Conley passed the ball to Guy, and Guy chose to pass the ball in the face of Jamison's defense, which made the Warriors a little stunned.

What the is going on, Guy should be the Grizzlies' highest contract player, right? The first goal of the opening game is about morale, if you don't come yourself, what are you passing to Randolph for?

Guy's offensive and defensive desires have always been the focus of fan discussions, as well as the Grizzlies' breakthrough record.

Over the past few seasons, Guy has been fortunate to have never been hit by any injuries, which has allowed him to play consistently. Last season, Guy averaged 19 per game. 6 points 5. Nine rebounds, compared to his career average of 17. 4 points 5. 5 rebounds, which is considered to maintain a rare steady dìng, but compared to his previous seasons, it is not much improved.

One of the things that Guy has been criticized for is the lack of a big heart to grow into a superstar. At the time of the draft, Guy was resentful because he was sold by the Houston Rockets, and he once made a bold statement that he wanted to make his old club look good against the Rockets. But when he secured the Grizzlies' No. 3 position, it was discovered that Guy quickly wore out that pride.

Randolph couldn't help it, so he came to play himself, he got the ball and turned around to give Gasol Jr. a look, the latter came up to help block Chamberlain, Randolph quickly cut to the basket, and as soon as he put the ball away, he threw the ball out, Ibaka didn't have time to defend and watched the ball fall into the hoop.

2-0, the Grizzlies won the opening game.

Randolph is indeed the same as before, and after scoring the first goal, he low-key high-fives and Gasol Jr. celebrated, and then quickly ran off the field to prepare his defense, although everyone knew that his defense was unreliable.

But sometimes the NBA is all about attitude, isn't it? It's true that Randolph doesn't defend well, but if his defense is as good as his offense, then he's Garnett and Duncan instead of Randolph.

Randolph is indeed a strange player, he is fat but agile and healthy, and he can score 20+10 all year round without losing sight of his block.

In the 2006-07, 2008-09, and 2009-10 seasons, Randolph averaged 20 points and 10 rebounds per game, but only 15, 16, and 34 blocks were allowed, respectively.

But that's nothing, he's got Carlos Boozer and David Lee in front of him.

Boozer averaged 20 per game in the 2006-07 season. 9 points 11. 7 rebounds, but only 21 blocks overall; Lee averaged 20 per game last season. 2 points 11. 7 rebounds, but only 40 blocks in total - and Lee also defeated James White, who can make "two-handed dunks from the free throw line" at the McDonald's Dunk Contest, which shows that he is not without blocking ability.

It turns out that some players are just not good at blocking, which is not a good thing, but it is by no means a reason to be criticized. Although Randolph did have a negative appearance in the past, at least after coming to the Grizzlies, he was quite powerful.

As it turned out, Randolph last season 21. The efficiency of 21 ranks sixth among all power forwards in the league, and the rebounding rate is 12. 6, ranked fifth among all players in the league, and averaged 4 per game. 1 frontcourt rebound, third among all players in the league; At the same time, only Randolph and Chamberlain can rank in the top five in both front-court rebounding rate and front-court rebounding statistics.

Chamberlain is already widely regarded as the No. 1 defensive expert in history, but if he were asked to pick a few interior players who didn't want to defend on the roster, Randolph would have to be one of them, and if he had to pick a few opponents he found more difficult to deal with, the Grizzlies would be one of them.

In Chamberlain's view, the combination of Randolph and Gasol Jr. is a match made in heaven, Randolph is flawed in defense, high offensive ability, and response ability, but these flaws can be perfectly compensated by Mark Gasol.

Gasol Jr. is not very good at offense and rebounding, but it just so happens that Randolph is good at these two points, so the combination of the two of them is two fierce black bears and white bears.

The Warriors responded with a quick pace, with Chamberlain quickly cutting to the basket and West passing the ball to Jamison, who noticed Chamberlain's run and passed it again.

With the ball in hand, Chamberlain faced Gasol Jr.'s defense under the basket, he slammed it in, and then stepped back and left the box.

Gasol Jr. resisted the impact and followed, but as soon as he left the penalty area, Chamberlain reversed and killed back. It stands to reason that Gasol Jr.'s interior partner is needed at this time, but Randolph is really unreliable defensively, and he was actually taken out of the three-point line by Ibaka......

There was no one on the inside, Chamberlain simply jumped up and smashed his hands down with a violent buckle.

Grizzlies' possession of the ball, Conley passed the ball to Guy again, but Guy still didn't attack on his own, he ran half a lap with it, and passed the ball to Mayo.

Mayo is also more tragic, his career can be said to be "step by step" - from the first high school student in the United States that year, to being defended by Russell Westbrook in college to 4 points and 10 rebounds, and now to the Memphis Grizzlies three-in-command, Mayo's career is getting narrower and narrower.

But until now, there are still many people who believe that Mayo still has what it takes to become the successor to Kobe Bryant. But facts have proved that although from a subjective point of view, this can be had, but from the perspective of objective conditions, this is really not.

In the 2009-10 season, Mayo averaged 17 per game. 5 points 3. 8 rebounds 3. 0 assists 1. 2 steals, 2 turnovers per game. 1 shot, 45 shots. 8% and 38 three-point percentages. 3%。

It can be said that Mayo, like the grizzly bear, belongs to the evergreen of the ages. People (teams) who don't make the slightest change - last season, only Mayo, Mike Conley and Rudy Gay on the Grizzlies team could shoot an average of one three-pointer per game, and this season, the Grizzlies are still only Mayo and Conley can do this, so what about Mayo personally? He shot from 38 from three-point range. 4% turned into 38. 3%, which is almost no fluctuation.

With an average of 17+3+3 per game, he can only be regarded as a second-rate NBA scoring guard, and in terms of efficiency, Mayo is indeed a second-rate player - his efficiency value is only 14. 61, which ranks 23rd among all shooting guards in the league.

And Tony Allen, who joined the Grizzlies this summer, also has an efficiency rating of 14. 23, compared to Mayo's only 0. 4 of the difference, and how much is Aaron's salary? It's just $3 million.

It is true that Mayo's various numbers are relatively stable and balanced, but it should be pointed out that there is still a big gap between him and the standards expected by the outside world - at least the current 17+3+3 is difficult to satisfy.

While the Grizzlies gave Rudy Gay a five-year, $81 million contract extension this summer, the truth is that a person tends to be very cautious when he is fooled, and if Mayo wants to get a contract that is not inferior to Gay next summer, then he first needs owner Michael Hasley to become a little more normal, and secondly, he needs to work hard to make his numbers a little better looking than Aaron Brooks in the 2009-10 season.

Therefore, unlike Guy, Mayo in the contract year chose to shoot when he got the ball - anyway, Lao Tzu is a scoring guard, and Lao Tzu's shooting is natural!

'Bang', the ball popped up, and Chamberlain protected his one-acre three-point land under the basket and rose up to grab the rebound.

As a result, at this moment, a fat figure rushed up from the flank, and Chamberlain looked like he was going to grab his rebound, which is still it? With a wave of his big hand, he squeezed the ball down.

After landing on the ground, Chamberlain found that it was Randolph who grabbed the ball just now, and the latter saw that he did not grab the ball, so he turned around and ran down decisively, actively defending.

"Damn, this thing has changed too much, right?" Chamberlain said as he passed the ball to Curry, who looked at West and said, "Delonte has changed even more." ”

Curry's control of the ball is another style compared to West, pushing slowly and slowly, Mayo on the opposite side keeps reaching out to interfere, Curry doesn't care, he is strong, and the breeze is blowing on the hills.

Once in the frontcourt, Curry bent over and rushed forward with the ball. Mayo opened his arms to block, and Curry came to change direction, stuck Mayo into the range of the restricted area, and then flung the ball out and passed to the open West.

West got the ball up and down, and hit the shot.

Less than two minutes into the game, the Grizzlies called their first timeout.

The Warriors kept up the tempo of the offense, making it difficult for the Grizzlies to maintain the rhythm, and halfway through the first quarter, the Warriors led 15-10.

Chamberlain scored four straight points, Curry and West combined with him at the same time, and the Warriors opened the score with a 10-2 offensive climax in the end, and Chamberlain's individual offense made the Grizzlies' defense helpless, and the first quarter of the game ended, and the Warriors led 30-20.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Warriors were about to change the bench, Tabit got the opportunity to play, Chamberlain patted him on the shoulder and said: "Go wash your shame, brother, where you fall, get up!" ”

As soon as the game started, Mayo hit a three-pointer, which is rare, and the Grizzlies' long-range shooting has been unreliable.

In Chamberlain's absence, West shouldered the task of the main offense, and he scored consecutive sneak inside points, and the Warriors scored 7 points in a row to stretch the score bigger and bigger.

The Grizzlies saw that things were not good, but they still let the black and white bears dominate the court, Randolph singled Tabit, he was very familiar with the latter, and attacked from the wing with nimble steps, and then suddenly got up and pulled out a jumper, Tabit was caught off guard and quickly jumped up, only to catch a foul.

2+1, seeing this scene, old Nelson and Chamberlain were a little disappointed, Tabit seemed to be very nervous after playing, his performance on the field was very substandard, which was the reason why he could not be reused, in fact, in the training match, Tabit's table xiàn was good, and it could create a lot of difficulties for Chamberlain.

After scoring a 3-pointer with a free throw, Randolph continued to lead the Grizzlies' attack, and he made a series of attacks on the inside, and Tabit was helpless in the face of him, and the old Nelson resisted the urge to make a substitution and did not replace him.

The Grizzlies were integrated offense and defense, and they were not short of offensive talent, and in the first eight minutes of the second quarter, the Grizzlies went on a 25-18 run to put the Warriors' lead in jeopardy.

Old Nelson was finally disappointed in Tabit and replaced him, the Tanzanian was obviously frustrated, he came off the field with heavy feet and his eyes wandering, Chamberlain patted him on the shoulder to give him some comfort, but Tabit didn't even have the courage to look at him.

Chamberlain changed to the court, and the Warriors' offense and defense immediately took on a new look, he first asked for the ball in the low post to eat Gasol Jr., and then Randolph also wanted to attack the hoop from the wing, and he was rewarded with a powerful hot pot.

After Chamberlain came out in this way, the Warriors' shape finally improved, and they maintained their lead 60-52 at the end of the first half.

The two sides changed sides in the second half, and the Warriors' offense played very well, with Tony Allen and Conley's balls being stolen one after another, and the Warriors played a 13-3 offensive climax to open the score.

The Grizzlies hurriedly called a timeout, but their defense has been destroyed by the Warriors' offense that fires inside and outside, and it will be difficult to get back into the situation.

Chamberlain's 2+1 will allow the Warriors' offense to continue to penetrate the Grizzlies' position, and his individual ability is so strong that the score is stretched to 22 points.

In this quarter, the Grizzlies blamed themselves for their poor offense, scoring only 14 points in the entire third quarter, and the Warriors led 88-66 into the final quarter.

With so much lead in the team, the Warriors naturally replaced the bench again, Chamberlain went off the court, Tabit was on the field again, and the old Nelson still didn't give up on him.

Both teams started the game with a lot of shots, and Curry's three-point shot was fouled by Gay and all three free throws opened up the situation.

On the Grizzlies' side, Randolph and Gasol Jr. teamed up to attack, but they couldn't change the team's disadvantage of falling behind by a large score, and the game missed early and the suspense went into garbage time.
