On cold winter nights, the atmosphere on the basketball court is particularly tense. This game between the Rockets and the Bucks is not an ordinary matchup, but a contest full of collisions and controversies. This game is not just a matter of score, it involves a big discussion of fairness and referee decisions.
Fierce confrontation at the beginning
As soon as the game began, the Rockets showed their housekeeping skills, defense. Jabari Smith Jr. and veteran Green showed great defensive skills. However, the referee's decision to the Bucks was particularly lenient. Every time Antetokounmpo and Lillard touched the ball, the referee seemed to deliberately blow for fouls and give them frequent free throws.
Imbalance in penalty shooting
Speaking of free throws, the number of free throws made by Antetokounmpo and Lillard in this game was truly staggering. Combined, the two made more free throws than the entire Rockets combined. Antetokounmpo alone had 21 free throws and Lillard had 10. Such an imbalance in the penalty making raises questions about the impartiality of the referee.
The climax of the conflict
The tension of the game culminated in a rough move by a rookie from the Bucks against Smith Jr. of the Rockets. The move not only angered the Rockets' players, but also shocked the audience. It was obviously a conflict provoked by the Bucks players, but the referee awarded a malicious foul to Jabari Smith Jr. of the Rockets.
Fake falls and penalties
In the fourth quarter, Brother Alphabet exaggerated a fake fall while defending. The referee not only awarded the Rockets a blocking foul, but also watched the video replay, almost escalating the action to a malicious foul. Such a penalty once again caused controversy on the scene, and everyone questioned the fairness of the referee.
Data on free throws
This season, he has taken the most free throws of any player. He made 32 free throws against the Pacers and another 21 against the Rockets today. With so many free throws, one can't help but wonder if the league has a preference for him.
The result of the match
In the face of so many unfair decisions, the Rockets still won the game with their own strength. In the final stages of the competition, they showed amazing resilience and skill. The Rockets, while nowhere near as many free throws as the Bucks, managed to turn the game around through teamwork and precise tactical execution. In the end, the Rockets ended the game with 27-of-32 free throws compared to 29-of-42 for the Bucks.
The difference between a foul and a free throw
In the game, the number of fouls committed by both sides was about the same, but the number of free throws was very different. The Rockets were fouled multiple times by the referee, while the Bucks got more free throws in similar situations. This unbalanced penalty made the game controversial, and the Rockets fans were naturally dissatisfied.
Controversial decision by the referee
Throughout the game, the referee's decision became the biggest point of controversy. Whether it's a biased free throw decision or a harsh penalty for a Rockets player, every penalty seems to challenge the fairness of the game. Such a decision not only affects the rhythm of the game, but also affects the mentality of the players.
The far-reaching impact of the game
While the Rockets won the game, the controversy left behind by the game went far beyond the game itself. Fans have raised serious questions about the impartiality of the referees and concerns about the level playing field in basketball. This match is not only a confrontation, but also a challenge to sportsmanship.
Reflections on the game of basketball
In the end, the game became a hot topic in the basketball world. Not only because the competition itself is exciting, but also because it has triggered everyone's in-depth thinking about the fairness of sports competitions. Basketball, as a passionate and competitive sport, its true charm lies not only in the victory or defeat of scores, but also in the spirit of mutual respect and fair competition between athletes.
