On May 7, when Curry left the game early due to injury, the dream burst out and became the "thigh" of the Warriors, leading the Warriors to suppress the Timberwolves to expand the lead by up to 23 points, and blocked the Timberwolves' tenacious counterattack in the final quarter to win the victory. Zhu Meng scored 4 three-pointers in the whole game, contributing 18 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals, creating a record of the highest score in a single game this year, and also using two consecutive explosive performances to prove your value.

It is worth mentioning that Dream Chasing has set a number of records:

First, Dream Chasing has reached a milestone of 1,000 assists in his playoff career, and he became the 15th player in history to achieve this achievement.

Secondly, Zhu Meng became the fourth active player who achieved 1,000 assists in the playoffs, second only to James, Paul and Harden.

Third, Zhu Meng created a record of the highest score in a single game this year's playoffs, with the previous highest score of 16 points in the last round tiebreak.

Fourth, Zhu Meng created a record of the highest three-point shooting in a single game this year, and before that, he made 3 shots in a single game in the previous round, and 2 three-point shooting in a single game.

In the first round of the series, the first six games of Dream Chasing were scored in single digits, and he played the role of "villain". After all, he had a total of 23 fouls in the first round, 2 malicious fouls and 4 technical fouls. However, in the first round of tiebreak, Zhu Meng burst into pieces and scored 16 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists.

Now in the first game of the Western Conference Semi-Finals, Zhu Meng made 7 minutes and 45 seconds in the first quarter, scored 2 points, 1 rebound and 2 assists, which was a normal performance on the court. However, in the second quarter, Zhu Meng ushered in an explosive performance. He made 5 of 6 in a single quarter, especially 4 of 5 three-pointers from the outside, thus scoring 14 points in a single quarter, becoming the Warriors' number one offensive thigh.

Zhongmeng made 6 of 8 in the first half, including 4 of 6 three-pointers, scoring 16 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals, becoming the number one hero who led the Warriors to overtake the Timberwolves 13 points in the first half, and was also the player with the highest score in the two teams in the first two quarters.

Of course, Zhu Meng returned to the familiar mode in the second half, and he once again became invisible on the offensive end, but relied on defense to help the team. Zhu Meng even once played a guest role in the coach off the court, drawing tactics with a tactical board, and a group of teammates also surrounded him and listened to Zhu Meng Zhu and talked about tactics.

When the Timberwolves continued to counterattack and chased the single-digit score difference in the final quarter, the Warriors always had players who could stand up and give a reply, and they finally successfully defeated the Timberwolves away and made a good start in the Western Conference semi-finals.
