On November 23, the NBA regular season continues. Today, the Mavericks sit at home and face the challenge of the Grizzlies. Both teams have won before this game. Although their records have not been good since the start of the game, they have no intention of showing off and are trying their best to win. The stars of both sides are absent in this game. The head-to-head dialogue between their two rookies, Coward and Flagg, has become the focus of this game. After all, both of them are the favorites for the best rookie. Next, let's talk about the game process first, and then talk about the performance of the players.

After that, Coward made two free throws, killing the suspense of the game. In the end, the Grizzlies defeated the Mavericks 012-96.

The Grizzlies are blooming more

With Jaren Jackson and Morant absent, I thought the Grizzlies would be defeated. As a result, it turns out that the coach Isalo is not incompetent. A group of obedient players, under his Driven by the team, they really played good modern basketball. They were good at sharing the ball and actively fighting for it. They relied on their inside advantage and used the second offense to take the lead many times. Zhou Zhihao dominated the rebounds in this game. He scored 12 points, 14 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 blocks in 2 of 3 games.

After returning this season, Zhou Zhihao has performed very well defensively. He is more adaptable to the league's confrontation, and his low-post skills are still very good. In fact, many domestic fans hope that Yang Hansen can reach Zhou Zhihao's level. Zhou Zhihao also had many problems in his rookie season, with poor confrontation and inability to protect the ball. However, he improved in the second year, so we should be able to see Yang Hansen's changes next season.

Aldama performed well in this campaign. After Morant and Jaren Jackson were injured, Aldama took over Jackson's role. His offense was actually better than Jackson. In this campaign, he made 9 of 17 shots and 2 of 5 three-pointers. He scored 20 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists. He inherited the tradition of Spanish insiders, being very comprehensive and capable of handling the ball. Vince took Morant's role and sent out 15 assists in the last game. In this game, Vince scored 10 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists. Rookie Coward performed generally, scoring 8 points and 2 rebounds on 3 of 11 shots.

Klay is on full fire

In this game, the Mavericks relied more on their defensive strength and dealing with their opponents. The team's best offensive performer in this game was Klay. He made 7 of 17 in the game and 6 of 12 three-pointers, scoring 22 points and 1 rebound. Klay has performed well recently, with two 19+ performances in a single game. He is still capable of helping the team, but the Mavericks have not had an outstanding point guard to feed him. Klay's performance was affected, and the opponent's villain also angered him

Flagg didn't perform well in this game. He scored 12 points and 7 rebounds on 4 of 15 shots. I say Flagg should have played more decisively. Many times he cares too much about the team's system. Now the Mavericks are like this. Don't worry about the system, just do what you can. In the last game against the Bucks, he proved that he is the No. 1 pick. Although the overall performance of Coward and Flagg was not good in this game, both performed well at the critical moment in the final quarter. Coward scored consecutively at critical moments. He won this Best Rookie of the Year conversation.

Brandon Williams performed well in this campaign. He made 6 of 11 shots from the field, 2 of 4 three-pointers, and scored 18 points, 3 rebounds, and 4 assists. If he can maintain his three-pointers above the league average, then he will be a qualified rotation. Players, but with the current talent of the Mavericks, I think they have little hope of continuing to hit the record. What everyone is most concerned about now may be where the Mavericks will eventually be traded. Having said that, what do you want to say about the current Grizzlies and Mavericks?
