The media predicted before the game that although the Thunder would have a better record in this game, considering that the Grizzlies were playing at home and had a great away victory over the Los Angeles Lakers with a full lineup in the game that just ended.

Therefore, there are still quite a few people who believe that the Grizzlies can defeat the Thunder, whose away record is far worse than their home record.

Wearing a black suit and sunglasses today, Xie Kai entered the arena handsomely and headed to the locker room. He has been in the limelight recently and is very likely to be selected for the All-Star game this season.

Since the Grizzlies won the last game, the atmosphere within the team is very good. They are not afraid of their opponents in this game. The opponent's talent is good, but we are not bad either, not to mention that we are still playing at home.

During pre-game practice, Xie Kai and Westbrook were laughing and talking together. Everyone in the league knows that the relationship between the two is good, and it is no secret. In the NBA, many players have good relationships, such as James and Wei Shao.

I have a good relationship with De, Paul and a few others. Playing basketball is essentially a job, and sometimes the ones you have a good relationship with may not necessarily be your teammates.

In this game, the starting lineup of the Grizzlies at home is the same as the last game against the Lakers. In fact, they have always had this starting lineup this season when their personnel are fully assembled.

The Thunder's starting lineup for the away game is: Center - Nenad Krstic, Power Forward - Jeff Green, Small Forward - Kevin Durant, Shooting Guard - Thabo Sefolo

Sha, point guard - Russell Westbrook.

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

Amid the cheers of the fans at the scene, Xiaojia's sister-in-law and Kostic were preparing to jump the ball near the center circle, and the game was about to begin.

Kostic lost the jump ball to his sister-in-law, and the game officially began.

Conley dribbled the ball over and passed it to Xie Kai.

After trying to pass to Randolph in the low post, Jeff Green moved around to defend, and he immediately passed the ball to Xiao Jia's wife in the high post.

Xie Kai and his sister-in-law cooperated hand in hand, and he accelerated inward.

Sefolosha immediately pursued him.

Thanks to the little sister-in-law who passed down the line, the latter caught the ball and shot with one hand - a hit on the board!

The Grizzlies score on their first possession! Xie Kai's first assist!

The Grizzlies fans in the stands immediately burst into applause and cheers! This is a good sign! This Grizzlies team is relatively slow to heat up and often misses their first shot, but today the players seemed to be in good condition.

"There is an obvious mismatch between Zach Randolph and Jeff Green. Jeff is going forward now, but once he is broken, will Oklahoma choose to double attack?

asked Groom Albert.

Mark Jackson said: "There may be a double attack, otherwise Jeff alone will not be able to resist Zach in the low post. I think so. Zach is misplaced to hit Jeff in the low post. Jeff can pull him in the offense.

Shoot outside, you can also make cuts and jump shots without the ball. If Zach doesn't go out, he will also be out of position."

Westbrook dribbled over, used Krstic's pick-and-roll to break through, and separated Durant from the outside.

Durant then pulled out Jeff Green, who took the ball and took a step and shot from mid-range - no!

Xie Kai grabbed the rebound and dribbled the ball over himself.

"Sure enough, the Thunder team asked Jeff to play." Marv Albert said.

Mark Jackson said: "But Zach came out. Zach's defensive range is not large, it is difficult for him to defend to the 3-point line, but Jeff's 3-pointers are not accurate, and he can still interfere from the mid-range.

"

Xie Kai dribbled over, faced Sefolosha's long arms, and with the help of his sister-in-law's cover at the top of the left arc, walked to the middle, faced Kostic's change of defense, and suddenly made a smooth breakthrough with a lowered center of gravity!

Kostic is considered the fastest among centers, but Xie Kai is considered the fastest among the 2nd positions.

Kostic couldn't keep up, hugged him with his hands and let him go - foul.

The Grizzlies serve from the frontcourt.

Conley got the ball and passed it to Gay.

Gay held the ball, faced Durant, walked inside with the help of the screen, changed into a pull-up jumper and shot - there it was! He seemed to have continued the hot touch from the previous game, and hit the target on the first shot.

The Grizzlies opened the game with a 4-0 lead.

Westbrook slowly dribbled the ball over, continued to thrust at the top of the arc, and transferred the ball. The ball reached Sefolosha in the bottom corner!

Sefolosha's 3-point shot - missed!

The little sister-in-law accepted the rebound and handed it to Xie Kai to advance.

Xie Kai advances with the ball to the top of the right arc, then slows down the pace and waits for the two bears to be in position.

After the Black Bear settled into position, he saw Jeff Green passing in front of him and passed a light pass.

The ball passed Jeff Green's fingertips and accurately reached Randolph's hands.

Randolph got the ball, turned around and hit the board into the frame!

3-for-3! 6:0! The Grizzlies' offensive efficiency was extremely high after the start.

"Beautiful, the ball was passed so well! The ball leader was very natural and made Zach very comfortable receiving the ball. Kane's passing skills are really outstanding!" Marv Albert praised.

Mark Jackson added: "Jeff is still a little smaller than Zach. The two are officially the same height, but Zach has no neck. His shoulder height and wingspan are that of a 6-foot-11 big man."

level, not to mention he weighs dozens of pounds more than Jeff."

The Thunder requested a timeout! Their coach Scott Brooks was holding the tactical board, and his face looked a little ugly. Maybe in his opinion, it was better for Jeff Green to use his flexibility to interfere with Randolph's receiving the ball, and then let Kirsty

Qi's interception inside could limit the Black Bear Randolph's offense. But who would have thought that Xie Kai's lob pass would be so deadly, going straight to their sore spot.

When the Grizzlies fans in the stands saw the opponent's timeout, they immediately burst into applause. The home team was in good shape after the start. The offense was very methodical and efficient, and the defensive end was also good. It seemed possible to win this game.

Very sexual.

Since Coach Brooks took over the talented Thunder team midway through the 2008-09 season, he led the team to the playoffs in the subsequent 2009-10 season. He is not a tactician like Popovich, nor is he a

A defensive master. His advantage is that he can allow the talented men in the team to fully display their talents. In order to prevent the starting lineup from having too many talented men with insufficient ball rights, he made last season's No. 3 overall pick James Harden play the second place.

6 people, balancing the talent value between the starting lineup and the second lineup. Under his guidance, this Thunder team started to get on the right track, started to win, and entered the playoffs last season. This season
Chapter completed!
