Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green is a flagrant two points away from an automatic one-game suspension after committing a flagrant 2 foul on Memphis Grizzlies big man Brandon Clarke in Game 1 of their series. second round.
However, the four times All-Star he says it won’t affect his focus in the future.
“I’m never going to change the way I play basketball,” Green told reporters Monday, according to ESPN’s Kendra Andrews. “He has brought Me here. He has given me three championships, four All-Stars, Defensive Player of the Year. I’m not going to change now.”
Green’s defensive physique has burned him in the past. The two-time All-NBA selection was suspended for Game 5 of the 2016 NBA Finals after recording his flagrant fourth point of the postseason. Golden State dropped out of the contest Green missed out on, and that loss sparked the Cleveland Cavaliers’ historic 3-1 championship comeback.
While Stephen Curry doesn’t expect Green to alter his style of play, he does expect his teammate to be more cautious.
“Unfortunately, yes, he has to be aware of that,” Curry said. “Only he can tell you what that means to him and how he approaches each game. I want him to be himself and make the plays that he is capable of making and impact the game, be demonstrative, be the Draymond that we expect. But he may “be in a situation where the interpretation of the rules goes against him.”
