Randolph easily scored a goal on Aldridge's head, and everyone at the scene was stunned.

What happened to the superb footsteps just now? What happened to the gentle left-hand throw?

Is this still the Zach Randolph who was rubbed on the floor by Plumley in the last game?

How did the number four advantage, which originally belonged to the Trail Blazers, run to the Grizzlies?

Randolph regained his fighting spirit. What he wanted to do most now was to play wonderful games.

He has been worrying his mother for too long, and now, it is time to make her proud.

Stotts held his chin with his right hand and looked at the court with concentration.

He thought he wouldn't be so unlucky, but it was his turn that Randolph was about to recover?

No, it's impossible. Randolph is having such a big fight with the Grizzlies now. With his personality, he can't play basketball seriously.

So, Stotts, who was head-on, ordered Lillard to continue feeding Aldridge. If the Trail Blazers want to win, they must establish a lead as soon as possible.

If you want to establish a lead as soon as possible, Aldridge must find the offensive feeling as soon as possible.

As a result, Aldridge's shot missed again under Randolph's tight defense!

"This..." Now, even Bill Walton became speechless.

Also speechless were the reporters waiting to watch the fun. They thought Randolph and Link would ruin the game. Some even said that Randolph and Link might have a quarrel on the court.

But now, these two forwards make it difficult for the Trail Blazers to move forward.

The Trail Blazers still did not score, which means the Grizzlies have a chance to further open the score.

Randolph has undoubtedly become a threat now, and Aldridge is not afraid to leave Randolph even though he is half a step away.

Therefore, Conley was able to easily break through the penalty area. Without Aldridge's assisted defense, the slow-moving Kaman had no choice but to use Conley.

Conley is also a left-handed player. After breaking through from the left, he gently strode in the air and pierced the Trail Blazers' defense line.

6-0, Link, Randolph and Conley scored a goal each. The Trail Blazers thought they had pinched soft persimmons, but they didn't know that they hit the granite.

Before the Trail Blazers' offense this time, Lillard took a look at the bench.

Stotts hesitated for a while and finally shook his head.

He gave up his plan to beat the fourth position!

In other words, in Stotts's mind, Randolph is no longer a loophole today.

The Blazers' top priority now is to narrow the gap. So they made the idea of ​​a three-pointer.

Wesley Matthews and Nicholas Batum both had three-pointers, and these two guys were very active in running out of the open space.

But unfortunately, they met two "torture kings" Link and Jimmy Butler.

Under the fierce confrontation between Link and Butler, the two wings of the Trail Blazers were unable to run out of gap for a long time.

Finally, with the help of Kaman, Batum finally got a fleeting opportunity to catch and shoot.

Batum also wants to make a comeback through this game.

Think about it, it would be such a glorious thing if Link could perform well.

This season, Batum's overall shooting percentage fell to a career-low 40.4%. The three-point shooting percentage of 32.6%, which is also the lowest value in his career.

The French wanted to find themselves all the time, but Link's big hand shattered Batum's dream.

Link appeared in time to block the gap and interfered with Batum's shooting.

Batum's shot was tilted, and Link's interference made his shooting hand shape deformed!

The defensive skills of the best defensive player last season are no joke.

But at this moment, the experienced Chris Carman stuck his seat in advance and blocked Whiteside behind him!

If Aldridge can also occupy a favorable position, the Trail Blazers can still grab offensive rebounds and compete for a second offensive opportunity.

Aldridge was about to get close to the basket, but found that he was unable to move.

Randolph has been entangled with Aldridge in advance, and the "Big Black Bears" has always had a good sense of rebounding and position at the basket.

Randolph is not tall and does not jump very well. But so far in his career, Randolph has averaged double-digit rebounds per game in 9 seasons!

This is inseparable from his excellent basket positioning skills.

With the whereabouts of rebounds, Randolph and Aldridge both compete for basketball.

But Randolph took the lead and padded the basketball with his hand, and clicked the basketball into the air again.

Taking advantage of this gap, Randolph completely stuck his position and waited for the second time that the basketball fell behind, and steadily protected the rebound!

With Randolph here, Link finally didn't have to work hard to protect the rebounds.

Although Tobias Harris is an excellent teammate and an excellent player, he is naturally not as good as Randolph in terms of defense and rebounding protection.

Seeing Randolph protecting the rebound with his superb skills, Link felt very comfortable instantly.

The bright future he has always been looking forward to has really come!

Randolph made a long pass from the backcourt and found Link who was almost out of the way. The ball passed very well.

It is impossible for two people who are truly in conflict to cooperate like this.

At this time, when recalling the scene where the two ignored each other and squirted trash talk to each other on the field before the game, Bill Walton said in his mind, "We are all fooled!"

Link steadily caught Randolph's long pass from the backcourt and continued to accelerate!

Batum didn't expect Link to burst out faster after receiving the ball. He was originally close to Link, but after a few steps, Link pulled two positions with him!

In the end, the Frenchman who was eager to turn over could only watch Link smash the frame with both hands.

Accompanied by Link's dunk, a rapid whistle sounded.

Terry Stotts couldn't hold back anymore, so he stopped the game.

"8-0... The Grizzlies burst out with a much stronger force than expected! Aldridge has not scored a point until now, and he seems to be completely given by Randolph..." Bill Walton said, pausing here because he really doesn't want to admit this fact.

"He seemed to be completely suppressed by Randolph."

The subsequent games proved that Bill Walton was indeed wrong, because it was not only Aldridge who was suppressed by Randolph, but the Trail Blazers who were suppressed.

Lillard was inefficient under Conley's careful defense.

Matthews was so uncomfortable that he was staring at Butler.

Batum was so defensive that he did not open for a long time.

Kaman was completely unable to gain any advantage on Whiteside.

The Grizzlies have always maintained a lead of 8 to 12 points. In the second quarter, Randolph had already captured his eighth rebound today!

After Randolph grabbed this rebound, the Grizzlies, who were leading 11 points, unexpectedly called a timeout.

This suspension, Jogel specifically called Randolph.

Randolph walked off the court, Link stood up on the bench and came to Randolph.

"Maiai must be proud of you now, Zach." Link said, spreading his arms.

"I hope so."

After two simple sentences, the two hugged each other tightly.

They couldn't continue acting anymore, and they broke out in front of all the reporters.

After Randolph grabbed this rebound, his rebound count has officially surpassed Paul Gasol and became the historical rebounding champion of the Grizzlies!

Link didn't want to be absent during this historic moment.

This is a milestone night for Landov, and it also indicates that the Grizzlies are about to enter the period of rapid advance that Link expected.

The scene of Link and Randolph hugging was played for a long time, and all the reporters waiting to watch the fun returned disappointed.

This team may be knocked down, but it will never collapse from the inside.

After the pause, Stotts sat on the bench without the passion he had at the beginning.
Chapter completed!
