Iverson said: "Morant he's so cool, as long as his shots find the feel, you're going to be in trouble, he has all the skills. ”
In the first few games of the season, the Grizzlies star Morant circled a large number of fans. Agile footsteps, super fast speed, can suddenly shoot, coupled with creative passing, playing is very ornamental, really let many fans breathe!
However, Morant's basketball path is not smooth, and unlike those star-second-generation players who were born in "Roma" since childhood, Morant was born in a remote small city, his physical talent is not outstanding, and his height is only 1.73m in his first year of high school. His thin body allowed him to be bullied on the field, but his love for basketball did not diminish at all. All of this was seen by Morant's father, who, as a teammate of Ray Allen's high school days, decided to help his child complete his basketball dream.
Since then, weight training has become a common thing, "not tall enough, bounce to make up" Morant's father took him to use the tires in the backyard to carry out bounce training again and again, and finally at the age of 14, Morant completed the first dunk in his life.
With that insistence on basketball, Morant played his mark in the NCAA League, averaging 24.5 points and 10 assists per game in his sophomore year, and has since shook the NCAA League. In 19 years, he decided to bring his talent to the NBA and eventually became the top show of the year, and the person in front of him was Zion Williams.
Coming to the NBA, although he dared to fight for the rookie Morant, he dedicated many highlight moments, such as taking out Irving's key goals in the killing moment, almost blocking Lefour, leading the team to kick the Warriors out of the playoffs and so on.
In the latest Grizzlies-Warriors game, Morant faced the tall defender Wiggins, calmly handling the ball made the audience scream, he first pretended to attack to the left, opened the space, saw a gap and immediately turned around to pass the defender, and finally scored under the gaze of the Warriors' 4 defenders. How can such a clever way of playing make the fans not love. In this campaign, Morant scored 30+7+5+4 stats and led the team to send the Warriors to the first defeat of the season.
That's Morant's story, and of course his excitement continues to play out, with some saying he's too much like Westbrook and Rose, with brilliant violent dunks, good at passing and aggressive rebounding. But he was himself, a rising NBA superstar, Ja Morant. Finally, I wish him that he can fly higher and shine brighter in the NBA.
