The Grizzlies fought backwaters
The Golden State Warriors won the first game of the series, which is already on the commanding heights of the series for them. However, if you want to win the series, then every game is a must for the soldiers. In the second game of the series, the Grizzlies, who play at home, will definitely go all out, they have no way out, once they lose two home games, then it is difficult to win the series. It is worth mentioning that the Grizzlies' young Grizzlies Zaire Williams have made a comeback in this game.
It was a physically confrontational game, with Brooks being ousted in the first quarter for a second-degree foul, and Payton Jr. and Dream Green returning to the dressing room after only three minutes. However, Green returned to the field in the second quarter, and Payton Jr. will not return this game. From here, you can see how tragic this game really was.
A generation of waist kings Morant
At the beginning of the first quarter, Morant shot 4 of 7 and got 14 points, 1 rebound and 5 assists, which was simply unstoppable. After all, Payton Jr. only played 3 minutes and was unable to play due to injury, and his main task was to defend Morant. Under Morant's leadership, the Grizzlies scored 33 points in a single quarter, while the Warriors only scored 25 points, with Curry scoring 11 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists. After returning from the second quarter, Wiggins staged an earth-shattering dunk across Clarke, which completely ignited the morale of the team.
But even so, the Warriors only narrowed the point difference again and again, and never completed the rebound. Morant scored nine more points and three rebounds in a single quarter to help the Grizzlies lead the Warriors by five points at halftime. In the second half, Wiggins, who only scored 4 points in the first half, suddenly ushered in an outbreak, with 8 points and 1 block in the single quarter, Poole also had 6 points and 2 assists, the Warriors scored 26 points in a single quarter, and the Grizzlies only scored 21 points, including Morant 6 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists. After the third quarter, the two teams drew 77-77.
In the final quarter of the game, the main players of both teams rested on the court, and the Warriors' second lineup had the advantage, but Zaire hit two consecutive three-pointers to help the Grizzlies complete the rebound. However, at the crucial moment, Curry also hit 2 consecutive three-pointers, and Morant was still an unreasonable breakthrough layup. Green caused Jaron Jr. to make six fouls, Poole made a layup, Morant continued to keep the suspense on the layup, and then a three-pointer helped the Grizzlies complete the rebound. Curry played on the board in response to the showdown between the stars.
Morant turned and broke through, throwing the shot well. Curry was capped on a layup, Clay's three-pointers were directly three-point, Morant had two free throws, and the point difference came to 3 points. Curry assisted Green's empty basket, Morant threw a shot, Klay's key three-point move, and the Warriors could only foul. Morant made both free throws, and Curry missed a three-pointer. In the end, the Grizzlies defeated the Warriors 106-101, and the series scored a 1-1 draw.
The Warriors' three-pointers were miserable
Boom 47+8+8, a generation of waist king Morant! The Grizzlies pulled back a city, and the Warriors retreated injured. Peyton Jr.'s injury has made Morant on the field very successful, but this can not deny how outstanding Morant's strength is. Shooting 15 of 31, 5 of 12 from three-point range, and 12 of 13 from the free throw line, almost single-handedly, he shot down 47 points, 8 rebounds, 8 assists and 3 steals, once again showing the strength of a generation of waist kings. Jalen Jr. played six games with only 12 points and seven rebounds, and Zaire Williams on the bench became a surpriser with 14 points and 5 rebounds.
Steven Curry tried his best, with 27 points, 9 rebounds and 8 assists, and although he did not shoot 3 of 10 from three-point range, he was already the Warriors' best three-pointer. After the whole game, the Warriors' three-point shooting was only 7 of 38, which can be said to be unbearable. Poole had 20 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists, Clay only had 12 points, 2 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 steals, 2 of 12 from three-point range, Wiggins had 16 points, 8 rebounds and 2 assists, 1 of 7 from three-point range, and Dream Green also had 6 points, 10 rebounds and 7 assists.
