At the time, Big Wa of the Grizzlies had a little space beyond the three-point line. He caught the ball and prepared to shoot, and Dauding rushed over to contest him.
Big Wa tried to fake Dauding out, but Dauding pulled up in time. At most, he barely brushed against Big Wa, who then fell backward and tumbled out of bounds.
The referee called a foul on Dauding.
By this year's standards, that clearly didn't meet the threshold for a foul.
But the referee called it anyway.
There were as many as four more incredibly soft calls afterward.
And on top of that, there was a clean block by a Raptors player.
By the rules, it should have been a good block, but the referee called a foul. The Raptors eventually won the challenge and got the call overturned, but they still wasted a timeout.
Then the blogger's voice came through. He spoke in Chinese, but English subtitles appeared below:
"Comparing the clips above, we can see that the fouls called against the Grizzlies were all legitimate. But of the calls against the Raptors, five were incredibly soft fouls. By this year's standards, that was clearly unreasonable."
Next, the footage focused on the fouls Yi had drawn.
Although the clips clearly showed Yi deliberately going for foul calls several times, his opponents had indeed fallen for it and fouled him.
They were the kind of fouls the referees simply had to call.
The video then analyzed the opponents' fouls and technical fouls, ultimately showing that all forty of Yi's free throws were legitimate—none had come from the referees favoring him.
Today's video was also a few minutes longer than the one previously posted online.
Those extra minutes showed calls the referees had missed.
Some were missed calls against the Raptors,
