When discussing the NBA's hottest team right now, the Grizzlies are a team that can't be ignored. Although this team is not particularly popular in the NBA, its performance in recent times has been eye-catching enough. Especially in the absence of Morant injured, they have continuously defeated strong enemies, ushered in a wave of consecutive victories, and also played a performance of all the people. This has made the majority of fans have more expectations for this season's Grizzlies, and even many fans and media believe that this year's Grizzlies may rush out of the West.
The current Memphis Grizzlies are 54-23, temporarily in second place in the West and are likely to make the playoffs second in the West. In fact, before the start of the season, no one thought that the Grizzlies would be so strong. But with Morant's rapid growth, the Grizzlies have shown a different fighting ability. What's more, the Grizzlies are also a team of young players, with a large number of young talents here, coupled with good execution, so that they can always make the right choices in the game.
The reason why the team is so strong is inseparable from Morant's spiritual leadership. Fans who follow this season in the NBA know that Morant has continued to score high scores this season, and has also staged a lot of scoring at key moments. In the MVP selection list, Morant has also been on the list several times. Under the guidance of this spirit, the other young players of the Grizzlies will play with a more sense of purpose and can also reflect a different spirit.
Not only that, but the team's lineup is also relatively neat. The team not only has superstar players like Morant, but also has enough depth of players in all positions. Coupled with the team's young talents who dare to fight, the Grizzlies can always play a very high performance in some games with more gold content. Fans who regularly watch Grizzlies games know that in those games where the Grizzlies win, there will always be 3 or 4 players scoring 20 points at the same time, and for such teams, winning is usually not particularly difficult.
What's more interesting is that in the absence of Morant's injury, the Grizzlies won 18-2 results, which made the outside world have a different view of the Grizzlies as a team, and there were some voices questioning Morant. The reason for this situation is, on the one hand, because Morant has brought a good spirit to the team, so that young players dare to fight, and under the leadership of Morant, the team has a new goal to pursue, and better stimulate the morale of the players. Even in Morant's absence, the Grizzlies played well on both ends of the offensive and defensive lines.
The second is the Grizzlies' basketball culture, which has had a profound impact on this team. The Grizzlies have always been a very good team, and they will strictly implement the tactics and arrangements of the team coach, so that there is little conflict between the players and they can well overcome the danger at the moment of the game. Coupled with the fact that the team coach pays more attention to defense, the team has a fuller confidence. Even in the face of some games that are temporarily behind in the score, they have the confidence to reverse the game, which allows us to see such a strong Grizzlies.
Nonetheless, Morant's influence on the Grizzlies is not negligible. Especially in the playoffs, it is more necessary for superstar players like Morant to open up the situation and help the team go further. After all, the playoffs are competing with superstar players, which also increasingly reflects the importance of Morant. There is also a point that everyone needs to pay attention to, for those teams with more young players, there will usually be a time to pay tuition. But in addition to being young, this Grizzlies team has rigorous tactics and a strong spirit, which is also a key reason for the possibility of helping the team rush out of the West, are you optimistic about the Grizzlies?
