The Timberwolves, who played at home in G6, still failed to compete for the opportunity to "grab the seven", and could only watch the Grizzlies advance.
The "youth showdown" between the Grizzlies and timberwolves also came to an end, and in the end, Morant led the team to laugh to the end.
At this point, the first round of the NBA is all over, and the list of divisional semifinals is also all released.
The overall feeling is that there is no big surprise in the first round of duels, after all, even the exciting script of grabbing seven has not been staged, plus the story of "following grams" has not happened.
Although there are not many thrilling score pictures in the whole first round series, there are still many plots about the kills.
There were 5 kills in the first round, some indirectly determining the direction of the series, and some inconsequential, after all, the absolute side is out.
In the first round of the NBA, there were 8 groups of competitions, only 1 group played 4 games to divide the winners and losers, 4 groups played 6 games to see the score, and the remaining 3 groups played 5 games.
Among them, 5 kills basically run through it, and the only group that sweeps can be said to accelerate the trend of the game.
It is undeniable that every kill, at least to determine the outcome of a game, is also of some significance.
The first to stage a deadly kill was Celtic star Tatum, who made a series start with a turn-around layup.
In the final minute of the Celtics and Nets G1, Irving gave the team a three-point lead with three-pointers.
The Celtics first chased back two points by An easy layup by Brown, and then used defense to form a strong shot that was almost 24 seconds out of the law.
The final moments were naturally Tatum, using a misplaced defense to face Irving to complete a turnaround basket to kill the opponent.
The Celtics, the No. 2 in the East, face the No. 7 Nets, and before the series even starts, everyone is looking forward to the "Black Seven" good play.
Tatum used the kill to rewrite the big score from 0-1 to 1-0, which has to be said to determine the trend of the entire series to a certain extent, and even affect the ownership of the Eastern Conference and the NBA championship.
The Celtics, the first defensive team in the league, used Tatum to limit Durant properly, and G1's kill was a big heart-level goal, and the situation in the playoffs was really difficult to say.
Three days after Tatum killed his opponent, Embiid used a way he wasn't very good at — three-pointers, the Raptors.
The killing was not easy to come by, and the process could be described as a series of twists and turns.
Embiid was first forced to a position near the midline, and on almost 24 seconds of foul play, head coach Rivers used a timeout to get a tactical opportunity to lay out.
Then Embiid picked up his teammates' sideline serves and completed a three-point shoot to help the team take a big 3-0 lead.
In fact, before embiid's kill, the team had several chances to kill in the last minute of regular time, but Lady Luck came a little later and finally took care of it.
Interestingly, although Embiid led the team to win the series, the process was not as easy as his opponents, almost dragged into the "seven-time battle", and he suffered frequent injuries.
I wonder how Embiid is recovering now? His form will determine the team's fate in this year's playoffs.
Two days after Embiid's rivals were still in the East, the Hawks Trae Young killed the Heat and successfully defended the home field.
The Eagles, who returned home in the G3 game, played average and were suppressed for most of the time, even if they played in the last 5 seconds, they were still one point behind.
It was Trae Young, facing a multiplayer defense, who completed the kill with a throw, chasing the series to 1-2.
Probably eliminated by the final result 1-4, the Eagles he led did not play well, compared to last season's Eastern Conference Finals results are also unsatisfactory.
The team's defeat coupled with poor personal data overall is an overall assessment of this year's Trae Young.
Admittedly, who has not grown up since he entered this league?
Just by daring to face the Heat's multi-person defense and take on the team responsibility with a throwing and accurate kill, Trae Young is worthy of the status of a star this season.
A day later, there was a deadly script on the Western side, and Gobert used an air dunk to kill the Lone Rangers, which was very similar to the fate of the Eastern Hawks and Trae Young.
In the final moments of the Jazz and Lone Rangers G4, the Lone Rangers failed to extend their lead with a 1-point lead.
As a result, the Jazz found a great offensive opportunity, and Mitchell found a nearly empty Gobert, who easily took a dunk and helped the team to rebound by one point.
The Jazz, who won the G4, drew the score to 2-2, but they could not imagine that the "Battle of Tennozan" would be one-sided, and the team hardly resisted much, and finally got out in G6.
The Jazz, who stopped the first round, were most questioned by Mitchell and Gobert, who completed the quasi-kill, of course, they "deserved it".
According to the team's regular season rankings, the West lost no. 5 to No. 4, and it was not too surprising that it failed to complete the "following gram", but there were many opportunities in the whole series, including Doncic's absence, and even G6 missed a three-pointer in the last minute.
I just don't know what kind of future Mitchell and Gobert will lead the Jazz to play?
The final protagonist of the first round, and the last team to qualify for the Grizzlies, Morant used a gliding lever to make a layup.
When the Grizzlies, the 2nd in the West, and the Timberwolves in 7, fought the "Battle of Tenno Mountain," most of them envisioned a "Big Seven."
With just 8.2 seconds left in G5, the home-playing Grizzlies relied on Morant's free throws to hold a three-point lead, at least to keep the game from losing.
After that, no one dared to design the script like this, first the Timberwolves side spent 5 seconds, relying on Edwards' three-pointer, to equalize the score.
Morant then used less than 3 seconds to use a gliding lever to shoot the opponent, leaving only 1 second for the Timberwolves.
The Grizzlies, who won the "Battle of Tenno Mountain", staged another big reversal on the road G6 and successfully closed the series.
Judging from the G5 quasi-kill, the Grizzlies rely on Morant to continue the youth storm, coupled with the G326 point reversal and the G6 key reversal, this Western Conference No. 2 is achieving too many impossible things.
The first round of the NBA is over, but this moment will continue, and the second round will be the curtain tomorrow.
Most of the "lead actors" who have had a good killing scene will continue to rush forward as always, like Tatum facing the defending champion and Morant challenging the extremely experienced Warriors in the playoffs.
I don't know if any of them will continue the killing scene?
Or is there a new "protagonist" on the show?
Tomorrow's NBA division semifinals, will there be a good show on the first day?
