In a previous NBA regular season game, the Memphis Grizzlies narrowly defeated the Houston Rockets 121-113 after a hard-fought battle at home. After this game, the Grizzlies, who ended a nine-game losing streak, improved their record to 19-36 and remained in 13th place in the West, while the Rockets' record slipped to 24-30 and remained in 12th place in the West.
In this game, the Grizzlies' backup star Gregory Jackson II (Gregory Jackson II) is still quite prominent. Jackson played 24 minutes and 11 seconds, shooting 8-of-15 from the field, 3-of-5 from beyond the three-point line, and 1-of-2 from the free-throw line, and efficiently scored a game-high 20 points plus 9 rebounds and 3 blocks for a quasi-double-double, including 3 frontcourt rebounds, and the plus/minus also reached +2. With not much playing time, Jackson has shown an amazing scoring explosion on the offensive end, he can use his breakaways to create damage, and he also has a fairly consistent outside shooting. Jackson's performance on the defensive end is also remarkable, not only can he provide rebounding support, but he is also very prominent in helping and supplementing, and he is also a reliable defender. Overall, Jackson's excellent performance on both ends of the floor was also a big factor in the Grizzlies' ability to overcome their opponents and end their losing streak.
In this season's NBA regular season, Jackson played a total of 20 games for the team, averaging 19 minutes per game, averaging 10.6 points, 3.6 rebounds, 0.8 assists, 0.5 steals and 0.7 blocks per game, shooting 44.3% from the field, 39.1% from three-point range, and 68.6% from the free throw line. Considering that Jackson is just a rookie and he didn't even get a chance to make the rotation at the start of the season, it's a rare thing that he's able to put up that kind of stats. Even though he didn't play too much, Jackson still proved his talent and strength on the offensive end, and it was clear that his self-confidence on the court was building up, and his contribution on the defensive end was also improving.
For the Grizzlies, the team's record this season is unlikely to improve significantly, and the team's ability to play the season in its entirety and find a few new talents with ability online is the most important task. At least as things stand, Jackson has definitely been one of the biggest highlights of the Grizzlies this season. Previously, the Grizzlies also made a regular transfer for Jackson, who was on a two-way contract, and Jackson was offered a four-year, $8.51 million contract, with a team option for the fourth year. If Jackson can keep up this performance, the Grizzlies' contract will definitely be a great value.
