The referee could not bear such obvious provocation and believed that the Spurs were expressing strong dissatisfaction to them and expressed unyielding resistance. This was a practice that despises the referee's authority very much. Players or teams who dared to challenge the referee should all be punished by discipline.

So they responded quickly because Stephen did not be careful because he had five fouls and did not dare to do any moves. Instead, he continued to perform his tough style on both offense and defense. He was soon caught by the referee and a very normal offense at the basket, and was judged as an offensive foul by the referee.

Is it possible that the place between the square meters under the basket does not have physical contact with the defense? If you are judged to be fouled after a touch, then everyone will shoot outside. Of course, Stephen almost flew out by hitting Antoine Walker, which is also one of the reasons.

But this is a reasonable collision area. If you don't let someone hit you, why do you set up this reasonable collision area? As soon as the referee's gesture of rushing people out, Stephen walked off the court, took the towels and training suits handed over his staff, put them on his shoulders, and walked towards the aisle.

For Heat fans, Stephen can be said to be their biggest concern, even more terrifying than Duncan. He can defend Wade in defense and score 46 points in offense. The players who are trying to be sent off at the beginning of the second half. Why don’t the Heat’s home audience be happy? They gathered on both sides of the passage and booed and cheered at Stephen.

Stephen did not respond to such a farewell ceremony. Of course, Stephen did not have any depressed expressions, nor was he depressed and depressed. Just as he walked easily, his attitude made the Heat home fans unable to calm down. They shouted to Stephen: "Boy with yellow skin, go back and rest." "Go to the locker room to calm down." "If you have the ability, go again."

Of course, they will not scold Stephen in a very insulting language. Provocation must have a standard. If it provokes too much, it will be punished by law. Besides, the fans of the Heat are all white-collar workers from large companies. They will not scold Stephen like Detroit's auto workers, and stimulate players without any grace. At most, they will only be fond of cheap words.

Stephen didn't have to respond to such a move. The staff who followed him were very nervous and hurriedly stood behind him, afraid that if he had any intense movements, he also hoped that Stephen would speed up his feet, but Stephen was still walking slowly.

All of this was recorded by the camera next to it, and it spread to all over the world through the broadcast signal. Many fans saw this and admired Stephen's attitude very much. However, some fans who responded more fiercely turned off the TV. According to statistics, Stephen's fate caused a rating to drop by 1:20 percentage points.

You should know that under normal circumstances, the ratings of the finals are gradually rising. Many people who did not notice or had time to pay attention to them at the beginning. By the second half, they basically came to the front of the TV, but now they have not risen, but have declined, which is really not a good signal.

The statistics were quickly fed back to the information processing center of the league, and of course they also came to the eyes of President David Stern. Seeing the ratings decline, David Stern also felt very bad. Due to physical reasons, he did not pay attention to the game. Seeing the ratings decline, he hurriedly called the staff over and asked, and only then did he know what was going on. He couldn't help but feel very annoyed and wanted to scold the disobedient referees.

Everyone knows the principle of home-oriented, and the approach of being slightly biased towards the Heat was also instructed by him to hint to the referee committee. After all, if he doesn't like who wins this championship in the league, it's the Spurs and the Pistons. The dull style of the Spurs does not attract fans other than San Antonio, and the players do not have the star temperament. They only play according to tactics and have no passion.

For the league, TV broadcast revenue is the big part of profit. Compared with the sales of other authorized goods, it is still incomparable to TV broadcast revenues of billions of dollars. Playing styles like the Spurs and the Pistons are the biggest enemy of ratings, but the Spurs and the Pistons have very good results.

Originally, he thought that the finals of this season would definitely be between the Pistons and the Spurs, so he instructed the referee committee to secretly take care of the opponents of these two teams. Who knew that the Pistons were killed by the Heat, but the Spurs broke through the encirclement and interception of the Mavericks and the Heat and entered the finals.

The alliance is the funder of the referee committee. Although the referee committee claims to be worthy of its professional ethics and supremacy, it is impossible to say that it is not affected by the alliance. The alliance can only affect the referee committee and cannot instruct the referee committee.

However, this season, the Spurs' games were a little better than before, and there were also potential new stars like Stephen, who had a hot and passionate style of playing, which brought improvements to the Spurs' ratings and greatly increased the number of broadcasts of the Spurs. This made David Stern feel a little comforted. You should know that the 2005 finals compared with the 2004 finals, the league made $21.5 billion less.

It is because of the abominable Spurs. Of course, the most appealing "Four Heavenly Kings" among the Lakers in 2004 is that if the Spurs are replaced with other teams, it is impossible to compare with the "Four Heavenly Kings" Lakers, but Stern just hates the Spurs.

I hate this stable Spurs, but it is worth comforting that Stephen's appearance alleviates this problem. The background of the rise is very legendary, the style of play is attractive, powerful, and star-like. The mixed-race background is easy to be accepted by the international community. This final has added several African customers as an example. Although it is not a broadcast or not, although it doesn't cost much money, the promotion of basketball is originally a persistent cause. Take it slowly and will sooner or later be promoted to that extremely desolate continent.

Since Jordan, David Stern has decided that the glory of the league must not be tied to one person as before, otherwise he will retire and not be allowed to live. The league should develop in a diversified manner and should promote multiple top star players with market appeal to achieve a full bloom.

Although there has not been a specific plan yet, David Stern has proposed to take Stephen as the focus of publicity. Of course, what David Stern most hopes is that Stephen can escape a team like the Spurs and go to a big city. For example, Chicago now lacks a star, but this is not his leader.

But the referee asked such a player to play only half of the game, and then rudely drove him off the court, and then the ratings dropped. There was no obvious signal. If there was no Stephen, whoever watched the Spurs' game was the Heat, if there were no Wade, there would be few people watching it. They were all of them.

But he has already rushed down. Even if he comes forward, he will not be able to let the referee change his mind and invite Stephen to the court. This is not a game, it is a farce, so even if he is dissatisfied, he has to endure it and communicate with the referee committee after the game is over.

After Stephen was out, **Vic replaced Brent Barry. The Spurs were not restrained because of this, but instead attacked more unrestrainedly. In the bench lineup, the Spurs relied on their strength to be better than the Heat. Although they did not expand their lead, they firmly grasped the initiative and controlled the rhythm in their own hands.

Looking at this situation, both the Spurs players and fans have a feeling that it seems that without Stephen, we may still win this victory. Perhaps the referee is targeting Stephen alone. Once he ends up, the referee will return to a fair position.

Only **Vic felt that it was not so easy. Wade was not on the court now, and other Heat players had few breakthroughs. It was impossible to tell whether the referee was only targeting Stephen. Moreover, the referee sent Stephen out of the court. What's more important is the reason why Stephen remained on the court. If he replaced Stephen in the third quarter, the referee would not come up and chase him down.

When the strength of the two teams is very different, the referee does not need to be biased towards one side in a game. It is enough to just be biased at critical moments. For example, when the opponent is about to catch up, **Vic did not lose his vigilance because of temporary calm.

However, it is always a good thing to take the lead in the score. If the Spurs can lead 30 in the first three quarters, then no matter how the referee prefers, the Spurs may win the game. After all, this is the finals and is broadcast globally, and the referees cannot do too unruly.

With the efforts of **Vic, the Spurs have always been a relatively powerful force in the league. Whether in the management or the coaching level, many teams have taken important positions in the Spurs. This force is of no use yet, but in a few years, **Vic believes that when the league changes its rules, the interests of the Spurs cannot be ignored.

In the fourth quarter, when all the main players of the Heat returned to the court, they immediately launched a frenzy offensive. The Spurs' defense line seemed to be in danger, but they were never overwhelmed. Especially Duncan, like a decisive needle, firmly grasped the situation of the game, both in offense and defense, and in just three minutes, everyone witnessed the style of the best power forward in a century.

But at this time the referee's appearance became the last straw to defeat the Spurs' defense line. After first turning a blind eye to the Heat's very obvious foul against Duncan, Tony Parker's breakthrough was judged as an offensive foul. When Ginobili completed the steal from Wade, the referee blew him up without waiting for him to launch a fast attack. **Vic knew that his worries had finally become a reality, so he simply sat there and did nothing.
