30 teams in 30 days - Grizzlies hope and opportunity coexist

Last season, the Grizzlies started high and closed low in the regular season, and after changing coaches, they finally ended with 48 wins and 34 losses in the West.

lost to the Warriors in the first round of the playoffs. He defeated the Mavericks in the second round and took the last train of the playoffs.

in the first round against the final champion Thunder.

The first two away games were defeated.

Back to home in the third game, I almost overturned the Thunder. If it weren't for Morant's injury, the game might have lasted a little longer.

The Grizzlies also made considerable changes during the offseason.

The biggest change:

The core of the team Bain was traded to the Magic.

pitcher Kennard went to the Hawks.

Substitute center Khufu went to the Pacers.

Bain's departure had a huge impact on the Grizzlies' offensive end. In terms of signings, the arrival of Pope can fill the team's defensive problems, but his sluggish offense in the past two seasons is a hidden danger.

Jerome's arrival can strengthen the team's guard depth on the bench. He performed well with the Cavaliers last season. The

11 pick Cowwood is the hope for the team.

may make up for the team's offensive firepower after Bain's departure.

Landal's joining can strengthen the team's slightly weak center position.

renewed Aldama's contract, ensuring the stability of the center position.

Overall, the team's signings this season are still relatively targeted. The problems faced by the team

1. Health

is undoubtedly the biggest problem.

From Morant's injury history to Jackson, Eddie, and Clark's injuries at the beginning of the season. This has caused serious tightness in the team's interior. The team's problems were particularly serious in the first two months of the season. Whether the record can be kept in the competition between the devils in the West is unknown.

2. Coach

New coach Isalo did not play well last season. "Toughness and Hardening" team culture combines fast-paced offense. In particular, whether the duo of Morant and Jackson can be activated is the key to success.

3. Can new players integrate quickly?

Pope is not doing well in the Magic, but his off-ball and defense are good for the team. His performance is crucial.

Jerome is a huge variable. With the team having Pippen, what level of his performance can reach will determine whether the Grizzlies' style of being a soldier can continue.

Team features:

Everyone is a soldier. Quick attack.

Morant, Jackson, two cores, one inner and one outer. The team's offensive efficiency and number of rounds last season were the top three in the league.

If the defensive efficiency can be further improved, the Grizzlies will still be the disruptor that makes all teams have a headache.

Expected starter:

Morant, Pope, Wells, Jackson

Substitutes:

Jerome, Pippen Jr., Cowood, Clark, Williams, Landale.

Expected team record:

42 wins, Western Conference play-off interval.

They are a team that pins their hopes on the future.

If core health is fully capable of hitting the top six in the West. But the wave of injuries at the beginning of the season and Morant's uncertain health problems will restrict them from going further.
