The world of basketball

Chapter 107 Rules and Wisdom

"Beep-"

The referee blew the whistle, and Mu Xiaobei spread his hands helplessly, expressing his innocence.

This is already Harden's No. 12 free throws, but now the third quarter has just passed 3 minutes, and in these 3 minutes, the referee has already sounded the whistle on Harden four times.

Mu Xiaobei's fourth foul, now he is in some trouble.

"Oh, this foul was recorded on Mu Xiaobei, which is not good news for the Spurs." Wang Meng said.

"Harden's ability to make fouls is really rare in the world. Usually when players break through, they hold the ball in their arms or hold it high. In order to prevent it from being cut off by defensive players, Harden does the opposite. "Su Qun said: "He just droops his hands down, and when he takes three steps, his hands move up. Many times the players don't know what's going on, and they commit fouls."

The league once introduced the "Harden Law", and we were all very impressed by an offensive round in the Western Conference Finals-at that time, Paul's left leg fell off the chain, and Harden led the team to challenge the Warriors with a single core.

In the third quarter, Harden singled Clay with the ball at a 45-degree angle, and then made a step-back jumper. The ball hit the net, and Clay's arm was still hanging in Harden's hand.

But the referee kept signaling that the shot was invalid.

This is the presentation of Harden's law. Harden's law, in simple terms, is that if the offensive player makes a shooting action when the offensive player and the defensive player have physical contact, it is considered a shooting foul. That is to say, when the offensive player is dribbling At this time, when the defensive player puts his hand on the offensive player's arm, it is already a foul. Common foul prior to field goal.

The promulgation of this rule has aroused relatively large repercussions, and the discussion of whether Clay's foul on Harden in the Western Conference Finals should be a shooting foul or an ordinary foul pushed this rule to everyone.

Sometimes many people feel aggrieved by this, because when the offensive player is dribbling, the defensive player puts his hand on the offensive player's arm. Sometimes the referee will not blow, and when the offensive player makes a shooting action, the referee said that that was just now. Common early foul.

You call it early for an early foul, and you don’t call it early, and you say it’s an early foul after I made a shot. Isn’t this just a joke!

Of course, this is not talking about Harden’s ball. After all, the referee blew the whistle when Harden took the ball and signaled that it was a common foul. At that time, the ball did not know whether it would be scored or not, and there was no intention of targeting it. .

However, the introduction of this rule made it difficult for those who are used to cheating on the whistle, especially those who like to fight for three-point fouls, such as Harden, Gordon, um, they seem to be Rockets.

However, physical contact after the shot is still considered a shooting foul, which is why Harden played 3+1 twice.

And the most important thing is that Harden's rule for three-step layups is not particularly suitable, because fouls during three-step layups are counted as shooting fouls and free throws no matter what.

Harden made two free throws amid the boos of the Spurs fans. The boos of the fans were not too confident. After all, they also have a player who likes to use the rules.

Although he has retired, they still love him.

The cross screen between Mu Xiaobei and Belinelli changed defenses, Mu Xiaobei put Harden on his back, Mudiay passed the ball in time, Mu Xiaobei received the ball but Harden grabbed the belt, and did not Can turn around very smoothly.

So Mu Xiaobei pushed Harden with his back, hit his back, and then pushed his back to turn his back and hook his hands. We all know that when we need to speed up or turn around, the dribble will be stronger than usual .

But Mu Xiaobei didn't expect that Harden caught him at this moment, and Harden fell down. The referee blew his whistle and punched hard forward.

Offensive foul!

"Oh--"

All the fans suddenly became restless.

???

Mu Xiaobei has committed five fouls?

Harden stared at the big screen with his eyes wide open, with a cute and innocent look on his face.

But how powerful is Mu Xiaobei?How powerful is Harden?Although it is nominally big against small, Mu Xiaobei's strength is not necessarily stronger than Harden's.

In other words, Harden definitely acted, and he acted very similarly.

"Oh—the Spurs are really in trouble. Mu Xiaobei has already fouled five times, and four of them were dedicated to Harden." Wang Meng said.

"Harden is really a thief. He seems to deliberately make Mu Xiaobei foul." Su Qun said: "It seems that Mu Xiaobei will not play for a long time in the third quarter. Another foul He's going to have to graduate with six crimes."

Before the foul was counted, the Rockets sent a sideline kick, Harden dribbled the ball across half court, and called Zhou Qi to come over for a pick-and-roll.

Mu Xiaobei had no choice but to change it, but he was a little timid, after all, he also knew that if he was fouling, he would be cold, and he himself was more reticent.

Then, Harden directly made a breakthrough, Mu Xiaobei could only support Harden with his body, and raised his hands high up, as if to prove his innocence to the referee.

Then Harden hit a small throw with his left hand, and the Spurs quickly requested a timeout.

Popovich's first proposal was to ask Gasol to replace Mu Xiaobei. Mu Xiaobei looked very proud when he saw that the corners of Harden's mouth hidden under the beard seemed to be slightly raised.

"Paul, if James still plays the pick-and-roll, you should shrink your defense and don't rush to pounce. After all, James' hand feeling is not good today, so you can give him a few three-point shots after the pick-and-roll." Popovich methodically Arranging the work of the disciples.

"LaMarcus, if you are not on the court, you will take more responsibility for offensive support and frame protection. You don't have to be obsessed with singles, and you should pay more attention to the position of your teammates."

Sitting on the cold bench, Mu Xiaobei watched his teammates struggle desperately on the field, feeling extremely anxious.

It's not the first time he's been like this, but in the playoffs, he shouldn't be like this.

He is now completely sure that he is following Harden's way, and Harden deliberately made him foul, so that the Spurs' inside line will be even tighter.

He will not be angry, because he is an adult, and he clearly knows that some people may despise this kind of behavior of using rules, but using rules can sometimes bring miraculous results, and how to make the most effective use of what everyone knows Rules, this is a kind of wisdom.

And now Mu Xiaobei is very lacking in this kind of wisdom, and also very lacking in the way to deal with this kind of wisdom.

After all, Gasol is a little older, and the effect is a little worse than Mu Xiaobei, but fortunately, Harden's touch today is really average, and he has not scored three-pointers after three pick-and-rolls.

But the Spurs were affected after all.

With 3 minutes left in the third quarter, the Spurs were down to [-] points. Popovich patted Mu Xiaobei on the shoulder and signaled him to come over, as if he wanted to explain something.

　There are only two changes today, and it should not be the first day it is put on the shelves, but there are still some things to deal with in the new residence.
