Although it is a grudge, no one wants the game to turn out like this

Maybe many of the classic moments about the NBA playoffs before were too old, but today this must be a memorable memory for more fans. Thompson's 11 anti-heaven three-pointers, pouring out the Thunder, watched the live show of hands.

Expulsion, criminals, injuries, public opinion... No one would have imagined that the Grizzlies and Warriors' semifinals would turn out to be what they are today.

In the first game, Clarke, a second-level villain, was expelled; in the second game between the two sides, Dillon Brooks evil criminal Payton II, who caused a fractured arm and was ban at the same time; in today's third game, Kyle Anderson was sent off for two consecutive Ts, but more concerned is Morant's injury.

On May 8, Beijing time, the Warriors defeated the Grizzlies 142-112 at home, leading 2-1 by a large score, but the topic of everyone's attention is no longer the game itself.

Halfway through the fourth quarter, Morant adjusted his right knee during the game before limping off the field and returning to the locker room to exit the game.

Not many people noticed what was going on, after all, Morant had a lot of collisions in this game. But then television footage gave Morant the last offensive turn before he left the court.

Morant was attacked by Poole and Wiggins after launching the block. Poole, who was on the right side of Morant's body, first had a collision between his right knee and Morant's right knee, and then grabbed Morant's knee when he reached for the ball. In slow motion, this is a foul move.

After the game, Grizzlies coach Jenkins said: "Morant is being checked and we have no further information. He was dribbling that round and Jordan Poole grabbed his knee while grabbing the ball and jerked it, which led to a follow-up. I'm curious about what happens after that. ”

In fact, the reporters at the scene asked Jenkins more harsh questions. The reporter at the scene asked twice in a row: "Are you saying that Poole did it on purpose?" ”

Jenkins replied very cautiously: "I don't know, I'll watch the replay, I just said that happened, that triggered [Morant's injury]." I didn't say he meant it. ”

Apparently, the frustration of losing and the anger of injury made Morant the first to shoot on personal social media, he forwarded the moment of his injury, and wrote on social media: "Broke the code." ”

It is worth mentioning that after Dillon committed a foul on Peyton Jr. in the second game, Cole used this sentence to evaluate Dillon's foul, and Morant obviously took this sentence to heart.

But Morant quickly deleted the message and sent a message wishing his mother a Happy Mother's Day.

Afterwards, there was a war of words over whether It was Pull pulled by Molante's knee that injured the latter.

Poole, who was the person involved, said in an interview: "It was a basketball action, we were wrapping him up, I was rushing to the ball, I wasn't that kind of dirty player, I didn't want anyone to get hurt. ”

"I respect every player, I hope he's okay and I hope to see him again in the next game. I'm not that kind of player, I don't play that kind of dirty game. ”

Curry said: "Morant's injury is not a joke, but the rest of the follow-up is bullshit. What Pooler did and what Dillon and Dream chased before could not be compared together. ”

Morant and Jenkins are naturally understandable to be angry, after all, no one wants to be injured, let alone some unconventional actions, as a victim of this game, it is also common for people to say two sentences.

Before talking about this series, it was said that the two sides were a grudge, from the moment Iguodala refused to play for the Grizzlies, the beams of the two sides have been concluded, and this round of duels between the players of the two sides will naturally not give up.

But the development to the current appearance is naturally the result that everyone does not want to see.

First of all, discussing whether the athlete's actions are malicious is itself a confusing account, after all, everyone is not a party, even if there are thousands of inner brain supplements, it may not be what the athletes thought at the time.

Instead of guessing the motivation, it is better to talk about action. Just like the referee's blowing penalty for the game, he does not guess whether the athlete's each action is careless or evil, and it is more reasonable to judge based on the action itself.

Therefore, whether the alliance imposes additional penalties has nothing to do with the quality of the motive, and ultimately the alliance must give the judgment criteria.

According to ESPN, the League Office has more footage to watch and more decisions to make about the round from Pull to Morant's knee. Asked if he would appeal, Grizzlies coach Jenkins said: "We'll discuss it internally before we make a decision." ”

On the other hand, the focus of this series is really a bit off, and even ignores the battle of wits between the two teams.

As Jaren Jackson Jr. put it: "Unfortunately, you never want an injury like this to come up. But no one on the field is dirty, but you know, we've been talking about boundaries, boundaries, all round. ”

Today's game is actually a game in which the Warriors adjusted extremely well. But offensively, the Warriors shot 63.1 percent from the field, 53.1 percent from three-point range and 90.5 percent from the free throw line today.

Such offensive efficiency, it is difficult for opponents to match.

In contrast, the Warriors have significantly increased the percentage of offense under the basket. Today the Warriors scored 62 points in the penalty area, a new series high. From the distribution of shots, the proportion of the Warriors actually playing under the basket is not high, only 14%, but their throwing area inside the box and outside the three-second zone is 24 of 37.

The Warriors' close-range impact on the Grizzlies was more ferocious than in the previous two games. What's even more interesting is that the Grizzlies started the game like the Warriors today, with their first 18 points coming from three-pointers and shooting a whopping 75 percent from the field.

It's just that the Grizzlies failed to maintain such an offense under the Warriors' defense, and after the whole game, the Grizzlies' three-point shooting rate was 16 of 43, shooting 37.2%, while the Warriors' three-point shooting rate was 17 of 32, shooting more than 50%.

This is due to the Changes in the Warriors' defensive end, whose changes on the defensive end today trapped Morant, especially in the third quarter, when the Warriors once put up a 3-2 joint defense, with Wiggins standing at the top of the arc, and also mixed with some one-staring quadruple and staring defenses, cutting off the connection between Morant and other players.

Since then, the Grizzlies have once bet on the outside touch, but this one-shot deal has not saved the Grizzlies.

So instead of cutting the details, picking up the history, and talking about emotions, it is better to look at the match adjustments and wits between the two sides of the series.

On the other side of the Celtics and Bucks game, Alphabet Brother played another explosive performance.

In the whole game, Alphabet Brother played 38 minutes and 53 seconds, shooting 16 of 30, including 1 of 6 three-pointers, 9 of 12 free throws, and cut 42 points, 12 rebounds, 8 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks.

After the game, Brother Alphabet said in an interview about his personal excellence: "I know what my strengths are, I just try to read what is in front of me and play by instinct. ”

"Sometimes I play the right performance, sometimes I make mistakes, but as long as I compete with my strengths, we're in a great position."

In contrast, Tatum probably experienced the worst playoff game since his debut. In the whole game, Tatum scored only 10 points on 4-of-19 and 0-of-6 on three-pointers. It was the first time since March 30 that Tatum had failed to hit a three-pointer in a game.

With Brown and Horford both out-of-the-box, it's a shame that Tatum failed to pick up the fire. After the game, Tatum said: "I may have thought a little too much. There were balls I should have shot, and I was trying to pass the ball. I need to improve on tactical decisions. ”

"Obviously, I'm looking forward to the next rally. I will be ready and try to help the team win. I have to play better, I know that, and my teammates know that. ”

The contest between the Celtics and the Bucks relies on the hard solution ability of the two superstars, and the chain must not be dropped at this time.

In the next G4, the pressure came to the side of the Green Shirts.
