Every season in the NBA regular season, there will be a dark horse team that makes fans shine, this season's NBA is no exception, after the start of the regular season, the Bulls of the East, under the leadership of new signing DeRozan, rushed to the first place in the East with a wave of consecutive wins, and in the Western Conference, the Grizzlies, who have been struggling for playoff qualification before, have played a wave of eleven consecutive wins with very high gold content, cutting the Lakers, Suns and Warriors to the top of the standings! But in the last game, the Grizzlies lost to the Lone Rangers to stop the pace of winning streak, this time they ushered in the challenge of the first Bulls in the East at home, the latter is now plagued by injuries, LaVine, Ball Ball and Caruso can not play, the Grizzlies naturally will not miss this excellent opportunity to beat the opponent, after the game began, the Bulls only resisted one section, and then the game entered the time of the Grizzlies, they once established a huge lead of 28 points, In the end, it also easily defeated the Bulls 119-106, giving the East the first four consecutive defeats!
In the case that the three core players could not play, DeRozan and Vucevic became the two most trusted players on the Bulls' inside and outside lines, but their performances were far from meeting the expectations of the outside world, and DeRozan, who had previously killed opponents to usher in another spring of his career, did not show his beautiful shooting ability under the close watch of the Grizzlies, hit 10 goals in 24 shots, got 24 points and 5 assists, and made 4 personal mistakes.
Although DeRozan has a certain gap from the high expectations of the fans, but the personal performance can still be accepted by the fans, on the contrary, Vucevic can be said to be directly exploded by the opponent in this game, playing 30.2 minutes of Vucevic, 13 shots only hit 2 goals, a total of only 7 points into the account, completely unworthy of his nickname of Vulcan, his downturn is also the root cause of the team's rout.
As the absolute core of this Grizzlies team, morant's performance in the game can only be said to be decent, 17 shots hit 8 goals to get 25 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists, but he got enough help from his teammates in the game, the Grizzlies have a total of six players to score double digits, last season's first round of the 30th rookie Bane, in the new season has made great progress, has become one of the most stable scoring points for the Grizzlies. He also carried the team's offensive banner in this game, shooting 10 of 17, including 3 of 7 three-pointers, cutting a team-high 25 points tied with Morant, becoming one of the biggest contributors to the Grizzlies' victory.
The Grizzlies can be a blockbuster this season, the absolute core Morant is naturally indispensable, but it must not be ignored, the progress of other role players at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, today's Grizzlies offensive end everyone can stand up to solve the problem, and on the defensive end is a brave scramble, which is also a lot of fans have ridiculed, planning to change the Grizzlies championship Reason, I believe that after Dillon Brooks return to the team, the Grizzlies' combat effectiveness will be further improved, whether it can win the championship is not clear, But they will be opponents that all teams in the playoffs do not want to meet!
