Chapter 137 The Unspoken Rules of Refereeing

"Hey! This brother Pao is really miserable. Although his personal strength is definitely at the historical level, but looking at his entire career, it seems that his luck is not good."

At this time, Yang Zhan, after the morning run, was eating breakfast while checking the NBA news on his mobile phone.

After breakfast, Yang Zhan went to the arena to start training, and now Yang Zhan mainly practiced catching three-pointers.

Because as the game progressed, Yang Zhan felt more and more that this trick was really useful for him!
Because of his height advantage, it would be a misplacement for Yang Zhan to fight anyone normally. If the opponent uses point guards to defend Yang Zhan.

So even though Yang Zhan can't get rid of the defender, he can also make a three-pointer directly after receiving the ball.

If the opponent uses the forward position to defend Yang Zhan, then Yang Zhan only needs a pick-and-roll, can layup or dribble and shoot. This is also Yang Zhan's main scoring method so far.

After practicing tactical training for a day, Yang Zhan also finished the extra training at night. After returning home, he took a shower and lay down on the bed. Yang Zhan received a call from his sister.

The content of the previous calls was nothing more than talking about the life of some crews, but something else appeared today.

My sister said that she was in New York and made a friend who was an Englishman and a star.

Of course, these are not the most important to Yang Zhan. Fortunately, my sister said that the other party is a woman and she is as old as her.

Yang Zhan breathed a sigh of relief as soon as this sentence came out, if he was abducted within two months after going to New York, he would not "kill" himself if his parents knew about it.

After all, parents like to let their own pigs go to other people's cabbages!

After a day of rest, the Grizzlies started their road trip again, first challenging the third-to-last Atlanta Hawks.

Although the "Eagle King" Johnson efficiently scored 25 points, 6 assists, 5 rebounds, and 1 steal in this game.

But they couldn't stand the Grizzlies' team offense. Five players scored in double figures and shot evenly. In the end, the Grizzlies easily defeated the Eagles 101-93.

Then the Texas Grizzlies lost to the Spurs again, 88 to 94. The Grizzlies never won when the Spurs were full.

In this game, Yang Zhan made 15 of 7 shots and scored 17 points. For the current Yang Zhan, it is not bad to have such statistics in the Spurs who have no player cards to play the whole team.

But the game was too disturbing, because the Spurs players were really dirty. They kept using various levels of physical confrontation to test the referee's penalty scale.

The most exasperating thing is that once they have mastered the referee's scale today, that is the moment for them to act. At that time, even if you are fouled, the referee will ignore it.

In one round, when Atkins broke through for a layup, he was pushed by Muhammad on the inside. Then he asked the referee to argue, but he directly made a technical foul without saying a word.

In today's game, Yang Zhan, who felt pretty good, wanted to open the situation from Ginobili, who was the weakest defender.

But Yang Zhan discovered that it was all fake after the actual face-to-face confrontation. This Nima is the player with the most small moves on the Spurs, and he has no absolute physical advantage to match up with Ginobili.

That feeling is so simple.

In the past, Yang Zhan was unwilling to play small tricks in his heart. At that time, he naively felt that winning would be disgraceful, until he experienced severe beatings from society.

Yang Zhan is really delicious
And looking at all the players who have won a defensive team in history, there is no one who dares to say that his defense has no small moves. (except shameless of course)
Yang Zhan doesn't want to take the initiative to hurt others, but at least he has to learn to counterattack in the same way on the court.

You can't be like before, hit hard and get banned by the league!So once you have the opportunity, you must learn from that old fritter.

In fact, there are really too many unspoken rules in the NBA, such as the so-called superstar whistle required by the league, or who the referee likes to favor in the game.

At the same time, the referee will also take into account the personal relationship with the team's head coach when enforcing the law.

As early as in a certain game in the 2003 playoffs, the head coach of the Mavericks at the time, which is now the head coach of the Grizzlies, Don Nelson.

During the game, he was called a technical foul by Crawford at the time. Nelson was also a grumpy old man. At that time, he directly called a timeout and provoked Crawford.

At this time, he gave consecutive technical fouls and directly ejected Nelson from the field, just because he did not obey Crawford's order.

Then Crawford also expelled Harris, the Mavericks assistant coach at the time.

Even so, Crawford said angrily after the game: "I can't wait to stick a fork in Don Nelson's eye."

And the referee who gave the penalty for this game today is the bald head, Crawford
------

Regarding the unspoken rules of referees I mentioned, I didn’t make them up. In fact, there are many other rules that can be found. I just picked one about Nelson.
