NBA Green’s fourth ejection of the season and Stephen Curry’s reaction

In the Golden State Warriors game on Wednesday, a double technical on number 23 rocked the game for the Warriors who were on the verge of elimination from the Play In.

On Wednesday night in the NBA, Draymond Green had another ejection, his fourth of the season, in a crucial game for the Golden State Warriors. The San Francisco team is on the brink of a cliff in the standings. With a record of 38 wins and 34 losses, they are tenth; being last classified for NBA play in. Perhaps the most unexpected is the good moment of the Houston Rockets, who have already won ten consecutive victories, worrying more than one in the Western conference. In that context, every game counts at this point in the season, and yesterday seemed to be a breaking point for life in the team led technically by Steve Kerr.

Almost three minutes had passed since the first jump when the Warriors’ number 23 complained about a foul called on his team against Paolo Banchero. What is remarkable is that it is not the player himself, but Andrew Wiggins. The intensity of the claim and its insistence caused the first technical foul to occur. Far from calming him down, it made the situation worse. Seconds later, they blew the second whistle, forcing Green to head to the locker room, with many games ahead of him.

Chef’s reaction

What ended up drawing attention was the reaction of Stephen Curry, who tried to mediate between the player and the referees, but without any success. The cameras followed him after the expulsion, and showed his tears, which he tried to hide by covering his face with his shirt. The coach tried to comfort him, but with little success. It’s a clear image that something seems to have broken in the team dynamic.

The perimeter player became the biggest figure in the game that ended in a Warriors victory. His closing work was important, with a couple of conversions that ended in a 101 to 93 score. Steph finished his scoresheet with 17 points (6 of 18 on field goals) and 10 assists.

Green A hopeless case?

In a season where every game counts for classification (although we often like to believe that in the NBA, this is not the case), the systematic dismissal of a key player plays more against a franchise that is far from the best. version of it. Three months ago, Draymond Green was suspended indefinitely by the NBA after a series of aggressive actions against his rivals. A grab with the smell of a wrestling key to the neck of a rival, a punch to the face for Jusuf Nurkic, a kick to the chest of Domantas Sabonis, perhaps, the most serious and remembered. At that time, the absence was 12 games, waiting for some treatment that could improve his behavior. Obviously little change in player dynamics, which continued with some disciplinary problems.

After Wednesday’s game, Curry spoke at a press conference about the game situation and said: “We need him, and he knows it. We have to do everything to keep him on the right track, especially at this point of the season. It’s a very difficult way to start the game”.
