The Grizzlies' interior flaws suffered three straight losses, averaging a net minus 26 points per game, and the dilemma became even deeper
The Grizzlies have lost three in a row, losing by an average of 26 points per game, which is where their weakness lies!When Rand just returned, it was assumed that the Grizzlies were going to have a wave of northward travel, but the truth was shocking. This result is like laughing at the grizzly bear: Brother, here you go again?
In the last three rounds, they have lost to the Nuggets, Clippers and Kings, losing by 79 points, an average of 26 points per game.
The biggest problem is still in the restricted area, Adams and Clark have both exited this season, and the Grizzlies' interior is like a soft persimmon, in their eyes, they are the best three-point line. The game against the Nuggets, which looked like it was given by the Grizzlies themselves, easily scored a triple-double, and in terms of rebounds on the court, the Nuggets were 53-36 Grizzlies. Against the Clippers, the Grizzlies also managed to bring a touch of warmth to Xiaobu, Dazhi shot 7-of-8 and had 15 points and 20 rebounds, compared to the Grizzlies' stats, the Clippers 54-33.
In the game against the Kings, Sabonis scored 13 points, 21 rebounds and 12 assists to beat the Grizzlies 59-34. No matter what their opponent is, the Grizzlies can make them lose an average of 20 rebounds. Conversely, even if the opponent doesn't score, they can play two or three balls, and when they miss, they see the opponent hit one attack after another, scoring the basket.
That's it. In addition to the interior problems, the Grizzlies have a lot of other problems. In the beginning, what they did best was physicality and rebounding. However, in the eyes of the Grizzlies, Morant, Bane, Smart, Kennard, Rose, Wenwei, none of these people can reach more than two meters.
Although the defenders were huddled together, it didn't make much of a difference and looked like a bunch of dolls. With no height, no head, no confrontation, no defense, the Grizzlies' problems aren't just in the restricted area. In terms of attack, all players tend to be single-handed, with poor tactical awarenessIn terms of defense, each team member seems to have a looser belt than Morant, although it looks like there is, but with a slight stroke, it is completely gone.
Maybe you're going to say, that's what's the dpoy of the grizzly bear?This guy does have a bit of a knack for defending the basket, but that's it. JJJ is a great pick-and-roll player who likes to prove himself with stats, but he doesn't know anything about defense and defense.
So, more than any defensive player, JJJ needs a power forward who can dominate the three-point line, which means that JJJ needs Adams more than any defensive player.
Morant's problems are gradually revealed in the game. Like his neighbor's "Cannon King," Morant prefers to operate in his restricted area, and while he has good breakaways, he rarely shoots from the outside.
Morant is shooting just 12 percent from three-point range this season and shooting just 0 from the field6 pcs. Such shooting efficiency calls into question his ultra-long-range shooting, compared to his three-point shooting of just 333%, average 0Only 0. for 3 three-pointers1 pc. No one voted, and no one dared to vote.
As long as the opponent restricts two capable people in the restricted area, it is equivalent to cutting off one of the Grizzlies' arms. The problem with the Grizzlies isn't that they haven't figured out where the problem is, it's that there are so many problems that need to be solved. In the face of such a grim situation, the difficulty of Mo Dashuai's command can be imagined.
