If there's one team whose fans have been most satisfied so far, it's the Grizzlies.

After five years of waiting, the Grizzlies finally returned to the playoffs, and the playoff spending, Grizzlies fans were full of emotion, and they finally looked forward to Memphis reaching the playoffs again after five years.

If the Spurs' successful model comes from Popovich's perfect tuning and the remaining bravery of the veterans; The Warriors' success model depends on Chamberlain's superstar; Then the Grizzlies' success model is somewhat similar to the Thunder and Trail Blazers back then. The team has accumulated young talents, and when these good seedlings grow into towering trees, it is time to harvest results.

Take a look at the Grizzlies' lineup sequence, Rudy Gay, a rookie in 2006; Mike Conley, 2007 rookie, O-J. Mayo, 2008 rookie; Marc Gasol, a rookie in 2007; Darrell Arthur, a rookie in 2008; Sam Young, a rookie in 2009; Xavier Henry, the 2010 rookie...

It can be said that there are many talents, and with veterans like Randolph and Battier, compared with the Trailblazers and Thunder a few years ago, how similar is the way to build a team!

In fact, after collecting a few seasons of young talent, the Grizzlies have indeed come to harvest.

Guy has matured this season, and proved with practical actions that "the team is not losing money by renewing my contract for 82 million in 5 years"; Mike Conley also took off the hat of Oden's follower, and his performance this season has been outstanding; Although Marc Gasol has regressed slightly from last season, he is still one of the best players in the league; Coupled with the bricks and tiles of Yang, Henry and Arthur on the bench, the combat power of this doll army cannot be underestimated.

Even Randolph, who has always been lazy and regarded as a model of the Union's cancer, was infected by this energetic atmosphere, showing his extraordinary strength. This season, the Fat Men are averaging 20 per game. 1 point plus 12. With 2 rebounds and a shooting rate of more than 5 percent, such a table is not only a brick for the team, but also a brick for his future contract.

In fact, referring to the Grizzlies' team building model five years ago, it is also similar to today's Grizzlies, when under the old coach Hubby Brown, there were many powerful players, including Gasol, Battier, Mike Miller, "Flying Squirrel" Stoudemire, Eddie Jones and Bobby Jackson.

However, at the beginning of the playoffs, experts still have some doubts, this way of building a team can certainly ensure the team's combat effectiveness, but whether it can make a difference in the playoffs, it still needs to wait and see, just like the Grizzlies that year Although the Grizzlies have reached the playoffs for several consecutive years, but the first round is all 0-4 is too ugly, and it also made the then boss Gasol fall into the notoriety of "soft eggs".

But the result surprised everyone, the Grizzlies' performance in the playoffs, great!

Originally knowing that they were going to face the old Spurs, Grizzlies fans asked their team only not to be swept, to win one game is to win, and to win two games is to show that they are excellent.

As a result, the Grizzlies gave their fans a surprise, they played a triumphant song all the way, stunned to kill the second Spurs in the West, and successfully advanced to the semifinals!

You know, for more than ten years, this is the first time that the Grizzlies have entered the Western Conference semifinals, and in the era of Big Gasol, this team has also entered the playoffs, not to mention the promotion, and has not even won.

This time, the Grizzlies were finally able to raise their eyebrows, but they were still a little dangerous now, because their opponent was the Warriors!

Warrior! Warrior! Warrior!

Invincible warriors!

The Grizzlies have also experienced the atmosphere of a playoff powerhouse in the Holy City before, and local fans go to the hotel where they stay from time to time to do something at night, and the roar of the motorcycle sports car has never been interrupted outside the window, and even someone once pulled a high-power power to play rock outside the hotel.

They thought they had seen the world, they thought they had experienced a hundred battles, but when they came to Auckland, they found that what they had experienced before was just a joke!

Instead of harassing them at hotels, playing JAY-Z's RIP-ROP on a high-powered stereo outside their gym, or driving a sports car to block their bus, all they did was boo the Grizzlies players as they entered.

What a terrible sound is that?

When Grizzlies rookie Javier Henry was the first to enter, the oncoming boos were like a hurricane, blowing wildly, as if to sweep him into the sky!

Henry, the poor child, encountered such a situation for the first time in his career, he was directly stunned, the middle fingers raised by the fans on both sides were like a jungle, and the overwhelming boos and insults made him even more frightened, and it was difficult to take a step!

"Go back to Canada, California doesn't allow bears!"

"Kill the bear! Take bear bile and eat bear paws! This is California! This is Auckland! (The laws of different states in the United States are different, and the animal protection laws are also different, and California does not allow the breeding of large aggressive animals such as grizzly bears)"

"Sweep these bitches! Make these fools miserable! Torture them! Play with them! Kill them! ”

"Too ...... It's crazy! Haddadi, the main core of the Iranian national team, said weakly, "The Americans are too unfriendly." ”

Darrell Arthur kept drawing a cross on his chest, and he muttered, "Damn, what is this, you'll know when it's time for the game, our opponents are even less friendly!" ”

The Warriors are aggressive, and the starting lineup is: Chamberlain, Ibaka, Jackson, West, Carter.

The Grizzlies starting lineup is: Mike Conley, Tony Allen, Marc Gasol, Zach Randolph and Sam Young.

The game started after Chamberlain's jump ball win, Conley's defense was not resolute enough, West got the ball and immediately began to impact the hoop, he dribbled quickly in the high post, Carter immediately pulled away, he took Tony Allen, the defensive giant, and then West pulled his feet and rushed forward.

After rushing out, West suddenly braked the ball back for a jumper at the moment when he passed Conley, and the Grizzlies' already not very close interior defense was suddenly pulled away.

Randolph subconsciously left the restricted area to go out to make up for the defense - this is not easy, Randolph never went to make up for the defense when he was in the Trail Blazers before, what do you like, anyway, Lao Tzu just doesn't move, after coming to the Grizzlies, he doesn't know if he was brainwashed or what's going on, and he has become extraordinarily positive, which is why the Grizzlies' record has soared.

However, at this moment, Randolph's aggressiveness hurt their team, and as soon as he went out, Gasol was left on the inside to defend Chamberlain.

West wanted that opportunity, and he immediately passed the ball to Oxlade-Chamberlain.

Chamberlain pushed Gasol Jr. with his back, and he slammed back quickly, then jumped sideways before Randolph could return to defend and hooked up to score two points.

The Grizzlies' offensive firepower is really good, the Warriors are full pressing, Randolph hangs high to ask for the ball, Conley quickly rushes across the half court and passes the ball to the Black Bears, Ibaka goes up under the command of Chamberlain to keep an eye on Randolph, who turns around and makes a breakthrough with nimble steps.

Ibaka was pushed by Randolph to follow up in the penalty area, but Randolph suddenly stepped forward after stepping into the penalty area, jumped up and made a mid-range shot, and with a crisp sound, the basketball fell into the hoop!

2-2, Randolph smiled innocently after scoring, and continued to run down with his head down.

Old Nelson frowned at the court, then rubbed his chin and laughed thoughtfully.

The Warriors attack from the outside.

West broke through and gave the ball to Carter, Carter feigned a jump shot outside the three-point line, and Conley, who came up from the switch, was tricked into jumping up by him, so that Tony Allen, who was in charge of defending West, hurriedly returned to the defense, but it was too late, Carter directly pulled the ball back and rushed inside.

Ibaka went to the middle and stuck Tony Allen, who wanted to make up for the defense, Carter squeezed into the inside line and then put away the ball for a jumper, Gasol Jr. came up and spread his arms to cover him, while Chamberlain took a step sideways and threw off Gasol Jr. at once, vacant!

Carter's eyes were fixed on the hoop, but he was looking for Chamberlain, and when the latter pulled out, he immediately found an opportunity, almost hand-to-hand pass, and he handed the ball to Chamberlain.

When Chamberlain got the ball, he didn't dribble again, he just stepped up in one step, pulled up, as if he was splitting Huashan, and smashed the ball into the hoop with a wave of his arm!

The momentum is amazing!

After that, Conley advanced with the ball, and he waved his hand to direct his teammates to rotate positions, and passed the ball to Guy to get him to come to the secondary school.

As a result, West, who had been following Conley without any action, quickly grabbed it, pushed the ball out, and stealed!

After the steal, it was naturally a fast attack counterattack, which is also the Warriors' forte, Carter and Jackson ran from the wings, West ran wildly in the middle, Tony Allen and Guy immediately chased after him, they chased fast enough, but West blocked Guy, Jackson blocked Tony Allen, and finally the ball was handed to Carter, and the UFO flew up from the top of the arc of the penalty area, and came with a gliding dunk.

With West's steal up front, the Grizzlies' offense was much more cautious, with Conley roaming around the perimeter and Guy running out to catch the ball.

Jackson started on defense and immediately stuck to it, Guy turned around and made a feint, and Jackson smashed his chest with a spicy wave of his arm, pushing him back directly.

Guy didn't do it and passed the ball to Randolph, who is now the heart of the Grizzlies' offense.

This choice is correct, Ibaka's defense is powerful in using his high-quality physical elements to block, and he is the most headache when facing a defender with delicate offensive skills like Randolph, because he has little defensive experience and is not very talented.

Randolph broke through again with small broken steps, and Ibaka had to retreat, and as soon as he retreated, Randolph smiled slyly, and also stepped back, and pulled away to make a soft jumper.

The basketball flew up, a rainbow-like arc flew up, and Chamberlain flew up from behind, his arm raised high, and his big hand was precisely pointed at the flying ball.

This time the Grizzlies didn't let the Warriors play a fast-break counterattack, thanks to the strong defense of Gay and Tony Allen, which directly contained the advance of West and Carter, forcing the Warriors to play a positional battle.

As a result, they miscalculated, it was better to let the Warriors play a fast-break counterattack, Chamberlain played Gasol Jr. under the basket, leaned on the latter's hook jumper, hit and caused the latter's foul, directly came to a 2+1, helping the team start the game 7-2.

However, a scene that frightened Warriors fans happened, Chamberlain stepped on Gasol Jr.'s feet when he landed, and slipped and fell directly to the ground, after which his face showed a look of pain, and his hands also hugged his ankles!

Unlucky, I'm broken!

Nelson Sr. hurriedly asked for a timeout, but fortunately, Chamberlain still had free throws, and they had a chance to take a timeout.

Chamberlain was very tough, he gritted his teeth and waved his hand: "It's okay, it's okay, I just twisted my ankle!" I can bear it, there is no problem at all! ”

How dare old Nelson take a risk? Chamberlain was all he had, everything to this team, and he immediately called the team doctor and replaced Chamberlain - as long as the team doctor told him that the results were not good, then he would not let Chamberlain play again in this game!

The team doctors put an ice pack on Chamberlain's ankle and began to check his injury, at which point the game was about to resume and Nelson Sr. had to make a substitution.

The crisis of the Warriors has arisen.
