The NBA continued its playoff second round today.
The Celtics and Grizzlies beat the Bucks and Warriors at home, respectively, and the aggregate scores in both series have now become 1-1 draws. Among them, Morant played a god-level performance in the face of the Warriors' Splash Brothers, which made people lament that the NBA has gradually been ruled by young people.
Want to know what great stats the players have played in the game? Let's take a look at the NBA Red and Black List.
Special Red List: Super God Morant He has the hope of surpassing the old Jenkoby
Morant (Memphis Grizzlies): 47 points, 8 rebounds, 8 assists, 3 steals, 2 turnovers, 15-of-31, 5-of-12 three-pointers, 12-of-13 from the free throw line, plus-minus +13 efficiency. In this year's playoffs, Morant scored 42 points in the glue moment, ranking first among all players in the NBA, and his shooting rate in the glue moment reached a terrible 52%, and the big heart player deserved it.
With four minutes left in today's game, the Grizzlies trailed by four points before the Grizzlies hit a 15-6 surge to reverse the win. During that time, Morant scored all 15 points.
With today's 47 points, Morant has scored at least 45 points in the playoffs twice before the age of 23, tying the elder James and Kobe Bryant and tied for the first place in NBA history. The series is not over, and Morant is very promising to surpass the elder Zhan and Kobe Bryant and become the first person in NBA history. Morant today became the highest-scoring player in this year's playoffs, equaled his career-high playoff scoring, and beat curry and Thompson-led Warriors to become the absolute NBA hotspot today.
Doncic scored 45 points yesterday and Morant scored another 47 today, and it looks like the league has entered the age of youth.
Red list: Jaylen's three-pointers are twice as bad as the Bucks' 18.4% three-pointer
Bucks 86-109 Celtics
Giannis Antetokounmpo (Milwaukee Bucks): 28 points, 9 rebounds, 7 assists, 1 steal, 1 block, 6 turnovers, 11-of-27, 1-of-4 from three-point range, 5-of-9 from the free throw line, plus-minus -11. Alphabet Brother was not only suppressed by Tatum and Jaylen Brown in terms of scoring today, but also in terms of offensive efficiency, shooting 40.7% from the field, only 25% from three-point range, and only 9 from 5 of 9 free throws.
The star was sluggish, with Holliday scoring 19 points from 35 percent, Portis 13 points, and Lopez the Great 2. In comparison, both the Warriors and bucks have less than 20% shooting percentages, but the Warriors as a whole are clearly more perfect than the Bucks.
If you want to pass the Green Army level, the Bucks also need to quickly adjust their status.
Tatum (Boston Celtics): 29 points, 3 rebounds, 8 assists, 3 steals, 1 block, 4 turnovers, 10-of-20, 5-of-10 three-pointers, 4-of-5 from the free throw line, plus-minus efficiency +21. The Twins finally got around the game today, with Tatum having 8 assists on 29 points, 10-of-20 and 5-of-10 on 30 points; Brown 6 assists on 30 points, 11 of 18 and 6 of 10 on three points.
What's more, today the Celtics only let the Bucks score 86 points in the absence of Smart, the best defensive player on the team. With such defensive ability, it seems that the Green Army is really expected to impact the championship this year.
Jaylen Brown (Boston Celtics): 30 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals, 1 block, 2 turnovers, 11-of-18, 6-of-10 three-pointers, 2-of-2 free throws, +16 plus-minus efficiency. In the first half, Jaylen Brown had already dominated the game, scoring 25 points in the first half, shooting 9-of-10 and 5-of-5 from three-point range. He shot three-pointers alone, more than twice as many three-pointers as the Bucks did in the first half of the team (2).
In the whole game today, the Celtics led the Bucks by 51 points just by relying on three-pointers, the Celtics shot 20 three-pointers in the whole game, Jaylen alone shot 6 three-pointers, and the Bucks only shot 3 three-pointers. In this comparison, the Celtics seem to take it for granted.
Grant Williams (Boston Celtics): 21 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists, 0 turnovers, 7 of 14, 6 of 9 from three-point range, 1 of 2 from the free throw line, +22 plus or minus efficiency. Grant Williams today had the highest team-high plus-minus efficiency value of +22. And the shooting rate is 50%, the three-point shooting rate is 66.7%, but there are only 0 turnovers, which is super efficient.
This time facing the Bucks, the Celtics focused their fire on the outside. They made a total of 93 three-pointers in both games. The Celtics' three-point shooting percentage was terrible in the last game, and today they shot 20 of 43 and shot a whopping 46.5% from three points, which became the key to their defeat of the Bucks.
Warriors 101-106 Grizzlies
Stephen Curry (Golden State Warriors): 27 points, 9 rebounds, 8 assists, 1 steal, 5 turnovers, 11-of-25, 3-of-11 three-pointers, 2-of-2 free throws, plus-minus -11 efficiency. Today Curry is almost the only player in the Warriors to see the three-point shooting rate, and today the Warriors' overall three-point shooting rate is only 18.4% (7 of 38), which is their worst shooting rate in the playoff game with at least 20 three-pointers. Wiggins 1 of 7, Thompson 2 of 12, Poole 6 of 1, Porter 1 of 0, the Warriors' three-point shooting rate is absolutely unbearable.
Poole (Golden State Warriors): 20 points, 3 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 turnovers, 8 of 16, 1 of 6 from three-point range, 3 of 3 from the free throw line, plus or minus +2 efficiency. Compared with Thompson Wiggins, Poole's 50% shooting rate is already a more reliable scoring point. Unfortunately, at the critical moment, Poole's offensive ability is still not strong enough, and the Warriors still have to count on Curry and Klay's offense.
Black List: Clay steps into sinner at a critical moment Bain was prevented from dying all thanks to Morant
Klay Thompson (Golden State Warriors): 12 points, 2 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 steals, 1 turnover, 5-of-19, 2-of-12 three-pointers, plus-minus -9 efficiency. With a three-point shooting percentage of 2-of-12 and a three-pointer at the end of the game, Thompson not only didn't help at all today, he also helped at the crucial moment.
Bain (Memphis Grizzlies): 5 points, 6 rebounds, 1 assist, 2 turnovers, 2-of-7, 1-of-4 three-pointer, plus-minus +11. If Bain still can't break through the Warriors' defense, then in the later games, Morant may be exhausted. As the most consistent and efficient score point for the Grizzlies in the regular season and playoff first round, Bain's performance today is simply out of order.
