The NBA playoffs continue, with a focus game in the West, with the Warriors playing the Nuggets at home. In the second half of the first quarter, a fierce scene broke out on the court, and the two sides clashed, and Draymond Green was sharp after being knocked over by Aaron Gordon, holding each other's legs. The referee only gave Aaron Gordon a single technician.
In the first four games, the Warriors had a big advantage, they took a 3-1 lead, have already won the game point, and this game is trying to end this series at home. In the opening, Steve Kerr came up with five small lineups, and the Nuggets' response was also simple and rude, that is, let Jokic and Aaron Gordon rush to the basket and make money, not at least cause killing, so that your main player will be in foul trouble. I have to say that this solution is OK, the Warriors did not take too much advantage, and Kerr was forced to take Looney back.
But the Nuggets' thinking remains the same, that is, to resolutely kill the basket. Another time, Aaron Gordon took the ball and went inside, and it was Draymond Green who was in charge of defending him, and in the process of retreating, he was knocked to the ground. Then the two clashed.
From the slow mirror playback, why did Green get angry? It turns out that there is a reason for it. Green's chest was smashed by the ball, I don't know if Aaron Gordon intentionally, or unintentionally, in short, Green was very angry, immediately hugged the other party's leg, Gordon almost fell to the ground, the two broke out of friction. Fortunately, the situation has not spread, and I will stop and express my attitude.
Will the referee give both sides a technical foul? No, only Aaron Gordon was given a technician, and the referee may also think that the person who provoked this incident is Aaron Gordon, does that mean that there is a deliberate suspicion of smashing people with the ball? It is worth mentioning that Curry's technical penalty basket failed to hit, the conflict incident passed, and neither side had much to lose, just as if nothing had happened.
