Xie Kai played 35 minutes in this game and made 8 of 15 shots, including 2 of 5 3-pointers and 6 free throws. He scored 24 points, 11 rebounds, 10 assists and 3 steals, a triple-double.

This is Xie Kai’s 10th triple-double in his NBA regular season career! It is not easy for an NBA player to get a triple-double, and he has only entered the league for less than 4 seasons and has already got it.

A double-digit triple-double is enough to illustrate his versatility.

The Heat's three giants contributed 82 points together, but the team's role players were inaccurate from the outside and could not give them enough help, so they were unable to continue their winning streak.

After the game, the host of ABC Radio said: "Kane led the team to victory in LeBron's way, and the 'General' returned to his peak in the second half!"

After winning this game, the Grizzlies' record reached 31 wins and 23 losses, surpassing the Denver Nuggets and ranking fifth in the Western Conference!

With 12 games left in the regular season, they must work hard to win more games, move their ranking as far forward as possible, and strive to have home court advantage in the first round of the playoffs.

In the playoffs, the role of home field advantage is self-evident. Once the tiebreaker is reached, the team with home field advantage can play the tiebreaker at home.

On April 8, the Grizzlies returned home and narrowly defeated the Mavericks, ushering in a three-game winning streak. After this game, they also completed a complete victory over the opponent in the season, killing the opponent three times and avenging last season's Western Conference Finals.

One shot of revenge.

The two teams are currently ranked 5th and 7th in the Western Conference respectively. If they want to meet in the playoffs, if the final arrangement is based on this record, it will be impossible at least in the first round. If they want to meet later, they will need to defeat the top.

possible.

On April 9, the Grizzlies concluded a day of training sessions at their own training facility in Memphis.

The training is over, Xie Kai is still practicing more.

Arenas was surprised. Although he had seen Xie Kai doing personal extra training after games or training many times, he was still surprised every time he saw this. In his opinion, this person was already

The core players in the team really work too hard.

Arenas thought about his past self, the self he saw from Xie Kai a few years ago. However, after the Wizards signed a big contract, he became a little inflated and did not behave like the inspirational person on and off the court.

By myself.

"Practice more shooting?" Arenas walked over and said.

Xie Kai smiled and said: "Yes, I practice shooting after training. I am somewhat used to doing this. If I don't practice, it will feel unnatural."

Arenas can understand the mentality of a training madman because he was such a person in the past.

"In the offseason, what kind of training method will you choose?" Arenas is curious about how Xie Kai, who has worked so hard during the season, will spend his time in the offseason when he has more time.

Xie Kai took a shot of the ball, and then recounted his offseason training arrangements and content with his big brother in detail.

The more Arenas listened, the more surprised he became. It turned out that this young man worked so hard and his training methods were so similar to his own.

"You work too hard, Kane, it's unbelievable!" Arenas sighed.

Xie Kai said: "Gilbert, I followed your training methods and conducted special training during the offseason last year!"

Arenas exclaimed in surprise: "My God, no wonder I feel so familiar when listening to your training process. It turns out that it is like this. It really surprises me!"

Xie Kai was also very excited: "Yes, parachute training, extreme training like special forces!"

Arenas seems to have seen himself in the offseason, the one who only wanted to become stronger and had no other thoughts.

Just the fact that Xie Kai imitated Arenas' training brought the two of them very close. Basketball players are sometimes very strange people. They don't necessarily hang out in nightclubs together, and they are close buddies if they hang out together.

, it is often this kind of thing that seems simple to ordinary people, but it can bring the relationship between the two parties closer.

"Would you like to come and challenge for a while?" Arenas invited.

"Okay!" Xie Kai was also very happy.

Since coming to the Grizzlies, Xie Kai has rarely played one-on-one with others. One-on-one can improve his singles ability, especially against high-level one-on-one players, which is even more effective.

The two got up and started playing one-on-one.

Arenas attacked first. He crossed his hips and dribbled the ball. He crossed over and walked to his right hand. He leaned on Xie Kai and pulled the ball behind his back. He made a jump shot - hit!

Xie Kai was not completely shaken away, and his judgment was correct, but he was unable to prevent the opponent from hitting the ball.

Arenas is already 30 years old. He no longer has the explosive power and speed he once had, but once he gets serious, he is still very threatening. After all, he is not so old that his legs and feet can't keep up.

Arenas hit 4 consecutive shots before missing his first shot!

It was Xie Kai's turn to attack.

Xie Kai held the ball, faced the opponent's body, changed his crotch to pull the ball behind his back, stepped back laterally, and shot a jump shot - hit!

In the next round, Arenas did not stick too close to the body, held the ball away, and took a tentative step before shooting a pull-up jumper - yes!

One-on-one battles between NBA players, even if No. 1 vs. No. 3, are basically confrontational situations. In a one-on-one situation, because there is no help defense or flanking attack, the offensive space in the half court is infinite.

It is very difficult to restrict an opponent who can hold the ball.

The two of them played for almost half an hour, and they were both enjoying themselves. For these two people, winning or losing was not important at all. What was important was that they learned from each other, had fun playing, and enhanced their friendship.

"Kane, I have a suggestion, do you want to hear it?" Arenas asked.

Xie Kai nodded: "I'm all ears!"

Xie Kai's humility made Arenas very satisfied. Many young people will be very proud and arrogant because of their personal performance. They may not even take the top superstars in the league in their eyes, let alone have already

A washed-up star.

Therefore, Xie Kai's humility made Arenas very satisfied. He could see that this Chinese player was not being polite, but was really humble. He is not a veteran who has seen countless people, but he is also a veteran who has been in the league for so long.

, the other party is really insincere, he can tell at a glance.

Arenas said: "You obviously have such versatile offensive skills, but I found that you were still very reserved during the game. Why don't you increase your shots?"

Xie Kai said: "I will weigh the number of shots I take based on my own feel. I don't want to mechanically control the number of shots I take in each game because of my so-called team status. To be honest, I really hate losing.
Chapter completed!
