The Godfather of Basketball

"Hey~"

Just then, there was a knock on the office door.

"It's me, Darrell." Morey's voice followed.

Tang Tian's face brightened, Mo Lei came just in time.

When Mo Lei entered the office, he saw Tang Tian looking at him with joy, as if seeing a lover, his face blushed unconsciously.

"I think the referee's penalty in the next game will be better." Morey continued.

"Yes, I know."

"you know?"

"Yes, ratings."

The two asked and answered, and smiled knowingly. Needless to say, they already knew what they were thinking.

"However, I think we still have to find Mr. Alexander. The core of the league is still 30 bosses. Only Alexander's attitude can ensure the true fairness of the penalty scale in the next game."

"Yes, you're right." Originally, Mo Lei only saw Tang Tian shut himself in the office to comfort him, but Tang Tian did think more than him.

Alexander did not come to Boston, and the two communicated on the phone.

The communication went smoothly. As the team owner, he naturally didn't want the Rockets to lose in unfair penalties.

Naturally, this matter will not be made public, but on the second day, Alexander replied to Morey and Tang Tian, ​​the league will put pressure on the referee union, and the penalty scale for the fourth game will be changed.

This is the best news.

The fifth game of the series continues to be played in Boston. This will be the "Battle of Tianwang Mountain" between the two sides, and it will also be the last home of the finals here.

If the Celtics can win the game and get a three-game winning streak, then they will directly get two championship match points.

The atmosphere in the North Shore Garden Arena before the game was amazing, and the fans in Boston were all going crazy in the last home court.

"Don't pay attention to the penalty, show your own level and win this game!" Before the game started, Tang Tian pulled the players and shouted.

The penalty is normal, as long as the Rockets play at their level, winning the game is definitely not a problem.

The starting lineups of the two sides continued to debut, and both teams continued to use the starting lineups of the previous two games.

Yao Ming took the lead in winning the offensive opportunity for the Rockets.

Millsap continued to play in the low post according to the tactical arrangement.

Back, turn, back, turn, Millsap squeezes past Brown for a layup.

Brown continued his play, and though there wasn't much confrontation, he fell to the ground the instant Millsap turned.

Only this time, the referee didn't blow his whistle.

There was booing.

But the referee ignored it.

The Celtics' offense, Garnett's pick-and-roll overturned Billups to the ground, and the referee's whistle sounded, indicating a cover foul.

Garnett chased the referee for a while to protest, only to get a warning whistle.

The scene was full of black whistle curses.

The referee still chose to ignore it.

After watching these two rounds, Tang Tian silently clenched his fists, the penalty scale finally became normal.

The whistling of one offense and one defense also made the Celtics realize that the penalty scale has changed.

Brown started playing against Millsap, but he soon discovered that the second-year player on the opposite side was really strong.

After a few hits, Millsap squeezed away Brown's venting two-handed dunks, which boosted the morale of the Rockets.

The Big Three of the Rockets have always performed well, so that people will always selectively ignore the second-year player Millsap, but after he really let him play, he realized how terrifying his scoring explosive power is.

Under Tang Tian's training, Millsap's back-hitting and three-pointers became increasingly stable, coupled with his original half-block and rebounding ability, even if he was only a sophomore, his strength was already very close to the peak period in his previous life. The only thing he lacked was It's just experience.

Millsap was overwhelming inside the Celtics, and the Rockets' offense also regained the smoothness of the first two games.

However, the situation on the court was not one-sided.

Although the defensive end is a little overwhelmed, the Celtics' Big Three feel exceptionally good tonight.

The basket is like a sea, and there are almost no missed shots.

The situation between the two sides has been tense from the very beginning.

In the last three minutes of the game, the Rockets led by a narrow margin of 102 to 101, and the Celtics took the offensive round.

The Rockets did a very good defense at this time, and they did not give the Celtics a chance to attack.

There was not much time left on the offensive, and Rondo handed the ball to Garnett in the low post for a strong play.

Garnett leaned against Yao Ming and didn't have a good chance to make a move.

The two are both technical insiders, and Yao Ming's strength on both ends of the offense and defense is now even more dominant.

Garnett forcibly turned around and shot. Yao Ming saw the opportunity and slapped him.

"Snapped!"

Garnett's shot was slapped off the field.

There was an uproar at the scene.

The Rockets' bench burst into excitement.

But at this moment, the referee's whistle sounded.

The bottom line referee directly pointed at Yao Ming, indicating that his thug was fouled.

"No, no!" Yao Ming ran directly in front of the referee.

Not only Yao Ming, but other Rockets players also reminded that this is a good risk.

Even Garnett himself was still shaking his head in frustration a second ago, and he didn't expect it at all.

"Replay the video, replay the video!" Tang Tian was also very angry at this time, this was a fair game, and such a penalty at the last moment was almost as excessive as the previous two games.

"After two minutes, there is no playback, go back!" The referee put down his whistle, and stretched out his hand to signal Tang Tian to back away.

The NBA stipulates that the team can request to watch the replay within two minutes of the end of the game, but after two minutes, it is up to the referee to decide whether to watch it or not.

But this ball is very important. If counted, this is Yao Ming's fifth foul in this game.

Now there are 3 minutes left in the game, Yao Ming's five fouls will be fatal to the Rockets' defense.

At this time, Tang Tian's expression suddenly turned cold: "You know the meaning of this game, and the referee union must have reminded you, do you want to give me a fair penalty, or do you want to lose your job?"

What Tang Tian said was very cold, it was no longer a protest, but a threat.

The line referee didn't expect Tang Tian to speak like this. He was stunned for a while before he remembered that he was the referee, and put the whistle to his mouth and blew Tang Tian a technical foul.

There was cheers at the scene.

But what the referee didn't expect was that Tang Tian's expression was still cold, so cold that Cole and Thibodeau behind him didn't dare to pull him.

The referee was somewhat intimidated by Tang Tian's aura.

After all, he was just a referee, and Tang Tian was already a champion coach.

"Back, back, we'll watch the video." The referee finally put down his whistle.

Only then did Tang Tian walk back to the bench and sit down.

The referees watched the video and finally determined that the ball was a risk. After some discussions, they decided to change the sentence and Yao Ming's fifth foul was also cancelled.

There was a commotion at the scene.

When the camera was shown on Tang Tian, ​​the fans realized that the young, always low-key and humble coach looked frighteningly cold. They originally wanted to boo, but now they couldn't make a sound.
