The referee was clearly full of contempt for Wang Yi.
In his eyes, no matter how strong Wang Yi was, he still had to put up with the way he called the game.
This wasn't a professional league. He was just filling in, so what if he rigged the calls?
The rules couldn't touch him anyway.
Besides, this was Japan's home court. Rigging the calls against Wang Yi would only earn him the support of the fans around him.
It would only make him more popular.
So he kept making biased calls, continually favoring the Yoyogi Team.
Whenever there was physical contact between the two sides, the Hou Yi Team was sure to be called for a foul.
But when the Hou Yi Team was on offense, physical contact didn't draw a single whistle.
He took biased officiating to the extreme.
Of course, he wasn't too brazen about it.
To the players on the court, the referee's biased calls were glaringly obvious.
But from an outsider's perspective, though he made the occasional bad call, there weren't that many.
Usually, he only called fouls against Wang Yi and his teammates when there was physical contact.
Even so, the biased calls were making things very difficult for the Hou Yi Team.
By the end, Wang Yi and Shen Yanchao could barely make any physical contact with their opponents.
When the other team took a shot, Wang Yi and Shen Yanchao could do no more than try to bother them.
But when Wang Yi took a shot, his opponents made solid physical contact with him.
Even so, if the contact was too rough, the referee would sometimes call an offensive foul on Wang Yi or Shen Yanchao.
And it wasn't enough for the referee to make biased calls. He kept provoking Wang Yi
