Drive? Shoot? Crossover? Fake?
In the midst of multiple options, Wade instinctively chose to shoot, and just as he leaned forward, a voice popped up in his head, "Damn!"
Fei blew past his defender along the baseline, charging under the basket like a soaring dragon and slamming the ball over Alonzo Mourning with one hand.
"Don't tell me that wasn't a foul!"
Fei raised his arm, now bright red from Mourning's slap.
But the referee's reaction was slow, and he didn't blow the whistle. Karl immediately put pressure from the sidelines.
The unwritten rule of basketball is that if the referee misses an obvious foul, they will compensate the disadvantaged team shortly after.
The referee didn't make Fei wait long.
In the next possession, Antoine Walker was inexplicably called for an offensive foul.
Miami Heat turned over the ball.
Riley was furious. Playing fair is one thing, but this was going too far. They were the ones behind. Why couldn't they get some home court advantage?
