In the press conference after the game, the reporter did not ask Xie Kai about his views on the game or other things, but asked about other things. One of the reporters asked him about the content of his conversation with Tracy McGrady after the game.

.

Xie Kai didn't hide it: "I asked T-mac for advice! Speaking of which, he was one of the guides for me to learn basketball when I was young. I often learned his technical moves in middle school, and this time I have the opportunity to compete with him.

, I asked him about pull-up jump shots and triple threats."

Xie Kai didn't lie, and he couldn't lie about this kind of thing, because these reporters would know the content of the conversation between the two as soon as they asked McGrady. Even if McGrady wanted to hide it, the two people's statements were inconsistent, and at least one of them must be lying.

So there's not much need.

"Kane, it is said that you already have someone you like, right?" a reporter asked.

Xie Kai didn't expect that they would ask this, and smiled: "I have always had people I like, it's normal! In China, my age is already the legal age for marriage!"

Everyone on the scene laughed.

After defeating the Pistons at home, Xie Kai did ask McGrady for advice on three-threat and pull-up jump shots. Of course, McGrady has more than just these two skills in his skill set, but when it comes to him, the most impressive thing is the pull-up.

One of the characteristics of McGrady's pull-up is that it is sudden and arbitrary. He is 203cm tall, has a wingspan of more than 215cm, and has an amazing bounce speed. Therefore, when he pulls up, few outside players can interfere with it. This is the same as KD's jump shot.

Xie Kai does not have a height of 2.03cm, so he will definitely not be able to achieve a high shooting point like Tracy McGrady. What he wants to know is some technical details of pull-up jumpers and triple threats.

McGrady was also very generous and shared some of his experiences with Xie Kai. He told Xie Kai at the time that the most important things about pull-ups are two points, one is his own offensive rhythm, and the other is the opponent's defensive position and judgment.

According to the opponent's defensive position and prediction, choosing to pull out or break through is the first step; adjusting your own offensive rhythm is the second step. There is no order of distinction between these two steps. They must be integrated together and judge the situation according to the situation.

offensive options.

Regarding the triple threat, McGrady's suggestion is to practice shooting to the point where opponents are afraid of it, and at the same time, observe the position of teammates, and release the ball in time when there is an opportunity. Triple threat only makes sense for players who are threats to shoot and pass.

Xie Kai is very grateful to Tracy McGrady for his generous advice and accepts it humbly. His current situation is that he will encounter some problems when he practices hard, and ordinary players cannot help him with these problems. The suggestions from top superstars at the same position include

At that time, we can achieve the effect of "turning stone into gold".

Xie Kai's triple threat is considered outstanding among players at the same position, but he is still not satisfied because the value of these skills in the personal ability quantification table is only "65". Looking at it this way, he is still far away from the top superstars.

distance.

Xie Kai is a player who works hard and wants to improve. He cannot tolerate flaws in the skills he must master. These flaws will hinder him from becoming a superstar in the future.

In the following daily training, Xie Kai practiced the techniques that McGrady pointed out to him over and over again. In addition, he also added practice on shooting and breakthrough layups in his awareness training.

Xie Kai is working hard to improve his skills in this two-pronged training. He will not be satisfied with the little results he has achieved so far. To put it bluntly, his current honor book is still quite shabby, with almost no valuable honors.

, and he is still on a rookie contract. If his performance is not good, it will be difficult to get a contract with a larger total amount.

On November 27, the Kings will once again be at home to face the Golden State Warriors.

The two teams had a contest at the beginning of this month, and the Grizzlies lost to their opponents on the road. However, Randolph did not play in that game, but they lost to the Fish Belly team, which ranked fourth in the league last season.

This makes this team that aims to enter the playoffs a little angry.

The Grizzlies are playing at home in this game, and the momentum is really strong at the scene. Naturally, they hope to avenge their opponents and usher in 3 consecutive victories.

The Warriors are in good shape this season and currently rank 9th in the Western Conference with a record of 7 wins and 8 losses, ahead of the Grizzlies.

In September this year, the Warriors fired Nelson, who had led the team to complete the third "Black Eight Miracle" in NBA history, and let assistant coach Keith Smart coach the team.

Although the Warriors this season are not led by Nelson, this team is still focused on offense, and the composition of the players is also biased towards offense.

Regarding the pre-match predictions for this game, most people are still optimistic that the Grizzlies will win. You must know that the Grizzlies have a very good winning rate at home this season and have defeated their opponents in the two games that just ended.

The attendance rate of FedEx Arena, the home of the Grizzlies, is still good today. The attendance rate of this venue this season has far exceeded the attendance rate of the same period last season. The popularity of the ball market has also driven the development of related industries.

Memphis is not a big city, but the changes are obvious.

In this game, the starting lineup of the Grizzlies at home is: center - Marc Gasol, power forward - Zach Randolph, small forward - Rudy Gay, shooting guard - Xie

Open, point guard - Mike Conley.

The Grizzlies' starting lineup has not changed since the lineup was put together. It is good offensively and defensively. Apart from a slower offensive pace and some problems with defense, it has few shortcomings.

The Warriors' starting lineup for the away game is: center - Andris Biedrins, power forward - Dan Gazulic, small forward - Darrell Wright, shooting guard - Monta

·Ellis, point guard - Stephen Curry.

The Warriors often played small lineups with one player and four players under Nelson, but the new head coach Keith Smart simply put up a lineup with an oversized frontcourt.

In this Warriors lineup, the two interior towers are both over 210cm tall, and Wright, who plays small forward, is 206cm tall. If it weren't for the fact that Curry and Ellis in the backcourt are both only 190cm, the average height of this lineup would be extremely scary.

Because both David Lee and Epe Udu, whom the Warriors selected with the No. 6 pick in the first round this summer, are unable to play due to injuries, the team's lineup depth will be affected to some extent.

The Chinese-American player Jeremy Lin of the Warriors has also entered the rotation in this game and will play as a substitute. The PK between him and Xie Kai is also one of the focuses of this game.

It's just that the current situation of the two is too different. Xie Kai is the Grizzlies' stable starter and future core of the backcourt, while Jeremy Lin's current contract is not fully guaranteed. If he doesn't play well, the team may lose him at any time.
