The duel between the grizzly bear and the timber wolf, to put it bluntly, the young people on both sides of the game are doing a good job, depending on which side has fewer mistakes and which side has the mentality to collapse first.
In terms of big scores, the Timberwolves are often the ones who collapse first.
In this series, the Grizzlies have three games to fall behind double digits in the third quarter, and finally reversed the victory, becoming the first team in the history of the league to overturn three times in a series.
A new generation of garbage brothers, Towns and Russell, don't lie to me.
As for why the Timberwolves don't play at the end of the quarter?
Quite simply, NBA players pay extra attention to physical strength distribution, and the intensity of the whole game is simply unrealistic, so the maximum intensity is generally left in the last quarter.
What are the Timberwolves doing when the Grizzlies are at the end of the section?
They were panicking. Except for Hanako's sudden aura, none of these wolf cubs could even serve as offensive arrows.
Especially 91 Tang, who was 60+ in a single game in the regular season, thought he had evolved, but when it came to the playoffs, the original form was revealed.
The brothers looked first at Downs' catch position, he liked to catch the ball high behind the free throw line, and in this position to catch the ball, there were three problems.
First, under the high-pressure defense, Towns is not strong in the ability to hold the ball, he can't play all the way from the high position to the basket, and the result of the strong surprise is a total of two, either passing the ball or being covered.
When an opponent knows you're going to pass, it's hard for teammates to get a free space.
Second, Downs's ability to respond is not strong enough, and the pass is too hesitant,
So much so that he received the ball in this position, unable to mobilize his teammates, and even made a series of mistakes.
Third, Towns is a shooter who prefers to shoot, and the moment he receives the ball, his first reaction is to shoot three points from the top.
On this point, the brothers who watched the game should be impressed. It was the last minute, and there was no brainless loss of three points.
In the playoffs, when your family's main interior line, do not dare to jam in the inside position, can not break the inside line to create damage, the main way to play is the outside line to receive the ball top people strong shot, other teammates are difficult to play.
Is the center shooting from the outside the whole time, and the defender is fighting for rebounds inside? The shooting job makes you do the center, what does the defender do?
It's good that the center will shoot, but it's a bad thing to lose your own interior singles ability in order to shoot.
In contrast, Hanako, McLaughlin, and Beverly all acted more like the team boss than he did.
When you want to score, people are really on it, and the ball is really on it.
As for Russell, you don't have the surname Ra, but you are really La.
Looking at Morant on the other side, first of all, it must be admitted that the no-mo bear is indeed more fluent than when Morant was present.
Morantra crotch back to pull crotch, but he and Towns have an essential difference, this young man whether it is a hat or an iron, people dare to kill the inside line to create damage, the key moment people take the ball to poke inside, you can attract the bag clip, teammates can get the perfect shooting opportunity.
Do you say Morant Pit? He didn't play well, but he did what Towns didn't — cutting off the opponent's defensive formation.
Coupled with the pure bandits of the Grizzlies, all muscle shooters, not only can fight, but also shoot three points.
Three-pointers, 0-of-5 from Morant, iron enough, right?
But it doesn't matter, he has Anderson 2 of 3, Jalen Jr. of 3 of 6, Dillon of 5 of 6, Jones of 4 of 9, Bane of 5 of 9,
On the one hand, the brothers do feel accurate, on the other hand, Morante does win a lot of vacancies for the brothers.
The Grizzlies advanced, and the next opponent was the Warriors led by Curry.
The Warriors are not Timberwolves, there will not be so many power outages or brainless mistakes, if Morant is still in this state, it is very difficult to play the Warriors.
How to pass this level next depends on the performance of the brothers in the new round.
In the end, the Grizzlies won 114-106 on the road to advance to the second round of the playoffs 4-2 on aggregate, and the next round of the Grizzlies was against the Golden State Warriors.
