This wait lasted two days.
At 10 a.m. on May 27, after repeated discussions among the league’s top brass, the penalty report on the brawl came out.
"Wang Zelin was suspended for one game and fined 25,000 meters in gold!"
"Patrick Beverley was suspended for three games and fined 20,000 yuan!"
"Draymond Green was suspended for five games and fined 50,000 meters in gold!"
"Both teams also failed to fulfill their responsibilities in supervising and protecting the players. Each team was fined 100,000 yuan!"
Cumulatively, the fines incurred due to this incident reached a total of 295,000 meters in gold, which can be ranked among the top ten in history.
This is enough to show the alliance's anger over this incident.
As expected, when the penalty report was announced, the outside world was in an uproar.
Suspensions attract more attention and generate greater controversy than fines.
Both the Trail Blazers and Warriors immediately protested to the league, saying they could not accept such a result.
When Warriors coach Kerr learned that Green had been suspended for five games, he cursed on the spot.
Such a penalty means that unless the Warriors can advance to the finals, Green will be retired early this season.
Coach Terry was also furious. Wang Zelin's suspension would be devastating to the Trail Blazers.
The Trail Blazers were able to survive all the way through the meet and become invincible because of Wang Zelin's white jade pillar.
Unfortunately, the league did not accept the protests from the two teams, and the players from both teams could only save their anger until tonight's G6 game in the Western Conference Finals.
As far as this game is concerned, the Warriors are undoubtedly the more advantageous side. They just lost Draymond Green and a main force, while the Trail Blazers directly lacked their star.
For fans of both sides, they felt that the other side's ban was too little.
However, this number of suspended games reflects the level of the league's top management.
Because it can be explained, after all, it was Green who made the first move, and Wang Zelin and Beverley were the counterattackers.
Of course, what's more important is that Wang Zelin was suspended for one game.
In this way, the greatly weakened Trail Blazers are likely to be dragged to the tiebreaker by the Warriors.
That's a tiebreaker, who doesn't like to see it!
Therefore, if the Blazers lose in G6 and Wang Zelin comes back in G7, he will definitely vent all his anger.
As for the back bone injury? Stop making trouble. When Bald Hua realized what he was doing, how could he not understand that some pioneers had just resorted to a cruel trick?
He simply used his plan to delay Wang Zelin's comeback, and then brewed the ultimate war!
Of course, in order to balance the strengths of both sides, he also suspended Beverley, the starting center in the Blazers' unlimited defense system, for three games.
Without Beverley, how can the Blazers have unlimited defense changes?
In the same way, without Green, how can the Warriors die?
Now, it depends on whether the Warriors can win G6.
As long as the Warriors can win, the tiebreaker of the Western Conference Finals is destined to be an unprecedented and exciting showdown!
…
Just as fans were discussing the league's penalty report, the G3 game between the Cavaliers and Raptors in the Eastern Conference also ended the day before.
After coming to Toronto at home, DeRozan was finally stunned. He scored 32 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals and 1 block. His performance was extremely versatile.
The key is that in the second half when his strength was needed, this guy was finally able to provide output.
In the second half, he made 4 of 10 shots. Although his shooting rate was average, he finally showed the offensive aggression that a star should have.
In addition, Lowry scored 20 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists, DeMarre Carroll scored 10 points and 4 rebounds, and Bismack Biyombo turned into a rebounding maniac...26 rebounds in a single game!
Broke the Raptors' personal playoff single-game rebounding record!
He was also named the best player after the game.
Joseph and Parsons on the bench, one with 14 points and 5 rebounds, and the other with 10 points and 6 rebounds, both performed well.
For the Cavaliers, James made 9 of 17 shots, 24 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals, and performed quite well.
Irving performed poorly, scoring only 13 points on 3 of 19 shots; Cousins' performance was about the same as him, with 11 points and 8 rebounds. As one of the giants, he also made a big difference.
On the contrary, J.R. Smith, the sword-wielding guard in front of the emperor, made seven of 16 shots, 6 of 15 three-pointers, and 2 of 2 free throws. He scored 22 points and 5 rebounds. Unfortunately, he could not be the savior.
The rest of the Cavaliers players didn't perform very well.
In the end, the Cavaliers lost to the Raptors for the first time in the series 84:99 on the road, with the score between the two sides reaching 2-1.
If the Raptors team can still perform such a strong performance in the next game, it's hard to say who will make it out of the Eastern Conference.
…
At 20:00 on the evening of the 27th, the game started at Oracle Arena.
Before the game, the Trail Blazers held a tactical meeting.
After discussions with the coaching staff, Jokic took over Wang Zelin's starting center position, and the other four starting positions also changed.
After all, Wang Zelin is temporarily unable to play, and the Trail Blazers' unlimited defense system is missing one of the core components, so naturally it cannot be used.
Therefore, Coach Terry could only put forward the regular starting lineup.
Before the game, the starting lineups of both sides were announced.
Trail Blazers: Lillard, Patton, Connett Lee, Aldridge, Jokic.
Warriors: Curry, Thompson, Barnes, Speights, BoGt.
Without a defensive backbone like Green, the Warriors' five young players couldn't play well, and they also changed their starting lineup.
Barkley analyzed at this time: "Wang has been suspended for one game and cannot play in G6. Tonight is the best time for the Warriors to make a comeback! If they are allowed to advance to the tiebreaker, no one can predict the trend of this series."
O'Neal couldn't help but sigh: "This series is too tragic and tragic! No one expected so many things to happen."
"Yes, this may be the craziest Western Conference Finals matchup in the past decade, and it is destined to be recorded in history." Weber said immediately.
After the game started, the Trail Blazers quickly collapsed.
In the past four years, this should be the first time the Trail Blazers have played without Wang Zelin in the playoffs, and all players are very uncomfortable.
Lillard paid tribute to the old blacksmith of Milan in all aspects tonight. He made 8 of 24 shots, 3 of 13 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 21 points. His efficiency was so poor that it was almost invisible.
Aldridge made 8 of 14 shots in the first three quarters and scored 23 points and 7 rebounds, helping the Trail Blazers barely hold on to the score and not fall behind by double digits.
But in the final quarter, as the Warriors began to adopt a double-teaming strategy against him, it became increasingly difficult for Aldridge to score. He made 2 of 7 in the final quarter and only scored 5 points.
Apart from the two of them, only Jokic scored in double figures for the Trail Blazers tonight, but his efficiency was average. He made 6 of 13 shots and scored 15 points and 11 rebounds.
Under the leadership of Curry, the Warriors had a crucial G6 game. After leading by 4 points in the first quarter, the snowball effect began. They kept playing steadily, and finally defeated the Trail Blazers by 18 points, 115:97.
Curry played 36 minutes, making 16 of 31 shots and scoring a game-high 37 points, 3 rebounds, 6 assists, 4 steals and 1 block. Two of the steals were passed by Lillard.
After this game, the series score between the two sides was tied at 3-3.
Next, it’s time to play tiebreaker!
