To say the officiating was a topic of discussion during Game 1 of the Western Conference semifinals series between the Golden State Warriors and Houston Rockets on Sunday would be an epic understatement.
在周日西部半决赛第一场金州勇士队和休斯顿火箭队的比赛里，本场的判罚不仅仅只是一个可以被讨论到的话题，而是引起了巨大的争论。
The two teams were called for a combined 45 personal fouls and four technical fouls, and Chris Paul was ejected with 4.4 seconds left in the game.
两队一共被吹了45次个人犯规和4次技术犯规，保罗还在比赛还剩4.4秒时被驱逐出场。
That continued a trend this postseason of things getting testy between players, coaches and officials.
这延续了季后赛球员、教练和裁判之间紧张不安的情绪。
The Rockets are arguing that they should have gotten more foul calls based on the way the Warriors defenders were crowding their “landing area” when they came down from their shots.
火箭队认为，他们应该得到更多的犯规判罚，因为勇士队的防守球员总会停留在他们投篮后将要落地的区域。
Slo-mo videos show that yes, there were times when the Warriors did not give Rockets players, especially Harden and Paul, space to land.
慢动作录像显示有时候勇士队确实没有给火箭球员，特别是哈登和保罗，落地空间。
"I just want a fair chance, man," Harden told reporters. "Just call the game the way it's supposed to be called and we'll live with the results."
“我只是想要一个公平的比赛，伙计，”哈登告诉记者。“如果比赛该怎么吹怎么吹，我们会接受这个结果的。”
The players on the court weren't the only ones complaining. Multiple players chimed in on Twitter with both specific and general observations.
场上球员并不是唯一的抱怨者。许多球员在推特上也发表了自己有针对性或大体上的看法。

My guys were not allowed to contest shots like that last week...or maybe i'm crazy and it's just camera angles. — Rudy Gobert (@rudygobert27) April 28, 2019
上周裁判可不允许我们在比赛中这样防守投篮...或者可能是我疯了，只是摄像角度的问题。——戈贝尔
Damn you could've just give me the 25,000. — Donovan Mitchell (@spidadmitchell)
你不如把那该死的两万五直接给我！——米切尔
Not surprisingly, Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban chimed in.
不出意料，达拉斯独行侠队老板马克库班也发表了自己的意见。
The defender has every right to the space. Offensive players are smart enough to take advantage of this.
防守方有使用空间的一切权利。如果进攻球员足够聪明，他们可以利用这一点。
It's not on the refs. It's league stupidity.
不是裁判的问题。是联盟做的蠢事。
2 minute report is going to be very interesting tomorrow. Will tell you so much about the management of the nba officiating group. — Mark Cuban (@mcuban)
明天的最后两分钟裁判报告会非常有趣。会告诉你很多关于NBA裁判群体的管理问题。——马克·库班
As for how the Rockets and Warriors should deal with the officiating in Game 2 and the rest of the series, retired center Kendrick Perkins had one idea for what they should focus on going forward.
至于火箭和勇士应该如何处理第二场比赛和剩下的比赛，已经退役的中锋肯德里克·帕金斯对他们接下来应该关注什么提出了自己的意见。
Everybody was so busy worried about getting fouls called, forgot about trying to win the game!!! — Kendrick Perkins (@KendrickPerkins)
大家都在忙于怎么赢得裁判的哨声，而不是想着如何赢下比赛。——肯德里克·帕金斯
