On May 4, Beijing time, the NBA playoff semifinals continued to unfold, and the Warriors and the Grizzlies ushered in the second game. In the last game, the Warriors managed to win the game on the road, taking a 1-0 lead. In this game, the two teams played a gunpowder smell as soon as they came up, and the Warriors were continuously damaged.
The two teams did not adjust the lineup in this game, the Warriors are still small lineups, and Payton Jr. still starts. However, at the beginning, the Warriors felt a little sluggish, and were played by the Grizzlies in an 8-0 offensive attack, but then there was an unexpected scene on the court. At 9:08 in the first quarter, Payton was fouled by Dillon Brooks on a layup, a move that hit Peyton Jr. directly in the head, who fell to the ground in pain.
After the referee passed the replay, he gave Dillon a second-degree malicious foul and was directly expelled from the game. The game had only been playing for 2 minutes before the Grizzlies were caught in a passive state, which Brooks himself caused. From the perspective of slow motion, his movements are still very unfriendly, he has lost his defensive position, and he is completely running to people. After the fight, he himself knew that the situation was not good, and immediately came to check on the situation of Little Payton. Because of this foul, Peyton Jr. returned to the dressing room.
The Warriors' side was also in constant trouble, and after Payton Jr. returned to the locker room, Green was in a situation again. In the following attack, Green was elbowed to the face by Tillman and fell to the ground in pain, but the referee did not blow the penalty and then returned to the dressing room for treatment, but soon returned.
In just three minutes, the Warriors lost two consecutive starters, and Both Payton Jr. and Green returned to the locker room for treatment. For this situation, Warriors head coach Kerr was also angry, shouting at the Grizzlies bench: "He X, let him roll!" ”
