On April 30, Beijing time, there is only one game on today's NBA playoff schedule, that is, the G6 battle between the Grizzlies and Timberwolves, and the Grizzlies who have previously won Tianwangshan have a good chance to reach the Western Conference semifinals. And the Grizzlies will also spare no effort to finally complete a big reversal in the final quarter of the game, facing the Timberwolves players who sit on home advantage and are very young and energetic, the Grizzlies have not lost, which is to highlight the Grizzlies' second hard strength in the West in the regular season, and Morant, as a player who has just entered the league for three years, has also played his own value.
After the game, everyone in the Grizzlies celebrated that they could go further in the playoffs after many years, and some media filmed a detail of Morant and Dillon's celebration. That is, the two of them stepped on the Timberwolves home LOGO directly twisted back to the locker room, although the Timberwolves had lost at that time, but there were still many home fans who stayed on the scene to watch, and Morant and Dillon's move undoubtedly angered a lot of Timberwolves fans, especially after the media reports, it annoyed many fans who did not like the Grizzlies.
After all, although Morant won the series, they should also have enough respect for their opponents, and deliberately stepping on the LGOO of other people's teams is not worth advocating. Of course, this is not to say that this matter should be exaggerated, after all, Morant is only a 22-year-old young man, he is also the first time to play such a good result and performance in the playoffs, and it is indeed normal for him and Dillon to celebrate their victory. It also reflects the youthful vitality of the Grizzlies as a team, who are not afraid of other people's eyes, but are just enjoying their own games.
However, judging from the performance of this series, the Timberwolves have won the love of most fans, because the Timberwolves were not a promising team from the beginning, although they had All-Star players such as Towns and Edwards and Russell, but their record was only seventh in the West. On the other hand, the Grizzlies have the second-best record in the West, and Morant and others have a different kind of attention in the league, which leads to the Grizzlies having a lot of advantages from the surface, and it is not easy for the Timberwolves to win 2 games in this series.
Many people after watching this series believe that the Timberwolves will continue to grow in the coming seasons, because Edwards is still in a period of ascension, and he will undoubtedly become the timberwolves' next superstar. Morant's performance in this series is actually not particularly good, averaging only 21.5 points plus 8.7 rebounds and 10.5 assists per game. As a scoring-focused defender, Morant struggled with scoring, not as skilled as Edwards in many cases, and could score with physical talent alone.
Morant and Dillon's behavior is also reminiscent of the imitation of Nowitzki's cough between James and Wade, and this degrading behavior will still have some retribution once it appears in the league. So now that the Grizzlies have only won the first round of the playoffs, they still have a long way to go to win the final championship, and hopefully Morant and Dillon will be able to prepare for the next series after celebrating their promotions, otherwise it will only be a matter of time before they lose to the stronger teams.
