Throw the ball at the referee to react, the NBA star is disqualified
Sunday morning (March 26), the Atlanta Hawks won 143-130 against the Indiana Pacers to improve their overall record to 37-37.
This result helps the Atlanta team continue to build a solid 8th place, relatively safe in the Eastern play-in group. However, this victory has a small ripple, which is the bad action of Trae Young, the number 1 star of the Atlanta Hawks Club.
In the middle of the third half of the match, Trae Young was penalized by the referee for an attack with a 3-point throw from a long distance. It looked like Young was the one to blame when he fell on the ground, but in the throw, Trae had the action of kicking his foot forward.
According to the new rules recently updated by the NBA, this foot kick is both a deliberate "error" action and can be dangerous for the defender, so the throwers when doing this move will be blown. attack error (instead of being ignored as before).
Do not agree with the decision to blow the penalty, Trae Young suddenly reacted to the referees. He appeared calm but passed a very powerful ball towards the match administrators.
The video does not show the final image, but reporters at the field said the ball hit a referee. After that, it was this person who made the decision to immediately disqualify Trae Young.
“It was an act that he was not allowed to do. I told Trae and he understood it," head coach Quin Snyder said of Trae Young's ball.
“When playing, players can feel frustrated for many reasons but as a professional player, you need to be restrained. Not to mention that his disqualification will affect the team. Everyone knows how good Trae Young is and we need him on the pitch."
In 21 minutes of play, Trae Young scored 14 points and 5 assists, a far lower set of stats than this season's average of 26.6 points, 10.0 assists and 3.1 rebounds.
Fortunately, despite the team's number 1 star being sent off at the time of the tense match (the score was a draw), the Atlanta Hawks broke through thanks to the brilliance of John Collins and Dejounte Murray. They created a 10 point difference at the end of the 3rd half and then maintained it until the end of the game to win.
With the disqualification in this match, Trae Young has reached 15 technical errors since the beginning of the season. If he receives another technical foul, he will be suspended for 1 game according to NBA regulations.
NBA Regular Season 2022-23 has seen 2 suspended players commit all 16 technical errors, Draymond Green and Dillon Brooks. Brooks alone received his second suspension after his 18th technical foul not long ago.
