It is said that the 2015 playoffs were in full swing, and in the Western Conference semifinals, the Grizzlies, who lost the team's leading guard McConley, lost to the Warriors first, and in the second game, Conley decided to play with an injury! Not for the results, just for the brothers who have been fighting side by side for many years, and in order to keep no regrets in their hearts,

The second game started soon, Conley, who returned from the king, was like a god in the first quarter, scoring 9 points in 4 of 4 in a single quarter, leading the Grizzlies to lead the Warriors 28:22, and Conley's defensive skills were automatically displayed in the second quarter, knocking Curry to death, so that Curry lost all 5 of 1 three-pointers and 3 shots in a single quarter, and at halftime, the Grizzlies led the Warriors by 11 points at 50:39. In the third quarter, Curry hit the inside, but the effect was not obvious, 2 of 4 in a single quarter scored 7 points, and the Grizzlies were small plus and Conley scored consecutive points against the Warriors, and when there were 8 minutes left in the fourth quarter, Green hit two free throws to narrow the gap to 79:70, and the Grizzlies only led by 9 points, but then Randolph scored 4 points in a row and stabilized the situation for the Grizzlies, but then the Grizzlies suffered an embarrassing situation of three minutes without scoring, and in the last two and a half minutes of the game, Curry broke through the small throw and scored 2 points, narrowed the gap to 7 points again, and it was Conley who ended the game!

Conley faced Curry on the left side, shot three-pointers, shot, and the difference returned to 10 points, with 2 minutes left, the Warriors could no longer catch up, so they could only replace the main force, disarm and surrender, and the Grizzlies pulled back a city!

The victory of this game undoubtedly belongs to Conley, Conley 8 of 12, 3 of 5 three-pointers scored a team-high 22 points, and the last two and a half points of the game were three-pointers, which directly killed the game, not only that, but under Conley's strict defense, Warriors number one star Stephen Curry was 7 of 19, 2 of 11 three-pointers, scored 19 points, 6 assists and 3 turnovers, and played the most unbearable game of the playoffs.

In the third game, the Grizzlies grasped the rhythm of the whole game, that is, dragged the Warriors into a positional battle, so that the Warriors' fast and accurate ball wind slowed down, the turning point was in the second quarter, Xiao Jia scored 12 points with free throws and grabbed 5 rebounds, and played several back fouls by Bogut and Green to go off the court, and finally the Grizzlies defeated the Warriors again 99:89, and the hero of this game was not Xiao Ga, who scored 21 points and 15 rebounds, nor Randolph, who scored 22 points, It's Conley, who was 3-of-10 from the field and only had 11 points and 5 assists.

Under Conley's tenacious defense, the regular season was extremely accurate, and Curry, who operated every day, played abnormally for the second consecutive game, 8-of-21 from the field, 2-of-10 from three-point range, and scored 23 points, 6 assists and 4 turnovers......

In the first three games, the Grizzlies came up with an outside defense that the Warriors' outside shooters feared, Conley, Tony Allen, Courtney Lee, all became Curry, Thompson's nightmare, the first three games, the Grizzlies also got a 2:1 lead, it seems that the prospect of promotion is promising, but at this critical moment, there was an accident that was enough to change the course of the game.

In the fourth game between the two sides, Tony Allen suffered a recurrence of a hamstring injury in his left leg, and he left the court after only 16 minutes and did not come back, his left leg is actually an old injury, and he has been fighting with injuries this season, and he doesn't want to be at such a critical moment, the Grizzlies' outside defense gate fell because of injury.

There is no doubt that Tony Allen's departure is an absolute loss for the Grizzlies, the Warriors won the game 101-84 in one go, Curry played well, hitting 4 three-pointers on 11-of-22 and scoring 33 points, while Conley couldn't do both offense and defense, and while he couldn't prevent Curry, his offensive rhythm was also disrupted, scoring 10 points, 7 assists and 3 turnovers on 4-of-15 in the game.

In the fourth game, Mr. Tuo still did not return, Jeff Green was originally used as a bench firepower and was put on the starter, but unfortunately the state was average, 5 of 13 scored 10 points, Xiao Jia only scored 18 points and 12 rebounds in 8 of 22 shots, and the Warriors bench Yin Godala was powerful, 10 of 7 hit 16 points, and finally the Grizzlies defeated the Warriors 78:98, with a big score of 2:3, and the situation was extremely unfavorable to the Grizzlies in an instant!

In the sixth game, Mr. Tuo played with an injury before the game, which greatly boosted morale, but due to the serious injury, he only played 5 minutes as a starter and left the court, and the Warriors Boggart stubbornly scolded Xiaojia, who only had 21 points, 15 rebounds and 5 blocks on 7-of-23 shooting, and Bogert blew himself up again with 6 fouls. Curry scored 32 points, 6 rebounds and 10 assists on 11-of-25 from the field, including 13 points in the final quarter, Klay Thompson scored 20 points on 7-of-13, and the Grizzlies in the final game of the season, Carter Sr. helped the Grizzlies stop face, scoring 16 points in 5-of-7, but in the end, the injured Grizzlies still lost to the Warriors 95-108, and the big score was 2:4 to see the Warriors advance.

From the first three games of 2:1, to the injury of Mr. Tuo and the regretful loss of three games in a row by the Warriors, for such a result, we can only think about what would have happened if Mr. Tuo had not been injured, and what would have happened if Conley had not been injured, but there was no if-if in competitive sports......

Obviously, having a healthy Grizzlies is capable of playing a point with the Warriors, and that year's Warriors defeated the Cavaliers with James 4-2 in the Finals, which also gave the Grizzlies the illusion that we were the team that forced the championship into a corner, and this fantasy also strengthened the management's direction for the construction of this team.

So on July 14, 2015, the Grizzlies, who had just finished last season's journey, immediately gave the 30-year-old Xiao Jia a five-year contract worth a total of 100 million, and Randolph, after announcing the execution of the $16.5 million contract last year, the Grizzlies renewed a two-year contract worth $20 million with Randolph, and this season is the first year.

This season's Grizzlies have been extremely turbulent, with 28 players coming and going, including 14 players who have played less than 20 games, making small trades, but picking and selling, trading and trading, and ultimately not getting the results the Grizzlies want.

The Grizzlies made a small trade with the Magic, sending the signing rights of 2013 second-round pick Yannis Dimma to the Magic, acquiring Luke Ridno, which was the beginning of a sad four-day five-time trade for Ridnow, who was sent to the Hornets by the Grizzlies the next day to get Matt Barnes.

Barnes is a 35-year-old veteran, a brilliant 3-and-D player, fierce defensively, and with a lot of gangsterism, every team in the 80s would have a player to play the role of a thug, and whenever his star player was bullied, he would send a thug to take revenge, and Barnes is a character like that.

On July 9, 2015, the Grizzlies made their biggest signing of the season, signing Brian White for three years and 18 million.

White is 208 cm tall and 28 years old, a very physical interior player with a long arm span, nicknamed "Spider-Man", but he is also an exemplary player who plays with his body, and has not developed to the expected level for many years, and after five teams, he came to the Grizzlies this season.

In the opening game, on the basis of retaining the original framework, there are still some reinforcements, and the Grizzlies, who fantasize about being able to break their wrists with the championship-level team, were beaten in the opening game of the new season, 106:76, losing to the Cavaliers by 30 points, which is not the worst, after two wins, the Grizzlies challenged the Warriors away, and in this game, the Grizzlies lost by 50 points 69:119! In this game, in the history of the NBA, the largest loss margin ranked tenth!

The two disastrous defeats have Grizzlies management thinking about new reinforcement options, and they have their sights set on the Heat's Mario Chalmers. Chalmers is the starting guard who won the championship in 2011 for the Heat, naturally he has good ability, three points, and organization, but his short height of 188 cm makes Chalmers weak on the defensive end, but with Chalmers' ability, he will give Conley a start in the Grizzlies, which is more than enough, Chalmers has plummeted after the Heat Big Three, last year's Heat contract left Dragic, the team's guard line is very crowded, Chalmers is the last year of his contract this year, and he will leave Miami next year, In order to avoid losses, the Heat publicly put Chalmers on the trading table.

Eight games later, the Grizzlies made a decisive move, using Udri and a second-round pick to bring Chalmers over and bolster the bench.

The Grizzlies slowly regained their competitiveness after minor repairs, winning 31 of their first 53 games, but on February 8, 2016, the Grizzlies suffered a major setback in the Grizzlies' game against the Trail Blazers, and Gasol Jr. suffered a fracture in his right foot, which cost him a season...... Xiao Jia played well this season, averaging a team-high 16.6 points, grabbing 7.0 rebounds per game, sending 3.8 assists and 1.3 blocks, and also played a triple-double of 16 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists in the game with the Rockets this season......

Without Gasol Jr., the Grizzlies immediately made an emergency remedy, completing a three-point trade with the Hornets and the Heat, sending Courtney Lee to the Hornets two picks in this round and the Heat's Chris Anderson.

Anderson is 208 cm tall and is a very physical inside cake-eating player, nicknamed "Birdman", but this year's Anderson is also 35 years old, and his state is no longer as brave as it used to be.

Xiao Jia's reimbursement is not the focus of the Grizzlies' bad luck this season, Chalmers this season in the Grizzlies is like a new life, although only to play the bench, but his ability is obvious to all, came to the third game of the Grizzlies, he scored 29 points, and then became the first player in Grizzlies history to come off the bench to score 23 points, 8 rebounds, 9 assists and 2 steals, on January 15, it was Xiao Cha who not only scored 25 points and 8 assists in the game, but also shot the Pistons in the last 0.8 seconds! Then he played 11 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists, 5 steals and 2 blocks of comprehensive data, and he was also the first player from the Grizzlies to play such data off the bench, but everything ended dumbly on March 9, 2016, when backup guard Mario Chalmers fell to the ground in a fast break, and then wailed in pain while holding his leg.

Do you think that with the addition of Jr. and the reimbursement of Chalmers, the Grizzlies' bad luck this season is over! Still! Not! Yes!

When the playoffs began on April 5, 201, Grizzlies point guard Mike Conley suffered inflammation and soreness in his left Achilles tendon and needed to be sidelined for three to four weeks, missing at least the first two rounds of the playoffs......

The back-to-back reimbursements of Chalmers and Conley forced Grizzlies management to seek signings and trades on the guard line again, and on April 1, 2016, the Grizzlies veteran signed former Lakers guard Jordan Farmar with a base salary to fill the void on the guard line, and on June 16, 2016, the Grizzlies sent Jeff Green to the Hornets for Lance Stephenson and a first-round pick that was at least protected by the 2019 lottery.

The Grizzlies sent Jeff Green away, which means that the Grizzlies have completely given up on this season's results, but the Grizzlies still made the playoffs with a 42-40 record by relying on the advantages accumulated in the early part of the season.

The No. 1 position is 504 career games, only 40 starts, including 10 games in the Grizzlies' 32-year-old Jordan Farmar this season, the No. 2 position is the 39-year-old Vince Carter, the No. 35 position is 35-year-old Matt Barnes, the No. 4 position is 33-year-old Zach Randolph, and the No. 5 position is 35-year-old Chris Anderson, this is the starting lineup of the Grizzlies in the first round of the playoffs this season, facing the Spurs, and the final result of the game, the Grizzlies ended with 74: 106 was slaughtered by the Spurs for 32 points.

This game is a true portrayal of the whole series, the Spurs easily won the injured Grizzlies 4:0 without blood, four games, the Grizzlies lost an average of 22 points per game, with Carter's three-point shot in the last quarter of the fourth game, this season's Grizzlies journey, ended in such an unbearable face.

The 2016-2017 season is a difficult task for the Grizzlies, on the one hand, the 35-year-old meritorious veteran Zach Randolph has inevitably declined, his physical strength has not allowed him to fight with the opponent for more than 30 minutes every game, Conley in the first position and Tony Allen in the second position and Gasol Jr. in the fifth position From the current state, it can last a few years, but in the third position and the fourth position, if the Grizzlies want to improve in the new season, they must be strengthened in the third and fourth positions, simply This year has good news and bad news for the Grizzlies, the good news is that this season the NBA has re-signed a new broadcast contract, which is up to $2 billion a year, which will inevitably pull up the salary cap, but the bad news is that the players are not stupid, the salary cap has risen, and the value will naturally rise, so fans will see a crazy free market for the 2016-2017 season. Hundreds of millions of dollars are like cannonballs, smashing wildly at capable players!

The first to fire the first shot was none other than the Memphis Grizzlies!

On July 2, 2016, the day after the start of this year's free agency, the Grizzlies extended the contract of the biggest contract in history with a total value of 153 million over five years, and the guard Mike Conley was renewed! This deal has caused a lot of discussion among fans, Conley is undoubtedly worthy of a big contract as the cornerstone of the Grizzlies for many years, but this super big contract is not too big for Conley, who has never been selected to the All-Star or the All-Star Team in his career (2012-2013 was selected to the All-Defensive Team 2 teams), but if you understand the history of the Grizzlies, you will know that this contract is essential for the Grizzlies!

First of all, in terms of ability, although Conley has never been selected as an All-Star, but his hard power is not inferior to any super guard, in the playoffs, in addition to Parker, others such as Lillard, Curry, Westbrook did not get any advantage in the duel with Conley, comprehensive offense and defense, steady style of play, unpretentious, good attitude, has always been Conley's label of playing, and Conley's style of play is very positive, without any annoying small actions, 12 years into the road, never ate T, Off the court, Conley is a model of the league, having won three NBA sportsmanship awards, and with such a flawless foundation on and off the court, how could the Grizzlies not want to stay.

From the Grizzlies' point of view, in fact, there is no way to renew Conley's contract at a sky-high price, the city is small, the exposure rate is low, and the big-name stars would rather take less money than come to Memphis, the Grizzlies have been in history for so many years, have you ever seen the Grizzlies win a big-name star in the free market? Yes, there was a Zach Randolph, who later became the cornerstone of the Grizzlies, but Randolph was actually forced to come to the Grizzlies, his reputation was too bad back then, and the average team didn't dare to ask for it, even if those who offered Randolph with the attitude of giving it a try, the contract was also low and pitiful, and there was no way, so he accepted the Grizzlies' contract......

On the same day that Conley renewed his contract, the Grizzlies, who had never won a big-name star in the free market before, changed their norm and signed Chandler Parsons to a four-year, $94.8 million extension, becoming the biggest player signed in the free market in Grizzlies history.

But...... I'm going to say but......

Parsons didn't go to any other team, only the Grizzlies, and hastily signed a contract with Memphis on the second day of free agency development, which must have been a bit of a trick......

Parsons is the second-round pick of the Rockets in 2011, played in the Rockets for three years, became a dragon, and grew into a first-class small forward in the league, in the 2013-2014 season, Parsons in the Rockets took a salary of 930,000 US dollars, played an average of 16.6 points, 5.5 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 1.2 steals per game, shooting 47.2% three-point 37% star-level data, known as the NBA's lowest-paid high-energy model player, handsome, and able to play, Parsons quickly became the talk of the league, After the end of the three-year rookie contract, Parsons went to the Mavericks for 3 years and 46 million to the third-year player option, and he actually played well in the Mavericks, although the attendance rate was only 77% in the two seasons, but the average of 14.8 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.6 assists per game, plus a 47% shooting rate and a three-point shooting rate of more than 4 percent was not very bad, so this year, Parsons decided to jump out of the player option and take advantage of the salary cap of the new broadcast agreement to sign a big contract!

But Parsons, who entered the free market, is not very popular, many teams are worried about his health, he has problems with his left and right knees, last season's series between the Rockets and the Mavericks, Parsons underwent right knee surgery, and he was unable to play in the first half of next season, and the knee is still the most important part of the athlete, so many teams chose to wait and see, and only two teams participated in the bidding at that time, one was the Trail Blazers, who offered a 4-year 90 million contract, but the last year was a non-guaranteed contract, But the Grizzlies gave four full years of full coverage......

The Grizzlies can't take care of so much, the team's solid roster for many years is getting older and older as it is postponed season by season, and the high-quality No. 3 position that the Grizzlies have been thinking about for many years but can't get makes the Grizzlies management get carried away, so they paid a lot of money to take Parsons, and in the end, this contract made the Grizzlies pit completely ......
