Live broadcast, February 8th, a James Friend who requested anonymity was interviewed by TA reporter Joe Vardon today.
This friend revealed that James’s career only felt cheated by the referee twice after the match. He had played against Celtics (the beater was missed) and the 18-year finals G1.
In the 18th finals G1, George Hill missed the free throw at the end of the fourth quarter. JR did not choose to make up the basket but took the ball out of the downtown without suspending and missing the chance to kill.
Just before all this happened, when the knight was two points ahead with 30 seconds left in the game, James thought it had caused Durant’s offensive foul, but the referee changed the penalty to blocking foul, durant finally dragged the match into overtime after two penalties, and the Knight lost the match.
The friend said that after the match on the spot, James hit the wall with fists and anger in the visiting locker room, resulting in a fracture in his hand.
