ESPN writes forward-looking articles to every team every season, which is the tradition of every season. And their articles are usually highly professional and convincing.

But about the Grizzlies this forward-looking, but caused the Memphis fans great doubt. A team that reached the Western Conference finals last season made such a big change this summer and only got a C + score!?

It's unbelievable!

However, the author of the article, John Hollinger, said, "my score is absolutely objective and fair without any personal feelings. Maybe Memphis fans think that the Grizzlies' reinforcement this summer will make the Grizzlies go further, but it is likely that their changes will lead to further decline of the team. Igordala may not be suitable for Grizzlies, and Stevens may not be able to play well in the NBA. Nick Young and ezelli? They don't even have to get into a stable rotation! "

Hollinger didn't mean to regret at all, and he still insisted on his point of view. There is no doubt that this makes Memphis fans even more angry.

But no matter how angry you are, you can't go to someone's house and beat someone up. The only way to do that is to show the strength in the new season.

Nba new season's strong smoke smell, has been in Memphis.

At the same time, on the Grizzlies, the players were angry at the forward-looking article. After all, who wants to be looked down upon?

However, Stevens was glad that the players were not blinded by anger, but turned anger into strength and squandered their sweat in the training hall.

After a week of strict diet control and intensive training, most of the players have recovered their body shape.

A week later, Stevens began to arrange tactical training. People in the outside world are worried that Stevens will completely change the system of the Grizzlies, leading to a serious decline in the Grizzlies.

However, Stevens did not completely abolish Hollins' system, but added some of his own things to the original system.

First of all, Stevens didn't make much change in the starting lineup. The only change was to put igordala in the starting line-up to replace Tony Allen.

Next season, the Grizzlies will start with Conley, igordala, link and the black and white bears. There's going to be a change between the two and Darrell, depending on the position of the two.

The tactical practice went very well because Stevens didn't force people to change their playing habits.

Now, for example, igordala doesn't have to be an attacker, and he doesn't force Conley to score. Link can now concentrate on the attack, because the organization and defense are supported by him.

On the bench, the Grizzlies found that everyone had a chance. Stevens has no prejudice against anyone and is willing to let everyone play.

"Every player has his own value, so everyone has a chance to play." That's what Stevens said.

Looking down from the office window, grizzly owner Robert Pera is happy with the team's state.

"It seems that Stevens is getting along very well with everyone."

"Stevens is a good coach and he knows that the best way to win the trust of players is to make them comfortable in the game. From the effect of confrontation training, the team in the defense does not regress, the attack becomes more fluent. And, you know, Stevens is an on-the-spot conductor, very beautiful. His ATO efficiency is very high, which helps a lot in key battles. " Grizzlies general manager Chris Wallace is also very satisfied with the Grizzlies' condition, and believes that his and PELA's efforts this summer will not be in vain.

“ATO？” After listening to Wallace, PELA frowned, a little confused.

"ATO is an abbreviation for the word" after a pause. "It refers to the coach's ability to help the team achieve key points through the tactical arrangements during the pause. Stevens is a genius in this field. He developed countless excellent tactics at critical moments in his college years. Last season we lost thunder, basically is the key, several rounds did not bite, unfortunately lost. But this year, you won't see that again. "

"Is it? I hope so. By the way, is the team about to start the preseason? At that time, I'll see how that fellow named Hollinger will end up. " Young Robert Pera is laughing. He's starting to feel the joy of having an NBA team.

In mid October, NBA preseason begins. Now, the preseason is not only a match for the team to run in the lineup, but has become a sharp weapon for the League to attract money. A variety of overseas games emerge in endlessly, and the competition between NBA teams and other basketball league teams is more frequent.

But the Grizzlies obviously don't have such good treatment. Although link is popular in China, the brand value of Grizzlies is not high enough. So this year, the Grizzlies still have to play preseason in the United States.

The Grizzlies are not weak in the preseason. They will face the bulls, the jazz, the Pacers and the heat.Among them, the bulls and the heat can be the eastern overlord level team. Although there is no rose on the bull side, the foundation is still there and the strength is still strong.

Not to mention the heat, as the defending champion of last season, fans believe that whoever meets the heat will die.

As a result, the Grizzlies, who have never performed very well in the preseason, actually won four games in a row this time!

The final game 10 points victory over the heat, is to let the entire city of Memphis crazy!

"I can see that the Grizzlies have made great progress, from the individual to the whole, they have improved! Pau Gasol's defense is getting older and hotter, and he's the Grizzlies' deserved patron saint of the basket. Randolph recovered very well, four pre-season games down, three scores on 20! Link and igordala are very tacit understanding, their change defense lets grizzly's flank is indestructible, their beautiful pass lets each other be defenseless! Besides, Conley has become more sophisticated this year. He has made progress every year, and this year is no exception! "

After four games, hobby Brown spoke highly of the Grizzlies. It can be seen that Stevens has perfect control over the team. Under his leadership, everyone of Grizzlies can play their own value.

And link is not the same as the media said, in the face of LeBron James, link more and more comfortable. Although this game, James only played 15 minutes. But this still can't cover up link's light, James several times was forced by link to force the attack, this is not easy.

After winning four games, another reporter went to Hollinger and asked him if he had made a wrong prediction. This time, Hollinger said, "everyone knows that a pre-season victory is nothing. Fight the bulls. The Bulls don't have Ross. Playing jazz and Pacers, they're just honing the lineup. Against the heat, the three giants each did not play more than 15 minutes. Can Grizzlies really prove their strength when they win them? "

Meanwhile, a few days before the start of the regular season, there was another explosive trade in the league.

On October 28, the Houston Rockets sent out Kevin Martin, Jeremy lamb and future draft rights to trade last season's best sixth man James Harden, Cole Aldrich, dequin cook and laza Hayward from the thunder.

It is said that harden played poorly in the finals last season, so thunder took the opportunity to reduce the price on the contract renewal. After all, thunder is not a big team and can't pay too much. However, Hadden thought he could get a bigger contract, so he refused to renew his contract with thunder in advance.

In the end, the two sides broke up in discord.

In Haden was destined to stay for another year, thunder team general manager Presti in order to stop loss in time, had to take the initiative to trade Haden out. At the end of the day, Hadden was used to buy thunder a few players.

In this way, the Rockets finally found their dream team building core. Since Yao Ming retired, the long reconstruction of the Rockets has finally achieved initial results.

The explosion happened a few days before the start of the new season, which is very rare in the whole league history. After all, the game is about to start. Normally, no one will move the lineup.

Therefore, the thunder and the rocket this transaction, in the fans and the media have caused extremely warm discussion.

Looking at the news that Hadden joined the Rockets, link, sitting in the dressing room, shook his head helplessly. "Now, Hollinger may say that we can't even pass the first round. After all, the Rockets have risen. "

On the surface, link is laughing, but in his heart, he is cruel.

The pre-season record doesn't say anything?

OK, the Grizzlies play their first game away from Los Angeles Clippers on October 29. At that time, link believes that he and his teammates will tear off the last piece of Hollinger's veil.
