garretson had done before.

But not tonight.

Louie didn't see the balance whistle.

The tragedy division called for a pick-and-roll from a high position, and lobbed the ball to Robinson for a dunk.

5 is better than 3
The Knicks' counterattack speed is also very fast. Due to the smooth offense of the Lakers, the defensive end is not focused enough.

Stockton saw his opportunity and sent Ewing a quick serve.

Wilson's quick play, Stockton made a long pass from the backcourt.

Wilson caught the pass just right, and Pippen had to try to defend.Because Wilson's position is already very deep, switching to someone else may give up defense.But he doesn't want to give up, and it would be an exhilarating moment for them to guard Wilson in this situation.

Pippen forced himself in front of Wilson, raising his hands.

It seemed that he had stood still, but when Wilson rushed in front of him, his body hadn't stood still.

The floating body has a certain impact on Wilson's offense.

He leaned on Pippen's body for a layup and missed.

If it's not Pippen who guards him, but other small players, will he be fouled?

No, even Pippen should be given a foul for defending the MVP of the season like this.

Some fouls are marginal actions that can be given or not, and Pippen's action just now is an extremely irregular intrusive defense.

Louis didn't immediately express his dissatisfaction. It's normal for this kind of defense not to call a foul.

Every era has its own characteristics. Since the mid-to-late 80s, referees have tended to loosen their penalties for defensive actions.

Some small characters will be whistled, but the main players basically have the right to be exempted.

And in the playoffs, the referee's standards for judgments will generally be further improved.

Assuming, of course, that you don't meet Dick Bavetta or Hugh Hollins.

So Louis would be surprised, if the action just now was changed to normal, one of the two bastards would definitely not be able to hold back.

"No way?" Louie murmured, "Isn't he really here with a mission?"

Louie's anger was quickly ignited.

Wilson missed a layup, Pippen got the rebound and made a long pass to the tragic division ahead.

The tragic division broke through with the ball, and Ewing switched defenses.In such a narrow space, the tragedian couldn't use his speed advantage to pass Ewing, so he had to lean on Ewing's body.

Ewing maintained physical contact throughout the entire process, which was intense but not appropriate. At the same time, he raised his hands straight, only interfering and not touching the ball.

The tragedy master deliberately found a confrontation on Ewing before making a move.

This trick may be very effective when he hits someone else, but Ewing is already an impeccable defensive machine after Louis has been honed for several years.

His core strength is incomparably strong, and the tragedy master's move is no stronger than the shy little fists of those flesh and blood sitting on Ewing's body for fun.

Ewing naturally stood still, and when the tragic master made a move, only a ruthless block was greeted him.

It seems that everything is going well, the tragedy division is blocked, and Stockton standing behind him will definitely be able to grab the defensive rebound. The Knicks' defensive counterattack is unsolvable for the Lakers.

Darrell Garretson, however, blew the whistle.

Even though it wasn't clear who fouled, Louie had a feeling—that old dog was bragging that they fouled!
Sure enough, Garretson made a dazzling move: "No. 33 New York, fouled by a card position!"

"Slots?" Ewing was stunned for a moment, then furious, "What the hell are you looking at?"

Louis didn't expect that the words he most wanted to say to Garretson would come out of Ewing's mouth.

It's rare that the gorillas can also speak human language!

Compared with gratification, there are undoubtedly more important things at the moment.

Louis walked to the backcourt, he knew that Ewing couldn't handle Garretson.
