0+0+0+0！ Morant is down again! The Clippers have been invulnerable

From March 1 to 15, Morant averaged 31.3 points, 4 rebounds and 7.7 assists per game, with a true shooting rate of 63%.

Well, this is what everyone has high hopes for, not playing guns and focusing on basketball, the future is limitless.

However, after March 15, Morant suddenly disappeared, saying that he had been out of action for four consecutive games because of a sore left hamstring.

According to statistics, this guy has missed games this season, and the Grizzlies are 15-13, and the importance is self-evident.

In the recently concluded game, the Grizzlies without Morant were defenseless in front of the fully integrated Clippers, losing 108-128, and the statistics of the two teams are as follows:

The Clippers, who are fully healthy as they approach the playoffs, are gradually showing their fangs, winning all of their last five games, during which they have an offensive efficiency of 124.6, a defensive efficiency of 103.4, and a net efficiency of +21.2.

The most important thing is that Leonard is slowly getting back to his rightful level, and has scored 20+ points in five consecutive games, and 11 of the last 13 games are 20+.

How far the Clippers can go in this year's playoffs depends largely on Leonard's form.

Sorry, it's too early to say the Clippers are in the playoffs, they are still seventh in the West in the playoff zone, one win behind the sixth-place Warriors.

In fact, the Warriors & Clippers can completely improve their rankings without satisfying their current position, such as kicking the Grizzlies who are close at hand.

As mentioned above, Morant is out injured and has no comeback schedule, and the Grizzlies are a soft persimmon without him.

So taking advantage of his illness to kill him, there is no mercy in competitive sports.

Speaking of Morant, there is no doubt about his ability, but the problem is that injuries have been too frequent in recent years, and he has only played 52 games in total between last season and so far this season.

Especially this season, the Grizzlies have strictly controlled Morant's playing time, and currently only averages 22.3 points, 4.1 rebounds and 7.4 assists in 30 minutes per game, but they still can't stop the injury.

Morant is only 25 years old, but the glass attribute is gradually serious, which is inseparable from his dynamite bag style of play, averaging 10.9 points per game so far this season, accounting for almost half of the total score, a small guard plays like a beast-type interior line, and the physical load can be imagined to be unbearable in the long run.

Maybe my brother asked, can't Morant try to stretch his bow and arrows on the outside?

Of course, the problem is that there is no room for ability and trial and error at this stage.So far this season, he has averaged 1.5 three-pointers on 29.1% shooting per game, and his three-point shooting percentage has reached the second lowest in his career.

Entering the NBA in '19 and six years into this year, Morant's three-point shooting has not only not improved, but has also deteriorated year by year, which is also one of the biggest obstacles to his ceiling, and his best season (21-22) has soared 1.5 three-pointers on 34.4% shooting per game.

Injuries + underdevelopment of the offensive arsenal are Morant's two major weaknesses today, if they can be improved, they can soar, on the contrary, maybe in a few years, before the age of 30, they have to completely withdraw from the All-Star ranks, this is by no means alarmist, such examples abound!
