West stepped on Curry, and the referee actually said that he was giving the Warriors face by not calling a foul on Curry!
It’s amazing that the referee in the finals was so blind!
Fortunately, Curry is fine.
But just because it was okay this time doesn’t mean it will be okay next time!
Curry will definitely get injured if this continues!
But the referee didn't care, so it was useless for Deng Fang to worry.
Curry risked injury and made a three-pointer, scoring the Warriors' first point of the game.
The game lasted 4 minutes, the Warriors only scored 3 points, and the Cavaliers scored 11 points!
The Warriors failed to score three consecutive three-pointers before, and the Cavaliers succeeded in all three attacks.
The Cavaliers put up a small lineup, with James attacking with the ball at the top of the arc and four shooters from the outside.
Jamison came up to cover and made a big move, so Prince had to switch defense.
It would be very troublesome for Lopez to switch defense in front of James.
In terms of speed, Lopez was too far behind James. In order to prevent James from rushing in, Lopez had to take two steps back!
Although James' shooting is average and his three-pointers are not very reliable, he is still an NBA player no matter what.
It’s impossible not to be defensive at all.
But Lopez moved his center of gravity slightly forward, and James burst in!
Of course, Lopez was also on guard.
Take two steps back, move your center of gravity forward a little, but be prepared to retreat. It will not be easy for James to completely break through.
But James is not afraid. If we can't get through, we can use our elbows!
When he got in front of Lopez, James pushed forward with his left arm protecting the ball, and Lopez was pushed away!
The elbow clears the way during the breakthrough. Even if you are a center, you can't stop it!
Twice in a row, James broke into the paint and succeeded in a layup.
The third time James wanted to break inside, Laga Bell returned to the penalty area early to help defend. James passed the ball to Anthony Parker on the outside.
There was no one in front of Anthony Parker. After receiving the basketball, he took a decisive shot and hit a three-pointer!
The Warriors finally got 3 points, and the Cavaliers easily got 11 points!
In four minutes, the score became 3:11, and the Warriors trailed by 8 points.
With his teammates unable to score, Curry turned on his personal offensive mode.
After making a three-pointer, Curry began to rush in.
Rush in and score, draw fouls and go to the free throw line, compress the opponent's defense and create shooting space for your teammates!
This is what stars do.
West's defense is good, but Curry's breakthrough is even better.
Especially after making a three-pointer, West didn't dare to stay inside.
Curry bowed to Buddha, West immediately jumped up, and Curry bent down and rushed in.
Anthony Parker immediately ran over to help defend and stood on the edge of the penalty area.
Curry could pass the ball to his teammates for three-pointers, but he didn't do that.
The Cavaliers attacked very fiercely, and the referee did not give a whistle, so it was difficult for teammates to make a shot.
I have reached such a deep position, why not score by myself?
Curry changed direction and passed by Anthony Parker.
With no one behind Anthony Parker, Curry can easily layup.
Who knows Anthony Parker fell down!
The referee's whistle sounded immediately!
At this time, Curry had collected the ball and taken the first big step for a layup. He ignored the whistle and took another step to put the ball into the basket.
As long as the ball is collected, no matter whether the referee blows the whistle or not, he must insist on scoring the ball!
This is something most NBA players know!
Two plus one makes it!
After Curry finished the layup, he looked back at the referee.
Unexpectedly, the referee made an action that invalidated the goal and signaled Curry to commit an offensive foul!
What?
I got an offensive foul?
Curry is anxious!
Anthony Parker's foot is on the line of the legal collision zone!
He and I are not in a head-on collision!
I passed from his side!
He is diving!
Curry pointed to Anthony Parker on the ground and said.
The referee was still unmoved and waved his hand firmly, indicating that the goal was invalid!
Oh my god!
Curry is going crazy!
You didn't call James just now when he used his elbow to clear the way, but now I pass from the side and you call me an offensive foul?
You are still not human!
The referee ignored this and signaled the game to continue.
Curry had no choice but to come back and defend.
James held the ball at the top of the key and signaled West to come up for a pick-and-roll.
Defending West is Curry.
James is going to make a fuss about Curry again.
Since there is only one Curry in your team who can score, then I will knock him out!
West came up to block Prince.
The Warriors were already prepared for this.
Deng Fang had already made arrangements before the game and practiced it many times during training.
As long as Curry's defender engages in a pick-and-roll with James, Curry will step forward to stop James from easily breaking through, and then quickly come back to find his defender.
Prince quickly came back to defend James.
This process will give James an open three-point opportunity for one or two seconds, but the Warriors are not afraid.
James' three-pointers aren't reliable anyway.
Instead of letting James challenge Curry, it would be better to let him shoot three-pointers!
Of course Curry knew what he should do. Seeing Prince being blocked by West, Curry immediately took a step forward and stole the ball.
No matter who is holding the ball, as long as someone steps forward to steal the ball, they will dodge to the side.
As long as James dodges, Curry can quickly return to position.
Unexpectedly, James didn't hide. He quickly collected the ball, rounded his arm, and hit Curry's arm straight!
Curry was unprepared, and his outstretched right arm was just touched by James' right hand!
James yelled and threw the ball toward the basket!
The whistle sounded at the same time!
Curry fouled and James made three free throws!
The referee made a three-point gesture very decisively.
Curry was stunned again.
Deng Fang stepped forward to argue with the referee again:
"It was James who reached out and hit Curry. How could it be that Curry committed a foul?"
"The shooter is inviolable!"
"But James didn't shoot!" Deng Fang questioned loudly: "He hit Curry's hand first and then made the shooting action!"
"That's what you think!" The referee shook his head and replied: "James was making a consecutive winning move, a shooting foul, no problem!"
"Do you think James' posture can be a shooting action?" Deng Fang asked: "Have you ever seen a big crab waving its arms to shoot?"
"Whether the posture is graceful or not is not up to me!" the referee replied: "No matter how ugly the shooting action is, it is still a shooting!"
After speaking, the referee motioned Deng Fang to return to the Warriors bench and gave Deng Fang a warning gesture.
If you keep nagging me, I will give you a technical foul!
Deng Fang looked up to the sky and sighed, silently returning to the bench.
Okay, you are awesome!
It’s amazing to be blind and still stick to your job!
I’m so shameless, what can I do?
Curry looked innocent and full of disbelief.
Although I am a rookie, I have played basketball for many years!
Is this how the whistle blows?
A big crab waved his arms in front of me and called me a foul?
