On May 26, Beijing time, the NBA officially released the final two minute referee report of the G2 match. The report shows that there was only one missed judgment in the last two minutes of the game, that is, the missed blow of Owen's foul against McDaniels' thugs. In addition, all the decisions were correct. After the game, there were hostages who doubted Dongqi's three-point shot, and the report also confirmed that he did not move. This three-point shot was effective.
The only time he missed a judgment was when Owen contacted McDaniels' forearm with 47.8 seconds to the end of the game, causing him to lose control of the ball. This is a missed thug foul, the Timberwolves suffer, and the Lone Ranger gains.
At that time, the referee originally ruled that Owen was out of bounds, and the lone ranger then challenged. The playback center confirmed that the out of bounds ball was the last contact of McDaniels, announced that the challenge was successful, and returned the ball to the lone ranger. The report points out that when the challenge is out of bounds, individual fouls do not belong to the items that can be reviewed.
In fact, after the game, the Timberwolves and team reporter Chris Hine interviewed the referee Zach Zaba at the first time, and the referee also gave the corresponding explanation.
reporter: At the last moment, when looking back at Jaden McDaniels' out of bounds ball, can you explain whether you still saw the foul that should be called at that time?
referee: In the game, we thought it was a normal foul ball. Obviously, the Lone Ranger coach questioned this, and the Replay Center overturned the original judgment (the Lone Ranger player touched out of bounds), because the ball finally touched McDaniels. But in retrospect after the game, we did see that Owen illegally touched McDaniels' forearm, which was an action that should have been condemned as a foul.
reporter: Now it needs to be clarified that the lone ranger had already challenged this round, so the Timberwolves could not challenge this decision again, saying that the ball was out of bounds because McDaniels was fouled by (Owen)?
referee: Yes, according to the challenge rules of the NBA, in this case, you can't challenge the decision without a foul.
reporter: Can the Timberwolves preempt the challenge, saying that McDaniels was fouled instead of the ball out of bounds? Or is it unchallengeable?
referee: You can't be challenged. You can't challenge a round without a foul call, and the ball was initially awarded to the Timberwolves. You can't challenge the ball right awarded to you.
According to the current challenge rules of NBA coaches, when a ball out of bounds is challenged, the referee can look at the following items in addition to the correctness of the judgment of the ball out of bounds when playing back the video——
1. Is the game time over before the ball goes out of bounds?
2. Is the 24 second attack over before the ball goes out of bounds?
3. Before the ball goes out of bounds, is there any 8-second backcourt violation?
4. How much time should be left for game time and 24 seconds for attack respectively?
5. Are there any behaviors or actions against sports ethics?
6. If the out of bounds ball is to be changed and there is a shooting action at the whistle, it is necessary to see whether the whistle is played before or after the shooting action.
So although Owen's hitter and the referee admitted that this was a missed judgment, they had no right to change the judgment. They could only change the ownership of the ball according to the rules, ignoring Owen's foul. There is no doubt that Kidd and his coaching team have made full use of the "loophole" in this rule.
Previously, there were also hostages who suspected that Dongqi's three-point shot was a step. The referee reported that Dongqi's axis was on his right foot when he hit the ball. He took two steps and then shot, but this goal did not move.
In this game, the lone ranger narrowly defeated the Timberwolves 109-108, and changed the total score of the western showdown to 2-0. The Timberwolves led by 18 points at most, but the Eastern European team of the Lone Ranger withstood the pressure and finally narrowly defeated the opponent. Dong Qiqi had 32 points, 13 assists and 10 rebounds, and sprayed rubbish words at Gobel after he hit a three-point shot. Owen scored 20 points, including 13 in the fourth quarter. Edwards made 5 of 17 shots, got 21 points, 7 assists and 5 rebounds, and made a fatal error at the last moment. Downes hit 4 of 16 and was abandoned by the coach in the last 9 minutes.
