Chapter 33 Uproar

In the impression of senior fans, the Memphis Grizzlies and their predecessor, Vancouver Grizzlies, are the team with the worst record, the worst draft ability and the stupidest general manager in NBA history, and the fact is basically the case.

In the Grizzlies' short team history, this team broke many shameful records in the league. They had 40 wins and 42 losses last season, and actually created the fourth best record in the team's 15-year history.

The Grizzlies' team building policy has always been very confusing. Even though they finally improved a little last season, they still give people the feeling that young newcomers who have accumulated for many years have finally taken advantage of it.

Whether in Vancouver or Memphis, the Grizzlies are a typical small market team. Many times their trading is not to improve the team's strength, but more like clearing the team's salary space.

Therefore, since the Grizzlies were established, there are almost no loyal fans at all.

However, the prospects of the Grizzlies this season are worth looking forward to. At least from their current record of seven wins and eight losses and ranking ninth in the Western Conference, I still see a little bit of the rise.

In terms of staffing, the Grizzlies are much better than they were at the low point a few years ago.

Judging from the team's age structure, the Grizzlies' players have also become relatively mature.

From the perspective of team management, the maximum salary renewal of Rudy Guy should be regarded as a rare "ambition" for the Grizzlies. However, as the saying goes, Rome is not a one-day occurrence. Even if the Grizzlies really hope to allow the team to follow the example of the Portland Trail Blazers and the Oklahoma City Thunder and become a fearsome youth team, their background and their own book combat power still have no advantages among the Western powers.

However, it is eye-catching that the Grizzlies' young players have made some progress beyond expectations this season.

It is precisely because of this that the Grizzlies can always maintain their competitiveness in the playoffs.

Even though the Grizzlies don't seem to have much prospect at the moment, this team still has the ability to disrupt the West, and some young players on the team have also received recognition and praise from some professional fans.

Marc Gasol can now stand alone, and Zach Randolph's offensive ability has reached the top level in the league.

Rudy Guy and OJ Mayo are very similar to the poor version of LeBron James and Dwyne Wade, and Mike Conley has also begun to gradually enter the role...

Such a rising youth army, even if it is not as fierce as the Portland Trail Blazers and the Oklahoma City Thunder, will give some unexpected snipers to some strong teams.

The Cleveland Cavaliers, who just won the second victory of the season, will face such an opponent. Although their winning rate is less than 50%, they still dare not underestimate it.

…………

Before he could celebrate the hard-earned two consecutive victories, the Clevelanders rushed back to their hometown the day after defeating the Orlando Magic.

They will play at home at 6:30 tonight to face the youth army Memphis Grizzlies.

This is a back-to-back game, and it is also a home and away combination. Therefore, the physical strength of the Cavaliers' generals has been tested.

Even Fang Chen himself felt a little uncomfortable because of the back and forth.

While taking the bus back to Cleveland, Fang Chen drew the attribute card.

What disappointed him a little bit was that the card character drawn this time was Paul Gasol, who is currently playing in the Los Angeles Lakers.

Although Gasol had a second team, two third teams and some other honors in his career, overall, he is at most a superstar and cannot even be considered a superstar.

Therefore, Fang Chen was not very satisfied with the card characters he drew this time.

Fang Chen wanted to use points to exchange for the opportunity to use a rebirth card. Anyway, he had won two consecutive victories before, and the current points have reached 20, while using a rebirth card or stealing a day card only requires 10 points.

But after thinking about it, Fang Chen gave up this idea.

In any case, Paul Gasol's strength is still quite good. Although he is sometimes criticized for his soft playing style, there is no doubt that Paul Gasol is definitely in the top 15 among all the current inside players.

What's more, it would be bad if the card characters drawn next were not as good as Paul Gasol.

In this case, if the Cavaliers want to win, they will test Fang Chen's tactical arrangement and his response to emergencies in the game.

Fang Chen and his group arrived in Cleveland at noon. They first returned to the Speed ​​Loan Center Arena. After having lunch at the VIP restaurant in the Arena, they rested for about two hours.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the Cavaliers went up and down to the training hall.

They have to practice the ball for one to two hours here first, and then rehearse the tactics to deal with the young army grizzlies tonight.

During the training, Fang Chen accepted interviews from some media.

When asked by reporters about Stan Van Gundy's remarks before the last game, Fang Chen smiled and said, "Before that game, Van Gundy did not know me. But I think he knows him now."

…………

At 6:30 pm, the Cavaliers and Grizzlies played as scheduled at the Speed ​​Loan Center Arena.

In this game, since both sides are teams with less influence, no TV stations in the United States broadcast live.

However, in the country, Xinlang NBA temporarily broadcasted this game.

As Fang Chen led the Cavaliers, a weak team, gradually came out of the low tide, more and more fans began to pay attention to the team. In the basketball sections of various domestic websites, countless posts and comments about Fang Chen and the Cavaliers were all over the place.

It can be said that a sensation in the basketball world is being pushed from Fang Chen to the country and even the entire world.

Therefore, Xinlang NBA judged the situation and temporarily broadcast the game between the Cavaliers and the Grizzlies.

The host of this game is still Ke Fan, while the commentator changed from Su Kuan to Ma Jian.

"Dear netizens, this game is about to begin. Valejo and Gasol Jr. have come to the middle circle to prepare to jump the ball."

As soon as Ke Fan finished speaking, the video screen turned to the Quick Loan Center Arena.

At this time, Valejo and Gasol both jumped up and competed for the orange basketball in the air.

"Bang", the taller little Gasol was slightly better and pushed the racket towards his teammate Mike Conley.

Conley calmed down after receiving the ball, and then took the ball and advanced towards the Cavaliers' half.

As the Grizzlies get the first chance to attack the game, the game officially kicked off!
