On February 3, Beijing time, the Memphis Grizzlies defeated the New York Knicks 120-108, and the team's record reached 36 wins and 18 losses. After the game, the US media used three consecutive "crazy" to describe the Grizzlies' recent crazy performances. At the same time, the US media also listed a number of miracles for the Grizzlies.
First, the first crazy thing is that the Grizzlies have ranked first in the league in terms of number of wins (28 wins), net efficiency and defensive efficiency since December.
Second, and even crazier, the Grizzlies now have a record of 36-18, ranking third in the league, behind the Suns and Warriors.
Third, and most craziest, the Grizzlies' youth storm was surprising, with no player on the team over 30 and only three players over 25.
Fourth, since the beginning of the season, the Grizzlies have led the league in blocks (6.45) and steals per game (10.21). Since these two statistics began in 1973, the only teams that have been able to do this in the entire season are the Nuggets in 2007-08 and the Warriors in 2016-17.
Since the beginning of this season, under Morant's leadership, the Grizzlies have blown a storm of youth in the league. The Grizzlies have played well in their last 10 games, 8-2. Currently, with 36 wins and 18 losses, the team is third in the West and third in the league.
