The most striking and shameful for the arbitral trio occurred in a Walter Tavares action that swept a montero launch Before they touched the hoop, so they had to have given the basket of the Dominican base for good.
But incomprehensibly, The arbitration triplet directed by a veteran like Emilio Pérez Pizarro, ignored the claims of the Valencian bench And they did not even deign to review a play that, if reviewed, had all the numbers to end up giving a basket that could be decisive.
A decisive action
But it didn't happen, Madrid recovered on the scoreboard to achieve a draw that gave him life in the extension to end up imposing and adding a 2-0 that seems almost definitive for Madrid to take the league title.

Pedro Martínez's anger expressed him in the press room where he did not bit his tongue. “None of the three arbitrators have been to review it. And, of course, if they don't whistle, you can't check. They are very expert referees, who know when (you can go to review) and when not, “the Catalan criticized about the action of Tavares, referring to the fact that if the referees do not whistle, the technician cannot request a 'challenge',” said Martínez, who acknowledged to leave 'burned' by that decision.
“A real nonsense”
“It has been a nonsense” and that has had “very decisive actions” that cannot “understand”commented the coach, who hopes that ACB will analyze and improve, not next year, but the next game. “
The truth is that the result is immovable in the electronic and now Valencia has to turn to what happened and try to present battle this Wednesday in the Fonteta to reduce the difference in this final that Madrid has very faced.
