Chapter 574 Mobley: They're both 21st draft picks, can't you find someone else to mess wit
Mobley gritted his teeth and tried his best to twist his arm to the side to interfere.
However, to Mobley's dismay, the ball in Wang Xiucheng's hands was gradually getting higher!
It wasn't that Wang Xiucheng had already thrown the ball, but rather that his hand holding the ball was rising.
Strictly speaking, it's Mobley who's declining!
Wang Xiucheng hovered in the air like a dragonfly!
Swish!
Just after Mobley landed, he heard the crisp sound of a basketball going through the net behind his head.
"what……"
Immediately Mobley heard Wang Xiucheng scream.
He quickly looked over and saw that Wang Xiucheng had also landed, but Wang Xiucheng actually sat down on the ground and slid towards the outside of the baseline.
In that instant, Mobley was certain he saw Wang Xiucheng push off the ground with both feet, which propelled him even further...
beep!
Just as Mobley subconsciously raised his hand to prove his innocence, the referee, whose leg had been hit by Wang Xiucheng's head, blew his whistle.
Then Mobley saw the referee reach out and touch Wang Xiucheng's head before coming onto the court and making his call for a hand-hitting foul to the technician.
Mobley was dumbfounded!
Isn't that a bit much?
Can we find someone else to take the job?
They're both from the 21 draft class, it can't be that bad!
Bickerstaff, standing on the sidelines, clutched his head in astonishment, looking like he'd seen a ghost.
Did Mobley commit a foul?
Damn it!
Bickerstaff, enraged, yelled at the referee, "I challenge! I challenge!"
The referee blew his whistle again, suspending the game.
97:84.
The Nets are now leading by 13 points.
There are only 2 minutes left.
If the ball goes in and also draws a foul on Mobley, then Mobley will have five fouls.
The next two minutes will be tough for the Cavaliers.
After exchanging high-fives with Durant and others, Wang Xiucheng plopped down on the bench.
After taking the towel and drink, Wang Xiucheng first took a sip, then covered his head with the towel to keep warm.
Towns, standing next to him, looked up, watching the replay on the big screen.
In that split second, he didn't actually see how the football king Xiu Cheng scored.
Not just him, all the fans in the stadium looked up.
The screen on the big screen showed the replay footage being reviewed by the referee.
Therefore, the angle is clearer.
In the video, Wang Xiucheng first lowered his hand, then bypassed Mobley's defensive arm, extended his arm to the side, and flicked the basketball past Mobley's side.
Furthermore, the footage clearly shows that Mobley, who jumped later, landed before Wang Xiucheng!
Of course, the referee's focus was not on who landed first, but on whether Mobley's arm touched Wang Xiucheng.
So the scene of Wang Xiucheng and Mobley interacting was played in slow motion.
The referee watched it several times, changing the camera angles several times, and finally found the point of contact.
In the footage, a camera at a tricky angle captured Mobley's elbow touching Wang Xiucheng's arm.
And it was clearly visible that Wang Xiucheng's arm was bent slightly from the impact.
Several referees whispered among themselves, and then the head referee turned on the microphone and said, "After reviewing the replay, it can be seen that when Wang was shooting, Mobley's arm touched Wang, and Wang's shot was interfered with."
"Therefore, the Cavaliers' challenge failed, they lost the right to challenge, and their timeouts were reduced by one."
The fans at Barclays Center stood up and applauded with great satisfaction upon hearing the ruling.
See, the referee is fair and just.
When Bickerstaff heard the ruling, he could only shrug helplessly and laugh in exasperation.
The replay on the big screen lasted at least three minutes before they found a scene that was barely acceptable to call a foul.
Then the three referees actually stood together and discussed it for a while.
What kind of discussion is this? We should be discussing where to eat tonight!
I'd rather you choke to death!
After the timeout ended, Wang Xiucheng stood up and returned to the court with the others.
Swish!
Wang Xiucheng made the free throw.
The Nets are now leading by 14 points, 98-84.
There are less than two minutes left.
Time was running out, and the Cavaliers had no choice but to start shooting three-pointers, hoping to quickly close the gap.
But tonight, the Cavaliers' most accurate three-point shooter was neither Mitchell nor Garland.
It was Strus, not Strus.
Struth has made seven three-pointers tonight, using 13 shot attempts.
Therefore, during this final period, Struth undoubtedly became the Nets' primary target of attention.
Dillon was like a leech, sticking to Struz constantly, which made it very difficult for Struz to get a touch on the ball.
Finally, during one of his attacks, Strus lost his composure due to Dillon's underhanded tactics and elbowed Dillon in the chest.
Dillon responded and spread his hands.
They looked as if they were embracing victory.
Instantly, the players from both sides gathered together, pushing and shoving each other while hurling insults.
The referee kept blowing his whistle.
The fans in the stadium were also cheering, seemingly not expecting that there would be such a wonderful show in the final stages of the game.
The referee finally separated the two sides and then reviewed the replay again.
The large screen also started playing the playback.
In the Penguin Live broadcast room, Yang Yi was chatting with Wang Meng and a few others.
For them, the Nets have already won tonight's game.
Therefore, the atmosphere in the live stream room was very relaxed at this time.
“We saw Udoka rush onto the field right at the start of the conflict.”
Yang Yi smiled and said into the microphone, "But Uduka didn't come to break up the fight; instead, he pulled Wang Xiucheng to the back."
"We can't say how good Uduka is as a coach, since we haven't had much contact with him."
"But he knows who the most important player on the team is."
"In this kind of conflict, if you're standing at the front, you might get punched by someone without even knowing who it is."
“Look at the Warriors, they often get into conflicts with their opponents because of Draymond Green, but Curry rarely gets involved.”
"This kind of thing can be left to people like Draymond Green. Players like Curry and Wang Hsiu-cheng should just focus on playing basketball."
Wang Meng and today's guest, Wang Shipeng, nodded in agreement.
Players like Curry and Wang Xiucheng need someone like Draymond Green to lead them.
Dillon is clearly that kind of character.
Dillon and Draymond Green are ranked first and second in the list of the most hated players voted by fans across the league. Are they just ordinary players?
"Alright, the game has resumed. Let's watch this last bit of time."
At the Barclays Center, the referees reviewed the replay and made their ruling.
Struth was flagged for flagrant foul 2 and sent off.
Towns, Dillon, Okoro, and Mobley, who joined the conflict and exacerbated it, each received a T.
Dillon seemed satisfied with the ruling and raised his hand to the fans in the stadium.
The Barclays Center instantly erupted in even greater excitement!
The game resumes.
But time was running out, and Struz, who had the best shooting touch tonight, was substituted again.
This effectively ended the match.
Finally, when the referee blew the final whistle, the Nets defeated their opponents 110-100 at home.
