Basketball

On November 10, the NBA regular season continued. In a game that ended today, the Grizzlies lost to the Thunder 100-114. In this game, the Grizzlies once established a 16-point lead. However, the defending champions showed their strong offense and defense and directly overtook the score 34-18 in the third quarter. Alexander hit two three-pointers at the critical moment in the last quarter to kill the suspense of the game. After winning the game, the Thunder had 10 wins and 1 loss, still ranking first in the league.

In this campaign, Alexander made 11 of 22 shots, 3 of 9 three-pointers, and scored 35 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists, and 2 steals. He was worthy of being the league's superstar. In the first half, he made 5 of 14 total and scored 12 points. In the second half, he immediately made adjustments and scored 23 points on 6 of 8. Alexander is very similar to Duncan in that he never has mental problems and can make adjustments quickly. Chet scored 21 points, 7 rebounds and 2 assists, Mitchell scored 21 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists, and Harten scored 18 points and 13 rebounds. They are still very strong without Jaywe.

The Grizzlies played the team basketball Isalo wanted in this game. A total of 6 people on the team scored in double figures, and 8 people scored more than 9 points. But Jaren Jackson, the team's top scorer in this game, only scored 17 points and 7 rebounds. The best performer for the Grizzlies in this game was Coward. He scored 13 points, 10 rebounds and 4 assists on 4 of 12 shots. He also scored 4 offensive rebounds. The team leader Morant's performance was disappointing. He scored 11 points and 8 assists on 3 of 18 shots.

Not only was the offensive efficiency poor, but Morant also felt like he was arrogant in this game. After the team took a big lead, he added fire to the Thunder and deliberately grabbed the frame to interfere with the ball. In addition, he made many three-pointers in this game. As for Morant, everyone knows that his worst thing is three-pointers. As a result, he made 7 crazy three-pointers in this game, and this was not Morant's first game.

The matter goes back to the previous NBA Cup game against the Lakers. The Grizzlies still had the advantage in the first half. However, in the second half, after Morant dribbled the ball past half court, he gave the ball to his teammates and stood watching. In the end, the team was overturned. It was learned after the game that the coach criticized him in the locker room and was dissatisfied with his style of play. As a result, Morant was suspended for one game because he openly expressed his dissatisfaction with the coach in front of the media.

Morant has been suspended. Logically speaking, the coach should not add fuel to the fire. As a result, after the game against the Raptors, he openly stated that the team did a reasonable job, and this also completely disappointed Morant. Against the Pistons, everyone He made 5 of 16 field goals and could make field goals and three-pointers. He never rushed to the basket. He made 6 of 19 against the Rockets. In these two games, he made a total of 1 of 11 three-pointers. When facing the media, Morant also openly stated that he can no longer find the joy of playing with the Grizzlies.

Since the Grizzlies banned Morant, it can be said that they have not paid much attention to Morant. Otherwise, who would punish the star for the coach? Morant also made a statement. In the past five games, Morant averaged 15 points and 9.2 assists per game, shooting only 27.6% from the field and 10.7% from the three-point range. Seeing this, some fans may say: If Morant wants to leave the team, shouldn't he play better? Who would want it if his performance was so bad?

At this time, we might as well think about it the other way around. Morant deliberately played so poorly in order to lower his price so that teams interested in him can get him more cheaply. Although Morant has been poisonous in the past few years, His attributes are disgusting, but his ability and talent are here, and there are still many teams interested in him, such as the Kings, Heat and Timberwolves. If they can get Morant with only a first-round pick and 1 young player, they will definitely be willing, even if they let go, they will not lose.

The Grizzlies are in a bit of a bind now. When they suspended Morant, the team must have had the idea of ​​trading him, but now the team is still facing a problem. Their second-in-command Jaren Jackson is also dissatisfied with Isalo's rotation. Both cores are dissatisfied, which also shows that there is a problem with Isalo's rotation, but the team has already broken up with Morant, and it is estimated that cutting Isalo will not appease him. If Isalo is cut for Jaren Jackson and then traded for Morant, the team will suffer a huge loss.

The Grizzlies are simply playing a bad game with a good hand. The team is originally a small ball market, and their attention is not high. Having a star with Morant's style of play has increased their attention. Morant has led the team to the top two in the Western Conference twice before. However, due to their recent breakup with Morant, they once had a home game with the lowest ticket price of only $2. The team spends so much on stars, how can you still make money?

Since the conflict, the Grizzlies have neither traded Morant nor waived Isalo because they are now in a dilemma. If the team drags on like this, their record will only get worse. Before the conflict, their record was 3 wins and 2 losses, and now they are 4 wins and 7 losses. It is too difficult. Having said that, what do you want to say about the current grizzly bears?
