On January 30, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued, and the Nets lost to the Warriors 106-110. At the end of the game, the Nets trailed by one point, and when the Warriors sent the ball out of bounds, the referee blew a foul on Irving defending Thompson when he received the ball, and Nash did not apply for a manager challenge for this foul, which was also questioned by many people.
But Nash himself said in a post-match interview that the referee had made it clear to him that Irving's move against Thompson was definitely a foul, so he did not choose to challenge. Judging by the slow-motion replay, Irving's foot did trip over Thompson before he received the ball.
However, some people believe that it was already the last moment of the game, and Nash no longer had to challenge himself, nor did he have a chance to use it again. So it stands to reason that whether the referee will change the verdict or not, Nash should use up this challenge opportunity.
The problem was that the Nets only had one timeout left, and if the challenge failed, the Nets would be deducted one timeout according to the rules. At that time, it is likely that the offensive and defensive tactics behind will not be able to be arranged, and the impact will be even greater, which may be another reason why Nash did not apply for the challenge.
It is worth mentioning that the European also supported Nash after the game, saying that he was not surprised that Nash did not apply for the challenge, because after watching the replay later, he found that his foot did trip up Thompson.
So There's nothing wrong with Nash not choosing to apply for the managerial challenge. In this game, the Nets can fight the Warriors to the last moment in the absence of Harden, Durant and other players, so for Nash, it should still be given a fair evaluation, do not ignore the facts, for black and black.
