Gay wants to compete for the ball, but it is currently disadvantageous for him. He has discovered the attitude of the management, which wants to focus on Xie Kai. If he openly challenges the team, it may indeed have some effect, but once the team

If you disagree, your situation will become more passive and embarrassing.

Fortunately, Gay has signed a large contract with a fully guaranteed maximum salary before. This can at least ensure his own interests, and the team will not really use him. Now even if he breaks up with the team, the contract

Don't give me any less money.

But if there really is a breakup, the Grizzlies are not without options. They can trade Gay out, after all, he does not have the right to veto the trade.

Gay doesn't really want to mix contracts. He is still so young and wants to enter the All-Stars and become a superstar in the future. Moreover, he also expects the next contract worth over 100 million yuan! This is why he is eager to become the core leader of the team.

main reason.

Gay has decided that he will be more "self" in the future and let the old guys in the management know who is the real core of this team!

On January 13, the Grizzlies played at home against the New York Knicks.

The Knicks' record has improved a bit since the arrival of Mustache D'Antoni. On February 22, 2011, the Knicks, the Nuggets and the Timberwolves reached a major deal involving 13 players. This number of transactions also tied the NBA

’s first record.

So far, "Melon" Anthony has joined the Knicks.

There are still a lot of fans at FedEx Arena, the home of the Grizzlies. Of course, because the recent record has been somewhat poor, it has somewhat affected the enthusiasm of fans to watch the game. This is normal. The team's record is roughly proportional to the box office.

, it is difficult to attract the attention of fans with a poor record.

The faces of the Grizzlies players are all serious, and during pre-game practice, there is much less laughter and laughter in the past. If they still lose this game at home, they will have their longest losing streak of four in the season.

The main points of interest in this game are the following: first, whether the Grizzlies can end their losing streak; second, who is the better scorer between Xie Kai and Anthony; third, whether Gay VS Anthony can win against

One of the strongest small forwards in the league has proven his strength in a direct dialogue; the fourth is Xie Kai and Jeremy Lin, whether the two yellow men have a chance to compete on the same field.

Jeremy Lin graduated from Harvard and is a Chinese-American. Strictly speaking, he and Xie Kai are different, although they both look similar in appearance and both look Chinese.

The two are the same age, and Jeremy Lin is 3 months older than Xie Kai. However, in terms of debut, Xie Kai had already entered the league in the draft in 2008, while Jeremy Lin did not finish four years of college until 2010 and entered the NBA as an undrafted player.

Alliance.

When Xie Kai met Jeremy Lin in the last game, the latter was still playing for the Warriors, but in less than half a year, he had already changed two teams.

In the NBA, there are not a few fringe players like Jeremy Lin wandering around. It's not that they don't work hard or are too weak. This league is too competitive, and sometimes teams won't give you enough opportunities to show your strength.

Let alone undrafted players, even if they are lottery picks, how many of them spend their rookie season on the bench, and then are given up by the team, and eventually leave the league.

There is nothing to sympathize with, this is competitive sports, survival of the fittest, and only the strong and fittest can take root in this league.

Jeremy Lin's current contract is partially guaranteed. If the team does not lay off him before next month, then his contract will become fully guaranteed. In this way, the contract will expire at the end of the season.

Jeremy Lin currently has no chance to play with the Knicks. He has been demoted to the Airlie Bay Seahawks of the NBDL several times before.

In the NBDL, Jeremy Lin is indeed killing everyone, but the gap between the NBDL and the NBA is like the Chinese Super League and La Liga.

No matter how you look at it, it is a certainty that the Knicks will lay off Jeremy Lin before the deadline next month. Even if they are called "silly and arrogant" by the outside world, they are not so stupid that they will not be able to play a player at all.

The players on the field stay in the formation. Could it be that they are used as "mascots"?

Jeremy Lin also came to Memphis with the team today. He was warming up with his teammates before the game started.

Thank you and go over to greet him kindly.

Jeremy Lin is a humble man and a very devout Christian, but he doesn't speak Chinese very well.

But he could understand it, because last time in Auckland, he told Xie Kai that his parents spoke in Chinese at home, and he could speak a little, but not very well.

Jeremy Lin was also very happy to see Xie Kai. Since Yao Ming retired, if we count yellow people in the entire NBA, the two of them plus the Arab League, there are only three people.

Meeting yellow people in the NBA is indeed more surprising than meeting relatives.

Xie Kai also knows Jeremy Lin's situation, and he also knows that he worked very hard during the offseason and rejected the invitation from the CBA in order to pursue his NBA dream.

Xie Kai also lamented that if he had not had the three treasures given to him by the God of Basketball, he might not have been able to enter the first round of the draft when he participated in it. He would have probably been in the second round, or even lost.

Therefore, he can understand Jeremy Lin's current mood. In the NBA, it is much more difficult for yellow people to gain a foothold than for white or black people.

But Xie Kai can't help Jeremy Lin. He can't ask the Knicks' general manager to keep Jeremy Lin, right?

Therefore, the only one who can help Jeremy Lin is himself. Of course, luck is also very important.

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

Thank you, point guard - Mike Conley.

The Grizzlies coaching staff still gave up on the idea of ​​Cunningham starting. He performed like a disaster in the starting lineup and completely became a colander.

Speights' defense is not very good, but his offense is still better than Cunningham. The most important thing is that he is not ambiguous when shooting and has a bit of a no-nonsense temperament, which is very suitable for the Grizzlies at the moment.

The starting lineup of the Knicks in the away game is: center - Tyson Chandler, power forward - Amar'e Stoudemire, small forward - Carmelo Anthony, shooting guard - Lan

Derry Fields, point guard - Iman Shumpert.

It is really difficult for Jeremy Lin to play on the current Knicks team. Even in garbage time, it seems that he is out of his turn. In their team, in addition to the injured bearded Davis, the point guard also
Chapter completed!
