On October 9, Beijing time, it was a pity that Cui Yongxi was replaced again after 1 minute and 25 seconds on the court, and two free throw scoring opportunities turned into mistakes, netizens sprayed Tyronn Lue, and the Clippers lost hundreds of millions of fans.
The NBA preseason battle between the Clippers and the Nets has attracted much attention, and everyone is rushing to see Choi Yong-hee, who was the main force on both sides in the first half, and changed the bench in the second half, but the coach of the Nets did not let Choi Yong-hee play, until there was 1 minute and 25 seconds left in the third quarter, Choi Yong-hee finally got the opportunity to appear and made his debut in the preseason. In the end, Choi Yong-hee played 8 minutes and 33 seconds in the whole game, 0 of 2 shots, 0 of 1 three-pointers, 1 of 2 free throws, 1 point, 2 rebounds, 1 turnover, and 2 fouls, with a plus/minus of -6 on the court, but it also caused two kills and performed brilliantly.
At this time, the eyes of hundreds of millions of fans are on Choi Yong-hee, welcome to the NBA, and everyone is looking forward to seeing his performance. And Choi Yong-hee is also very active and desperate, after coming up, with the Nets completing a successful defense, Choi Yong-hee immediately got the ball on the offensive end, he dribbled to kill, successfully created a foul on the opposite beater, and got two free throw opportunities.
And because the free throws were already counted at this time, Choi Yong-hee was ready to stand on the free throw line and get the first point of his NBA career. In the face of the bag of three people, he was able to force a foul, and Choi Yongxi was still very brave and dared to fight, so many fans were encouraging him at that time.
But I never expected that at this time, Clippers coach Tyronn Lue was too ignorant, and finally Cui Yongxi had a chance, and the referee blew the whistle, and Coach Lu actually chose to challenge, you said you are in the preseason, what's the point of doing this? Do you have to fight for these two points in the preseason, and you must not give the Chinese players a chance to score? A successful challenge blew off Choi Yong-hee's two free throws, and the referee directly changed the judgment to Choi Yong-hee's mistake and conceded the ball.
The two free throws turned into mistakes, which was outrageous, Tyronn Lue was really ignorant, and just after the end of this challenge, the Nets replaced Choi Yong-hee in the follow-up, and he didn't play in the 4th quarter, which means that he played this 1 minute and 25 seconds in the first wave. But if it weren't for Tyronn Lue's challenge, Choi Yong-hee scored a free throw, and the coach saw that the momentum was good, and it was likely that he would continue to keep him on the court, and then play better and better.
Is it necessary for Lue to coach the preseason challenge? is so calculating, it is the Chinese players who are pitted. Therefore, after this incident, a large number of netizens were angry at Tyronn Lue: "No wonder the Clippers can't win the championship." "Tyronn Lue, are you going to ruin Chinese basketball? "Coach Lu is true and doesn't give face. "There's no need for perch, I don't understand human feelings. It can be said that this operation directly caused the Clippers to lose hundreds of millions of Chinese fans.
