“我要考虑放弃扣篮了。”莫兰特的这番话听起来似乎是在开玩笑，但他却非常认真。这位职业生涯中曾经有着22分钟扣篮集锦的风暴小子，本赛季至今仅完成6次扣篮，而在上一个健康赛季，他则完成了55次，比许多内线球员还要多。
莫兰特解释道：“我常被防守球员放倒，裁判很多时候不吹犯规。所以，我现在觉得，上篮就行。无论是扣篮还是上篮，都是2分，只要能得分就好。”显然，从这一点可以看出，莫兰特正在改变自己的比赛方式。不止是不再频繁地进行扣篮，他也开始减少突破攻筐的次数——2022/23赛季时他的场均突破达到20.3次，高居联盟第二。而本赛季迄今为止，这一数据降到了15.9次。同时，现在他选择传球而非直接冲击篮球的比例增加到32.2%，相比之下，两年前这个数字只有28.2%……
由此可见，莫兰特正调整进攻策略，通过减少个人攻击转向更多助攻，使得他的场均助攻数达到了生涯新高。这种“不扣、不突、多传”的打法，无疑显示出了他更加成熟和保守的一面。
作为职业运动员，他必须考虑如何延续自己的运动寿命。从历史来看，那些像他一样依赖身体素质打球的人，很少能够长时间活跃于NBA。尤其对于体重仅174磅的轻量级选手来说，在对抗中的受伤风险更大。
飞人卡特对此评价说：“一般人可能不会太担心，但是对于像莫兰特这样空中动作极具挑战性的选手而言，一旦失去平衡，很容易造成伤害。他需要学会保护自己，因为如果长期遭遇伤病，将很难继续维持职业生涯。”
关注健康与表现之间的矛盾
Moran自进入联盟以来，其出勤率并不好。一方面是因枪支事件禁赛；另一方面则受到不同程度上的伤病影响——虽然新秀年几乎全勤，但从第三个赛季起，每年都因为各种原因缺席大量比赛，上个季度甚至只打了9场便报销……这样的情况让Moran意识到，如果想保持名气，就必须避免长期缺阵所带来的负面效果。“罗斯前车之鉴”以及宇宙第一灌将卡特的发展轨迹，都提醒着他：即使以天赋取胜，也需谨慎应对未来的不确定性。在经历过诸多波折后，可以看到卡特最终通过改良自身打法成功征战NBA直到43岁，并且仍能保持一定竞技状态。因此，对于灰熊队来说，他们同样希望拥有一个相对健康、充满潜力和创造力的新星来引领球队走向辉煌。然而，由于Morant受限于严重损伤导致其错失争夺冠军机会，因此势必要采取措施降低进一步受损风险，以确保身心俱佳迎接挑战.
[是否真的舍弃技术？]
Seth Curry曾表示，“你知道吗? 球员靠的是他们打出的每一次精彩表演谋求生活, 而不是随意参加野外活动”，因此Morant若真如言辞般抛弃那些炫酷技能，又怎么满足观众们期待观看激情四射赛事呢?
