There is no way Japan's last shot in regulation beat the clock. Should've been Germany's victory.
You could not have asked for a longer, or more considered OFFICIAL REVIEW. IMO
they were looking for the right camera view to see the shot and the clock. The one
that the officials displayed on HUGH overhead screen was seen by EVERYONE; after that
display the JAPANESE player showed HER pleasure when she saw the shot from the side
camera. NO COMPLAINTS FROM THE GERMANS who saw the same BIG SCREEN
REVIEW!! But I must admit ,when I saw the final shot of #27 SONE, from the camera
facing the basket ( a high view , TV view ), it looked too late. JAPAN was fortunate
that the officials TOOK THEIR TIME to get the right view , and make the RIGHT CALL, IMHO!
Proof of the pudding.... Japan took it to the USA in the FINAL and at 19 - 19 Japan could
have won ! That my friend was a "THRILLER". GREAT STUFF!
