Against the Lakers exploded 41 points, 10 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks, Morant did not disappoint, in today's game against the Spurs, Morant continued his own highlight performance, playing 32 minutes 66.7% shooting rate no one can stop, three-point shooting 3 of 3 is too terrible, the whole game cut 30 points, 6 rebounds and 8 assists, and did not make a mistake, leading the Grizzlies to easily win the Spurs.
Maybe the Spurs are a declining dynasty, but the Spurs, who have the first coach in NBA history, Popovich, are actually not so bad, the problem is that Morant is really too inexplicable, he is like kobe who let Popovich get rid of the tactical board, Morant used Popovich's praise for him, completely showed his talent.
Popovich spoke about Morant in a pre-match interview, and he gave this young man a very high opinion: a player with special talent, with extraordinary speed.
In short, Popovich praised Morant with talent and speed, which is indeed too pertinent, without exaggeration, although Morant will be crushed to the ground by the same champion Zion at the beginning of his career, but Morant is no worse than Zion. Zion's talent is there for all to see, without a little choice to crush Morant to become a champion, the commercial value is more envious of Morant, and Zion was selected as an NBA All-Star last season and became an All-Star, but Morant may not be expected to become an All-Star until this season.
Zion averaged 27 points, 7.2 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game last season, shooting 61%, and Zion, whose personal data is very brilliant, was named an All-Star, which is indeed understandable, because Zion's popularity and influence far exceed Those of Morant, but the NBA is a long track, who is the real top star, Morant is using the same leap to prove that he is not worse than Zion.
Statistics show that so far this season, Morant has scored 30+ points in a single game 9 times, while Morant scored a total of 9 times in a single game 30+ points in the first two seasons of his career, and with Morant's hot state, Morant's single 30+ points will be more this season. Probably in terms of average points per game, Morant's current average of 24.7 points per game is still different from Zion's average of 27 points per game, but compared to the gorgeous personal data, Morant is obviously more comprehensive, he can become a quality leader of a team, the changes of the Grizzlies in these two seasons are visible to the naked eye, compared to the Pelicans or the Western Fish Belly, the Grizzlies are already a playoff-level team, and Morant's role lies in this.
Morant's talent should not be ignored, maybe Zion is very strong, let everyone think that Morant can win the best rookie because Zion rookie season missed too many games, not to mention Zion's second season of career to be selected as an All-Star, all gave Morant a lot of pressure, but Morant has talent and speed, these are Popovich's praise to Morant, and Morant also began to end the offense with three-pointers, which Is something that Zion does not have, especially Morant's health and attitude towards the game. Zion really isn't necessarily better than Morant, and if the Pelicans were allowed to continue making a choice, they might not have chosen Zion.
