On May 10, Beijing time, the G4 game of the Western Conference semifinals, the Warriors defeated the Grizzlies 101-98 at home, leading 3-1 on aggregate. In this game, Dillon Brooks returned from the ban, scoring 12 points, 5 rebounds and 8 assists, plus or minus -5! In the final moments of the game, Dillon made a mistake and a three-point projection, which directly buried the Grizzlies' entire lead.
In the opening stages of both G2, Payton was viciously fouled by Dillon Brooks during a breakthrough, losing his balance in the air and breaking his elbow, requiring a 3-5 week break. Afterwards, Dillon was suspended by the league for one game and missed the G3 game. In the G4 game, Dillon returned, and he also apologized to Payton Jr. before the game, but the Warriors home fans will not let him go.
In this game, Dillon was booed by Warriors fans when he played. Speaking about it at a press conference after the game, Clay said: "Our fans are very enthusiastic and if you hurt them, they will let you hear. I would say, well done, Warrior Nation. ”
In fact, Dillon had thought of this scene long before the game. He said in an interview: "I like to be booed by opponent fans, and I don't care/beware of the over-hype that Warriors fans have been over-hyping me lately." But judging by Dillon's offensive choices in the final moments, he was still affected by the boos of the fans.
