On April 17, Beijing time, the four games on the first game day of the NBA playoffs have all ended. In these four battles, 4 young people under the age of 23 played well, slashing 30+ to create league history, the most in a single day. I have to sigh: the youth storm has arrived. Of those four, Grizzlies star Ja Morante is a bit embarrassed.
First, let's talk about the game that just ended, the Warriors played at home against the Nuggets, and they beat their opponents by 16 points. In this battle, the most eye-catching is not the Splash Brothers, but Jordan Pooler, who played the playoffs for the first time, he became the third person in team history, shooting 9 of 13, 5 of 7 from three-point range, contributing 30 points and 3 assists, becoming the third player of the Warriors after Chamberlain and Richmond to cut 30+ in his debut.
Then came the Eastern Conference 76ers' battle against the Raptors, with the 76ers winning 131-111. Similar to the Warriors Poole's push on Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson, the young maxi's limelight has also overshadowed the two superstars James Harden and Joel Embiid. Maxi shot 14-of-21, 5-of-8 from three-point range, 5-of-5 from the free throw line, slashed 38 points and 4 rebounds, and was the number one contributor to the victory.
Then the eyes turned back to the west, where the Grizzlies and Timberwolves fought, and they were defeated by the opponents 117-130. Edwards exploded, playing 40 minutes, shooting 12-of-23, 4-of-11 from three-point range, 8-of-8 from the free throw line, contributing 36 points, 6 assists and 2 blocks. Coupled with Towns' 29 points and 13 rebounds, Beasley's 23 points, the Timberwolves double-doubled to bring down second place in the West.
The first three all won, and the fourth Morant was the losing side, so he was the most embarrassed. Although Morant scored 32 points and 8 assists, but the efficiency is not high, 8 of 18 shots, 2 of 2 three points, relying on 20 free throws to hit 16 goals to get 30+, after the game there are many voices saying that he destroyed the overall offensive rhythm of the Grizzlies, no he will be stronger and so on, Xiao Mo needs to prove himself in the follow-up game, wait and see.
