Los Angeles is a super city in the United States with a large Asian population. Xie Kai is one of the overseas Chinese who immigrated here, so he is familiar with everything here.

Because it is not a Lakers game, there are many fewer celebrities in the Staples Center Arena. The focus of this game is the competition between Xie Kai and Gordon, the two No. 2 players in the same class, and the 2009 No. 1 pick Lang Bray

Griffin's dunk is also one of the highlights.

The two sides were warming up before the game. Xie Kai was no stranger to this venue. Compared with other away games, this was the most visited away game in the league. Not to mention that he had watched games here when he was a student, so this was considered a good place.

His third home court is not an exaggeration (the other is Sleep Train Arena, home of the Sacramento Kings).

There are no superstars in the Clippers' lineup, but there are several potential stocks. Last year's No. 1 pick Griffin was reimbursed for his rookie season, and this season he became the oldest rookie; third-year player Eric Gordon is

A quasi-All-Star player, averaging more than 20 points per game, he is the team's current leading scorer; Jordan, who is also in his third year, is a center with strong physical fitness. He is a diamond in stone with unlimited potential; in addition, he was just drafted this summer.

Al-Farouq Aminu, the No. 8 pick in the first round, is a tall striker with strong physical fitness and great potential. The current No. 1 pick of the team is Eli, the No. 18 pick in the first round this year.

Gram Bledsoe is only 185cm tall, but his physical fitness is so explosive that he is called the "super mini LeBron" by scouts.

In this game, the starting lineup of the Clippers at home is: center - DeAndre Jordan, power forward - Blake Griffin, small forward - Al Farouq Aminu

, shooting guard - Eric Gordon, point guard - Eric Bledsoe.

The Clippers' starting lineup is very young, even younger than the Grizzlies. The oldest in their starting lineup is actually third-year Jordan, and Jordan is not yet 23 years old...

This is completely a youth army. The goal of the team is very clear, which is to train these young people and give them opportunities to grow.

The Grizzlies' starting lineup is no different from before. This starting lineup will not change unless there are personnel injuries or major trades this season.

In the NBA, Staples and Madison Square Garden are very popular arenas. Many players who come here to play away games want to perform well in order to gain more attention and popularity.

Xie Kai's popularity is still very good. Even in away games, there are many people wearing his No. 23 jersey with the Grizzlies. Of course, there are also people wearing his No. 22 jersey with the Kings, but this version of the jersey is out of print.

The Kings will officially no longer sell this jersey.

The commentators for this game are Charles Barkley and Mark Jackson.

Griffin is the most popular young player on the Clippers. The No. 1 pick in 2009 has missed an entire season due to injuries. His explosive performance from the beginning of this season to the present is worth the wait for him.

for a year.

Chen Guixiang shouted Xie Kai's name loudly in the stands. She is her son's most loyal fan. She was wearing Xie Kai's No. 23 Grizzlies away jersey today, holding a huge poster with Xie Kai's face in her hand, and her little

Together, the sisters pulled the poster apart and kept screaming.

Xie Kai once heard his mother say: "Son, I went to Staples to watch the game to support you. I feel several years younger!"

Jordan and his sister-in-law were preparing to jump the ball near the center circle, and the game was about to begin.

Xie Kai is no stranger to Jordan and Gordon. They have competed against each other in the NCAA and they are both rookies at the same level.

When the jump ball started, Jordan's bounce speed was so amazing that he took the lead in the air before his sister-in-law could even take off, exaggeratingly grabbing the landing spot.

The little sister-in-law was also self-aware, so she decisively gave up trying to test the bullet speed with the opponent, and turned around and trotted towards the backcourt.

The Clippers got the first wave of offensive possession, and Bledsoe slowly dribbled over.

"Charles, are you going to criticize Kane Shay again in this game?" Mark Jackson said with a smile.

Barkley raised his eyebrows and said disapprovingly: "I'm not targeting him. He is indeed not the All-Star player that the outside world has praised him for!"

Mark Jackson didn't argue with him, he just smiled.

On the Clippers side, Griffin got the ball after a high pick-and-roll. Facing the black bear Randolph, he faced the frame and took a test step before forcing his way inside. Facing the concrete defense line composed of the black and white bears, he took off directly and passed the two bears.

Just dunk!!!

"Oh, God, no?" Buckley opened his mouth wide enough to swallow a big apple.

Griffin let go and the ball flew directly out of the baseline...

"Sure enough - missed!" Buckley said.

Griffin gave the fans some blood at the beginning. Although he didn't make a dunk, he still made the Grizzlies break out in a cold sweat.

Conley dribbled the ball over and organized the offense at the top of the key.

It was Gordon who failed to defend. There is no doubt that the two are facing each other today.

Gordon is only 191cm tall but weighs close to 100kg. He is a solid backcourt combo guard with a strong body. The way he defends Xie Kai is to constantly get up and use his confrontation advantage to attack the opponent.

Of course Xie Kai knew the opponent's intention. He passed the screen on the off-ball side and came out to catch the ball.

Xie Kai faced Gordon and distributed the ball to the Black Bear in the low post.

"Mark, in today's matchup between Eric and Kane, who do you like more?" Barkley asked.

Mark Jackson smiled and said: "You don't have to ask me who I think more favorably, anyway, I know you definitely think Eric more favorably!"

Barkley grinned widely and said: "Of course, Eric is better than Kane!"

The Black Bears hit Griffin hard under the basket, turned around and threw the ball but was interfered by Jordan, and the ball missed!

Aminu grabbed the backcourt rebound and passed it to Gordon to advance.

Gordon held the ball in transition. Facing Xie Kai's defense, he sprinted from the backcourt and used his body like a steel cannon to push Xie Kai for a layup - no!

But the whistle sounded - Xie Kai committed a foul!

"Look, let me tell you, Kane can't guard against Eric!" Barkley looked at Mark Jackson with his hands spread out with a "prescient" expression.

Mark Jackson did not argue with him. He believed that "facts speak louder than words." What could one round prove?

Gordon stepped to the free throw line and made two free throws, giving the team the first score.

Conley dribbled the ball over and passed it to the little sister-in-law in the high position.

Xiao Jia's sister-in-law provided support from a high position and Xie Kai moved without the ball. After the two made a fake hand-to-hand move, the former gave the ball to the latter.

Xie received the ball at the top of the arc, held the ball and walked to the left. Facing Gordon's defense, he pulled the ball from his hips and directly shot a mid-range jumper. His height and wingspan are better than his opponent's, so he has an advantage in playing high!
