"Wang, calm down and trust my judgment. This is indeed a foul.

As referees, we are all professional and you can trust our judgment.

You didn't commit a foul, but others did, and you can take a look at the replay."

NBA referees still allow players to make judgments and will not give you a technical foul just because you want to say something.

It's actually quite reasonable.

The reason why NBA referees are so generous is not because all referees have this kind of personality. It should be said that they are confident in their professionalism.

I am convinced that my judgment is correct. At this time, no matter how much you argue, you still feel like a clown.

On the contrary, it is the kind of referee who obviously has very average professionalism and often makes misjudgments.

At this time, without professionalism or strength to rely on, naturally we can only rely on deterrence.

What is the most deterrent?

Naturally, it is a technical foul. As long as someone dares to question the referee, it is a technical foul!

In this case, does anyone dare to question it?

After all, "I know I was wrong, but I can't change it." If you maintain your dignity with such a defense, what's the point of calling a few more technical fouls?

When the replay appeared on the big screen in the center of the arena, Wang Hao quickly raised his head to watch.

Well, what a foul!

Wang Hao did not commit a foul. In fact, his block was an excellent shot.

However, PJ Brown, who was standing in front of Kobe, made an obvious move to suppress him.

Facing a star like Kobe, the referee will definitely call such a foul!

It would be the same if it were Wang Hao!

However, a foul at this time is not good news for the Sonics.

After all, foul shots are definitely the easiest way to score among all offensive methods.

Not only that, the timer also stopped, which is not very comfortable for the disadvantaged team.

After all, Kobe is not O'Neal, but his free throws are trustworthy and very accurate.

2 of 2 free throws were made. At this moment, the pressure was directly on the SuperSonics.

103:100

There is only a 3-point difference, and there are 48 seconds left in the game, which means that the Lakers still have at least one chance to attack.

If the Sonics don't score in the next attack, then all the initiative will be given to the Lakers.

Once the Lakers score, whether it's two points or three points, the victory or defeat will be in an instant.

Even if the Lakers fail to score, they will definitely resort to foul tactics, and everything will be in suspense again.

Paul Westphal did not dare to be careless and quickly called a timeout. He needed to make tactical arrangements.

"In this attack, Wang and Gary still cooperate, but don't change the position at the top of the key."

Because it was only a short pause of 20 seconds, Paul Westphal could not explain much.

His arrangement is still very simple, that is, choose to believe in Wang Hao and Gary Payton, and choose to believe in the core of his team.

He did not arrange who would carry out the final attack, but let the two of them choose on their own.

Whether it's Gary Payton or Wang Hao, they both have a big heart to strike at critical moments.

Rather than making a rigid arrangement, it may be more appropriate to allow the two of them to choose more freely.

He just asked the two to cooperate in the pick-and-roll, slightly apart from the front to the wing, at about a 45-degree position.

This gives the other side more space.

When Wang Hao spreads the ball, he also has a wider running range, and Gary Payton's passing angle is also wider.

The short pause of 20 seconds ended quickly, the two sides returned to the field again, and the final battle began.

Logically speaking, at this decisive moment, one should be very passionate.

However, when Gary Payton dribbled the ball from the backcourt, he was not in a hurry and seemed very calm.

I have to say that having an elder in the family is like having a treasure.

Seeing Gary Payton looking so calm, other members of the Sonics team also felt somewhat calmed down at this time.

At this critical moment, we need to be steady.

Time passed little by little, and almost ten seconds passed before Gary Payton signaled Wang Hao to pick and roll.

This time, Wang Hao opened up a wider area, and the Lakers did not dare to continue double-teaming like before.

After all, this kind of defense is very risky. If it fails, it will leave a big gap for Wang Hao.

However, seeing the Lakers swapping defenders, Gary Payton didn't hesitate and passed the ball out simply.

Not only did he trust Wang Hao, but when facing Kobe, he was not very sure when he had no advantage in height.

Looking at Fisher who was a head shorter in front of him, Wang Hao did not take action directly because Fisher was standing very far forward, almost next to him.

At this time, Wang Hao didn't think too much, but simply made a breakthrough.

However, Fisher seemed to have expected it, and immediately stepped back without slowing down.

Wang Hao's pace of breakthrough slowed down. He pulled the ball and the basketball came back again, and he was already back outside the three-point line.

Without any delay, he took action.

Yes, at this most critical moment, he still chose the three-pointer. He trusted himself more to score the three-pointer.

After all, it is a three-pointer with a rating of 95, so he is certainly confident.

Moreover, today's NBA concept is still the same, choose a closer shooting position as much as possible.

Given a two-point shot, no one would choose a three-point shot.

Even though Fisher stands very forward, in fact, he is always ready to step back.

His forward position was just a bluff, and he didn't want to give Wang Hao room to take action too easily.

No, after Wang Hao pulled the ball back and chose a three-point shot, Fisher was obviously unable to come back.

In everyone's eyes, the basketball flew out of an arc and rushed towards the basket.

Almost at this moment, the originally bustling arena turned a little quiet.

Of course, this silence did not last long.

"boom!"

"Well done, King!"

"King, I love you so much!"

…

The entire Key Arena was almost boiling, and the fans cheered and cheered one after another.

Especially under the leadership of the live DJ, the waves became higher and higher, making it extremely lively.

That's right, the ball went in!

Facing Fisher, Wang Hao responded extremely strongly with a three-pointer, and the ball went in.

"This is a shot through the heart. Wang Hao almost killed the game with one of his signature three-pointers."

Sun Zhengping's equally excited voice sounded. He never thought that the SuperSonics could really defeat the Lakers.

You know, in the previous two rounds of the series, the Lakers almost showed an invincible attitude.

Moreover, in the previous few minutes, the SuperSonics played particularly hard, and the situation worsened step by step.

Watching the Lakers chip away at the point difference little by little, and it seemed that they might overtake the score at any time, really made him sweat.

After getting nervous, Zhang Weiping was also a little excited: "Wang Hao is great, it's really amazing.

At such a critical moment, it is really amazing to have the courage to take responsibility and score the ball.

Not everyone can have such a big heart, and this is not Wang Hao's first kill."

106:100

The score difference returned to 6 points again, and now, there was less than half a minute left before the end of the game.

It should be 28 seconds to be exact.

For the Lakers, this is actually a bit desperate. This ball is simply heartbreaking.

If the point difference remains at 6 points, that's okay.

Now, with the point difference narrowed by 3 points, the Lakers can already see the hope of a comeback.
