Chapter 462

The Clippers pulled one back, but they are still behind. Only by winning G4 can the two sides stand on the same starting line.

The Grizzlies' promotion probability has dropped a bit, but it is still above 6%.Most people are still more optimistic about them, because their main lineup looks more restrained each other.

On May 5, the Grizzlies VS Clippers series G8 will continue at the Staples Center.

In this game, both sides continued to use the starting lineup of the previous game.The Grizzlies have not changed. In the words of TNT commentator Kenny Smith: "The lineup of Memphis is the 'bright card' in poker. Where can it be changed?"

Because of the victory in the last game, the morale of the Clippers has recovered a lot.If it is really 0:3 behind, then their journey to the playoffs this season is almost over.

The first quarter of the game started, Xie Kai was different from the previous game, this game has been adjusted.He is no longer rigidly holding the ball to attract pincers and then split the ball, but more as a bait to participate in offense without the ball.Once he holds the ball, he will attack without hesitation, and complete the attack before the opponent's pincer attack comes up.

Except for Xie Kai, the others played more aggressively and aggressively on the offensive end.On the defensive end, it is forcing Paul to play singles and lock up others.

The strength of the Grizzlies forced the Clippers to frequently fall into singles, and their singles efficiency, except for Paul, was really not good.

Griffin can only pick up the loopholes, and neither singles, black, white, or double bears can take advantage.And Foye and Caron Butler singled Xie Kai and Gay, it was really too difficult for them.

The core of the Clippers' offense is based on Paul and Griffin. If one of these two is restricted, the offense of the starting lineup will have problems.

The Grizzlies quickly took the lead, but not by many points.Although Griffin is not efficient, he can still use his unstable mid-range and amazing explosive power to score some points.

The game soon reached the rotation stage, and the two sides began to compete for the second team again.

At this stage of the game, Jr. has exploded, but Nick Young and Kenyon Martin don't feel good; for the Grizzlies, Pontesett and Arenas feel good, so the two sides are still evenly matched.

As long as the Grizzlies survive the rotation stage, they are not afraid of the starting stage.So in the second half of the second quarter, relying on the strength of a stronger starting lineup, they rewritten the score to 2:49 at the end of the half.

The game in the second half was almost a replica of the game in the first half. The Grizzlies dominated in the starting stage, and the two sides exploded in the rotation stage.

In the end, the Grizzlies won the game, rewriting the total score of the series to 3:1.

The Clippers were suppressed throughout the game. After leading 2:0 in the first quarter, they never led the score again.And the process of this game made them desperate. Once the opponent's second team can bite the score, the ending is likely to end in failure.If I want to win here, I can only hope that the second team will beat the opponent, and the opponent's starting lineup will be inaccurate.

After falling behind 1:3, in the eyes of many people, unless there is a miracle, it is only a matter of time before the Clippers are out.

Many Grizzlies fans are already thinking about their opponents in the next round.On the day the Grizzlies beat the Clippers away, another set of matchups in the West, the No. [-] Spurs defeated the Jazz away and completed a sweep.

In this way, if the Grizzlies successfully eliminate the Clippers, their opponent in the second round will be the Spurs.

After winning G4 against the Clippers, Xie Kai warned his teammates: "The series is not over yet, we can't relax ourselves!" Speech.

Those words seemed to be like this: "I'm already thinking about my next opponent!" As a result, I was turned over by the opponent and became a laughing stock.

Xie Kai didn't want to be in such a background. Although the possibility was very small, he didn't want this possibility to happen.Seriously winning Game 5 at home is his main focus right now.

Grizzlies coach Lionel Hollins was very satisfied and Xie Kai reminded everyone. He also praised him in private: "You are becoming more and more like a leader now."

Miracles did not happen. On May 5, the Grizzlies returned home and defeated the Clippers, eliminated their opponents with a total score of 10:4, and advanced to the second round of the playoffs.

The Grizzlies made it to the second round of the Western Conference playoffs for the second straight season, much to the excitement of Grizzlies fans.Who would have thought that this small market team, which was still a few seasons ago, could become a playoff powerhouse like it is now?

However, the Western Conference semifinals are not the ultimate goal of the Grizzlies. Their goals are the Western Conference Finals and the Finals.

The opponent of the Grizzlies in the semifinals is the Spurs!The attention of this group of duels is super super high. The reason is that last season, the Spurs, who were also No. 8 in the Western Conference, were killed by the Grizzlies who were No. 4 in the Western Conference, completing the fourth black eight miracle in league history.

The Spurs are naturally brooding. Last season, Daidai and Manu were injured in their GDP, but this season they are all healthy, and they met the Grizzlies again.

The two teams played against each other several times in the regular season, and the Grizzlies didn't win even once.The Spurs played very hard when they saw them, as if they were playing in the playoffs.

Some people who don't know the situation will wonder why the GDP doesn't pretend to be dead?How did Popo reveal his strength in advance?Etc., etc……

The black eight last season was a disgrace to Bobo, GDP and even the Spurs. They are holding their breath and will definitely make the Grizzlies pay the price!

Unexpectedly, the opportunity came so soon!

Regarding this round of the series, although one is the first in the Western Conference and the other is only the fourth in the Western Conference, they are not overwhelmingly optimistic about the Spurs.Even the two teams are extremely close in terms of winning odds, and the predicted probability of advancing is only slightly higher for the Spurs.

Maybe this is slightly higher, because the Spurs have home court advantage...

It can be seen that the strength of the Grizzlies and the deep impression they left in the Western Conference finals last season are really not to be underestimated...

In the words of Golden State Warriors coach Mark Jackson: "I think Kane Xie still has reservations, he hasn't done his best yet!"

Of course, this statement is somewhat disrespectful to the Clippers, but there are not a few experts and media who agree with this view.

Since Xie Kai killed the Spurs and Thunder in the playoffs last season, his strength has rarely been questioned.Even Barkley has always looked down on him, and he no longer denies that he has the strength of an all-star, but he does not admit that he is a superstar!
