: 907: Problems outside the basketball court

Barclays Center, Brooklyn, New York, January 14, 2015.
The Nets No. 4, Mason Plumley, holds the ball on the right. In front of him, it is Zach Randolph, who has recently been caught in frantic discussions in the media.
Plumlee was the 22nd rookie in 2013, and this year is only the second year of his career.
Last season, Plumley averaged only 7.4 points and 4.4 rebounds per game. Although the data has improved this season, there has been little improvement. The average of 8.7 points and 6.2 rebounds per game is not worth mentioning.
From the data, we can see that Plumley is a blue-collar insider. In the case of partnering with Brook Lopez, the big white man did mostly dirty work.
Pramley is generally not the turn of scoring things.
But today, seeing Zach Randolph, Plumley is just like seeing an ATM, his eyes shining!
"Mason can open his heart today. This may be the happiest night of his career. After all, he has two All-Stars and one-time best three-team winner Zach Randolph! No doubt, Zach Now it's completely an upgrade package for Mason."
As soon as the on-site commentary at the Barclays Center fell, Plumley suddenly started, dribbled the ball faster, and passed Randolph.
Under normal circumstances, such a breakthrough is difficult to succeed. But Randolph seemed to be stunned on the court, letting Plumley pass by his side before turning back to chase.
He is like a player with a network delay playing a basketball game. When he turns around, it's too late.
I saw Plumley, who was tall and long in arms, jumped into a dunk and pulled the basket vigorously.
Randolph was not tall at this time, and it was very difficult to remedy it after being broken.
Plumlee easily dunked and scored the 15th point of the game. He screamed from the sky and became more confident as he played.
15 points, which may be a small number for stars such as Link. But for a blue-collar player like Plumley, 15 points are a lot.
Plumley's current career high score is only 20 points, averaging less than 9 points per game. With 15 points in a single game, Plumley is really hard to come across.
"Once again, Mason Plumley defeated Zac easily. I don't know what happened to Zach. He has not performed well since his comeback. The first two games against the Pelicans and the Suns, Zach's The performance is also very bad."
"This is normal. Zach is almost 35 years old. The most improved player of the year is no longer young. Look at Zach's body, it's a miracle that he can still play basketball!"
The on-site commentator shook his head and couldn't help teasing.
One game or two games, maybe it's just an accident, and it can be said that Randolph has been alienated from the game for too long to find his state.
But for three consecutive games, it cannot be explained by chance.
Dave Georgel had to call a timeout, and Randolph walked down the court dejectedly.
Georgel patted Randolph on the shoulder without saying much. To criticize Randolph now will only put more pressure on him.
"Take a break at the end, Zach, and leave it to your teammates."
Georgel only said a word, and Randolph nodded silently.
Subsequently, Georgel replaced Tobias Harris, which restricted Plumlee.
Although Plumley sits on the advantage of height, but after all, he has no ability to score independently. Therefore, after Randolph left the field, he scored no points in the last five minutes of the game.
In the end, the Grizzlies relied on more powerful strength to beat the Nets with 11 points in the Barclays Center.
The Grizzlies won another five-game winning streak, but the team was not happy.
Randolph is a pivotal player in the Grizzlies after all, and his state affects everyone's hearts.
Randolph did not attend the press conference after the game.
He left the locker room very abnormally early and got on the team bus alone in advance.
This guy who was the most lively and active atmosphere on weekdays suddenly became cold.
At first Link thought Randolph was simply discouraged because of his poor performance, but now it is obviously not just a problem caused by poor performance.
So Link and Georgel murmured a few words.
Georgel was startled first, then nodded slightly.
So far, it can only be so.

The reporters sat expectantly in the luxurious media reception room of the Barclays Center and prepared a lot of questions related to the game.
To be precise, there are a lot of questions related to Randolph.
6 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists, 4 turnovers, and Plumley had 15 points and 11 rebounds.
Randolph's performance continued to decline. Although the Grizzlies can still win, people believe that the Grizzlies will not always be so lucky.
In the next game, the Grizzlies will face the Blazers, one of the top three in the Western Conference this season. And the head star of the Portland Trail Blazers, LaMarcus Aldridge, is exactly the number four!
If Randolph continues to do this, Aldridge will not be as simple as Pramley, with only 15 points, and the Grizzlies may not continue to win like these three games.
After waiting for a long time, the door of the media reception room was finally opened.
The scene fell silent for an instant, and Dave Georgel was the first to step into the media reception room.
Everyone stretched their heads, ready to see who the players are at the press conference today. Most importantly, see if Randolph is available.
As a result, after Georgel sat down, the press officer closed the door of the media reception room.
"Ask." Georg placed his hands on the table, leaning forward.
Reporters look at me, I look at you, with an incredible look.
Forget Randolph if he didn't come, even Link, who rarely missed the conference, didn't come! ?
what's the situation? Just came a coach? That's hairy to ask questions!
"Uh...what about your players?" a reporter stood up and asked faintly.
"I'm too tired, so I got on the bus to rest first. No way, we crossed from the west to the east coast after all." Georgel spread his hands, pretending to be calm.
"So, what do you think of Zach Randolph's performance today? After the last game, you said he would definitely recover as soon as possible. But today, he obviously still didn't find the feeling."
"I'm afraid you have to ask Zach yourself."
"What about Zach?"
"I said, he was too tired and got in the car early to rest."
"..."
The interview fell into a dead end, and a lot of questions prepared by the reporters did not come in handy.
In the end, they could only ask Georgel some painless questions, and ended in a hurry.
I think once, Dave Georgel was not very capable of dealing with the media. Usually the reporter asks, he answers honestly.
But now, Georgel has also learned how to get along with the mud.
It's hard not to remind him of Link's style of talking.
It's really dark near Mo...
At this time, Link had also changed his clothes and walked to the underground parking lot.
From a distance, he could see Randolph making calls on the bus, looking very anxious.
Speaking of which, Link found that Randolph would be exceptionally depressed when he played away.
Although his performance in the sun at home is not good, he seems to be more anxious playing away.
Link quickened his pace, stepped onto the team bus, and deliberately cleared his throat to remind Randolph that he was here.
Randolph glanced at Link, but was not in a hurry to hang up, because the call was not over yet~EbookFREE.me~ Let’s do that, mother. I will be back tomorrow, and I will have a good rest tonight. Uh, what? How am I playing tonight? Hmm...I played well, mom. We won another game. Don't worry. Hey, good night. "
Randolph tried to put on a relaxed tone when speaking on the phone, but as soon as he hung up, anxiety was written on his face again.
"Big Black Bear" spread his hands, and he knew Link had heard them all. But he was not angry, but sat on the bus seat with a sad face.
"I don't want to affect you, Link... Leave me alone, I will take care of it." Randolph waved his hand and looked out the window.
Although Link didn't know what happened to Randolph, at least he proved his guess was correct.
Randolph's problem is not just on the basketball court.
His problem seems to be related to his mother...
