Chapter 688 As long as there are human referees, there will be disputes over the rulings!
German coach Herbert called a timeout.
He was very dissatisfied with the substitutes who came on.
It took their key players seven minutes to build a five-point lead, but the substitutes wiped out the deficit in just one minute!
This almost made the Canadian head coach swear.
On the other side, Guo Shiqiang did not explain the tactics first, but looked at David Muoka, who had been resting for a few minutes.
"David, you're up here."
David Muoka nodded and drank the water in the bottle in one gulp.
At the power forward position, David Muoka is like a bug in the system for the Hebei China Fortune team.
He has the physique, height, wingspan, and speed, and even a somewhat inconsistent three-point shot.
Although Ben Sullivan said that David Muolaka has been practicing three-pointers with the Trail Blazers this season, it is unknown how effective it has been.
The pause ended quickly.
The players from both sides returned to the field to begin the final two minutes of the game.
At this point, no one wanted to fall behind at the end of the first quarter.
Germany has possession of the ball.
Schroder passed the ball to Wagner, who had come back on the field, and the latter finally scored.
David Mullaka was faked out by Wagner's step-back and failed to block the ball.
But when he saw David Muoka jumping in the air, Wagner Jr. still looked shocked.
Does this guy jump that high?
Given how dark-skinned he is, is he really from the same country as the king?
Wagner was still complaining in his mind when he saw the guy land and turn around and run away.
Just as he was about to turn around and chase after him, he saw the tall guy from the Chinese team pick up the basketball, step out of bounds with one foot, and lift the other foot up.
With a whoosh, the basketball flew right in front of Wagner!
Schroeder realized that the Chinese team wanted to launch a fast break from the baseline, so he had already given up on Wang Xiucheng and stepped back two steps.
This allowed him to run back as David Muoka accelerated.
A few steps later, Schroeder approached David Muoka and bumped his shoulder into him.
This caused David Mullaka, who reached out to catch the ball, to veer slightly off course and lose control of the basketball.
The net bounced upwards when his fingers touched it.
Without any hesitation, David Muoka jumped up and reached for the basketball again.
But Schroeder reached down again and gently pushed David Muoka's waist.
Although it was a "gentle" touch, it was impossible for David Muoka to control the ball.
If he tries to grab the ball, he will lose control of his body after landing, allowing Schroder to steal it.
But David Muoka, in mid-air, caught a glimpse of one of his own players wearing a red jersey in the center circle.
Without any hesitation, David Muoka slapped the ball out with one hand, passing it to the man.
Then David Muoka had time to see who that person was.
Wang Xiucheng!
David Muoka breathed a sigh of relief. After landing on the ground, he was pushed back several steps by Schroeder, and stood outside the sideline.
Wang Xiucheng slowed down slightly, caught the basketball with both hands, and rushed forward.
Schroeder turned around and slapped Wang Xiucheng on the arm.
However, Wang Xiucheng's basketball had already landed on the left side, leaving his right hand for Schroder.
With a whistle, the referee's whistle blew.
Even so, Schroeder showed no intention of letting go, holding onto Wang Xiucheng tightly to prevent him from having any chance to break free.
However, Wang Xiucheng still rushed out, and the basketball was in Wang Xiucheng's left hand.
Wang Xiucheng raised the basketball with his left hand and threw it out beyond the three-point line.
The net flew in an arc towards the basket.
With a loud thud, the basketball hit the rim.
Schroder looked at the ball, and cold sweat broke out on his brow.
When the basketball hit the rim, Schroder was so frightened that he almost squatted down.
That was absolutely terrifying!
With a whistle, the referee blew his whistle again and made his ruling to the scorer's table.
Schroder committed a foul, and Wang Xiucheng got two free throws.
Seeing the two free throws, Schroder almost punched himself in relief.
But Wang Xiucheng wouldn't have it, and went straight to the referee, saying, "This was a three-pointer, shouldn't I get three free throws?"
"That was a foul beforehand, you can't get three free throws." The referee shook his head, then went to the baseline.
Wang Xiucheng looked annoyed and, without saying anything more, went to the free throw line to prepare for the free throw.
Ben Sullivan sat behind the partition, somewhat taken aback.
Just a few minutes earlier, Schroder had exchanged a few words with the referee after committing a foul.
However, it was a one-way communication; the referee didn't reply to Schroeder with a single letter.
However, when Wang Xiucheng protested to the referee, the referee offered an explanation, which made Ben Sullivan realize that even on the international stage, Wang Xiucheng had a certain influence on the referee's decisions.
Just like James Curry.
Basketball, or any competitive sport with human referees, is bound to have controversial calls.
If a team has a player who can get a little bit of whistleblowing, then that team won't be at a disadvantage in terms of officiating.
However, Ben Sullivan was also well aware that if it were him, and Wang Xiucheng or Schroeder were to protest, he would naturally prefer to talk to the former.
He even harbored some dislike for Schroeder, the black man, though he would never say it aloud.
Swish!
Swish!
Wang Xiucheng made both free throws.
With a score of 28-27, China has narrowed the gap to just one point.
The time has officially come to within one minute.
The good news is that Germany has possession of the ball.
The bad news is...
The rest is all bad news!
Whether it's Schroder who committed two fouls or Theis who has some knee discomfort, it's all fucking bad news!
Schroder brought the ball up the pitch and began to run down the clock.
Schroder knew several key points to effectively counter "Wang's Time," the first being to reduce Wang Xiucheng's offensive time and keep him away from the ball handler.
At this point, Wang Xiucheng was switched to the corner.
Schroeder was facing Guo Haowen.
Of course, he didn't know the name of the person in front of him. In fact, apart from Wang Xiucheng, he didn't know anyone else on the Chinese team.
On the contrary, there were quite a few familiar faces in the uniformed group.
With 5 seconds left on the offensive clock, Schroder finally made his move.
Schroder faked out Guo Haowen with almost a single move, entered the paint, and then tossed the ball over.
He even glanced at Wang Xiucheng to make sure Wang Xiucheng was still on the baseline before he confidently threw the ball.
but……
With a snap, the basketball, which had already left someone's grasp, was slapped down by a large black hand and flew directly out of bounds.
Schroeder quickly looked over and discovered it was that big black guy from the Chinese team!
When did he come into my life?
Schroeder had no time to think.
The German team is preparing to take the throw-in.
With only 3 seconds left on the shot clock, it was extremely tight; he had to shoot immediately after receiving the ball.
If he chooses to pass the ball, his teammate needs to receive it and then shoot, and 3 seconds is not enough time to complete the operation.
Everyone crowded around the penalty line. When the referee handed the ball to the German player, Schröder suddenly left the crowd. His teammate blocked the Chinese player who was chasing Schröder with a goal.
Schroder caught the ball, but he was still a bit far from the three-point line, so he dribbled a step to get half a step outside the three-point line.
The next moment, Schroder made the last-second shot.
However, with a loud bang, this extreme shot failed to go in!
