The Grizzlies picked out the first game in the East at home, and Morant and Bain were still the stars who led the team to win, but the limelight on the court was snatched up by Adams, who only scored 2 points. He not only limited one of the Bulls' best scorers, Vucevic, to the embarrassing efficiency of 13 shots and 2, but also in a conflict, he directly took away the 220-pound strong man, and gave in without a fight, perfectly calming the storm on the field.
In the middle of the final quarter, Morant broke through to the basket, and the Bulls' defender Tony Bradley stretched out his feet to block it, after which he gently hugged Morant, probably worried that his actions hurt the other side, a little apologetic. But Morant felt that he was being viciously offended, and he was also pulled by the body, and a nameless fire immediately rose, he chose to fight back head-on, Bradley could not let go of his face, and the two suddenly broke out into a conflict.
Teammates rushed forward to block it to avoid further escalation. Grizzlies center Adams, who was standing just behind Bradley, immediately hugged his opponent, but Bradley was still tugging at Morant's jersey. This on-field conflict was on the verge of erupting, and the emotions of the players present were ignited.
However, Adams did not pull the side, and his next move directly amused everyone. Only to see Adams directly carry the bull weighing more than 220 pounds inside the line, and quickly walk away from the crowd. The referee didn't react for a moment, didn't know what Adams meant, and felt a little confused.
Adams then patted his opponent lightly to reassure Bradley to "calm down"; Morant's side, the prestigious DeRozan also calmed his emotions. A storm subsided.
In this conflict, Adams's absolute power has sparked a heated discussion on social media. Many people joked, "Adams took away 220 pounds of internal line, just like lifting a bag of potatoes." "If the referee doesn't stop it in time, Adams may have taken Bradley to the Pacific."
After the game, Grizzlies player Jaren Jackson revealed that Adams also hugged him, "When I was picked up, it felt like time had passed back, and I felt like I was back in time as a 7-year-old." It would feel helpless to be held by Adams, and I think Bradley felt that way. "I have to say that Jackson was shocked by his teammates.
In recent years, although Adams is one of the strongest players in the league, his temper is docile, he has never bullied others, and he has always been convincing with reason. It doesn't matter if the opponent is unreasonable, Adams is just the thinnest child in their family. It is reported that Adams' father married 5 wives and had 18 children. One of Adams' sisters is an Olympic champion in shot put, and two older brothers also play in the New Zealand Basketball Pro League. Who wouldn't want to reason with such a family?
