On May 2, Beijing time, although the Warriors won the G1 away from home, the process was not so smooth, and the referee's blowing penalty was obviously biased towards the Grizzlies. Although Green's action of pulling Clark is indeed indecent, from the scale of the previous blowing penalty, this ball is at best a first-level malicious foul, far from being expelled, and Green has made obvious protective actions when Clark landed, not as bad as the previous "kicking the egg" and "pulling the crotch".
In addition, the referee's final controversial out-of-bounds ball did not go through the replay review, and directly blew a scramble ball, which also caused widespread discussion. According to some sources, a suspected replay center staff claimed that when Curry attacked at the last minute, they told the referee that it was actually Dillon's defensive foul, but the referee still insisted on his own blowing penalty, And Cole had no choice but to choose the challenge, but it ended in failure. The two blows against Green and Curry were very bad for the Warriors, and everyone in the replay center reminded the referee, but both were ignored.
The Grizzlies enjoyed the treatment of home whistles, and there was really no way to win the game. According to Grizzlies reporter Kel Wright, the Grizzlies hope to complete this round of the series fairly, and they are very dissatisfied with Green's actions, believing that he is not playing, but fighting, and will formally appeal to the league, demanding that Green be banned, can not let him do whatever he wants on the court, continue to do things that hurt Grizzlies players, they can't stand this.
Once the league verifies and listens to the Grizzlies and decides to ban Green, it will undoubtedly be fatal for the Warriors. This game, they won, but the next game, if Green can't play, who loses and who wins is not easy to say. Green's role is unquestionable, he is the defensive pillar of the Warriors' inner line, because Iguodala is injured and cannot play, so the Warriors' defensive responsibility is all pressed on Green, and the impact of these young players such as the Grizzlies is very strong, and the Warriors' internal line is bound to be ravaged.
Of course, the Grizzlies' schemes may not necessarily succeed, and the Warriors will also put pressure on the league to appeal, after all, in G1, these two blows have been very unfavorable to the Warriors, and if they continue to suffer losses, the balance of victory will definitely tilt to the Grizzlies. The referee's blow to Green this time may be based on the bad impression he left in the past. For the Warriors, it is absolutely impossible to live without Green, who is an important magic weapon for defending Morant, Jarren Jackson, and the right-hand man of the Splash Brothers.
