Today, Gasol is still on the daily watch list.
His recovery rate was lower than expected, so his comeback time was pushed again and again.
Therefore, this game as the Grizzlies'' starting number five is still Hassan Whiteside, who just won 10 blocks and three doubles.
The Blazers are not all healthy either. Their starting center Robin Lopez has been out for a long time due to injury.
As a result, the Blazers are now starting position five with former all star center Chris Kaman.
Although Kaman was included in the All-Star lineup when he was in the clippers, he has suffered from serious injuries and has grown old, and now he has little strength left.
His speed and bounce had dropped so much that Whiteside couldn''t match him.
Therefore, "big white edge" easily won the basketball and opened the prelude of the war.
The last time the two sides played, link was absent, and the Blazers beat the Grizzlies.
122 to 108, which is still the biggest difference Grizzlies have experienced this season.
Although link didn''t say a word about it, he kept it in his mind.
Reciprocity is the most basic courtesy!
Link had a strong desire to attack today and played Conley hand in hand after half-time.
Nicholas Batum is on the defensive. He has scored double points in only one of the last seven games, and the controversy over him is growing.
He doesn''t want to be killed by link again.
Link''s eyes were focused, his hands tightly holding the basketball, without any flaws.
Batum nervously raised his right hand in front of link.
But links was not disturbed, he suddenly accelerated and immediately received a smooth back change of hands.
Two simple movements, link on the "French Pippen" to the left behind.
Chris Kaman came to make up for defense, but link threw before the German Center came forward.
The basketball just passed Kaman''s fingertips and fell to the basket.
Kaman gave link the first feeling is a word - slow.
Slow to make up defense, slow to fire, slow to everything.
This ball if Whiteside in the defense, link may have to eat a spicy hot pot.
Even Robin Lopez would not be that easy to deal with.
But Chris Kaman... I have to say, he''s no match for the Clippers.
Instead of spurting rubbish at the Blazers after the goal, link gave Randolph a look, as if to say, "see, fat man? That''s the way to be a champion
Randolph shook his head with a disdainful smile on his face.
The interaction between link and Randolph is naturally caught by the live camera. Their conflict seems to have been put on the table.
Trail Blazers coach Terry stoats became confident.
The Blazers have recently lost two straight losses, losing the myth of single digit losses.
Stoats is upset because the competition in the west is very fierce. The Los Angeles Clippers are on the back after their 10 game loss. If you are a little careless, you will fall out of the top three.
For the Blazers, if they want to go further in the playoffs, they have to stay in the top three.
Stotz believes the Grizzlies will probably still be the number one in the west this year. That is to say, if you fall to fourth and fifth, it is likely to meet the Grizzlies in advance in the playoffs.
Although everyone talks about beating the defending champion and breaking the Grizzlies. But in fact, no one really wants to meet Grizzlies, and the pioneers are no exception.
Therefore, keeping the top three rankings is very important for the Blazers.
Link and Randolph are not happy now, and Randolph is in bad condition. This is just a good opportunity for the pioneers to stop the decline!
With a big wave of his hand, Terry stotz signaled that the pioneers would go to Aldrich for the first attack!
Lillard understood the head coach''s gesture, so this round Lillard did not rush to play fast, but waited for Aldrich to settle down.
Aldrich quickly sat in a low position, leaned his back against Randolph, raised his arm high and began to ask for the ball.
In everyone''s expectation, Randolph''s resistance should be weak.
But Aldrich, who fought against Randolph himself, found that this was not the case. Randolph resisted fiercely, and the "big black bear" behind him kept pushing him out.
In a flash, Aldrich regained the feeling of rookie year.
Aldrich has been struggling to keep up with Randolph.
Lillard hoisted the ball into the penalty area as planned and sent it to Aldrich.
Aldrich gritted his teeth and held the position firmly, then carefully turned the face frame.
All the Blazers fans at Moda center stood up and seemed ready to celebrate the goal ahead of time.
Aldrich looked at Randolph. The look in his eyes was so familiar to him!This guy glared at his small eyes viciously. Although he had a round head and a round head, he didn''t feel like a bully at all.
Aldrich shook his head and didn''t think about it any more. He made a three threat step and directly pulled the middle shot, which is one of Aldrich''s most efficient offensive methods.
But as soon as Aldrich lifted the basketball, Randolph jumped up and scared Aldrich!
Today, Randolph''s reaction is not slow at all. His interference is very timely, no leakage!
Aldrich is 2.11 meters tall and has a high shooting point. Randolph''s official height is 2.06 meters. In fact, his bare feet look like 2.03 meters.
Randolph, by right, is hard to interfere with Aldrich. But Aldrich lost his shooting rhythm because of Randolph''s aggressive defense. The final result is that Aldrich''s shot hit the front of the basket!
"Bang!"
The clear sound of the iron strike made the fans in Moda center unexpected. What about the good crackdown on Randolph? What about the minimum 30?
How come a bad start!
"LaMarcus Aldrich missed his first shot, but it doesn''t matter. He just needs time to feel." Bill Wharton didn''t think there was anything wrong with the goal. Randolph might have been able to stop Aldrich once or twice, but he couldn''t have restricted him throughout the game.
But Aldrich on the pitch didn''t think so, because Randolph had already started to spit rubbish at him.
"Big black bear" is playing today, really!
"Boy, have you forgotten what uncle Zach taught you? On the court, always be aggressive! How can people be afraid of you if you are not murderous? "
Randolph yelled at Aldrich as if he were reprimanding his younger brother.
"Zach, wrong, wrong!" At this point, link whispered a word of warning next to Randolph.
Randolph realized that he was spraying the wrong person, so he turned to link and said, "don''t be crazy, I can score too!"
Aldrich is in a mess in the wind. What and what!? Spray people and spray wrong?
The most important thing is that you should be reminded by the people who spray it!?
What do link and Randolph think of this game, game? Pioneers are the third in the West!
Without much thought, Aldrich came back quickly. Randolph just said he was going to score, and Aldrich didn''t want that to happen.
The Grizzlies'' offensive play is not fast, is also waiting for the fourth position.
Link raised his hand to the right outside the three-point line and Randolph raised his hand in the low position for the ball.
Because link has Batum in front of him, passing is risky. So in the end, Conley chose to give the ball to Randolph.
The Blazers fans were relieved to see this. It seems that the difference will not continue to widen.
Randolph felt Aldrich''s defense and made plans quickly in his head.
At such a time, Randolph would not be soft at all.
He suddenly turned to the right as if he wanted to turn over the jump shot.
Just as Aldrich raised his center of gravity, Randolph turned again like a fat top, turned to the left, and then gently threw the basketball with his left hand, and the basketball was hollow into the net!
In the NBA''s many years of history, there are not many inside left-handed players that can be named.
Randolph is undoubtedly one of them.
In the low post, his offensive skills were once the top of the League! And because he is left-handed, Randolph''s attack will be more elusive.
Aldrich swallowed as he watched Randolph score easily.
Attack and defense, he is like a rookie, Randolph to arrange clearly!
After the goal, Randolph roared up to the sky, people thought he was venting his discontent recently.
But in fact, Randolph yelled in his heart.
"Mom, from today on, every score is dedicated to you."
Aldrich swallows, Lillard asked himself before the game, is Zac Randolph really that scary?
Now, Aldrich can answer Lillard.
Yes, that guy is very, very scary!
