The Rockets defeated the Mavericks 103-94 despite being unfavorable by the referee, thus advancing to the second round with a big score of 4-1.

Howard responds to referee with victory
The reason for the defeat in the fourth game is obviously not the provocative friction of Chandler, Harris and others, but a certain change in Howard’s mentality. He only hit 3 of 13 free throws, which is a clear defeat.
because.
So in today’s game, Howard must have a better mentality to prepare. In the first quarter, he scored 4 points, 7 rebounds, 1 steal and 1 block on 2 of 3 shots. It looks very good.
But the Mavericks still deliberately provoked Howard. Villanueva failed to catch up once, and he simply pushed Howard out of the court. It was a weird foul.
But the strange thing is still behind. With 2 minutes and 26 seconds left in the second quarter, Nowitzki used his elbow to hold Howard when defending. Howard used both hands to push Nowitzki away. Unexpectedly, Nowitzki retreated.
As a result, the referee again whistled Howard for an offensive foul.
God, this is the third time Howard has been called for an offensive foul in this quarter. I believe that any player would be angry if he were replaced.
Penalty technical foul.
Is it hard to imagine?
Is this difficult to understand?
This referee?
A foul by Harden can also explain the problem of the referee’s penalty in this game. With 1 minute and 05 seconds left in the third quarter, Harden was kicked out by Aminu when he organized an offense, and both of them turned around to chase.
Seeing that the speed was at a disadvantage, Harden rushed to the ground to grab the ball. Of course, his purpose of falling to the ground was to grab the ball, but he still tripped Aminu and staggered in the process.
After reviewing the video of the game, the referee made the decision that the Mavericks got two free throws and one throw. A commentator said: “We don’t talk about the referee’s penalty. We can only say that the referee did not allow the score to be opened.”
But on the whole, the Rockets were not affected by the referees, nor could they be affected by the referees. Howard scored 10 points in the third quarter.
What’s interesting is that in the third quarter, the Mavericks once adopted a slashing tactic against Howard, and the player who implemented the tactic even wanted to make an offensive foul by Howard.
At 9 minutes and 21 seconds into the fourth quarter, Barea counterattacked and stuck to the defender for a layup, but Howard, who was chasing him, jumped up and slapped the ball out.
After landing, Howard waved his right hand to vent his depression and anger, and at the same time cheer for himself and his teammates.
With 41 seconds left in the game, Howard was replaced for a rest. Such a victory is the best response to the referee. Howard’s performance of 18 points, 19 rebounds, 4 steals and 4 blocks is the best for the referee
