The Memphis Grizzlies didn''t finish their winning streak until January 3.
On January 3, 2015, the Grizzlies lost to the Nuggets 98-104 on the Denver plateau.
Since the Grizzlies No.2 just finished playing in Los Angeles, No.3 immediately went to Denver plateau to report, which is undoubtedly a great test for the grizzly players'' physical fitness.
So in the Pepsi Center game, the Grizzlies are exhausted.
But as the saying goes, a lean camel is bigger than a horse.
Unless that horse is really fast.
If the Grizzlies are just tired, the Nuggets, which can''t even enter the top eight in the west, will be hard to challenge the Grizzlies.
But the Nuggets did a great job in this game.
Ty Lawson made 10 of 14 shots, shooting a perfect 25 points and 11 rebounds with a high shooting rate of 71.2%.
Alvaro made 8 of 12 and scored 23 points from 66.7%.
The Grizzlies are very passive because of the explosive feeling of the two backyards. In addition to Lawson and Alfredo, the Nuggets also have four people scoring in double.
There is no doubt that this is the Nuggets in the past game can not play out of the results.
The Nuggets shot 51.9% and 46.7% of the three-point percentage in the whole game. The team that can hit this percentage on the Grizzlies this season can be counted by one hand.
Or to put it more bluntly - just this one!
In this way, the Nuggets rely on the super level of play and the Grizzlies themselves tired and cold win, the Grizzlies'' winning streak stopped at 13 consecutive wins.
However, the loss of this game did not make grizzly fans worry too much. It is just a painless regular season record, which is not enough to fear.
Although the Grizzlies are unlikely to play another 70 + game horror this year, it should be no problem to keep the West first.
The Grizzlies have won 70 games or more in a single season for two consecutive years. After the Bulls won 72, they didn''t continue their 70 win myth.
The 74 win is the ultimate thing, even under the same circumstances, it is difficult to replicate that miracle.
For the loss of this game, the outside world is quite tolerant. Almost everyone believes that with a little rest, the Grizzlies can continue to win a series of victories.
But on this point, link''s view is different from that of the public.
For the Grizzlies, winning 70 games in the regular season for three years in a row, it was not an impossible thing.
After all, from the beginning of this season, link has really reached the peak.
Although the Grizzlies left Nick Young and others, but the overall lineup change is not big.
The strength of the Grizzlies and last season, is not down but up.
But the Grizzlies can no longer play the exaggerated 70 win record this year, the reason why just entered January has lost 6 games, the main reason is because of injury!
The Grizzlies'' lineup was quite healthy in the previous two seasons with 70 wins. From the main players to the role players, there are no serious injury problems.
But this season, the Grizzlies'' lineup is hardly complete.
At the beginning of the season, Randolph and igordala knelt. Igordala has only recently returned, and Randolph is still silent.
It''s not over. Tony Allen hurt his right cornea the other day. Although "teacher Tony" will be back in the next game, if he is there, he might not have hit such a high percentage today.
Injury is the biggest obstacle to the Grizzlies.
No, after the back-to-back game with the Nuggets, the injury came back.
"What!? In this way, we don''t have inside players! " In the head coach''s office at the Federal Express stadium, Dave Joel looks at the chief team doctor, Munn, with the word "incredible" written on his face.
"I''m sorry, but I''m afraid so." Munn shook his head. "Mark and nurkic fought too hard yesterday. He said he had some discomfort with his right calf today. For the sake of safety, we have to put him on the daily watch list. "
In yesterday''s match, the match between Yusuf nurkic and Gasol was a European Derby.
Gasol is famous in Europe and all European players follow the example of the two brothers.
Nurkic, who has just joined the league, is no exception.
On the other side of Europe, this "European Derby" is quite hyped. Therefore, nurkic has been preparing for yesterday''s match.
Nurkic finally lived up to expectations, playing very actively yesterday, playing 23 minutes down 11 points and 10 rebounds double data.
Facing a young, passionate and hard-working nurkic, Gasol, who is fighting back-to-back, is a little tired.
Although he insisted on playing the whole game, and won the Grizzlies second highest, after link''s 18 points.
But yesterday''s game, Gasol felt his right calf some discomfort.Today, Gasol was added to the daily watch list after being examined by the team doctor.
It''s faster to protect before you really get hurt now than to treat it after you''re injured.
But in this way, "black and white bear" can not appear.
Randolph would have been back a few days ago, but he still felt the knee discomfort, and did not improve.
The medical team was afraid that Randolph would continue to be injured, so he was put on the daily observation list and was delayed in activation.
There''s no doubt that the Grizzlies are losing their strength.
Although the Grizzlies have already signed a security contract with Whiteside that lasts until the end of the season, even with Whiteside, the Grizzlies have barely enough inside.
Now "black and white bear" double injury stop, grizzly''s inside line reserve has become stretched.
"Damn it... We''ve had a lot of injuries this season." Joel is very helpless, if it is not because of injury, the West first where there are warriors what matter.
If it wasn''t for injuries, the warriors would not have won the longest streak of the season until now.
"I can''t help it. Zach is 34 years old after all, and Gasol will be 30 in less than 20 days. This is link''s fifth year in the Grizzlies, Dave. We''re not going to stop growing
Munn''s words made Joel more sad. Yes, the villains who made waves in the League at the beginning were already in their thirties.
Time passed quickly, but with a flick of my finger.
"But mark didn''t fall at the right time. On the 7th, we are going to meet a tough opponent. " Joel looked at the schedule and drew a red circle in the box on January 7.
"You always have a way out, don''t you?" Munn shrugged. He was only responsible for healing and planning the game, which was beyond his ability.
"It''s not that I always have a way out, it''s link who has always been able to get through it. If mark doesn''t come back on the 7th... I''m afraid link will really have to make a new attempt...
Joel rubbed his temple, which was a headache.
A few days later, on January 7, the Memphis Grizzlies will play the Atlanta Hawks away.
The hawks were only eighth in the East last season, and their 38-44 record, if placed in the west, could not even enter the top 10.
Atlanta Hawks, never considered a problem.
But this year, their current record is 26-8, which is only two more games than the Grizzlies...
the rising Eastern spurs may be more difficult to deal with than the real spurs.
