142 points! The Warriors exploded on a 3-point record, Poole won 33 points on the floor but was denigrated, and the cause of Morant's injury emerged

On May 8, Beijing time, the third game of the series with the Grizzlies, the Warriors went crazy. At the beginning of the game, although the Grizzlies hit 6 consecutive three-pointers to try to regurgitate the main guest, but the Warriors went low and high, trailing by 2 points in the first quarter, and then the whole team began to threaten on the offensive end, and Klay and Poole scored 12 consecutive points in the second quarter, and the three points of Curry, Wiggins, and Porter also opened, and the Warriors led by 7 points at the end of the half.

After the exchange of venues, Yongsan appeared crazy, Poole, Klay, Curry three people teamed up to expand the score, the rotation stage Cuminga also contributed, the third quarter ended the Warriors advantage reached 21 points. Although the Grizzlies did not want to give up the struggle for most of the quarter, when there were 5 and a half minutes left in the game, Jenkins replaced all the main players, and finally the Warriors beat the Grizzlies 142-112 and led 2-1 in the series.

In this game, the Warriors slashed 142 points, setting a number of records, 142 points is the second highest single-game score in the Warriors' history, the first dating back to the San Francisco Warriors era in 1967. The efficiency of the whole team is very high, it is worth mentioning that among the players with more than 2 shots in the whole team, Curry's 14 shooting rate of 7,50% is the lowest, which is too scary.

Today, the Warriors shot 53 of 84 from the team, 17 of 32 from three-point range and 19 of 21 from the free throw line, making it the second-highest true shooting percentage in a single game in the NBA playoffs, behind the 77.8 percent of the 2020 Clippers vs. Lone Ranger G5. In addition to the fiery feel of the offensive end, the Warriors' also has a key to winning rebounding, facing the Grizzlies, who are the first to rebound in the regular season, the Warriors got 28 rebounds today, and the Grizzlies only had 29, it is worth mentioning that in the first three games of the series, the Warriors won the rebounds in each game.

Wiggins continued his hard work today and played efficiently, shooting 7 of 10 from the field, 2 of 2 from three-point range, and got 17 points, 3 rebounds and 2 steals, especially in the first half when the team was anxious with the Grizzlies, Wiggins scored 15 points at halftime, and after entering the second half, the team began to play, Wiggins began to retreat behind the scenes, conscientiously defending, and fighting. Wiggins is very satisfied with the performance of both the coach and the teammates.

Kerr said: "Wiggins has played very well throughout the playoffs, he has been working hard, he has played a key drop. Dream chaser praised Wiggins for playing aggressive, "We want Wiggins to be aggressive all year, we have been asking him so much, he did it!" ”

Clay did break out today, the previous two games, Clay's shooting rate is less than 35%, some media said that whenever Clay in the playoffs after two consecutive such downturns, the next game will always play more than 50% of the three-point shooting rate, today Clay continued this trend, the whole game 13 shots 8, 6 three-pointers 4 of 4, got 21 points, 9 rebounds and 4 assists data.

Everyone was not surprised by Clay's recovery, saying after the dream game: "We all know Clay's ability, he is one of the people who changed the sport. Curry said that Klay was extra patient today, "He was very patient, he didn't start shooting three-pointers until the second half, you can see from his stats, he has a lot of rounds, patience is the reason for this." ”

Curry today is to continue his excellent play in the playoffs, 14 shots 7, three-point shots 8 shots 2, free throws 14 of 14 free throws, got 30 points, 2 rebounds and 6 assists of the data, Curry such data we have seen strange, but 14 free throws in Curry is not common, I hope that in the follow-up games, the referee can give Curry more respect to the cylinder.

Poole broke out again today, shooting 11-of-17 and 3-of-5 from three-point range, scoring 27 points and a plus-minus of +33, the highest in the game. So far in the playoffs, Poole has played a phenomenal performance in his first career playoff trip, averaging 22.9 points and 5.4 assists per game, shooting 56.5% from the field, 46.2% from three-point range and 87.9% from the free throw line.

Poole's personal performance needless to say, but Poole's focus after the game was not because of his efficiency and eye-catching on the offensive end, and in the process of pinching Morant with Wiggins in the late quarter of the game, Poole hit Morant's knee in the process of picking up the ball. Morant then left the field and did not return to the field.

The Grizzlies coach's speech after the game pushed Poole to the cusp, with Jenkins saying that Poole tugged at Morant's knee and wanted to appeal to the league in the hope of giving Poole extra punishment. But the discerning person can see that Poole's fight and Dillon's evil crime against Peyton Jr. are obviously not a qualitative action. And taking a step back, from the picture of Morant's departure, we can see that Morant injured his left knee, and Poole hit Morant's right knee.

For his own action, Poole said after the game: "It was a basketball action, we were in the bag to clip him, I was rushing to the ball, I don't want anyone to be hurt, I respect every player, I hope to see him in the next game." And Curry even directly pulled the dream to the end when defending Poole, "Poole has absolutely no malice, his actions are completely incomparable with Dillon or dream chasers, he does not have that gene, and it is unfortunate for him to discuss him like this." Curry said.

It is worth mentioning that Curry also yin and yang weird when he helped Poole pull out the whirlpool of public opinion in an interview. Curry said: "Do you know what 'hot stove contact' is not? Poole's movements are similar. In the 2019 Warriors vs Timberwolves game, Curry was hit in the ankle by Okoji during a three-point shot in the final moments of the game, and the league said of the action after the game: "That action is like your hand touching the hot stove, just a brief, slight contact, so it's not a foul." ”

In fact, Poole's action, as long as you look at the slow motion a little, and then do not have any prejudice against the Warriors players, you can see that this is definitely not a deliberately hurtful action, and the position of Morant's final injury also shows that Poole's action is not the cause of Morant's injury at all, jenkins or the other Grizzlies' remarks just want Poole to fall into the vortex of public opinion and affect his mentality.

Just after the game, Morant even updated his tweet, quoting Cole's comments on Dillon's move on Peyton Jr. as "over the line", but apparently Morant knew where he was hurt, and after seeing Poole's actions on himself, he was weak and deleted the tweet.

In addition, after the game, the media also posted a video saying that the real reason for Morant's injury may be that he collided with Clay in the knee when defending Clay in the third quarter.
