On March 15, Beijing time, the NBA regular season Philadelphia hosted the Nuggets. The first half of the campaign was full of ups and downs, with Philadelphia leading by 19 points at one point. However, in the second half of the second quarter, the Nuggets counterattacked under jokic' leadership, trailing 53-58 before halftime. Embiid and Harden combined 32 free throws in the last game, but only six in the half. Harden, in particular, is frequently ignored for fouls on the court.
The scene in the second half of the second quarter of the game was very telling. At that time, Harden counter-attacked with the ball, and The Nuggets' Gordon retreated. In the process of retreating, Gordon directly pulled harden down. Harden then wrestled off the line with Gordon, but the referee didn't blow the ball. Judging from the slow motion, Gordon did foul Harden on this ball. But Harden did try to create a foul from the bottom up, and the referee finally chose to ignore it.
As a result, the Nuggets hit a three-pointer back. Harden, who fell out of the bottom line, was very dissatisfied with this blow, showed his hand to the referee, and made an unbelievable expression. And in the Philadelphia coaching bench, coach Rivers could not sit still, and it was a roar at the referee, and he did not understand why the referee did not blow.
In fact, for the referee, Harden and Embiid combined 32 free throws in the last game, which will leave them some shadows. When there are two such masters of foul making in a team, the referee's blowing scale must sometimes be deviated, after all, they are also people. If there are endless penalties, it is not a good thing for the fans.
As Philadelphia, they also need to adapt to this scale. Because in the playoffs, many regular season games will be blown foul balls, and may not be blown. If the Philadelphia twins don't adapt early, it will be very difficult for them to achieve good results in the playoffs, after all, after playing with the referee, the concentration and energy on the court will decline.
