To say that the NBA's hottest young player this season, I believe many people will think that it is Morant, this season Morant can be described as a season of continuous improvement, the team has a high record this season, currently in the Wild West in the second place, on the one hand, the team's lineup depth is outstanding, on the other hand, because of Morant's continuous growth this season. Not only that, but Morant himself was selected for the All-Star Game, and achieving such an achievement in his second season still gave fans high hopes. If the Grizzlies can maintain such a record to end the regular season, Morant is also very likely to be selected for the best team in the regular season, so this season's Morant can be described as a spring breeze and horseshoe disease, seeing all the Flowers in one day.
The most important reason Morant is loved by fans is that his playing style is flowing, his physical fitness is explosive, and he can often make some incredible moves. As we all know, Morant's dunks are often very exciting, and the next dunk is also a common thing for him. This season, center players who have tried to block various teams many times, including players like Pelter, have unfortunately become the background board for Morant's dunks. In a recent interview, Morant also said that the player he is most looking forward to is actually James, and it is not a side buckle, but hopes to complete the leap against James from the front, which shows that Morant is quite confident about his dunk. Of course, he also has fully such ability, but it is not known whether the two teams will have a chance to let Morant fulfill this wish if they play each other.
Of course, this season, old Zhan was blocked many times, after all, in the Lakers' small lineup, old Zhan will serve as the center of the team a lot of time, which means that James needs to do more tasks to protect the frame. After all, Old Zhan is not a pure center player, and many times his height also limits his ability to protect the frame. There is also a high probability of being completed by the opponent. It is believed that the most classic dunk of James this season was completed by Clarkston in the peak game with the Nets. Clarkston's dunk was so powerful that James became a background board, and finally the Nets won from the road, which can be described as "shrimp pig heart".
But morant wants to block James is not an easy task, after all, James's physical fitness is also very good, defensive experience is also sufficient, many big men on the inside line can not take too much advantage under James's defense. Unfortunately, the Grizzlies and Lakers have not had a chance to meet in the regular season this season, even if they enter the playoffs, the Lakers can only rank 8th in the West, and the Grizzlies currently have a great chance to lock in the 2nd place in the West, so if you want to see Morant block James may have to wait until next season.
It is worth mentioning that after Morant said his expectations, the happiest should be Gobert, Morant has tried to block Gobert many times in the game, and several of them are very close to successfully completing the partition. But unfortunately it was never done. But Gobert naturally didn't want to be Morant's backdrop, and now he might be able to breathe a sigh of relief. Who do you think will be the next player to be reduced to Morant's backstage?
