Courtney Lee's draft pick back then was higher than Xie Kai's, and he was also one of Xie Kai's main competitors before the draft.

Lee is also considered one of the "old Rockets". Last season in Houston, he averaged 11.4 points per game and shot 40.1% from 3-pointers. In fact, in the 4 seasons since he entered the league, his 3-pointers

His field goal percentage was less than 40% for only one season (this season is not over yet), so he is considered a very high-quality outside shooter.

Li and Xie Kai have similar body types, but their wingspan is shorter and their athletic ability is worse. However, he plays hard and conscientiously, and is a very good role player.

On July 20 last year, the Celtics sent Jajuan Johnson, Sean Williams, E'Twaun Moore and a 2013 second-round pick to the Rockets in a sign-and-trade deal.

Traded for shooting guard Courtney Lee.

Li's defense is not as aggressive as AB's. He still uses a more traditional defensive method. He will shoot to defend against breakthrough players, and he will shoot to defend against shooting players.

Li was still very defensive about Xie Kai. There was nothing he could do about it. This player in the same class was the league's scoring leader last season. He shot more than 40% of his 3-pointers. He might have been killed if he took a shot.

Xie Kaidou came out to catch the ball and faced Li. Arthur here came to cover.

Xie Kai walked to the other side with the help of a screen. Facing Bass's defense, he held the ball to his left hand and used his speed to break through the opponent. He reached near the 3-second zone and separated Arthur from the outside.

Unexpectedly, Arthur ran outside the 3-point line this time.

Arthur received a pass from Xie Kai and made a fake shot. However, Li, who was guarding him, didn't bother him at all. He just let you shoot, but you didn't.

Xie Kai knew that Arthur had 3-pointers, but he did shoot less in the game, so it gave the impression that he did not have a 3-point skill package.

As soon as Arthur's heart is turned upside down, labor and management will vote for you and directly take a 3-pointer.

The ball swirled in the air and finally hit the board and hit the frame!

My dear, is this a trick?

——This was almost the subconscious reaction of most people at the scene, because the person who shot the ball really looked like a blind man.

19:17, the Grizzlies took the lead! Thanks for the second assist of the game!

Mike Breen smiled and said to Jeff Van Gundy: "I think Darrell's goal was a little strange!"

Jeff Van Gundy laughed: "Darrell can shoot. Of course, he shoots very few 3-pointers."

Terry dribbled over and passed it to Lee.

Lee passed the ball to Jeff Green who was looking for the ball in the waist position.

Jeff Green was one of the "Three Young Players of the Thunder" back then, but since joining the team, he has not been vigorously trained, and he has not played his favorite position. In addition, he is a "well-rounded player, but a good player."

A "not good" type, he had everything from a technical point of view, but he didn't have a trump card and his efficiency wasn't very high, so he was traded away by the team.

After coming to the Celtics, he became a substitute, turning from a potential star back then into a role player today.

Jeff Green played against Ellington, using his height to overpower his opponent, turning over and making jump shots!

Arthur collected the rebound and gave it to the general to advance.

Xie received the ball in the frontcourt, took a tentative step with the ball, then forced a change of direction and went to his right hand, cut into the basket and then divided the arc at the top of Arthur!

Arthur continued to shoot with 3 points - and more!

Oh my God! You must know that in more than 20 games before, Arthur only hit one 3-pointer, but in this game, he hit two in the first quarter!

22:17, the Grizzlies lead to 5 points! Thanks for the third assist of the game!

"Bang - Darrell's second 3-pointer, what a terrifying hit rate!" Mike Breen exclaimed.

When He Wenwen saw that the momentum was not right, he immediately called a timeout to calm down his shock. He was thinking about whether to use chicken soup or not to say anything and use a tactical board to show off.

Arthur was so excited. He didn't expect that his three-pointer would feel so good. He actually made two consecutive three-pointers. He also knew that half of the credit for his second three-pointer was due to his old teammate Xie Kai. If he hadn't given

If you make your own ball, where will you get the chance to take advantage of the victory?

Xie Kai high-fived Arthur, and he encouraged: "Well done, Darrell, who said you can't shoot a three-pointer?"

Arthur was also very excited: "Let those people open their eyes, hahahaha..."

The Green Army fans in the stands were really in tears. They accepted being beaten to death by Xie Kai, and were killed by Arthur's 3-pointer? What the hell is this? Who did we provoke whom?

After the timeout, neither side scored again. Arthur had no chance to shoot the 3-pointer because the opponent didn't let him shoot.

So at the end of the first quarter, the Grizzlies temporarily led at 22:17.

Mike Breen laughed and said: "Why do you feel that when we play against Memphis now, we can only score less than 20 points in a single quarter? Isn't this defense too exaggerated?"

Jeff Van Gundy said: "On the one hand, good defense is good, but on the other hand, the pace is slow, there are few offensive rounds, and relatively speaking, the scores are low."

The second quarter of the game started quickly.

The Grizzlies took the lead.

The general dribbled the ball over slowly.

Xie Kaidou came out to catch the ball, and with the help of the screen, facing Bass, he played a small crossover continuously, suddenly accelerated and hit the inside, and separated Speights on the other side!

Speights hit a jump shot!

But Xie Kai grabbed the offensive rebound and forced his way up, causing Salinger to foul!

"God, is this already Kane's fifth rebound in this game?" Mike Breen asked.

Jeff Van Gundy nodded.

Xie Kai made one of two free throws and the Grizzlies led 23:17!

Here, Terry of the Green Army hit a 3-pointer, and the point difference was narrowed to 3 points!

The General also responded with 3 points, and the Grizzlies still led by 6 points at 26:30.

The two teams went back and forth from then on, and until the official timeout in the second quarter, the score difference still did not narrow.

After the official timeout, Xie Kai was replaced by Tony Allen, and both sides gradually replaced their main players.

The game once again entered a tug-of-war between the defensive teams. Without Xie Kai, the pressure on the Green Army's defensive end was much less, and the score was eroded little by little.

After Xie Kai returned to the battle, he stabilized the situation and evened out the score.

At halftime, the Grizzlies led by 1 point at 45:44.

Xie Kai scored 13 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal and 1 block at halftime. His performance was quite comprehensive.

The third quarter of the game started quickly.

Xie Kai started the game with a post-up single, hitting two consecutive shots, and also drew a foul from AB, leading the team to a 6:0 climax.

After the Green Army came back from the timeout, Rondo led the team to fight back with a 4:0 wave, and the two sides entered a tug-of-war again.

After that, Xie Kai used the opponent's defense to continuously assist the old prince and Conley to hit 3-pointers, establishing the score advantage. After he was replaced during the interruption of this quarter, Tony Allen and other players used defense to maintain the advantage until the rotation stage.
Chapter completed!
