The second round of the NBA playoffs officially kicks off today.
In the first two games, Alphabet Brother scored a triple-double in a defensive battle to lead the team to beat the Celtics, while the Warriors had a thrilling situation, and finally narrowly beat the Grizzlies by one point to win the second round of the playoffs.
Want to know what kind of data the players get in the game? Let's take a look at the NBA Red and Black List.
Special Red List: Alphabet Brother Leads the League in Total Plus-Negative Efficiency Values He only needs to beware of one person
Giannis Antetokounmpo (Milwaukee Bucks): 24 points, 13 rebounds, 12 assists, 2 blocks, 5 turnovers, 9-of-25, 2-of-0 three-pointers, 6-of-11 free throws, plus-minus +23 efficiency. After winning today, Alphabet Brother continues to hold the title of the first overall plus-minus efficiency value in the 2022 playoffs, and his total plus-minus efficiency value has reached +109, which is far ahead in this data. The role of the alphabet brother in the Bucks' victory is obvious.
However, If He wants to continue his excellent performance in the following games, his teammates must help him avoid encountering Robert Williams' defense. In this game, when Lowe defended Alphabet Brother, Alphabet Brother shot 0 of 5, while when others defended Alphabet Brother, he shot 9 of 20.
In fact, when Lowe defended bucks players one-on-one, the bucks players defended by him today made a total of 11 shots and didn't score a single goal.
Special Red List: This Pu'er tea is really fragrant! Poole still leads the team in three stats
Poole (Golden State Warriors): 31 points, 8 rebounds, 9 assists, 2 blocks, 4 turnovers, 12-of-20, 5-of-10 three-pointers, 2-of-2 free throws, plus or minus +10 efficiency. Since Curry entered the league, only 4 players have been able to rank first in the playoffs in all three statistics of scoring, rebounding, assisting. The previous three were Curry, Durant and Dream Green, and today Poole is the fourth player to do so.
Being able to play this statistic in the second round of the playoffs, Poole is no less advanced than Morant, who eventually won the award, in terms of the fastest improved player.
Red List: Curry never lost in the life and death game The Grizzlies' first pair of 30+ combinations still suffered a defeat
Bucks 101-89 Celtics
Ju Holliday (Milwaukee Bucks): 25 points, 9 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals, 2 turnovers, 8-of-20, 3-of-5 three-pointers, 6-of-6 from the free throw line, -3 plus-minus efficiency. Holliday's role goes far beyond these numbers, he can switch between Smart, Tatum or Jaylen Brown at will, and this good defense is the biggest role he plays.
Portis (Milwaukee Bucks): 15 points, 11 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal, 1 turnover, 6-of-12, 2-of-7 three-pointers, 1-of-2 from the free throw line, plus or minus +11. Portis is being paid $4.35 million this year and believes he will get a better contract after the playoffs.
Warriors 117-116 Grizzlies
Stephen Curry (Golden State Warriors): 24 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 block, 1 turnover, 8-of-20, 5-of-12 three-pointers, 3-of-4 from the free throw line, plus-minus -9. In Curry's career, counting today's games, he has encountered a total of 4 games with a final score difference of 1 point, and Curry has won all 4 games.
You know, after today's game, many media and fans have been complaining that the Warriors are 5vs8 today, and they are facing the cooperative attack of 5 Grizzlies players and 3 referees. Being able to win a game in such a difficult situation is evident in the Warriors' strength.
Although Thompson's score in the first game was not outstanding, he played the most important offense of the game and the most important defense of the game, and the Warriors wanted to win the game by relying on the Splash Brothers.
Jarren Jackson Jr. (Memphis Grizzlies): 33 points, 10 rebounds, 6 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 block, 3 turnovers, 10-of-18, 6-of-9 three-pointers, 7-of-9 free throws, plus-minus efficiency -5. It's the third pair in this year's playoffs to score at least 30 points in the same game. The previous two pairs were Ingram and McCollum in Game Three of the Pelicans and Suns Series, Curry and Thompson in the Nuggets and Warriors Series, and it's worth mentioning that all three pairs eventually lost the game. However, Morant and Jackson Jr. became the first pair in Grizzlies history to score 30+ at the same time in the playoffs.
It is not difficult to find that in the playoffs, the power of individual heroism is getting smaller and smaller. To win the game, the star still has to mobilize the whole team into attack and defense.
Morant (Memphis Grizzlies): 34 points, 9 rebounds, 10 assists, 3 steals, 3 turnovers, 14-of-31, 4-of-11 three-pointers, 2-of-3 free throws, plus-minus -1 efficiency. Today Morant almost got a triple-double, today Morant almost won, but unfortunately, everything is just a little worse. The final key ball, Morant was decisively wrapped by Klay Thompson before the shot, such a ball is enough to show that the Grizzlies are still a little tender, can not put all the bets and pressure on Morant alone.
Morant made it to the second round of the playoffs, significantly increasing his own outside projection. In the first round of the entire series, Morant shot four three-pointers, and in today's game, Morant shot four three-pointers.
Black List: The Green Army's wild three-point shooting is equivalent to seeking their own death The Grizzlies have dragged their hind legs
Tatum/Jaylen Brown (Boston Celtics): Tatum made 6-of-18 shooting, 21 points and three turnovers; Brown made 4-of-13, 7 turnovers with 12 points. Today, the Boston Twins lost their own confidence in front of the Bucks' defense, and both main fire points only had a 30% shooting rate from the top point, and it is not difficult to understand that the Celtics only scored 89 points in the whole game. Do the Celtics expect both Horford and Smart to perform 20+?
Today the Celtics' interior line was heavily guarded and could only score in large numbers of three-pointers. However, in NBA history, the record of the last 11 teams that have reached 50 three-pointers in three games is 2-9. Today, the Celtics made 50 three-pointers and lost the game.
Bain/Dillon Brooks (Memphis Grizzlies): Bain had 9 points, 1 rebound, 3 of 10, brooks had 8 points, 2 rebounds, 3 assists, and 3 of 13. Although Jackson Jr. and Morante performed to carry the whole team, but with these two dragging legs, the Grizzlies eventually fell short, losing the game by 1 point.
