On May 2, Beijing time, the warriors defeated the Grizzlies 117-116 in the first game of the Western Conference semifinals. Dream Green's second quarter was whistled for a second-degree malicious foul to expel the game, which already had a gunpowder flavor. Clark declared Grimm a repeat offender after the game, and Green responded with a laughing cry meme and expressed his desire to change to a first-degree malicious foul on the podcast.
In the second quarter of the game, Green tugged at Clark in defensive time and space, sparking controversy. Clark said after the game: "His career has become known for malicious fouls, I've seen it on TV and it's not shocking that he did that. ”
Green retweeted Clark's remarks on social media, with a caption in response to 9 laughing and crying emoticons.
Green then elaborated on the malicious foul on his podcast, saying, "I think tonight's incident is likely to have something to do with my reputation." ”
Green said he was concerned about accumulating a 2-point foul point for this second-degree foul, and he had previously been banned in the playoffs for foul scores.
According to the rules, a second-level malicious foul accumulates 2 points for fouling, and if the player commits another second-level malicious foul, he will be automatically suspended for one game. During the 2015-16 Finals, Green was banned for one game because of the accumulation of malicious foul points to trigger the penalty line, which triggered a major reversal on the Cavaliers.
Green said: "I hope the right thing can happen, at least to get me back to a first-degree malicious foul." "A first-degree malicious foul has a foul score of only 1 point.
Green also explained that he did not fight Clark too much and felt that Clark landed in a relatively safe position.
It is worth mentioning that Trae Young expressed his opinion on the referee's blowing penalty: "You can't let (the referee) dominate the players and the game!" ”
Lillard also spoke up: "Man, we have to have a better understanding of the rules. ”
