On April 24th, Beijing time, the NBA playoffs continued, just today, the NBA officially announced the penalties for yesterday's games, and the referee also publicly admitted his mistakes, and the Knicks and the 76ers did have several low-level misjudgments and omissions, so that the 76ers were directly in a 0-2 desperate situation. It is worth mentioning that the 76ers' Nas called a timeout and was directly ignored by the referee, and the referee's report also focused on this missed judgment, the Knicks were escorted to the real hammer, the NBA is a commercial league, and if the New York team reaches the top 4 in the East, it will definitely receive much more attention than the 76ers to advance.
There were 5 missed judgments in the last 2 minutes of the game between the 76ers and the Knicks, of which 4 were unfavorable to the 76ers and 1 was unfavorable to the Knicks, which directly led to the 76ers being miraculously reversed by the Knicks. First, with 1:14 left in the game, the Knicks' Anunoby appeared to defend for three seconds, but the referee didn't blow the penalty. Second, with 34.7 seconds left in the game, Embiid hit DiVincenzo on the head, and the referee didn't blow the whistle. Third, with 27.2 seconds left in the game, 76ers coach Nurse asked for a timeout, but no referee suspended the game, directly ignoring Nas's request, and such a penalty is also explosive in NBA history. Fourth, Brunson tugged at Maxey's jersey, which should have been a foul. Fifth, with 24.9 seconds left in the game, Hart violated Maxey's cylinder and should have whistled for a foul, which was a missed call.
The referee has admitted that the 76ers have been misjudged and missed many times, but this has not had much effect, the result of the game will not change, 1-1 and 0-2 are completely different situations, if the 76ers are finally eliminated, Embiid should not be questioned, he publicly complained that it is not a sign of weakness, but that the referee is too much. At the decisive moment of the game, the Knicks hit two three-pointers in a row to overtake, judging from the situation at the time, as long as the 76ers guard the ball, they can win the game steadily, but the Knicks' defense is basically fouled, and the referee does not say anything, which is equivalent to giving the victory directly to the Knicks, which is a pity.
The referee report of the Lakers and Nuggets directly slapped James and Lakers reporters in the face. In the last 2 minutes, there was only 1 missed judgment in the game, and with 1 minute and 53 seconds left in the game, Jokic defended for 3 seconds, and the referee missed the judgment. And James chased the referee directly after yesterday's game to discuss, he believed that the referee's decision in the final stage was incorrect, and the Lakers reporter also posted that James's foul on Murray should actually belong to the category of reasonable collision, and the Nuggets should not get two free throw opportunities. And the referee's report did not mention this round at all, that is, James did foul Murray, and there was no problem with the referee's blowing.
In fact, the Clippers reporter's opinion is very reasonable, although the Lakers and Nuggets game, the referee's decision at the last moment is controversial, but a penalty error will not allow the Nuggets to recover 20 points, the implication is that the Lakers were reversed in the case of a 20-point lead, which can only be said to be self-inflicted, no one else is to blame. In NBA games, it is normal for misjudgments and missed judgments, and the blowing penalties of the Lakers and Nuggets G2 are relatively good, with a difference of 4 free throws between the two teams, and the gap is relatively small in the last few encounters. But the Knicks beat the 76ers, and the league should really give the 76ers an explanation, and the head coach has no right to call a timeout, which also makes people speechless.
