Beijing time on January 24, the NBA regular season continues, today the Lone Ranger sat at home to usher in the challenge of the Grizzlies, to say that the origin of the two teams is quite deep, before the Grizzlies' 11 consecutive wins are the end of the Lone Ranger, today I thought the Grizzlies could complete the revenge, after all, their strength and impact can not be underestimated, but the result is that the Grizzlies were killed by the Lone Rangers at 91-104, and the whole team was defended by the Lone Rangers.
Before the start of the fourth quarter, the Grizzlies had only one person on the team, Morant, who scored double-digit points, and in the end, only three people on the team scored double-digit points, Morant tried his best, shooting 14 of 31 from the field, 3 of 3 points, 0 of three points, 3 points, 3 points, 6 assists and 1 steal, Jaren Jackson shot only 4 of 17 from the field, 1 of 4 from three points and 1 for 10 points, 4 rebounds and 1 steal, substitute Melton shot 5 of 16 from the field, and 1 of 3 from 3 for 12 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists.
Today Morant shot 31 shots 14 of 31, the rest of the teammates totaled 68 shots 23, the shooting rate is only 33.8%, see, this is why they want to help Morant, even without Morant during that period they can achieve consecutive wins, that is by the thickness of the lineup, if you really meet a strong team, you still need Morant This kind of existence that can complete singles, break the ice at key moments, and lead the team to victory.
The Grizzlies are known for their defensive aggressiveness this season, and their average steals and blocks are the league's firsts, but today in terms of blocks, the Grizzlies were taught a lesson by the Lone Rangers, the Grizzlies only had 3 full-court blocks, and the Lone Rangers gave them 12, the Lone Rangers' defense this season is really good, they have been in the top four of the league so far this season, a team with limited athleticism has played such a defense that is commendable, and this is the credit of Kidd, and Doncic has also set a good example on the defensive end this season. Led the teammates.
Doncic faced Morant's violent performance, he responded well, 13 of 25 shots, 2 of 7 three-pointers, 37 points, 11 rebounds, 9 assists, 3 steals and 1 block, Porzingis shot 6 of 11 from the field, 2 of 3-pointers and 2 of 7 from the field for 15 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists and 6 blocks, Brunson had 13 points, 3 assists and 1 steal, Brunson's growth this season is a critical part of the rise of the Lone Ranger, and Kidd can dig him out to be commendable.
It's worth mentioning that Kidd said about Doncic in an interview after the game, saying: "I know Luca wants me to say so, his defense is really great! Doncic also spoke about his defence after the game, saying: "My neck is still stiff, but it's better, we will continue to recover, and I think our defense has improved a lot, but this stems from our team's defense and our defense helped us to win." ”
After the loss, the Grizzlies ranked third in the division with a record of 32 wins and 17 losses, but the Jazz were only 1 win away from them now, and after the Lone Rangers won, they also reduced the gap with the third place in the division, and now they are only 4 wins away from the Grizzlies, I have to say that the Lone Rangers are still really strong, the Grizzlies have defeated the strong teams in the league again and again this season, like the Warriors and the Nets, but they did not expect to eat up in succession here with the Lone Rangers.
