On May 6, Beijing time, the NBA officially announced two major fines, and the Grizzlies and Warriors each played fifty boards. On the Grizzlies side, Dillon will be suspended in addition and will miss the Western Conference Semifinals G3 because Dillon made excessive contact when defending Payton Jr. For the Warriors' side, Dream Green was fined $25,000 for giving the middle finger to the Grizzlies home fans in the Western Conference Semifinals G2.
In fact, Dillon's ban is not unexpected. Warriors coach Kerr spoke specifically about Dillon's fouls in an interview with the media. Kerr said that this kind of action should not appear in the NBA, even in the field court in his own backyard, he cannot use this defensive action. Now, Payton Jr. has been diagnosed with a fractured left elbow, missing at least 2 weeks and completely missing the remaining games in the Western Conference semifinals. The NBA's additional ban on Dillon is also a reminder to the Grizzlies and Warriors, hoping that the next confrontation between the two sides can be reasonable.
Dream Green is even more interesting, in the Western Conference semifinals G2, dream chasing is actually a loss. After all, his right eye was elbowed and he had to return to the locker room for stitch treatment, and after returning to the field, Dream's right eye was still swollen into a large bag.
However, when Dream returned to the locker room, he gave the middle finger to the Grizzlies home fans. Chasing Dream himself explained why: "I was both bleeding from my elbow and booed by the fans, I knew that the vertical middle finger might be fined, but I didn't care, I made $25 million this year!" ”
Now, Dream Green has become a slur, and the NBA has officially announced that Dream Green has been fined $25,000. I have to say that NBA stars really need to control their emotions, especially in the interaction with fans, do not argue with fans or do indecent actions. The fans who can go to the scene to watch the game are very important to the NBA officials, after all, they belong to the parents of the NBA League.
Currently, the Grizzlies and Warriors have one player each been sent off, and the two series are 1-1. It is not difficult to foresee that the two sides of the series G3 will be a vicious battle. For the Warriors, returning to the home game naturally has more confidence. However, given the intensity of the first two games, the Warriors need to be more prepared to win at home. According to the schedule, the two series G3 will be played on May 8, and everyone thinks who can win the game? Feel free to leave your thoughts!
