Basketball

On November 10, the NBA regular season continued, and the Oklahoma City Thunder went away to challenge the Memphis Grizzlies. The Thunder have suffered constant injuries and their starting lineup has changed again and again, but they lead the league with 9 wins and 1 loss. In this campaign, Dortmund is absent, and the Thunder's starting lineup is SGA + Mitchell + Harten + Holmgren + Wallace. The Grizzlies are in turmoil, and the relationship between Morant, Jaren Jackson Jr. and the coaching staff can only be understood and unspeakable. The starting five are Morant + Jaren Jackson Jr. + Wells + Landale + Pope.

When the game came on, the two teams fell into a stalemate early, and the score was tight. The Grizzlies continued to attack during the rotation period, and once established a huge 19-point lead. After the Thunder's main force returned, they frantically chased points. The Grizzlies still led by 11 points at halftime. After changing sides and fighting again, the Thunder doubled their counterattack, launching a 34-18 attack wave in a single quarter, taking the lead in one fell swoop. At the end of the quarter, the two teams fell into a tug-of-war, and the suspense of the game lasted until the end. The Grizzlies' offense was cut off, and the Thunder seized the opportunity to use a wave of offensive climax to widen the point difference to double digits. The Grizzlies were all over! In the end, the Thunder defeated the Grizzlies 114-100.

From leading by 19 points to losing by 16 points in the third quarter and then losing the game by 14 points, the Grizzlies made great strides, then fell and failed. The gap between them and the defending champion is by no means a single point. The Grizzlies were able to seize the opportunity because of their touch and their accuracy, while their opponents were completely inaccurate. The victory was three points and the defeat was three points. In this campaign, the Grizzlies made 17 of 44 shots from beyond the three-point line, with a shooting percentage of 38.6%, while the Thunder made only 10 of 43 shots from beyond the three-point line, with a shooting percentage of only 23.3%. But the problem is that when the Grizzlies lose their touch in the final quarter, they have no solution or candidate to solve the problem, and the Thunder can rewrite the game in other ways even if they don't have the touch. At the end of the game, the Thunder outscored the Grizzlies 56-32 in the paint and used turnovers to outscore the Grizzlies 17-9. The Thunder defeated the Grizzlies with 19 points. This battle made me see three facts clearly.

First, the Thunder's fault tolerance rate is too high. They have great prospects for defending their title and are expected to win 70 games. Defeating the Grizzlies may not be worth mentioning, but the scary thing is that the Thunder can complete a shocking 19-point comeback even though they are short of major generals and only hit 23.3% of their three-pointers. The fault tolerance rate is too high! After 11 games, the Thunder have 10 wins and 1 loss, with a winning rate of 90.9%, far ahead of the league. For comparison, the Spurs, Nuggets and Pistons, which are tied for second in winning rate, have a winning rate of only 77.8%. At least judging from the current situation, the Thunder's prospects for defending the title are better than imagined. As long as they are willing, they have a chance to hit 70 wins and even break the Warriors' 73-win record.

Second, Beiqi is as stable as a dog and is expected to defend the MVP title. The Thunder completed a shocking 19-point comeback, and Bei Bei was the number one contributor. Bei Bei played 35 minutes and made 11 of 22 shots (3 of 9 three-pointers) and 10 of 11 free throws. He scored 35 points + 7 rebounds + 6 assists + 2 steals. The plus-minus value on the field was +28, the best in the game! According to statistics, this is Beibei's 83th consecutive game with 20+ points, breaking his own record for the longest time in the league. At the same time, this is the 10th time Bei Bei scored 30+ points this season, the most in the league. In the words of NBA star Lou Williams, Beiqi firmly controls the initiative to defend the MVP. If the Thunder win close to 70 games this season, the MVP trophy may be awarded directly to him.

Third, the Grizzlies are demoralized and should be dismantled. The Grizzlies lost a good game. Morant and Jaren Jackson Jr. are not interested in playing, and their status is like a mystery. Morant played 33 minutes, making 3 of 18 shots (2 of 7 three-pointers), 3 of 4 free throws, only 11 points, 3 rebounds, 8 assists and 1 steal, with a plus-minus value of -23, the lowest in the team; Jaren Jackson Jr. played 28 minutes, 6 of 16 shots (3 of 7 three-pointers), 2 of 5 free throws, 17 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks, and 0 of 5 in the final quarter turned into an undercover. I don’t know if Morant and Jaren Jackson Jr. deliberately put eye drops on the coaching staff, but one thing is for sure, the conflict in the Grizzlies locker room cannot be hidden. If it needs to be broken, it should be broken. If it is broken, it will continue to be messed up! Fans and friends, what do you think of this? Come and leave me a comment to discuss.
