The Grizzlies broke the team history record and got the third place in the Western Conference, which became the most eye-catching news tonight.
Since the beginning of the 2006-2007 season, the Grizzlies have entered the darkest moments in team history, failing to make the playoffs for four consecutive seasons. Among them, there are three consecutive seasons without more than 25 wins.
But since Hollins entered the Grizzlies, the team has gradually moved on track. After the Grizzlies won Link, the team soared.
The whole world is talking about the Grizzlies’ incredible pace of progress, but the Grizzlies players themselves, now they don’t care about those records.
On the evening after taking the Blazers, all Grizzlies had a group activity and went to a very famous local barber shop in Memphis to shave their beards.
Third in the West, they finally stabilized this position. That grueling bet is finally over.
After you shaved your beard, everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and they all burst out laughing.
Finally, these "hobos" have money to shave. The average age of the Grizzlies seems to have dropped a lot in an instant.
Link touched his smooth chin. Now, Rachel shouldn't complain about how she looks like Tim Duncan anymore...
Well, fortunately, Mutombo didn't stand up and said, "I'm two years older than you."
After this game, the Grizzlies' next task in the regular season is very easy. As long as the players don't get hurt, the regular season will end successfully.
At the same time, the Grizzlies began to pay attention to their opponents in the first round of the series. According to the current ranking, the Grizzlies' opponent is sixth in the West. The Mavericks, Jazz and Nuggets may all be ranked sixth in the Western Conference.
No matter who these three opponents encounter, Hollins is confident to lead the team to victory.
The Mavericks are no longer as brave as they were, and the Jazz are mainly strong in the two offensive capabilities of Al Jefferson and Paul Millsap. But the grizzly bears have black and white bears, just to be able to restrain.
Of these three teams, the most difficult one is the Nuggets led by George Carr. After the Nuggets lost Anthony last season, their performance did not drop but rose, and this season has been steadily going all the way to the present.
George Carr built his new Nuggets into an iron-blooded corps. His team has no stars, but everyone is a star. This season, the Nuggets' highest scoring Ty Lawson scored only 16.4 points per game. But the Nuggets averaged as many as 7 players in double figures!
There is no doubt that looking at the entire league, the Nuggets are also unique. Even for the Spurs, which has always been based on team offense, only 4 players have averaged double figures per game this season.
If you run into the Nuggets, Hollins will naturally not be afraid. But if possible, Hollins would of course prefer to run into the Mavericks and Jazz.
But these are beyond the Grizzlies' control.
For the remaining regular season games of the season, the Grizzlies mostly take turns. The main players alternate rotations, even if they are the main players to play today, the playing time will not be too much.
In this way, on April 26, the Grizzlies won the Orlando Magic without Howard at home. At this point, the Grizzlies regular season schedule is all over.
They are behind the Oklahoma City Thunder (50-16) and the San Antonio Spurs (47-19). With the same record of 47 wins and 19 losses, they became the top three teams in the Western Conference!
Although the Grizzlies and Spurs have the same record, but because the Spurs have a better record against the Grizzlies, the Spurs ranked second in the West and the Grizzlies ranked third. But this result is already very good.
Although after that game against the Trail Blazers, fans celebrated their favorite third record in the Western Conference. But after the last game of the regular season, the fans on the spot still made deafening cheers.
"This is the second year in a row that the Memphis Grizzlies have entered the playoffs! This time, they played in the playoffs with the third win in the Western Conference. For the first time in team history, they won the playoffs home court advantage! I can't wait. , I want to see what they can do this year!"
Hubby Brin applauded while talking, and the Grizzlies players hugged each other on the court.
Of course, at this time, they have become handsome young men.
66 difficult regular season games, they worked together to survive. Although at the beginning of the season, he suffered from Darrell Arthur's ruptured Achilles tendon and the bad news of Conley's ankle injury. In the middle of the season, Randolph and Tony Allen also played and stopped. Rudy Gay was directly reimbursed for the shoulder season again.
But in the end, they still stood here, standing in the top three positions in the West, looking up to their opponents.
Purple Army? Ranked below the Grizzlies! The city of air pick-up? 7 wins for the Grizzlies! The defending champion Mavericks, who knocked out the Grizzlies last season, have lost a full 10 wins than the Grizzlies!
Although it is a shrinking season, the Grizzlies have won more games this season than last season, which undoubtedly highlights the Grizzlies' progress.
Hollins also hugged assistant coach Elston Turner off the court, "We had another great season, Elston."
"Yes~EbookFREE.me~Look at this year, how far we can go!"
Hollins smiled comfortingly. The regular season is over, but due to the shrinking season, after only one day off, the Grizzlies will immediately plunge into the playoffs battle, the pace is so fast that you can breathe. .
And when it comes to the playoffs, Hollins's good mood is instantly gone.
As the saying goes, what you are afraid of comes. Hollins didn't want to meet the Nuggets, and the Nuggets just ranked sixth in the Western Conference, becoming the Grizzlies' first opponent in the playoffs.
One challenge has just ended, and another challenge is coming one after another.
※※※
Even in the final game of the regular season, the Denver Nuggets did not give up the opportunity to slaughter their opponents.
With everyone else playing, the Nuggets were on the road and ruthlessly gave the Timberwolves their 39th defeat.
After the game, George Carr accepted an interview with reporters, "Coach Carl, congratulations, the Nuggets finally stabilized the sixth place in the Western Conference. Are you satisfied with the team's record this season?"
"Satisfied? Before the end of the playoffs, no one can say whether they are satisfied with this season." George Karl still refused to give reporters a good look.
"Since it comes to the playoffs, how much trouble do you think the Memphis Grizzlies, the Nuggets' opponents in the first round, will cause you? Are you confident to commit? This season, the Grizzlies have performed very well."
Facing the camera, George Carr jokingly smiled, "The Memphis Grizzlies? Quite strong? Hahahaha, a bunch of softies, not to be afraid. My team and I will show them what is really tough. . A team with a very soft core can't be tough anyway."
Once again, George Carr said badly. Before the playoffs started, deep hostility has spread over Memphis.
