On March 17, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued to unfold, and the Warriors played against the Celtics at home. This game is also a lot of attention, both teams have been in excellent form recently, but this time the Warriors are not in very good shape, trailing by 16 points after the first half, and the core of the team, Curry, is also injured. During the game, the Celtics' defensive action of Smart caused controversy and was booed by the home fans.
In the second quarter of the game, the Warriors completed the steal, Curry was ready to get the ball, Smart at this time directly flew to the ball, this action also directly knocked Curry to the ground. From the slow motion, you can see that Smart's body pressed against Curry's ankle, which also made Curry very painful. For this action, it cannot be said that Smart is dirty or anything, but that he is very tenacious and hardworking, and takes every round seriously.
But the next action can be a little bad, that is, this round, after Smart grabbed the ball, Tatum still made a mistake, and then the Warriors directly counterattacked, Green passed the ball to Thompson under the basket, this time Smart was deceived by the fake action, has lost his position, he actually used his legs to defend, directly kicked Klay, and then fell to the ground.
For Smart's 2 consecutive moves, the Warriors home fans were also very dissatisfied and booed him. The referee then checked back and gave Smart a first-degree malicious foul, while Curry returned to the locker room for treatment.
For Smart's action, Warriors head coach Kerr was directly exposed, and when the referee watched the replay, he roared at Smart, and also showed the referee the action of "cutting legs", indicating that Smart fouled and injured people.
Then the Warriors officially gave the news that Curry did not return due to left foot soreness, and Thompson was not a big problem. You know, there is still less than a month to go before the playoffs start, and no team can afford to hurt at this time.
