NBA: No. 1 Forward

Chapter 247: ban



82:96.

The Knicks eventually lost G5 with 14 points.

Big score 3:2!

In the locker room, Millsap and Gallinari stared blankly at the live TV in front of them.

Their hearts are full of remorse now, especially in the fourth quarter when Lian Dao panted and sweated profusely on the court, was double-teamed again and again, sent the basketball into the basket, and his body fell to the floor again and again due to lack of energy. Go up, get up again and invest in defense again.

Their hearts are full of guilt.

Of course, there are referees\' unfairness in this game, but there is no absolute fairness in competitive sports, only relative fairness.

They also knew that they had big problems in this game, and their irrational behavior made them both out early.

In the end, the game also ended in failure because of the irrationality of the two of them!

In fact, in this game, the Magic themselves played the game with a desperate attitude.

They are the players who want to irritate the Knicks on the court. The main characteristic of the Knicks players is that they are young, and their mentality is not as mature as the old fritters who have been in the league for many years.

And the Magic team saw this. Originally, what they wanted to get rid of most was Lian Dao.

However, Lian Dao suppressed the anger in his heart at the critical moment. Otherwise, if the Magic really succeed, it is estimated that it is not just a loss in this game. It is possible that the Knicks will really stop at No. 1 in the playoffs this time. Two rounds!

After the game, Lian Dao and other players did not participate in the press conference, but returned directly to the locker room.

But D\'Antoni didn\'t find a way not to attend the press conference.

Mr. Zhang Lili was a little helpless after explaining the game. He couldn\'t say something thoroughly in the live broadcast room, and he only analyzed some problems existing in the Knicks themselves.

However, the eyes of the viewers who watched the live broadcast had no problems.

After they watched the game, there was also a huge discussion on the Internet.

"Hehe, the referee could have directly declared the Magic the winner, but they still let the Knicks play."

"This is a game ruined by the referee!"

"In the fourth quarter, I really felt sorry for Lian Dao. When he was off the field, his teammates were supporting him and sitting on the bench!"

"Brother Lian must be very sad. He would have been able to advance to the Eastern Conference Finals after this game!"

"After the game, Lian Dao sat on the bench without saying a word, and covered his head with a towel. It can be seen that it really is..."

Not only in China, but also some fanatical fans in New York also left messages on the official NBA website, questioning the professionalism of the referees.

Some fans even went directly to the NBA headquarters and demanded a reasonable explanation for the penalty in this game.

David Stern is also very headache about this.

He really didn\'t expect that a game in the playoffs would cause such a big controversy!

However, the referee represents the fairness of the league, and it is impossible for him to destroy his appearance.

On the official website, the NBA headquarters also explained the game.

But for the fairness of the referees, the NBA headquarters has maintained absolute consistency. Although they also know that there are indeed problems in this game, what happened can be made up for in subsequent games, but acknowledging the facts represents the fairness of the league. has been greatly challenged.

In the post-match press conference, D\'Antoni also questioned the referee\'s penalty for this game.

However, right after the press conference ended, he received a penalty notice issued by the league!

D\'Antoni doesn\'t care, the league will only pay attention to this matter if there is enough pressure from public opinion.

Although the result of this game cannot be changed, but due to the pressure of public opinion in the next game, the referees dare not show favoritism!

After the game, they packed up their things and returned to New York, back to Madison Square Garden!

On the way back, Millsap and Gallinari hung their heads.

They knew that the failure of this game had a lot to do with the two of them.

However, Lian Dao didn\'t blame anything. On the contrary, he comforted: "Paul, Danilo, you didn\'t do anything wrong. If it were me, I would be more radical than what you did. Man, I am the boss of the team." , I am very responsible for the loss of this game. We are both entering the playoffs for the first time. It is normal to have no experience. We can afford to lose, and we still have a chance.”

"When we return to the home court in the next game, we will definitely let the Magic see what terror is!"

"Nicks!

"

"victory!

"

"victory!

"

"victory!

"

The Knicks\' fighting spirit was rekindled.

Howard was very excited when the Magic team came back to New York with the prestige of the G5 victory. What they didn\'t know was that they would be able to advance to the Eastern Conference Finals after this game.

However, the G5 victory did give the Magic a lot of confidence.

"Rookies are rookies after all. Their lack of experience in the playoffs still caused them a lot of losses." This is the voice of almost all Magic players.

However, the result of the penalty given by the league is not bad. Neither Millsap nor Gallinari were suspended for the last game, but only paid some fines. However, James Dolan waved the players and the head coach. D\'Antoni\'s fines are all paid.

Although Stan Van Gundy had expected this for a long time, after receiving the news, he still called it a pity.

If Millsap and Gallinari are suspended in this game, the Magic will easily beat the Knicks away.

By the time of the tiebreaker, even if Millsap and Gallinari paid, the Magic, with their two consecutive victories, would definitely be able to defeat the Knicks.

In fact, Stan Van Gundy\'s idea was really almost realized.

After the game, Xiao Hua proposed to suspend Gallinari. After all, Michael Pietrus cracked his eyebrow with an elbow. This is a fact.

However, due to the referee in the last game, the penalty was indeed very problematic, and it has already aroused the dissatisfaction of New York and many Knicks fans.

Therefore, Vice President Tatum strongly opposed the suspension of Gallinari. He believes that this is likely to lead to intensification of conflicts.

In the G6 game, with the intensification of conflicts, it is difficult to guarantee that greater conflicts will not break out. It is possible that the Madison Square Garden brawl will be triggered again.

Both men stuck to their point of view.

David Stern was also a headache from the quarrel. As long as it involves the Knicks this season, there will always be a lot of troubles involving Lian Dao. Turner\'s imagination.

In the end, Stern made a final decision and did not impose a suspension on Gallinari, but gave him a fine.

The Knicks who received the news also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

This season, the Knicks don\'t have the budget to make it to the second round of the playoffs. The Knicks will really have a big problem with the current rotation.

May 14.

Two days later, the Eastern Conference semifinal G6 kicked off at Madison Square Garden.

At the beginning of this game, the Magic wanted to seek physical contact like the previous game, but in an away game, they no longer had the home whistle of the previous game.

Howard was called two defensive fouls as soon as he came up.

Finally, the Magic also knew the penalty scale for this game.

At the end of the last game, Stern warned the referee who whistled in the last game. The whistle in the game is allowed to be large, but it cannot be excessively partial.

Therefore, the referee of this game does not want to warn himself.

But the intensity of this game is not inferior to the previous game.

It was still the same hand-to-hand combat as before.

However, Lian Dao fell into a crazy mode from the very beginning of the game.

After the first half of the game, the Knicks ended the first half with a 57:43 lead by 14 points.

After returning from the second half, the Knicks\' outside shooting feel was really out of shape.

Simply, keep hitting the basket, don\'t choose to find a physical confrontation with Howard.

Constantly foul Howard.

At the end of the third quarter, Howard had already received 5 fouls.

Only one foul away, Howard can leave the field with 6 fouls.

When the game entered the fourth quarter, Lian Dao made a layup after a breakthrough, looking for a confrontation in the air!

Sure enough, Howard was fooled!

The big hand moved towards Lian Dao\'s right hand to cover it!
