Under pressure from the outside world, Dillon Brooks was suspended by the league for one game, which is exactly the same as the punishment imposed on Bucks player Grayson Allen this season. The league's punishment is obviously not enough to calm everything, at least in the eyes of the Warriors, the league's punishment is not strong enough, of course, you can fully understand the Warriors' emotions.
Gary Payton II was injured, which was a big blow to the Warriors, and even more so for himself. You know, as a player who is struggling to find opportunities in the league, how hard it is for him to get a foothold in the Warriors. Having just gained the team's trust and secured playing time, Gary Payton II hopes to prove himself in the playoffs.
But now, he doesn't know when he'll be back on the field.
After Gary Payton II was injured by a vicious foul on his opponent, Curry lamented, "He's going to shine in this series, and it shouldn't have happened." Dillon Brooks' foul provoked public outrage, Cole repeatedly denounced Dillon Brooks's bad behavior, and Warriors star Chris Mullin bluntly said that it was "completely out of bounds."
What we don't know is why Dillon Brooks was possessed in that moment, whether it was the intensity of the match that brought him to the head, or the effect of Drummond Green's previous malicious fouls on him. In any case, Dillon Brooks' foul had serious consequences, and teammate Brandon Clark also admitted that Dillon Brooks should not have done it.
How does Brandon Clarke see this?
Speaking about teammate Dillon Brooks' foul, Brandon Clark said, "I watched the game replay again later, and Dillon's foul was determined to be too ferocious and he did something he shouldn't have done. But it's actually tough... I know Dillon is feeling bad right now. ”
Brandon Clarke was fouled by Drummond Green in the first game of the series, and Green was expelled by the referee for defending too much, and he clearly knew what the consequences of a foul that moved too much could be. Luckily, Drummond Green's foul didn't hurt Clark too much.
Afterwards, Clark bluntly stated that he would not be shocked, "his career is famous for malicious fouls."
The Warriors and the Grizzlies have only played two games in this series, and they have already played extremely badly, and the high-intensity confrontation between the two sides in the game has injured many players, in addition to Gary Payton II, Morant, Drummond Green have also been injured, and the scene of Stephen Curry's palm bleeding is not worth mentioning.
Intense matches are naturally expected, but the excitement of the game cannot come at the expense of injuries to players.
Cole said of the series, "We just have to play hard, actively compete for every floor ball, fight for every rebound, and try to grasp every round." And one more thing, if the opponent is already one step ahead in the fast attack, don't risk his career. ”
This is obviously also for the opponent.
