Warriors Grizzlies 5 are absent from G1! The Splash Brothers lead the team to Memphis to win the championship odds at the top
On May 1, Beijing time, the 2021-22 NBA playoffs continued. According to the schedule, the Warriors and the Grizzlies will play the first leg of the Western Conference Semifinals tomorrow, and the Grizzlies will sit at home. In the first round of the series, the Warriors eliminated the Nuggets 4-1 and the Grizzlies eliminated the Timberwolves 4-2.
Earlier today, the Warriors released player registration photos, and Curry, Thompson, Green, Wiggins and others appeared. It can be seen that the Warriors team is very excited about the upcoming division semifinals, Curry is posing exaggerated poses to the camera, and Green and Looney are also very excited. The coolest man was Thompson, who today wore a white jacket with a milkshake in his left hand and popcorn in his right, and black sunglasses that looked blank at the camera.
It is worth mentioning that there is a long relationship between the Warriors and the Grizzlies. In the 2015 Western Conference Semifinals, the Warriors briefly trailed the Grizzlies 1-2, then won three consecutive games to advance and eventually won the NBA championship that season. In last year's Western Conference playoffs, the Warriors were eliminated by the Grizzlies and missed the playoffs. This, coupled with Iguodala's refusal to play after being traded to the Grizzlies, led to a lot of feuds between the two teams.
In addition, the Grizzlies released the team's latest injury report, Zaire Williams (sore right knee) is in doubt (50% chance of playing); Tilly (recovery from lower back surgery), Aldama (sore right knee) and Adams (health and safety agreement) will miss this game. On the Warriors side, in addition to Wiseman, who is reimbursed for the season, veteran Iguodala will not be able to play tomorrow's G1!
Commenting on the upcoming series, Warriors coach Kerr said: "We really don't feel like we have opponents, we see the Grizzlies as a young team that is on the rise and full of talent, and trying to beat them is a huge challenge." ”
In the current championship odds, the Warriors beat the Suns and Celtics to the first place!
