On May 1, Beijing time, the NBA officially announced the second round of the referee lineup, which triggered a heated discussion among fans. It is worth mentioning that the famous scott Foster, Bill Kennedy, Tony Branis and others are inside, and there is only one rookie referee left. However, Scott, known as Paul's nemesis, caused a huge controversy.
After the first round of the playoffs, the NBA Referee Committee selected the second round of the referee lineup based on the overall performance of the first round of referees. Eight referees were eliminated after the first round, including two rookie referees, Eric Dalen and Justin Van Duyne.
There are a total of three rookie referees in the playoffs this season, and only Mitchell Ervin is left to continue the second round.
Famous whistles Scott Foster, Bill Kennedy, Tony Branis, Mark Davis, Eric Lewis and others were shortlisted for the second round of the referee line-up without suspense.
The release of the second round of the referee lineup also caused a heated discussion, and fans posted some controversial moments of the shortlisted referees, such as the missed judgment of Tom Washington in the Sun and Pelicans series, when Jones deliberately pushed down Paul, and then the league chased Jones for a malicious foul.
Interestingly, Paul's nemesis Foster once again provoked complaints, with fans questioning why Scott Foster is still in the roster, even though the public generally believes he is biased against a team and one of the players." There were even fans who directly blacked Scott's head to express their dissatisfaction with his blow-off game.
However, as the league's golden whistle, I believe that some important games, Foster will still participate, but I believe that Suns fans are already praying that he will not enforce the Suns' games, because Foster law enforcement of the playoffs Paul has suffered 14 consecutive losses, the most recent of which is the Suns and Pelicans G2.
