尼克火箭昨日比賽最後時刻,火箭執行最後一擊,Aaron Holiday從外圍孤注一擲,但裁判當下吹判尼克球員Jalen Brunson犯規,火箭可以直接上罰球線罰球終結比賽,火箭終場也就靠這兩次罰球拿下勝利。
不過這個裁判當下很明顯不能被尼克隊這方接受,Brunson和Tom Thibodeau都衝向前向當時的裁判理論。
在賽後,主裁判Ed Malloy承認這是個誤判,他說:「經過賽後觀看影片,進攻球員能夠回到正常的位置,身體接觸是在投籃之後,因此這個犯規在當時不應該被吹哨。」
尼克因為這個吹判,吞下了三連敗,這場比賽還傷了近況火燙的Donte DiVincenzo,加上Julius Randle、OG Anunoby受傷,目前東區排名降回東區第四。
Ref Ed Malloy: "After seeing it during postgame…the offensive player was able to return to a normal playing position on the floor. The contact which occurred after the release of the ball therefore is incidental & marginal to the shot attempt and should not have been called" pic.twitter.com/qo2V6tKhna
