Chapter 510 Against the new version of F4
This is Xie Kai's 10th triple-double in his NBA regular season career. This achievement currently ranks first among all rookies in the 2008 class.
The Grizzlies currently have a record of 7 wins and 1 loss, temporarily ranking first in the Western Conference.
This was unimaginable before the start of the season. The Grizzlies would be so strong despite losing their head coach and starting small forward. You must know that this team was in the second round of the Western Conference playoffs last season.
That chaotic feeling and that image are still lingering in the minds of many fans.
This also illustrates one point, who is the cancer of the team? Is it Xie Kai who has performed at the MVP level? Is it the Black Bears who averaged a career high in rebounds per game?
it is more than words.
On November 18, the Grizzlies played back-to-back away games against the Charlotte Bobcats.
In this game, the Grizzlies' offense was not very good, but they still relied on their excellent defense to win the away game and ushered in an 8th consecutive victory.
The eight-game winning streak is the longest regular season winning streak in the Grizzlies' history, which shows how miserable this team's history is.
On November 20, the Grizzlies faced the Denver Nuggets, who were sixth in the Western Conference last season. In this game, they missed their 9th consecutive victory and were defeated by opponents who were in better shape.
The loss in this game also sounded a wake-up call for the Grizzlies, because during the winning streak, some players in the team were a little swollen, feeling that they were invincible, and they were not working as hard on the defensive end as before.
After the game, Grizzlies coach Dave Joerger said frankly that the loss in this game is worth summarizing for the team. The regular season is still very long, and no team can win 82 consecutive games.
On November 24, the league will usher in a focus showdown. The Memphis Grizzlies will sit at home and face the Los Angeles Lakers, who formed the "new version of F4" this summer.
Xie Kai VS Kobe, this kind of matchup can interest many fans without any publicity. As representatives of the new and old stars at the 2nd position, one is the second-ranked shooting guard in the history of the league, and the other is the scoring champion of the new league.
Rising stars, this kind of matchup will be one thing to watch, one less thing to watch.
Not only the matchup between Xie Kai and Kobe, but also the Black and White Bears VS World of Warcraft + Sister-in-law, the collision between the top insiders in the league, such a game is exciting to think about.
The current state of the Lakers is not good, not meeting expectations at all. With a record of 6 wins and 6 losses, they are ranked 8th in the Western Conference. Warcraft has not shown dominance in the interior, and his back has a great impact on his athletic ability.
, and the chemical reaction between him and Kobe didn't look so ideal.
The coach of the Lakers is D'Antoni, the "bouncing master" who was with the Knicks last season. This master wants to bombard him wherever he goes, but the problem is that the Lakers have old arms and legs, and they are inside the Twin Towers.
How can they win? The last time they faced the Kings, who had the worst record in the Western Conference, they lost. And this time they faced the Grizzlies, who were ranked first in the Western Conference. It seemed that it would not be easy to defeat their opponents on the road.
.
ESPN and other media have warmed up this game. The focus of the game on the homepage of the NBA official website is this game. The illustrations use the heads of Xie Kai and Kobe, which shows how much the league attaches importance to this game.
There is no doubt that this game will be broadcast live across the United States. Which of the two teams will lose two games in a row will be announced on the night of the 24th.
At the end of training on the 24th, Xie Kai accepted an interview with the media. When asked if he had surpassed Kobe, Xie Kai smiled and said: "Kobe is a historical superstar, and his historical status is too far behind me. He is already 34
He is 24 years old, and I am 24 years old. It is unfair to the veteran to compare a 24-year-old player with a 34-year-old player."
Kobe was also interviewed. He smiled and said that he liked this young man Xie Kai very much and looked forward to playing against him.
Tickets for this game are hard to come by, and the Grizzlies ticket team never imagined that tickets for a regular season game would be so tight.
But this did indeed happen. Not only that, Xie Kai's No. 22 jersey was in short supply and had been sold out, so the factory needed to step up production.
For those fans who couldn't buy tickets, some watched the game in front of the big screen outside the arena, while others went to bars and restaurants around the arena to watch the game. The popularity of the game was evident.
On the evening of the 24th, the game is about to start at FedEx Arena.
The Lakers' two-time regular season MVP Steve Nash will miss this game due to injury, which makes it more difficult for them to win with their current poor record.
During pre-game practice, Xie Kai and Kobe hugged and chatted for a while. On the other side, the Gasol brothers also talked to each other for a long time.
In this game, the starting lineup of the Grizzlies at home is the same as in previous games.
The Lakers' starting lineup for the away game is: Center - Dwight Howard, Power Forward - Pau Gasol, Small Forward - Ci Shiping, Shooting Guard - Kobe Bryant, Point Guard -
Darius Morris.
Nash was absent, and Darius Morris started in his place. Darius Morris was the 11th pick in the second round of 2011. In his rookie season, he only played 8.2 minutes per game and averaged 2.1 points, 0.7 rebounds and 0.9 assists per game.
, a proper water dispenser manager.
D'Antoni started Darius Morris not because he really wanted to cultivate this water dispenser, but because there was no one available. In this game, not only Nash was exempted from the game, but also another backup point guard Steve Blake
He is also absent. If Chris Duhon is allowed to start, the substitute will not be available. After all, with Kobe Bryant in the starting lineup, the point guard is not that important.
This game was not only broadcast live across the United States, but also broadcast live on CCTV5 in China. The host was Yu Jia, and the guest was Coach Zhang Weiping, known as "Weiping Bryant".
When it comes to Lakers broadcasts or live broadcasts, the guest is often Coach Zhang. I don’t know if this is his own request or a deliberate arrangement by the station.
"Director Zhang, this game is the focus of the recent game. Who do you think is more likely to win this game?" Yu Jia asked.
Director Zhang's mouth twitched, and then said: "It's hard to say. Both teams are very strong. If Nash doesn't play, the Lakers will be at a disadvantage in the point guard position. This game still depends on Kobe.
The Lakers are pointing at Kobe."
Yu Jia continued to ask: "Warcraft Howard only had 4 offensive opportunities in the last game. Do you think it is because he is injured or is in really bad condition?"
Director Zhang smiled and said: "Yes, he is still injured. If not, he would be the best defensive player. This is Kobe's team. No matter who comes, they need to learn to integrate. You can't let Kobe give you
