The NBA playoffs continue, and in game 2 of the Western Conference semifinals, the Grizzlies continue to play against the Warriors at home. Less than 3 minutes after the opening, there was a sudden accident on the court, the core player of the Grizzlies, Dillon Brooks, received a second-level malicious foul and was expelled from the court, after watching the replay, he can only say that he is not wronged at all.
After experiencing G1, both sides will definitely increase the intensity of physical confrontation and try to make the opponent feel the pressure. Especially the Grizzlies, they are the one who opened the door at home, if both home games are lost, then this round of the series is basically accountable. This urgent mood can be understood, for fear of being overexcited, failing to kill the opponent, and injuring himself first.
After playing about 3 minutes in the opening game, the Grizzlies paid the price for being too excited. At that time, the Warriors Gary Payton Jr. rushed to the basket, first by Ja Morantra, in fact, that moment was fouled, followed by Brooks more ruthless. When Payton Jr. tried to dunk, Brooks blocked from behind and failed to hit the ball, but instead hit Payton Jr. the head.
The most important thing is that When Peyton landed, he completely lost his center of gravity, and his left arm was propped up on the ground, a bit of a counter-joint, which could lead to injury. Little Payton screamed in pain on the ground, but he was a tough guy who didn't take long to get up and carry out the free throws.
How will the referee decide? In the end, after watching the video replay, he directly gave a second-degree malicious foul and expelled Brooks. In fact, this result can be predicted, after all, there is G1 Draymond Green's foul expulsion of Clark, this time it is impossible to use double standards, and it must also be expelled, so that both sides and the outside world have nothing to say.
