One Thousand Seven Hundred and Eighty-Five. Being Unyielding Even when You Are Right!
This is not the most critical thing. Sun Ce's waist and upper body pressed on Drummond Green's upper body. This is just a head-on collision at most, which may hurt for a while.
The key is that when Sun Ce lost his balance in the air and fell, he had no control over his body. He couldn't even control whether he would get hurt. After pressing Drummond Green's upper body and knocking him down, his thigh hit Drummond Green's crotch...
Drummond Green, who was screaming wildly, pushed Sun Ce away, then covered his crotch and screamed while rolling. When other people saw this scene, how could they not know what happened?
The men at the scene, even the three or five-year-old children, couldn't help but put their hands on the vitals. This was a pain that only men could feel. They seemed to see the scene of two eggs colliding and breaking at the same time...
At this time, the referee who rushed up looked at Sun Ce who was sitting on the ground with a confused face after being pushed away, and then looked at Drummond Green who was rolling on the ground. The referee was also confused.
Although the referee also felt the pain in his balls, unlike the others who were all focused on Drummond Green rolling on the floor, they noticed that Drummond Green was just going towards people, but when they wanted to react, Drummond Green's foul had already been implemented. It was not that they didn't want to stop it, but they couldn't do it!
Just when they were desperate, two seconds later, the scene became like this.
Those who turned on the TV now thought that Sun Ce had done something to Drummond Green... However, the referee looked at Sun Ce who was sitting on the floor without any problem, and then looked at Drummond Green who was so painful that he couldn't even scream and started to twitch, and Steve Kerr who was yelling at the team doctor to come quickly on the sidelines... They couldn't believe that it was Sun Ce who was fouled!
When the Warriors team doctor came on the court, Steve Kerr remembered to call a timeout, and the others on the court reacted.
In this situation, Randolph, who was sitting on the sidelines, didn't want to stand up. It wasn't his turn to shoot, and the opponent had already suffered from it!
The players on the Grizzlies helped Sun Ce up, and coach Hollins immediately called Sun Ce back for an examination. The players on the Warriors didn't know what to say, and didn't even know how to express their emotions.
Curry and Harden of the Warriors have a good relationship with Sun Ce. At this moment, the two even resisted Drummond Green's idea, but out of teammate affection, they were worried about Drummond Green.
The key is tonight's game! Without Drummond Green, they lost the team's best inside player!
...
Sun Ce was helped back to the bench for an examination.
He felt pain, but it was just the pain of his shoulder hitting the ground and the hard-hitting pain in the confrontation with Drummond Green. This is not much different from falling and getting injured in the confrontation with those inside players.
But the picture at that time gave people the feeling that both of them fell badly, but Drummond Green was "unlucky" and was hit on the balls. The fans thought Drummond Green was more painful, but when they came to their senses, everyone thought that Sun Ce should also be injured. Drummond Green's action just now was obviously a malicious foul.
Didn't you see that Sun Ce was stunned by the fall?
But in fact, Sun Ce was just frightened. He was really scared when he lost his balance.
Then he was a little confused because of the special card usage prompt...
"Because the host is about to encounter a malicious action foul, the special card: Evil will be punished automatically. The damage caused by the malicious action of the opponent to the host will be reflected to the opponent in this action. The host only needs to bear the necessary counter-damage."
This card saved the life of the little bully!
Sun Ce felt that this card was the card of God! After coming to his senses, Sun Ce was really angry!
Since he dared to touch his little bully, if it weren't for this card, it would be him, Sun, who would be lying down!
There was no time to think about it. After the referee asked the Grizzlies team doctor whether he had given Sun Ce a verbal appearance certificate and received a response that he was allowed to play, he signaled the two teams to continue the game and gave Draymond Green a first-level malicious foul.
They watched the replay when Sun Ce was examined by the team doctor. It was a flagrant foul without any suspense. If it was Sun Ce who was injured and left the court, it would definitely be a second-level flagrant foul, but it was Draymond Green who left the court... A first-level flagrant foul is enough, giving the league some room to consider. After all, there is still the next game. If Draymond Green is suspended in the next game, the Warriors will have no hope. After all, he is the core organizer of the Warriors' inside line and the best defensive player in the team.
Coach Hollins wanted to let Sun Ce take a break, but Sun Ce made it clear that he wanted to play. Coach Hollins couldn't get over Sun Ce and sent a combination of Paul George, Pierce, Randolph, and Larry Sanders to protect Sun Ce.
On the other side, the Warriors could only replace Draymond Green with Speights and replace Thabeet with Salinger. Curry, Harden, and Iguodala continued to play. At this time, they lost Draymond Green, the most critical player in the double-one defense, and Steve Kerr could only attack. Playing defense, Draymond Green and Thabeet were both there, and they had the ability to defend against the Grizzlies.
The double one defense can still compete with the Grizzlies without Thabeet, but without Draymond Green, it is really impossible to be compared with the Grizzlies.
In all aspects, the Warriors can improve so much this season, and the biggest improvement is the improvement of Draymond Green at the power forward position.
However, before the timeout, Curry was only worried about Draymond Green's inability to play and whether Sun Ce was injured, but now, Curry is full of resentment.
If they lose this game, they will lose both the team and the people.
Curry is a decent man. Whether he wins or loses, he wants to be upright!
But now, even if he wins, he feels shameful!
On the other hand, Harden was overwhelmed with frustration. From his personality, we can see that he is a gentle person. He doesn't like such teammates from the bottom of his heart.
The obvious emotional fluctuations of the team's dual cores infected the entire Warriors team.
Moreover, they were already behind by 8 points, which was equivalent to them being hot-headed and committing fouls because they couldn't afford to lose.
The most important thing is that they really know that Draymond Green can't afford to lose and ran to commit fouls. They know Draymond Green better than people from other teams. This guy is very smart, very smart. He looks careless but is actually very rational and calm. When he really made such a move, he definitely lost his cool!
Drummond Green's foul made the Warriors players' fighting spirit plummet!
Even the emotions of the fans at the scene were very complicated. They only realized at this moment how much they loved Sun Ce. It was only because they lost him that they were extremely annoyed and had the idea of hostility towards Sun Ce.
But now they have the idea that if we have Sun Ce, do we still need Drummond Green?
The answer is obvious, no! Most of what Drummond Green can do, Sun Ce can do, and most of what Sun Ce can do, Drummond Green can't do!
Even the enthusiasm of the fans at the scene was destroyed by Drummond Green's malicious foul.
It's a malicious foul, but the malicious foul got him out of the game, which was simply embarrassing!
On the other hand, the Grizzlies were very excited!
Although Sun Ce was not injured, the more they thought about it, the more scared they were, and the more angry they were.
After the timeout, the players of both teams returned to the court, and Drummond Green's foul gave the Grizzlies a chance to make two free throws.
Sun Ce took a break, and the pain from the injury gradually faded, but his touch seemed to be affected by his shoulder hitting the floor. The first hook shot didn't go in, but fortunately the second hook shot went in.
9-point difference!
The Grizzlies were still attacking, and the Grizzlies sent out the sideline ball. Paul George took the ball and shot a three-pointer directly...missed! But Randolph flicked the ball out, Pierce received the ball and passed it to Sun Ce, who then passed it to Paul George who found an offensive rebound and pulled to the sideline. Paul George took the ball and shot another three-pointer...this ball went in!
92 to 80, the Grizzlies extended their lead to 12 points!
From this moment on, the Warriors' offense suddenly broke down. They were very professional and tried hard to adjust their mentality, but they were still affected by the increasingly fierce confrontation of the Grizzlies, and they didn't score for three minutes.
It was not until the end of the third quarter that the Grizzlies got a free throw because they were too aggressive in the confrontation, breaking the scoring drought.
After three quarters, the Grizzlies led the Warriors by 14 points, 98 to 84, and entered the intermission.
The two teams were already tense. Although the Warriors were in the wrong, it was not their remaining players who committed the foul. After the fourth quarter, the Warriors' actions became fierce.
The two teams fought each other and the scoring efficiency began to decline sharply.
This situation was obviously more favorable for the Grizzlies, who had a lead of more than ten points!
Old fans had expected such a situation, and the situation would definitely evolve into this. The referee was very nervous. There were many fouls and even technical fouls in the fourth quarter. In the middle of the fourth quarter, Randolph elbowed Gerald Wallace and was sent off. Soon after, Salinger and Iguodala each received a technical foul...
Fouls, free throws, technical fouls, six fouls and departures... The fourth quarter was extremely ugly. The Warriors wanted to adjust, but no one listened to Steve Kerr. Although they felt guilty at first, people are like this. They think the Grizzlies are too much.
The Grizzlies were indeed unyielding. Coach Hollins took advantage of this trend intentionally, ordering no fighting and no fouls, but resolutely not reducing the confrontation!
It would be more beneficial for the Grizzlies to continue to fight!
