On April 30, Beijing time, the Timberwolves and the Grizzlies ushered in the first round of the playoffs G6 showdown, in fact, in the G5 Tianwang Mountain, the Timberwolves once had the opportunity to win on the road, but unfortunately they were finally killed by Morant's high-difficulty layup, and the Timberwolves finally lost with 2 points, and today's life and death battle, the Timberwolves naturally do not want to end the fight, but in the end it is still a failure, 106-114 defeated opponents, the total score of 2-4 was eliminated by the Grizzlies.
The Timberwolves dropped the chain in the final quarter and were reversed by the Grizzlies, stopping the first round of the playoffs
This G6 back to their home target center, the Timberwolves are also full of energy to win this key victory in front of the home fans, the first three quarters of the Timberwolves have maintained a single quarter lead, the maximum lead score once came to 13 points, the result of the last quarter of the Grizzlies suddenly forced, hit the Timberwolves a 40-22 shock wave, but also let the Minnesota soldiers hard to establish a lead edge disappeared, suddenly by the opponent's wave of streams, the Wolf cubs who had no playoff experience, obviously panicked, In the end, he could only watch the Grizzlies step over their "corpses" and successfully reach the semifinals, meeting the Golden State Warriors.
Reversed professional household, the Timberwolves suffered 3 big scores in 6 games in the playoffs and were reversed by the Grizzlies
Timberwolves, who entered the playoffs as the seventh seed, faced the Grizzlies in the first round, although they ranked second in the West in the regular season, but like the Timberwolves, the Grizzlies who have just completed the reconstruction do not have much playoff experience, winning 2 consecutive games in the playoffs last season, and finally entering the playoffs as the eighth seed in the West, losing 1-4 to the Western Dragon Jazz in the first round, so when two young teams that do not have much playoff experience meet together, it depends on who can make fewer mistakes and who is expected to advance. In the first game of the playoffs, the Timberwolves who were visiting Memphis at the time took the lead 130-117 and won the first win, but in the second game the Timberwolves suddenly collapsed in the second quarter, and finally lost to the Grizzlies 96-124, and the total score was equalized by the opponent.
I thought that this big score loss would make the Minnesota soldiers lose their morale, but they did not think that in the next few games, the Timberwolves had a big lead in the course of the game, and the third game of the Timberwolves once led by as many as 26 points, but collapsed in the final quarter, the single quarter was beaten by the Grizzlies a 37-12, and finally lost 95-104, the fourth game relied on Edwards, Towns successively hit key free throws, the Timberwolves won by 1 point, equalizing the total score. In the crucial battle of Tianwangshan, the Timberwolves once gained a 13-point lead, which made people see the hope of winning, and the result was the same as the previous reversed plot, they were weak in the last quarter, and were killed by Morant at the last moment, losing by 2 points.
Paying for school for the young, the Timberwolves really don't have to learn their lessons in the coming year
As a result, today's game, the Timberwolves have not yet learned the previous bloody lesson, once again in the case of a 13-point lead, once again fell into the spell of being reversed, watching the upcoming victory give way, losing the opportunity to drag the game into the seventh, and finally ended up in the first round out of the dilemma. For the Minnesota generals, this regrettable first round of the playoffs is indeed regrettable, but this may be the tuition that young people need to pay, and I hope that this bloody lesson can make the Timberwolves once again enter the playoffs next year to change such a reversed bad problem, and truly become a strong team that can fight a hard battle.
