Jamel Morris's game-winners are reasons for Lietkabelis to dream
Article
3 Mins read
7bet-Lietkabelis has reasons to dream big this season. And Jamel Morris is one of the big reasons.
The Lithuanian club is headed to the 7DAYS EuroCup Eightfinals for the second straight season and this time, Coach Nenad Canak's are in the running to host their first game. In the win-or-go-home format of the EuroCup knockout stages, teams need a cold-blooded go-to guy with the game on the line and Morris fits that description perfectly.
Morris pulled up for a long three over Frutti Extra Bursaspor’s Anthony Clemmons in the dying seconds of Wednesday's game to lift his team to an 88-85 win. And that shot was eerily similar to his game-winning three in Round 14 against Umana Reyer Venice.
On both occasions, he didn't simply show up in crunch time. He was the team’s leader all night. Against Bursaspor, Morris had a quiet first half with just 4 points and 2 assists. After the visitors extended their lead to double figures early in the third quarter, he went off for 5 points and 2 assists in a 7-0 run and he never cooled down. Morris finished the game with 21 points and 7 assists for a PIR of 22.
That marked his best scoring effort since… Round 14 when he torched Reyer for a season-high 28 points on 6-for-7 shooting.
Morris has a few of the key attributes needed for a winning team. He is not only Lietkabelis's top scorer this season with 15.2 points per game, but he is a modest and humble leader.
After the game, Morris called it "a beautiful game of basketball" while praising his opponents: "It was a game between two good teams. Their record doesn’t speak to how good they are. They have really good players. They made some really tough shots."
When pushed to comment about his shooting, Morris said: "God is good. That’s all I can say."
Perhaps it's because Morris has been there before as the game-winner. Nevertheless, it was the comment of a true winner.
Morris alone will not be enough to win games in the next stages, but he is merely a key part of a deep team. He was only third on the team in minutes on Wednesday with the starting backcourt of Vytenis Lipkevicius (27:31) and Kristian Kullamae (27:24) both playing more than Morris (27:11). In all, 10 players featured for at least 10 minutes and that depth will be important.
But Morris's talent, leadership and ability to take over in big spots and willingness to shoot with the game are the line are all traits that could come in handy when the stakes are raised next month.
