When O'Neal heard the whistle, he slapped his eyes in pain, but when he turned around and looked at the referee, he was stunned.
The referee on duty raised his hands high, then made a fist with his left hand and grabbed his left wrist with his right hand.
"It turned out to be a flagrant foul. The referee Donaghy on duty gave O'Neal a flagrant foul. Oh, myholyjeaus. Now the Heat are in big trouble. Let's take a look at what O'Neal did just now." Obviously, Groom Albert was also concerned about it.
This penalty expresses confusion.
The big screen above the court slowed down O'Neal's action just now. The audience could clearly see what Tony Allen had been saying to O'Neal, and then O'Neal ran back and made a pushing motion with his hands.
After watching this, the entire audience booed the referee, and even some with perverse personalities started to throw their middle fingers at him and talk trash.
"I don't know how to describe this penalty. First of all, this action belongs to the category of whether it can be ruled or not. You can either say that two people had a relatively large physical contact, or you can say that O'Neal just pushed someone. As for a flagrant foul.
, I think it is completely unnecessary, because Howard on the other side has already received the basketball and is ready to serve. It should be said that it is a live ball now and cannot be regarded as a dead ball. Unless the rules are forced, Howard did not pose to serve just now.
And although O'Neal touched Tony Allen's chest, he was not a woman. This action was not big and not very harmful. In short, this penalty is inexplicable. I believe that under normal circumstances, 60% of referees will not call it
, 40% of referees will call a foul on a player without the ball, and absolutely no one will call a flagrant foul. I have no idea what the referee is thinking." After watching the slow motion, Ma Fu shook his head helplessly.
"Okay, now is not the time to discuss whether this penalty is correct. After this penalty, the Heat's situation is very pessimistic. Now they are only 4 points ahead of the Magic. If the Magic can seize this opportunity, they may equalize or even overtake the score.
, this is undoubtedly a heavy blow to the psychology of the Heat players. Moreover, the Sharks committed 5 fouls, and there are nearly 10 minutes left before the end of the game. Stan Van Gundy now faces a multiple-choice question. Let O'Neal continue to stay on the court.
If he chooses the first option, then if an accident occurs and O'Neal fouls again, the Heat may face the embarrassing situation of not having an inside core at the end of the game. If he chooses
The latter, what if the Magic take the opportunity to open up the score? It will be in big trouble, the Heat will be in big trouble."
Edison was also shocked by this penalty, but after all, it was beneficial to his team. He quickly asked Hill, the most stable player on the Magic Field, to take free throws. Hill fulfilled his mission and made 2 free throws, and then went to throw the sideline ball.
.
At this time Stan Van Gundy finally made the decision to substitute O'Neal.
Edison, on the other hand, saw that the situation had changed and quickly called a timeout.
"Nash and Marion are ready to go on the court. Let's enter the decisive battle early. Try to get as big a score advantage as possible while O'Neal is away." The players here are not fools. They understood Edison's thinking as soon as he said it.
After the Magic players came on the court, Hill passed the sideline ball to Nash. After Nash and Howard made a familiar pick-and-roll, they started to double down.
The quality of the pick-and-roll this time was very high. Howard kept Wade out, forcing the Heat to misplace defense.
Nash didn't make a hard shot when facing Doleac, but instead threw the ball behind his head.
Howard was depressed the whole day today. Not only was he physically tortured by O'Neal, he was also mentally subjected to O'Neal's trash talk. It was like a demonic voice was ringing in his ears. That is to say, he is optimistic by nature, otherwise he would have collapsed long ago.
….
Now that O'Neal was substituted, he got a chance to vent. And Nash also understood his feelings, so he sent an alley-oop.
Howard crossed the free throw line, took a step forward, then leaped high as if on a spring, caught the ball from Doriac's head, then leaned forward and dunked the ball into the basket. Because
He rushed forward too hard. When he dunked, the angle between his body and the horizontal was very small, and it felt like he was leaning forward 30 degrees in the air.
After the entire audience saw the ball, there was an uproar, and the sounds of "od" kept coming.
"Howard tied the score with a wonderful dunk. Now the two teams are tied at 72. Stan Van Gundy did not pause and the game continued."
"The current situation is extremely unfavorable to the Heat. First they were equalized, and then they were dunked like this. It is inevitable that there will be ups and downs psychologically, and they have lost O'Neal. But these four minutes are extremely critical, and the players on the court must carry it through.
, as long as the point difference is not widened too much, there will be hope for everything after O'Neal comes back."
Although the commentators are cheering for the Heat, the meaning behind the lines is that they still look down on these players and cannot count on them. However, countless miracles have been performed on this venue. The last time was the Magic's substitute Martin, and today it is his turn.
Heat substitute Dulin.
Dulin is an ordinary but not ordinary player, with average height, average speed, average consciousness, average skills, and average shooting. Like Haslem, except for his relatively high enthusiasm, he is simply an average man.
But during the Heat's darkest period, Wade didn't stand up. Instead, he stood up. He first hit two three-pointers from the top of the arc, and then caused Marion to hit someone on the defensive end. Finally, he hit someone again.
He played a wonderful cooperation with Wade. He passed Wade from behind and assisted him in the layup. It can be said that in this short period of time, he dominated the entire game.
Under his performance, the Heat went on an 8-2 offensive climax, unexpectedly leading the Orlando Magic by 6 points.
No matter how much Edison yelled and whistled off the court, the players on the court just couldn't score. Even Hill, who had always been very stable, couldn't make a mid-range shot in the open.
Since the Magic didn't score a point for 2 consecutive minutes, Edison replaced Iguodala and replaced him with Martin to further strengthen his offensive points. But as a result, Martin's luck was gone and he hit the neck of the basket twice in a row.
, was ejected. That is to say, Howard continuously grabbed offensive rebounds during O'Neal's absence, otherwise the point difference between the two teams would have been 10 points.
But as time passed, with the last 5 minutes of the game left, the two teams were tied 85-78, the Heat led by 7 points, and the Sharks were ready to play again.
Edison looked at O'Neal standing in front of the referee's box. Although he was still very anxious on the surface, he secretly said to himself, "There is no luck at all. It seems that this game is out of the question. This is the fifth game that God has asked us to return to our home court."
ah."
Not just Edison, but all the commentators, commentators, and Heat fans at the scene felt that the Heat would win. Some home fans were already planning to celebrate, while the Magic fans in front of the TV began to change the channel. However, the United States
Miracles have been staged countless times at the Aviation Arena. In the last game, the Magic's substitute Martin broke out. Just now, the Heat's substitute Dulin broke out. Now it's another person's turn.
After O'Neal came on the court, Diaw immediately went to go forward, but O'Neal relied on his physical advantage to defeat Howard by hanging from the basket and dunked successfully. The score gap widened to 9 points.
"Paul, you can't go around anymore. Now O'Neal is very physical, and Haslem is very open. Howard is always a step too slow when he comes back to fight with him in the air. If this continues, we will be hanged by them. Still.
Change back to double-teaming." Thibodeau saw something was wrong and quickly asked Edison for a suggestion...
"It seems that Stan has also done research on our detour and return. There is really no other way." So the Magic applied for a timeout and rearranged their defensive tactics against O'Neal.
Although Edison repeatedly emphasized that we must fight hard and never give up, he did not see the momentum of winning in the eyes of the players. Most of them walked onto the court in despair, intending to complete the scene like a zombie.
Howard was the only exception. When he came on the court, he said to Nash, "Steve, pass me another pass later. I have to dunk on Shaquille, otherwise I will be really unhappy."
Nash looked at Howard seriously, said nothing, and nodded.
When the game started, Nash and Howard started a high pick-and-roll again. But this time Wade increased his concentration and bypassed Howard, and the pick-and-roll failed. When Nash saw that he had no choice, he simply passed the ball to Howard and watched him play in isolation.
.
Howard, after catching the ball, pretended to hit it, but O'Neal didn't move at all. At this time, Howard suddenly remembered the bunny jump that Josh often used now. He had also tried this move, but it was not the same as Josh's shot.
So accurate. But now there is no chance of relying on beatings. We can only treat the dead horse as a live doctor.
So Howard suddenly turned around in the middle with a jump step, wiped past O'Neal, then landed with his feet on the ground, jumped forward, and prepared to dunk directly. Howard still had some sense at the last moment and did not choose to shoot with long hands.
Although Howard's action was sudden, it was not fast. He was not as flexible as Josh, so he gave Austrian time to react.
Of course, the Shark couldn't let him dunk, so he raised his hands and jumped up, ready to block him. After the two people made contact in the air, the ball did not go in, and Howard was bounced back.
But just then, the whistle sounded again.
"White No. 32, the thug fouled, 6 fouls, and left the field." The referee Donaghy on duty gave the penalty result without changing his expression to the referee's table.
At this moment, the whole court exploded. O'Neal had just come on, and he was completely ejected in less than a minute. So the Heat bench, including Stan Van Gundy, quit, and everyone stood up.
Van Gundy immediately walked to the referee's table, hoping that Donaghy could give a reasonable explanation.
Facing Van Gundy's expression of "Boy, you just ate a piece of my cake", Donaghy looked calm and said, "When I was defending just now, he hit me. I saw it clearly. Please go back to the coach."
Xi, otherwise I will think you are provoking me."
When Van Gundy heard this, he raised his arms and made a "Oh my God" gesture. As a result, Donaghy blew the whistle again and received a technical foul.
Although the Heat were excited, the coach was the biggest in the arena, and he was a referee who had begun to show his claws towards him. So although the Heat players kept mumbling, they all sat down. The big shark looked at Donner viciously.
Nozomi glanced at him and returned to the bench, Doliac appeared again.
Players can't scold or vent, but fans can. No matter how bad the referee is, you can't control the fans. So in the next period of time, Edison felt like he was dreaming of returning to the Workers' Stadium.
At this moment, Heat manager Pat Riley is still sitting in the middle of the audience with his slicked back and high-spirited look. You can't see any emotional changes on his face, but the cigar cut into two pieces in his pocket is speaking silently.
What is it telling.
After experiencing this twists and turns, the mentality of the Heat players was completely messed up. After returning to the game, everyone started to fight randomly.
After seeing hope again, the Magic players redoubled their efforts. As one went back and forth, the score between the two teams began to gradually get closer.
When Grant Hill was sent to the free throw line again due to a strong break, he withstood the pressure and made two free throws again, making the Magic lead 92-90 with 11.6 seconds before the end. Wade missed a 3-pointer from the circle, and Josh
Smith grabbed the rebound and Haslem had no choice but to foul him. As a result, Josh withstood the pressure at the critical moment and made two free throws.
In the end, the Orlando Magic defeated the Heat 94-90 away from home, swept the Heat with a big score of 4-0, and advanced to the Western Conference Finals.
However, the protagonist of this game was not any player of the two teams, nor the coaches of the two teams, but a referee named Donaghy, who controlled the entire game with his super personal ability.
Although Edison had already realized who this guy was at this time, and although many reporters asked him for his opinion on this issue after the game, because he was the beneficiary, he did not say much and remained silent. But he is now like this
This vague attitude will cause him trouble in the future.
