MEMPHIS, Tennessee -- The Grizzlies have another new coach shaking up the lineup and once again Zach Randolphs number is being called. Seth Joyner Eagles Jersey .Coach David Fizdale will have the 15-year veteran Zach Randolph anchor the second unit instead of starting alongside center Marc Gasol.Randolph, who has started 820 of the 984 NBA games hes played, is on board with the move.Im going to do whatever it takes to help these young guys out and help this Grizzlies team win, Randolph said.Fizdale has decided that moving the 6-foot-9 Randolph, who turned 35 in July, to the bench this season will help the Grizzlies start games more up-tempo. JaMychal Green, 26 and entering his third year, will replace Randolph as the starter at power forward.Fizdale thought about the change over the summer after he was hired in late May to replace Dave J1oerger. With the league moving to a quicker, more athletic pace chasing Golden State, Fizdale also needed an offensive punch on the second unit making the idea of switching Randolph pretty clear.Were not going to beat teams and compete with those teams at a high level if we play slow basketball, Fizdale said. And, I just think that Marc and Zach together is not a formula for pace.The Grizzlies lumbering, slowdown, post-driven recipe anchored by Gasol and Randolph on the front line is a rarity in todays NBA. Last season, Memphis averaged 99.1 points -- one of seven teams scoring less than 100 points a game and the only playoff team under the century mark. The rest of the league averaged 102.7 points, led by Golden States 115.Randolph, who has known Fizdale since the forward was 19, is saying all the right things about the change:- He wants to help the Grizzlies win- Hes a team-first player.- He will play hard in whatever role he is given.- And he is pleased there is a clear direction from the start, not a midseason change.Its going to be better this year because I know how to prepare myself and know what to expect. I can get prepared, Randolph said.This isnt the first time a Memphis coach thought Randolph coming off the bench might better serve the team. Former coaches Lionel Hollins and Joerger both experimented with the idea with mixed results.I was just very direct with Z Bo. I was very respectful, Fizdale said. I laid out the plan on why and how he could still be extremely effective and help us win a title. I also put the goal in front of him that were going to go after the Sixth Man of the Year together.Fizdale also hopes to solve another problem by adding offensive punch to the reserves from a forward averaging 17 points and 9.4 rebounds per game over his career. Randolphs banging post play against younger players coupled with his ability to position himself for rebounds should help provide a more balanced rotation for the Grizzlies.The new coach is frank about the move, both in discussing the change publicly and in recounting his conversation with Randolph who is going into the final season of his contract.I said: `Z, I dont know if people are going to pay you to be a starter from here on out, Fizdale said. Thats not a knock on him. Father Time catches up to everyone a little bit. I said: `Lets show people that youre willing and able to come off the bench and be very effective.And, for now, Randolph seems willing to accept the challenge.He said he just wanted to try something, and hopefully, itll work. Randolph said. Im just going to go out and play my game. Seth Joyner Womens Jersey . Speaking to the Chicago Tribune at baseballs Winter Meetings in Lake Buena Vista, Florida, Boras called the former home of the Expos a "tremendous environment" for baseball.

We dont mind if they bat all day again, Cremer said, warning New Zealand that the more time they spent in the middle, the more confident Zimbabwe would be of denying them a victory. Were going to try and drag the game out for as long as possible and take time out of the game.For a man who delivered 35 overs, 26 of them in a single spell, it seems like a bold statement to make. But Cremer always knew he would have a heavy workload in an XI that cannot accommodate another seamer because it needs an extra batsman.I knew coming in to this game, we were one frontline seamer short so I knew I was going to do the bulk of the bowling anyway, Cremer said. I see myself as a bowler that will lead the attack so I knew there would be a bit of extra pressure on me. The other bowlers that weve got are a lot younger and lot more inexperienced. So I look to try and get wickets and get us into good positions.His task was made even more difficult by the absence of another bowling option and the regular wicket-keeper. Sean Williams and Regis Chakabva spent the day recovering from the flu and tonsillitis respectively and Cremer is hopeful they will be okay by Saturday. Without them, he had to bowl even more than usual and was denied two wickets by fumbles from the substitute Brian Chari, who missed a stumping and could not hold onto a catch. Had either beeen successfully completed, Kane Williamson could have been dismissed earlier. JJ Arcega-Whiteside Youth Jersey. Despite that, Cremer praised his young attack for staying upbeat after being demoralised by the batting effort on the first day. I thought the guys fought hard, They didnt run away with the game. We kept them in check. We knew it was going to be tough to get wickets because its a good batting surface so we wanted them to go at two or three runs an over and we wanted to take some wickets, which we did, he said. We are still upset we didnt score enough runs but thats the way it is.In the next two days, Zimbabwe will have the chance to make amends for the first innings when they bat for a second time, in all likelihood with a view to saving the Test. Cremer knows the surface will get more difficult but hopes their approach will be strengthened by the lessons learnt from their mistakes. Tomorrow morning it will still be for good batting but from later on in the afternoon, it will be dusty and start spinning and bouncing, so we have to start thinking about how we will play in the second innings, he said.Because we havent played enough, we are sometimes not sure what to expect and not sure how to go about it but now the guys have seen what to expect. Nothing will change in the second innings. Im sure New Zealand will still use the short ball and the seamers as much. Hopefully guys will have the right mindset to bat long. To bat all day. ' ' '
