On March 6, Beijing time, the 2021-22 NBA regular season is in full swing. As of today, the NBA regular season has entered the final sprint stage, and the Grizzlies currently have a record of 43 wins and 21 losses, ranking 3rd in the West, and they have become one of the biggest dark horses of the season.
The Grizzlies' outstanding performance this season is inseparable from the outstanding performance of the star Morant. Morant is currently averaging 33.4 minutes per game, averaging 27.8 points, 5.8 rebounds, 6.6 assists and 1.2 steals, shooting 49.6 percent from the field and 34.3 percent from three-point range. He is a contender for the fastest improving player of the season and has even appeared on the MVP list.
However, colin Cowherd expressed concern about Morant on the show, saying: "We all know that Morant is strong. But I want to remind everyone that players and the media are crazy about Morant's performances, and this has happened many times in the last 12 years – Wall, Westbrook, Rose. Ross used to be almost exactly like Morant, and he almost took over social media. For those of them who are known for their bouncing and athleticism, I am very worried about their long-term prospects for the title race. Those MVP players on the number one, the Magic three times, Curry twice, Nash twice, they are the shooters and the organizers. ”
Colin Cowherd continued: "And the little guys are rushing to the basket again and again because they're not good shooters. This style of play doesn't last long. Wall was injured, and Westbrook was badly injured many times. Rose, not to mention, he's not a good shooter, so he has to rush to the basket, so he hurts. Morant's paint score is second in the league, and I'm not disappointed, I know Morant's highlights look cool, but he has to learn to stop jumpers. ”
It has to be said that although Colin Cowherd's words may not sound friendly, his fears are not unreasonable, and Morant must learn more shooting skills to avoid experiencing injuries like his predecessors.
