The NBA playoffs continued, with the first game of the Western Conference Semifinals, with the Warriors taking on the Grizzlies on the road. At the end of the second quarter, there was a sudden accident on the court, the Warriors were hit, and Draymond Green ate a Level 2 foul and was directly expelled. The slow-motion replay found that his movements were really unnecessary, or too uncool.
The Warriors played easier in the first round, and under the leadership of Curry, Klay Thompson and Jordan Poole, it didn't take much effort to get past the Nuggets. The young grizzly bears, however, encountered challenges, and although they finally advanced to the timber wolves, the process was very difficult and tortuous, but this experience may also be a kind of wealth, which has greatly helped them grow and transform.
In this battle, the Warriors were at a disadvantage in the first half, mainly because there were too many fouls by several important players, which caused great trouble to the whole team. And the Grizzlies sat on the home court advantage, played a stormy game, two quarters bombed 61 points, very fierce, dead to suppress the Warriors. And in this situation, the Warriors also suffered an additional blow, that is, the team's "brain" Draymond Green was expelled.
To see what happened, Brandon Clark jumped up to the basket after receiving the ball from the basket, and it was Green who was in charge of keeping an eye on him. Clark had already jumped first, and Green did not have the advantage, and pulled the opponent's jersey in a hurry, causing Clark to lose his center of gravity in the air and fall to the ground. However, Green immediately realized that his actions were wrong and immediately protected the other party.
Despite this, the referee showed no mercy to him, and after watching the video replay, he blew a foul on Green's level 2 malicious foul and directly expelled him. Trailing on the road and encountering important players with losses, the Warriors were extremely depressed.
