On January 18, Beijing time, the Grizzlies defeated the Bulls 119-106 at home, sending their opponents 4 consecutive defeats! I have to say that the recent Bulls have been really miserable, and the first team in the East has lost to the Nets, Warriors, Green Army and today's Grizzlies. DeRozan is really unable to move, and looks forward to Lavin's early recovery and return.
This year's Grizzlies are really fierce, and this young team, led by Morant, has won 12 of their last 13 games (one of which lost to the Lone Rangers)! How terrifying is that? The NBA officially announced the latest issue of the team's combat strength list today, in which the Grizzlies rose to the top of the list! The Suns and Warriors are in second and third place, with the Digital Man rising to fourth, the Heat fifth, the Nets seventh, and the Lakers falling to 20th.
In the case that the Bulls side Lavin and the ball brother did not play, the first quarter ended the two teams scored a draw, from the second quarter, the Grizzlies suppressed the opponent in the whole field, until the end of the whole game, the game once lost suspense. The biggest highlight of the game was in the middle of the fourth quarter, Morant and Tony Bradley broke out into a fierce conflict, the two ate T, Bradley was also blown off for a first-degree malicious foul!
Here's the thing, with the Grizzlies on the offensive with more than five minutes left in the final quarter, Tony Bradley's outstretched foot as he defended Morant, and then Morant stopped in the middle of the block, and the two sides clashed. Morant pressed the ball into Bradley's face, bradley tugged on Morant's shirt, and then the referee and teammates intervened in time to pull the two apart.
It was clear that Bradley's outstretched defense angered Morant, and it was true that such a move on the court should not have occurred, so the referee watched the replay and gave Bradley a first-degree malicious foul. Some fans also said that Morant was a little excited, Bradley first hugged Morant and did not remember the meaning of the conflict, it was Morant who started the dispute first. What do you think?
In addition to the two parties, Adams and DeRozan's actions during the conflict deserve praise. In particular, Adams, everyone can see the duck egg standing in front of teammate Morant for the first time, in order to prevent the two from continuing to make physical contact, Adams directly carried Bradley away, and DeRozan also immediately comforted Morant.
This damn sense of security, to know that Bradley weighs up to 224 pounds, Adams' strength can be imagined, this hug has made Bradley happy. Soon after the game, Adams's move also rushed to the first place in the United States hot search! The duck egg people are really nice.
It is worth mentioning that the camera also captured Morant on the sidelines indignantly saying: "If you want to do it, I can fight with him." "Worthy of being a young man! Morant said after the game: "I have a group of guys around me and I'm not worried at all. If Adams had something like that happened, I'd help him too. ”
Morant played 31 minutes, shooting 9-of-17 and scoring a game-high 25 points on 1-of-3 shooting, plus four rebounds, three assists and one steal. After the clash, Morant directly scored a top ten goal! Breaking through the Bulls' tight defense, facing Malcolm Hill did not harden, but turned around and 360 degrees in the air to change the layup and hit!
In addition to Morant, the Grizzlies have five players to score in double figures. Bain had 25 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists, Jackson 14 points and 5 rebounds, Substitute Clarke 15 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals, Jones 11 points, 1 rebound, 8 assists and 1 steal, and Melton 10 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 steals.
For the Bulls, DeRozan shot 10-of-24 and 1-of-1 from three-point range, taking a team-high 24 points. Consecutive singles shots, and hooks 2+1! But unfortunately, it was still unable to help the team win.
This year's Grizzlies are certain to enter the playoffs, but now many people say that the Grizzlies are fierce in the regular season but do not mean that the playoffs are strong, after all, the team's young people are still too inexperienced. What do you think? How far do you think the Grizzlies can go this season?
