NBA: I just want to play soy sauce, you let me win the championship

Chapter 128 Iron Judge Bavita

On the offensive end, the Kings still played wonderful cooperation, and finally Bibby fired from beyond the three-point line, and the ball went into the basket accurately.

At 58:58, both sides returned to the same starting line again.

Next, the Kings showed their gorgeous offense and continued to use wonderful cooperation to score basketball.

The Lakers, on the other hand, used the two strengths of O'Neal and Kobe to continuously tear apart the Kings' defense.

By the fourth quarter, the scores of the two teams were still entangled.

But the Kings have had enough.

Only 4 minutes into the fourth quarter, Divac got his sixth foul and was sent off.

In the 8th minute, Pollard, who came off the bench, also fouled 6 times and was sent off.

In the last 4 minutes, the center position of the Kings can only be played by the substitute's substitute, Fang De Burke.

But O'Neal, who saved his strength in the first half, now seems to have endless strength, constantly impacting the Kings' inside line.

The game entered the last 2 minutes, and Weber also received his 6th foul during a make-up defense.

Three Kings players were ejected on their home court, causing great dissatisfaction among fans.

The call of "Referees Suck!" (referees stupid) overshadowed "Beat LA" for the first time.

Lu Yuanzhi was on the court, staring at O'Neal who was also sweating. He felt that the referees in this game were not too excessive. There were home whistles and star whistles. Anyway, they just made regular penalties without receiving instructions from above.

As for the three insiders of the Kings being sent off, there is no way. O'Neal was too brutal in the second half, and he could send every ball into the ring without fouling.

Lu Yuanzhi looked up at the scoreboard, 100:89, the Kings trailed by 11 points, he also sighed in his heart.

Today O'Neill's free throw is too accurate!
13 free throws and 9 hits!
69% free throw shooting rate!

Lu Yuanzhi can't remember which season in the playoffs O'Neal was particularly accurate in free throws, but he knows that in one playoff season, O'Neal's free throw shooting rate was over 60%.

It seems that this year is the season in which O'Neal has the highest free throw percentage in the playoffs of his career.

Damn, can't you even kill sharks this year?
It's really hellish difficulty!

In the end, in the first game of the Western Conference Finals series, the Lakers defeated the Kings 106:99 on the road.

O'Neal only scored 9 points in the first half, but scored 22 points in the second half, scoring a total of 31 points.

Kobe didn't give up much, scoring 7 points in the first half, 23 points in the second half, and 30 points!
The "OK" combination was not restricted at all and scored 61 points together.

Of the other 45 points, the Lakers' role players scored 32 points in the first half and only 13 points in the second half.

It was this terrible 32 points in the half that made the Kings fall into a complete passivity.

But there was nothing I could do. The tactics I set up just happened to slip into the opponent's trap. By the time I woke up, it was already too late.

Although the Kings struggled hard in the second half with the encouragement of Lu Yuanzhi and the roar of "Beat LA" from the audience, they ultimately lost by 7 points.

As long as these role players can make a few fewer shots, this game will not be so difficult.

But failure is failure, so what excuse is there?

It's better to go back and summarize and find a solution to the problem.

However, Lu Yuanzhi and Christie's careful thinking about blocking Kobe did not have the desired effect when the situation was out of control.

The fans left the stadium in disappointment, while an emergency high-level meeting was being held at the NBA headquarters in New York.

"The Western Conference Finals between the Kings and the Lakers once again set a new high for this year's ratings, even higher than the last game between the Kings and the Mavericks!"

"This time there must be no mistakes. We need to intervene in advance to prevent the Kings from being swept out by the Lakers in advance!"

"Yes, the ratings of the Kings against the Mavericks in the last round were also very good, but because we intervened too late and did not intervene enough, the series ended quickly at 4:1 and only played 5 games. A huge loss for the league !"

In the conference room where the league's top executives gathered, all the executives expressed their opinions, but they expressed the same meaning. This round of the Western Conference finals must not end so quickly.

"There is one thing we need to pay attention to. According to the analysis, the Eastern Conference is not strong enough this year. Whether it is the Celtics or the Nets, after entering the finals, they may be swept out. The best is 4:1."

"There are Celtics in the East this year, can we have another yellow-green battle? You know, the yellow-green battle is the guarantee of ratings!"

"I'm afraid it won't work this year. The Celtics are not strong this year. Even if they are forced to enter the finals, they will end up being swept by the Lakers. It doesn't have the flavor of a yellow-green war at all. If this sign is broken, it will not be beautiful."

"What about the eastern part? Let them fight on their own without any interference?"

"Let them play their own game, intervene a little bit, and play at least 5 games, preferably 6 and 7 games. As for who makes it to the finals, it doesn't matter."

The NBA president, the little old man Stern, sat on the chair in the middle, and he didn't speak until the high-level officials in the league office had discussed the results.

"Next, we will show our hands and vote whether we should take necessary measures to ensure that we play at least 6 games in the Western Conference Finals, and preferably 7 games."

"Swipe!"

All the senior officials in the audience raised their hands.

Just kidding, the playoffs are when the league headquarters makes money and can get a higher percentage of the share.

With the current ratings, one more broadcast will bring in a lot more income!
Only with more money will everyone’s bonuses be larger, and everyone’s option dividends will be larger!
No one will have trouble with money!
Seeing that everyone agreed to intervene, Stern slowly said, "Then let's discuss how we can intervene."

"I don't recommend restricting Kobe. Michael's comeback this year proves that he is old and can no longer drive the market. We need a new league card, and Kobe is the most promising one."

"I also agree not to restrict Kobe. The league needs new superstars. Kobe is only 24 years old this year. He can still play for more than ten years. He is indeed the most promising person to take over Michael's mantle."

"Then it has to be Shaq!"

"Indeed, Shaq is unstoppable. Today he allowed 3 players and 6 fouls from the Kings, two of whom are the main players of the Kings."

"Yes, letting the team's leading star be sent off will greatly affect the ratings. I suggest that in the next game, we reduce the calls for fouls on the Kings inside."

"I agree! This will not only limit O'Neal and help the Kings, but also prevent stars from being ejected and ensure the excitement of the game."

"I agree!"

"I agree!"

Soon, the league's top leaders jointly decided to reduce penalties for inside fouls on the Kings and reduce Shaquille O'Neal's free throw opportunities.

The league's referee team, after receiving the news, also arranged suitable personnel to referee the game.

Bavita, the "iron referee" who once blew O'Neal off the court, is the most suitable candidate!
