"Wow, Gasol Jr. is still here, he is not soft at all in the face of Jokic, who is also a European interior line and a second-round show, and he came to a low post back play and then hooked his hand, Jokic not only didn't defend but also paid a foul, and Randolph didn't play in the entire second quarter, and it was all up to Gasol Jr. to support the Grizzlies' interior offense!" Zhang said reasonably.

"Hell!" Hornacek on the sidelines looked at the score of 52:48 on the court and cursed, how did Gasol Jr. play in the face of Jokic and Gobert in this game, plus the outside flowering, Conley and Courtney Lee frequently scored three points from the outside, and the Suns not only did not catch up with the score in the second quarter, but also fell behind by 4 points.

After the break, Hornacek replaced Marc Lee, who had not rested, and brought on CJ McLum, Clarkson, Pierce, Markieff and Gobert.

And the Grizzlies also changed Gasol Jr., who played a full two quarters, and sent a lineup of Benno Yodri, Tony Allen, Quincy Pondset, Randolph and Costa Koufus.

Then the black fat man Randolph was powerful, in the second half of the Grizzlies attacked for the first time, Randolph received the ball at a 45-degree position outside the three-second zone, dribbled a few times to the middle and then turned around, the face frame was fake and faked, but in fact, the cross step layup was successful, this kind of operation even Hornacek on the sidelines was stunned, this is a 260-pound big fat man can do the opcode?

The round got the Suns offense, Clarkson picked up the ball to face Benno Yudri, although Benno Yudri is also a white guard, but his defense is not bad at all 1, which can be seen from his resume, in the 2004 NBA draft, Benno Yudri was selected by the San Antonio Spurs with the 28th pick in the first round, Spurs-born players generally don't have too bad defense, after all, your defensive habits have been developed at that time, And 10 years of NBA experience has made the 32-year-old Benno Yodri an old fritter, Clarkson has nothing he can do at all, and on the other side, CJ McCollum also has no space under Tony Allen's defense, so Krakosen made a pull-up jump shot, fortunately, Gobert grabbed the rebound, but when Gobert passed to Pierce, Pierce's shot was also iron, and Kouvers picked up the rebound.

The Grizzlies attacked again, Randolph still received the ball in the same position, went to the middle by dribbling the ball and turned around to kill the basket, and used a certain amount of strength when playing, and turned around and strode at the same time as pushing Markieff away, blocking Markieff behind him in one step, and made a layup, Gobert was pulled out by Koufuss, and he didn't have time to return to the basket.

Suns general manager Ryan sighed and turned to Markieff's stats in 2013/14: 26.6 minutes, 13.8 points, 6.1 rebounds, 1.8 assists, shooting 48.6% from the field and 31.5% from three-point range.

Markieff Morris was one of the Suns' biggest surprises last season. He was drafted by the Suns with the 13th pick in the first round in 2011 and had a disappointing performance at the start of his career at Phoenix, but then Markieff finally became the player the Suns would always think of.

Before the 2012-13 trade deadline, Phoenix made a trade with the Houston Rockets to take Markoff's younger brother Marcus to the desert. It's actually a low-risk gamble (paying only a second-round pick) and the Suns hope to boost the contributions of both men at the same time. And they did.

Last season, Markieff seemed to be a completely different player, with consistent and efficient performances on both ends of the floor. The skin has transformed from the previous unsatisfactory kite man "big forward" to a skilled power forward, who can turn over the river and the sea on the inside, and can also score efficiently in the middle distance. Not only that, but his defense has improved, as has his rebounding. He seems to have suddenly become an all-rounder that the Suns can rely on, and he got almost as many minutes as a substitute last season as Frye as a starter.

But the Suns' next goal is to win the championship, Ryan is not an ordinary team's big forward, but the starting power forward in the team that is likely to win the championship, the offensive end of Markieff Morris is not good at long-range shooting, not as good as Love and Aldridge, and on the defensive end he is not as good as the Thunder's Ibaka, even in the playoffs last season, Griffin averaged 23.5 points + 7.4 rebounds + 3.8 assists per game under Markieff's defense, and more importantly, this year is Markieff's contract year, He and his younger brother Marcus are both 11-year rookies, after a four-year rookie contract, Marcus and Markieff Suns can only stay one, at present, Markieff's contract is bigger than Marcus, this is also Ryan has to consider, after all, the contract extension of Li Mojie and Gobert in two years will not be small!

When the general manager of the Suns, Ryan, was still thinking, the game was still going on, and it was okay for young people to play with the wind, but when they encountered a strong team like the Grizzlies, which is known for its defense, they were a little dumb, and the outside Clarkson and McCollum hit the iron one after another, and the score looked bigger and bigger, fortunately, there was also a veteran Pierce on the Suns bench, Pierce took over the Suns' gun, and faced Quincy Ponteside with two mid-range shots, Quincy Ponset was a wing shooter with outstanding arms, and his crosshairs were up and down; Able to hold the ball and make fouls, difficult to finish offense; Good athleticism before injury, solid defensively but too conservative. Last season, on December 10, 2013, the Grizzlies announced that guard swingman Quincy Pondset would miss the rest of the 2013-14 season due to a stress fracture in his right foot.

In the third quarter, Hornacek made a series of adjustments, but the Grizzlies still led the Suns by five points at 77-72 into the final quarter.

In the fourth quarter, Hornacek changed to the starting lineup in the first quarter, and the Grizzlies also replaced Gasol Jr., Carter, Conley and others.

At the beginning of the game, Li Mojie faced Carter who was 199cm (Carter was barefoot 196cm) and said: "Vince, why didn't you come to our Suns this season, and we invited you this year!" Carter played 81 games off the bench with the Mavericks last season, and averaged 11.9 points + 3.5 rebounds + 2.6 assists per game from an average of 24.4 minutes per game to prove that although he is old, he is still in good shape, so many teams expressed interest in Carter in the offseason, but in the end, Vince Carter finally joined the Memphis Grizzlies to sign a three-year, $12 million contract, and wore back his No. 15 jersey.

"I still prefer to play with the old guys!" Carter smiled.

Li Mojie sighed in his heart, but the ball in his hand did not stop, dribbling with his right hand, taking a step with his left foot, with his right heel, he stepped twice in a row, holding the ball and taking a tentative step.

Suddenly, Li Mojie moved sideways to the left, and Carter's tense nerve reflex caused him to pounce directly to the left.

Fooled! Li Mojie forcibly retracted the foot he stepped out of the line and went straight to the inside!

The Grizzlies did a very good job of supplementing and assisting in defense, Courtney Lee blocked Li Mojie's offensive route for the first time, protecting his crotch with both hands, but Li Mojie made a direct back pass, Middleton didn't know when he had run to the bottom corner, and the man arrived at the ball, and the three-point shot hit!

However, the Grizzlies immediately returned the favor with Conley dribbling to Gasol Jr. with 12 seconds left, and then cut inside himself, drawing the attention of the Suns' defense.

Gordon caught up with Conley who cut without the ball, but Randolph made a cover for Conley, and Gasol Jr. ran out from the inside, unguarded, and pushed shots from mid-range, Gasol Jr.'s shooting feel was really good in this game, and there were almost no arc shots!

In the end, the Suns lost to the Grizzlies 97-104, falling to second place in the West with a record of four wins and one loss, ushering in their first loss of the season.
