In an NBA regular season game that ended today, the Nuggets beat the Pacers 125-118. Rivers, who endured the humiliation of crotch, broke out into a fierce conflict with Stephenson, when the referee blew two consecutive Ts to expel Rivers, and Nuggets coach Malone was upset for his lover.
In the fourth quarter, Stevenson angered Rivers when he was stuck in the bottom corner, and the two shoved each other, spraying each other, and the referee watched the video for both sides of the technical prisoners. In the next round, Rivers arced the ball, and when he raised his elbow, Stephenson leaned back deliberately, and the referee immediately identified it as a dangerous move, and gave Rivers a technical prisoner to directly banish him.
After the game, Rivers tweeted about his feelings, "I have never been expelled for such an outrageous thing in my life. It's true...... Never. The league has to look back at the ball again. Coach Malone was particularly angry about the disciple's dismissal, saying, "The referee Brothers told me that Rivers was sent because of his 'malicious behavior', and I told him that it was nothing at all, and Rivers didn't even touch him." We will appeal to the official office of the Alliance. ”
Tim McMahon wrote under the news, "Letting a referee like the Tony brothers blow the playoffs is the real 'malicious act.'" Durant, who had seen it before the league looked back, retweeted the video and commented: "It's also embarrassing! ”
In this game, Rivers played 19 minutes, shooting 1 of 3 and 1 of 3 from three points, scoring 3 points and 3 boards. The alliance issued new rules to encourage confrontation and weakened a lot of foul-making skills, but the Tony brothers openly blew the corporal whistle, which was to punch Xiao Hua in the face, and they were afraid that they would lose their jobs.
