With 3 minutes and 24 seconds left in the first quarter, Harden broke through on the left and Brad Warnermaker clearly pulled Harden's left forearm with his left hand, and the two penalties were reasonable
The second time, Harden still broke through on the left, Jeremy Lamb defended, the hand is a bit like hanging on Harden's arm, if you look closely, the hand has a little downward pressure action, it may also be that Harden needs to create space for the basket, top the defender, personal opinion, this blow two penalties is not wrong.
On the third two free throws, Harden broke through the offense on the right and pushed aside defender Chris Duarte, or fell to the ground in response, the ball was not easy to say, and the whistle was a little slow.
On the fourth two free throws, Harden continued to break through on the right, and Pacers defender TJ McConnell had a hard hand and hit Harden's left hand, and the ball blew no problem.
The fifth three-time penalty, 41 seconds left before the end of the half, Harden intended to break through, returned to the three-point line to expand under the rapid dribble, pressed the whistle to shoot three points, Tory Craig went forward to defend trying to interfere with Harden, and then the referee gave the whistle, maybe like the picture saw the violation of the cylinder? Screenshot of the video, which may be a bit blurry. This can only be judged by professional big guys. In fact, a certain commentary says that Harden has leaned forward, but from the top view, there is no obvious forward leaning action.
The sixth three penalties, this may really be a bit far-fetched, in the last 4 seconds of this attack the ball back to Harden's hands, Harden dribbled the ball directly up, this shot did lean on the defender, although the new rules after this ball will not blow, but this time the referee did give the whistle.
The seventh two free throws, Harden broke through on the right, Chris Duarte hand quickly, pulled Harden, all personally feel that this blow penalty is no problem.
The eighth time, Harden intended to break through, Pacers Tory Craig pressed close to the defense, Harden used his right hand to lean forward, and the referee gave a whistle. The ball is still about the new rules, although the new rules will not give the whistle, but the referee still blows.
The ninth two free throws, Harden pushed in the backcourt, Chris Duar came from the left to rush the steal, Harden fell to the ground, the referee gave the whistle, these two penalties are no problem.
So you officials, many people say that this is how the referee loves to play, the referee plays left and right, etc., what do you think?
In fact, whether it is Harden powder or step powder, we should all look at the ball rationally, there is no need for anyone to sour who, what do you think?
