The Gun King understated and won the rematch against the Gun King.
The plot is similar to the previous game, with the Pelicans leading into the final quarter, and the offense in the final quarter was blocked, and then the game was overturned.
The only difference is that in the last game, the gun king incarnated as an accurate gun god, and the last quarter was taken away directly by lore;
In this game, JJJ made a foul and dragged it into overtime, and teamed up with his teammates to dominate the overtime.
Many fans said that in this game, the referees helped the Grizzlies in the last game.
Judging from the progress of the game, the skill gentleman basically agreed, and probably expected the referee to help before the game.
It must be known that Morant has just made a comeback, the style of the gun king is exciting enough, and the plot of the Grizzlies from weak to strong is also good enough, and the league needs such a drama to stimulate the senses of fans and bring a new round of heat.
However, the help of the referee did not determine the direction of the game, and the outcome of the game was largely determined by the players.
As a very simple example, Morant burst into the basket in the final quarter and drew a foul, the Pelicans appealed, and the referee finally chose to cancel the penalty.
Objectively speaking, if the referee really wants to hack the Pelicans, he can directly send Morant to the free throw line and end the game.
And their choice is to let the two sides play one more overtime.
As a result, when the opportunity was given to the Grizzlies, they took it
And the Pelicans, missed the opportunity to win again and again.
Watch the other side overtake, lead, and win.
I have to say that the Grizzlies are really good at playing key shots, or in other words, the Pelicans really can't understand key shots.
Especially going into the fourth quarter and overtime, the Pelicans only did two things on the court:
Break through the cross corner shooter and throw the pot to Ingram for a hard break.
As for CJ and Zion, Qi Qi is invisible.
All of Zion's offensive threats are based on his high success rate and high lethality of strong shots
Entering the final quarter, the Grizzlies began to cover a wide range of clips, delays, and joint defenses, successfully limiting Zion's shooting percentage to 2-of-7 shooting in a single quarter.
When the power dropped, Zion's mentality changed, and even showed the absurd scene of not knowing what to do with the ball in multiple rounds.
The only way to solve the problem is to develop more offensive means. Zion, can you do it?
The offensive end is absurd, and the defensive end is barren.
Whether it was the final quarter or overtime, Zion was substituted in key defensive rounds in succession, and the coach had no trust in his defensive ability, and he didn't seem to feel humiliated.
Standing under a dangerous wall without knowing it is the most dangerous thing.
This year marks Zion's fifth year in the league.
Five years ago and five years later, there was no change in his skills, and he was still the reckless teenager who attacked the inside.
Can't defend, don't shoot well, don't know how to handle key ballsHe sweated freely in the regular season with his talent, and seemed to work hard, but he forgot that time waits for no one.
In 2019, the world's attention was on Zion, and he himself was the object of the alliance's support
In 2023, the league will replace the old one, and Morant will come from behind and become the league's rising star.
It's Morant's efforts and Zion's indulgence.
Hopefully, this game will wake up Zion and turn his prodigal son back.
After all, the opportunity to go back and start over again, maybe in a lifetime, is only a few times.
