Chapter 553: An Embarrassing Record
After only 3 minutes of playing in the first quarter, Xie Kai had already accumulated 2 fouls and was substituted. He didn’t wait until the first quarter was interrupted and he left the game early...
The K-girls at the scene were extremely angry, especially Chen Guixiang. She really almost rushed off the stage to beat up the bald referee, but luckily she was stopped by other K-girls in the same industry. Your sister fucked my son, you are going to die! Damn it.
Is my eldest sister from Chinatown in Los Angeles a vegetarian?
The Grizzlies were targeted because of Xie Kai. After leaving the game early, their offensive performance became even more sluggish. Their offensive focus was concentrated on the inside, but the Warriors had Bogut guarding the inside, so it was really difficult to attack. David
·Although Lee is a bit of a scumbag on defense, he is guarding the defensive player White Bear. With White Bear's offensive ability, it is not easy to completely defeat David Lee.
The Grizzlies' defense is still online. Although the Black and White Bears were also targeted by Curry and Klay Thompson's 3-pointers, their overall defense was excellent, so it was difficult for the opponent's offense to attack.
The first quarter of the game has reached the rotation stage, and rotation players from both sides have started to play. In the playoffs, every team is reducing rotation. The teams that rotated with 10 or even 11 players in the regular season have also been reduced to 10 or even 9 players.
.Some teams even play an 8-man rotation.
Because there are no back-to-back games in the playoffs, the physical pressure on the players is not that great, and the playing time of the starting players has also been greatly increased, with some stars even playing more than 40 minutes.
This is why some experts say that the playoffs are a stage for superstars. Because in this kind of game, when stars play more minutes, the bench depth advantage of teams with all the players will be diluted, and the advantage of personal ability will be expanded.
The Grizzlies are still playing a 10-man rotation, but of course, the players in the second team will have less playing time.
"Teacher Xu, do you think Xie Kai will play in the first quarter?" Yu Jia asked.
Xu Jicheng replied seriously: "Probably not. If I were coach Dave Joerger, I would not let him play again. The score is not far behind now, and there are still three quarters to play, so I risk letting him
If we go on the court and get another foul, it will be really troublesome."
As Xu Jicheng said, coach Dave Joerger did not send Xie Kai on the court for the remainder of the first quarter.
At the end of the first quarter, the Warriors, playing away from home, relied on a more efficient offense to lead by 4 points at 24:20.
Xie Kai played 3 minutes and 25 seconds in the first quarter, made 0 of 2 shots, scored 0 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist. For the first time in his NBA playoff career, he did not score in the first quarter.
Xie Kai, who was sitting on the bench of the home team, covered his face with a towel. No one knew his current expression and face.
While the K fans in the arena were complaining about the dirty comparison between the referee and Bogut, they were also worried about Xie Kai's mentality. They were afraid that there would be something wrong with his mentality and he would be so angry.
The second quarter started soon, and Xie Kai appeared again!
The audience burst into applause, and the applause and cheers were so enthusiastic, as if the home team had won the game.
This is Xie Kai. He may be the only one in the league who can win such applause in this arena.
Chen Guixiang excitedly said to a young K girl next to her: "My son will not be knocked down by such a small setback. He will come back and make those who bully him regret it!"
Young K nodded sweetly: "Well, God K is the strongest!"
The Grizzlies take the lead!
At this time, the Warriors' lineup is: Jarrett Jack, Draymond Green, Carl Landry, Festus Ezeli and the North Carolina Blackhawks.
Except for guard Jack, the other four players on the Warriors are all over 2 meters tall. Compared with the Grizzlies' second lineup, they have an advantage in size.
The general slowly dribbled the ball over and organized the attack at the top of the arc.
The defensive player was Harrison Barnes from North Carolina.
Harrison Barnes graduated from North Carolina and is a rookie this season. He is only 21 years old this year. He was selected by the Warriors with the seventh overall pick in the first round of last year's draft.
Being able to start as a starter in his rookie season already shows that his ability is very good. He was already well-known throughout the United States in high school and was one of the strongest high school students in the country. He was elected the league's Rookie of the Year as a freshman.
, was selected as the Basketball Writers Association of America and Fox Sports All-American Rookie of the Year, and was selected to the Atlantic Coast Conference second team.
This season, Barnes played in 81 games, started 81 games, was selected to the All-Rookie First Team, and is now starting on a playoff team. For him, the future is bright.
Barnes is 203cm tall, weighs 100kg, and has a standard small forward figure. Although his athletic ability is not the best, it is still above average. His running and jumping abilities are good, he can defend positions 1-4, and his swing ability is good.
.Although we haven’t yet seen that he has the explosive scoring ability to score 40 points in a game, but his basic skills are very good, his skills are very comprehensive, he is conscientious on the defensive end, and he does not suffer in confrontations.
Now, he has to defend Xie Kai, the two consecutive league scoring champions. This is a challenge for him. Coach Mark Jackson really trusts him and gives him enough opportunities to grow.
Mark Jackson is really good at cultivating young players. Moreover, he is also very courageous. The fact that he can let Klay and the North Carolina Blackhawks start the game so quickly speaks for itself.
Xie Kaidou came out to catch the ball.
The general immediately gave the ball to Xie Kai.
Xie Kai caught the ball, and the audience burst into applause, and everyone cheered for him.
Xie Kai faced Barnes.
Arthur came out to cover.
Xie Kai holds the ball and goes to the right, and the Warriors switch defense.
Xie Kai faced the wonder bird Landry.
As a power forward, Landry is less than 206cm tall, which is actually about the same height as Barnes, who plays small forward. The reason why Mark Jackson arranged it this way is to make full use of their swing abilities.
Xie holds the ball on the right wing, dribbles with his hands crossed, suddenly starts, and uses his right hand to force a breakthrough.
Landry retreated, trying to force Xie Kai to take the baseline.
Xie Kai rushed forward with the ball, and suddenly he pulled the ball from his hip and the ball reached his left hand. He stopped suddenly and took a shot from mid-range - there it was!
Xie Kai finally scored his first goal of the game!
The screams and shouts of K fans in the stands were intertwined, and the arena instantly turned into a noisy place.
Yu Jia was also very excited: "Xie Kai's classic crotch pull-up jump shot is used again. It's so cool!"
At 22:24, the Grizzlies narrowed the point difference to 2 points!
The Warriors attacked, Landry hit Arthur hard on the right, hit a jumper, and returned the favor!
Arenas dribbled the ball over and passed it to Xie Kai.
Xie Kai continued to forcefully attack Ellington in the right corner!
General Ellington broke out.
The general shot a 3-pointer - missed!
Chapter completed!
