莫兰特34+6+8！复出首秀绝杀！可惜了，MVP被裁

On December 20th, Beijing time, the Grizzlies challenged the Pelicans away, and Morant, who was banned for 25 games for pulling out his gun, finally ushered in a comeback! Finally, with Morant's stunner, the Grizzlies narrowly defeated the Pelicans 115-113! This is also too awesome, the first game of return completed the big heart kill, the Bear King celebrated domineeringly: "I'm Back!" James tweeted for the first time to congratulate: "12, that's all!"

Morant started the game for 34 minutes, shooting 12-of-24 from the field, 10-of-12 from the free-throw line, and scoring 34 points, 6 rebounds, 8 assists, 2 steals and 1 block! In the first half, the Grizzlies once trailed the Pelicans by 24 points, and Morant only scored 7 points at the end of the half, but the second half broke out directly, and 27 points led the team to a reversal!

Hopefully, Morant can take this as a warning, and the court is where his own value is reflected. Speaking after the game, Morant said: "My teammates are also my brothers, and we worked hard together to train and get treatment. They helped me a lot in the process. It was they who told me to stay positive and persevere. ”

Morant's comeback is a stunner, and the worst player must be Kenneth Lofton Jr.! In order to welcome the smooth comeback of the gun king, Chubby has finally become a victim. The Grizzlies officially announced that they would cut Lofton and keep Biyombo. Why did the Grizzlies cut Morant's comeback? Because the team needs to vacate a spot for the gun king!

As soon as the news came out, fans also expressed their dissatisfaction, knowing that Lofton has been playing for the Grizzlies for two years, and Biyombo is just a temporary signing from the team this season, but the last person to leave is Chubby...... It can only be said that from the perspective of role, Grizzlies management believes that it is more important than Yombo than Lofton, after all, Adams is reimbursed for the season.

Kenneth Lofton Jr., undrafted in 2022, 1.98 meters tall, 124KG in weight, the 21-year-old played a total of 39 games for the Grizzlies in the first two seasons of his career, averaging 4.1 points and 3 rebounds per game! Lofton played 15 games this season, averaging only 6.6 minutes per game, 2.6 points and 1 rebound, shooting 37.8% from the field and 30% from three-point range.

In fact, many fans are very optimistic and like Lofton, so they have given him several nicknames, the most famous of which are "Little Fat" and "Bamboo Pole Buster"! The leader still clearly remembers that as long as Wembanyama or Holmgren play well, there will always be such a sentence in the comment section: Reward a Lofton.

This is not just talking, in the NBA career, Lofton and Wembanyama and Holmgren have all played against each other, the fact is that the little fat has blown them all up! Brothers who have played wild ball know, don't say anything thin and powerful, if you are Wemban, meet a player of Loftton's weight, it is so easy for people to beat you on their backs, after all, this body is not long for nothing.

If you want to say that Lofton vs. Wembanyama, the most classic battle is still in the FIBA U19 World Cup! At that time, Lofton represented the United States team against Wembanyama, the "French Spider-Man", and the ending was that the zebra was pressed and rubbed! At that time, Lofton was fatter than now, and Wembanyama looked even thinner than now.

The opponent Holmgren was in the summer league, and everyone's eyes were on Holmgren at that time, and no one knew the undrafted pick, and as a result, Lofton did not give face to his former teammates at all, and gave Holmgren enough to choke. It was at that time that everyone was attracted by the little fat Lofton, the left-handed general, a bit of a little Randolph.

A more classic battle is that last season's Grizzlies lost to the Thunder in the final game of the regular season, Lofton started the game for 40 minutes, shot 17 of 25, slashed 42 points, 14 rebounds and 1 steal, scored and rebounded a new career high, and was also the first player in the class of 2022 rookie to cut 40+!

It's hard to imagine how much energy this player would burst out if the Grizzlies focused on training and giving Chubby more opportunities! Don't forget that Lofton was still the MVP of the Development League that year, and he was also successfully selected for the All-Star Rookie Game as a Development League player! Unfortunately, this is the cruelty of the NBA, it can only be said that Chubby is really a pity, and the only hard flaw is that he is too short.

The good news is that after Lofton was cut, sources revealed that there are multiple teams interested in him! Leaving the Grizzlies may not be a bad thing, it means that Chubby is about to have a new start, what if he plays in the next stop? Of course, welcome Morant back, I hope the Bears will stop making mistakes and continue to contribute wonderful games to the fans!
