The Grizzlies have the highest win percentage, and Morant's return has breathed new life into the team.
After a 25-game suspension, Morant has been in excellent form, not only not regressing in terms of physical fitness, but also performing well in the game. His comeback brought a new vibe to the Grizzlies, and the team performed very well.
The players who worked with Morant also burst out with strong fighting power, and everyone contributed outstanding performances to the team. Morant and teammate Bane form the most suitable backcourt duo, one is good at breaking through with the ball and the other is good at shooting off the ball.
They work together very well and connect the team's attack. In addition, Morant can also improve the performance of his teammates and bring more open opportunities to the team.
The Grizzlies, who have Morant, have shown a strong all-around strength on the court. Morant's comeback has not only brought a technical boost to the team, but more importantly, a morale boost.
The Grizzlies are full of fighting spirit, they show great ambition, and they don't look like a Western underdog at all. However, the Grizzlies still have a long way to go before they can make the Northern Expedition, and they currently sit in 13th place in the West, some way from the play-in zone.
Despite this, the Grizzlies are not discouraged, and they want to be like the Lakers, through hard work and running-in, to succeed in the counterattack. Looking back, the Lakers started the season with a 2-10 record, and the odds of them making the playoffs are extremely low.
However, through mid-season trades and the team's efforts, the Lakers eventually made it to the Western Conference Finals. The Grizzlies can learn from the Lakers' example and be confident and try to show their strength despite the doubts of the outside world.
Of course, the Grizzlies still face a lot of challenges on the remaining schedule, but as long as they stick together and do their best, there may be hope. At a case hearing before Morant's comeback, plaintiffs' attorneys asked him if he wanted to be the face of the NBA and if he wanted to be a role model for young people in Memphis.
Morant made it clear yes and said he would go the extra mile to achieve those goals.
For Morant, promises of words are less proof of action.
He knows that only by showing his determination and hard work through practical actions can he become a role model for the team and young fans. Morant's comeback has injected new hope into the Grizzlies, and his outstanding performance has inspired the whole team to fight and give the team a taste of victory again.
Now, the Grizzlies are eager to rewrite the story of winning and losing again, and with strong strength and firm belief, they are rushing forward on their own Northern Expedition. They understand that only through joint efforts and unapologetic dedication can their ideals become reality.
The Grizzly Expedition is not a joke, but a chase for victory.
