Morant decided not to play the Warriors G6. Although Morant still failed to return, he always stood with the team. This time the Grizzlies went to the Bay Area, and Morant also went with the team. If Grizzlies win one more game, they will drag the series into the tiebreak, and Morant will definitely miss the game against Warriors G6.
Morant decided to miss the Warriors G6 1. On May 3rd, Beijing time 1, Warriors and Grizzlies submitted G6 injury reports, and six people from both sides decided to miss G6! On the Warriors' side, Iguodala missed because of a neck injury, Petton Jr. missed because of a broken left elbow, Wiseman missed because of a right knee injury, and Porter's right foot was sore. It is doubtful at present (50% may play).
On the Grizzlies' side, Tilly (back injury), aldama (knee injury) and Morant (right knee bone contusion) are confirmed to be absent. Morant must have missed the G6 game, after ESPN reported that Morante was expected to be reimbursed for the season.
This also means that Momo Bear will continue to play. In the last game, they beat the Warriors by 39 points at home, leading by 55 points at most! The G6 away game against the Warriors is another chance for them to save themselves. At present, the grizzly bear with a total score of 2-3 is still on the edge of the cliff. Only by winning the G6 can they compete with the Warriors for the tiebreak, and the home of the tiebreak is in Memphis.
Grizzlies officials showed the boarding photos of the players, and they planned to fly to the Bay Area to try to reach the next city. Morant also started with the team. Grizzlies players look relaxed. Is it the pressure of warriors? There are also three heroes in the photo. Jones, Jackson and Bain all scored 265,438+0 points in the G5 War, helping the Grizzlies beat the Warriors.
The G5 defeated the Warriors, which made Morant very happy. He went to film the interviewed teammates one by one, and also shouted Mai at the scene: "Grizzly bears advance in the seventh battle! Grizzlies advanced in 7 battles! " But as a star player, it is also an embarrassing form for him not to play in the Grizzlies' victory. Some grizzly bear fans even went to Morant's social media comment area and asked him not to play G6.
In fact, Morant's injury also decided that he could not play G6. He doesn't expect to need surgery, but he will rest for a while. In the absence of Morant this season, the Grizzlies' record is 2 1 win and 6 losses, averaging 13.9 points (including 73 points), 25+ in 8 games and 30+ in 5 games.
In terms of warriors, the problem of chasing dreams is serious. NBA reporter Sam esfandiari counted the data of the first round and the second round of dream pursuit today: in the first round, he beat the Nuggets 4- 1 and played in the dream pursuit 164 minutes, scored 48 points and 37 assists, with only 8 mistakes. At present, he leads the Grizzlies 3-2 in the second round, chasing dreams for 13 1 minute, getting 24 points and 28 assists, but he made as many as 20 mistakes.
On May 13, Beijing time, Morant decided to miss the Warriors G62,2021-22 NBA playoffs. Warriors and Grizzlies both released team injury reports, and six people from both sides were absent from G62. On the Warriors' side, Iguodala, Peton Jr. and Wiseman continued to be absent. On the Grizzlies' side, Morant, Tilly and aldama are also absent. This means that Grizzlies will play G6 in the Western Conference semifinals with Mo Xiong's squad.
Although Morant still failed to return, he always stood with the team. This time the Grizzlies went to the Bay Area, and Morant also went with the team. Even if he can't play, Morant still hopes that he can cheer for his teammates on the sidelines. After all, the Grizzlies will be able to drag the series into the tiebreak through another victory. If the tiebreak is really held at the home of the Grizzlies, then the Grizzlies will have an advantage.
Grizzly bear officials also took photos of the players before boarding the plane, which were exposed at Morant Shuai Airport. Morant's clothes are a little gothic this time? Black hoodie+black shorts, even socks are black. However, Morant did not wear shoes, but put on a pair of slippers. Morant's calf muscles are also well developed. No wonder he has such a strong explosive force on the court. Morant, however, still can't be too careless, trying to avoid injury is the most important thing.
Perhaps it was the reason for the snapshot, and Morant's expression was slightly serious. Except for Morant, the other Grizzlies players look relaxed. After all, the Grizzlies scored 39 points in the G5. Today, the Grizzlies are 2-3 behind the Warriors, and the Grizzlies still have a chance. As long as they try to win the G6 series, the Grizzlies will keep their hopes of advancing to the Western Conference finals. It's just that Morant can't play, and the Grizzlies are once again incarnated without Mo Xiong. Whether you can maintain a good state at the home of the Warriors will also become the biggest attraction!
Although Morant is the star of Grizzly Bear, Momo Bear seems to have more team cohesion from the competitive state this season. In the regular season of this season, Mo Mo Xiong has a record of 20 wins and 5 losses, with a winning percentage of 80%. In the playoff stage, Mo Mo Xiong's record is 1 win 1 lose, with a winning percentage of 50%. However, considering that Momo Bear scored 39 points, it also made many fans more optimistic about Momo Bear. Of course, even if Mo Xiong is excellent, Grizzlies will renew Morant's contract. After all, this is the guarantee of the team's ticket income!
According to the schedule, the series G6 of Warriors and Grizzlies will be held on May 14. Will the Warriors end the series at home, or will Momo Bear continue his magical performance? This is really interesting!
