Xie Kai rarely speaks in the locker room. First of all, he was a newcomer to the team last season. Even if he is the only All-Star, it is difficult for him to say some things when there are veterans in the locker room. But this season

The situation is different. Veteran Shane Battier, who could have played this role, joined the Heat, while another core veteran, Black Bear Randolph, will be out for several weeks.

Xie Kai's words are still very effective. He is not a person who only talks but does not do anything. It's not that everyone doesn't like him talking in the locker room. On the contrary, everyone hopes that he can take on the responsibility of a leader. Competitive sports still have to talk about it.

In terms of strength, even if he is not yet 24 years old, he is already the highest-ranked and strongest player in the team in the league.

Xie Kai's words immediately aroused a response, and everyone was very cooperative. This team needs someone to step up. In fact, everyone has been expecting him to step up, and today he finally got his wish.

The game continues in the 3rd quarter.

Conley dribbled the ball over and organized the attack at the top of the arc. His return today has not been adjusted to the best condition, his touch is not good, and his body reaction is half a beat slower.

Conley cooperated with his sister-in-law, who went down to attack the frame, but was interfered by Milicic, no!

Xie Kai flew over to grab the offensive rebound and passed it to Cunningham on the right wing at a 45-degree angle!

Cunningham takes a shot from mid-range - strike!

Love collected the board and handed it to Ridnour to advance.

"This group of Memphis players are really motivated, but they really don't feel good!" Marv Albert felt a little regretful.

How much better can the Timberwolves' offense be? The Grizzlies' defense is very tight and does not give them easy outside shots. They rely on Love to work in the low post, which is inefficient and prone to mistakes.

The third quarter lasted for more than 3 minutes, and the Grizzlies led by 2 points at 47:45.

"At this point in the game, no one on either side has scored more than 50 points. The offensive efficiency is too low!" Marv Albert lamented.

"Memphis is a very interesting team. If their offense is not good, they will use excellent defense to bring down the opponent's offense and bring them to the same starting line." Jeff Van Gundy said with a smile.

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

Xie Kai used the screen and the opponent flanked him! He immediately sent the ball to Cunningham.

Cunningham shoots a shot - keep on hitting!

Love closed the board again and dribbled over from Ridnour.

The Timberwolves cooperated in the frontcourt and the ball went into the hands of Wesley Johnson.

Wesley Johnson forced his way open, but was cut off by the latter's hand!

Xie Kai counterattacked with the ball, killing the frontcourt all at once, causing Beasley's foul!

Xie Kai stepped to the free throw line!

Xie Kai made two free throws, rewriting the score to 49:45!

Here Beasley's layup was missed by my sister-in-law!

The Grizzlies made a transition, Xie Kai counterattacked with the ball and passed to Guy in the frontcourt, causing the Timberwolves to foul again!

"If your shooting percentage is not good, causing damage is a good way to increase your points!" Marv Albert said with a smile.

Gay also made two free throws, and the Grizzlies opened the point difference to 6 points!

Timberwolves time out!

"Both teams currently have their own problems. Minnesota's offense cannot open up, and their defense will become a weakness. Once Darko is pulled out, Kevin cannot protect the basket. Memphis' problem is that it lacks

After Zach, Dante's offense was unstable, and he missed many open shots today, so the opponent can decisively double-team Kane when he and Kane are cooperating on the screen." Jeff Van Gundy explained.

"But Memphis doesn't have a better choice for the No. 4 position than Dante!" Marv Albert said helplessly.

Jeff Van Gundy nodded and said: "That's true. Memphis' bench depth is one of the main factors influencing their results this season!"

Come back from the timeout and the game continues!

Love hit Cunningham in the low post and also committed a foul!

Love also made two free throws, and the point difference between the two sides returned to 4 points!

In the third quarter of the game, the two sides quickly reached the "Bonus", and the game was cut into pieces by frequent whistles.

The Grizzlies took advantage of better defense and more aggressive attack to take the lead.

Soon, the game entered a battle between the rotation lineups of both sides.

The Grizzlies' second lineup led by Tony Allen has no good offense, but it has the ability to bring the opponent's offense to the same level as its own.

As a result, after the third quarter, the Grizzlies led by 4 points at 69:65.

Xie Kai scored 12 points, 13 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals and 1 block in 3 quarters, solid blue-collar data.

In the final quarter of the game, neither side had an offensive climax. It is hard to imagine that this was a regular season game in 2012. You must know that the pace of the game has begun to speed up, and the trend of the league is also developing in the direction of fast offense. This

Such cases of slow constipation are becoming less and less frequent.

The Timberwolves are also wronged! Who doesn’t want to play against each other? Am I willing?

The Grizzlies fought through the constipation to the end and finally defeated the Timberwolves 90:84 in an away game, ushering in their third consecutive victory.

With this 3-game winning streak, the Grizzlies' winning rate has risen to 50%, and their ranking has risen to 9th in the Western Conference.

Xie Kai felt bad in this game. He only made 5 of 15 shots, including 0 of 2 3-pointers and 9 of 10 free throws. He scored 19 points, 18 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 steals and 1 block. 18 of these rebounds were his NBA

Regular season career high in a single game (previously 17).

Who would have known that in such a game, Xie Kai would no longer be the point guard, but would instead become an inside linebacker, which made people laugh and cry.

After the game, when a reporter asked why the rebounds in this game reached a new high, Xie Kai said: "I didn't feel good in this game and my condition was not good. I don't want to find reasons to say it's because of back-to-back games, or that I couldn't play well.

Okay. In order to win the game, even if you don't feel good, you can do other things to help the team, such as grabbing rebounds, such as doing more on the defensive end. Victory is the most important thing, and we are very lucky to win today.

Got it!"

Conley also accepted an interview: "I came back today, but I still feel that I haven't found the rhythm, so you can also see that my shooting was a mess today. Kane is one of the strongest guys on our team, and we hope that he can become a leader. I also

I didn't expect that he didn't play point guard, but he took Mark's job (laughing) - I lost count of how many rebounds he grabbed today, it was almost 20, right? It's crazy, I love my teammate

, this person is so cute and awesome!”

The Grizzlies used a wave of 3 consecutive victories to return to the discussion of strong teams. You must know that the victory of these 3 games has an incomplete lineup. This has made those who have always questioned whether Xie Kai is under the protection of the Black and White Bears
Chapter completed!
