Morant's growth history is unique, and every star's growth environment is different. They appeared on the NBA stage, and they all accumulated step by step. From quantitative change to qualitative change, superstars all started from small people. Morant's physical talent did not overflow when he was a child, but gradually became a blockbuster in NCAA through unremitting training. When others chose a one-year college career and announced their participation in the NBA draft, Morant, like most talented but not top college players, continued to wait for opportunities, so he went to college for one more year than many NBA leaders.
Dianshen: Dunk, everyone loves to watch it!
Old Morant was an excellent basketball player in high school. As we all know, he is ray allen's teammate, and his brief intersection with Hall of Fame players did not bring him effective luck. Ray allen went to college and made a basketball movie called One-on-One Hit. Washington's performance was very powerful-his father's sense of responsibility almost overflowed the TV screen, and he went overseas as a star in sumter, South Carolina. I'm going to make some milk powder money for the unborn Morant. After Morant was born, Old Morante gave full play to his powerful hands-on ability, gave up basketball, and opened a hair salon with his haircut qualification certificate to support himself.
No matter what his occupation, his father is always great. Even in prison, the father played by Washington is still trying to fulfill his role as a father-there are thousands of ways for a father to love greatness, and the most cruel one is to train you with life! This is how Morant was treated.
Morant has been strictly trained by Old Morant since he came into contact with basketball. I lost, and your boy came back to me. That kind of ferocity is a kind of spiritual indoctrination, which is ruthless and painful. Moran trains on the concrete floor in the backyard for two hours of firm strength training and skill training every day. It doesn't count after that. Keep practicing. The content of the exercise is to jump on the tractor tire that has been built for 25 times, and then develop it to 50 times. Jump to Morant and doubt life. That's how the spring on his leg was trained. Don't envy. If you work hard enough, dunking will never be a distant dream.
Morant said: "At first, the training process was very hard. Many people think that players need a professional trainer to guide training, but my father doesn't think so. "
Old Morant said, "I have a lot of experience in basketball games. I see a lot of abilities from him that players don't have. Morant showed a golf dealer at the age of 65,438+02. "
Morant said, Dad, am I good enough?
Dad rolled his eyes and looked angry: damn, it's terrible! You can play worse.
Morant had nothing to do, so he ran to the cement stadium in the community to play wild ball with a group of older children. He is not afraid of confrontation. After being humiliated, he often rushed back to his opponent, posing in a fighting posture and shouting, "I'm not afraid of you, you idiot!" "
This is his life, venting his anger in the wild court and being taught a lesson by old Morant when he goes home!
Morant is used to his father's sternness and swearing. He is really a "life sunspot". The way his father treated him made him never stop training hard. He knew that his performance was not good enough in his father's eyes.
Old Morante said: "In fact, I really want to praise him, but I have been urging him to become better, which has also given him more motivation to train hard." Under my influence, he has been trying to make himself perfect. What I can do is to motivate him in this way. In order to have a better performance on the NBA stage one day, he needs to work hard and sweat, which is the test he must go through. "
It is conceivable that the old man thought about it from the beginning, and he would train his son to the level of NBA, and he would never give up until he reached his goal.
Unfortunately, Morant's performance in high school was ok, but it backfired. Even though Morant averaged more than 20 points per game, he was not favored by professional scouts because of hardware defects. He doesn't have any stars, and "sporadic" has become the source of his anger, because his short-lived AUU teammate Zion Williams and another great player Barrett are all five-star players, and all NCAA scouts regard them as treasures!
Morant High School averaged 27 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists in the last two years, and once played a super performance with an average of 56 points. However, in the end, no famous school invited him. I thought the road ahead was long and bumpy. Coincidentally, he got the backup place in the basketball camp, Fort Sparthan, and I didn't know that this kind player gave up his position. Morant met Matt McMahon, head coach of Murray State University. Morant scored 36 points in the decisive match of training camp. His performance conquered coaches Matt and frank martin of the University of South Carolina. The day after the competition, he received olive branches from these two universities. Finally, Morant decided to join Murray State University after a visit. Morant said, "What attracts me most here is that it gives me a feeling of home."
Interestingly, Moran's extraordinary height experience is very similar to that of C J Mai krum, whose height varies from175-183-191cm, and height determines fate. ...
In the first round competition between Murray State University and Marquette University, Morant showed his spiritual characteristics incisively and vividly, and Marquette University was superior in paper strength. Surprisingly, Morant had the last laugh in this game. He led the horse racing team of Murray State University, which ranked worse, to beat Marquette University by a big score, and scored 17 points 16 assists 165438 rebounds. This is also the eighth player in the NCAA league to get triple-double data. The last player to get a triple-double in the tournament was Draymond Green, 20 12. No matter what tactics the opponent uses to defend Morant, he always has a way to deal with it. Young and mature play has established the position of the team in one fell swoop! In this game, the team scored 83 points, and Morant scored or assisted 55 points. In the past ten years, no player has the ability to bring so much help to the team. The assists of 16 in this game also set the second record in the number of assists in the NCAA league. The first Mark Wade from UNLV (University of Nevada, Las Vegas) created 18 assists in 1987.
Old Morant gloated: "He was never afraid of challenges and competition, which only made him perform better. I expected the result. "
This is the spirit of Morant! Not afraid! And the style of the game is full of arrogance.
In a classic duel of sophomores, Murray University VS University of Tennessee-Martin, Morant's absolute height (2.03m) severely hit Quentin Duff's self-confidence-Morant wandered around the free-throw line with sharp eyes, looking for opportunities like a falcon. Because the defender paid too much attention to the passing route and ignored Morant's running without the ball, his teammates got the message when he saw Morant shaking suddenly, and the other side was eager to cut inside. The ball landed firmly in his hand. Morant sent the ball once and flew directly to the basket. It was Duff who overtook him. Two people fighting in the air, Damien duff fell, Morant slash! This ball made the audience boil and became the best scoring shot in the sports center that day.
If you give me a collection of his career, I want to make a dynamic blur here, and connect the lens of Baines, a white bug, turning his face to the sun. His 19 1CM height is powerful and stretches, which perfectly explains the violent aesthetics of basketball!
We all love to watch dunks!
God: Being famous is only a matter of course.
The reputation of the guardian god was not given to him by any teammate. Compared with James' pure king, Morant doesn't seem to think it's inappropriate to give himself the name of God, because when you put on a superb performance, all the criticisms are enough. I am the god of vacancy!
"Praise makes me weak," Lillard once told his college coach Randy Lach.
"I'm here to prove myself. I will only be myself and try my best to help the team win. This is the NBA, and everything will be very different: speed, space, everything. But in the end, I played basketball. There are some athletes who have the same talent and skills as you, so you must go on stage and learn from them to help you improve. " Morant said.
It seems that Lillard is more literary and rebellious, and Morant is like an essayist sitting under a tree, in a dull mood.
After the Grizzlies got rid of Conley and Gasol Jr., Morant became the star of the family. Maybe his dunk is really great! This is one of the ways to attract traffic. Isn't Zion sucking powder like this? However, because of Zion's health problems, he had to spend his first league game from the bench, and Morant seems to have set off a storm of his own, regaining everything he lost as a teenager.
He ushered in the outbreak of his rookie period, averaging 20.4 points, 5.2 assists and 3.7 rebounds in the first seven games of his career. He is an all-star player. His fearless style of playing looks like a slim version of Westbrook at first glance. Although the record is ugly, 5 wins and 2 losses, but this does not affect the attention of the media, fans and players.
"He loves basketball and is an indomitable fighter. He is very tough and a natural winner. " Matt McMahon once said of his disciples. You will find that the grizzly bear's record begins to rise. In the middle of the season, under the leadership of Morant, the Grizzlies started with a strong seven-game winning streak, leaving the Trailblazers, Pelicans and Spurs far behind. Until the outbreak, grizzly bears ranked eighth in the west with 32 wins and 33 losses. Morant and Grizzlies have become terrible mountains in the key position in the West, and Lillard's playoff dream may collapse here.
This season, Morant has made a good start to his career by averaging 17.6 points and 6.9 assists per game, and the team's performance is not bad. If there is no accident, as long as he doesn't suffer an eight-game losing streak in the next game, he has a great chance to lead the Grizzlies back to the playoffs. It's been some time since Conley's time. How many years? Can you work it out right away?
Entering the playoffs is a good opportunity for Morant to temper. The playoffs will turn a boy into a man, a man into a leader, and a leader into a strong man!
When one person faces another person and appreciates each other, they are like a mirror, and you can see similarities from each other. Morant said, "I admire those point guards who are aggressive and athletic, so my favorite player as a child was Russell Westbrook. ...... I just like him to stand up and fight for the team, regardless of anything, concentrate on the game and concentrate on your own business. "
So Morant will do the same thing as Westbrook, dunk and point guard, and take a different path. There are still many people in the league who have not been dunked by him. This season's playoffs (if they can break in) are only the first footnote of his career, and the future is bright.
