Playoffs are payoff for Memphis Grizzlies' Randolph, not an All-Star spot
BY Ronald Tillery
Grizzlies practice ended Thursday in a jovial way with coaches and players
trying to bury the Harlem Globetrotters' new and highly promoted four-point
basket.
It's a 35-foot shot that only Zach Randolph swished on back-to-back attempts.
The 10-year veteran failed to earn a second consecutive All-Star appearance
later when NBA coaches left him off the list of Western Conference reserves.
But Randolph hasn't missed on much else this season.
Randolph不在全明星赛替补名单上。但是Randolph不太在乎。
Randolph admits that he looked forward to another All-Star berth, but he
clearly hasn't lost sight of what would be a bigger hit for the Grizzlies: He's
looking to connect the Grizzlies to the postseason for the first time in five
seasons.
Randolph承认他也想去全明星赛,但是他清楚他有更重要的事情:带领灰熊5年来第一次进
入季後赛。
"I'm a big part of this team, and I take a lot of responsibility for making the
playoffs," Randolph said. "I want to carry these guys on my back and give the
best I can every night. But there are a lot of great young players around me.
It's all of our responsibility."
"我是队上重要的一员,我必须要扛下更多责任以便打入季後赛,"Randolph说。"我想要带
领大家,然後每场比赛尽力。但是我身边有很多有才华的年轻球员,这是我们大家的共同
目标。"
However, Randolph must lead the way if the Griz are going to satisfy team owner
Michael Heisley's playoff guarantee.
Randolph has shattered more than 16 franchise records and was close to becoming
the first player in franchise history to earn multiple All-Star appearances
while averaging 20 points and 13.2 rebounds this season.
本季场均20分 13.2篮板的Randolph拥有16项球队纪录,而且有机会成为队史第一位达到全
明星赛出赛10+的球员。
Griz coach Lionel Hollins said Randolph's game is emblematic of what it'll take
to play games beyond April 13, the last game of the regular season. Consider
this: The Griz lead the NBA in points in the paint and rank third among teams
with winning records with 11.8 offensive rebounds per game.
教练Lionel Hollins认为Randolph的表现将影响接下来的比赛。灰熊在油漆区的得分领先
全联盟同时他们在胜利的比赛中得到11.8个进攻篮板排在联盟第三。
"That's all directly attributed to Zach's game," Hollins said. "He's a beast in
the paint. He gets on the offensive glass and gives us extra possessions. Night
in and night out, we shoot more field goals than the other team. Playing inside
is the formula for winning basketball. If you're in the half-court and you can
go inside by attacking the basket or going to the free throw line, you've got a
good chance."
The Grizzlies (26-24) are 14-7 this season when Randolph has at least 20 points
and 10 rebounds in a game. Since he joined the Griz at the start of the 2009-10
season, Randolph has put together the most games (11) of at least 30 points and
15 rebounds of any NBA player. Orlando's Dwight Howard owns the second-highest
total with nine.
在Randolph至少20分10篮板的比赛中,灰熊14胜7负。自09/10球季加入灰熊後,Randolph
是联盟中得到至少30分和15篮板最多的人(11次)。Dwight Howard第二多9次。
It's not a reach to consider Randolph an All-Star snub given his strong case
for the West's Player of the Month award. Randolph led the NBA in
double-doubles (15) and offensive rebounding (5.3) and averaged 22.4 points and
14.2 boards over 17 games in January.
对於一位西区每月最佳球员来说没有进入全明星赛替补名单说不太过去。在1月份17场比赛
中Randolph的两双场次(15)和进攻篮板(5.3)领先联盟同时有场均22.4分和14.2个篮板的表
现。
That effort coincided with the Grizzlies' winning 11 games last month, and is
the reason his teammates are confident about his on-court leadership.
"He brings it every night. He's our anchor inside along with Marc (Gasol),"
reserve guard O.J. Mayo said of Randolph, who won two Player of the Week honors
in January. "He always leads by example. He comes in and gives 120 percent and
gets his numbers. You have to respect that."
Gasol pointed out that Randolph's leadership is strengthened by the fact that
he's sacrificed like everyone else for the sake of winning.
"It happened the other night in Orlando," Gasol said. "They were yelling for
help every time he touched the ball. And he was willing to give it up. He did a
great job of finding the (open) man. He did what it took to help us win."
Griz assistant coach Damon Stoudamire played on the last team Randolph made a
playoff appearance with and said it's encouraging that he has a sense of
responsibility to get the Griz there.
"On this team, he's a focal point so he probably takes upon himself at times to
pull everybody together and get them on the same page," said Stoudamire, who
played with Randolph into the postseason with the 2002-03 Portland Trail
Blazers. "Zach needs to show leadership because they need to have someone to
follow. It can't be the blind leading the blind. I think he can get the guys to
heed the word that he's preaching."
