On May 4, Beijing time, the Warriors and the Grizzlies series ushered in the second game, the first game of the two teams played until the last moment to divide the winner, with Thompson's attack and defense, the Warriors won the game, the big score 1-0 lead. In today's competition, from the beginning of the competition, it showed the intensity of the competition, and there was also some gunpowder.
The two teams did not adjust for the starter in this game, and the Warriors still let Payton Jr. start the game.
After the game began, the Grizzlies took the lead in getting into the form, opening with a wave of 8-0 attack, but in the next attack, Peyton Jr. broke through the basket with the ball and prepared to go to the basket, and Brooks behind him hit him directly in the head, causing the former to fall to the ground in pain. The referee then gave Brooks a second-degree malicious foul and was directly expelled from the game. After performing the free throw, Payton Jr. was replaced and returned to the locker room for treatment, where he had his elbows x-rayed. The latest news confirms that Peyton Jr. will not return this game.
Brooks' foul also sparked a heated discussion, in which former NBA player Perkins said directly on social media: "Dillon this is a second-level malicious foul, he should be banned for the third game, he is too much." ”
This action was indeed very unfriendly, hitting Payton directly in the head, causing the latter to lose his balance in the air, and then fell heavily to the ground, causing an elbow injury.
After Payton Jr. returned to the locker room injured, the Warriors suffered another blow, and Green was in a situation. During a snatch, his face was hit in the face by Tillman's elbow and he fell to the ground in pain, but the referee did not blow the penalty. Green then returned to the dressing room, but thankfully it was no big deal, returning quickly and returning to the court in the second quarter.
Just over 3 minutes into the opening, the Warriors' two main players were in a situation, with Payton Jr. already withdrawing early and Green back in the game. For such a situation, head coach Kerr is also very dissatisfied, thinking that this is not tough, this is dirty! When the offender was in trouble, he also shouted at the Grizzlies bench: "He X, let him roll!" ”
Thompson was also very dissatisfied, and also spewed: "What an asshole! ”
On Green's way back to the locker room, he also gave the Grizzlies a middle finger to discontent their shouts.
