On May 4, Beijing time, the NBA Western Conference Semifinals Grizzlies played the Warriors at home. At the beginning of the game, there was a very hot scene on the field! Grizzlies guard Dillon Brooks slapped Payton Jr. in the air during a defensive attack, knocking Payton Jr. to the ground. The referee watched back through the video and judged Dillon Brooks a second-degree malicious foul and expelled him directly! Warriors coach Kerr blasted at the Grizzlies bench: Let him XX roll!
Less than three minutes into the game, Dream Green instigated a counterattack, and Payton Jr. quickly received the ball and prepared to make a layup. At this point, Dillon Brooks caught up from behind, and without hesitation, he directly slapped a round slap, hitting Peyton Jr. on the head, preventing the attack. Then Little Payton fell heavily to the ground and covered his left arm, very painful.
From the perspective of slow motion, Dillon's movement is really very undeserved, and it can be said that it is particularly dirty. After the video review, the referee also directly judged Dillon a second-degree malicious foul and expelled him. Dillon Brooks also realized that he was at fault, and then left the court in mourning. For this action, fans have also said that Dillon deserves it, saying that his movements are too dirty, almost like a waste of people.
Payton Jr. then returned to the dressing room for an inspection. But I didn't expect that soon, the Warriors were hit hard again, chasing Green in defense, and was hit in the face by Tillman's elbow. However, the referee did not blow the penalty for this, and chased the dream also felt unwell and returned to the locker room for examination. Less than half a quarter later, the Warriors' two main players have returned to the locker room. Warriors fans laughed at themselves: This game can be won if you can get out of the arena healthily.
The game was indeed more tragic than expected. After the Grizzlies lost their first game, it's understandable that the game wants to bounce back. But to win in this way, it is difficult to convince the public. Between toughness and malice, they need to grasp the scale well.
