Chapter 2 Thirty-six Crawford's Hostility
At the beginning of the game, the Timberwolves were in a good state. Facing the offense of the Dallas Mavericks, they could not only defend easily, but also quickly counterattacked, which hit the opponent's morale and caused great damage.
The Dallas Mavericks still didn't get into the game at the beginning of this game. They don't seem to realize that they are two games away from being eliminated.
Perhaps because of the big score advantage, the Timberwolves' young lads played well tonight. Not only did they feel extremely hot, but they could also create effective blocking restrictions on the defensive end.
One of the criteria to test whether a team can go far in the playoffs is whether you have enough defensive ability. Tonight, the Timberwolves played excellent defensive blocks at three points.
On the outside, Li Shihao and Brewer teamed up and contributed three steals in the first quarter, interrupting the offensive momentum of the Dallas Mavericks several times, and quickly counterattacked, scoring points with lightning speed.
The momentum of Dallas has been suppressed again and again, and the situation has reached an extremely dangerous state. At the end of the first quarter, the score of the two teams was 32:23. The Dallas Mavericks were behind and fell behind by 9 points. They were about to break through the double-digit score gap and gave way The anxiety in the hearts of the Mavericks players on the Internet surged even more intensely.
"Steady, fight a wave of offense, stabilize the situation!" Jason Kidd stood up at this time, and his steady and calm characteristics were reflected at this time. What battle has not been seen by Jason Kidd, who has been through many storms?
Losing to the invincible Los Angeles Lakers led by "Shark" O'Neal twice did not make Jason Kidd lose confidence. Today's Timberwolves are still not good!
Jason Kidd dribbled the ball slowly across the half, and winked at Nowitzki near the three-point line on the right. The latter understood and quickly pulled out to support Jason Kidd.
Jason Kidd did not hesitate at all. He dragged his old and sluggish legs, used his excellent sense of rhythm to sway Li Shihao away, and found the passing gap. Jason Kidd directly flicked his wrist, and the ball flew out of his hand, and was rushed Dirk Nowitzki received the hand.
At the same time, Jason Kidd quickly borrowed Dirk Nowitzki's tall body to cover, directly avoided Corey Brewer who quickly moved laterally to defend, and went to the empty basket alone.
Dirk Nowitzki's vision was clear, and he hung the ball directly to Jason Kidd under the basket. The latter stretched out his long arms in the air, and lightly moved the basketball in his hand to the basket.
The ball bounced on the basket like an elf, and then obediently rolled into the net.
The offense was scored and two points were recovered.
When Jason Kidd returned to the court, he high-fived each other with his teammates Nowitzki and Terry. At the same time, he shouted to his teammates on the field: "There are only seven points left, hold on, we can overtake and come back!"
The rest of the Mavericks responded and quickly returned to defense.
In the following time, the Timberwolves' offensive momentum began to become sluggish, and they no longer had the destructive momentum in the first quarter.
The most important reason is that the Timberwolves have started to be "taken care of" by the referee on duty at home. In just the second quarter, Marc Gasol has already committed three fouls, and Dakomilicic has also received a foul. Focus on the game-high four fouls, which directly forced coach Frank Vogel to replace him, put him on the sidelines, and protect him.
The situation of the game didn't look right. The Timberwolves fans in the home target center couldn't help booing collectively to protest the unfair penalty of the home referee. Many radical fans even shouted loudly: "This is Minnesota, wolf territory!"
A fan shouted out, like a weak spark, quickly ignited the entire dry straw pile, and spread rapidly, forming a prairie fire.
The fans in the entire Target Center began to question the referee's punishment, thinking that instead of giving the Timberwolves the treatment of the home whistle, they gave the Dallas Mavericks "care" and wondered whether the referee had accepted bribes in private to tamper with the outcome of the game.
The fans don't know that the referees on the field at this moment are the most uncertain people. They have been notified by the league's top management long before the game, and they want to give the Dallas Mavericks a certain scale of preferential treatment. As for the size of the scale, you need to The referees on duty weigh themselves.
For this game, the league sent Crawford, an old referee who has coached for many years. This referee with a bald head and a number 17 is well-known in the American referee circle. Duncan's famous whistle caused the innocent Duncan to be directly expelled from the game.
And the reason was just because Duncan's laughter made the bald Crawford feel that the latter was insulting him. This weird answer left many fans speechless.
Although after the game, the league gave the old bald referee Crawford a suspension, but the latter's punishment character was just as hot and could not be changed.
As far as the league is concerned, they will not abandon this old referee with full of personality. Bald Crawford is an extremely handy shuriken. Sending him at a critical moment can completely achieve the desired effect of the league.
Tonight's game [-] between the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Dallas Mavericks is an excellent opportunity. Bald Crawford has no intention of showing mercy.
Coincidentally, the team that "Stone Buddha" Duncan was expelled was the Dallas Mavericks. Now after two or three years, the bald referee Crawford has executed a "special" penalty for the Dallas Mavericks .
With a big shiny bald head, Crawford looked at the Timberwolves players on the field expressionlessly, but the look in his cloudy eyes was extremely sharp, as if he wanted to swallow the Timberwolves players one after another.
Li Shihao dribbled the ball across the half court, looked at the positions of the enemy and us around him, and kept evaluating the game situation in his heart.
As the team's brain, Li Shihao understands where his responsibility lies. At this time, he must remain calm and sober, find out the key points to break the game, and lead the team to victory.
Now that the Timberwolves have been whistled and targeted, it is obvious that this game is going to be played away!
Li Shihao glanced at the bald-headed referee Crawford, thinking in his heart: "He is the coach and referee of this game, so unless the game is over, his penalty direction and scale will not be changed. This guy is stubborn. The old man is notoriously hot and ruthless!"
As he was thinking about it, he didn't expect that the bald referee Crawford suddenly turned his head and looked at him with fierce eyes. Li Shihao was shocked, but there was no expression on his face.
Seeing that Li Shihao was indifferent, Crawford said bitterly in his heart: "The guy who studies psychology is what I hate the most!"
