In the past All-Star Weekend, Warriors forward Green, although not in the game, was quite busy. He appeared frequently in TNT's studio, giving his opinion on some things in the league, talking about himself being booed by Cavaliers fans, and he responded calmly: I don't understand why they treat me like this, I only won them 3 times; talking about the 76ers and nets trade, he laughed and teased: It doesn't matter to me, because we will only have one Eastern Conference opponent in the end...
When it comes to other issues, Green is always joking and responding cleverly and humorously, but when other commentators compare him to Jazz center Gobert, the Warriors forward begins to be uneasy, and he is very angry: "You always compare him to me, but in fact, we are completely different." ”
Over the past few years, Green and Gobert have been strong contenders for the best defensive players, with the former winning the award once and the latter lifting the DPOY trophy three times. This season, in the competition for this important honor, the two are still at the top.
Then again, although Green and Gobert are both known for their defense, their technical characteristics are still different, the former is fast-moving, excellent defensive ability, can defend multiple positions on the field, the latter is tall and arm-length, more good at guarding the basket, protecting the penalty area.
It is worth mentioning that the relationship between Green and Gobert on and off the court is not harmonious, not only in the game many collisions, spraying garbage words, off the field, but also fighting endlessly. In 2019, after Gobert lost the All-Star election, he cried to the media, and Green immediately sarcastically said: I also lost, should I also cry?
In June last year, Green mocked Gobert during another interview show that "defense is not just as simple as guarding the frame...", and some fans criticized Green for practicing offense under the news, interestingly, shortly after Gobert liked this comment...
Judging from the several meetings on and off the court, between Green and Gobert, the two defensive interiors, there is already a difference in love, tit-for-tat.
