The current Grizzlies team is undoubtedly a bit confusing to people, and no one can figure out why the Grizzlies' record is so good.

And looking at the Grizzlies' momentum, they may become stronger and stronger in the future.

As a new coach, Jiang Dongbing, his strength has attracted more and more attention from various teams, because everyone knows that the Grizzlies can have such earth-shaking changes, Jiang Dongbing has contributed a lot.

The day after playing against the Pistons, two players, Ou and Lewis, officially reported to the team. It just so happened that the Grizzlies were about to start a road trip.

Regarding joining the Grizzlies, Ou and Lewis were actually very happy to accept it, mainly because they had no chance to perform in their original team.

O'Brien has played in the Trail Blazers for more than two years and has never been a starter, while Lewis has not even been a substitute, let alone a starter.

Now after joining the Grizzlies, who lack insiders, the two feel that their careers may have turned around.

…

Before leaving for the away trip, Jiang Dongbing specially called the two of them to his office, preparing to have a good talk with the two players.

"Jermaine, Rashad, welcome you two to join the Grizzlies."

"The Grizzlies will definitely be a turning point in your career. I hope you can seize the opportunity!" Jiang Dongbing smiled at the two of them.

The two nodded wildly. They had just met with the Grizzlies players and got some information about Jiang Dongbing from these Grizzlies players. In particular, Jackson taught them a lot of experience in dealing with Jiang Dongbing.

The first lesson learned is never to disobey Jiang Dongbing. The two of them remembered it clearly, so sitting in front of Jiang Dongbing now, both of them were extremely well-behaved.

Now joining the Grizzlies, they know very well that Jiang Dongbing controls the life and death of their careers.

"Don't be nervous, Jermaine, you will be the team's starting four next." Jiang Dongbing said with a smile.

O'Neal's face was suddenly filled with joy. He had been looking forward to this day for so long, and he could finally be a regular starter.

In fact, after knowing that he was sold to the Grizzlies, O'Neal Jr. had anticipated the current situation. If the Grizzlies lost Raheem, wouldn't he definitely have to start at the fourth position when he went to the Grizzlies?

"Thank you, coach, I won't let you down." O'Neal said sincerely.

He is really grateful to Jiang Dongbing. If Jiang Dongbing hadn't saved him from a devil's nest like the Trail Blazers, he doesn't know when he would be able to become a starter.

Lewis on the side was a little disappointed, but he also knew that the chance of him being a second-round pick to start directly was very low. If he were the head coach of the team, he would definitely let Ou start.

"Rashad, don't be disappointed, your playing time will not be less than Jermaine's."

"Although you won't be able to start the game, I'm going to let you play as the chief substitute at positions three and four."

"We currently have only one decent center player in the Grizzlies: Brad, so sometimes Jermaine will replace the five position when Brad is off the court. You can come on and play the four position, and when Stephen is off the court, you

You can also play the third position."

"Is there any problem?!" Jiang Dongbing said slowly.

Rashad Lewis showed a happy smile on his face, there was no problem, it was absolutely no problem.

Jackson plays about thirty minutes in each game, and he has a guaranteed playing time of fifteen minutes. If he plays another ten minutes at position 4, he will have twenty-five minutes of playing time in one game.

It's no different than the first one.

If it were left to the Supersonics, let alone twenty-five minutes, it would be two and a half minutes. Lewis felt that he might not be able to get it.

"Thank you, coach!" Lewis said happily.

Jiang Dongbing shook his head: "You don't need to thank me. You all have the ability to become all-star players. What I value is your strength. If you don't perform well on the court, I will hide you."

The two of them nodded solemnly at the same time. Now that Jiang Dongbing has given the opportunity to himself, it depends on his performance next.

…

The Grizzlies will play four consecutive away games. The first three games are all played in Texas, and their opponents are naturally the top three in Texas.

The Spurs, Rockets and Mavericks, these three Texas teams, are the Grizzlies' next opponents.

Jackson is very excited because he is a Texan and his hometown is very close to San Antonio, the home of the Spurs. This time when he goes to play an away game, he may be able to see many relatives and friends from his hometown.

Under normal circumstances, the reason why Jackson joined the Spurs at the end of his career was probably because the Spurs were half a hometown team.

The Spurs' record this year is quite remarkable. They currently rank first in the Western Conference and their overall strength seems to be even better than that of the Utah Jazz.

Jiang Dongbing remembers that the championship this season is the Spurs. Jiang Dongbing is looking forward to playing against such a team.

If they can defeat the Spurs, then the Grizzlies may really be able to create a miracle in the playoffs this season.

With the disintegration of the Bulls dynasty, the teams in the Eastern Conference are not bad despite their record, but they are not as good as the Western Conference in terms of hard power. If the Grizzlies can finally defeat the Spurs and advance to the finals, then facing the New York Knicks, their opponent in the finals, who will win the championship?

The probability is quite high!

Under normal circumstances, the Spurs beat the Knicks with a record of 4:1 to win the championship, which clearly shows the strength gap between the two teams.

…

The Spurs are very strong, especially the pair of inside twin towers, which can be called the strongest inside combination in the league today. Even the Lakers, who now have O'Neal, their inside combination is facing Duncan and Admiral Robinson.

When it comes to the twin towers on the inside, it is also at a disadvantage.

Not to mention the Grizzlies now have twin towers. Brad Miller and O'Brien, who has not yet been trained, will undoubtedly not be the opponents of the Spurs' twin towers.

However, Jiang Dongbing doesn't think that the Grizzlies are necessarily no match for the Spurs. The main reason is that the Grizzlies' outside lineup is much more luxurious than the Spurs, and they have a huge advantage in this regard.

As long as the Grizzlies' outside lineup can form a crushing advantage, they have a chance to win this game.

…

Before the game started, in the Grizzlies locker room, Jackson nervously asked Jiang Dongbing if he could let some of his childhood friends into the locker room to see the world.

Jiang Dongbing naturally agreed. There were no secrets in his dressing room, so it didn't hurt to take a look.

Jackson happily led several young people into the locker room. Most of the Grizzlies are young people now, and they can understand Jackson's desire to show off.

"Coach, these are my good friends from childhood. They came to the game specifically to cheer me on this time!" Jackson said with pride.

Jiang Dongbing smiled and nodded at several people, and one of them, a young black man, attracted Jiang Dongbing's attention.

This young man looks somewhat similar to Jackson, but he is slightly shorter than Jackson. Jiang Dongbing guessed that this young man must be the George Floyd who was killed while kneeling.

"Your name is George?" Jiang Dongbing asked curiously.

Floyd looked shocked. He didn't expect that NBA coaches knew about him. Could it be that he also had a talent for playing basketball?

"Coach, do you know George?" Jackson asked in shock.

Even though he thought Jiang Dongbing was omniscient and omnipotent, it was a bit too mysterious to be able to call out the name of his childhood friend just after they met.

Jiang Dongbing smiled bitterly and shook his head, "George, I'll give you a piece of advice."
