Morant limped into the arena, it was really a big blow for the Grizzlies, we all know how important Morant is to the Grizzlies, but also know how important Kerr is to the Warriors, but the Warriors are dangerous this time? Yes, before the start of the G4 game, the Warriors officially confirmed that Kerr's absence from G4 will be replaced by chief assistant coach Mike Brown, and it seems that the Grizzlies' opportunity has come!
It is worth mentioning that the reason for Kerr's absence from G4 is that his new crown positive triggered a health and safety agreement, Kerr had to miss the G4 coaching, as for whether G5 can come back, it depends on Kerr's recovery ability, as long as he turns negative Kerr can come back, but when the Warriors lead the Grizzlies 2-1, G4 is very critical to the Warriors, if you can get the match point in advance is the best, the Warriors will have no suspense in advancing to the Western Conference Finals, because if you play TianwangShan, the Warriors will also suffer a lot of physical exertion.
Kerr is the best coach for the Warriors' death five, perhaps Brown has been learning from Kerr for several seasons, and has also been favored by the Kings, determining that Brown is the coach of the Kings next season, the question is whether Brown can really replace Kerr's coaching position in the Warriors?
Think of Payton, in the darkest moments of the Lakers' coaching, this shows that the Warriors' assistant coach and Kerr still have some gaps. Without Kerr's coaching, some of the Warriors' off-court decisions, tactics and on-the-spot handling will not be as perfect as before, and it will be a great opportunity for the Grizzlies.
Of course, regardless of whether Morant played in the G4 game or not, Kerr made a statement before the game, and the Grizzlies without Morant during the regular season record of 20 wins and 5 losses praised the Grizzlies as a very good team. It seems that Cole is indeed very far-sighted, and hopefully Brown can successfully take Cole's place and prove that he is the best candidate for the King's manager, or give the Grizzlies the opportunity to drag the series into the King's Hill Battle.
It's worth mentioning that if Kerr is positive for covid-19, what about the rest of the Warriors? There may be some hidden dangers, and I hope that everything will go well and the players can stay away from work and the invasion of the virus.
