On April 27, Beijing time, the 2021-22 NBA playoffs were in full swing. Earlier today, the NBA officially announced the results of three penalties, Nuggets star Cousins and Pelicans coach Monty Williams were both fined, and Pelicans player Herbert Jones was added a first-degree malicious foul.
In the Nuggets and Warriors' G4, with 7 minutes and 27 seconds left before the end of the second quarter, Cousins was replaced because he was very dissatisfied with the referee's previous blowing penalty, Cousins angrily kicked the towel on the ground to the audience, so he was fined $15,000. The Nuggets are currently trailing the Warriors 1-3, and the two sides will be playing series G5 tomorrow!
Monti was fined $15,000 for publicly criticizing the referee after pelicans vs. SunS G4. Monti said at the time: "Today's free throw ratio is 15 of us, they are 42, this gap is unimaginable. We had 2 free throws in the first half, the Pelicans 17, and then they ended up with 42, which is a tough game. As a coach, I just want to tell the truth, and I hope I don't get penalized for saying that. I also had a technical foul in the game because I thought Crowder hadn't fouled Ingram. But I would say that the Pelicans really deserve this win, they play harder. But the gap in the number of free throws does exist. ”
Also in this game, with 9:52 left in the third quarter of G4, Herbert Jones knocked down Paul while scrambling for a rebounding card. According to NBA regulations, malicious foul suspension adopts the point system, a first-level malicious accumulation of 1 point, a second-level malicious accumulation of 2 points, accumulating 3-4 points, if judged to be a first-level malicious foul, will be automatically banned. Fortunately, Jones currently has no risk of suspension, and the Pelicans and Suns are currently 2-2, and the two sides will fight the Battle of King Mountain today.
