About Zac Randolph, link knows his story very well, even if he doesn't have to look it up. After all, he is the most famous example of a prodigal son in the NBA.

In high school, he was arrested and sentenced to second-class larceny and served 26 days in the Youth Crime Center.

In May 2002, the police found that he was driving too fast. At the same time, he was also in prison for drinking and smoking.

In 2003, he was detained for three hours for illegal carrying.

He was involved in the shooting in 2004 and was accused of beating others.

In 2006, the police smelled the smell of Da MA in his car. After searching, they found two loaded hands and guns.

In 2007, he was accused of being a woman and forced him to shuttle back and forth between the court, the court and the police.

In 2009, he was arrested again for drunk driving. Surprisingly, hearing that he was only drunk driving, people seemed to think that he had restrained a lot.

After reading all these stories, people's first reaction should be how the guy's life is, not his career. It doesn't matter whether the ball is big or not. This guy's life seems to be coming to an end.

Of course, Randolph's career is as chaotic as his life.

He was in the dressing room, fighting with his teammates. Lazy in the training ground and absent from training from time to time. On the court extremely selfish, often outside the line wave throw

In the trailblazers, the whole team was in a bad mood. Even after he suddenly made a good performance in the season, the team seized the opportunity to send him away at a high price.

To the Knicks, to New York this big dye vat, Randolph is more on and off the field of trouble. The team was second from the bottom in the East, so even the New York Knicks couldn't stand Randolph and quickly traded.

Then there was the clippers, and this time he didn't make any negative news - he was sent away in less than half a year. There may be a reason why the Clippers want to take off Griffin, who overlaps with him in the draft convention, but a 20 + 10 power forward who played at that time was robbed of his position by a rookie who had not yet entered the league.

You know, in this is not the era of data blowout like today, the field average 20 + 10 is rare data. About only Duncan's level four players can get, that is, Randolph's data is the league's top interior players' data.

However, almost all teams did not hesitate to abandon him.

So, on July 22, 2009, the Memphis Grizzlies announced Zac Randolph to join the team.

At that time, journalists thought the deal was very interesting. Memphis, the city with the highest crime rate in the United States. Randolph, the league's highest crime rate player. What else can you say? It's a perfect match!

This kind of small city that can't attract the superstar family league can only obtain the semi talented star like Randolph, and can only exchange the result and attention by sacrificing the harmony of dressing room.

People are waiting to see what kind of bloodbath the fat man will go through in Memphis. Maybe he will cause more trouble and lose his freedom forever!

As a result, we all know what happened afterwards. And that's why link is so curious.

Why was Randolph, who was almost finished, born again in Memphis?

Link sat across from him and went to Randolph, ready to listen to himself.

"A lot of people say it's because I've grown up. Ha ha ha, in fact, I always feel that I have nothing to do with the word maturity. Some people say that it's because I'm heavily in debt, so I need to play well to support my family. It's also nonsense. I'm not in debt at all, and I don't have any problems with my money. Some people say it's because there's nothing to play in the countryside like Memphis. I have to play seriously. Haha, there are few places for entertainment in this place, but that's not the main reason either. "

As Randolph said, his expression became more serious, as if searching his brain for some long-standing memories.

"You know, I've been wandering around a lot of teams in the league. When I was traded to the Knicks and Clippers, I didn't even see the owner of the team. For those teams, I feel like a tool. Take it and try it. If it's easy to use, you can leave it. If you don't, you can throw it away. I'm not happy with this feeling because I think it's a shame. "

"In Memphis, I was treated differently. I remember that the day I was traded to the Grizzlies, my plane arrived in Memphis at 8:30 a.m. At that time, the whole world said I was finished, and they said I would rot in Memphis. But everything is very different from what I imagined. Grizzlies owner Mr. haysley took another flight early in the morning and arrived at the airport at the same time. Mr. Chris Wallace, general manager of the Grizzlies, met me and hugged me. It gives me a feeling that I've never had before. They really need me to come. As soon as I got off the plane, I suddenly realized that this would be a new beginning for me, and I would go through fire and water for it. "Randolph fixed his eyes on link.

"And when I walked into the team and looked at my teammates, it was more consistent. We seem to be a group of garbage abandoned by the world, and all people are eager for us to live and die in this dark corner. I thought, why don't you show it to those guys? Let's see, Memphis is not a dump! The team here is full of fighting power. So, that's why I'm playing seriously now. It's not as complicated as the media speculated. It can't be simpler. "

Randolph finished and opened his hand. At the same time, he and link's boiled chicken breast is ready. To tell you the truth, this staple food has no appetite.

After listening to Randolph's experience, link smiles. It's true that the reason this guy is serious about playing is more simple than most people think. But it's also very much in line with Randolph's way of thinking. If you respect me, I will respect you.

After listening to Randolph's story, link seems to understand Randolph's mood very well.

Before coming to the Grizzlies, who was he? Although it's not bad, it's also detested. In the Development League almost muddle along, in the rocket team also only served as a money making tool.

Only in Memphis was he treated as a real part of the team. His teammates helped him, the coach trusted him and the fans loved him. On the first day of his official signing, his teammates made a small surprise for him in the dressing room. After he killed the game, Memphis fans cheered and affirmed him.

Therefore, now link is very willing to fight for Memphis.

Unexpectedly, I quite understand this big black bear.

"You've made me more confident in the playoffs, link. If we can get into the playoffs, I believe that many teams, a lot of media that thought we were going to rot, will see the Grizzlies terrible. We're going to be a nightmare for other teams and no one wants to play with us. As the photographer just said, we are a villain. "

"Yes, there's nothing wrong with being a villain, is it?" Link nodded, in the original history, the Grizzlies can always make some bloodbath in the playoffs, but it is always one step away from the real glory.

Now, though, link has a chance to change history. Maybe the villain doesn't have to be the loser in the end.

Link is very happy to have a "garbage teammate" like Zac Randolph. Otherwise, he would not like this team which had almost no sense of existence in his memory.

So far, the Memphis Grizzlies don't have any famous players and retired players, but they can't be guaranteed. Are they?
