If fans of which team are the most satisfied so far, it must be the Grizzlies.

After five years of hard work, the Grizzlies finally returned to the playoffs. The Grizzlies fans were filled with emotion. After five years of waiting, they finally hoped that Memphis would enter the playoffs again.

If the Spurs' success model comes from Popovich's perfect training and the veterans' Yu Yong; the Warriors' success model depends on the superstar Chamberlain; then the Grizzlies' success model is somewhat similar to the Thunder and the Trail Blazers back then. The team keeps a low profile and accumulates young talents. When these good seedlings grow into towering trees, it is time to gain results.

Look at the Grizzlies' lineup sequence, Rudy Guy, 2UU rookie; Mike Conley, 207 rookie, O Mayo, 26 rookie; Mark Tsor, 207 rookie; Darrell, 26 rookie; Sam Young, 209 rookie; Xavier, 210 rookie

It can be said that there are many talents, and with long-time players like Randolph and Bathir, compared with the Trail Blazers and Thunder a few years ago, the team building method is very similar.

In fact, after collecting young talents for several seasons, the Grizzlies have indeed come to the harvest.

Guy is maturing this season and proves with practical actions that "the team will not lose money when renewing my contract with me for 860,000 in 6 years"; Mike Conley also took off his hat as a follower of Oden and performed outstandingly this season; although Mark Thor has slightly regressed compared to last season, he is still a top-notch insider in the league; coupled with Yang, Henry and Arthur's contributions to the bench, we can't underestimate the combat effectiveness of this baby corps.

Even Randolph, who has always been lazy and regarded as a model of the league's cancer, was infected by this energetic atmosphere and performed extremely hard. This season, Fat Lan averaged 2.1 points and 2.2 rebounds per game, with a shooting percentage of more than 60%. This performance not only contributes to the team, but also contributes to his future contract.

In fact, referring to the Grizzlies' team building model five years ago, it is similar to the current Grizzlies. At that time, under the leadership of the old coach Hubby Brown, many powerful players gathered, including Gasol, Bathir, Mike Miller, "Flying Squirrel" Stodmeier, Eddie Jones, Bobby Jackson and others.

However, at the beginning of the playoffs, experts still had some doubts. Although this way of building a team can guarantee the team's combat effectiveness, it still needs to be seen whether it can make a difference in the playoffs. Just like the Grizzlies that year entered the playoffs for several consecutive years, all of them were all 04 in the first round. It also made the boss Gasol at that time fall into the bad reputation of "soft eggs".

But the result surprised everyone. The Grizzlies' performance in the playoffs is so good

Originally, they learned that they were going to face the experienced Spurs, Grizzlies fans asked their team only not to be swept. Being able to win one game is victory, and winning two games is excellent.

As a result, the Grizzlies gave their fans a surprise. They played the singular songs all the way, but they lost the second Spurs in the Western Conference and successfully advanced to the semi-finals.

You know, it's been more than ten years, and this is the first time the Grizzlies have entered the Western Conference semi-finals. In the era of Grand Gasol, this team has also entered the playoffs. Not to mention advancing, I haven't even won. A row of bald heads were taken out. The Grizzlies left to Grizzlies fans was swept twice in two seasons and shaved two bald heads.

This time, the Grizzlies were finally able to be proud, but their situation is still a little dangerous because their opponent is the Warriors

Warriors Warriors Warriors

The invincible warrior

The Grizzlies had previously felt the atmosphere of a strong team in the playoffs in the Holy City. Local fans went to the hotel where they stayed from time to time to do something at night. As for the roar of motorcycles and sports cars, they had never stopped outside the window. Someone even pulled high-power power outside the hotel to play rock.

They thought they had seen the world, they thought they had experienced many battles, but after they came to Auckland, they found that everything they had experienced before was just a joke

Warriors fans did not harass them in hotels, did not play LAY's RIPHL in their training sessions, and did not drive sports cars to intercept their buses. What they did was just to make huge booing when the Grizzlies players entered the court.

What a terrible sound that was?

When the Grizzlies' rookie Javier Henry was the first to enter the court, the booing sounds coming were like a hurricane, blowing wildly, as if to bring him into the sky

This was the first time Henry, a poor child, encountered such a situation in his career. He was stunned at that time. The middle fingers raised by the fans on both sides were like jungles, and the overwhelming booing and insulting made him even more frightened and difficult to take a step.

"Go back to Canada, California is not allowed to raise bears"

"Kill a bear to get the bear gall, eat the bear paws here in California, here is Oakland (the laws vary from state to state in the United States, and animal protection laws are different. California does not allow the raising of large aggressive animals such as grizzlies)"

"Sweeping these bitches and making these idiots suffer so much that they torture them and kill them."

"It's too... so fucking crazy," said Hadardi, the main core of the Iranian national team, weakly. "The Americans are too unfriendly."

Darrell Arthur kept drawing crosses on his chest, muttering: "Damn it, what's this? You'll know when the game comes, our opponents are even more unfriendly."

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

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

The game started after Chamberlain jumped the ball and Conley's defense was not determined enough. West immediately started to hit the ring when he got the ball. He dribbled quickly at the high position. Carter immediately pulled away with a decisive move. He took Tony Helun, the defensive player, and then West rushed forward.

After rushing out, West suddenly braked and pulled the ball back to make a jump shot when he passed Conley. The Grizzlies' inside defense, which was not originally close, was suddenly pulled away.

Randolph subconsciously left the penalty area to make up for defense - this is not easy. Fatty Lan never made up for defense when he was a Trail Blazers. You can do whatever you want. Anyway, I just don't move. After coming to the Grizzlies, he didn't know if he was brainwashed or what happened, but he became particularly active. This is also the reason why the Grizzlies' record soared.

However, at this moment, Randolph's enthusiasm actually hurt their team. As soon as he went out, Gasol was left in the interior to defend Chamberlain.

This is the opportunity that West wanted, and he immediately passed the ball to Chamberlain.

Chamberlain pushed Gasol Jr., and he quickly rushed backwards, then jumped sideways before Randolph returned to defense, and grabbed two points with his hook.

The Grizzlies' attack firepower was really good. The Warriors all oppressed them. Randolph hung to the high position to ask for the ball. Conley quickly rushed through the half and passed the ball to the Black Bears. Ibaka was under the command of Chamberlain and stared at Randolph. The latter turned around and took a flexibly step to make a breakthrough.

Ibaka was pushed by Randolph and followed into the penalty area, but Randolph suddenly stepped forward after stepping into the penalty area, jumping up and making a mid-range shot. With a crisp sound, the basketball fell into the basket ring.

After 22 Randolph scored, he smiled honestly and continued to run down with his head down.

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

The Warriors attacked the outside.

West broke through and passed the ball to Carter. Carter pretended to make a jump shot from outside the three-point line. Conley, who had replaced the defense, was tricked by him and jumped up. In this way, Tony Helun, who was responsible for defending West, quickly returned to defense, but it was too late. Carter pulled the ball back and rushed to the inside with lightning speed.

Ibaka stuck Tony Helun who wanted to make up for defense in the middle. Carter squeezed into the inside and then put away the ball and made a jump shot. Gasol came up and spread his arms to cover him. Chamberlain pulled a step and threw away Gasol in an empty space.

Although Carter's eyes were staring at the ring, Yu Guang was looking for Chamberlain. When the latter pulled it out, he immediately found an opportunity and almost passed the ball with his hands. He handed the ball to Chamberlain.

Chamberlain got the ball, but he didn't get it anymore. He took a step forward and pulled it up, as if he was hitting Huashan. He waved his arm and smashed the ball into the basket with a thunderous sound.

Amazingly imposing

After that, Conley pushed the ball with the ball. He waved his hand to direct his teammates' position rotation, passing the ball towards Guy to ask him to come to technical secondary school.

As a result, West, who had been following Conley, quickly grabbed it, pushed the ball out and snatched it.

After the steal, it was naturally a fast break counterattack, which was also the Warriors' specialty. Carter and Jackson ran from the wings, and West ran wildly in the middle. Tony Helun and Guy immediately pulled their feet to chase. They chased them fast enough. As a result, West blocked Guy, Jackson blocked Tony Helun, and finally handed the ball to Carter. U's penalty area flew up and a gliding dunk came.

With West stealing in front, the Grizzlies' offense became much more cautious. Conley roamed the outside and Guy ran out to catch the ball.

Jackson started his career in defense and immediately put it on. Guy turned around and made a fake move. Jackson waved his arm and hit him on the chest, pushing him back directly.

Guy had no choice but to pass the ball to Randolph, who is now the Grizzlies' offensive core.

This choice is correct. Ibaka's defense is powerful because he uses his high-quality physical fitness to block it. When facing a defender like Randolph with delicate offensive skills, he is the most troublesome because he has little defensive experience and is not very talented.

Randolph took a small step to break through again, and Ibaka had to retreat. As soon as he retreated, Randolph smiled cunningly, and also took a step back. He opened the distance and made a gentle jump shot.

The basketball flew up, and a beautiful arc like a rainbow flew up. As a result, Chamberlain suddenly flew up from behind, raised his arm and pointed his hand accurately on the flying ball. With a muffled sound, the ball was knocked down by a strong force.

This time the Grizzlies did not allow the Warriors to fight back in a fast break, thanks to Guy and Tony Heron's strong defense, which directly curbed West and Carter's advancement and forced the Warriors to fight a positional battle.

As a result, they miscalculated, and it would be better to let the Warriors fight a fast break. Chamberlain hit Gasol at the basket, leaning against the latter's hook and jump shot. While hitting, it also caused the latter's foul. He directly came to a 2I to help the team start with 2.

However, a scene that terrified the Warriors fans happened. When Chamberlain landed, he stepped on Gasol's feet and slipped to the ground. After that, he showed pain on his face and hugged his ankles with both hands.

Unlucky, sprained ankle

Old Nelson quickly asked for a timeout, but fortunately Chamberlain still had a free throw, so they had a chance to stop.

Chamberlain was very tough, he gritted his teeth and waved his hand, "It's okay, it's okay, I just twisted my ankle and could withstand it, there was no problem at all.

How dare Old Nelson take risks? Chamberlain is all about him, all about this team. He immediately called the team doctor and replaced Chamberlain - as long as the team doctor told him that the result was not good, he would not let Chamberlain play again in this game

The team doctors put Chamberlain's ankle on ice packs and then began to check his injuries. At this time, the game was about to continue, and Old Nelson had to replace him.

The Warriors' crisis has emerged.
