The most explosive dunk man in the league said he didn't want to dunk anymore

If you want to discuss who has the most explosive dunk in the league now, even if the duel between LaVine and Gordon, the dunk king, is still there, and even if Huazi has a lot of dunks in the past two years, the only person I think of is Morant.

When Morant wants to dunk on your head, even if Wembanyama is standing in front of you, he will use his amazing bounce to go head high and slam the ball into the basket. Note that many of Morant's dunks are smashed.

Every dunk, Morant seems to be challenging the limits of human beings to break through gravity, and his strength and speed are released in every dunk, especially the waist and abdomen strength that crowns the league, which makes people sigh at Morant's inhuman physical fitness.

What impressed me the most was Morant's failed dunk. Love wanted to make Morant's offensive foul, but he didn't expect the kid to almost fly over his head, nearly replicating Carter's death dunk at the Olympics. At the level of the slam dunk contest in the past two years, Morant may only need to use half of his skills to win the championship.

But unfortunately, such Morant is likely to be a thing of the past. Morant said in a recent interview: "I don't want to dunk at all right now. You all think I'm lying, but I'm absolutely serious. ”

"Sometimes I've been knocked down in the air and I didn't blow for a foul, and even if I did, I fell to the ground and you could feel the impact of that fall after the game," Morant said. So I'm also doing it selectively, two points is two points, and the most important thing is to throw the ball. ”

As for the dunk contest, Morant also said that he will not participate, and all he wants now is to contribute to the team and continue to work hard to get back to 100% health. I've always said that Morant should learn how to land more than how to take off. It seems that Rose's time with the Grizzlies, although short, has also had a profound impact on Morant.

Last season, Morant was on and off due to injuries and suspensions, and ended up playing just nine games before the season was reimbursed. While the injuries that cost him the season weren't a direct result of the dunk, Morant has probably had enough of not playing.

So at the beginning of this season, Morant's style of play has changed, no longer deliberately challenging the basket, and breaking through is still his main offensive means, but he can go to the basket and never dunk, and he is not reluctant to go to the basket without space, and he is looking for teammates with the ball. Morant is currently averaging a career-high 8.6 assists per game.

In the first six games of the season, Morant had only one dunk. However, even with Morant's caution, he lost his balance in the air during an attempt to catch a dunk, resulting in a subluxation of his hip and a muscle strain. This minor injury caused him to retire for two weeks.

In 12 games this season, Morant has only had three dunks. Even in the face of an unguarded empty basket on a fast break, Morant only jumped lightly to put the ball into the basket, drawing some boos from the fans on the sidelines. Morant said, "Keep booing me, I don't care." I scored two points, and it was a dunk, but not the kind of dunk they wanted to see. ”

Morant has proven himself to be one of the most explosive dunks on the planet, but beyond that, there's a lot more Morant needs to prove on the court. The premise of all this is that he stays healthy, and the guy who is higher than him in the same class is a lesson from the past.

The Grizzlies are an interesting team and resilient. Morant played 9 games and Bane played 42 last season, and the team's roster was fragmented, and I don't know how many sets of starters were changed, during which G-Jackson and Vince Williams were trained.

GG Jackson had surgery in the offseason this season and hasn't played a game now. The Grizzlies have Pippen Jr., Khuf, and Wells, the No. 39 pick this year, and no matter how uneven the team's roster is, they can always tap their potential from the inside to fill in.

Prior to yesterday's loss to the Mavericks, the Grizzlies had a six-game winning streak and are currently in the top four in the West at 14-8. The "grinding and strangling" Grizzlies have never been far away, but have only been dormant for a season. Now, they're back in the slaughter.
