Worst referee

Time: Wednesday, May 31, 2000, 21:00 pm.

Location: Auburn Hill Palace Arena, Detroit, Michigan, USA.

Background: The most profitable spear and the most powerful shield.

The referee that night: referee Joseph Joey Crawford, vice referee Jason North, and vice referee Kevin Greenwood.

Seeing that the referee tonight was bald Crawford, Mo Mengchen couldn't help but bring his smile and came to the other party, hoping that Crawford would not expel him from the scene when he saw this smiling face.

"Hello, Joey." Mo Mengchen said.

Crawford gave him a serious face: "Is there anything wrong, don't?"

"I'm just happy to see you." Mo Mengchen said with a smile.

And I can pretend that I don’t know that you are the second place in the NBA’s worst referee rankings—a questionnaire survey conducted by the Los Angeles Times specifically asked for players, which is absolutely true and effective—the referee in front of him has retired.

Moreover, I have to pretend that I didn't select this bald man as the worst referee in this questionnaire.

Crawford sneered: "Are you happy to meet the worst referee of the NBA?"

I'm glad you don't lack self-knowledge.

"How could it be?" Mo Mengchen said hypocritically, "You are the best referee in my mind."

Sometimes, we should not only be more realistic, but also lower our proud heads for reality.

When reality is distracted, you can try to lift your proud head for your little pitiful self-esteem.

"You should know that flattering is useless to me," Crawford said coldly.

Don’t flatter you? How about slapping your bald head? What if I promise to do a hair transplant for you? The best surgeon in the world standing in front of you, think about it?

Mo Mengchen greeted him and turned back to warm up.

What is certain is that Crawford is not a bad thing as the referee tonight.

This person is arrogant and has a high opinion of himself. He believes that the referee's rights are higher than anything else and will punish those who dare to challenge authority. However, he will not make outrageous games. He has his own control over the scale of the game.

Otherwise, he would not be able to sever his 30-year ruling.

Mo Mengchen returned to his teammates and said softly: "No matter what punishment you encounter tonight, good or bad..."

"We all have to protest to the end!" Rashid shouted, "for our rights!"

Mo Mengchen glared at him fiercely, and Rashid immediately shut up and looked very well-behaved.

"We must accept it silently, just like a dog who was discovered by his owner after doing something bad," Mo Mengchen said.

Lewis has a question: "I...I don't keep a dog..."

An invisible aura erupted from Mo Mengchen's body. He wanted to know if these guys don't want to see the sun tomorrow?

Lewis quickly said, "I understand, I will do what you said, Dad, look at mine!"

First of all, you have to be able to play.

Although Lewis played well in the second game, he had very little playing time afterwards. Because his defense was too poor, if he could not play on the court, he would be regarded as an atm.

The warm-up ends soon.

The head coach has to give some advice to both sides.

Tonight, the Pistons' starting lineup has changed. The three young men on the outside remained intact, and the fans of this group are not unfamiliar with this group.

Rashid Lauderdale.

Seeing Lauderdale's starter, Vinier Johnson exclaimed: "It seems that coach Westfar decided to win by surprise tonight!"

In the last defeat in New York, a reporter asked Westfal if he would change his strategy.

Westfar said the famous saying, "You must be more realistic."

This is what he calls reality.

The starter Lauderdale shows that the Pistons gave up running and shooting.

At least in the first quarter, they won't run and shoot.

From this point, we can also see the pressure the Knicks put on them. If there is no way, who would be willing to give up the system that has been fighting for four years?

Lauderdale is the lowest-ranking Pistons inside, and his playing time is very stable, either the main player or the garbage time.

The main force has very few times. In terms of garbage time, he is like a symbol of the treasure of the Auburn Palace.

He is the most popular player in garbage time. Seeing him performing on the court, fans who come to Auburn Hills to watch the game will feel that this trip is worth it.

Now that he actually started, Dura, who knows the situation, joked: "Coach Westfar is about to announce the end of the game as soon as he comes up?"

The starting lineups of both sides stood on the sidelines, and Lauderdale was preparing to jump the ball.

His height of 224 cm and his wingspan of 230 cm determine that he has a natural advantage when jumping the ball.

Mutombo was a big chunk in front of him.

The referee threw the ball into the air.

Lauderdale lived up to his mission, fulfilling his first value in the field and winning the opening ball for the team.

Hill waved to Momonchen.

Mo Mengchen shook his head and told him to be calm. Since he wanted to be more stable, then take his time.

Mo Mengchen dribbled the ball slowly through the half-court. The fans at the scene were not used to it. The Pistons usually played too fast.

For them, it seems that the offensive time per round is only 12 seconds, and the fans are used to the fast-paced game and suddenly slows down, making it look like they are watching other teams' games.

It has begun.

Mo Mengchen saw the hand-to-hand fighting within the three-point line, the movement of his teammates, and the position of each other was tied up and the battle was fought.

Crawford did not express any physical confrontation. So can he judge this so that he will basically not call a foul in the out-of-ball confrontation?

Generally, if a referee wants to make such a foul, they will find a young shrimp who has no status at the beginning to kill the chicken to warn everyone: This will not work...

Crawford did not respond to these off-ball confrontations, which was beneficial to the Knicks. The way they controlled the game was to maintain the off-ball confrontation throughout the game.

Hill rushed out of the defensive constraints and ran out to catch the ball. Pipen followed, and the two faced the bottom corner on the right.

Eagle-style offense.

Without running and bombing, some common routines of the piston cannot be beaten, but they still have many tactics to use.

For example, Frause's Hawk attack and Momonchen's scalpel tactics.

The Hawk-style offense is more suitable for the current game. It mainly relies on the individual ability of star players to play singles. At the beginning of the game, it is a good time for Hill to show his strength.

Hill held the ball with both hands, first with his back to the basket, and suddenly, he hit Pi Peng's body as if he was about to play with his back.

If he just hit this, Pi Peng would not have any worries. The distance to start his back was too long and there was too much area to push. Even if he could knock Pi Peng away every time, the final shot position was outside the paint area. Moreover, Pi Peng could also interfere with his shot.

No matter how you look at it, it will be a bad move.

Pipen defended relaxedly, and he didn't expect that Hill had hidden many tricks in this collision.

If he exerts force, Hill probably chooses to fake moves to shake him away; if he concentrates, Hill will adjust to the basket and hold the ball and break through hard; now he is relaxed in defense, the problem left for Hill is very simple.

Devil Mountain turned to the left with her back, and Pi Peng's single defense collapsed in an instant.

Pipen believed in the assistance behind him. What he did not expect was that there was no assistance behind him now. Cambi left the paint area in order to chase his prey, and Mutombo was outside the blocked area.

As soon as Hill turned around, his defense was completely broken. Pipen's next reaction was definitely a model for defenders. When he lost his position first, he struggled to chase back. Finally, before Hill took action, his hands opened, allowing Hill to make a strong shot against his defense.

"Beep!"

Crawford whistle sounded.

Hill took advantage of the whistle and Pipen's defensive momentum weakened and forced a penalty kick.

"nice shot!"

Rashid patted Hill on the head excitedly.

Mo Mengchen stood outside, thinking about this foul.

Tonight, I would call the foul of infringement of the cylinder? Even if Hill had just shot that seemed to have taken the initiative to knock the cylinder into someone else's shot, I would call the foul of the defense?

If he was the referee, Pi Peng's defense would never be called a foul.

For movements that can be blown or not, most referees will not whistle for the smoothness of the game, and Crawford will whistle tonight.

It’s not that Mo Mengchen has never played the referee Crawford, but this bald man has no habit of calling except for his usual arrogance and arrogance.

The more skillful the referee is, the less likely it is to reveal traces, so that it will not be used by the players.

If Crawford suddenly overprotects the cylinder tonight, there is only one reason.

Mo Mengchen smiled without a trace on his face.

It seems that the league doesn't want this game to be too ugly either.

Hilga hit the penalty.
