NBA referee Thanos! Paul attracts a new curse? His finger snap can break the Clippers dream of winning the Clippers

Paul joins the Clippers. In the hearts of many people, it seems that the new season finale is coming. The Clippers' lineup is too luxurious, so luxurious that they can't imagine how they might fail. The arrival of the old cannon seems to fill the last piece of the team's puzzle, but it may also bring about the curse that everyone has lost for a long time. If the Clippers really go all the way to the highest stage, can they bypass Scott Foster, a name that makes countless people grit their teeth and complete the final championship?

Foster is one of the most senior referees in the league today, and he is almost certainly going to be on the top stage in the NBA. The grudge between Paul and Foster has been going on for many years. In the playoffs where Foster called out Paul, the latter won 3 wins and 17 losses, and even had a thriving record of 13 consecutive losses.

The three most famous games were the tiebreak match between the Hornets and the Spurs in 2008. The G7 of the 2018 Western Conference Finals (at that time, the Rockets had a combination of artillery), was also played by Foster. After the Suns led 2-0 in the 2021 Finals, Foster began to take the whistle, and the Suns lost three consecutive games. These games were extremely heavy blows to Paul every time. It is precisely because of this that Paul scolded Foster almost madly.

Harden also couldn't stand Foster. In the Rockets' last four playoffs, Foster blew Harden's 6 games, and Deng Ge lost all of them.

Foster is a very famous field control machine. His operation also included the 2011 Western Conference Final G2. At that time, Foster asked for replays five times in the 90-second game, and it took half an hour to delay for one and a half minutes. At any time, this situation is very strange. Yes, Paul was there in that game, and the Suns were behind the Lakers 18-30 in free throws and eventually lost the game. That game was Paul's 11-game losing streak under Foster's call.

does not deny that Paul is indeed excellent, but the world is just a strait team, and the NBA's struggle is also full of controversy. Judging from everyone's doubts about Xiao Hua's field control in recent years, the referee is the most direct execution link in the field control. It is precisely because of this that when Donaghy was sentenced to the black whistle, the referee who contacted him the most was Foster, but even so, Foster was still safe and sound, which shows that he is more likely to be Xiao Hua's personal blame target.

Interestingly, Paul is the chairman of the Players' Union. In other words, he is the main figure who represents the player to negotiate with the league. Can such an old man who purely represents the interests of the players really win the championship?

The Clippers are really strong now, with Harden, Bill, Ka Jr., Collins and Zubac, and Paul, Bogdanovic, Derek Jones, Batum and Lopez the Big. But both Paul, Harden, or the Clippers themselves and Foster have a long-standing holiday.

Paul's joining seems to make up for the team's shortcomings in the substitute point guard. Does it mean that he brought his exclusive curse back to Los Angeles?

In the NBA arena, I am not afraid of opponents like Jordan, but most afraid of Thanos-level referees like Foster. They can defeat the Clippers' dream of winning with just one snap of their fingers.
