On November 4, the official NBA website announced the list of the best players in the East and West in the first week. Nowitzki, and it was the Pacers' Danny who won the Eastern Conference Player of the Week title? Granger. Zhou Xuan and Joe Johnson, Yao Ming, Elton? Brand and others were nominated. Although he didn't make the cut, he was proud to have done so in his first week as a rookie.

Against the Grizzlies, the Warriors were determined to win.

The Grizzlies have also been in good form lately, with two wins and one loss, including an upset win over the Orlando Magic on Nov. 1.

Last season Paul? Gasol's trade to the Lakers has been called shady by many people, saying that the Grizzlies' uniform team is stupid, but judging from the mental outlook of the Grizzlies players in the new season, it is a win-win deal. The Grizzlies' intention is to rebuild, and we're halfway there.

This season, the Grizzlies are the league's lowest-paid team. Send Paul? Gasol changed the salary space of 16 million, and last year he got the potential star OJ Mayo, and their total salary is only 37 million, what price is this? It's the sum of Matiga Yaoming's salaries, and the wages of the two are equal to the wages of all the Grizzlies. The current Grizzlies management is trying to control the team's salaries in the best possible way against the backdrop of the U.S. economic crisis. The whole team is economical and practical, Mayo, Rudy? Gay, Mark? Gasol, Mike? Conley has a lot of potential.

Especially Mark? Gasol, who was drafted by the Lakers with the 48th pick in the second round, is lower than Sun Yue. However, the three games he played for the Grizzlies in the new season are much better than Sun Yue.

Although Gasol Jr.'s departure from the Grizzlies was a bit unhappy, Gasol Jr. said that his brother did not instill in him the notion that "the Grizzlies are not good." Because of his brother's relationship, Gasol Jr. is quite familiar with the city of Memphis and the Grizzlies team. After Gasol Jr. joined the Grizzlies, Gasol Jr. moved to Memphis with his family, where he attended Lausanne High School for two years and played in the high school league for two years.

After becoming a member of the Grizzlies, Gasol Jr. also understood that he was going to follow a similar path to his brother's past, and he would inevitably be compared. He said he had no pressure. "There's nothing new, that's what motivates me, what motivates me to prove to everybody that I'm worthy. And I know in my heart that I have the strength. ”

Of course, Gasol Jr. is not as strong as his brother now, and it will be difficult to become the number one star of the Grizzlies even in the future, but the Grizzlies management believes that Gasol Jr. is worth their investment. The team's general manager, Chris? Wallace said: "Mark is a very technical center, he shoots and passes well, he's extremely tough on the court, and he's a good team player who wins and teams first. Mark is one of the top players in Europe and we believe he can play well in the NBA. ”

Pau Gasol also has confidence in his brother, saying: "When I was traded, I said that the best part of the whole deal for Memphis would be Mark. My words took many by surprise. In the future, you will find that he can be one of the dominant centers in the league. ”

Grizzlies head coach Evaloni said, "He's got to do everything that we're expected him to do, all the things that an NBA center should do, grab positions, grab rebounds, whatever. Also, we think he can be a good interior player, he's a very good passer and can shoot and score. I think that's the kind of talent that every NBA team wants to have. We will be very patient with his growth. ”

After Pau Gasol was traded to the Lakers, his family still lives in Memphis. They also have a younger brother, Adria, who is staying at Lausanne High School in Memphis, and the Gasol family has no resentment about the city of Memphis, and they all love Memphis. If nothing happens, the Spanish family surnamed "Gasol" will stay in Memphis.

In the game against the Magic, Gasol Jr. was completely fearless in the face of Howard, and Howard, who was strong and strong, could not enter the three-second zone. In order to beat the Grizzlies, the Warriors have made Gasol Jr. a priority.

Opposite Zhou Xuan is a high-pick player in the draft. Mike, the fourth pick in the first round in 2007? Conley, though Conley averaged just nine per game last season. 4 points 2. 6 rebounds 4. 2 assists, which is not outstanding. He's got this high in the rankings more because of his college record, he was Oden's teammate and was good at passing the ball to Oden.

Compared to the record, the Grizzlies have always been a slow-paced team that focuses on defense, and they are often at a disadvantage against run-and-gun teams. Prior to this match, they had lost seven in a row against the Warriors. The Suns have also been 1-7 in the past two seasons, and the only win was after O'Neal's transfer. Therefore, the old Nelson must resolutely sacrifice the magic weapon of running and bombing. Before the Knicks agreed, Harrington was still an important member of the team and continued to start this game, and the Warriors' starting and the first three games were unchanged.

The Grizzlies starting lineup is very young, and Mike? Conley, O.J. Mayo, Rudy? Guy, Darrell? Arthur, Mark? Gasol. The most experienced guy is Guy, and this is only his third season.

As soon as the opening was played, Gasol Jr. exploded. Against Bidrins, he has an absolute advantage in terms of strength.

Gasol Jr. once struggled with his weight, and in high school he was nicknamed "Big Taco" by his classmates because of his obesity. The low draft pick is also related to his weight, and scouts are skeptical that he can run.

Gasol Jr. managed to lose weight in Europe last year and still weighs 127 kilograms. Biedrins looked very slim standing with him. Gasol Jr. singled Biedlings twice in a row in the low post, showing his solid fundamentals. And he can not only lean inside with his back to play, but also has a very outstanding shooting touch, and he has a certain certainty of turning around and jumping.

Now that there are fewer and fewer traditional centers in the league, Gasol Jr.'s performance has the Grizzlies uniform team very excited. After a few years of play, he might be able to become one of the league's top centers.

The Grizzlies' defense is not weak either, and it is more layered than the offense. The player's single defense ability is not bad, Conley's speed is fast, his body is very flexible, and his single defense breakthrough is good, Zhou Xuan is difficult to get rid of him if he doesn't rely on cover.

ROOKIE POWER FORWARD ARTHUR IS 206CM TALL AND MOVES QUICKLY, AND HIS SCORING METHODS MAINLY RELY ON SHOOTING, AND HIS STYLE IS SOMEWHAT SIMILAR TO HARRINGTON'S, WHICH PLAYS A ROLE IN RESTRAINING EACH OTHER. Harrington still attacked with a jumper, and under Arthur's interference, he shot 0-of-4 in the first quarter and performed poorly.

Gasol Jr. sits under the basket, and his large body makes it difficult for Warriors players to burst into the restricted area for layups.

In the face of this rebuilt "weak team", Zhou Xuan's performance was not as good as in the previous games, and the hit rate of his teammates also dropped significantly, mainly relying on counterattacks to score. The Warriors trailed by seven points 22-29 in the first quarter, with Gasol Jr. scoring 12 points.

Old Nelson also had a headache when he saw that his disciples were in trouble and didn't hit the fast attack. In the fourth game, the problem of their lack of offensive power in the low post became more and more obvious. They've been struggling with this problem for the first two seasons, and Nelson Sr. has been expecting Zach to do so. Randolph arrives soon.

The Grizzlies' weakness is also obvious, and that is Arthur's low-post defense. In the first quarter, Biedrins grabbed two frontcourt rebounds on his side, and if Harrington could get in and play, Arthur wasn't tall enough and was a little less powerful to defend. But Harrington has already made a magic handicap, which is a jumper from the perimeter.

In the second quarter of the bench competition, the Warriors did not take advantage. "Parallel import" list eye Darko? Milicic became the protagonist and put Brandon? Wright and Turyaf refused to play in the three-second zone, and the two played for five minutes without a point, unable to open up space, and Azubuk rushed in and was also hit with a big hat. The Grizzlies are led by guard Kyle? Lowry and Hakim? Varik took up the task of attacking.

AT ONLY 183CM AND WEIGHING 93 KILOGRAMS, LOWRY HAS A PECULIAR TONNAGE AND EXPLOSIVENESS, AND WATSON IS AT A DISADVANTAGE AGAINST HIM. The young Grizzlies played a beautiful combination of inside and outside to extend the margin to 14 points. Nelson Sr. was forced to switch to the starting line-up early, struggling to catch up and end the first half with nine points behind.

In the second half, the Warriors finally found a way to crack the Grizzlies' defense, Nelson Sr. replaced Harrington, who was 1 of 8 shots and was so bad that he couldn't save it, and let Margeti play the No. 4 position, Azubuike small forward, increase speed, and implement the run-and-gun tactics. Air cuts were also strengthened in positional attacks, rather than perimeter stakes.

As soon as his teammates ran, Zhou Xuan began to exert his power, and several beautiful passes assisted his teammates to attack quickly. Whether it is Arthur or Varik on the bench, the defense is not very good, Gasol Jr. can only defend the low post, and he is not good at fast attack and guard blocking, and his speed is as slow as Yao Ming.

On the defensive end, the Warriors began to compress the defense of the 122 joint defense, and as soon as Gasol Jr. received the ball in the low post, the perimeter players immediately shrank to the basket and forced Gasol Jr. to pass. The Grizzlies are short of three-point shooters, and none of them are sure except for Mayo.

After all, Gasol Jr. is new to the NBA, and the rhythm is not very good, and after being trapped, he was cut off by Margeti twice because of slow passing, and played a counterattack. The Warriors gradually came out of the predicament of falling behind in the opening game, and with 2:08 left in the third quarter, Jackson made a successful shot and caused Mayo to foul, and successfully "hit a three-pointer" to overtake the score.

In the fourth quarter, Nelson Sr. didn't let Harrington play again, and sent a two-guard combination of Zhou Xuan and Watson at Mayo's break, a strategy that worked wonders.

Is Mayo's replacement Quentin? Rose, who entered the NBA without a draft pick in 2004, was once known as the Clippers' defensive specialist. However, his form has dropped seriously this year, and some of the game has been fundamentally out of rhythm, with Watson easily getting past him on a couple of occasions and scoring jumpers before Gasol Jr. defended.

Gasol Jr. was forced to defend the game, and under the emptiness of the inside, Biedrins also stepped up, grabbed the frontcourt rebound three times and scored the second offense. With 4:16 left to go, Zhou Xuan scored on a fast-break layup to give the Warriors a double-digit lead at 89-78, after which the Grizzlies were no longer a threat.
