The search for centers in the free agent market is not going well. After all, there are very few centers that can be established in the NBA.
As the general manager of a defending champion team, Chris Wallace will not cram for the moment. He has prepared a variety of candidate lists to deal with the situation.
But the list of candidates for inside players is quite embarrassing.
Among the players registered in the NBA this season, only 22 centers have played for less than 4 years, even 30 teams are dissatisfied.
For comparison, there are 84 defenders and 69 forwards.
What the Grizzlies need most is a center who can protect the Grizzlies'' forbidden area after Gasol''s exit.
In the past, when Randolph was here, Gasol didn''t have to be both a father and a mother, so the consumption was not so big. Moreover, Randolph can occasionally take the fifth place, so Azeri''s burden is not so heavy.
He just needs to make no mistakes in the few minutes he plays, even if he''s done his job.
In the case of low demand, ezelli is completely enough.
But now that Randolph is injured and Gasol''s consumption increases, ezelli will have to shoulder more responsibility. Grizzly''s demands on him are more than "no mistakes".
And it turns out that Azeri is not ready for this.
Grizzlies didn''t want to strengthen the center in the summer, but just like now, there is no suitable target.
The other team''s main center level, to play substitute Grizzlies is too wasteful. That kind of all-purpose center, people will not let go easily. So the Grizzlies can only target centers that are still young and whose potential has not been discovered.
Jokic is one, but he can''t help even if he comes.
Chris Wallace is in a dilemma to watch as the centers in the free agent market are turning around.
If you want to sign a center, you can''t miss it. But if the signed players are not strong enough, it is equivalent to not signing.
Firemen, it is necessary to change the plight of the team immediately. If not, what''s the point of signing?
With this in mind, Chris Wallace crossed out tabbit, who was once the top Grizzlies and is now playing in the developing League.
The top of the table has returned to its hometown. After many years, it has finally realized its talent and helped the team out of its predicament... What a perfect script it is.
But Wallace knows it''s impossible. Tabbit is now playing hard in the Development League. He can''t suddenly break out after coming to the NBA.
After excluding Talbot, Wallace lost his target in an instant.
Chris Wallace felt his hair was almost gone, so finding a center is a problem for all teams.
But Wallace doesn''t have time to find it, because the NBA regular season schedule won''t wait.
After the battle with the king, the Grizzlies played several more games. Although it is not a sharp decline in the war, it does remind Wallace of the seriousness of the matter.
The Grizzlies won 95-88 against the pistons. However, Drummond grabbed a total of 22 offensive rebounds, including 9 rebounds in the front court, which is undoubtedly a humiliation to the Grizzlies'' interior line.
Wallace had to be glad that Drummond didn''t have the ability to attack independently. He had 22 rebounds, but only 6 points.
Gasol is always able to defend Drummond''s second attack after grabbing the offensive rebounds.
The Grizzlies are going to get cold if they change to a center that''s a little more reliable.
Black Mountain Center Nikolai pekovic had 18 points, 11 rebounds and a double double against Timberwolves on the 17th.
Fortunately, the Timberwolves are rebuilding the team, and Wiggins is crazy outside the three-point line, the Grizzlies won two consecutive wins.
But the Grizzlies were not so lucky when they played Raptors on the 19th. Although the Raptors did not have a strong center, the impact of Lori, Derozan and Louis Williams made Gasol get into foul trouble early.
Without Gasol''s inner protective umbrella, the three exterior lines of Raptors are more unscrupulous.
In the end, Derozan, Lori and Louis Williams scored 61 points to let the Grizzlies lose by 4 points.
In this game, raptors undoubtedly provided new ideas for other teams in the league.
You don''t have to have a strong inside line to get rid of Grizzlies. You can paralyze Gasol with an outside line, and that''s one way.
After the game, the Grizzlies still lead the league with a 10-2 record. But at the same time last year, the Grizzlies won 12 games!
At this critical moment, the San Antonio Spurs slaughtered the Timberwolves 121-92.
Among them, Duncan scored the highest 28 points, and Leonard let the Timberwolves hit more than 40%.
Spurs this one big one small two forward, proved their formidable strength.Unfortunately, the next game, the Grizzlies are in good condition of the Spurs!
After the massacre of Timberwolves, Popovich was also in a good mood when interviewed by reporters, "Tim is never old. You can see how he dealt with pekovic. As long as he wants, he can play superstar data
Popovich didn''t name him, but everyone knew that he was warning the Grizzlies.
The grizzly bear''s weak interior will be Duncan''s playground!
The next day, the topic that Grizzlies are about to lose for the first time in a year''s time has become a hot topic on social media.
Last season, the Grizzlies won 74 and didn''t know what it was like to lose again all season.
But this year, the Spurs are believed to be able to break that record.
"Leonard blocks link, Duncan hits inside. You tell me, how does grizzly win? "
"Even if Kawai fails to defend link, the Spurs have an inside advantage. I like the Spurs. They won''t lose again this time
"The Memphis Grizzlies are really falling, and their dominance is not comparable to last season. Look, this losing streak will be the beginning of their collapse. "
Popovich, who was sitting on the team bus and heading for his hotel, was in a good mood when he watched the reports on the Internet. "It''s rare that people are more optimistic about us this time."
"What do you think? We really have that big advantage? " Next to Popovich, Becky Harmon, the first full-time female assistant in NBA history, asked.
After retiring as a player this summer, Harmon immediately joined the Spurs coaching team and led the team to play a good performance in the summer league. After that, he signed a long contract with the Spurs.
And tomorrow, it will be the first time that the WNBA star will face the NBA championship.
"You know, I''ve never been an underdog, Becky. It''s stupid to belittle the enemy. I never do that. But this time we are not belittle the enemy, but really stronger than the opponent! Some time ago, the world was talking about link. Ha ha ha, watch it. After the game the day after tomorrow night, link will be forgotten
Popovich had a good laugh. He had been waiting for the fall of the Memphis Dynasty for several years.
The old man is very willing to be the last straw to crush the grizzly bear.
After updating the latest list of nba2k15 games, link found that the total rating of the Grizzlies dropped from 98 to 91...
from the team with the highest overall rating, it fell to fifth.
Although it''s just a game, I have to say that it does reflect the grizzly''s recent predicament.
The injuries of Randolph and igordala have a far-reaching impact than link expected.
After looking at the list of Grizzlies, 2K gave ezelli only 69. Duncan''s evaluation is 90...
you should know, 2k15 game, including link, has a total of five players whose ability value is above 90. Deng tou, 38, is one of them.
The league''s best player on the previous evaluation of 69 substitute center, link think about all feel headache.
No, the gap between ezelli and Duncan in reality is probably bigger than the game.
The day after tomorrow, link has to focus on the fight against Leonard and has no energy to leave to help the inside.
Think of here, link is very helpless. I just hope Gasol can last a little longer.
Just then, link''s cell phone suddenly rings. On the caller ID, it''s Chris Wallace''s name.
"Chris, good news?" Link knew that Wallace called himself for the "fireman" thing. Therefore, he opened the door and asked.
"Good news, we just signed a free agent and we have a new center. I just don''t know if he can play the role of a firefighter Wallace''s voice is very tired. He has been busy these days.
Especially with the Spurs game is about to come, Wallace is no longer able to delay, it is estimated that these days are working late.
"So, what''s the name of my new teammate?" Link asked casually, but he didn''t expect much. Good centers are as scarce as dinosaur fossils in this era, where is so easy to find.
"His name is Hassan Whiteside, and I know you don''t know him, but at least let him try. We can''t. let''s try someone else
After listening to Wallace, link slapped himself on the head.
I forgot him.
