Although the wins and losses in the preseason are not included in the regular season record, the starting lineup of most teams is basically the same as the starting lineup of the regular season. Everyone will not play seriously, but there is such a good running-in team.

Opportunity, most teams will not give up such an opportunity easily.

Xiao Jia's sister-in-law and Gao Yuanyuan were preparing to jump the ball near the center circle, and the Grizzlies' first preseason game started actively.

The fans at the scene dedicated their applause to this team. Everyone is looking forward to the home team's games in the new season. The long offseason is over, and the rough period with no ball to watch is over. Even if it is a preseason game, it is better than nothing.

Gotta keep an eye on it.

Gao Yuanyuan beat Xiaojia's sister-in-law with a jump ball. On the Pacers' side, Collison dribbled over.

Because it was a preseason game, the defensive intensity of both sides was not high at the beginning. Facing Gay's defense, Granger made a jump shot - and there it was!

The Pacers scored the first 2 points of the game.

Conley slowly dribbled over, and the fans at the scene immediately cheered.

Conley dribbled the ball over and passed it to Black Bear Randolph in the midfield position on the left wing.

Randolph held the ball with his back, facing Josh McRoberts, and used his body weight to push it in.

McRoberts couldn't bear it any longer and kept retreating.

Gao Yuanyuan of the Pacers came over to help defend. Randolph passed the ball to the basket and cut away in seconds. The latter succeeded in a reverse layup!

The fans of the home team at the scene screamed loudly and excitedly. Thanks to this cut without the ball, you can make a living in any team you go to.

Xie Kai also lamented that Black Bear Randolph was not as tough as he looked. He was very subtle in his game!

The two sides started with a 2:2 tie!

On the Pacers' side, Dunleavy Jr. received Collison's sudden score and fired a 3-pointer from the bottom corner - the interference was in place, no!

The little sister-in-law collected the rebound and gave it to Conley to advance.

Conley pushed forward and gave it to Xie Kai who was about to move down the right wing.

Xie Kai chased the 3-point shot - short! But he reacted very quickly, started quickly, and after grabbing the offensive rebound, he did not rush to attack, but returned the ball to Conley at the top of the key to organize the attack again.

An old fan in the stands nodded with satisfaction and said to the female companion next to him: "This Asian player is very smart when playing. He doesn't hit his head or plays recklessly. He is very calm."

The Grizzlies once again handed the ball to Randolph in the low post and asked him to eat McRoberts.

With the lesson just learned, Gao Yuanyuan no longer flanked Randolph, but in this way, Randolph easily used his tonnage and footsteps to score another 2 points under the basket!

The Grizzlies lead 4:2!

Xie Kai lamented that if there is a strong attack point inside, for a team, the offensive tactical arrangement will be much simpler. If the outside shot is not open, the ball can be handed over to this person and let him forcefully break the opponent's defensive formation. He

The previous Kings team was a team that focused on attacking from the outside. Neither Hawes nor Jason Thompson in the post were masters of back-ups.

Randolph is only 206cm tall, but weighs close to 120kg. He is a big killer in the low position. Xie Kai thinks that Randolph's height is not very tall, but his shoulder height is comparable to those of 211cm inside players. In fact, when he is standing and touching

In terms of height and defensive coverage, he is not inferior to a 7-footer.

Fortunately, the NBA not only looks at height, but also looks at wingspan, standing height, etc. Otherwise, coaches would not dare to place players like Randolph at the center position, fearing that he is not tall enough.

Xie Kai knew that when Randolph was with the Trail Blazers and played the playoffs with the Mavericks and almost completed a 0:3 comeback, he was playing center at that time.

Since this was the first official game of the season for both sides, after a long offseason, the players of both teams were still a bit rusty in their cooperation, so they played a few rounds after the start and gradually began to make mistakes.

After the two sides played for 4 minutes, the game was tied at 7. The offensive efficiency of both sides was not high. The Grizzlies' Xie Kai was a new player this season, so his teammates were trying to let him slowly integrate.

Conley slowly dribbled the ball over and passed it to Randolph in the low post.

Randolph turned his back and hit McRoberts again. When he turned around and walked to the baseline, he was attacked by a double attack. The opponent rotated quickly and was in place.

The ball was being passed around, the tactics couldn't work out, and there was not much time left to attack, so Conley passed the ball to Xie Kai.

The home team fans looked at Xie Kai with great anticipation. They wanted to see the personal offensive power of last season's most improved player.

Xie Kai held the ball and beat Dunleavy in singles, and the fans in the stands began to cheer and build momentum.

Dunleavy kept his center of gravity low and guarded against Xie Kai's breakthrough.

Xie Kai held the ball in his left hand and made a lightning-fast crotch cross, then crossed to the left, bowed to Buddha and then went to the right, completely throwing away young Dunleavy. Amid the admiration of the fans at the scene, he succeeded in an emergency stop jump shot!

Even the coach Lionel Hollins on the sidelines couldn't help but applaud. Xie Kai's singles in this round was really beautiful, completely breaking through Dunleavy's defense.

At this time, Grizzlies general manager Chris Wallace, who was watching the game in the VIP box of the arena, nodded slightly when he saw Xie Kai's performance on the court. It's not like they went to such great lengths to bring him to Memphis.

He was asked to make up the numbers, and they were not asked to act as Mayo's substitute. If they hadn't seen the unique qualities in him, they would not have traded Mayo + Henry to get him.

In the preseason, the main lineup of each NBA team will not play for too long, so Xie Kai only played 19 minutes in this game and did not even play in the final quarter, even though he made his debut with the Grizzlies.

In this game, Xie Kai played for 19 minutes and 01 seconds, making 5 of 8 shots, including 1 of 3 3-pointers, and 3 of 4 free throws. He scored 14 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists, and 1 steal. His results were quite satisfactory.

.Although it was impossible to see his full strength through the preseason games, in the first game alone, he let the fans and the team see his importance to this team.

Xie Kai can bring three main abilities to the Grizzlies: First, stable outside shooting. Xie Kai’s field goal percentage last season was 47.8%, his three-point shooting percentage was 38.8%, and he averaged 1.9 three-pointers per game.

, is a very stable outside shooter. For the Grizzlies, a team with a relatively ordinary outside offense, its importance is self-evident. When Randolph is used as a check inside, he will get more benefits in the new season.

There are many good opportunities for outside shots; the second is as another tactical starter in the backcourt. asxs. Xie Kai's two seasons with the Kings have shown everyone his ability to dominate the ball. He can lead the second lineup and can be in the starting lineup.

As a tactical shooter on the outside, he can appear as a connection point between inside and outside. His passing vision allows him to play the role of the team's organizer. Unlike Mayo who prefers the end point, he is more comprehensive and has better organizational skills.

Strong; third, he is the "game-breaker" when the team is attacking. Mayo can also score, and Conley can also score, but when facing a deadlock, their ability to solve problems is not as good as Xie Kai. With Xie Kai
Chapter completed!
