In the second round of the playoffs in the early hours of this morning, the Warriors narrowly beat the Grizzlies 117-116 on the road to lead 1-0 on aggregate.
The dramatic second round of G1, worthy of the 3:30 a.m. bitterness.
Green's expulsion, Poole's bench kill, Thompson's key three-pointers and two free throws, Morant's same killing moves made twice, took the Timberwolves, but failed to win the Warriors as well, Jalen Jackson Jr. took Curry's shooting bag, god accurate, unfortunate defeat.
This is G1 is so wonderful, this game, who can stand it?
Let's talk about Green's expulsion first, at the end of the second quarter, under the basket, Clark burst into the basket, and Green split his head and covered his face to put it down.
This action first hit Clark in the face, then pulled clark's clothes corner, successfully destroying Clark's layup, and there was a protective action when Clark was about to land.
The referee didn't even think about it, directly blew the penalty for the second-degree malicious foul, and expelled Green,
After the match, the referee also explained the penalty, saying that the physical contact was considered unnecessary and excessive as a whole, and the penalty for second-degree malicious fouls and expulsion would be made.
After all, Green's expulsion is already an established fact, some people think it should be punished, and some people think that it should not be punished so heavily.
And the trickster wants to look at this problem from another perspective.
Especially From Green's point of view, this ball, he is not just defending or committing a foul, he is telling the Grizzlies: I remember, if you want to play inside the Warriors, you are ready to hard-connect such a confrontation.
This practice is very likely to have a psychological deterrent effect on the Grizzlies, and the next time Clark or other Grizzlies players hit the Warriors inside, they will subconsciously feel afraid - Green will not wait for me anywhere, right?
In this case, the state will inevitably have an impact, which is also what many people often say, if you lose a foul, be fierce, let the other party be afraid of you.
Green's style of play, fans are willing to say that he is tough or dirty, and the reality in front of him now is that if the Grizzlies want to qualify, they must break through their defense.
The first round of playing the Timberwolves, three times staged a big reversal in the final quarter, to put it bluntly, they are the tougher side, and thus advanced, and now, meet a tougher and fiercer opponent, which is the real playoff test.
Green left the field with five fouls, and I was surprised to see that the Warriors had actually become more fluid.
Pu Gongzi sometimes holds the ball to kill the inside line, sometimes shoots three points from the top of the outside line, and throws 31 points, 8 rebounds and 9 assists, which can be called the number one hero of winning the ball.
I don't know if you found it, the warrior's number one hero, always in the substitute.
Another substitute, Peyton Jr., played equally brilliantly.
The last round of playing the Nuggets, due to the Nuggets' outside line is too dish, resulting in the outside defensive gate has almost no appearance scene, the second round of the Grizzlies, brothers can look forward to it, Payton's defensive performance.
Atang iron a whole game, I thought he was swinging, did not expect that people are accumulating strength, at the critical moment to throw a fatal blow, to help the Warriors rebound.
The only surprise was that at the last moment, Ah Tang chose the most bullet screen playing method, two penalties for all iron;
The referee chose to take the initiative to find a scolding method of blowing - blowing out of bounds into a jumping ball.
Because of this ball penalty, the game between the Warriors and the Grizzlies directly rushed to the top of the hot search list in the United States.
Given the opportunity to give the Grizzlies, Morant held the ball to kill the inside line, trying to complete the kill with a breakthrough.
This ball Morant's position, the choice of shots, is exactly the same as the last goal of the first round of the Battle of Tennoyama, when Hanako's gambling steal was cleaned by Morant, followed by a pull-bar kill.
Unfortunately, the Warriors are not Timberwolves, and after Payton Jr. fell half a position behind, Atang staged a double ghost shooting attack halfway through.
In the end, Morant failed to kill, and the Grizzlies regretted defeat.
Again, the Warriors are not Timberwolves, they don't have so many small mistakes, they don't have so many mistakes, and if you want to win in front of such a team with rich playoff experience, you have to come up with a tougher attitude and more disciplined adjustments.
The series has just begun, and everything has to be remedied.
