In the finals G1 that ended yesterday, the Golden State Warriors defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers 124:114 through overtime, achieving a good start. During the game, Warriors player Drummond Green had two controversial actions.
The first time was when the game was in the middle of the second quarter. James 's layup was fouled by Greene, and his eyes were stabbed and fell to the ground in pain. In the close-up of the entire second half, we can clearly see the bloodshots penetrated into the corners of James' eyes. At the post-match press conference, LBJ said that his vision became blurry throughout the second half, and he needed to actively treat his eye injuries in the next few days. Many people may say that in such a high-intensity final, it is difficult for players to control their movements. As we all know, NBA is a gathering place for the world's top basketball players. How could they not know how to protect themselves in fierce confrontation? What actions will hurt the opponent's players? You can use tough fouls to suppress your opponent's momentum, but there is no need to rush to hurt someone. You know, James is the number one player in the league (I believe that no one will have any doubts through James' performance in the playoffs), and is the signature of the entire NBA league. Once he is injured and cannot continue to play in the remaining games under this situation, the impact on the ratings of the Finals will be devastating, which is something Xiao Hua doesn't want to see.
Another time, 4.7 seconds before the end of the game. Cavaliers 8 points behind the Warriors, with no hope of turning around, Livingston dribbling to the frontcourt, the NBA has an unwritten rule. On the premise of confirming victory, the home team usually chooses to spend the remaining time to give up the chance to attack the last attack as a sign of respect. But Livingston chose to throw the ball, Thompson stepped forward and blocked it, and was sentenced to a second-degree malicious foul. At this time, Green stepped forward and muttered something, probably because he said some extreme words that angered Thompson, and then a conflict broke out on the court. It can be said that this behavior is quite unnecessary. The home team has won the game, so why bother using this method to anger or even humiliate the opponent? You should know that Xiao Hua has always been committed to building the NBA into a football league that is loved by fans around the world. The words and deeds of NBA stars also affect the teenagers' understanding of basketball. Once a wrong demonstration is made, it may hurt the NBA's brand image.
In short, Green's two actions are quite unnecessary. You can treat the game with a tough attitude, but please use the correct way. For example, Rockets' PJ Tucker, like Green, is the mainstay of the team's defense, but Tucker just contributes to the team with his professional ethics and has never done extreme behavior. He is loved by fans and can also gain the respect of his opponents.
Draymond Green (Draymond Green), 200cm tall and weighs 104.3 kg, playing as a power forward/center. 2012 NBA Draft was selected by Golden State Warriors in the second round, and has played for it so far.
It can be said that Green is definitely a model for low-pick draft players. At that time, the head coach of the Warriors was still Mark Jackson , and Green was not reused under his command. In order to correct Curry , the management fired Mark Jackson and hired Cole as the head coach. Green's spring has officially arrived. Cole has created the Warriors' five deaths that have scared the entire league. Green is the most important part of it. He uses his super high ball quotient, tough defense, and first-class ball conduction ability to connect the entire team, making great contributions to the Warriors' creation of the dynasty and becoming an indispensable soul figure for the team.
However, after the Warriors won the first championship, Green's toughness quietly changed the "taste". On the court, they often make unnecessary and extremely dangerous foul actions, often use fierce words to anger, provoke opponents, and accumulate more and more technical fouls. They always make inappropriate remarks off the court, and even disrespect Hall of Fame players. They are named "Kicking Egg" by fans. Even so, Green still did his own thing and did not repent. He even boasted of himself as a "classical striker", emphasizing that Jordan was playing in this era.You should know that in the NBA in the 1980s, almost every team was so tough. Smiling Assassin: Saiya Thomas, Kalmaron , Gary Payton , Artest , Jackson, Big Ben Wallace , Barkley , Rodman , who doesn't play like this. If Green had been born in that era and fought against these historical superstars, he might not have been able to take advantage.
Usually, our standard for evaluating whether an NBA star can become a super giant is whether he can save the team from fire and turn the tide when the team is in trouble. Obviously Green is not at this level. The reason why the Warriors were able to establish a dynasty was due to the system created by Cole for the Warriors. Everyone has achieved their greatest potential under this system and perform their own duties. We cannot deny the greatness of the Warriors. Basketball is indeed a team sport. The Warriors are talented players who will play team basketball to the extreme. However, when you hold 2 cats and 4 2 in your hand, it becomes more and more natural to win the game, as if you have lost the charm of competitive sports. Green seemed to regard the role of the system as his own credit. The Warriors could not defeat it, so he felt that he could not defeat it and became more and more inflated. I believe that many fans don’t like the Warriors. A large part of the reason is that Green is too outgoing and swaggering. A super giant who can be remembered by the world is definitely not like this. Jordan, Kobe , and James have influenced generations of fans with their perseverance and forbearance. They are well-deserved superstars!
If Green leaves the Warriors system and goes to a team in the middle of the league, can he still play this role? Can you change the trend of the game with just a few strength? The answer is no! At best, he can only be the backbone of the team's defense, and he may be selected into the best defensive team. It is almost impossible to win the championship again!
Warriors have now become the public enemy of the entire league, and all powerful teams have taken it as their mission to defeat the Warriors. This summer, the Warriors will face huge salary pressure. They need to renew their contracts with Durant and Thompson. Once one of them runs away and the other teams are constantly strengthening, the Warriors dynasty will no longer exist. If Green cannot change his personality and learn from superstars such as Jordan, Kobe, , Garnett, , James, etc., he will become the public enemy of the league again, and it is only a matter of time before he falls.
Dramund Green , is it an angel or a devil? What do you think of readers? Let's argue if you don't agree
