Basketball boy, starting to shine from the slam dunk
Chapter 1532 Western Conference Finals, Clash of Champions (9)
Green's remarks on social media immediately caused an uproar, and fans flocked to Green's social media to leave messages and criticize him.
This kind of thing is not easy to say.
Although the Warriors had indeed won the championship before Durant joined the team, it did not sound so good to the fans.
What do you mean you were champions before Durant came? You mean you could still win the championship even without Durant, right?
Does it matter whether Durant is there or not?
For a time, the voices condemning Green not only did not disappear, but instead became more and more rampant, and some fans even protested and hoped that Green would be punished.
However, it was just an internal fight, not a conflict with the opponent. As for the fight between Green and Durant in the locker room, it was just a false rumor.
It's the Warriors' own business, and the league can't say anything, let alone impose any punishment on Green.
But the Warriors must do something internally.
First of all, this kind of trend must not be allowed to continue. If Green is not punished this time, will Green become even worse next time? Will someone else learn from Green?
Secondly, how can we give Durant an explanation if Green is not punished? Durant played with an injury to help the team win the game, but he was criticized instead. Isn't that aggrieved?
Soon news came out that the Warriors would punish Green, but given that it was the Western Conference Finals at this time, the punishment would be announced after the end of the season.
This is not surprising. After all, now is the critical moment of the playoffs. It would not be good to not let Green play at this time, right?
That would also be a disservice to the Warriors.
As for the fine...that's not that easy to deal with.
After all, even if the league wants to fine a player, there needs to be sufficient reasons and clear terms and rules.
Green just scolded Durant a few words, and neither side fought. Moreover, it was an internal matter, and it did not involve any technical fouls or personal fouls. There was no clause to justify a fine. The best punishment was for the Warriors to suspend Green.
But the ban cannot happen now.
The Warriors have not yet announced the specific punishment, but the Warriors have already contacted Durant, comforted Durant, and made promises, guaranteeing that they will definitely punish Green and give Durant an explanation.
It looked as if the matter had just passed.
But everyone on the Warriors team knows that things are not going to be easy, and Coach Kerr and the coaching staff are having a headache right now.
Although they comforted Durant, would Durant still have no grudge in his heart?
This is probably unrealistic.
Also, the Western Conference Finals have to continue, but after this happened, can Green and Durant still work together in the game?
This incident gave Coach Kerr a headache and made him very angry with Green. Green is too impulsive.
This not only affects Green himself and Durant, but is also a big blow to the team's morale.
......
at the same time.
The Lakers were secretly happy. Not only did they win Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals, but judging from the situation, the subsequent games would also be in their favor.
The other team is in internal strife. Isn't this the best opportunity for the Lakers?
But when the second game of the series came, the Lakers quickly realized that things were not that simple. The Warriors played very well, and there seemed to be no grudges between Green and Durant. They still had the necessary passes and cooperation.
Zhuang Yu couldn't help but sigh that Coach Kerr was still very good.
He was able to handle the matter in such a short time, and it seemed as if nothing had happened at all. This kind of ability is not something that ordinary people can have.
Durant and Cousins still started this game, but Cousins only played for 1 minutes in the first quarter, and Durant only played for 4 minutes in the first quarter. Durant basically did not attack with the ball and played without the ball.
Obviously, he is still protecting Durant.
However, in this game, Coach Kerr obviously developed a special off-ball tactic for Durant. Although Durant still did not attack the basket much, he was able to use tactical coordination to get as many one-on-one mismatch opportunities as possible and shoot immediately after receiving the ball.
In the game, it was still Zhuang Yu defending Durant, but Durant did not face Zhuang Yu one-on-one. Instead, he used the screen and pick-and-roll of his teammates to get rid of Zhuang Yu's defense. After forming a dislocation, he used the advantages of his height and wingspan to finish with a shot.
Although this still cannot fully bring out Durant's super scoring ability, the efficiency is much higher than the previous game.
At the end of the first half, the Lakers led by 5 points.
Even though the Lakers were leading, the 5-point difference obviously didn't mean anything.
......
After entering the second half, the Warriors began to fight back. With a wave of three-pointers, the Warriors quickly overtook the score and forced the Lakers to call a timeout.
After the timeout, Zhuang Yu started scoring and scored points one after another.
However, Curry and Durant of the Warriors also scored consecutively. The two took turns to support the Warriors' offense.
In the next few minutes, the two sides exchanged blows, and neither side was able to gain an advantage. The score remained tense. Until the end of the third quarter, the difference between the two sides was only 3 points.
Entering the last quarter, the Lakers sent Lopez on the field early, while the Warriors sent Curry on the field.
After a few minutes, the Warriors gained the upper hand thanks to Curry's outstanding performance.
At this time, the Lakers began to replace their main lineup, and the Warriors also replaced Durant, Klay and others, and the game entered the decisive stage.
In the next few minutes, it could be said that neither side could defend the other. The scores kept rising alternately, but it was still difficult to widen the gap.
Until the last three minutes, the gap between the two sides remained tight.
At this time, Durant suddenly stood up, changed his previous playing style, and no longer avoided physical confrontation. He rushed into the inside again and again and scored the ball.
Although Durant avoided confrontation in the last game due to physical reasons and the fans expressed their understanding after the game, the game was lost after all.
Durant was also unhappy.
In this game, Coach Kerr told him to take care of his body and play without the ball as much as possible, but when the game reached this critical moment, Durant knew he could no longer play like that.
He has to be tougher, even if it means taking some risks, he has to step up and help the team win the game.
No one expected that Durant, who had been playing without the ball and avoiding physical confrontation throughout the game, would attack the basket again and again in the last three minutes...
In the end, thanks to Durant's outstanding performance in the last three minutes, the Warriors defeated the Lakers 122:119, changing the series score to 1:1.
In this game, Zhuang Yu scored 30 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists. Lopez, Holiday and others also performed well.
But the Warriors' performance was also very good, with Curry scoring 27 points, Durant 28 points, Klay 20 points, and three players on the team scoring 20+ points.
