莫兰特强调：胜利之钥在防守，率先严肃对待防守的一方将笑到最后

10月28日，NBA常规赛中，波特兰开拓者队客场以136比129战胜洛杉矶湖人队，成功实现了新赛季的连续三场胜利。比赛结束后，球队明星球员莫兰特在NBC电视台的记者面前接受了采访。

体育评论员提问：“在这场赛事中，观众们目睹了多场精彩绝伦的射门，那么在比赛的关键时刻，你们究竟凭借何种策略成功夺得了胜利？”

"Defence is key," Malcomb declared. "Throughout the entire match, we kept urging one another to focus on the defensive aspect, as it was evident that the team that would prioritize this aspect would ultimately secure victory. We were trailing by five points at halftime and hadn't lived up to our expectations, necessitating a shift in strategy. Although our third quarter performance wasn't impressive, it was our fourth quarter turnaround that proved to be the turning point."

在这场较量中，莫兰特全场拼搏了30分钟，投篮13次命中9球，最终收获23分并贡献4次助攻。
