Do you still remember Morris, who played for Beijing Shougang team for seven years and was an important internal and foreign aid during the team’s four-year triple championship? Recently, Morris revealed to the reporter of Beijing Youth Daily that he had been away from the stadium for many years and enjoyed his current retirement life. He was looking for a job as a coach.
Randolph-Morris was the drop draft of the NBA draft conference in 2005. It was not until 2006 that there was a chance to compete in NBA. During the four seasons from 2006 to 2010, Morris played for the New York Knicks and Atlanta Hawks successively, leaving a bleak data of 1.9 points and 1.4 rebounds per game.
After losing his job in NBA, Morris came to CBA league. The first stop was the Shou-gang men’s basketball team that had not yet risen completely at that time. Although in NBA, Morris’s body shape, speed, technology and static talent are generally combined, but in CBA, his shortcomings are not shortcomings. A good low-level strong attack, coupled with a single-hand accurate middle pitch, makes it difficult to defend. In particular, the cooperation with the defender’s foreign aid Marbury at that time further enhanced his power in attacking. In Beijing Shougang’s seven seasons, Morris averaged 25.2 points, 10.1 rebounds and 1.3 cap.
As a veteran of the team, Murray is very suitable for the tactical system of Beijing team. He participated in the whole process of the four-year triple championship and won the honor of FMVP in the 2014 finals. It can be said that Morris was an important hero in the heyday of Beijing Shougang. Morris has a good personality and affinity, and is deeply loved by fans. Beijing fans are used to calling him “Big Mo”. However, Shougang men’s basketball rebuilt after that. There was still one year left in Morris’s contract, but the team signed another inside foreign aid Hamilton. Finally, Shougang and Morris also had some unpleasant things.
Morris tried to return to CBA after finishing the battle for Shougang men’s basketball. He once signed a contract with Guangdong men’s basketball, but unfortunately Morris’s hand was broken before the season. Under such circumstances, Guangdong men’s basketball signed weimes quickly at that time. I didn’t expect weimes to integrate quickly, the matching degree with the team system is also very high, so Morris has not been able to put on the Guangdong team jersey to play CBA in a real sense. Morris also made a special trip from the United States to Beijing to go to Beijing control men’s basketball for trial training, but he was not left.
Morris had been disconnected from CBA for a long time, and there was also news that he was involved in a lawsuit in the United States. However, Morris revealed his recent situation in the United States when communicating with reporters of Beijing Youth Daily recently. He said: “I have been retired for a long time, about three or four years. When you ask me when I made the retirement decision, I can’t give an accurate time, but what I want to say is that this is not my final decision, but my body tells me, you should retire.”
How was Morris after retirement? “I am living very well now and have been enjoying my life after retirement. I also want to play, but I really can’t play. Haha. I have been looking for a coach job, hoping to achieve it.” At the same time, Morris also said that he would miss the days in CBA and Beijing fans.
