On May 10, Beijing time, the NBA's East and West semifinals were in full swing, and the Bucks, who were sitting at home, were finally overturned by the Celtics against the wind, and the two sides returned to 2:2, and the battle of Tianwangshan was also full of expectations. In contrast, in the semifinals of the Western Conference, the warriors and the Grizzlies, with Morant's injury, this group of duels is also much less watchable.
Although the Grizzlies are injured, but they do not want to give up, today's game with the Warriors, from the pre-game players' state, they have no frustration, it can be seen that Morant should not be a major injury, dragged to the back may be able to come back, then the result is still undecided!
Sure enough, as soon as the first quarter began, the Grizzlies put up twelve points of effort to defend, although there was no Dominance of Morant on the offensive end, but the defensive end was full of energy. The Warriors did not show the corresponding respect, perhaps the light enemy may be adjusted in time, the first quarter of the game, the Warriors were always guarded by the Grizzlies tightly.
Although the Grizzlies themselves are indeed not playing well today, the Warriors are also slow to find a feel. Whether it's Curry or Thompson or Poole, they're all crazy in the first quarter. After the first quarter, instead, the Grizzlies led by four points to end the first quarter at 24:20.
When everyone thought that the Warriors would find the feel in the decisive battle in the second quarter, but no one expected that this quarter was more of a hand-to-hand fight between the two sides, constantly giving the opponent a body, in exchange for both sides were single quarters can not break 20 points, slow offense and always by the penalty to interrupt the rhythm of the game, so that the fans are very annoyed, there is constantly playing iron and whistle, such a game really has no ornamental.
When everyone thought that the Warriors could easily hold the Grizzlies in this game, it showed a contrast, and the Grizzlies held back at least half of the game. The Warriors did not give the Grizzlies enough respect, a little relaxation will affect their own state, the second quarter warriors 18:17 Grizzlies, chased back a point, but after half-time they trailed by 3 points into the second half of the competition.
This half made many fans scream that they couldn't understand it, originally thought it was a very easy game, but it was so tragic, and the Warriors paid for their pride, because at the end of the half, the short break did not bring them a feel.
After the start of the second half, the Grizzlies keenly smelled the taste of victory, and the third quarter of the game was quickly opened by this youth army, and players such as Jalen Jackson, Jones and Anderson took on the boss role of Morant, and the whole team played well under their tandem, not only the defensive end suppressed the Warriors, but also the offensive end took the initiative to take the lead.
The Warriors completely lost the Atlantic Ocean by three points today, and the whole team did not have a three-point feeling from the main force to the bench, in addition, the mid-range was also affected by the three-point shooting rate.
Watching the point difference being widened by the Grizzlies, the Warriors knew they had reached the point where they could not retreat, and finally ushered in a rare offensive wave in the last few minutes of the third quarter, chasing the point difference to a gap of only one goal with 2 minutes left. But at this time, the Grizzlies could not give up the victory, turned their heads and the Grizzlies immediately responded with a wave, and at the end of the third quarter, the Grizzlies once again led by 7 points at 69:62 and entered the final quarter!
The last quarter of the two teams opened a good play you chase me, this side of the Warriors do not want to play with the Grizzlies many times, the whole team is nervous, strive to win this time, the Grizzlies side is naturally not willing to show weakness, a start to play the Warriors a 7:2 homeopathic point difference continues to expand to a 2-figure lead. The two sides just shot a long-range three-pointer, I immediately returned a mid-range, the Grizzlies still held the Warriors in the last quarter, but in the end the balance of victory tilted to the Warriors' side, and they won the victory with difficulty.
