After the first round of the playoff series, the Golden State Warriors have shown more resilience. Even if it is the star Curry on the bench, Poole can play the same data performance as the team leader, leading the team to win one game after another. And now, as the playoff schedule continues to deepen, Curry has returned to an absolutely healthy state, and it is time for the Warriors to blow the clarion call to the next Western Conference Finals and even the finals later.
However, head coach Kerr unfortunately triggered the league's epidemic prevention and security agreement, and had to miss this G4 battle, and the tactical command was handed over to Brown, who served as an assistant coach. Of course, the situation for the Warriors is not very optimistic, but the situation on the Grizzlies side is also not very clear. Star Omrante suffered a knee injury during an attack in the G3 battle and had to leave the game early. This time, continuing to play the key G4 battle at the home of the Warriors, Morant was not able to return to the court, and could only be a loyal spectator on the sidelines.
At the beginning of this game, no one would have thought that the Golden State Warriors would actually encounter the Grizzlies. Without the help of star Morant, the players on the Grizzlies side have always maintained a steady output, but the Warriors' offense is chaotic. The Splash combination scored 8-of-8 in the first quarter, and Bench Scorer Phill only shot 1-of-4 from the field. The poor Warriors gave the Grizzlies, who seized the opportunity, a 24-20 score and a four-point lead.
Entering the second quarter of the showdown, the Warriors, whose outside three-pointers were obviously not good, still did not make changes. However, Curry made 1 of 2 three-pointers in the second quarter, becoming the first player in NBA history to hit 500 three-pointers in the playoffs, ushering in a new era. At the same time, the overall state of the players on the Grizzlies side was not very good, and even allowed the Warriors to play an 18-17 score and recover the 1 point behind. At the end of the first half, the Grizzlies still maintained a three-point lead.
The Grizzlies, who entered the third quarter of the game, did not give the Warriors another chance to counterattack. Wiggins shot 100 percent in a single quarter, sending 8 points, 1 rebound and 1 block data didn't work, and the Grizzlies once again relied on the continuous power of the players on the team to play a 28-24 score, extending the point difference to 7 points. In the final quarter of the decisive victory, Curry, who had been cold in the hand, finally returned to the state, sent 18 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist, constantly impacted the basket and posed a three-point threat on the outside, leading the team to play a 39-29 score, and won the game with a score of 101-98.
After completing a 10-point reversal in the final quarter and winning the game, the Warriors' big score in the second round of the series also came to 3-1, winning the match point and advancing to the Western Conference Finals. I have to admit that although the Warriors' outside three-point output in this game is very bad, the team's three-point shooting is 9 of 37, only 24.3% shooting rate, but Curry still led the team to complete the reversal and showed the technical level of his team leader. That's right, in the whole game, Curry played nearly 38 minutes, 4 of 14 three-pointers, 10 of 25 shots, 8 of 9 from the free throw line, and delivered a game-high score of 32 points, as well as 5 rebounds and 8 assists.
At the same time, Wiggins in this game is also as stable as ever, effectively helping the team stabilize the situation in the process of poor three-point output. In fact, Wiggins also delivered a double-double of 17 points and 10 rebounds in the 39 minutes of playing, helping the team to beat the opponent's key 12 points (the highest in the game) on the court, which is very efficient!
