The NBA play-offs continue today with the Dallas Mavericks facing off against the Memphis Grizzlies.
The Mavericks had previously beaten the Sacramento Kings to end the season early and reserve one last playoff chance for themselves. The Grizzlies lost to the Golden State Warriors, and core guard Morant was also injured, and he even needed to take painkillers to force his game on.
Before today's game, Morant was revealed to have a serious ankle injury, and had no choice but to undergo emergency treatment to relieve the pain, and then insist on playing with the injury. In this way, the Grizzlies worked together as a whole team and really suppressed the Mavericks in terms of momentum.
The Mavericks also fought hard, and "Thick Eyebrows" Anthony Davis insisted on coming on the court, leading Thompson, Washington Christie, and Gafford and others to resist desperately. In desperation, the Mavericks are indeed limited, and they have no suitable main guard to intercept Morant after Irving's injury season is reimbursed.
Brother Thick Mei scored 20 points and 0 rebounds in a single game, which is worthy of the Mavericks, but he is still powerless. With half of the fourth quarter left, the Mavericks were already 0 points behind the Grizzlies, basically announcing the end of the suspense of the game, and Brother Thick Eyebrows' knee was also a problem, so he limped off the court to rest.
In the end, the Mavericks lost 8-0 to the Grizzlies by 0 points, ending the season's journey. The Grizzlies finished in the 0th place in the Western Conference playoffs, and they will face the Oklahoma City Thunder in the first round in what will also be a very difficult series.
The Mavericks have been a big failure this season, and they also reached the NBA Finals last season, but this season was a big disappointment due to serious injuries and sending Doncic away.
