The Grizzlies have been teetering on the brink of the playoffs since leaving Canada for Tennessee in 2000, which is not too bad for a team that was formed in the mid-'90s, but they are not bottom of the league and have a good chance of making the playoffs.

However, under the league system, middle and lower teams like the Grizzlies have always suffered the most, they can't compete for the championship compared to the top, and they can't get a good draft spot compared to the bottom, so the Grizzlies have always been like a child who doesn't love his uncle and doesn't love him, and he has been inconspicuously mixed in the league.

But since Coach Rons Jerry took charge of the Grizzlies four years ago, the team has been on the right path.

(Salute to Coach Jerry Sloan, I saw a video some time ago that the retired coach suffered from Parkinson's disease and Lewy body dementia, and the old coach who had forgotten his relatives could still remember his former players, and it was sad to watch.) ）

Rons Jerry traded point guard Coolyat Lawrence from the Golden State Warriors after taking office, and then set out to develop the Grizzlies' rookie power forward, Pastmanny.

Since then, the Grizzlies have gradually developed their own unique style of play, with simple blocking and pick-and-roll coordination on offense and iron and decisive defense, and this team that has only been hovering on the edge of the playoffs has finally blossomed after the start of this season.

Twenty-seven-year-old Coolyat Lawrence was a rookie selected by the Golden State Warriors in the 2014-2015 season, when the 1.86-meter-tall and less than 180-pound Kuryat was only selected by the Golden State Warriors at the end of the second round.

Although Kuriat relied on his excellent ball control and passing ability to secure a solid bench position with the Golden State Warriors, the Golden State Warriors, who believed that Kuriat was physically deficient, eventually chose to trade Kuriat.

After coming to the Grizzlies, Coolyat felt like he was at home, although the coach Mr. Lons was very strict, but Coolyat, who grew up in a single-parent family, found a fatherly feeling in Coach Lons, he obeyed any command of the coach, and completely made himself a star point guard in the league.

Now against the hottest runners in the league, Coolyat is full of fighting spirit, because Coach Rons asks him to surpass the Oriental, and Coolyat himself wants to become the league's number one point guard.

So after the start of the game, Coolyat put a lot of pressure on Turgun defensively.

Unlike Crismonto, who defended Turgun in the last game, Coolyat's defensive movements are not clean, but they definitely do not have as many small actions and "black hands" as Crismonto, on the contrary, Kuriat, who is about the same height and weight as Turgon, is more likely to use his speed and toughness to entangle Turgon, which makes Turgun have a sense of powerlessness.

In the offense, the Grizzlies' blocking and dismantling cooperation is extremely atmospheric, the Runners are not good at defense, and the Grizzlies team's cooperation is indeed tacit enough, but the simple tactics reveal a simple charm, which makes Wang Lei a little shocked.

In Wang Lei's view, the Grizzlies' point guard Coolyat can be called an excellent point guard who is not inferior to Turgon, and his characteristics are very good at grasping the rhythm and reading the opponent's defense, and any fleeting gap cannot escape Coolyat's eyes, and after finding a gap, Coolyat can also use the most concise and effective pass to send the ball to his partner Pastmani.

The Grizzlies' 15th rookie selected in the first round of the 2016-2017 season, Pastmanny, has gradually become the core of the Grizzlies' interior offense and defense after being coached by Rons Jerry.

A strong body, muscles that are not inferior to those of Mr. Bodybuilder, and most importantly, the big iron elbows that are wielded in the game and radiate their hostility to all who come close to them are the most basic weapons of Pastmani.

On top of that, Lons Jerry has also used the past few years to develop Pastmanny's mid-range shooting ability, and although the muscular man can't guarantee a consistent mid-range shot in the game yet, it won't be a problem at all against the weak Runners on the inside.

So the game gradually changed under Wang Lei's worries, and the Runners, who had used a three-point lead after the opening, actually trailed the Grizzlies by 6 points at the end of the first quarter.

The Runners didn't play the same smooth coordination as they used to play against the Grizzlies, Turgun was locked up by Coolyat, and the Runners' rhythm was completely controlled by the Grizzlies.

Wang Lei's worries have become a reality, he is worried that the other players will become lazy after Turgun released his own score** in the last game, and now it seems that this situation is really happening.

People are inert, it is easier to lie down and win than to run hard, although some players do not have such thoughts, but subconsciously, they will think that Turgun can solve everything, this is what Wang Lei is most worried about, once such a situation appears, the atmosphere of the whole team will be completely changed, and the contradiction will inadvertently plant seeds.

So after the end of the first quarter of the game, Wang Lei rarely lost his temper at the starters on the court, and the first thing he scolded was Turgon, but Wang Lei did not mention any game about the previous game, he just criticized Turgun for playing too gently, this is a basketball court, not an amusement park for loving each other.

In addition to criticizing Turgon, Wang Lei also sharply sarcastically ridiculed other players, he directly pointed out the laziness of these players, and said that if someone wants to be lazy, then they can directly deal with injuries and stop, and they can rest for a long time.

After Wang Lei's anger was vented, the players of the Runners were indeed a little frightened, they were all young people in their twenties, many of them were inexperienced, but they did not evolve into that kind of old fritters, so Wang Lei's sarcasm and scolding made these players blush, and also rekindled the team's fighting spirit.

As for Turgon, he actually understands Wang Lei's intentions better, he knows that the coach scolding himself is just a superficial job, after all, he played an unparalleled performance in the last game, so Wang Lei did not mention any words about the last game when he scolded Turgon, and now he criticizes Turgun for not being tough enough just to protect him and prevent Turgun from being different from other players.

So Turgun still controls his rhythm, and he is still more "gentle" Hakuriyat entanglement, and he knows that his biggest weapon is not the "iron-blooded" defense, but the subtle grasp of the rhythm.
