Today's 2 games in the second round of the division, and put the "ball is round" in front of everyone, but also let everyone understand that the playoffs of you and me are normal, a game of gains and losses do not need to be exaggerated. Both the Celtics and the Grizzlies defended the home arena, with one player on each team becoming a hero and shutting down those who advocated for their rivals after G1.
G2 can defend the home and win the first game of the playoffs this year by more than 10 points, and the Celtics of course have to credit the double probes. G1 was sprayed with double probes in reading the game, executing tactics and finding teammates, but this game was full of hearts, handing over 21 of 38, including 11 of 20 three points, a total of 59 points, plus and minus are also very good (Tatum +21, Jaylen Brown +16).
But in addition to singing the praises of the double detective, the words of the Green Army coach Uduka may have said the way to win the Green Army, that is, to "decide to take more single defense against Giannis", and this task was given to Horford and Grant Williams, who also did a good job.
In fact, in the G1 Green Army's defense of the alphabet brother is also successful to some extent. The alphabet brother shot only 9 of 25 in the game, and the three points did not open. But Uduka stared at the statistics table after the game and still felt that Brother Alphabet's 12 assists were a bit dazzling. In this game, in the case of no improvement in the attack (11 of 27), although he still handed over a performance of 28+9+7, the destructive power could not be compared with the first battle.
The Green Army's defensive rotation is fast, and despite the lack of Smart, this game can still use this advantage to offset the absence of the new DPOY, and also try to avoid clipping the alphabet brother, giving him the opportunity to show his excellent passing means and the ability to find teammates who have been emptied.
The Bucks led 54-24 in the ratio of points scored on the inside, but the gap between the projections of the two teams' three-pointers was even larger than the difference in points scored on the inside. In the first game, the Green Army's three-point projection (50 shots and 18 shots) has been aligned with the Rockets of that year, and in this game (43 shots and 20 shots), it is actually the same level. But the Bucks are 12 of 34 in the G1 three-point range, and the three-pointers are 3 of 18. Such a sluggish performance, when the opponent's three-point shooting record is broken, the Bucks can only consider themselves unlucky.
Against the Bucks, it's no surprise that teams will shoot three points hard; the Bucks have a letter brother, although they don't have to "rocket" outside the three-point line, they must also have a considerable number of three-point tribute. I don't know if at this stage, will the Bucks miss the second boss Middleton who can open up space when he hits the Green Army?
The Bucks and Green Army face off against each other, while the Warriors and Grizzlies are more like grudges. Of course, an Iguodala will not let the two teams have such a deep hatred, in the end, this is still the inevitable result of the new forces meeting the former heroes, desperately wanting to ascend to the throne, and wanting to declare their existence.
G1 Draymond Green took the lead, and how to characterize his actions became the biggest talk of the round, not the series itself. After G2, the discussion between the two sides around the evil criminal continued, but the protagonist was changed from Green to Dillon Brooks. Previously, the Grizzlies had a tradition of "the West End team that is the least like the West End team", "grinding and hanging" made all West Side opponents afraid, "not to die but also to lose the skin" . Today's Grizzly Bears still have the shadow of the past.
Regardless of the grudges, just talking about the game itself, morant in this game undoubtedly pulled the Grizzlies back from the brink of life and death. The Warriors played a "very untroducated" game, shooting 42.1 percent from the field and just 7-of-38 from three-point range, but the Grizzlies were not necessarily more efficient (39.6 percent from the field, 14-of-45 from three-point range). Aside from Clark, the Grizzlies looked around, with Bane, Jalan Jackson Jr., MOP and Kyle Anderson all sluggish. But at least they own Morant. 47+8+8！ Morant did not repeat the mistakes of yesterday's Doncic and saved the team. Curry, by contrast, was overall efficient, but he failed to fill the gap between Klay Thompson and Wiggins (11 of 35).
After the G1 war, the industry review game found that the Grizzlies, who were best at creating opponent errors and sharp offensive and defensive conversions in the regular season, did not play this advantage in front of the Warriors. In this season's regular season, the Grizzlies averaged 15.1 turnovers per game, the third most in the league, and the average of fast-break scores per game (17.7 points) is also the first in the league. In addition, the Grizzlies are also masters in secondary offense (averaging 18.7 league first points per game) with the league's most offensive rebounds per game (14.1 per game).
Compared with this game, the G2 Grizzlies have slightly opened up the gap in turnovers and fast-break scoring, but in terms of rebounding ratio, it is exactly the same as G1, and there is no advantage at all. Another of the more significant figures is the interior offensive. In two consecutive games, the Warriors scored ahead of their opponents on the inside (G1 is 56-44, G2 is 60-42). It can be said that the content presented in these 2 games is similar in many aspects.
In comparison, the Warriors went from a narrow win of 1 point to a loss of 5 points, and this subtle difference is still caused by outside projection. The same 38 three-pointers were shot in 2 games, and the Warriors hit 14 in G1, but only half of them were in this game. The Splash Brothers, Wiggins and Poole combined to make 7 of 36 three-pointers, a performance that is difficult to win.
In the future, the two sides of this series will still compete in the accuracy of the projection of the outside line. In other respects, the two sides are still expected to work hard to promote their strengths and avoid their weaknesses. The Warriors will still insist on clearing the field on the inside to ensure that the "Death Five" can be played smoothly; the Grizzlies still want to use the outside projection to punish the opponent's deployment, and strive to open up a broader battlefield for Morant under the basket.
Although the heat VS76 and the Suns vs Lone Rangers have only played 1 game so far, the problems exposed by the two lower-ranked teams are difficult for them to bargain in front of the top place in the East and West Regions, and the suspense of the series is not as big as today's 2 groups. Two groups of 1-1 may be just the beginning. (Supine Braces/Hairy)
