Not Paul's "58 Massacre", but the 73-point feat of the Grizzly Bear slaughtering opponent
What is the record for the largest point difference in NBA history? Was it the "58 Tragedy" in which Paul lost by 58 points in the playoffs? No, the record setter was the Memphis Grizzlies in the 21-21 season. I vaguely remember that when the Grizzlies faced the Thunder at home, the two youth teams played a strong showdown; In the end, the Grizzlies bombed 152 points in a single game, and also limited the Thunder's offense to 79 points, slaughtering opponents by 73 points, and setting the record for the largest point difference in NBA history. You might say, what's so strange? The Grizzlies have a rising star like Morant sitting in the natural and unstoppable place.
Last season, the Warriors' journey to victory was caused by the Grizzlies
The fans who had this doubt didn't want to watch the game much, and Morant didn't show up in that game, which is a great feat for the Grizzlies. In fact, we are very impressed with the Wumo Grizzlies, in the second half of the regular season last season, the Wumo Grizzlies exploded a wave of more than ten consecutive wins, showing us the image of a team that integrates attack and defense, and was once considered a favorite for the championship. When Morant was brought back, this team put a lot of pressure on the Warriors in the Western Conference playoffs, and it also showed us how good this youth army is.
Why is Wumo Grizzly so good? Attack and defense are impeccable
Why is the Grizzlies' offense and defense so powerful? In fact, it is not that Morant is not strong, but that the Grizzlies' players are stronger overall; When Morant was out, the Grizzlies played more holistically, and there was no weakening on the defensive end. After Morant returns, the distribution of the ball is not so even, and the team will also rely on his singles ability; Moreover, Morant's height is a shortcoming and will become the target of opponents, so the Grizzlies have certain shortcomings.
The three-gram calf double-kill warrior dew the championship fangs, and the grizzly bear is still strong
And this season? The Grizzlies were not at peace, not only losing backup center Clark, but Morant also hasn't returned after the end of his suspension. However, the team is quite competitive, still sitting in second place in the West with a 44-27 record, the same record as last season. In addition, the state of the Wumo Grizzlies is extremely hot, playing a wave of three consecutive wins; During the absence of Morant, the Grizzlies were as good as they were last season, with three grams of Mavericks and a double kill of the Warriors; Of those nine games, six were won.
Of course, the strength is good, but the arrogance of the grizzly bear is growing day by day
Despite the good results, the arrogance of the team has not changed, whether it is the star or the role player. Morant claims to be the "god of point guards" and believes that no team in the West is a rival to the Grizzlies, and only the Green Army in the league is worthy of the role of his opponent; Forward Dillon bluntly said that the Warriors' Klay is garbage, and he even moved to make Payton Jr. leave the court injured last season. As a result, terms such as arrogance, villains, and arrogance have become the lingering labels of the Grizzly Bear's youth army.
After defeating the Warriors, Klay's gesture of four fingers to the Grizzlies also caused dissatisfaction among the Grizzlies, and the two teams were also considered to be a bond.
The grizzly bear quietly became the public enemy and villain representative of the alliance, but it did not conform to the laws of historical victory
Unconsciously, the Grizzlies team has become the representative of the villain and the public enemy of the league; How far can the Grizzlies go? Anyway, our generation has not seen such an arrogant image before the success of any team? Whether it's the Big Three Heat, or the Spurs, who are all soldiers? Or the invincible Golden State Dynasty is not arrogant to this extent.
Those who become great things will not be so ostentatious, and quietly becoming bigger and stronger is great wisdom
The grizzly bear has only shown its fangs to win the championship, but has not yet won the championship to prove its strength, and his words and deeds are even a little ahead of their time. There is also a thing in this world called "accumulating character", that is, to do things silently before success, and to do things in line with normal logic and behavioral norms, otherwise "you always have to pay it back". Hopefully, this Grizzly Bear team can play the ball well on the ground and wait until the championship to celebrate, I believe that this mentality will allow the Grizzlies to go further.
