Lakers home to meet the Pacers game, the first quarter of the game lakers 32-23 lead the Pacers 9 points, but the Lakers played a good first quarter game, Westbrook started the same fierce, especially the three-point line shot Westbrook really shot confidence, after hitting 2 consecutive three-pointers, Westbrook continued to shoot three points, but in the face of Craig's flying defense, Westbrook threw this three-point shot caused controversy, because Westbrook injured Craig and was changed.
After Wei Shao shot the three-point shot did not hit, and the deviation is more outrageous, Craig is also the first time to receive a defensive foul, Wei Shao also thought that he stood on the free throw line to execute 3 free throws, helpless Wei Shao was challenged by the Pacers, and finally Wei Shao was changed to an offensive foul, Craig successfully created Wei Shao offensive foul, but Craig also paid a heavy price, because Craig was injured by Wei Shao, the face was directly bleeding, I don't know if the referee is because Craig was injured by Wei Shao, only to choose to change the judgment? In fact, the details are already very clear: Wei Shao hit Craig's face with his left hand when he landed.
In short, Wei Shao's action of injuring Craig is indeed a foul, even if he is found to be malicious foul, there is no problem, the biggest problem is that Craig is not a defensive foul first? So the referee's change of sentence caused controversy, netizens are dissatisfied with this, thinking that Craig was blown defensive foul is no problem, should not cancel Westbrook's 3 free throws.
The camera also clearly shows that Craig fouled first, and then when Westbrook landed, the left hand hit Craig's face to constitute a foul, but the referee's change of sentence was heartbreaking, they did not give Westbrook a technical foul or malicious foul, but canceled Craig's defensive foul, that is, canceled Westbrook's 3 free throws, and changed the judgment to Westbrook's offensive foul to end the Pacers' challenge.
Why did the referee cancel Westbrook's 3 free throws? This is indeed a mystery, but let the Lakers fans feel very confused is that the Lakers played so well in the first quarter, James also really tried his best, helpless Lake people's festival, the third quarter and the last quarter of the game are not inferior to the Pacers, and finally helplessly lost the game, so ah even if the referee gave Wei Shao 3 free throws, may not change the tragedy of the Lakers' loss, Wei Shao also has to face a malicious or technical foul, so think about it, the referee has a controversial change of judgment, but it is good for the Lakers, but the Lakers really do not understand who to blame if they lose, James cut down 30 points, 12 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals, but the Lakers just lost, and this pot is not James's back.
