Alexander s 14th penalty kicked off the league s earthquake! The famous criticized the "smashing tactic" to destroy the playoffs

NBA Western Conference Finals G1 staged a magic script! The Thunder defeated the Timberwolves at home with 26 points. Behind the star Alexander scored 31 points, there was a data bubble supported by 14 free throws - 7 free throws in the first quarter > The Timberwolves team, and was slapped in the face by a bizarre fall in the last quarter. This victory was collectively ridiculed by the US media as a "referee's walk show." When #Alexander hit the top spot in the United States, NBA historical point guard Nash tweeted and angrily scolded: "This is a blasphemy against basketball!"

Open the technical statistics, Alexander's dismal efficiency in 10 of 27 shots is absurd contrast with the dazzling data of 14-free throws. Just scored 4 and a half points in the first quarter, he scored 7 free throws through three "air fouls", forcing Edwards to smash the basketball and eat T. During ESPN live broadcast, commentator Doris Burke said sarcastically: "Now I know why he is nicknamed 'free throw wholesaler'?" What's even more heart-wrenching is the famous scene in the third quarter - Alexander suddenly "falls against gravity" when he broke through. After the referee whistle, the playback showed that no one was close to him within two meters. When the Timberwolves successfully challenged, the whole audience booed.

This "free throw feast" completely ignited the anger of the basketball circle. The Lakers' royal media showed the comparison of James' average 5.8 penalty data per game in the Western Conference Finals, with the caption "2023VS2025 referee scale"; the Warriors and the team reporters found Curry's classic battle of 0 free throws and scored 50+, ironic "This is what the MVP should look like." Even the Thunder legend Westbrook couldn't help but like the netizens' spoof video: Alexander won the "Best Actor Award" in a diving suit.

Investigate Alexander's "brain aesthetics" and his average of 8.9 free throws per game in his regular season has ranked third in history guards, second only to Harden and Wade. However, as the playoffs were tightened, his free throws in this round of series rose instead of falling, and he made 16 free throws against the Mavericks G7. The NBA referee report shows that four of its 14 free throws in the Western Conference Finals G1 were controversial, and famous commentator A. Smith criticized: "He made body hair fouls a tactic, and it's time for Xiao Hua to introduce the 'Alexander Rules'!" The Timberwolves locker room was filled with a tragic atmosphere. Edwards was photographed playing angrily after the game: "We lost to the whistle!" Coach Fincher hinted at the league to control the game: "I can't understand the replay after some fouls." In contrast, Thunder coach Dagenut strongly supported his disciples: "Smart players should use the rules." This was slapped by former referee Javi in ​​the face: "Harden thought so in 2016, and the league modified the shooting start-up rules."

This penalty storm may become the turning point of the NBA. As gambling legalization advances, the fairness of the game has been repeatedly questioned, and the data that the G1 ratings of the Western Conference Finals plummeted by 18% compared with last year may sound the alarm. As Barkley yelled in TNT live broadcast: "Fans buy tickets not to watch free throw practice!" When the "clip-up tactic" destroys the viewing quality of the game, Alexander won not the Western Conference Finals trophy, but the trust crisis of the entire league.
