The Timberwolves were cheated by their timekeeper yesterday

At the last moment when the Timberwolves lost to the Thunder yesterday, Alexander's out-of-bounds ball was received by the fans. At the first time, the timer of the technical station gave him 0.1 second. The slow playback showed that the fans had 0.6 seconds when they received the ball, but in the end, the referee had no right to watch the playback, so he could only rely on negotiation to return the table to 0.3 seconds.

Today's referee report stated that since the game time has not been completed, the referee has no right to initiate a replay according to the rules.

Afterwards, Zhuge Liang said that the Timberwolves' home timekeeper's operation hurt the team, and I will listen to my cousin tell you the story.

First of all, we need to clarify several rules and knowledge points:

1. Members of the NBA's technical station are provided by the home team;

2. When the rules are unclear in the game, the referee has certain "elastic power";

3. When the basketball touches fans or any object on or outside the sideline, the table should be stopped.

4. In the NBA rules, there are 16 reasons for initiating a challenge. One of them is: "When any scene includes the following, the referee has the right to initiate a video review: 1. After a round in any quarter is finished, the game time is completed, and the referee is not sure whether the time is wrong; or 2. In any quarter, the referee believes that the game time has been completed, and the referee is not sure whether the time is wrong."

Five, within 0.3 seconds or less, the goal can only be "clicked in" or "high-altitude and air-received".

We bring the above five contents into yesterday's game -

If the Timberwolves timer directly lets the time go, then the referee can start a video review with the above "four scene 1", and then return the game time to 0.6 seconds according to "three"! In this way, the Timberwolves can shoot through the shooting without forcing an aerial call (the above-mentioned "five"). Such an offensive success rate will definitely improve significantly compared to 0.3 seconds.

But yesterday, the Timberwolves' timekeepers were not accurate enough. First, they did not stop the table at 0.6, and secondly, they did not let the time go, and they did not give the referee a chance to initiate a video review (this is what the referee's report said).

Because there is obviously time left in the show, the referee cannot use "Four Scene 2" to initiate a video review, and can only use "Two" to exercise the referee's "flexible power" and return the table to 0.3 seconds (because the referee cannot see the video, they don't know that they should actually return to 0.6, but they also know that the table is wrong, so they can only discuss returning to a similar 0.3). This 0.3 second limit leads to the Timberwolves being able to perform the empty-handed tactic (the above-mentioned "five").

To sum up, afterwards, the Timberwolves' home timekeeper cheated his team...
