Hi is in control of the rebounding ball and is in control of destiny.
Doing things again, and this time Green might really be punished heavily?
The Suns faced the Warriors at home, and at 8 minutes and 23 seconds in the third quarter, Suns center Nurkic and Warriors interior Green had a physical pull when they were stuck in the position, and Green turned around and gave Nurkic a punch directly when he grabbed the position, directly hitting the latter on the head. And this action happened directly in front of the referee's eyes, and then the whistle sounded immediately, the referee judged Green to foul at the first time, determined to escalate, and after a short video replay, the referee ruled that the second-degree vicious foul was made, and Green was expelled from the game immediately.
In the post-game discussions, the malicious foul was bound to be punished with a ban, and the result was true, with the league announcing the result of the punishment the next day as "indefinitely". (Indefinite ban).
According to relevant reporters, Green must be investigated during the suspension period and can only return to the court after meeting the testing conditions of Warriors officials and league agencies. In other words, if the time is short, then Green may return to the court after a few games through the test, or he may not pass the test at all, and then he will really be suspended indefinitely. What is certain is that Green has been suspended by the league, but the length of the ban is uncertain.
For this action, whether it is Green or the league, it is not too surprising that the outside world is facing a lot of doubts. Green has made a number of malicious moves, including a kick in the chest against Kings center Sabonis in Game 2 of the first round of the playoffs last season, and a choke lock on Gobert when the Warriors faced the Timberwolves on November 15, and the NBA mentioned that the penalty decision was based on Green's past unsportsmanlike behavior.
Whether it's a one-game ban at the time of Sabonis or a five-game ban at the Gobert case, these penalties seem lenient to the outside world, and even Gobert has to pay a fine as a victim in them, which makes people feel that the league has always been lenient towards Green or the Warriors.
Combined with the length of Green's suspension we mentioned above, if the league's indefinite ban on Green this time is still just a scratching punishment, then there is a high probability that it will still be the same as the previous two times, and it will not let fans feel the significance of the league's rules punishment at all.
In addition, the fact that players are not paid after the ban is a good thing to save money for the Golden State Warriors, whose team salaries have exceeded the luxury tax red line. According to salary experts, Green's suspension can save the Warriors more than $500,000 in taxes per game, while Green's own losses per game will vary with the length of time. If the number of games suspended is less than 20 games, Green's loss per game is about 150,000; If there are more than 20 games, the loss can reach more than 200,000 per game.
And after being ejected by the referee yesterday, Green took the initiative to apologize to Nurkic after the game, and did not be as straightforward as he was after locking Gobert last time, and even after the suspension, he said that he did not regret his actions. But regardless of the punishment last time, the reality is that this time he threw punches again, and with the above two times, it is equivalent to three malicious moves by Green in eight months, which the league cannot ignore in any way.
According to the punishment process of the 2004 Auburn Hills palace incident, Green needs to be investigated by the league, and will be followed by community service, emotional management coaching courses and Xi, and then he may return to the team after all the procedures are completed. The next step is to look at the results of the league's investigation and ultimately decide how long the ban will last. At the very least, it's certain that the Warriors have two home and two away games in the next week, and will have to face the Clippers, Nets, Trail Blazers, and Celtics, and the Warriors should face no Green in all four games.
