After the game, Grizzlies coach Taylor Jenkins gave an interview to the media about the fourth quarter reversal and winning, Jenkins said: "The first two rounds set the tone for us, during the suspension, our exchange was about strengthening the defense and defending the opponent when needed. ”
Jenkins said that the fourth quarter can reverse the opponent, mainly the first two rounds played well, set the tone for the team's victory, the key is to make a tactical deployment during the timeout, everyone exchanged how to surround the Timberwolves' oppressive defense, but also to defend the opponent, at this point made tactical adjustments, ideological unity, which is the key to winning the game.
So what really happened in the fourth quarter, when the third quarter ended, the Grizzlies fell behind 74-84 into the fourth quarter, the Grizzlies came up with two three-point shots in a row, from 10 points behind to 4 points behind, this is Jenkins said that the first two rounds set the tone for the game, after that, the two sides came and went, launched a street battle, Jones and Bane in the situation of Morant being surrounded by each other, two people stepped forward, both of them shot the horse, Jones a throw, another three-point knife fall, And Bane is 2 consecutive three-pointers through The Yang, the fourth quarter of the Grizzlies hit a total of 6 three-pointers, can be described as artillery fire, the offensive fire is very fierce, the efficiency is very high, the Timberwolves have no strength to resist, the Grizzlies won with a drum.
Secondly, to talk about Morant, this game compared to the previous game, Morant played more difficult, surrounded by the Timberwolves, layer by layer, as long as Morant took the ball by more than two players to pack, as long as Morant broke through, the Timberwolves almost three players surrounded, the Timberwolves defense strategy of Morante is not to give him space, not to leave morant, the result of Morant only 4 points in the first half, fortunately, this guy is young, physically good, offensive means, to the second half, to the second half, Morant took advantage of the Timberwolves' physical decline, when the defense was lax, constantly attacked the basket, repeatedly worked, and it was 2+1, and it was a throw, and it was looking back at the moon, and there were three points in the account, eighteen weapons were proficient, and he showed his fists, and in the second half, Morant cut 13 points, especially at the last minute, Morant's 6-point shot was also the key, although he did not score high, but he connected his teammates and revitalized the team through assists, so Morant is still one of the key elements of victory.
In addition, the Grizzlies defense of Edwards in the second half was successful, the Grizzlies' defense against Edwards in the first half was full of holes, it can be said that it was a failure, Edwards hit quite a high shooting rate in the first half, he shot 4 three-pointers at halftime, especially in the first quarter Edwards hit 3 three-pointers, and once a breakthrough layup, Edwards scored 16 points in the single quarter, Edwards scored 20 points in the first half, which was the main reason for the Grizzlies to fall behind in the first half, but in the second half, the Grizzlies changed their defensive strategy against Edwards. Not only is there a special defense, but also the auxiliary defense and supplementary defense are also in place, especially the first line of defense with the body to resist, stubbornly entangled, the result of Edwards in the second half only 10 points, and finally defended the Timberwolves' first fire point, which is the key to the Grizzlies' victory.
All in all, the Grizzlies in the first half were slow and hot, sluggish, especially Morant was packed, could not be opened, changed the strategy in the second half, wrapped Edwards, while Morant found the feel, rushed out of the encirclement, and finally defeated the Timberwolves, the Grizzlies advanced to the next round, will meet a more powerful opponent, look forward to the Grizzlies to continue to work hard, a hundred feet further, Morant must be good to Curry.
