Now the NBA's young people are really remarkable, the records of their predecessors have been broken by them, and they have begun to stage their own legends early, such as Doncic, Trae Young, Mobley, etc., but when it comes to the most eye-catching supernova of the season, it is Morant.
Morant is known as Serena Williams, known for his outstanding bounce, super physical fitness and explosiveness, and is also a super point guard since the draft in recent years, but because of the same year's champion Zion, Morant's aura has been greatly affected, and has not been much recognized by the outside world!
Under the cold reception, Morant was not in a hurry, improving himself step by step, and finally raised his name to the height of a superstar this season.
So far this season, Morant has played in 47 games, averaging 26.7 points, 5.9 rebounds and 6.8 assists per game, including 7th in the league in points and 14th in assists, the data has come to the peak of his career, and he has led the Grizzlies to rank 3rd in the West.
Today, Morant led the team to continue to move forward, the team encountered the 2nd Bulls in the East blocked, facing this Eastern Conference team with DeRozan, Ravin, Vucevic, Morante did not have the slightest timidity, personally 15 of 28 shots scored 46 points, leading the team to victory.
The Bulls are also a super offensive team, and after the opening, Vucevic, DeRozan and Lavin took turns to attack, giving the Grizzlies a downside! In the face of the opponent's offense, Morant stepped forward, constantly using speed and explosive power to storm the inside line, taking advantage of the basket, leading the Grizzlies to play 10-0 to occupy the initiative, and pulled a 9-point difference in the first quarter.
Bain and Jones also worked hard in the second quarter to help the Grizzlies continue to widen the point gap! In a hurry, DeRozan is no longer hidden, relying on his offensive ability to play a 12:4 offensive wave to narrow the point difference! Then LaVine and White continued to pursue, facing the opponent's attack, it was Morant again, the air turned to layup, the inside line dunked, the outside line shot 3 points, Morant became the elf on the court, flashing and moving, no one could stop, helping the Grizzlies continue to expand their advantage, and took a 14-point lead at the end of the 3rd quarter.
Trailing by 14 points in the final quarter, the Bulls are in a bad situation, but they are the second team in the East after all, and the team has a deep foundation! Under the explosion of DeRozan, Lavin and White, the Bulls blasted 14-0 in the final quarter, chasing the point difference to only 4 points, seeing the hope of a reversal.
At the critical moment, Morant threw a stop to stop the bleeding, DeRozan, White hit 3 points in a row to continue the chase, Bane responded strongly from the outside, DeRozan then cut off the key ball, and was expelled because of dissatisfaction with the penalty, Morant seized the opportunity to hit a free throw and lead the Grizzlies to seal the victory and win the Bulls 116-110.
With a six-point win over the 2nd-place Bulls in the East, the Grizzlies showed their strength in the game, they can also compete for the championship this season, and the team can win, Morant played a pivotal role.
Morant went completely insane, shooting 15-of-28, including 3-of-3 from 3-point range and 13-of-15 from the free throw line to score 46 points, completely unstoppable. The Bulls' defense is like a fictitious for Morant, Morant uses his speed to hit the inside line again and again, dunks, fancy layups are even more dizzying, even if the Bulls send DeRozan and Lavin to stare at the key moments, it is still to no avail, Morant almost relied on the strength of one person to beat the Bulls, once again proved his strong strength.
15-of-28 46 points, which is the Grizzlies' regular season single-game individual scoring record, is also Morant's career highest score, the 22-year-old young man, this season ushered in a super rise, even the same year Zion has been far behind, he is the Grizzlies revival hope, but also has the opportunity to become a super guard who can compete with Iverson and Paul.
