This was indeed a very fair fifty-fifty ruling.
After all...
Qin Yue did just trip O'Neal.
But O'Neal charged at Qin Yue provocatively, which according to the rules, should also be penalized with a technical foul.
Of course, maybe at this moment O'Neal wished Crawford would give him another technical foul.
Because he couldn't win the argument, nor the fight...
Do you know how aggrieved, how upset O'Neal was, and how much he wanted to dig a hole and bury himself?
On the Heat's bench, eyes turned to his beloved disciple Eric Spoelstra, the ever-energetic Riley asked with a voice tinged with despair: "If Shaq can't be our second scoring option in this finals... how do you think we should adjust?"
Upon hearing this, Spoelstra smiled wryly and said: "Then we can only pray 'D-Wade' can score 40 points per game for us like Michael Jordan back in the day."
In fact, before turning to his disciple, Riley had already made a decision in his heart.
