Darrell Arthur lost his season, his Achilles tendon broke... Before the season started, link''s heart was heavy.
When he was a fan before, link only knew that there was a player like Darrell Arthur. As for when he lost the season, and how he would die, link didn''t know.
After all, he''s just a role player. Unlike those stars, their only idea in the NBA is to survive. They won''t get too many people''s attention. If it wasn''t for their size, Arthur would not have been known on the street. With the exception of Grizzlies fans, few people care about how the talented forward, once Kansas, is doing.
But now, after all, Arthur is link''s teammate. Last season, two people hit pick and roll after the three-point tactics, has become the Grizzlies every game "reserved program.". Arthur is easy to get along with, and link has a good relationship with him.
So now, knowing that Arthur''s Achilles tendon was broken, link was very upset.
"He''ll stick with it. He''s a tough guy." Hollins saw link staring at Arthur''s locker in a daze, and went to comfort him.
"Coach, do you think it''s possible for a player to return to his previous state after a broken Achilles tendon?"
In the face of link''s inquiry, Hollins was silent. Link shook his head, and everyone knew it.
Injuries, damned injuries.
But fortunately, Arthur has at least a chance to return to the court. At this point, he is really much luckier than upshaw.
After Arthur was injured, the Grizzlies'' lineup integrity was still very big. Last season Arthur as a space type four position, the tactical role is very obvious. He can open space, can hit three points, can make Hollins tactical arrangement more flexible.
But now, the Grizzlies are suddenly short of such a number one person, Hollins also feel very difficult.
But fortunately, the new season has not started, grizzlies still have the opportunity to strengthen. At Hollins'' suggestion, another deal was made the third day after Arthur was injured.
"The Hornets, the 76ers and the Grizzlies made a three-way deal. The Grizzlies sent Xavier Henry for the 76ers forward Maris Spitz. The 76ers got two second round picks, while the Hornets got Xavier Henry, who was reimbursed last season
The deal is like throwing two small stones into the sea, without any waves.
But for the Grizzlies, this is their final strategy before the start of the new season.
These days, link has seen too many people come and go. Henry was still training for three-point goals with link yesterday, but he left today.
This makes link fully aware of the cruelty of NBA. If he wants to survive here, he must hold his destiny in his hands.
How to pinch fate in your own hands? Play well! And to avoid injury while playing well.
It seems that next season, link has to plan his training time. Next season the competition field is dense, if returns the strength crazy Lian, only is afraid that will be counterproductive.
Grant Hill''s fall was just around the corner, and link didn''t want to go down the same old path as hill.
But when it comes to hill, link''s plan to upgrade to two levels seems to have come to an end soon...
it wasn''t until three days before the regular season that the Grizzlies finally officially confirmed their lineup for next season.
In terms of point guard, Conley and Valeriana''s Vasquez are still playing. Of course, Jordan Farmar has been added this year, but it is estimated that he will not have too many playing opportunities.
As far as point guards are concerned, Tony Allen, bondset, and Jimi Butler are good enough.
Small forward side, link and guy led, coupled with Battier, maintain last season''s number three collocation, or quite strong.
Power forwards, Randolph and Malis Spitz will take on the heavy responsibilities.
As for the center, it is still Gasol and Iran takahadadi. However, as with last season, hadadi may be difficult to enter the rotation lineup. No. 5 position above, often also have to rely on Randolph and Spitz these two power forwards to top the bag.
Generally speaking, the Grizzlies'' lineup has not changed much, and the team''s chemical reaction has not been affected too much. On the training ground, we are still tacit understanding, the speed of new aid into the team is also very fast.
But now the hardest thing for Hollins is that the Grizzlies don''t have a starting point guard!
Conley has a sprained ankle. It''s a bit serious. According to the current speculation, the team doctor estimated that he would miss at least three games!
Although three games are not many, it is still a huge blow to the Grizzlies.
Who are the Grizzlies'' opponents in the first three games of the season? Rockets, spurs and thunder! At the beginning of the season, the League arranged several "old friends" for the Grizzlies.
And grizzlies in the loss of core point guard in the case of the three teams, a careless car will roll over.
We all know how fierce the competition in the western region is. If the foundation is not laid well at the beginning, it will be very difficult to catch up with them later.Last season, the Grizzlies didn''t have any playoff pressure. They just needed to reach the top eight in the west to win. But this year, on the premise of reaching the Western Conference finals last season, the Grizzlies naturally don''t want to end up too low. Last year, except for the Los Angeles and the Los Angeles, at least the fifth must be opened.
Therefore, this year Hollins in the regular season pressure, can be much greater than last year.
Conley''s injury did not press the table in advance, and guy''s return also became a headache for Hollins.
In the eyes of the outside world, the Grizzlies welcome back a strong general, which will undoubtedly increase their strength.
But everyone knows that during guy''s injury last season, the Grizzlies actually played better! With guy, they don''t have to be fifth in the Western Conference, or in the Western Conference finals. Now that guy is back, how does Hollins plan his tactics?
Continue to take black and white bears as the core, and let guy with the highest salary be his deputy? Or go back to the system with guy at the core of the attack?
One more thing, guy and link, who''s starting?
Last season link''s performance everybody is obvious, Hollins certainly will not let him return to the bench. But it''s a bit outrageous to let guy play as a substitute.
Finally, Hollins decided to let link and guy start at the same time! As in the middle of last season, link went to position two and guy continued to play third.
But last season, the flank defense chain formed by link and Tony Allen was really very strong. It''s a pity that it was broken up like this!
Now it''s all up to guy this season. Anyway, Wallace has established that link and Randolph are the core. If guy continues to wave, he may be traded away.
In this way, Hollins came to the Houston Rockets with a set of lineups that he didn''t even know whether he had spectrum or not.
For Hollins, this Christmas is nothing but trouble.
December 25, Christmas day, is also the day when the new NBA season begins.
Today, the league has arranged five openers for long-awaited fans, but the Grizzlies are not on the list.
Five games are the heat vs. the Mavericks, the Lakers vs. the bulls, the magic vs. the thunder, the Celtics vs. the Knicks, and the Clippers vs. the warriors.
Not to mention Grizzlies, even the Spurs were not selected for the opening game this year.
In order to quickly improve the popularity of the new NBA season, stern arranged the first day of the star melee. Basically, there are big stars in all the teams participating in the game.
Teams like the Grizzlies and the spurs that have strength but are less popular with superstars are naturally not included.
The popularity of "GDP" on the Spurs side is not as popular as it was then. As for Grizzlies, no one has a particularly high position. Although link has attracted much attention, his qualifications are too shallow. Guy, though gorgeous, has always been considered a second-line star.
Although there was no game, link was not free today. He stayed for an hour to shoot the basketball. Look for the feel. Tomorrow is the first day of the regular season, and link doesn''t want to start badly.
But speaking of it, it was miserable enough to shoot a single shot in the stadium on Christmas night.
Of course, in addition to looking for a feel, link has another purpose. And this goal, just 40 minutes after practice, has been achieved.
"Grant Hill''s abilities have been superimposed in 2006-07."
With the sound of the voice, link convulsed, and everything became dull.
