11月3日，24直播网报道，近期，勒布朗·詹姆斯和史蒂夫·纳什在《Mind the Game》的最新播客访谈中，共同探讨了孟菲斯灰熊队当前的比赛战术安排。
“纳什提出疑问，对于灰熊队当前的战术有何看法？他们采取的策略是增加球员出场次数，并频繁进行人员调整，以确保每位球员在有限的比赛时间内都能发挥出全力。从理论角度分析，这种策略似乎合乎逻辑。然而，对于那些依赖长时间持球来保持比赛感觉的球员而言，这或许构成了一项新的挑战。”
The Cavaliers' star commented, "Indeed, the situation is quite delicate. Take a look at the current Grizzlies roster; they lack a player who consistently demands the ball and exhibits a high usage rate. Of course, Tai Jerrom has been performing admirably lately. I believe the coaching staff has taken a close look at the team's current lineup and realized that in a fiercely competitive Western Conference, the key to survival or maintaining a competitive edge against other teams is to maintain peak physical condition throughout the entire 48-minute game."
球队轮换频繁，持续向对手发起挑战。寄望于第四节，连绵不绝的攻势将使对手筋疲力尽。尽管在天赋上我们可能略逊一筹，但凭借速度、阵容的厚度以及比赛的激烈程度，我们有能力与之抗衡。我深知他们采取这种战术的用意。尽管我并未身处灰熊的更衣室内，我们同样不在其中，但我们对他们采取这种策略的动机有着大致的推断。
