Chapter 558 Victory in the first battle
In the final game, although the Warriors' Curry scored a 3-pointer, the Grizzlies assisted Conley and hit a mid-range shot. In the end, there was no suspense in the game.
In the end, the Grizzlies, playing at home, narrowly defeated the Warriors 100:96, rewriting the series score to 1:0.
The game was over, the ribbons were flying, and the Grizzlies fans were screaming and applauding. The process of this game was bumpy and difficult. Only those who have experienced it know how difficult it is.
Xie Kai scored a triple-double of 22 points, 11 rebounds, 11 assists, 3 steals and 1 block in this game. This was the first triple-double of his NBA playoff career. Obviously, he was subject to the opponent's help and defense throughout the game.
, he did not have many good opportunities to show his personal offensive threat, so he turned his threats more into creating opportunities for his teammates, and achieved good results.
After the game, Xie Kai said in the commentary interview: "We didn't play well in this game, but we united as one and finally won the game. Zach made a sacrifice, and he voluntarily gave up the right to appear at critical moments.
, allowing teammates who are in better condition to play is one of the key factors in our ability to finally win this game."
After the game, the discussion about this game occupied a lot of pages. Some experts commented that the Warriors may be the biggest threat to them among the four teams ranked 5-8 in the Western Conference. The reason is that Curry and Grams
Le Thompson's 3-pointer threat is too great. The two of them can shoot without the ball with the help of Bogut, and they can also shoot 3-pointers with the ball. This is a big problem on the defensive end for the Grizzlies, who have both black and white bears.
Trouble. In the end, the Grizzlies were forced to give up their strongest combination of black and white bears. Playing one senior and four juniors is evidence of this. On the defensive end, they need to block the opponent's outside shots and need players with better defensive expansion capabilities.
Regarding the sharp comments from the expert media, Grizzlies coach Dave Joerger did not admit the matter directly. He only said that the reason why the Black Bears were not allowed to play in the final stage was not that he could not guard the opponent, but that his condition that night was not good. He took the initiative
To propose a solution.
Although the expert media group has a lot of discussions on the technical, tactical and strategic aspects of this game, very few people criticize Xie Xie's performance in this game. As long as they are not blind, or they are the kind of people who are purely black for the sake of being black.
, everyone knows how important this regular season league scoring champion is to the team in the game. Whether it is the overall performance in regular time or the strong scoring at critical moments, the performance is perfect, and there is almost nothing to criticize.
.
After the game, Zhou Jing gave Xie Kai a big hug.
"Xie Xiaokai, you are so charming today. You don't know how handsome you were at that critical moment just now!"
Xie Kai smiled and said: "Of course I know how handsome I am, just listen to how many female fans cheer for me!"
Zhou Jing hit Xie Kai on the back with her small fist, and then muttered: "I hate it, tell me the truth, which female fan have you fallen in love with?"
Xie Kai didn't expect that a casual joke would get him involved. He jumped to his wits and said quickly: "I'm talking nonsense. There are no female fans. I was concentrating on the game. Do you think I still have the energy to pay attention to the male fans and female fans?"
Fans?"
Zhou Jing accepted this explanation. She was just pretending to question Xie Kai. She was not stupid. It was impossible for an NBA professional player to distinguish the shouts of the audience so clearly during the game. She
I have been to the scene and know that when 20,000 people are screaming at the same time, they can't hear their own voices clearly.
The second game of the Grizzlies vs. Warriors series will continue on April 23 at the Grizzlies’ home court. After the first game, the home team, which is said to have an 80% promotion probability, did not dare to underestimate this.
Ranked third from last in the Western Conference this season.
Xie Kai is still very confident that the home team will advance to the second round. Curry's 3-pointer is indeed a great threat, but the Warriors' weaknesses are also obvious. First, the inside attack power is not enough. David Lee does have a strong offense.
Ability, but defense is also a weakness. At critical moments, the Warriors can only choose Bogut, otherwise the interior defense will be impossible to watch. But with Bogut, it is almost impossible to hope for interior offense. Bogut
Te is very similar to the White Bears. They do not have the ability to average 20+10 per game. Their role is on the defensive end. They can support and cover. They are good interior defensive gates, but they are not suitable for attacking. Secondly, they lack the depth to cut into the opponent's defense.
Players in the formation. Curry and Klay Thompson are considered the best backcourt shooting combination in the league, but they also need someone to create space for them to shoot! They can shoot from above, but their shooting percentage is definitely not as good as open shots. It’s that simple.
The reason is not difficult to understand. So they need a player who can use breakthroughs to tear apart the opponent's defensive front and pass the ball. LeBron James is perfect for this team, but of course it is impossible to find him.
Just pure YY. If James is here, he can make up for the two points that the Warriors currently lack the most, one is a breakthrough player, and the other is a ball handler at critical moments. It is conceivable that in the final desperate stage, one player and four players will play.
James plays the 4th position, Bogut picks and rolls, James breaks through, and Curry, Klay and the North Carolina Blackhawks stand on the outside. The opponent can only choose one of two bottles of poison. Without James, it looks like a "poor man's version" of James.
Godala is very suitable for this team that is good at shooting. Iguodala is very comprehensive. He is a strong defender on the perimeter, can organize offense, and can break through. He is the kind of versatile figure that any team needs.
.If you let him be the boss, his offense is still poor, but if he is a "god of wealth" similar to mahjong, it will be very good!
In addition to these two points, the Warriors' current second lineup lacks offensive space. Draymond Green is at the small forward position and lacks shooting ability, making Landry's singles inside vulnerable to double attacks. And they
The second lineup currently can only rely on Jack to hold the ball and attack, lacking changes. Facing the Grizzlies second lineup led by Xie Kai, their plus and minus values are both negative.
Although Curry and Klay are young, they cannot play 48 minutes, so the current problem of the team's second lineup is indeed somewhat unsolvable.
There is no pressure on the Warriors. Their mission this season has been completed (reaching the playoffs). Their goal is the draft in June. In the free agent market, they have salary space and chips (big
