In less than 2 seconds after the battle between the Lakers and Celtics, James layup was hit by Tatum in the arm. The referee did not blow a foul, causing the Lakers to lose when the game entered Canada. This omission caused a tsunami of public opinion. The referee bowed his head and admitted his mistake, but the result of the competition could not be changed. Now the problem is coming. Will the missed judgment cause NBA to change the Ruling rules in the last 2 minutes? At least I haven’t seen the official remarks about changing the rules yet, and there are numerous cases of misjudgment, omission and counterjudgment at the last moment. James has changed by himself, which is quite doubtful. The key lies in NBA’s basic attitude towards such events: if they think it damages the league’s reputation and reduces NBA’s market value, they will find a way to solve it; if they still think that misjudgment is part of the game, and even think that it is helpful to stir up the brand and popularity of NBA, they will still let it go. However, james lost such an opportunity to win the match with free throws, which seriously affected the result of the match, indicating that the rules themselves contained loopholes. If there is no measure to fill the vulnerability, there are only two possibilities: there is no way or do not want to fill it. The shot of the layup launched by James in the last 4 seconds was clear and clear, and there was an explanation for the big screen playback on the spot, so there was no dispute. After the match, the referee also received a brief interview from the reporter of boston globe rarely, explaining two points: first: beverly expressed dissatisfaction with the missed judgment and gave the referee a camera in hand, which was inappropriate, so foul the technology; Second, tatum did have contact with james’s arm, but the referee did not see it, and the referee’s omission was true. Theoretically, the referee did not accept media interviews after the game, no matter in NBA, FIBA or CBA. However, NBA is a business alliance, which is relatively flexible. If there are major misjudgments or disputes that cause major public opinions, the judges on duty will be interviewed by local reporters rarely, and published in the form of NBA official. The referee’s report in the last 2 minutes of the next morning is certainly more indispensable. This is not enough. James’s influence is too great, and in the last few days of catching up with Jabbar’s historical scoring record, the Lakers were under great pressure, so the NBA magistrate came out to apologize publicly– Like everyone, referees make mistakes. We made a mistake in last night’s match, which made us feel painful. This missed judgment has a significant impact and will make us awake at night, but we will still try our best to be the best referee. Look at these words, the referee group couldn’t wait to kneel down to James and his fans: gut-wrenching means very painful, like twisting clothes and twisting water to twist intestines into twist, so I translated it into “heart-breaking”; sleepless nights uses the plural, which means that we are too uncomfortable to sleep at night, not one night, but many nights. The attitude is sincere enough. The result of the competition cannot be changed. What’s the use of a sincere apology? Finding ways to make up is the most sincere performance. We all agree that judges also make mistakes, but avoiding big mistakes and eliminating fundamental mistakes are the purpose of revising the rules. In recent years, NBA has made some efforts. For example, both sides have a challenge each time, which equals to two chances of correcting mistakes each time. NBA has also formulated detailed video playback regulations, the referee can watch the playback when he encounters any questions. The NBA video playback rules are 8 and a half pages long, and the coach challenge rules are 4 and a half pages long, adding up to 13 pages, which is one of the largest parts of the rules. However, everything was too much. The referee became dependent on the playback. If he didn’t see it clearly, he looked for playback. If he couldn’t make up his mind, he could find playback. At the end, he clearly had a good angle and understood it, and he also looked for playback. A game was played back many times. The game was pulled for three hours. The audience was bored and the TV station had opinions. So NBA asked the referee not to watch the playback, to ensure the smooth game, control the duration within two and a half hours. The improvement of playback rules has achieved the effect. Most matches end in two and a half hours, but if there is less playback, the error rate will increase. Moreover, the rules are hard, what can be seen and what cannot be seen, and the regulations are very detailed. Generally speaking, only the content that is difficult to distinguish with the naked eye, such as who goes out of bounds, three points and two points, interfering with the goal, whether or not, whether or not, whether or not to upgrade, can be used for playback, but whether there is a foul or not. Why can’t foul play be watched? This involves the authority of the referee and the duration of the match. If there is any doubt, watch the playback. Then the authority of the referee is gone. Every ball that is not blown must be questioned. Watch the playback. Moreover, this depends on that, the competition will start from dark to dawn. Introducing coach challenges is a revision of this principle, which can be questioned, but the number of times is limited, each person once. This is a huge progress and is widely used in other projects. However, in addition to the limit of the number of times, the coach Challenge has another major limitation: those who blow can challenge, those who don’t blow can’t. James was hit in the arm by Tatum, but he didn’t blow it. Even if the Lakers didn’t use the challenge before, they couldn’t challenge it this time. There are also two reasons for setting rules in this way. One is to protect the authority of the referee, and the other is to ensure the smoothness of the competition. Coaches can challenge fouls, go out of bounds, and interfere in the goal. They are all in the dead ball state after the whistle, and those who have not played are still in the live ball state, even if only 1.8 seconds are left when the fouls occur. Because there is no whistle, the game time is directly finished, and that time point has passed, instead of backtracking the previous time point, is one of the basic principles of playback. This principle is reasonable during most of the competition, but it becomes a bug at the end of the competition. If you read the video at the beginning of the article, you can hear Van Gandy’s comment on the missed judgment: if the ball cannot be played back, the playback (rules) will completely lose its purpose. The purpose of setting up playback rules is to make up for the deficiency of the naked eye, while missing judgment is a major manifestation of the deficiency of the naked eye. Therefore, NBA can completely revise the playback rules of the last time. The last 2 minutes, or the last 1 minute, even only the last goal was revised to let the referee take the initiative to see if there was any missed judgment. This revision does not involve the original rules for most of the competition, so as to ensure the authority of the referee and the smoothness of the competition. Will NBA take the initiative to revise it? I don’t know. But then again, there is no fish in the water, and there is no dispute at all about blowing the game, which is not in line with the interests of NBA as a business alliance. Moderate disputes and hype help to improve brand exposure. As one of the signboards of the alliance, james will become the first person in the history of the total score in a few days. He has been walking in the rivers and lakes for 20 years, and of course he knows the truth. But the 38-year-old man acted as excited as a child being robbed of toys, which showed how much he cared about the outcome of the game and how much he cared about the ranking of the lakers. Beverly said: I have never seen Lao Zhan react so much. I came forward to comfort him. He told me that he almost lost control. Beverly means that if it weren’t for Lao Zhan’s strong self-control ability, he might be furious. There are so many stars throwing chairs, kicking ice buckets, kicking billboards, and even hitting the referee with balls, but James refrained. Those senior NBA officials certainly see it. They look like a mirror in their hearts, but if they look at the hot search list, they will say: NBA is the place where miracles happen.
