After the defeat to the Celtics, New York City was in a gloomy mood, and I thought that the contest between two teams with rich history in the East would be exciting, but it turned out that it was clearly self-inflicted, and Boston didn't take the Knicks seriously at all.

However, rational fans can still accept this result, after all, the Knicks' changes this season are obvious to all, if not the world's upside down, but at least it can be regarded as a makeover, and the team has also entered the top eight in the West, all of which were not expected at the beginning.

It is worth mentioning that after the defeat to the Celtics, the Knicks slipped back to eighth in the East, not only the Bulls and Bobcats and other competitors have been gaining momentum recently, but even the performance of teams such as the Pacers and Pistons who are still struggling for tickets has also put some pressure on New York, so in the next game against the Memphis Grizzlies, this group of guys can only choose to win the game.

For the Grizzlies, the biggest gain this season is their super big front rotten tofu, from the Knicks to the Clippers, from the Clippers to the Grizzlies, the successive changes seem to make Randolph repent overnight, and the Memphis people are pleasantly surprised to find that the rotten tofu that was once regarded as a data brush and a team cancer is gone, and it is a top big man with interior dominance who reappears in front of everyone.

Averaging 20.8 points and 11.6 rebounds per game so far this season, Randolph has built a league-leading interior for the Grizzlies. The former is good at guarding, the latter is capable of doing anything in the low post, even if the Grizzlies are not currently in the playoffs. But that doesn't mean they can't in the future.

Not to mention, technically, the Grizzlies can't make the playoffs in large part because they're in the competitive West and in the Southwest Division, where the Mavericks, Spurs, and Rockets, the top three Texas teams are concentrated. If it were to be in the East, there was no guarantee that Memphis would not surprise people.

Of course, the arrogant New Yorkers don't care about these issues, and after a heavy loss, they desperately need a win to ease their heavy feelings, and what if the Grizzlies are underdogs, the teams that have not squeezed into the playoff queue have always been out of their sight. Regarding this game, the Big Apple is quite optimistic.

"Grizzly bear? They are a good team! The great director Spike Lee expressed his opinion in the fan base, "They have rotten tofu. And Guy, who seems to be emboldened, but I would say that New York will blow them up. Definitely! ”

The Grizzlies are in 10th place in the West with three wins so far. On the surface, they still have a big chance, and while three wins is a big gap in the West, the Grizzlies don't intend to give up. Under the wise direction of coach Hollins, Memphis have won two in a row and will likely move up another spot if they can beat New York in this game.

The game was held at FedEx Arena, home of the Grizzlies, as the team has been on the verge of late, with local fans rushing to show their support for the team. The stadium of Nuoda was empty, when the away fans entered. The Memphis made a big move.

"I hate playing away, so I can't make people quiet!" Li Chen complained to his teammates unhappily, but Battier's confused expression clearly proved that he hadn't heard the complaint. Li Chen shrugged his shoulders helplessly, he could only hope that the game would start soon, and by that time it should be quieter.

D'Antoni made a little change in this game, considering the approaching playoffs, he began to plan to buy some rest time for the main players through the rotation system, especially players like Chandler who are in high injury risk, and the mustache has to be careful to deal with.

Mirisic got a rare chance to start, the Serb's expression was both excited and nervous, excited because he finally made a start, even if it was only temporary, and the nervousness was naturally due to worrying about his performance, in case he didn't play well this time, then the next time he got such an opportunity, he didn't know what year and month he would have to wait for, after all, the patience of the mustache has always been not very abundant.

D'Antoni also replaced Hughes with Battier on the guard lineback, and the steal king's recent performance has been a mess, but the steady Battier is more reassuring in comparison, and the mustache will not dare to be negligent in this day of fighting to the end for the playoffs.

On the Grizzlies side, they also sent their strongest lineup, and since he was sent to the Grizzlies as an addition to his brother, his talent on the defensive end has become increasingly obvious, and his 14.5 points and 9.3 rebounds this season show his value, such a statistic is obviously not something that a player can play, and the Grizzlies did not lose money in the trade of sending Gasol away.

As for the rotten tofu, there is no need to say much, when people were still thinking about who was more suitable to be the boss of the grizzlies between Guy and Mayo, the rotten tofu that was killed in the air gave people a third choice, and his performance made more and more people admire.

Guy and Mayo are still stable, although they haven't surprised as much as Randolph, but they haven't disappointed anyway, as well as Conley, the Grizzlies' playmaking tandem has become more and more consistent due to his presence.

Objectively speaking, the Grizzlies' talent is not inferior to the youth army of the Thunder Bulls and the Knicks, although they are slightly inferior in terms of record, but people can already have a hunch that the league will have a place for the Grizzlies in the next few years, after all, they have no obvious weaknesses in their five positions.

Without Chandler, the Knicks' jump ball lost to the Grizzlies without suspense, Randolph was not liked by New York because of his attitude, and in terms of athletic talent, even New York itself could not find any fault, there is no doubt that Randolph has the top physical quality.

In the first shot of the opening game, the Grizzlies played unhurriedly, Mayo passed to Guy, Guy broke through and gave it to Xiaojia, who threw the ball into the hands of Mayo on the outside again, and the continuous conversion made Hollins nod again and again.

Mayo passes to Conley, who hoists the ball into the rotten tofu hand on the inside, and Randolph takes the ball unhurriedly, after shaking it slightly. He decisively threw the ball to the basket.

2 points! Grizzlies get off to a good start!

Mirisic secretly rejoiced that D'Antoni didn't let him defend Randolph, otherwise he would have replaced David Lee as the background man. And now, Xiaojia, who is more on defense and attracts attention, has not put much pressure on him for the time being.

Unfortunately, the good times did not last long, and in less than two minutes, Randolph once again forced David Lee to win, and D'Antoni, who was off the field, felt that he needed to make a change, and he gestured to the captain on the field, Battier, and asked him to tell Mirisic and David Lee to switch guards.

"God? Joke? The Victory Cigar was instantly depressed. The luck had been lost without a trace, and although it was surprising that the coach trusted his defense, he was asked to defend Randolph. Isn't it difficult for a strong man, Mirisic is very worried about whether he will be exposed.

"With a snack, that guy isn't a big deal!" David Lee, who had just given away the hot potato, did not have the slightest self-consciousness, and he seemed to be sincere in instructing Mirisic. "Watch his steps. And don't give him a chance to shoot in the box! ”

Mirisic just nodded, since people said so, he could only listen to it like this, after all, as a soy sauce party, he had no capital to bargain with the main players at all, although he had Li Chen as a backer, but he also knew that this was based on his honest life, once he had the courage to get carried away, I believe that Li Chen, who is the boss, will definitely not have any appeasement.

Li Chen picked up the basket after breaking through. The ball is back on the Grizzlies' side, considering Randolph is on fire. Once again, Mike Conley put the ball in the hands of Randolph, who was already in position. The latter leaned on his big ass and proudly pressed Mirisic behind him, in his opinion, this slightly stronger white big man was no different from the previous one, the same was a soft egg.

After turning around, Randolph pulled his body back, took a step forward and turned around again, Lan Tofu had already bullied David Lee once before, but this time it was not very effective on Mirisic. The Victory Cigar came out of Old Brown's hands, how could he be deceived by such a simple trick.

Randolph, who had lost his chance, had no choice but to hand the ball back to Conley, and the Grizzlies tried to reorganize the offense, Mirisic secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, and it seemed that he had escaped for the time being.

Mayo held the ball, Battier followed the opponent's footsteps, and the continuous shaking did not let the defensive titan lose his position, he always firmly limited the opponent's offensive line, and under the urging of the countdown, Mayo made a hasty shot, and the shot fell into the hands of David Lee after the shot hit the basket, and the Knicks almost completed a standard defense for 24 seconds.

After getting the ball again, Curry steadily took the ball across the half court, and then, at the moment when Li Chen and Battier crossed the run, Babyface quickly passed the ball to Battier, and Mayo, who was supposed to defend Batman, had been deceived by Li Chen to the other side at this time.

Grizzlies Jr. quickly pulled out the defense, and Battier unhurriedly passed the ball to the unguarded David Lee, who hit an easy layup.

David Lee's goal allowed the Knicks to complete the comeback, and the score became 8-9 on the court, and the Grizzlies temporarily fell behind by one point.

Rotten Tofu held the ball again, Mirisic continued to pounce on the defense honestly, the success just now made him a little more confident, indeed, everyone is an ordinary person, no matter how talented you are, if you want to score goals, you can only rely on a few means, the arsenal left by Old Brown makes Mirisic believe that he can always find the corresponding means of restraint.

However, the next facts proved that there was a reason why the substitute was a substitute, and the flash of inspiration of rotten tofu allowed him to successfully occupy a position in the top five goals of the day.

Randolph, who had his back to Mirisic, suddenly handed the ball to Gasol Jr. on the other side, and then made a big turn and firmly carried Milicic behind him.

Gently tossing the ball to the basket, because of the short distance, Xiao Jia's pass did not need much difficulty to complete, Randolph saw this, jumped up, grabbed the basketball in the air and fell with a bang, the basketball was sent into the basket cleanly.

Wow! The scene was full of exclamations, the domineering dunk of rotten tofu made the audience's hearts ripple, and the atmosphere of the scene exploded instantly, and Randolph's arrogant roar made many fans can't help but chant the name of their idol, and even the on-site commentary couldn't hold back their excitement.

"Be careful, there's a bear here!"

Milicic shook his head in a sloppy manner, but his well-calculated defense collapsed in the performance of his opponent, much to the disappointment of his accustomed cigar of victory.

Of course, this is just this moment, after all, he has been a professional player for many years, he has long been accustomed to all kinds of situations on the field, just do what the coach asks, compared to the cheers of the audience, the coach's approval is more important, and that kind of goal is obviously not to blame his defense.

"Bear infested? I'd say I still have a bearskin in my house, that's my trophy! In the cheers of the crowd, someone looked coldly at everything around him, although the bearskin had nothing to do with his half a dime, but he was cheeky and did not think so, and under the tendency of vanity, his desire to win the game was even stronger.
