Tell the truth with a big mouth, and a fine of 50,000! Green publicly questioned: The referees are controlling points!

NBA Operations President Byron Sproul personally announced that Warriors forward Drummond Green was fined $50,000 by the league for publicly questioning the referee's fairness during the game.

Looking back on the process, it happened in the third game of the Western Conference Semi-Finals, when the Warriors played against the Timberwolves at home. This battle is already very difficult. Curry is absent due to a first-degree strain on his left hamstring. The Warriors lack the offensive core, and the pressure on the whole team doubles. The game process was indeed stalemate. In the end, the Warriors lost to the Timberwolves 97-102, and fell behind in the series.

Zhu Meng Green's speech appeared when there were 4 minutes and 32 seconds left in the final quarter. At this time, he left early because of his six fouls, and handed out thin data of 2 points, 2 rebounds, 4 assists and 5 turnovers. In the last 15.2 seconds before the end of the game, the Warriors came back to prepare for the last attack. At this time, Zhu Meng Green stood on the sidelines and shouted at the referee:

"The gap is 5.5 points, I know what you are doing!" This sentence instantly ignited the controversy, and the meaning was also very obvious. Green alluded to the referee and even the league manipulated the game results by controlling points, and the number 5.5 is very likely to correspond to the handicap difference in the game in the gambling market.

What makes people laugh and cry is that at the last moment of the game, Kumingga made a three-pointer that almost won and lost, and this goal just pulled the score difference to within 5 points, which seemed to fulfill the words of Zhu Meng Green.

However, this kind of remark undoubtedly hit the bottom line of the league. The NBA has always been highly sensitive to the fairness of the game. Once a player publicly accused the game of being manipulated, it will be considered a serious violation regardless of factual basis. After the game, the league immediately intervened in the investigation and quickly issued a fine of $50,000.

Interestingly, this is not the first time that Zhu Meng has been punished for his remarks. As the famous whine king in the league, he can always create topics on and off the court, but this speech is likely to be the product of emotions overwhelming reason. After all, the team's record is poor, he himself played in a sluggish manner, and was sent off at a critical moment. It is not surprising that he would say such a harsh truth in his internal and external troubles
