On May 2, Beijing time, the Warriors won the first win in the series with the Grizzlies and seized home advantage. However, the referee's decision in this battle has caused great controversy, especially the one that expelled Green, which has been wildly questioned. After the game, Green also responded to the decision.
In the final moments of the half, Green was banished for pulling Clark, who had jumped to the basket, and suffered a second-degree malicious foul. After the game, the referee explained the penalty, giving two major reasons for expelling Green: First, Green's pull on Clark's body, as well as the face punch, was unnecessary and excessive. Second, the dream chaser pulled it to the ground, and the player jumped up and was easily injured. ”
For this sentence, Green began broadcasting immediately after the game, and he responded, "Actually, I naively thought it wouldn't even be a first-degree malicious foul." If you want to talk about or call anyone an idiot, then all you have to do is look at Draymond Green himself. "Self-deprecating yourself as an idiot is actually a satire on the referee."
In this game, Green only played 17 minutes in the end, scoring 6 points, 4 boards, 3 assists and 3 steals on 2-of-3 shooting, but also made 5 mistakes. Fortunately, the Warriors played beautiful team basketball, Poole's offense, Curry and Thompson's defense in the last minute, and Thompson's big heart three-pointer, helping the team laugh to the end.
It is worth mentioning that after the game, another protagonist Clark also responded to Green's second-degree malicious foul, saying, "He (Green) doesn't shock people, that's what he's done before." In response, Green forwarded this comment, accompanied by 9 laughing and crying expressions, which made people feel the smell of gunpowder.
