Beijing time on April 5, today there is no NBA regular season, but there is still a lot of off-court news, the league officially announced a fine, Cavaliers coach Bixtav was fined $15,000 for his remarks in a post-game interview yesterday against the 76ers.
In yesterday's game, the Cavaliers lost 108-112 at home to the 76ers, which also opened the gap between them and the raptors in the sixth place in the East, and they are already 2.5 wins behind, and the probability of trying to directly advance to the playoffs is very small. After the game, Cavaliers coach Bixtaff aimed his finger at the referee, "We should have won the game, but in the end our victory was taken away." We deserve victory. "Thinking that the referee did not maintain the same standard at both ends of the court and thinking that the team had the last goal, after Lovet kicked off, Garland was fouled by Sebel (to complete the steal), but the referee's whistle did not sound.
It was because of this complaint that he also lost $15,000. In the NBA league, the maintenance of referees is still very strict, no physical contact with the referee, no permission to comment on the referee's blowing penalty after the game, and every season there will be a fine that questions the referee.
Bixtaff was also angry because the 76ers had scored 42 free throws in their last game and their team had been whistled for 28 fouls, including Six in Markkanen and four in brown, Love and Stevens; the Cavaliers scored 31 free throws and the 76ers were whistled for 19 fouls.
In fact, I don't blame the Cavaliers manager, mainly Embiid and Harden's foul-making ability is too good, they both won 32 free throw opportunities in the last game, directly higher than the Cavaliers' entire team. The Cavaliers coach also insinuated after the game, "They are both very good players and know how to use the rules. ”
Creating fouls is indeed an effective scoring feel, both to find the feel and to get some respite. Fortunately, in order to avoid more players to create fouls, the league has also made some rules to avoid, such as Harden pinching his arm will be blown off offensive fouls.
