Beijing time on December 18, the NBA regular season continued. The Rockets lost to the Bucks 119-128 in an away game, ending their five-game winning streak. The Rockets played very badly in this game and received controversial calls. At the last moment, Dillon and Uduka were dissatisfied with the referee's call and were both ejected. After the game, the referee was also targeted. In terms of strength, the Rockets are indeed not as good as the Bucks. , but there are indeed some inconsistencies in the whistleblowing.
The most obvious thing is about the elbow strike. During a Bucks offense in the first half, Lopez hit VanVleet hard in the face with his elbow. The latter fell to the ground in pain, but the referee had no reaction. , and did not review the video. After the game, the referee Kennedy said: This is the correct penalty. He believes that the contact between Luo and VanVleet is part of normal basketball actions, so the review mechanism of the video review was not triggered.
would be fine if they were all on this scale, but in the last quarter, Dillon Brooks broke through and scored a layup, and then Connaughton fell to the ground in pain. In slow motion reality, Dillon hit Connaughton's face, and then the Bucks players began to complain. This time the referee actually ran to watch the video. Then Dillon was given an offensive foul and the goal was cancelled. VanVleet immediately expressed dissatisfaction with the referee's call, "Why didn't you look when I was elbowed?" This is a typical double standard. It was an obvious elbow hit, but it had a different penalty.
In the final stage, the Rockets were still counterattacking. Dillon had a chance to complete the steal. After contact with the opponent, he fell out of bounds. However, the referee did not call any penalty. This also caused Dillon's dissatisfaction and yelled at the referee. This also He received two technical fouls in a row and was directly ejected. At this opportunity, coach Uduka also expressed his dissatisfaction and was also whistled for two consecutive technical fouls by the referee. In other words, the referee gave the Rockets 4 technical fouls in a row. In the end, Lillard was a little embarrassed when he stepped to the free throw line and made 3 free throws in 4 free throws.
In addition, when Antetokounmpo took a free throw, Rockets coach Udoka personally counted down the countdown. He had not taken a shot after counting 10 seconds, but the referee showed no sign. After the game, Uduka was also very dissatisfied with the referee's call. He brought up the scene where VanVleet was elbowed. He bluntly said that he saw it on the other side of the field, but the three referees were there but couldn't see it. Originally inferior to the opponent in terms of strength, and the referee had to target him, it was indeed difficult to win.
