On April 30, Beijing time, the Grizzlies in the G6 with the Timberwolves, in the case of a 13-point trail behind the opponent, finally completed the reversal, narrowly defeated the Timberwolves 114-106, eliminated the opponent by a total score of 4-2, and entered the semifinals, and what awaited them in the semifinals was the Golden State Warriors who were squeezed to the third place in the West in the regular season.
The Grizzlies Warriors semifinals poster did not have Bane, which attracted fans to discuss and fight for him
After the Grizzlies officially locked the semifinal tickets, the US media also posted the poster of the Warriors and the Grizzlies meeting in the semifinals for the first time, and as a result, there was no Bane on this poster, the Warriors side was led by the three core leaders of Curry, Klay and Dream, while the representative players on the Grizzlies side were Morant, Jalan Jackson Jr. and Dillon Brooks, as the big hero who helped the Grizzlies eliminate the Timberwolves to reach the semifinals, Bane was directly ignored, which also caused a lot of dissatisfaction from the fans, and some fans directly left a message: Bain is the best player, is this picture going to get things done? And then another fan echoed: "Agree so much, without Bane, the Grizzlies would have gone home long ago!" ”
Repeatedly saving the team in key moments, and the Grizzlies' top scorer in the playoffs, Bane should not be ignored
Today's game, the Grizzlies can once trail by 13 points, in the away game difficult to complete the reversal, Bane is definitely a well-deserved hero, in the end of the game Bane received a pass from Dillon, hit the key three-pointer, successfully helped the Grizzlies to equalize the score, the whole game ended, Bane in the 43 minutes of playing time, 15 shooting 9, 9 of 3-pointers, cut and Dillon tied for the team's highest 23 points with 7 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal and 1 block, both ends of the attack and defense have excellent performance, With Morant stuck in the playing iron mode (only 17 points on 4-of-14), if it wasn't for Bane, the Grizzlies might have actually lost this game, thus being dragged into the seventh game by the Timberwolves.
Although Morant is the well-deserved backcourt core of the Grizzlies in the regular season, his performance in the first round of the playoff series is not stable, and he can indeed average 21.5 points, 8.7 rebounds and 10.5 assists per game, but the three shooting rates are as low as 38.6%, 20% and 71.2%, respectively, compared with the "Bear King" who killed all four in the regular season, it is exactly like a different person. But in contrast, Bain, in these 6 games, has been able to maintain a stable performance, averaging a team-high 23.5 points, 4.3 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 0.8 steals and 1.2 blocks, and the three shooting rates are as high as 49.5%, 48.2% and 90% respectively. If he hadn't braced himself on the offensive end and repeatedly hit key balls in key moments, the Grizzlies would have lost those few games that were big and backward, eliminated by the Timberwolves, and suffered a first round trip.
Again ignored with motivation, Bane may continue to prove himself in the semi-finals
As the Grizzlies' number one offensive player in the playoffs, the semifinal poster posted by the US media directly ignored Bane, which is indeed a bit unreasonable, and I hope that Bane can see it as a driving force to continue to move forward, just like in the regular season, he did not win the final best progress award, and used practical actions to punch these series of contemptuous moves against himself. If he can really lead the Grizzlies over the mountain of warriors, I believe that in the poster of the western finals, he will not only have a chance to appear on the cover, but even directly get the care of the C position.
