After the reversal of the Timberwolves, Morant's Grizzlies will meet Curry's Warriors in the semifinals, what will happen to this series? We do not go to the emotional evaluation, only in the "way of promotion" of the two teams carefully scrutinized, you will find that Curry is difficult to subdue Morant, and even the possibility of being eliminated.
First, the Warriors eliminated the Nuggets 4-1.
Curry led the Warriors to knock down the Nuggets with three points
Against the Nuggets series, the Warriors won in the offense, the reason is so defined: the Warriors' overall shooting rate of 51.5%, only inferior to the Suns; 42.2% of the three-point shooting rate averaged 15.2 three-pointers per game, ranking first and second on the playoff teams, respectively; so that the team's 121.9% offensive efficiency value averaged 118 points per game, both ranked first in the playoffs, that is to say, the Warriors relied on the insoluble offense to knock down the Nuggets, note that the Warriors' strong offense comes from three points, because in other details?
1. Inside score, the Warriors are averaging 44.8-48 per game behind the Nuggets, after all, there is a teacher opposite.
2. Fast attack percentage, the Warriors are 9-10.6 behind the Nuggets per game, after all, the Warriors' counterattack only has a sharp knife from Poole.
3. In the scoring-error ratio, the Warriors averaged 20-15.4 wins over the Nuggets per game, which was the Only Winning Point for the Warriors except for three-pointers.
So why can't the Nuggets hold back the Warriors' offense? About the lack of "right and left arms" Murray and Potter, even if Morris and Hylander are very hard, but the talent ceiling has its heart is powerless, so the Warriors can be gentlemanly sweep, on the basis of their own strength, the nuggets lineup is one of the objective factors, can the upcoming Grizzlies?
Second, the Grizzlies eliminated the Timberwolves 4-2.
Morant led the Grizzlies through the Timberwolves' interior
Sitting on the two titles and one eye, the Timberwolves can be defined by full talent, so the Grizzlies have a tough time, so how did they get through? 45.1% + 34.2% shooting rate ranked 10th and 11th in the round of 16, the offensive efficiency value is only 11.2 in the 10th place, the team can pass the level, relying on defense, reflected in the data side:
With a defensive efficiency value of 105.8, the Team pressed the Timberwolves' shooting rate to 44.1% + 38.8%, and the offensive efficiency value was only 105.8 The league's third-to-last, the Grizzlies are defensive victories. Without further ado, just a few words: G3 games, the Grizzlies twice trailed 25+, and finally reversed; after being equalized by the Timberwolves, the next two games the team entered the final quarter with a backward disadvantage, but both relied on tough defense to complete the reversal, which is the Grizzlies' defensive ability, of course, there are also external reasons for the Timberwolves' immaturity.
When the defense can contain the Timberwolves offense, the offensive end, the Grizzlies counterattack in the following way:
1. Inside scores, the Grizzlies averaged 53-39.7 to win 13 points per game.
2. Fast-on-offense percentage, the Grizzlies averaged 6.2 points per game to win the Timberwolves 15.7-9.5.
3. Score by mistake, the Grizzlies are averaging 22.7-17.2 points per game to win the Timberwolves by 5.5 points.
The interior offense is the cornerstone, and then the main focus on the counterattack, which is the key to the Grizzlies' ability to reverse the situation that the Grizzlies are far less than the Timberwolves (38.8%) in the three-point shooting rate of 34.2%, and are still behind in the final quarter of the three games.
Three, the Warriors and Grizzlies three data comparison.
Morant and Curry, who will lead the team to promotion?
Put the Warriors out of the Nuggets, the Grizzlies out of the Timberwolves, the two teams to round up the way they advanced, and then look at the two teams' upcoming Western Conference semifinals? The stark contrasts are as follows:
1. Inside scores, the Grizzlies 53-44.8 outperformed the Warriors, 3J Jackson, Clark, Tillman and Adams inside combination, against the Warriors Rooney and Green have height, offensive ability and collective advantage.
2. Fast-on-offense percentage, the Grizzlies are 15.7-9 better than the Warriors, and the cubs led by Morant are both young and talented.
3. Turnovers, the Grizzlies 22.7-20, although not an absolute advantage, is enough to confirm that their defense is not inferior to the Warriors.
So, in this series between the Warriors and the Grizzlies, the Warriors' advantage is that their three-point shots are more accurate, more, and more stable at key moments than the Timberwolves; they have an advantage in experience; while the Grizzlies, they have an advantage in the interior line, and they have the defensive hardness and depth that can match the Warriors. From a personal point of view, in line with the truth of "the insider wins the world", it is more optimistic about the Grizzlies promotion!
