When you go to California, you naturally have to drag your family with you, and in winter, the weather in Los Angeles is much better than in Memphis.

On the morning of the 15th, Gohan Kohan, who was still crawling around, was grabbed by his father and tied to the baby seat in the car, and passively flew to the West Coast.

Since the first battle was Sacramento, Lily Collins chartered a flight to Los Angeles with Zu Goose and Gohan Kogo.

Sun Ce followed the team to Sacramento.

The next day, there is not much preparation that can be done.

There is no preparation time for consecutive away games, and there are two strong rivals in this wave of 5 consecutive away games, so the discussions on the plane and dinner time are mainly based on the Lakers and the Warriors.

After no practice in Sacramento and a day of rest, the Grizzlies began their first five-game road streak on the 16th.

The Kings have Rondo this year, and there hasn't been much improvement in their record, and Thomas Jr. is not willing to concede the ball at all.

Thomas Jr. is a second-round pick and has signed a three-year contract, and this season is a contract year, and it is completely impossible for him to give up the ball, even if it is Rondo, who has the strength of the assist king.

Rondo averaged 6 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists per game in the new season, averaging only 25 minutes per game.

In general, the Kings rely on point guards and centers to win the game single-handedly.

Cousins continues to improve, averaging 24 points, 10.5 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game.

The Spurs averaged 21 points, 2 rebounds and 4 assists on the road.

Who would have thought that the second player in the class of 2011 who averaged 20+ per game was not Kemba Walker or Klay Thompson, but this self-proclaimed 175 cm little man.

At 7:30 p.m., the Grizzlies vs. Kings game began.

Accident or tomorrow, I really don't know which will come first, and just after the game started, Randolph fell in a rebounding scramble and left the court injured.

This was a huge blow to the Grizzlies.

Although Randolph can only play more than 20 minutes per game, his interior combination with Larry Sanders has a very big effect, both on the offensive and defensive ends.

This led to the Grizzlies bringing on a combination of Prince and Gasol Jr. early.

If Gasol Jr. was in the form of last season, he and Cousins could still blow each other, and the mutual explosion refers to dragging Cousins to the same offensive level as him.

Now Gasol Jr. faces Cousins and can score on the offensive end, but Cousins scores more, if Anthony is the offensive kaleidoscope at the small forward position, Cousins is the offensive kaleidoscope at the center position, and may be the center with the best scoring in the league today.

Randolph's injury shook the Grizzlies' morale, and they never imagined that one day they would be at a disadvantage on the inside.

Gasol Jr. didn't guard against Cousins, and Larry Sanders couldn't guard against it!

The Grizzlies' strategy is to be carried by Cousins, Larry Sanders and Sun Ce.

Although Randolph is fat, he is not slow to move, he can keep up with the speed of Cousins, he is not afraid of Cousins pulling up and playing with his feet, and he can rely on tonnage and movement to create opportunities for Sun Ce, Larry Sanders, and Paul George to help defend.

Larry Sanders and Gasol Jr. don't work well together, the characteristics of these two don't match, and if the defensive end is not as comprehensive as Cousins' offensive skills and such a good physical player, it is okay, but Cousins can't prevent it.

But the most incompatible part of the two is on the offensive end, Larry Sanders is not the kind of player who has a good sense of cutting, and this is a defensive interior line with outstanding strengths and weaknesses.

And the unstoppable is not the most critical, the most critical thing is that the outside line can't be shot!

Or because of the state, maybe because of the worry about the teammates, in short, I just can't shoot.

At halftime, the Grizzlies trailed the Kings by 16 points, 39-55.

Fortunately, at halftime, the preliminary examination results from Randolph's side came out, and it was intermittent muscle weakness caused by fatigue that caused him to fall while competing for the rebound, resulting in a calf muscle strain, which was not a big problem.

But it's something to be taken seriously.

According to the team doctor's analysis, this is due to two reasons.

One is that even if Randolph loses weight to more than 120 kilograms, he is also a heavyweight player among players of his height, and since he came to the Grizzlies, he has played more than 60 regular season games every year, at least a dozen playoff games, and in the past three years, he has played more than 15 playoff games every year, and more than 20 in the past two years.

The other is that Randolph has a huge weight change every year, a fat more than ten kilograms, and the weight loss is naturally more than ten kilograms.

Even if Randolph was so talented, he couldn't stand this twice-a-year weight change based on the first reason.

When Sun Ce heard the news, he felt that there was another reason, that is, age!

Randolph is also 32 years old!

Even if you are as talented as Randolph, your physical fitness will decline, and your endurance will definitely decline.

"Black Fat Da's contract expires at the end of this season, right? When the time comes, let the owner add a clause to the new contract that more than 125 kilograms will be donated to our children's charity at the start of the season? 1 pound 200,000?

It should be okay, and it is no problem for Black Fat to rest 30 games in the regular season every year, and he must control his weight at the beginning of the season.

No one is going to have trouble with money, right?

Yes, that's it, let Bill call him every once in a while in the summer to remind him that he won't get the money if he's overweight! ”

……

In the second half, Coach Hollins used a combination of Sun Ce, Klay Thompson, Paul George, Richard Jefferson, and Yi Jianlian to play and run and bomb, trying to kill Cousins with offensive basketball.

But the new head coach of the Kings, Mike Malone, likes to play fast offense, sending out a speedy lineup of Rondo, Isaiah Thomas, Marcus Thornton, Jason Thompson, and Patrick Patterson.

Isaiah Thomas took Cousins' shot and began to score like crazy in the second half.

This guy is so fast that Sun Ce can't even limit Isaiah Thomas' speed when the Grizzlies can't hold down the rhythm and can't fall into positional battles.

In the end, the Grizzlies also failed to complete the comeback, 98-110, the Grizzlies lost to the Kings, and the four-game winning streak was ended.

……

……

A bad game.

got 23 points, 10 boards, 11 assists, 2 blocks and 3 steals on 8-of-24 shooting, retained a streak of 20+ after the start of the new season, and also got a triple-double, Sun Ce can only find some comfort for himself in this way.

It's actually nothing to lose, it's normal to lose to a weak team, they Grizzlies didn't have the Kings in their eyes from the beginning, and it's normal for them not to win if the other side breaks out.

Lakers fans know this all too well this season, the Lakers are currently 5-4, losing 4 games, and 3 of them are against non-playoff teams.

However, even if you lose, Randolph is still injured! This is no small blow to the Grizzlies!
