Don't get angry, don't be abusive, for the Grizzlies and Morant, losing is actually a good thing.
After visiting a circle of major platforms, all of them are recruiting Morant and singing the rhythm of the fading grizzly bears, in fact, why bother?
The Grizzlies have a lot of problems, but the high-light win rate of the regular season covers up a lot of problems, such as Adams, who is a double-edged sword, the offensive end can provide high-quality blocking, plus a good offensive rebounding rate, but the defensive end, Adams is also easy to be trained by the military, how to use the playoffs, is Jenkins's biggest headache problem;
There is also Jaren Jackson Jr., whose defense and basket protection are really good, but he will always get into foul trouble, and Jackson's protection for rebounds has not been ideal, so when Adams can't exist on the court, will the Grizzlies' rebounding advantage still exist;
The most critical is the core Jia Morant, his growth rate is really too fast, the first year averaged 17+, the second year approached 20+, the third year directly to the 6th place in the scoring list, can average 27.4 points per game, shooting rate can also reach 49%, especially the basket to end this piece, Morant's shooting rate can reach 69.1%, and 3-10 feet in this area, Morant has a hand of accurate small throwing, shooting rate can also reach 43.4%.
So, even if Morant's outside threat is not good enough, he can still attack the city and play the role of a super scorer, with no problems with 40+ and 50+ in a single game.
Coupled with good team results, soon, Morant was pushed to a very high position, surrounded by surrounded by crowds, there was no gap at all, and it was impossible to see how bumpy the road was when coming, and the Grizzlies were the same, especially after the remnants defeated the defending champion Bucks, as well as the former king Warriors, many people had high hopes for the Grizzlies this season, but in fact, it was not the real Grizzlies and Morant, but what you imagined them to look like.
From losing the first game, to winning 2 consecutive games, to losing again, the gorgeous coat of the Grizzlies was torn off by the Timberwolves one by one, and all the problems were exposed to the public.
So I said that for the young Grizzlies, this is actually a good thing, through this series, whether it is losing or winning, they will have a very clear understanding of themselves, and this will also directly affect the direction of their offseason reinforcement.
Secondly, Morant, who has not encountered much setbacks along the way, will also stop and take a good look at himself and continue to adhere to this style of play, can he exchange for MVP and championship? Looking at the G4, when there is no whistle, his help on the offensive end of the team is only a pass, this battle, Morant shot 4 of 13 and 3 of 3 from the free throw line, scoring only 11 points.
Shooting, shooting, shooting, important things to say three times, you can not have three-point projection ability, but at least to have a middle shot, Wei Shao, in the possession of the ball to rush the basket, there is also a mid-range threat, and the empty three-point opportunity is not bad, in contrast, the current Morant, even if there is an empty position, is also holding the ball to protrude.
Many problems in the regular season can be covered up, because the opponent you are facing is not the same team, or how to say that the playoffs are the stage to test the stars, especially when encountering opponents of equal strength, you can see the color of the stars, for Morant, his career is still just the beginning, everything is still too late.
