The older superstars of the NBA

Chapter 246 The Warriors' Internal Contradictions

After the fifth game in the Western Conference, the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Golden State Warriors scored a 2-3 score.

Although this result was beyond most people's expectations, it has to be said that the Minnesota Timberwolves did achieve results that surprised most people.

At the same time, other teams in the West are also fighting fiercely.

Compared with the struggle of the Golden State Warriors, the game between the Memphis Grizzlies and the Portland Trail Blazers has little suspense.

The Portland Trail Blazers, which has star players such as Damian Lillard and LaMarcus Aldridge, were quite high-profile at the beginning. They said that the team's goal is to win the championship and to hit the championship.

Of course, the slogan was very good, but in fact, since entering the first round of the playoffs, their performance is really not very good.

The Grizzlies always give people a feeling of being unobtrusive. The latter does not seem to have the fighting spirit of the Trail Blazers, but in the end, with Zach Randolph and Mike Conley playing quite well. A strong performance, except for losing the game by a small margin in the fourth game, the other games were almost crushed.

In the end, the two sides ended the battle with a big score of 4 to 1.

The Memphis Grizzlies also became the star team in the second round of the playoffs.

Other teams in the Western Conference did not look good to him before, but this time, many people have regarded them as one of the most powerful competitors in the Western Conference Finals.

The other two Western Conference teams, the Houston Rockets and the Dallas Mavericks, also used five games to finish the game.

Although the Dallas Mavericks have players like Dirk Nowitzki and Monta Ellis, the Houston Rockets' lineup is just as good.

The combination of James Harden and Dwight Howard has made many teams in the league start to look forward to these two names.

In addition, the Los Angeles Clippers and the San Antonio Spurs, the former finals team, played the same inextricable game between the two teams. After the fifth game, the San Antonio Spurs had been cornered by the Los Angeles Clippers. middle.

The sixth game in the future will also be the deciding game between the two teams. Once anyone has any thoughts of slack, the final result must be defeated by the opponent and eliminated.

After five bloody battles in the first round of the Western Conference, we can already see their cruel and fierce competition pattern.

On the east side, there is a different battle situation from the west.

The Cleveland Cavaliers led by LeBron James swept the Boston Celtics 4-0.You know, the year before, the Cleveland Cavaliers couldn't do this feat.

Only one season has passed.

Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving didn't play a particularly big role in the first round.

In other words, the team has not yet reached the time when they need to go all out, even if the team just crushes the opponent, there is no need for the Big Three to get together.

The other sweeping teams were the Toronto Raptors and the Washington Wizards.

As a team located in Canada, the Raptors are not a particularly good choice in the eyes of many NBA players.

The core of their team has always been DeMar DeRozan and Kyle Lowry. These two guards have injected new soul and hope into this seemingly hopeless team.

Unfortunately, such hopes are doomed to be shattered.

From the first game, the Wizards, led by Paul Pierce and others, continued to play a strong offense. Basically, the Wizards had won the match point before the last quarter.

On the contrary, the Raptors, which many Toronto fans place high hopes on, couldn't find any other scoring points to save the team after the sluggish performance of DeMar DeRozan and Kyle Lowry.

This has been the case for four consecutive games. The Raptors have played very hard, but they still cannot help the team win the final victory.

Therefore, being swept by the opponent 4-0 became their ultimate affiliation.

The other four teams are the Atlanta Hawks and Brooklyn Nets, as well as the Chicago Bulls and Milwaukee Bucks.

These four teams are highly similar to the previous two, especially in record.

The Atlanta Hawks were the same as the Chicago Bulls. After the fifth game, they scored a big score of 3 to 2. While successfully getting the match point, they also let the opponent fall into the quagmire.

With the arrival of the sixth game, whether it is the Eastern team or the Western team, everything seems to be becoming more and more clear.

After the Golden State Warriors lost Game [-], the team held a meeting to analyze the matter.

Head coach Steve Kerr pointed out the problems of the players on the field, trying to make everyone learn from the coach and avoid the next mistake.

It's just that, in this way, the topic will inevitably come to Draymond Green, especially his move to snatch the ball in singles at the last moment.

"Oh! What does this mean? Coach Steve? Is this my problem alone? Andre passed it to me, why not to Stephen? That's because he was being watched to death... .I also want to help the team win, so I sprint with the ball..."

"I didn't say that I must play alone. The ball is just to help the team save attack time and find a more suitable time to pass to others..."

Draymond Green looked a little excited.

His opening also made many players quite dissatisfied.

Especially Andre Iguodala who sent the ball into his hands at the last moment, "Hey, Draymond, I will send it to you just by hand... If I knew you would do it alone, I'm sure I'm not going to pass the ball to you...."

"Dude, you're a striker and handling the ball in the clutch is not your forte...why would I take such a risk?"

Seeing Andre Iguodala questioning, Draymond Green, who had gradually calmed down, suddenly became furious.

"Damn bastard...why don't you say that when passing the ball?"

"Wait until you lose the game now, and you stand up and blame me like everyone else?"

Draymond Green became more and more angry, so he didn't wait for the head coach Steve Kerr to react, and slammed the door in front of his teammates.

Such a move also made the teammates look confused, and even made Coach Steve Kerr's face ugly.

No one dares to easily challenge his authority as a head coach. Obviously, he is being challenged now.

However, coach Steve Kerr did not expect that Draymond Green's reaction to this matter was stronger.

After slamming the door and leaving the locker room, Draymond Green asked for leave from the team management that day, saying that he needed to take a short break due to personal matters.

As soon as this incident came out, the Warriors management was immediately surprised.
