The Grizzlies broke the team record and won the third place in the Western Conference, which became the most eye-catching news tonight.

Since the 2006-2007 season, the Grizzlies have entered the dark moment of team history, and have failed to enter the playoffs for four consecutive seasons. Among them, there are three consecutive seasons that have won less than 25 games.

But since Hollins joined the Grizzlies, the team has gradually gotten on track. After the Grizzlies won Link, the team soared into the sky.

The whole world is discussing the Grizzlies' incredible speed of progress, but the Grizzlies players themselves are not attentive to those records now.

On the night after taking down the Trail Blazers, all the Grizzlies took a group event and went to a very famous local barber shop in Memphis to shave their beards.

The third in the West, they finally stabilized this position. The harsh bet finally ended.

After shaved, everyone looked at me, and I looked at you, and they all burst into laughter.

Finally, this group of "homemakers" had the money to shave their beards. The average age of the Grizzlies seemed to have dropped a lot in an instant.

Link touched his smooth chin. Now, Rachel will never complain about her appearance as old as Tim Duncan.

Well, fortunately Mutombo didn't stand up and said, "I'm two years older than you."

After this game, the Grizzlies' next task in the regular season will be very relaxed. As long as the players are not injured, the regular season will be successfully concluded.

At the same time, the Grizzlies have also begun to pay attention to their opponents in the first round of the series. According to the current ranking, the Grizzlies' opponent is sixth in the West. The Mavericks, Jazz and Nuggets may all rank sixth in the West.

No matter who these three opponents meet, Hollins is confident of leading the team to win.

The Mavericks are no longer as brave as they were back then. The Jazz are mainly strong in two inside players with great offensive abilities, Al Jefferson and Paul Millsap. But the Grizzlies have black and white bears, which just happen to be able to restrain them.

Among these three teams, the most difficult one is the Nuggets led by George Carl. The Nuggets' performance has not declined but increased after losing Anthony last season, and this season has been steadily going to this day.

George Carl has built his new Nuggets into an Iron Blood Legion. His team has no stars, but everyone is a star. This season, Ty Lawson, who averages the highest average score per game, scored only 16.4 points. However, the Nuggets have as many as 7 players averaging double-digit scores!

There is no doubt that looking at the entire league, the Nuggets are unique. Even the Spurs, which have always been dominated by team offense, have only 4 players who averaged double-digit points per game this season.

If he encounters the Nuggets, Hollins will naturally not be afraid. But if he can, Hollins will certainly prefer to meet the Mavericks and the Jazz.

But these are not something the Grizzlies can control themselves.

In the remaining regular season games this season, the Grizzlies mostly focus on round rest. The main players alternate round rest, and even the main players who are going to play today will not have too much playing time.

In this way, on April 26, the Grizzlies won the Orlando Magic without Howard at home. At this point, the Grizzlies' regular season schedules were all over.

They ranked behind the Oklahoma City Thunder with 50 wins and 16 losses and the St. Anthony Spurs with 47 wins and 19 losses. With the same record of 47 wins and 19 losses, they became the top three teams in the Western Conference!

Although the Grizzlies and the Spurs have a uniform record, because the Spurs have a better record against the Grizzlies, the Spurs rank second in the West and the Grizzlies rank third. But this result is already very good.

Although after the game where the Blazers were opened, fans celebrated their best third record in the Western Conference in the history of the team. However, after the last game of the regular season, the fans still cheered deafeningly.

"This is the second consecutive year that the Memphis Grizzlies have made it to the playoffs! This time, they are playing in the playoffs with the third win in the West, and they have won the first home advantage in the team's history! I can't wait to see what they can do this year!"

Hubby Brynn clapped while talking, and the Grizzlies players hugged each other on the court.

Of course, at this time they became handsome young men.

In the 66 difficult regular season games, they worked together to survive. Although they encountered Darrell Arthur's rupture of the Achilles tendon and the bad news of Conley's ankle injury in the middle of the season, Randolph and Tony Allen also played and stopped. Rudy Gay was directly reimbursed for the shoulder season again.

But in the end, they stood here, in the top three in the west, looking up at the opponents.

The Purple and Gold Legion? Ranked under the Grizzlies! The city of aerial connections is missing by 7 wins! The defending champion Mavericks who eliminated the Grizzlies last season have 10 wins less than the Grizzlies!

Although it is a shrinking season, the Grizzlies have more wins this season than last season, which undoubtedly highlights the Grizzlies' progress to the fullest.

Hollins also hugged her assistant coach Elston Turner off the court, "We've had another great season, Elston."

"Yes, let's see how far we can go this year!"

Hollins smiled with relief. The regular season was over, but because of the shrinking season, after only one day of rest, the Grizzlies had to immediately enter the playoffs battle, and the pace was so fast that it was breathless.

When it comes to the playoffs, Hollins' good mood is instantly gone.

As the saying goes, what you are afraid of is what you are afraid of. Hollins didn't want to meet the Nuggets, but the Nuggets happened to be ranked sixth in the Western Conference and became the first opponent in the Grizzlies' playoffs.

One challenge has just ended, and the other challenge has come one after another.

※※※

Even in the last regular season game, the Denver Nuggets did not give up the opportunity to massacre their opponents.

With everyone else holding on, the Nuggets actually gave the Timberwolves a 39th loss 131 to 102 away.

After the game, Mr. George Carl accepted an interview with reporters, "Coach Carl, congratulations, the Nuggets finally stabilized the sixth ranking in the Western Conference. Are you satisfied with the team's record this season?"

"Satisfied? No one can say whether he is satisfied with this season before the playoffs ended." George Carl still didn't give the reporter a good look.

"Since you talk about the playoffs, how much trouble do you think the Nuggets' first round opponent Memphis Grizzlies will cause you? Are you confident that you will be in trouble? This season, the Grizzlies' performance is quite strong."

Facing the camera, George Carl smiled jokingly, "Memphis Grizzlies? Very strong? Hahahaha, just a bunch of soft balls, not to be afraid. My team and I will show them what real toughness means. A team with a very soft core cannot be hard no matter what."
