Basketball boy, starting to shine from the slam dunk
Chapter 1531 Western Conference Finals, Clash of Champions (8)
what?
For a moment, everyone was confused.
Everyone was a little depressed during those few minutes, but no one expected Green to actually scold Durant, and the first words he said were so harsh.
Durant's expression suddenly turned ugly. He stood up with a dark face. However, he was not good at arguing with others. He only subconsciously explained: "I haven't fully recovered from my injury, so..."
"Get out of here! What excuses are you making?" Green didn't listen at all and just kept talking nonsense.
Only then did his teammates react and they all grabbed Green and asked him to calm down.
Although he was held back by his teammates, Green was still spraying blood from his mouth.
The commotion here had already attracted the attention of the fans, and even the fans who were nearby heard what Green said to Durant just now.
The fans who were far away didn't know what was going on, and were a little confused when they saw that Green and Durant seemed to have a conflict.
"What's going on? Why are Green and Durant clashing?"
"I don't know. It looks like Green is very unhappy with KD. He keeps talking and KD looks very unhappy..."
No one expected such a scene to happen.
Everyone on the Lakers team was also stunned, and then they burst into laughter. Green's temper is so "cute".
The two were separated by their teammates. Green stopped scolding but still looked dissatisfied, while Durant's expression became extremely gloomy, and his face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
Looking at the two of them, Curry, Klay and others looked at each other, feeling helpless.
Coach Kerr also looked unhappy.
The internal strife within the team at this time is simply embarrassing for him, and the game hasn't even ended yet. Don't you want to play anymore?
"Okay, you don't want to fight, right? Then don't fight."
Coach Kerr was very annoyed, but he was also decisive enough to put Green on the bench. When the timeout was over, Curry, Klay, Durant, and Cousins all returned to the court, but Green did not.
Of course, it’s not entirely because of anger.
There were only more than two minutes left in the game, and the Warriors were still trailing by 9 points. It was actually very difficult to turn the tables. If they were only trailing by a little bit, or if they were leading in the score, Coach Kerr would have to wait until the end of the game before dealing with Green.
It must be dealt with. Others may not know, but Coach Kerr knows that Durant is not afraid of confrontation. It’s just that due to the injury, his body has not fully recovered.
What's more, no matter what the reason is, it is wrong for Green to scold his teammates like this, especially in public, which has a very bad impact.
After several players returned to the court, Coach Kerr looked back at Green, snorted, and then stood on the sidelines with his arms folded, staring at the court.
After returning to the court, Curry used a back-run to receive the ball outside the three-point line, and then directly shot a three-pointer, very quickly with almost no adjustment.
The basketball drew a beautiful arc and finally went through the net with a swish, causing loud cheers from the audience.
Three-pointers are really needed at this time.
After this three-pointer, the difference between the two sides became 6 points, and there were still two minutes left in the game, so there was hope for the Warriors to turn the game around.
However, when the Lakers arrived, Holiday passed the ball to Zhuang Yu and started to run. Zhuang Yu first pretended to break through, but then dribbled the ball from behind, pulled the ball back, tapped his feet on the floor, retreated outside the three-point line, and immediately jumped up to shoot.
With a clear sound, the basketball also went through the net.
After this shot, the difference between the two sides returned to 9 points.
After more than a minute, the two sides exchanged shots. Curry and Klay of the Warriors each shot a three-pointer. Curry's second three-pointer missed, but Klay's three-pointer went in. However, the Lakers also responded, with Lopez dunking with both hands in the paint.
As for Durant, although he was still on the court at the moment, he did not perform well. Obviously his mood was greatly affected. In addition, due to physical reasons, he did not take any shots in more than two minutes.
Soon, the game ended and the final score was 118:110. The Lakers defeated the Warriors by 8 points.
The Western Conference Finals score became 1:0.
In this game, Zhuang Yu scored 34 points, plus 9 rebounds and 7 assists, Lopez scored 21 points, Holiday scored 18 points, Rose scored 13 points, Clarkson scored 16 points, Anderson scored 10 points...
On the Warriors side, Curry scored 30 points, Klay scored 22 points, and Durant scored 19 points. In theory, 19 points is also very good, but that is for others. For Durant, 19 points seems a bit too little.
When the game was over, Durant went into the locker room immediately.
Green did not delay, turned around and walked away with a dark face. Several teammates hurriedly chased after him, fearing that Green and Durant would have another conflict...
In the audience, fans also began to disperse.
As they left, the fans were talking.
"It's a pity that we still lost."
"Yeah, they played pretty well in the first half, but they changed in the second half. I thought we could get revenge and beat the Lakers today, but we still lost."
"I blame Coach Kerr. I don't understand why he let Durant rest for so long in the second half when the score was still behind."
"By the way, why did Green and KD have a conflict? What was it all about?"
"Maybe they were not satisfied with KD's performance in the second half. KD didn't play very well in the second half. If he could play better, we might have won today."
"I also noticed that KD didn't seem to play very resolutely today. I didn't see him attacking the basket much. He just shot from the outside. He didn't play like this before."
"Even if KD didn't play well today, Green shouldn't be like that. The game wasn't over yet, but he actually quarreled with his teammates. This really embarrassed KD."
"KD also has a good temper. If it were me, I would have punched him if he dared to spit at me, regardless of who he was."
The home fans were a little disappointed with today's game. They came with expectations, hoping that the Warriors could beat the Lakers at home.
But the result was unexpected. Not only did they lose the game, but an internal conflict also broke out.
Of course, people are also curious about what happened between Green and Durant and why they had an internal conflict out of the blue.
......
It's not just the fans who are curious, the media reporters are even more curious.
They were keenly aware that this was a sensation, so they all wanted to know what exactly happened.
However, after the game, Green and Durant immediately returned to the locker room. They also tried to ask other Warriors players, but the Warriors players naturally would not say anything about such things.
At the press conference after the game, many media reporters asked Coach Kerr questions directly. Coach Kerr just said that both of them wanted to win the game very much, so they were a little emotional and spoke a little loudly. In fact, they were just communicating and exchanging views. At most, they just had different opinions on the game. There was no personal grudge, let alone infighting.
However, this statement is obviously not enough to convince people.
The reporters failed to get useful information from the Warriors players and coach Kerr, but they had plenty of ways and soon got the news from the fans near the Warriors bench.
A media outlet first reported that Green called Durant a softie and the two had a fierce argument. They also said that they almost came to blows after returning to the locker room...
This report was very skillful. It only briefly mentioned the reason why the two sides quarreled, but instead made a lot of exaggerations on the details of the quarrel and the fact that they almost came to blows after returning to the locker room, allowing fans to focus more on the highlights rather than the cause of the incident.
Of course, some media also focus on exploring the reasons behind this.
A media outlet, which did not know through which channel it obtained the news, said that the reason the two quarreled was indeed because Green was dissatisfied with Durant's performance. He believed that Durant was not tough enough on the court, was too weak, and avoided physical confrontation.
Moreover, they speculated that the reason why Durant did not dare to actively fight during the game was because his injury had not yet fully recovered.
When this news broke, it immediately sparked heated discussions among people.
"No wonder KD didn't attack the inside much in this game. It turns out that his injury has not healed yet."
"He played with an injury. KD played with an injury, so even if he didn't play well, there's nothing to blame. Green went too far."
"Yeah, it's not that KD doesn't want to play, he also wants to win the game, otherwise why would he come back with an injury. Green is too much, it's just a loss of a game, if it weren't for Durant, they might not have won the championship in the 16-17 season."
In this game, Durant was obviously avoiding physical confrontation, but he is not a player who is afraid of confrontation.
So when the news broke that he had not fully recovered from his injuries, everyone only needed two pieces of evidence to understand that it was probably true.
For a time, fans felt sorry for Durant and criticized Green.
Faced with one-sided public opinion, Green quit.
On the second night after the game, Green spoke on his social media, saying that he did not know Durant's physical condition and that Durant had deceived them before the game. He did not think this was something worth celebrating.
In Green's original words: "We are a team, we need to trust each other, we have to use the power of the team to win, rather than being a hero. Playing with injuries sometimes does not bring positive effects."
So he doesn't think there's anything wrong with him criticizing Durant.
As for fans who said that without Durant, they would not have won the championship in the 16-17 season, Green scoffed: "Don't forget, we were already the champions before Durant came."
