NEW YORK – The NBA announced today that Commissioner Adam Silver has denied t
he Houston Rockets protest of their 135-133 loss to the San Antonio Spurs on D
ec. 3, 2019, following receipt by the league office of submissions from both t
eams and the completion of its investigation.
In the protest, the Rockets argued that the officials misapplied the playing r
ules by failing to grant a Coach’s Challenge in connection with James Harden
’s fourth quarter dunk, and that this error had a clear impact on the outcome
of the game by depriving the team of two points. While agreeing that the ref
erees misapplied the rules, Commissioner Silver determined that the Rockets ha
d sufficient time to overcome the error during the remainder of the fourth qua
rter and two subsequent overtime periods and thus the extraordinary remedy of
granting a game protest was not warranted.
In addition, the league announced today that it has disciplined all three refe
rees from the game for misapplying the Coach’s Challenge rule.
With 7:50 remaining in the fourth quarter and the score 102-89 in favor of Hou
ston, Harden stole the ball and converted an uncontested dunk. The ball was d
unked with such force that, as it cleared the net, the ball was propelled arou
nd the basket and upward, creating an initial appearance that it was not a suc
cessful field goal. Houston then called a timeout, and the officiating crew c
onferenced to discuss the play.
After deliberation, the crew informed the Houston coaching staff that a basket
interference violation had been called on Harden, and Houston asked for a Coa
ch’s Challenge. This request was denied by the officials because more than 3
0 seconds had elapsed from the start of the timeout. But the 30-second time l
imit for Coach’s Challenges only applies when the challenge arises during a m
andatory timeout or a timeout called by the opposing team. Because Houston ca
lled the timeout in this case, it was entitled to challenge the basket interfe
rence call upon being informed of it by the game officials.
If the Coach’s Challenge requested by Houston had been properly granted, inst
ant replay would have shown that Harden’s dunk was a successful field goal.
As a follow-up to the NBA’s investigation of this matter, the NBA will work w
ith the Competition Committee to develop additional procedures to help prevent
the situation with Harden’s made basket from occurring again.
翻譯大概如下
Adam Silver否決了火箭輸給馬刺的抗議。
火箭隊抗議說，官方錯誤地運用了教練挑戰賽的比賽規則，並且對比賽的結果產生了明顯
影響。
Adam Silver表示在裁判誤用規則的同時，火箭隊在第四節的剩餘時間和隨後的兩個OT期
間有足夠的時間來彌補錯誤，因此，沒有理由給予比賽抗議的特殊補救措施。
此外，聯盟今天宣布，由於誤用了教練的挑戰規則，已對比賽中的所有三名裁判進行了處
分
第四節還剩下7:50，哈登灌籃後被判定沒進，火箭叫暫停，裁判組開完會後，哈登被判違
反
籃筐干擾規定，所以一樣不算分，火箭要求教練進行挑戰，裁判拒絕了此請求，因為自暫
停開始以來已超過30秒，但是，教練挑戰的30秒時限僅適用於在裁判的強制暫停或對方團
隊要求的暫停開始時。 由於休斯頓在這種情況下喊出了暫停，因此有權在裁判組判定為
籃筐干擾後對其進行質疑。
如果休斯頓要求的教練挑戰被允許，那麼即時重播就可以發現哈登的灌籃是成功的。
官方將會對這一問題再做後續措施，以防止同樣事情再次發生。
意思就是阿銀"覺得"你火箭教練團自己在比賽結束前的剩餘時間都沒再反應或處理這件事
，事後再跟我吵說裁判搞錯了這個制度然後要求重賽，你火箭根本是在馬後炮
嗯...死鴨子嘴硬
(結論看了一下改這樣才對，一開始我也誤解了)
