Although once caught in a passive situation of as many as 12 points behind in the score, with Curry's excellent performance in the last quarter, the G4 Warriors, who played at home, finally defeated the Grizzlies in a 101-98 reversal, and won the series match point 3-1 in the semifinals!
Rationally speaking, in the absence of head coach Kerr, the G4 Warriors were able to complete a big reversal, and the platoon deployment of interim coach Mike Brown was undoubtedly indispensable.
After all, in the first half, Mike Brown took the initiative to change sides in the second half, abandoning the young player Cuminga, and giving Otto Porter more playing time and opportunities, which really successfully reversed the situation on the court!
At the same time, it is worth mentioning that after the G4 helped the Warriors win, Mike Brown's playoff record as the team's interim coach has improved to 12 wins and 0 losses.
I have to say that Mike Brown, who can sign a head coach contract with the Kings and mature and stable in dispatching generals and on-the-spot command, is indeed well deserved!
Of course, as the team's home star, the G4 game against Stephen Curry also played a crucial leading role.
Curry opened low and went high, although in the first three quarters of the delay in the situation, but fortunately in the final quarter ushered in the outbreak to cut 18 points, bombed the game-high 32 points, plus 5 rebounds, 8 assists and 1 steal of the all-round performance!
Rationally speaking, in the case of the two main offensive forces of Tang Shen + Jordan Pooler, G4 Curry was able to stand up in time and lead the team to complete the reversal performance, and indeed did not live up to the expectations of the home fans!
More importantly, after shooting four three-pointers in this campaign, according to statistics, Curry's total number of playoff three-point shots has exceeded the 500 mark, becoming the first player in the history of the league to achieve this achievement.
After helping the team win the G4 and win the series match point, Curry, who ushered in a major milestone moment in his career, can also be said to be a double happiness!
In addition, the G4 Warriors were able to reverse the victory over the Grizzlies, winning the semi-finals point 3-1, and the two major players Wiggins + Green, as well as the bench of the Odd Otto Porter play, also contributed to the great.
In this game, Wiggins is still steady, shooting more than 50% of the 7-of-13 shots in the whole game, and he has handed over 17 points + 10 rebounds + 1 assist + 1 steal + 2 blocks of offensive and defensive performance, which successfully affected the trend of the game!
And G4 against the Grizzlies, the team's core Green's performance is also remarkable, the whole game, Green contributed 2 points + 11 rebounds + 5 assists + 1 block of outstanding performance.
And Green fought for 11 rebounds, which is also the highest in the warrior team, not only successfully protected the restricted area, but also sent a winning cover on the defensive end, helping the Warriors to cross the border and win!
Coupled with the sudden appearance of Otto Porter, the substitute debuted for 23 minutes, and the excellent performance of 12+2+3+2 in 4 of 6 three-pointers, it has to be said that the performance of the G4 Warriors in the first game can complete the big reversal, and there is no doubt about it!
In contrast, on the Grizzlies side, the G4 team failed to withstand the pressure in the final quarter, and was eventually reversed, missing a good score of 1-3 into a passive game performance, which obviously needs to be examined.
But rationally speaking, for the Grizzlies, the G4 game, the team is not completely without highlights and gains!
After all, under the sluggish performance of Dillon Brooks, who played poorly and returned from the ban to shoot only 5 of 19 shots, the performance of Adams, another core who ushered in the comeback, was indeed remarkable.
G4 came back from the line of fire, Adams was very efficient, starting 25 minutes, 5 of 9 shooting, 10 points + 15 rebounds + 3 assists + 1 steal + 1 block full performance.
Although it failed to help the Grizzlies win, there is one thing to say, the inside combination of Adams + Jalan Jackson Jr. in this game did cause great trouble and pressure to the Warriors!
For the Grizzlies, who are 1-3 behind in the big score and have no way to retreat, in the G5 game that returns to the home court, the Grizzlies will not only usher in a backwater battle, but also face no small challenges and tests!
