At the end of September, the training camps of NBA teams will start one after another. Recently, the Heat player Morris reviewed his time in the Lakers interview. Performance, and look forward to the new season. Some words can only be said after being abandoned. Of course, we can understand it as the annoyance of love and hate, but can't wait for it, or it can be understood as an angry, mocking counterattack, and destruction if not obtained. The Lakers columnist Reid once analyzed that in fact, the Lakers need a space similar to that of Morris in the new season to share the pressure of Davis, but the Lakers did not retain Morris, which means that the old James has Maybe at some time you will have to go to the No. 5 position to top the top. So why was Morris abandoned by the Lakers?
During the 20-year window, the Pistons bought out Morris, and Morris chose to join the Lakers. Initially, the Lakers and the Clippers competed with Morris, but the Clippers sent Harkless + first-round pick to defeat the Lakers and successfully cut their Hus. The Lakers were forced to focus on Morris. In order to get the Big Mo, the Lakers also waived Cousins and promised to give priority to signing Cousins during the offseason. The big Morris who came to the Lakers, the performance can only be said to be pretty good, the 19-20 regular season, averaged 5.3 points + 3.2 rebounds, and the playoffs averaged 5.9 points + 3.1 rebounds, which is the same as the Rockets series G5 It was his masterpiece. He played 7 for 6 in 24 minutes, including 4 of 4 three-pointers and scored 16 points, successfully helping the Lakers reach the Western Conference Finals. In the offseason last year, the Lakers ignored Cousins and instead completed a one-year contract extension with Morris. In the past season, Morris averaged 6.7 points and 4.4 rebounds per game, but compared to the 19-20 season, the efficiency There has been a lot of decline, and his turnovers have doubled. In short, his offensive time is average, and his defense has become a big hole in the inside.
When the Lakers were eliminated by the Suns, Morris said very firmly: "I hope we do it again. We are all tried and tested players and we are willing to sacrifice everything to win. !" Great Morris wanted to return to the Lakers, but things did not proceed according to his thoughts and ideas. After the free market was opened, the Lakers traded for Westbrook, and successively signed Howard, Ellington, Bazemore, Ariza, Munch and others. At this time, the Lakers lineup also Only 11 people, according to the analysis of the team reporter Ferguson at the time, Morris has a chance to return to the Lakers, after all, the Lakers always need a space for the fourth and fifth positions, and there is no suitable candidate on the market. But just after the Lakers signed Anthony , Morris thought he had no place in the Lakers and quickly completed a 1 year-end salary contract with the Heat. This is good, but the Lakers have become an embarrassing party, as if the Lakers abandoned him. But this is not the case. Similar to Howard last year, the Lakers must give priority to higher-level players.
Facing the Miami media camera, Morris said: "I really didn't expect that I would come to the Heat. We only defeated this team in the finals to win the championship. , But this is business. I am happy to accept that. I always thought I would return to the Lakers, but sometimes you will find that you are not in the team plan. This is how the NBA works. What you have to do is to move on." Speaking of expectations for the Heat, Morris said: "I think I can completely return to my previous level and play in the right way. We need everyone to score every night, grab rebounds, and take defensive responsibilities. , This is what the best team should look like.Instead of running to the corner every round, waiting for a player to pass the ball to you. "Finally, he added: "There is no player in the Heat who'give him the ball and everyone stands to watch him play'. This is a real collective.
wait for a player to pass the ball to you, the Heat did not give him the ball, and then everyone stood and watched the player he was playing. LeBron had no choice but to go directly to LeBron. James’ name is out. But it’s okay. You are still playing in the league. You don’t dare to say it, but you have reached your point. What I want to say is that from the perspective of the Lakers and Lao Zhan, Suddenly encountering such an inexplicable ridicule is actually quite aggrieved. Of course, James’s team play is like this, it is a fact, but Morris also followed the Lakers to win the championship, and is also one of the important heroes of the Lakers’ championship. Now that he has just left the Lakers and turned his head to mock the old club, is it appropriate? What he did reminds me of someone: Bradley, who is no longer cared about. At first, Bradley jumped out of player options and the Heat. When signing the contract, it also means that you are attracted by the Heat culture and have been paying attention to the Heat, thinking that you are more suitable for the Heat.
Don’t blame Lao Zhan, let alone the Lakers. In fact, any team competing for the championship. , The reinforcements during the offseason have a certain plan and order. It is impossible to say that Westbrook, Anthony, Tucker, and Howard are ignored, and you will renew your contract first. If you don't have that strength, you should not ask too much. Secondly, I still remember that when the Lakers were playing against the Rockets, Morris got stuck in Tate's neck. After being pushed down by Cousins, Morris looked angry, as if he wanted to eat Cousins. Hu Luo Pingyang was bullied by a dog, that was told to Cousins; the fox fake Huwei was told to Morris, if you are not standing next to Old Zhan, if you are not watching Cousins without help, if you are not wearing a Lakers jersey, He dare to yell at Cousins like this? Morris is certainly worthy of a rotation on any team, but to be honest,This kind of mockery of the old owner will not be trusted by the new owner. Bradley was given away as a bargaining chip during the window of last season and has gone downhill since then. What about you?
I hope that all is well for Morris in the Heat, and I also thank him for his dedication in the Lakers' championship season. Overall, he and the Lakers broke up peacefully and should be blessed. Can remember the happy time with the Lakers, rather than just remember the shortcomings of someone.
