On May 2, Beijing time, the Golden State Warriors challenged the Memphis Grizzlies away, and the first half of the game between the two teams had just ended, and Draymond Green was sentenced by the referee to a second-degree malicious foul during a defensive time, and was sent off early.
In the final 1 minute and 18 seconds of the second quarter, the Grizzlies received a golden opportunity to score in the offensive, through successive passing balls from the inside. At this time, Dream Green made a fierce foul under the basket, and when the opponent fell, he added a pulling action, and the referee directly blew the foul.
Through the video review, the referee determined that Dream Green was in danger of causing malicious results to the opponent, so he decided on a second-degree malicious foul and directly expelled him from the scene.
Green played 17 minutes today and scored six points on 2-of-3 shooting, plus four rebounds, three assists and three steals. His downfall is bound to have an impact on the Warriors at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, especially when the team chases the point difference is only 1 point, and Green is expelled, which will disrupt Kerr's substitution adjustment.
