On May 10, Beijing time, the series between the Warriors and the Grizzlies came to the fourth game, after the Warriors led the Grizzlies 2-1.
With Morant injured in the previous game and not showing up in the game, the Warriors eventually beat the Grizzlies 101-98, giving the Warriors a 3-1 lead over the Grizzlies in the Series, with the next game coming back to the Grizzlies' home court.
In this game, the projection of both teams is not very good, with three-point shooting rates below 30%, especially the Warriors, who only hit 9 three-pointers, shooting a pitifully low 24.3%. But the Warriors still won the game with the fourth quarter, but after the game, as the Grizzlies head coach, there was a discordant voice.
In the final moments of the game, the Grizzlies trailed by three points, Jaren Jackson shot a three-point shot from the outside, but was interfered with by the Warriors' Green, and in the end, the Warriors got the ball, and the game was basically conclusive.
After the game, Grizzlies coach Jenkins said: "I'm curious what the referee report will say about the ball, that three-point shot was a bit urgent, but there was physical contact at the time. ”
This is not the first time Jenkins has made such remarks, in the first game, Green pulled Brandon Clark's layup and was expelled, Jenkins also said after the game: "I am not surprised by Green's malicious foul, he used to play like this.
But Green's foul in this game was a clear protective action, and compared to the previous Green, the first foul against Clark also caused a lot of controversy.
Interestingly, in the second game, Dillon's malicious foul on Payton Jr., Jenkins changed his previous malicious foul against Green. Jenkins said: "Dillon's moves are not completely dirty, we are not such a team. ”
And after game 2, the Grizzlies were still applying to the league to ban Poole because of the bench that Poole left when Payton Jr. was injured, but the league didn't respond at the time.
Also in the third game, Poole tugged on Morant's knee, and the Grizzlies not only applied to the league to investigate the matter, but Grizzlies head coach Jenkins said that Morant's injury was caused by Poole's round. Even as the league announced that it would not punish Poole, Jenkins insisted on his opinion.
In today's game, the Grizzlies lacked Morant, but the overall performance of the Warriors in this game was really not very good, the offensive effectiveness was very low, which was also a good opportunity for the Grizzlies to chase points, but in the end the Grizzlies still lost the game in the lead.
I have to say that Jenkins's ability to throw the pot is indeed very strong, and even as fans say, Jenkins lost not only the game in this series against the Warriors, but also the pattern.
