It's just that the Grizzlies lost this game, so Xie's near-triple-double in this game didn't seem so perfect.

Grizzlies fans had mixed feelings about this game. Of course they were happy because they saw Xie Kai's strength, which relieved everyone's high spirits. They were worried because they saw the team's second lineup was vulnerable and was completely defeated by their opponents.

There is simply no way to fight back. For a team that aims to hit the playoffs and have a further goal, without a good bench depth, it is likely to increase the burden on the main players and increase the risk of injuries to the players.

In this game, Arthur also scored in double figures. He got 3 assists from Xie Kai, which made him full and full. He was very happy that he performed well in the opening game. He believed that as long as he can compete with Xie Kai

Playing with multiple partners is good for yourself and the team.

After the game, Xie Kai said in an interview with reporters: "We lost the game. It's a pity that I couldn't win the first game I joined the team. I need to do better."

The reporter asked: "Your data is already very good, is there anything else you are dissatisfied with?"

Xie Kai said seriously: "We didn't win, no matter how good my data is, it's meaningless! I want to win!"

Grizzlies coach Lionel Hollins said in an interview: "Kane's debut was amazing. I told him to let him be himself and take decisive action when he has the opportunity. He is sometimes too humble.

Too selfless. The loss in this game makes us a little uncomfortable. After all, it is the opening game and it is at home. The opponent is very strong. The second team led by Jamal and Zaza defeated us. We need to cheer up for the next game.

Preparing for a game.”

The Grizzlies won 7 consecutive games in the preseason, which surprised the league, but they lost in the first game of the regular season.

So after the game, many experts and fans ridiculed the Grizzlies as a weak team. They played very well in the preseason, but looking back, it was just that.

At that time, many people predicted that this Grizzlies team, which had received a lot of credit, would still not be able to enter the playoffs in the Western Conference this season, not because of a bad opportunity, but because of a lack of strength.

The doubts from the outside world will of course reach the ears of the Grizzlies players. They are naturally unconvinced and want to use actual performance to shut these people up.

The Grizzlies' first two games of the season are indeed difficult enough. The Hawks in the first game were third in the Eastern Conference last season, while the Mavericks in this game were second in the Western Conference last season.

On October 28, the Grizzlies, who lost the opening game, will visit the American Airlines Center in Dallas.

For the Grizzlies, the Mavericks' home court is not easy to play. Last season's second place in the Western Conference was not a weak team. But if they want to win, if they lose again, they will have to lose two games in a row.

The Mavericks are a very old team in the league. Their starting five, except for Tyson Chandler, are all over 30 years old. But the abilities and experience of the veterans are there, and the competitiveness of these veterans is

Their condition has been maintained quite well, so their record is very stable.

The pre-match predictions for this game are overwhelmingly optimistic that the Mavericks will defeat the Grizzlies at home. The bad news for the Grizzlies is that although the White Bear sister-in-law will return in this game, Black Bear Randolph will not be able to return due to health issues.

Reason will be absent.

Randolph is very important to the Grizzlies. He is the core of the team's interior offense. Without him, it would not be easy to break through the Mavericks' interior led by Tyson Chandler.

Mavericks owner Mark Cuban arrived courtside early. He is a crazy basketball fan and one of the most unique owners in the NBA.

Xie Kai still appreciates Cuban's love for basketball. You must know that many NBA owners only use their teams as a tool to make money and do not really love basketball that much.

Before the game, Xie Kai pulled Arthur and said to him: "Darrell, we want to win this game. Your defensive task is very important. You have to consume Dirk and we can't let him defeat us easily!"

"Don't worry Kane, I won't let him miss easily, it's all on me!" Arthur seemed very confident. Since the start of the game, the black and white bears have been absent one after another, which gave Arthur, the substitute, a chance to start. He also wanted to

Seize this hard-won opportunity and let the team see your strength.

In this game, the starting lineup of the Mavericks at home is: center-Tyson Chandler, power forward-Dirk Nowitzki, small forward-Caron Butler, shooting guard-Jay

Jason Terry, point guard - Jason Kidd.

The Mavericks' lineup is a bit strange. They are very tall inside (Tyson Chandler and Nowitzki are both over 210cm), but they prefer the backcourt (Terry, who plays the 2nd position, is only 185cm tall).

The starting lineup of the Grizzlies in the away game is: center - Marc Gasol, power forward - Darrell Arthur, small forward - Rudy Gay, shooting guard - Xie Kai, point guard

——Mike Conley.

The commentators for this game are Marv Albert and Mark Jackson.

Tyson Chandler and his wife were preparing for a jump ball near the center circle, and the game was about to start.

"Mark, if Zach doesn't play, will Lionel let Darrell or Mark guard Dirk?" Marv Albert asked.

Mark Jackson touched his chin and said: "I think it should be Darrell. Dirk's shooting range is all over the half court. Now he is shooting farther and farther outside. Mark has to protect the basket, so he will not be allowed to face Deke."

Damn it. I think if it really comes to a critical moment, I might let him guard me."

The jump ball started. Tyson Chandler used his better wingspan and bounce speed to grab the highest point and passed the ball to Caron Butler, and the game officially began.

Jason Kidd slowly dribbled over.

Kidd is already 36 years old, but no one dares to underestimate him. His court control ability and experience are really enough to give many teams a try.

Terry was running without the ball, and Xie Kai followed him closely, not giving him an easy chance to catch the ball. Here Arthur also followed Dirk closely, as if he was going to play in a crowded place, fearing that the children would get lost.

Like a mother.

Chandler came out to cover, Kidd walked inside with the ball and gave the ball to Caron Butler on the weak side.

Caron Butler made a breakthrough after a feint, and his layup was interfered by his sister-in-law - missed!

Xie Kai grabbed the backcourt rebound and pushed forward himself.

Xie Kai held the ball to the 45-degree three-point line on the left side, and suddenly passed it to Rudy Gay, who was cutting through the middle.

Gay cuts to the basket, and before Chandler has fully returned to defense, he steals a layup - and there he is!

The Grizzlies took a 2-0 lead at the start! Xie Kai's first assist!

"That's a good pass! Tyson hasn't returned to the penalty area yet!" Marv Albert said.
Chapter completed!
