In the NBA League, every season will have a blockbuster player and team, and in this season's Western Conference, the Memphis Grizzlies are undoubtedly one of the most shining teams, under the leadership of the core of the world's best waist Morant, they became the biggest dark horse to win the second place in the Western Conference regular season, although they encountered a slight challenge in the first round, they still eliminated the Timberwolves and got the opportunity to compete with the Warriors for a divisional final spot! The first game of the two sides of the series, the Grizzlies playing at home under the leadership of Morant and Jarren Jackson, played a very good overall performance, and also fought with the Warriors to the final moment, Klay Thompson's two missed shots at key moments, giving the Grizzlies the opportunity to kill their opponents, but unfortunately, Morant, who swept away the haze of the first round, did not seize the opportunity to kill, and could only watch the Grizzlies lose 116-117 and encountered the opening black of the series!
Morant Jaren Jax twin stars shine
The Grizzlies' outstanding record has made core Morant the hottest new star in the league, but in the absence of him, the Grizzlies can still maintain a momentum of high progress, which is enough to prove that the team's role players are also very effective, and the overall strength advantage is the reason why they can become the biggest dark horse in the West in the regular season.
In the first game of the Western Conference Semifinals, Jarren Jackson and Morant staged a memphis double star shining drama together, the first round of performance is very large, Morant once again proved his ability to eat and sleep to play the Warriors, this battle against the cute god Curry, Morant is a big killer, a person bombed 34 points, 9 rebounds, 10 assists and 3 steals of the quasi-triple-double data, but unfortunately in the last moment his signature low hand layup did not hit, missed the opportunity to kill, and Jaren Jackson's performance is equally eye-catching In the third quarter, he scored 14 points in a single quarter, and he exploded a double-double of 33 points and 10 rebounds, and scored 30+ points at the same time in a playoff game, making the two of them the first time in the history of the Grizzlies to achieve this achievement!
Bane's stealth became the main reason for the Grizzlies' loss
If you look at the performance of the warriors and the Grizzlies' starting five tiger core players, Morant and Jarren Jackson, who scored 67 points, are obviously better than the Splash brothers Curry and Klay Thompson, who scored 39 points, but in the case of the core performance is not as good as the opponent, the Warriors can still laugh to the end, relying on the role players to play, this game Pooler came off the bench to cut a comprehensive personal data of 31 + 8 + 9.
In contrast, the Grizzlies' previous performance of Bain, who was very brave, lost himself in this game, played 32.3 minutes in the whole game, hit only 3 goals in 10 shots, including only 1 of 5 on three-pointers, and only scored a pitiful 9 points, which is the main reason why the Grizzlies failed to defend the home court.
Although the Western Conference semifinals first game lost, but from the process of the game can still be seen, the gap between the Grizzlies and the Warriors is not large, they have the possibility of reversing the promotion later, but the experience disadvantage makes the Warriors' key ball more graspful, if Morant can play a stable performance at the butler's moment, it will greatly increase the probability of the team's promotion!
