Chapter 662 It's Different This Time (End of this Testimonial)

裁判给了詹姆斯一个体毛哨，但他却没有罚进，2+1变成了2+0，比分还是5:5。

Zhang Yu crossed his arms and stood on the sidelines, watching James make free throws and sneered.

When the Warriors appealed to the referee just now, Cole also surrounded him and raised objections to the referee's decision.

Zhang Yu just stood in front of the Warriors' bench, looked up at the replay, and then took a deep look at the referee, without saying anything else.

Of course, he was very angry when the Warriors suffered unfair penalties, but since last year's playoffs, this kind of scenario has been repeated, especially in the first away game after the Warriors led 2:0, the referee will definitely favor the opponent, and he is used to it.

Complaining to the referee was useless, but the players were furious, so Zhang Yu let them go. He had the right to vent his emotions and adjust his mentality, but he himself would not do any more useless work.

On the court, the Warriors attacked, Curry and Antetokounmpo picked and rolled, and Tristan Thompson came up to pinch.

Curry points the ball to Antetokounmpo, who goes down to attack the frame, James shrinks to protect the frame, and Antetokounmpo passes the ball to Leonard in the corner.

After Leonard got the ball, there was no defense around him, but he didn't directly shoot an open three-pointer, but went to the basket.

He had just been given a body whistle, and his anger was still there. He wanted to get back on the field and went straight to James.

James didn't expect Leonard to leave an open three-pointer and not shoot, forcefully killing the basket, but he reacted quickly, turned around to meet him, and raised his hand in front of Leonard.

Leonard came to the penalty area, stepped up and took off, separated James with his left hand, and swung his right hand in a circle, making a dunk gesture.

Of course James would not agree, he raised his hands high and jumped up to meet him.

boom!
The two collided heavily, Leonard lost his balance, the basketball flew out of his hand, and James staggered to the ground. Neither of them took advantage, but according to the rules, James did not take off vertically and should be called for blocking fouls.

However, the referee was unmoved by the physical confrontation, allowing Love to grab the rebound and the game continued.

Leonard was very dissatisfied, raised his hands, and rarely complained loudly to the referee:
"Why don't you blow it? It's a foul!"

The referee just glanced at him, ignored him, turned and ran towards the Warriors half court.

Leonard wanted to say more, but the Cavaliers had already launched an attack, and he didn't dare to delay any longer, so he took the time to retreat.

Irving dribbled the ball across half court, also picked and rolled with Smith, and named Curry.

Curry didn't suffer from facing Irving, so he switched defenses directly.

Irving singled out Curry, stepped back and made a three-pointer, but missed under Curry's best interference, and the rebound was protected by Antetokounmpo.

Kevin said:

"Irving's ball is a bit difficult. It's not a particularly good choice to shoot a three-pointer against Curry's defense."

Yang Yi said:

"James and Irving took turns to find Curry in the pick-and-roll. There is no way. The other four Warriors defended very well. In fact, Curry's defense is not bad, but compared with others, it is far worse."

At the transition of the round, Curry dribbled the ball across half court and waved to Antetokounmpo.

Antetokounmpo raised Curry as a screen and put Smith firmly behind him. Smith squeezed through the screen and staggered a step.

"Di-"

The referee's whistle sounded immediately, illegal cover!
Just turning around, Antetokounmpo, who was about to go down, stopped and looked around blankly, completely unaware of what happened.

When he saw the referee clenched his hands, put them on his chest and pushed hard, and then pointed at himself, he realized that he had been called a foul.

Antetokounmpo raised his finger and pointed at himself, and looked at the referee suspiciously, who nodded firmly.

Now he quit and wanted to argue with the referee, but at this moment, the recorder on the technical desk raised the timeout card, and the referee blew his whistle.

"Di-"

Taking advantage of the dead ball, Zhang Yu requested a timeout.

At the same time, Cole went to negotiate with the referee. Although Antetokounmpo was depressed, he also suppressed his plan to appeal to the referee, and walked back to the bench with his teammates.

Ke Fan watched the playback on the big screen in mid-air, and said angrily:

"There is no problem with this ball! The letter is standing still, and there is no extra movement in the hand, why did he call an illegal screen?"

Yang Yi said:

"Both of the referee's whistles are problematic. The Cavaliers' home field advantage is a bit obvious!"

In the Tencent live broadcast room, the fans who came for the Warriors were very angry and posted a lot of barrage:
"Why does this referee always have trouble with the Warriors?"

"It's so annoying, the game is intermittent, it's not fun to watch!"

"If you don't understand, just ask, how did this ball foul?"

On the Warriors' bench, Zhang Yu held a tactical board, gathered everyone together, and said:
"I know you are very angry, the referee has started again, we will definitely suffer a lot today..."

"Dog referee!"

"Both are body whistles, Falk!"

Everyone was so angry that they cursed a few words.

Before the game, Zhang Yu told everyone that the referee's judgment might be biased. They were more or less mentally prepared, but when they actually faced it, they were still furious.

Zhang Yu lowered his right hand to signal for everyone to be quiet, and then said:

"In the past, I told you not to care about the referee's penalty, you can play as you want, and we all won in the end. But this time is different. I ask you to focus on shooting as much as possible on the offensive end, and reduce the pressure on the Cavaliers inside. When attacking, when defending, the movements are more restrained. I would rather give a certain amount of room to shoot, and try not to pay for fouls... In short, reduce unnecessary physical confrontation, because as long as there is physical confrontation, we will suffer a lot, understand? ?”

Everyone nodded in unison, but there was still doubt on their faces. Green asked:

"Boss, what about the defense? We don't take advantage of the height. If we don't allow physical confrontation, how can we prevent the Cavaliers from attacking the frame?
Zhang Yu said:

"Don't be afraid that you won't be able to defend against the Cavaliers' offense. They flanked Stephen today, and we will have a lot of open opportunities. As long as we seize these open positions, we can win in a confrontation. Giannis, you will be off the court later, Kelly, you will play, you have a chance Just shoot three-pointers, and everyone else is the same, boldly shoot three-pointers when there is space, don’t be afraid of missing shots, understand?”

"No problem, boss!"

"Understood, just don't give the referee a chance to blow the whistle, no problem!"

Everyone responded one after another, and the depression in their hearts eased a lot.

Zhang Yu is right, if you can't offend the referee, can't you still hide?
They simmered in their hearts and wanted to show the referee that they could win even with offense alone!

At the same time, on the Cavaliers bench on the other side of the technical stage, Director Lu said loudly:
"We have home court advantage, try to hit the ball inside, look for every opportunity, create physical confrontation, don't float outside to shoot, increase aggressiveness on the defensive end, apply physical confrontation, again, we have a physical advantage..."

The Cavaliers nodded again and again, their expressions relaxed a lot.

James' eyes showed reminiscence even more, thinking of the 2009 Eastern Conference Finals, and the 2013 Eastern Conference Finals and the Pacers' tiebreaker.

James thought of the good old days. It was an era when he brought his own buffs on the court and exuded a "dominant aura".

Today's whistleblowing made him feel that wonderful feeling again.

Cleveland, your emperor is back!

……

After the timeout, the two sides returned to the court, the game continued, and the Cavaliers sent a sideline ball from the backcourt.

Ke Fan noticed the Warriors' substitutions:
"Zhang Yu replaced Brother Antetokounmpo and Olynyk. Has the Warriors' rotation moved forward?"

Yang Yi frowned and thought for a moment, but didn't see Zhang Yu's intention, so he could only say:
"Letter is only a foul, and there is no need for protection... Zhang Yu should improve the offensive space. Olynik can shoot three-pointers, which is why he is better than Alphabet. Alphabet's range is too short."

James also saw the Warriors' substitution, and was overjoyed. He dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and didn't name Curry. He started directly and carried Leonard to the penalty area.

Olynyk came up to help defend, James was not afraid at all, and leaned on him and Leonard with the ball.

But the two did not confront James head-on, but chose to avoid it. James made a layup directly, 7:5.

After James landed, he gave Leonard a strange look.

Olynik's style of play is soft, and it is normal for him to avoid physical confrontation, but Leonard's defense has always been known for his aggressiveness, so how can he actively avoid physical confrontation?

James didn't notice that when he was about to lean on the two of them just now, the referee had already put the whistle by his mouth, making a gesture to blow it, and only put it down when he saw that there was no physical contact.

The Cavaliers lost too badly in the first two games, Xiao Hua issued a strict order again, the referee can only start to exert strength from the first quarter, otherwise the Cavaliers are really no match for the Warriors.

If Leonard dared to lean forward just now, the referee tried his best to refuse him, and would also give him a foul and let him go to rest for two fouls.

But Zhang Yu's foresight prevented the referee from blowing the whistle.

However, James scored directly and scored from the free throw line. It is the same for the referee.

Looking back, Curry and Olynyk pick and roll, Love came up to pinch, Curry gave the ball to Olynyk, who caught the ball and shot a three-pointer into the net, 8:7.

Ke Fan praised:

"Olynyk made a three-pointer when he came on the field, and the effect of Zhang Yu's substitution was immediate!"

At the turn of the round, James still directly broke through with the ball. Leonard controlled the distance and did not dare to get entangled with James.

Yang Yi was puzzled and said:
"James' two layups were a little too easy, why did Leonard hesitate, you have to confront James!"

Ke Fan sneered, and said in a strange way:
"Going to confrontation? Leonard has already committed a foul. If there is another confrontation, the referee blows his whistle, and he has to go off the field and sit down."

Yang Yi came to a sudden:

"You are right. This may have been deliberately arranged by Zhang Yu to control physical contact and not give the referee a chance to whistle. No wonder he replaced Olynyk. This is to fight against the Cavaliers!"

　The end of this testimonial is to lie to you, I wish everyone a happy April Fool's Day!
