NBA: I am the card dealer

Chapter 199 The Art of Showing Hands

The corner referee froze for a moment, opened his mouth, and was speechless for a moment.

Everyone is well aware of this double standard. In games, there will always be penalties that are slightly biased towards the home court. Most players will choose to swallow this bad breath.

after all.

No one can compete with the referee.

Even superstars sometimes have to break their teeth and swallow it in their stomachs. At most, they are secretly angry and have to make up for it in the game and prove themselves.

result.

Xue Liancheng pointed it out like a fool.

Isn't this the same as grabbing his neck?

How could he still be able to speak?

In fact, if another person questioned him like this and challenged his authority, he would have added a technical foul without hesitation and ejected the person directly.

Even if it was another game, he could do this without any scruples and tell Xue Liancheng to get lost, thus maintaining his authority as a referee.

But this game is different.

Cavaliers VS Heat is the most popular team at the moment. The Big Three versus the Big Three has attracted countless media attention and countless fans. Basically everyone is looking at it with a magnifying glass.

Although it is not yet to the point where a single flaw can not be tolerated, there cannot be very outrageous penalties.

If it's so outrageous that the audience sees it, the pressure of public opinion will hit you like a tidal wave in an instant.

Being scolded, questioned, and condemned are actually small problems.

The big problem is that he will be investigated by the league, which will affect his job.

after all……

He also knew in his heart how outrageous this penalty was.

If Xue Liancheng tolerates it, then this matter will be over, but if it gets serious, it will hurt others and himself.

Many referees judge black to black, but they will also choose actions that can be judged or not judged to deflect the call. It is absolutely impossible to expel people for no reason like this.

Don't think that the referee can dictate everything.

In 07, the famous bald referee Crawford ejected with a smile, which is a classic case.

At that time, the Mavericks and Spurs were playing in the third quarter. Duncan caught the ball and beat Diop, and easily shook off the defender and scored the ball. However, the referee Crawford blew the whistle at this time. He thought it was a 2+1, but But Duncan was whistled for an offensive foul.

So Duncan stepped forward to reason. He didn't think he had fouled. Seeing that Duncan was a little emotional, Popovich quickly replaced him and asked him to calm down.

However, after returning to the bench, Duncan did not take a good rest, but was extremely active, which was completely different from his usual style.

When the Spurs were called for another defensive foul, Duncan winked wantonly at Crawford on the bench, and Crawford saw it all, and then whistled Duncan's first technical foul.

When the Mavericks missed a free throw, Duncan became even more aggressive on the bench. He clapped his hands and applauded while grinning. Strictly speaking, Duncan's behavior had a hint of provoking Crawford's authority.

In the next round, Crawford once again called a Spurs player for a foul. At this time, Duncan covered his face with a towel on the bench and laughed wildly. Crawford finally couldn't help it anymore and gave Duncan a second technical foul. .

Duncan was directly ejected from the game after receiving two consecutive technical fouls.

A very absurd famous scene has been achieved.

——The smile was expelled.

Then David Stern became furious, publicly claiming that the NBA, as the top basketball league, does not allow such absurd penalties, and even suggested that Crawford should see a psychiatrist.

It was announced two days later that the bald referee Crawford was suspended indefinitely. In the following playoffs, Crawford did not appear again.

It was not until eight months later that the bald referee was able to resume his refereeing qualifications.

And with just such an imprudent whistle, Crawford almost ruined his refereeing career and ruined his job.

and so.

The corner referee actually didn't dare to do whatever he wanted.

The player who was specifically whistled for was a popular top star.

of course.

None of the above is the point.

The point is, the reason why this game is so popular is because of the existence of Xue Liancheng VS James, the topic and discussion are so intense.

Xue Liancheng is the absolute protagonist.

If even the protagonist is expelled, how can this game be a failure?

Who is watching?

The ratings are expected to plummet soon.

The entire basketball world will be shaken, doubts will be overwhelming, countless fans and the media will greet him, and the league will interview him directly.

To put it lightly, it is consuming the credibility of the alliance and being questioned by the public.

To put it seriously, doing so will shake the foundation of the league and lose a large number of fans.

This is not the result he wants to see, let alone the result the league wants to see.

He just wanted to curb the Heat's momentum and suppress the powerful Xue Liancheng, but he never thought of doing something so big.

and so.

After two blows, the referee in the bottom corner glanced coldly at Xue Liancheng.

Before I could respond.

James seemed to have been stepped on, and he almost jumped up. He spread his hands out of habit, with an angry look on his face, "This is blatantly questioning the fairness of your call. Shouldn't I be given another technical foul?"

He has reason to be angry.

Xue Liancheng did not shy away from naming him, and even said that he had the privilege of spreading his hands, which was a sarcasm of his performance on the field.

Just like you are good-looking, but others say you are ugly, you will definitely not be angry, because you know that the other party is jealous of you.

But if you are ugly and others say you are ugly, then you will be furious and furious. This is human nature. No one can bear it when your ugly side is exposed.

And Xue Liancheng said that he was addicted to spreading his hands. Combined with the previous statement that he was like a crybaby, always crying to the referee's father for the whistle.

These are the bright facts, like a knife, right in his heart.

And gouge back and forth...

The blood that flowed out made his face turn red.

Ok……

Lies don't hurt, truth is the knife.

And it's a fast and hard knife.

this moment.

James was about to explode.

Xue Liancheng never expected that I, Emperor James, could be so thick-skinned and shamelessly jump out to direct the referees. He sneered twice, "Hey...he spread his hands again, and he taught you how to do things. This What can I say?"

The referee in the bottom corner blushed with shame, and slapped his face hard.

The reason he whistled a technical foul on Xue Liancheng was that Xue Liancheng had given up his hand.

result.

James spread again and again.

He even taught him how to do things.

This……

It simply made his old face unbearable.

At this time, if he didn't react at all, wouldn't that prove that what Xue Liancheng said was true?

James has the privilege of showing off his hands...

He's calling a double standard...

After James heard this, he quickly put down his spread hands angrily.

But it's too late.

The referee in the bottom corner made a technical foul signal again.

The direction pointed is exactly LeBron...

My eyes widened in vain, and I subconsciously spread my hands again.

But halfway through, I realized what I was doing and quickly put it down.

He looked as if he had stepped on a fire chestnut, jumping up and down, asking three reasons in a row, "Why? Why? Why?"

The referee in the corner didn't want to dwell on this matter anymore, "I said, I don't allow anyone to complain to me."

One person and one person, is it fair?

My great Emperor James: "..."

He opened his mouth, but no words came out.

And at this time.

TNT studio.

O'Neill was even more confused, "What happened? Can anyone tell me what happened?"

Barkley also had a look of doubt on his face, "A technical foul on Xue Liancheng? Or on LeBron? What did they do? It seems like... they didn't do anything, right?"

Ernie Johnson was also surprised, "It seems like two technical fouls were called..."

And at this time.

The replay of the previous round was playing on the screen.

Display of process actions.

James did commit a foul, but he wouldn't be given a technical foul, right?

If Xue Liancheng is given a technical foul, there will be no reason...

The entire audience was also puzzled, what is going on here?Who was the technical foul on?And why give it?

And right now.

The referee and the line referee have already rushed over.

The referee was the first to ask, "What happened?"

The referee in the corner was full of bitterness and didn't know how to answer for a moment. Could he tell the referee that Xue Liancheng actually didn't do anything and he was given a technical foul just because he showed his hands?

If it's a common foul, that's it.

But this is a technical foul, accumulating two players will be expelled.

Generally speaking, he will be more cautious when calling penalties. After all, this is the top basketball league, and he is also a professional referee who has passed various examinations.

He was too embarrassed to say such a nonsensical technical foul.

James also smacked his mouth, not knowing what to say.

In the end, it was Xue Liancheng who answered, "This gentleman told us that we cannot show our hands. If we do, we will get a technical foul."

As soon as these words came out.

The two newly arrived referees subconsciously looked at LeBron James next to them, and the expressions on their faces became extremely exciting.

This time.

James couldn't help but blush.

Obviously.

In fact, he also knew in his heart how outrageous the number of times he spread his hands and complained.

If according to this penalty standard, then he can be punished to the point where he can be expelled from every game without losing a game...

No matter how thick-skinned he is, he can't help but feel ashamed...

Only then did the referee at the bottom corner say, "The two of them have been spreading their hands and complaining about the penalty and asking for the whistle, so I gave each of them a technical foul."

The referee immediately understood what had happened, straightened his expression, and supported his colleagues, "I hope you remember that you are here to provide everyone with a wonderful game, rather than trying to rely on the whistle to influence the game."

After a pause, he continued, "Also...I solemnly state that you can show your hands, but we will not be merciful if you complain about the penalty."

It would be too much to give him a technical foul just for showing his hands.

As the referee, he must correct this.

Although James was full of confidence, he did not dare to say anything more.

after all……

The referee first gave Xue Liancheng the whistle, which was simply a technical foul.

To put it bluntly, there is no reason to whistle.

It's obviously biased towards him.

It was he who bumped his head into the gun and let the referee pull the trigger. What can he say?

I got an advantage but am not satisfied. There is no reason to blame the referee anymore.

Xue Liancheng just shrugged and said nothing more.

The result is a bit unexpected, but seems reasonable.

When he questioned the referee at that time, he actually thought about the consequences. If he encountered some referees with a tough and bad temper, he would probably be expelled.

But the attention of this game has become his confidence.

after all……

It was only halfway through the game, and he, the core of the team, received two technical fouls and left the field, and he was expelled for such a nonsensical reason. Normally a clear-minded referee would not be able to do this.

Besides.

He was really angry then, and he is still angry now...

Being whistled for a technical foul for no reason, it would be difficult for anyone to take it calmly.

Especially this kind of unreasonable whistle blowing, which is an obvious double standard.

Ordinary fouls are fine.

This is still a technical foul.

What a bully.

He couldn't swallow this breath of birdiness.

The most serious consequence is eviction. What can I do?

That's why he questioned him on the spot.

He also thought about looking for Riley afterwards and let the old gangster Riley put pressure on the alliance.

Now it seems that there is no need. The referees themselves dare not be tough, so they made up for him.

At this time, if he still pursues her, he would be a little ignorant.

This hand-to-hand turmoil finally happened suddenly, and it ended suddenly.

Ernie Johnson: "The frontline statisticians have reported that Xue Liancheng and James received technical fouls respectively. The reason? Um... complaining about the penalty?"

O'Neal was stunned, "Complaining about the penalty? I remember the replay just now, Xue Liancheng didn't say anything."

Barkley also frowned, "Yes, according to the replay footage, Xue Liancheng did not complain to the referee, why is this still a technical foul?"

Ernie Johnson: "Is it possible that hand-slapping is also a form of complaint?"

O'Neill and Barkley's eyes widened in vain, and they exclaimed in unison: "Showing your hand is also called for a technical foul?"

Ernie Johnson: "I don't know, I'm not sure, I'm just guessing."

Barkley said bluntly: "It's simply ridiculous. If that were the case, LeBron would have been off the game long ago..."

O'Neal said truthfully: "You are wrong. If you show your hands and you will be whistled for a technical foul, then LeBron's basketball career will be over a few years ago."

As soon as these words came out.

The whole studio rejoiced.

All three of them couldn't laugh...

Xue Liancheng returned to the bench. As soon as he sat down, Si Bo came over and asked, "What happened?"

Xue Liancheng said: "The referee said it is not allowed to show hands..."

Si Bo was stunned for a moment, "What?"

After confirming that Xue Liancheng was not joking, he was stunned. "Then wouldn't LeBron have been sent off a long time ago?"

Xue Liancheng: "I asked the referee the same thing, but the referee couldn't give an answer."

Spoelstra was furious: "This penalty is like shit..."

But the game has to go on.

Players from both sides quickly returned to the court.

Cavaliers attack.

Irving stood up again and used his personal ability to stop the team's bleeding.

Look back.

Facing Irving, Xue Liancheng didn't hesitate at all, and directly attacked Irving to kill the basket.

Forcefully push people away.

Layup.

Hit again.

After landing.

Xue Liancheng immediately spread his hands.

And it was still facing the referee in the bottom corner.

What the hell...

Let you see what is the art of spreading hands.

Didn't you say that I'm not allowed to spread my hands in front of you?

Then I just want to show it to you.

——So strong, so unstoppable.

Will he not be called for a technical foul this time?

The referee in the bottom corner turned black.

This is Chi Guoguo's provocation!Give him a loud slap across the face.

But when he thought of the referee's words and the turmoil of the showdown just now, he suppressed it.

After all, you feel guilty!

If you continue to brag at this time, it will obviously be to vent your anger rather than to maintain the authority of the referee.

What's more...

What Xue Liancheng meant may be another way: scoring is that simple.

Ok……

Correct!

That's how it should be.

But if Xue Liancheng's gesture of spreading his hands fell into James' eyes, it was a completely different matter.

How did he spread his hands?

It's towards the referee, which means asking for the whistle.

Xue Liancheng's show of strength was after scoring a goal to show everyone his toughness and prove his strength.

The two can be described as two extremes.

This irony, like a lump of irony, stuck to his face abruptly.

How could this not make him angry...

How can this not make his teeth itch...

if it is possible.

He really wanted to tear this bastard Xue Liancheng to pieces on the spot.

He was the number one player in the league, but not only did he not receive the respect he deserved, he was also ridiculed to the extreme.

It's absolutely disgusting...

He was secretly cruel and wanted to save his face.

Look back.

As soon as Irving pushed the ball past half court, James couldn't wait to ask for the ball.

Reach out to signal Love to pick and roll.

After going around.

Ibaka also adopts the strategy of preventing breakthroughs but not shots.

He didn't care anymore.

Start acceleration.

Just carry Ibaka forward.

The Heat's defense shrank instantly.

In addition, Gasol stood up early to block the route.

James has nowhere to go.

Jump directly to the other side.

Mid-range shots.

result.

Still iron!

James cursed: Mad FK

He failed to respond and showed Xue Liancheng the art of spreading his hands, which made him furious.

But all I can do is curse.

Next.

Basically, as long as he scores a goal, Xue Liancheng will definitely show his hand.

After spreading to the referee in the bottom corner, he spread to the main referee.

After stalling to the head referee, he stalled to the sideline referee.

And the most important target is my big James, LeBron James.

This endless ridicule made James more and more excited, and his head began to smoke.

What was most unacceptable to him was that he had no way to respond and could only allow Xue Liancheng to be humiliated.

Ernie Johnson: "Xue Liancheng is showing off his hands every time he scores. This...did I guess right just now?"

O'Neal was even more happy, "It's interesting. If I remember correctly, the symbol of this hand is Michael Jordan. This guy was very arrogant back then. After scoring, he would show his hand to the player who was defending him, indicating that scoring was like taking something from a bag. Just as relaxed, yet so strong, yet so helpless, Sir Charles, is that so?"

Barkley shook his head bitterly, "That's true. Danzi always taunts his defenders with his hands outstretched. It's very emotional, but...in recent years, hands outstretched has become a sign to ask the referee for a whistle. It's really sad..."
