On April 29, Beijing time, the first round of the NBA playoffs continued to unfold, and 4 teams have advanced to the next round, and the next 4 groups of duels may be played to the seventh. But today, the league's big dark horse Grizzlies suffered a blow, and the team's tough player Adams triggered the league's health and safety agreement and will miss the G6 game.
The Grizzlies' performances this season have been a surprise to everyone, and even in Morant's absence, their record has been outstanding. It can also be seen from this that they do not rely on individual ability, the team system is based on the team, everyone can contribute, when Morant falls, the team and Bain, Brooks, Clark, and even Melton on the bench can stand up and take points. But after entering the playoffs, the young team still exposed the problem of inexperience.
The first round against the Timberwolves was still very good, the opponents are also very young, and their talent is even stronger than the Grizzlies. Since neither team was very experienced, it also led to a very sticky series, and the last game Grizzlies won the King Mountain with Morant's excellent performance, leading 3-2. However, in the next game, the Grizzlies are in trouble again, and inside lineman Adams will miss the game. The Grizzlies have officially updated the team's injury report, and the team's center Adams triggered a health and safety agreement and will miss this game.
Although Adams did not get any playing time in this series, his absence also made the team's depth disappear, and if the inside line got into foul trouble, there would be no one to use. Adams couldn't keep up with his opponents in this series, and the team excluded him from the rotation, playing only 3 games and averaging 10.2 minutes per game.
Don't look at the current Grizzlies 3-2 lead, but their advantage is not obvious, the Timberwolves still have a chance to drag the series into the seventh. In addition to Adams' absence, the Grizzlies' Zaire Williams was placed on the most likely no-miss list with a knee injury. It's up to the Timberwolves to take their chances, after all, the G6 is playing at their home.
