Chapter 504
"I didn't expect Kane and the second team to be so suitable!" Kevin Harlan lamented.
Steve Kerr explained: "Kane can hold the ball and off the ball, and can basically partner with most lineups. Darrell and he were teammates at the University of Kansas, and it is said that he also played with Gilbert in the summer.
We’re training together!”
The final quarter of the game started soon.
Both sides still have their own substitute lineups.
Arenas dribbled over and organized the attack at the top of the key.
Xie Kai takes the screen and moves without the ball, which affects the opponent's defense.
Arenas passes the ball to Speights in the low post!
Speights passed the hand to Ellington, and the latter thanked him from the top of the arc!
Xie Kai faced Box, accelerated instantly, changed direction while traveling, and cut in from the left side of the opponent!
Favors came over to help defend and passed the ball without looking at anyone!
Arthur on the right understood this, jumped up high, caught the ball with both hands, and slammed the ball into the basket!
77:72, the Grizzlies lead by 5 points! Thanks for the 6th assist of this game!
Kevin Harlan smiled and said: "As you said, Kane and Darrell work together very well!"
The Jazz used Kanter's position to contain him and assisted Tinsley to cut in and score a layup!
The difference between the two sides is still 3 points!
Arenas dribbles over!
Speights comes out to cover, Arenas breaks through!
The Jazz contracted and Arenas opened up from outside.
Thanks for opening the corner and scoring Ellington again!
Ellington shoots a 3-pointer—threads the needle!
80:74, the Grizzlies lead to 6 points! Thanks for the 7th assist of this game!
Here, Box's layup was blocked by the nail board!
Xie Kai counterattacked with the ball and assisted Arenas to score another 3 points!
The score difference instantly reached 9 points! The Grizzlies went completely crazy!
Kevin Harlan lamented: "The offensive explosive power of Memphis's lineup is so strong that Utah fell behind by 9 points in the blink of an eye!"
Steve Kerr agreed: "This lineup has strong outside attack power and fast transition speed. It is really effective against Utah's slow double inside line!"
Jazz timeout! Let’s have a beer together, brothers!
The general and Xie Kai collided with each other, and he had a great time in this game. Xie Kai is really a star who is willing to help his teammates, and he has good vision and can accurately find teammates who are hot.
The Jazz were a little bit fooled. Kanter hadn't even run out of the 3-point line just now, but the opponent had already hit a 3-pointer. He didn't expect the opponent's second team to be so fast. It felt like D'Antoni's "7 seconds"
"Offensive Method" appeared in Memphis.
What the hell is this?
The contrast between the Grizzlies' two lineups' offensive rhythms is so great that fans and even opponents can't imagine it. This second lineup is not the first time, but it was the defensive champion Tony who played this position before.
·Alan.
Tony Allen doesn't know how to set the pace. He is just a strong defensive player. Don't count on him when attacking. And Xie Kai's appearance is like a mage, completely feeding the warriors and archers.
The Jazz could only change to the starting lineup. Even if they didn't want to admit it, they couldn't help it. On the defensive end, they couldn't restrict the second lineup headed by Xie Kai at all.
The offense of the Grizzlies' second lineup is indeed powerful. Most of the players are offensive-minded. They can open up the space very quickly. They can shoot and make alley-oops inside. Ellington and Xie Kai on the outside are both 40% 3-pointers.
.And the general has been good at shooting throughout his career. Once the touch comes, God will ask for mercy.
The Jazz changed back to the starting lineup, but the Grizzlies still have the same offensive lineup.
The two teams couldn't guard me, and I couldn't guard you, so they started to fight each other. However, it was disadvantageous for the Jazz, who were nearly 10 points behind. They needed to chase points.
Grizzlies rookie coach Dave Joerger was really bold. He didn't replace several members of the second lineup until there were more than 5 minutes left in the final quarter.
The Black and White Bears came up, and their steady offensive and defensive output, coupled with the control of Xie Kai and Conley, kept the point difference until the end.
In the end, the Grizzlies defeated the visiting Jazz 110:99 at home, ushering in their second consecutive victory.
Xie Kai played 37 minutes and 11 seconds in this game, scoring 26 points, 10 rebounds, 9 assists, 3 steals and 1 block. He was the biggest contributor to the team's victory. Under his leadership, the Grizzlies all
Five players scored in double figures, showing their best offensive performance of the season.
Of course, the significance of this game is not just to win a regular season game, but it proves that Xie Kai’s second lineup has great potential. Although the sample size of one game is still too small, it is at least a very big one.
A good start and a very successful attempt.
The Grizzlies' home team's attempt to change was successful, which also led to former coach Lionel Hollins being pulled out and "whipped to death" again. There is no way, it's really annoying to compare people to each other. Many people in the Grizzlies team
From the fans' point of view, the second lineup, which has been weak for two seasons, might not be so weak and offensively constipated if Xie Kai was allowed to lead it.
Although it may not be possible to become a strong second lineup in the league, but if you don't try, how will you know that it will not work?
If you don't even have the courage to try, how can you talk about defeating the weak with the strong?
Dave Joerger used the victory in two games to solidify his position on the team. When you are a head coach, you still need to rely on results.
On November 8, the Grizzlies visited Milwaukee to face the Bucks away from home. With their stronger offensive and defensive strength, they easily defeated their opponents on the road and ushered in three consecutive victories.
The Grizzlies announced their official return to the league's top teams with a 3-game winning streak. Since losing the opening game, they were considered by those scumbags to be unable to enter the playoffs, and Xie Kai was also slandered as "highly paid and incompetent."
He is the epitome of bad contracts.
However, in the three consecutive victories, Xie Kai's outstanding performance made those people shut up. It was simply a large-scale true fragrance series.
Grizzlies fans still admire Xie Kai very much. You must know that Xie Kai gave up the "Rose Clause" and did not sign a super maximum salary, which also saved the team a lot of luxury tax. As a team,
, if he insists on signing a super maximum salary, he can only offer it with both hands, but in this case, there will not be so much money for signings. The boss’s money does not come from strong winds. Capitalists pay more attention to input and output. Without money,
Profitable business will not last long.
November 10th was Zhou Jing’s birthday. On the evening of the 9th, Xie Kai made a reservation at one of the best Western restaurants in Memphis, had a candlelight dinner with her, and spent a romantic night. The reason why he chose the 9th was because
It's because he has a competition on the 10th and his birthday is celebrated one day early, so it doesn't matter as long as it doesn't exceed the deadline.
