On April 26, Beijing time, after the start of the NBA playoffs, there was also a lot of controversy about the referee's blowing penalty, in the past 2 days, the Timberwolves and Grizzlies have blown a total of 56 fouls, and the Warriors and Nuggets have blown 58 fouls, successively refreshing the single-game foul record in the playoffs. Such blows, there was some dissatisfaction, 76ers player Embiid and Grizzlies coach Jenkins publicly criticized the referee, and finally got the league's fine.
The NBA officially announced that 76ers star Embiid was fined $15,000 for publicly criticizing the referee.
In the series G4 between the 76ers and the Raptors, Embiid was very dissatisfied with the referee's blowing penalty, and after the game, he applauded the three referees, which was also very obvious, that is, mocking the referee for blowing the penalty "excellent". After the game, he also said bluntly: "I feel like the referees are going to come here to complete a task, their task is done, and it is done very well." ”
The 76ers eventually lost the last game and thus missed a 4-0 sweep, and the two teams will also usher in the G5 match and will return to the 76ers home. But for the league, it is certainly not happy to have a 4-0 sweep, which means that the game is much less watchable. But as the core of the team, Embiid must stand up at this time, give the referee some pressure, and cannot let the referee blow the penalty, otherwise the next game will encounter the same trouble.
NBA officials announced that Grizzlies coach Jenkins was fined $15,000 for publicly criticizing the referee.
Also g4, the Grizzlies coach also aimed his finger at the referees after the game, "In my opinion, this is one of the worst blow-blowing games I've seen in my NBA career, and I've never seen such a different size and arrogant blow-off before." The Grizzlies were blown 33 fouls and the Timberwolves scored 40 free throws, and the Grizzlies lost the game and the score became 2-2. The two teams will have a battle at Tenno Mountain, and the Grizzlies' path to advancement is a bit dangerous.
