The Phoenix Suns hosted a challenge from the Memphis Grizzlies at home. In the first three quarters of the game, the younger Grizzlies were almost always on the sidelines, still holding a 12-point lead at the end of the third quarter. However, after the start of the fourth quarter, the Suns fought back, and with 5 seconds left in the game, they almost saw the hope of a reversal with Devin Booker's quasi-kill. However, in the final attack of the Grizzlies, the star Morant stepped forward and went inside alone, facing the defense of Bridges and Booker to complete a basket-to-basket stagnant kill, and finally helped the Grizzlies win back-to-back victory 114-113. There is no doubt that Morant and Bane, who both cut 30+ in both, became the hero duo of this night's Grizzlies' victory.
In addition to the two of them, however, Grizzlies center Steven Adams also made an indelible contribution to the team in this game. Due to the health agreement, the Suns' starting center Ayton failed to play, so on the inside, the Suns could only rely on mcGee and Smith to take turns to help the Suns complete the rim protection work. Under the "challenge" of the two of them, Adams the Sea King was stunned to play a humble mentality, playing 31 minutes, 4 of 5 shots, cutting down a comprehensive number of 13 points, 16 rebounds and 7 assists, in terms of hard-hitting confrontation and hand-to-hand card positions, the tall and strong Adams can be described as occupying a unique advantage.
It is worth mentioning that at the end of the game, Adams and McGee had some small friction in the hand-to-hand combat under the basket, and after McGee fell to the ground, Adams subconsciously wanted to lift McGee up, but at this time, McGee, who had held back the whole game, did not pay attention to Adams, but chattered with the referee. However, after the game, Adams and McGee, the two "little giants", came together again, at this time, the two of them had already turned into a jade, smiling at each other and shaking hands and hugging each other, just like two big boys who had just finished fighting and immediately reconciled, the picture was particularly warm.
In fact, when he first entered the league, Adams was not the image of beard and long hair as he is now, at that time, Adams, who had no beard and short hair, was more like a "cream boy". However, in the fierce and tough NBA survival law, Adams changed his creamy appearance and became a bearded "mature man", and the only thing that remained unchanged was his precious character.
I still remember that in the 18th Thunder vs Nuggets game, Adams flew opposite center Plumlee with a fake action point under the basket, and Plumlee fell from the air on Adams's body, the body has lost balance, at this time, Adams gave up the opportunity to play 2+1 under the basket, directly threw the ball aside, pulled Plumlee with both hands to avoid him from serious injuries, and Adams's move at that time also received unanimous praise from fans, just like today's physical conflict with McGee. After his opponent fell to the ground, even in the decisive moment, Adams would still reach out to his opponent. Of course, there are many athletes like Adams, who will make moves to protect their opponents after confrontation, but like Adams, there are really only a few players who will lend a helping hand almost every time and try to avoid conflict with their opponents, after all, they are all young people with strong blood.
At that time, after only a year at the University of Pittsburgh, Adams left the University of Pittsburgh and resolutely participated in the NBA draft, which he actually wanted to help his family reduce some financial burdens. In life, Adams has a total of 18 brothers and sisters, and he is only 28 years old this year, and he is also the youngest of all the brothers and sisters. Among Adams's brothers and sisters, there are also some very good sports players, but New Zealand Hercules Valerie Adams, who won the gold medal in the women's shot put event at the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, is the half-sister of "Aquaman" Adams, but Valerie is 9 years older than Steven. I have to say that in this alliance of the weak and the strong, adams with valuable character can really be regarded as a clear stream.
