Jaren Jackson Jr. exploded in the second half, scoring a game-high 29 points to help the Grizzlies beat the Pelicans

On January 26 , the Grizzlies defeated the Pelicans 139-126 in the NBA regular season at home. In this game, Grizzlies center Jaren Jackson Jr. showed strong offensive and defensive strength, scoring 29 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists. He also shined in the second half, scoring 22 points in a single quarter, becoming the key figure in the Grizzlies' victory .

Jalen was in hot form in this game, supporting the Grizzlies' offensive and defensive systems with his efficient performance. He played 32 minutes in the game, shot 10 of 16, 5 of 9 from beyond the three-point line, and 4 of 4 free throws, showing a comprehensive scoring method. He was not only the highest scorer in the game, but also frequently created opportunities for his teammates on the offensive end, delivering 7 assists in the game, becoming an important engine for the Grizzlies' offense.

In addition, Jalen also contributed 1 block on the defensive end and ranked first in the team with a plus-minus value of +12, which fully demonstrated his influence on the court. Whether it was singles with the ball, spot shooting or defensive rotation, he performed with ease.

Although the Pelicans were tied with the Grizzlies in the first half, Jalen took over the game in the second half. He scored 22 points in the second half alone, using accurate outside shooting and strong attacks under the basket to continuously attack the opponent's defense. Especially in the third quarter, he made many key shots to help the Grizzlies quickly widen the score gap.

Led by Jalen Jalen Jr., the Grizzlies showed strong firepower on the offensive end, with a very high shooting percentage throughout the game, and repeatedly curbed the Pelicans' scoring momentum in its infancy.

In addition to Jalen's outstanding performance, the Grizzlies also performed well as a whole, with the whole team blossoming in multiple places and extremely high scoring efficiency. The backcourt players created many opportunities for Jalen and other inside players through precise passing and organizational skills. Although the Pelicans have star players such as Zayne Williamson and Brandon Ingram, they failed to effectively limit the Grizzlies' rhythm, resulting in the score being widened throughout the game.

Jalen has gradually become a stable core of the Grizzlies lineup this season, playing a decisive role on both offense and defense. His comprehensive performance not only improves the team's competitiveness, but also puts the Grizzlies in a favorable position in the fight for a playoff spot.

This victory is undoubtedly a boost for the Grizzlies, and Jalen's outstanding performance has injected more confidence into the team. He has proved with his actions that he is not only the future core of the team, but also one of the cornerstones for the Grizzlies to compete for higher honors.

For the Pelicans, this loss is also a wake-up call. They need to further strengthen their defensive strategy to deal with opponents like the Grizzlies who have multiple points and whose core players are in hot form. In the next game, how to adjust the rhythm and limit the opponent's core players will be the problems they need to solve.

As the regular season progresses, Jalen's performance is expected. His maturity and stability will undoubtedly become an important guarantee for the Grizzlies to achieve higher goals.
