After the Grizzlies beat the Rockets today, the jersey retirement ceremony of the team's famous "Black Bear" Zack Randolph was held at home, which was also the first jersey in the history of the Grizzlies.
Before the trade came to Randolph, the Grizzlies hadn't won a playoff game. In 2011, they built a black and white male lineup, eliminating the Spurs 4-2 in the first round of the playoffs, not only taking the first playoff victory in team history, but also creating the fourth "black eight miracle" in NBA history.
In the process, Zach Randolph was instrumental in injecting soul into the Grizzlies and shaping the defensive system. Former close teammates and mentors all came to the scene to witness this sacred moment.
Randolph sat in a chair and listened to the host's touching speech, and he gradually burst into tears when he was smiling a second ago. As the land of music, Memphis also gave Randolph a record-style photo of him with his teammates.
Randolph's teammates and mentors then praised his accomplishments, and Bunch-Wells said Randolph was a gracious, caring man who had been showing his leadership and connecting the entire community. Mentor Hollins said that Randolph changed the rhythm of the Grizzlies game, from fast to slow, and Randolph also said that he was a blue collar and willing to do more, and the Grizzlies' style set the tone. Little Plus thinks Randolph is like family, impressed by his competitive spirit.
Finally, the no. 50 jersey, which debuted in the style of a record, slowly rose and officially hung above the FedEx Arena.
