Anxious, obviously the Grizzlies are in a hurry. In the G2 battle, the Grizzlies were eager to swallow the Timberwolves directly at once, and they were eager to beat the Timberwolves by 50 points in a single game. I have to say that there is one thing that is very good for young teams, that is, "revenge must be repaid". Beverley's previous wave of taunts had just finished, and then the Grizzlies began to take revenge. How fierce is the Grizzlies' revenge? With 15 players on the squad, 13 players and 10 playing for more than 16 minutes, Grizzlies head coach Jenkins was eager to go straight up and smoke the two big-eared scrapers on the other side, and then kick their butts hard. The Grizzlies are back to the feeling of the regular season, with balanced offense and defense, extremely energetic playing, and G1 are two teams at all.
Of course, timber wolves are not vegetarians, but they do not eat meat. The best played by the whole team is Still Edwards, Edwards this young man has a saying that one is indeed worth cultivating, regardless of whether the game is won or lost, first of all, the attitude of people playing is placed there, and it is not that he can't win the ball is not that he has not worked hard enough. Russell, on the other hand, embodies his weak ring in this round of the playoffs, that is, he can't break the Grizzlies' defense. The Grizzlies' defense on the outside is almost comparable to the Bucks' outside, russell himself is not a very physically talented player, he is strong in rhythm and projection and the big picture, but these things are very solid in the face of talent.
As soon as Russell's point slumped, it meant that the Timberwolves' offense came to a standstill. No one passes, no one organizes, what do the Timberwolves do with the Grizzlies? Limiting Russell has also become a major defensive strategy for the Grizzlies. As for Downs in the Big Three, Yuzu sister only wants to say one sentence: "This round of playoff performance, Downs's play is clean like a blank piece of paper." "The double-double stats of 15 points and 11 rebounds are pretty good, but Towns scored nine points in the first quarter, and there was almost no voice in the game later, and the only aspect of his existence in the back was only two, one was a mistake, the other was foul.
It's not that Towns can't take this two-double statistic, it's that Towns needs to do more. You Downs is not the Warriors' mouth brother, mouth brother to take a double double is a task, because the team still has three super scorers, mouth brother can take this kind of data. But you Towns is different, in a way, Towns is the boss of the Timberwolves this season, and the 24.6 points per game in the regular season is not covered. In G1, Towns scored 29 points and single-handedly blew up the Grizzlies' interior line. But the G2 game, 27 minutes to deliver 5 turnovers and 5 fouls, it is not enough to watch.
The Grizzlies have eased up, Morant finally knows what it's like to win, and the Grizzlies are slowly looking for the kind of play in the regular season. Attack from attack to defense, the Grizzlies began to improve the quality of their game, the Grizzlies are playing normally, but the Timberwolves can't keep up with the rhythm, the gap in the game directly comes out, and before it is done, the point difference is nearly 30 points. Timberwolves and Grizzlies are not without a fight, but the Timberwolves need the big three to play, less than one can't do, especially Towns, the advantage of the inside line can not play out, the Timberwolves have no absolute advantage point. Fortunately, it's a 1-1 draw, and to some extent, the Timberwolves have taken the lead.
