After a big win at home, the second-placed Grizzlies in the West will fight back-to-back with the Third Place Green Army in the East to compete in the final battle of the regular season.
In terms of the Grizzlies, Morant and many other main players are holding up the exemption card, and whether the Grizzlies can defend the home field will undoubtedly face great challenges and tests.
On the other hand, on the side of the Green Army, Tatum + Horford ushered in a comeback, and the Green Army also seized the last opportunity to train troops, ready to launch a final attack to the second place in the east!
Finally, after four quarters of playing, with a wave of 17-2 scoring climax, the green army, which was dominated by guests, easily suppressed the Grizzlies in the first half and achieved a huge advantage of 23 points.
Coupled with the return of the second half, Jaylen Brown ushered in the outbreak in the third quarter, and the Green Army took advantage of the chase to expand the point difference to 25 points in one fell swoop, which also made the final quarter early into garbage time.
In the end, the Green Army, which was full of enthusiasm, also won the Grizzlies 139-110 on the road, which was worth the trip and also gave the opponent Grizzlies a 29-point defeat!
In this game, the Green Army can be described as all soldiers, playing a 6-man scoring double-double, multi-point blossoming team offensive, and winning a 29-point victory.
In the case of smart + Horford + Thesis and other main forces, each performing their duties, the two main players Tatum + Jaylen Brown played a crucial leading role!
In this game, Tatum was full of firepower, starting 25 minutes, shooting nearly 80% of the 11-of-14 shooting, and shooting 6 three-pointers from the outside line, bombing a game-high 31 points, plus 9 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal.
Among them, his heroic performance of scoring 26 points in the entire first half not only helped the Green Army to open up the situation smoothly, but also laid a solid foundation for the team to win a big victory!
Of course, the Green Army was able to beat the Grizzlies in this game, and the performance of the core of the team, Jaylen Brown, also played a crucial role.
Jaylen Brown was very efficient, starting 22 minutes, shooting 2 three-pointers on 8-of-16 shooting, and contributing 18 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists.
And in the third quarter, he single-handedly broke through the single quarter to cut down 10 points of the key play, but also led the Green Army to quickly open the score gap, only playing three quarters to end the suspense of the game!
More importantly, after the victory over the Grizzlies in this game, the Green Army's regular season record was finally locked at 51 wins and 31 losses, officially surpassing the Bucks in ranking and rising to second place in the East.
And we have to admit that although the performance of the Green Army at the beginning of the season was not outstanding, under the leadership of Tatum + Jaylen Brown, this tenacious Green Army has become a team that cannot be underestimated in the East!
At the same time, it is worth mentioning that after the First World War, the top four competitions in the east, which once tended to be white-hot, were finally determined, namely: East One Heat, East Two Green Army, East Three Bucks and East Four 76 People!
On the other hand, on the Grizzlies' side, the team was completely crushed at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends of this game, and finally swallowed the 29-point rout, which obviously made it difficult for home fans to accept.
But rationally speaking, for the Grizzlies, who lack major generals, this battle, the team is not completely without highlights!
After all, in the absence of main players such as Morant + Bain at the same time, the play of Conchar + Aldama in this game is indeed remarkable.
In this campaign, Conchar was good in attack and defense, starting 38 minutes, and delivered a triple-double performance of 17 points, 13 rebounds + 10 assists + 2 steals + 1 block on 7-of-11 shooting.
And in this game against the Green Army, Aldama also played well, scoring a team-high 20 points, plus 10 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals!
Although it failed to help the Grizzlies defend their home stadium, there is one thing to say, the excellent performance of Konchal + Aldama in this game is indeed a big gain for the Grizzlies in the depth of the lineup!
