The Grizzlies are in the same form as ever, and the winning streak continues! Against the visiting Washington Wizards, the Grizzlies young people didn't give them much chance, leading by as many as 20 points at halftime alone. In the second half, the Wizards tried to chase points, but they could not stop the Grizzlies from blossoming more points, and the rhythm of the game was always controlled by the Memphis, and finally the home team defeated the Wizards 115-95 and continued to be in third place in the West!
The brightest star of the game is still Morant, who played 34 minutes and shot 15 of 27, including 4 of 8 three-pointers, and shot a game-high 34 points, with a true and effective shooting rate of more than 60%. Scoring a high score of 34 without scoring a single free throw is enough to prove that Morant's scoring ability is indeed top-notch in the league. Led by him, the Grizzlies scored in double figures with six members of the whole team, and the victory of the game naturally came naturally. It is worth mentioning that Morant's number of free throws in this game is incomprehensible, and he has repeatedly killed the basket but has not had the opportunity to stand on the free throw line, and the referee's decision in this game has indeed attracted a lot of controversy. After a breakthrough in the fourth quarter, Morant even suffered a technical foul because he complained about the referee, and it seemed that the referee was determined not to give you Morant's free throw.
In fact, this is also a microcosm of the referee's decision on Morant's penalty this season. Averaging 6.5 free throws per game may seem plausible, but you have to know that Morant's 15.6-point interior score is the first in the league. Also the way to hit the basket, Alphabet Brother and Embiid averaged 11 free throw shots per game, which is the first gear of the league. Neither of them scored as much as Morant from the inside, but the free throws had more room to play. The top seven in the free throw table are even taken over by Eastern Players, and even in the West, Morant's number of free throws is not even as high as the pressure mountain. A higher number of breakouts, a higher number of inside shots, but not the corresponding free throws. That's the most realistic problem, and Morant doesn't seem to be welcomed by the league.
Many fans directly questioned whether Morant was suppressed by the league? There is also some basis for such a statement. In any case, no matter how unfriendly the external factors are, Morant still insists on being himself. The Western Conference All-Star starter has arrived, he is only 22 years old, and the future is immeasurable! You can even look forward to the MVP, who has the strength and the ability. Come on, Morant! The future is yours!
