733 Only Fouls Could Stop Him from Hitting Threes
The sudden tension left everyone astonished.
Japan was already down by more than sixty points. There was no need to provoke them at this point.
So why had Zhang Ben Tianjie suddenly done that, setting everyone off?
Even the Japanese spectators stopped cursing this time.
Anyone with eyes could see that Zhang Ben Tianjie had lost control first and deliberately knocked Wang Yi out of bounds.
After the referee restored order on the court, he spent a long time reviewing the footage.
In the end, both Zhang Ben Tianjie and Sima Ming were ejected.
Whether either of them would receive an additional one-game suspension remained to be seen.
The referee also handed out technical fouls to six players in total.
Only then did both teams return to center court for a jump ball.

It was obvious that Wang Yi had pinched or punched him.

That guy Wang Yi knew all the little tricks of the NBA inside out.
He looked like he hadn't thrown a single punch, only using his hands to block Zhang Ben Tianjie.
But whenever his hands touched Zhang Ben Tianjie, he would pinch or twist him.
Those pinches hurt like hell.
