What would you say in the locker room if you were Grizzlies coach Jenkins, and your player was brought down like this in the game three days ago and lost 116-117?
It's nothing more than "you're scared by them.",
"We played too soft",
"I want you to be as hard as they are, can you do it?"
As a result, Dillon Brooks, who was second only to Adams (who was actually a good man) in terms of fierceness, deeply carried out the leadership intentions.
Less than three minutes into the second game, he ended Peyton Jr., who launched a quick attack.
Later, Payton Jr. never returned to the court, fractured his left elbow, and was reimbursed for the season.
Then less than a minute later, the trigger of the previous game, Dream Green, was elbowed by Tillman, who could be the "mascot" of the Grizzlies, and slowed down in the locker room for a while before returning to the court.
From that moment on, the game was tainted.
As if the Grizzlies had a wrench hidden in their pants pockets, you could see the Warriors' hesitation in confrontation and breakthrough, fearing that they would be the third to return to the locker room.
Without Payton Jr., Morant removed the heaviest shackles, and won a career record of 47 points, 8 boards and 8 assists, whether it was Curry, Poole or Wiggins, they all looked too slow in front of them.
He was like a bolt of lightning, the electric Warrior grinned, and little Payton was a lightning rod that Cole had specially prepared for him.
The Grizzlies also have to win, in today's playoff 2 home-2 away-home-guest-main order, if the first two games of the side with home advantage are all kneeling, then basically can say goodbye to this season in advance.
Only Yao Mai's Houston Rockets were remembered as sparing the Dallas Mavericks and Sir Utah in 2005 and 2007.
The most unfortunate thing is peyton Jr., who was the biggest surprise of the Warriors and even the whole league. Although Taylor Hiro has just won "Best Sixth Man", he has the most beautiful story of the season.
Born in the Golden State, the son of a famous man and a shogun, he finally made a name for himself at the age of nearly thirty after several years in the NBA.
He's a quiet version of the Warriors' "Beverly." His presence can effectively protect Curry and Poole, and he can defend the most dangerous defenders on the opposite side. He was supposed to be a "private order" that Cole gave to Morant in this series.
It's all over, however.
But the Grizzlies also have something to say, if you Green put down our Clark like the first game, you will not allow this tit-for-tat to suffocate your little Payton?
The only difference is that you are not injured.
Using the team's three masters and the second-best scorer in the regular season to exchange a defensive puzzle, if it is planned in advance, it can only be said that there is something wrong with the Grizzlies' brain.
The Spurs also have something to say, now know the pain of losing the home player in the playoffs?
We didn't just lose a defensive player, but a forward arrow and a team core!
We were either miserable at the start, we were scrapped in the lead of 21 points, and finally reversed, and the series was 4-0!
What we lose is not just a season, but an entire future!
Harden and LeBron fans have something to say, how did your Green treat the two Jameses, and now we know how we felt at that time, right?
The Warriors are arguably the most successful team in the last seven or eight years, 2015-2019, five years of five finals, three championships, and this year is the most promising team in the West. The "small ball era" and "death five small" they created have completely changed the course of NBA history.
But the presence of Pachulia and Green will allow the Warriors to carry them out whenever they face something like malicious fouls.
It is commonly known as "paying off debts for history".
Human nature is always selfish and self-serving.
Nowadays, on the Internet, there are always people who lament that the NBA is not as good as before, and the world is getting worse and worse. More than a decade ago, the N-game of fist-to-flesh and bloody from time to time is the real trend, and today's stars will be taught to be human every minute back in the past.
It's just that the team or player you support hasn't experienced a similar beating yet.
We love the peak duel between Yao Sharks, but we don't know that Yao Ming's fingernail caps are stepped on by countless internal opponents and fall off early.
We are nostalgic for the big four quarterbacks, but we don't know that three of them withered early in the rough fouls of their opponents.
We praised the 05 Finals between the Spurs and the Pistons for their defensive battles, but we didn't know that those seven games were sleepy, and it wasn't the die-hards of the two teams who couldn't stick to the end of the game.
You like to stimulate violent matches, just because the object you support has not been hurt by him for the time being.
The Golden State Warriors, as the most successful team in recent years, have also won the Pachulia-Green pair in the process of winning the championship.
Pachulia has long been infamous, but it is only known to most people because of joining the Warriors. Supposedly, his offensive skills and basket efficiency are not worthy of the four-star Warriors, and as for why he has been a starting center for two years, it is nothing more than that he can do those "dirty hands" things.
So Leonard and Young Master Wei had both been his "ghosts under the knife".
In those years, who was the Warriors' biggest competitor in the West?
Green, as the most suitable for the Warriors and Curry's interior line, is also the player in the team's core lineup who needs to bear the most dirty work, but over the years he has been addicted to "walking a tightrope" between ordinary fouls and malicious injuries.
In the 16th western final, the "kicking egg" against Adams,
2018 Finals against LeBron's "interjection",
Last year's playoffs against LeBron's "like a god palm",
And those years of "hacking" of Harden,
Plus the previous "eighteen falls" on Clark,
Fortunately, he chose some "skinny" macho men, and he was not seriously injured by him.
But ask the fans of these teams at the time, no one will be in a better mood than today's Warriors fans.
So the NBA is a piece of history, but also a cycle,
In the 2007 Western Conference semifinals, Spurs' Horry put down nash from the Suns and replaced Him and Dior.
Ten years later, they were "padded" out of the playoffs by the equally rough Pachulia.
Two years later, the Warriors, who profited from injuries, broke Durant and Thompson in the Finals, eventually cheapening the Raptors and leonard, the victim at the time.
Today Green put down Clark in the first game, and Dillon scrapped Payton Jr. in the second.
The Heavenly Dao Cycle, no one can escape.
What's more interesting is that Adams, who was "kicked" by Green, happened to be the main center of the Grizzlies. Grizzlies head coach Jenkins has been on the Spurs coaching staff since 2009-16.
The feud between the Grizzlies (Spurs) and the Warriors is far from over.
