A focus game in the NBA regular season, the Sacramento Kings lost 114-122 to the Los Angeles Lakers. In the final moments of the game, there was a scene of controversy, which sparked heated discussion after the game.
The focus of the controversy is the ownership of the ball, originally this offensive opportunity, the Kings have already got their hands, but because of a timer failure, and turned into a scramble, who can bear this? Kings coach Gentry suddenly stopped doing it and threw the tactical board to vent his anger.
What the hell is going on? It's clear to you. At that time, the Kings trailed the Lakers by 5 points 114-119, Malik Munch had another free throw, he failed to score, the rebound was under Fox's control, and when he was about to take the ball to attack, he found that there was a problem with the timer and had gone off the table.
Judging from the slow-motion replay, Fox didn't touch the ball, so time shouldn't go by. But it is precisely because he has not touched the ball, so it is not that the Kings have the right to control the ball, although there is no one around him three meters, as long as the eyes are not blind, you can see that the ball is under his control. Originally, the referee gave the Kings a sideline ball at the back, but then the three referees got together to discuss, and then changed it to a scramble, because the ball was in a "masterless" state at the time, and it should be judged according to the prescription.
The Kings were dumbfounded, and both Fox and Gentry were questioning the refereeing team and the technical desk, isn't this a robbery? Originally, the timer went wrong, and the responsibility lies with you, so why let us bear this result? Besides, who was in charge of the ball at that time, and didn't have points in mind?
The appeal was fruitless, Gentry was furious, and suddenly stopped picking, wolf-like to the bench, and threw his hands on the tactical board and pen, all of which were smashed into the chair. But it is only a vent, there is no courage to strike, and finally can only accept this penalty, insist on finishing, losing, and leaving.
