On April 21, Beijing time, the 76ers played the third game against the Nets, and there was a huge controversial penalty in the final moments of the third quarter, and Harden was directly ejected.
With 13.6 seconds left in the third quarter, Harden held the ball outside, faced O'Neal's defense, he broke through with the ball, and suddenly the referee blew a whistle, and saw O'Neal covering important parts and squatting on the ground.
The referee watched the video and directly blew Harden a second-degree malicious foul and expelled on the spot. Seeing the referee's decision, Embiid was directly blinded, and Harden was also quite puzzled and helpless.
Judging from the slow-motion replay, when Harden broke through, the hand did not hit the other party, that is, the opponent was suspected of fake falling, although the head touched the opponent, but the second-degree malicious foul was expelled, it was too harsh, and the Philadelphia media complained, "This is a complete joke." ”
Judging from the details of the contact between the two sides, Harden's fist is retracted, and there is no intention to hit the other side at all. It is indeed incomprehensible to directly award a second-degree malicious foul. And Meiji directly spit on the alliance, "Good! "Obviously, the irony league guaranteed the Nets a home win.
