The Phoenix Suns, who are second in the West, are at home and face the challenge of the Memphis Grizzlies, and in this battle, the Suns' inner core Ayton entered a health agreement and thus failed to play. In the first three quarters of the game, the younger and more energetic Grizzlies gave last season's Western Conference champions a "downhill" and at the end of the third quarter, they still maintained a 12-point lead. However, after the start of the fourth quarter of the game, the Suns immediately strengthened their aggressiveness on the offensive end, and Johnson, known as "Huang Zhong", relied on accurate three-point shooting to slash 12 points in just one section, which can be described as an arrow through the heart. With 5 seconds left in the game, Devin Booker made a slight adjustment after receiving the ball at the top of the arc, and threw a key three-pointer into the game against the defense, almost covering the "headwind" drama, but in the end, it was still their most trusted Ja Morant who stood up for the Grizzlies.
After the Grizzlies called out for a final timeout, the camera captured Morant's face, filled with determination and composure in his eyes. After receiving the ball on the outside, Morant, out of 3 of 5 three-pointers in the game, did not choose a three-point shot, but like a sharp blade, he met Bridges' defensive inertia into the box. At the end of the day, Devon Booker and Bridges, who came to defend, both blocked in front of Morant's field of vision, intending to interfere with Morant's shooting space, but at this time, Morant once again showed the world his strong waist and abdomen ability, using the time in the air to adjust his shooting state and complete a shocking stagnant kill. Throughout the game, Morant hit 12 goals in 25 shots, cut 33 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists, and helped the Grizzlies hit the opponent once again and win this back-to-back victory.
Born in 1999 in Dalzell, South Carolina, Morant was an obscure player in high school, at best a "three-star high school student." However, after joining Murray State University, Morant was transformed into a starting star in the NCAA under the guidance of Coach Mahone. In the 2019 draft, the Grizzlies used the second pick in the first round to take Morant into the pocket, and the Grizzlies' decision that year actually subtly changed the development direction of the entire team, in memphis, which is quite cold in the ball market, Morant is like a rising moon, gradually illuminating the entire night sky.
In the previous period, Morant had been absent for a long time due to injury, but in the game against the Thunder in the return game, the Grizzlies unexpectedly lost, so after the game, many local Grizzlies fans were even more critical of Morant, believing that his return disrupted the rhythm of the team's win. In an interview after the game, Morant said that before, these fans would still shout for him and shout MVP, but after losing, they immediately turned the limelight and regarded him as a tumor in the team, which made the 22-year-old feel very heartbroken, so Morant chose to shut down his social media and shift more focus back to the stadium.
I have to say that Morant is really a very rare basketball wizard, of course, all of this is due to his outstanding physical talent, fast, good bounce, fast bounce, seems to have become Morant's label. In the game, Morant's means at the offensive end are extremely rich, he not only has a certain medium and long-range projection ability, but also has excellent ball-holding breakthrough technology, and a clever half-intercepted basket is even more amazing to the fans who watched the game. However, for Morant, the gorgeous style of the game is no longer something he is chasing, and what he wants more now is to once again gain the recognition of the Grizzlies fans, hear the MVP call, and lead this young team further. This game, this time the kill, Morant once again sharply sheathed, only to fight for the right name.
