Before the game, Kyrie Irving, the MVP of the New Student All-Star Game, said in an interview with reporters: "Kane Xie is a scorer, but I think I am the No. 1 position with the most comprehensive scoring skills."

Reporter: "Do you think Kane Xie has caught up with Kobe?"

Irving: "He may have surpassed Kobe's average score per game, but he does not have Kobe's Mamba spirit. I think he is too afraid to be himself when playing basketball, and he cannot compare with Kobe."

The reporter also interviewed Xie Kai. When asked about his opinion of Irving, he smiled and said, "Kyrie is a good scorer, but I will not agree to defeat me twice in a season."

Reporter: "Kyrie said you don't have Kobe's Mamba spirit and you can't compare with Kobe. What do you think?"

Xie Kai replied: "Kobe has 5 championships, I only have one. He has won the MVP, but I have never won it. Of course I cannot compare with Kobe. As for the Mamba spirit, he thinks I don't have it, so there is no. I never think that a defender must have the Mamba spirit. I believe more that I have the traditional spirit of Yugong moving mountains in our country, haha!"

"What Yugong moved the mountain?" The reporter was confused.

Xie Kai explained: "It means working hard, persevering, not afraid of failure, and persevering!"

"Oh, it's indeed a great spirit!" The reporter suddenly realized.

The express delivery stadium was still full on the evening of March 2. Since the Grizzlies won the championship last season, the team's home tickets have basically been sold out.

Although the opponents in this game are not strong, they have many highlights. Moreover, Irving's comments made in the pre-match interview, which increased the popularity of this game.

Everyone wants to see if this new All-Star MVP can lead the team to double-kill the opponent in the face of Xie Kai. If you can double-kill the defending champion in the season, you can really brag for a while. Even if you don’t make it to the playoffs in the end, you will still be honored even if you lose.

When practicing before the game, both sides were relaxed. The Grizzlies were confident, and they did not think that the Cavaliers could really kill themselves twice. The Cavaliers had nothing to lose anyway. They did not set a season goal to enter the playoffs this season, allowing young people such as Irving TT Witters to level up, and they focused on the future.

CCTV5 live broadcast of this game, and the person who commented on this game was Er Yang.

The Grizzlies' starting lineup is the same as in the last game, and they are still familiar with Double Bears + Old Prince + Xie Kai + Conley.

The Cavaliers played away from home without playing in this game, so the starting lineup has changed: center - Spencer Hawys, power forward - Tristan Thompson, small forward - Ruhr Deng, shooting guard - Jarit Jack, organizational defender - Kyrie Irving.

Yang Jian smiled and said, "Did you see the pre-match interview about Irving, Yang Yi?"

Yang Yi nodded: "I've seen it, it's very exciting!"

Yang Jian smiled and said, "Irving is really a personality, but I always think his EQ is a little low. It's okay for you to like Kobe. It's okay for you to treat him as an idol, but there's no need to belittle another superstar!"

Yang Yi said: "You can't say this completely. Irving is not that sensible. He just likes Kobe or doesn't appreciate Xie Kai. It's just that the way he speaks is not tactful enough, and he is also because of the process by reporters, and he becomes dislike Xie Kai!"

"I feel that Irving is a little bit arrogant when he won the All-Star MVP!" Yang Jian said with a smile.

Yang Yi said: "The All-Star MVP is not that valuable. Look at those superstars, they are lazy and have no spirit. This kind of defensive strength makes it worth getting high scores."

The main players of both sides appear and the game is about to begin.

The atmosphere at the FedEx Arena was very good, with the Western Conference Champions and the Championship Banner hanging over the Arena, which gave the home team fans a great sense of pride. Currently, there are 30 teams in the NBA, and many teams have not won the championship, including their opponents, the Cavaliers today.

White Bear and Hawys are preparing to jump the ball near the center circle, and the game is about to begin.

Xie Kai and Hawyce are old friends. They have been teammates for two seasons with the Kings. Both were traded by the Kings in the summer of 10 years, so they are considered to be sympathetic.

Hawyce was traded to the Sixers in the summer of 2010. He was sent to the Cleveland Cavaliers not long ago for the trading deadline for two second round picks in 2014.

Hawys averaged 13 points and 8.5 rebounds per game so far this season, with a three-point shooting percentage of more than 40%. He is a very outstanding space-type big man.

The jump starts, and Hawys passes the ball to Ruhr Deng, and the Cavaliers who play away are given the first wave of offensive ball rights.

Kyrie Irving dribbles slowly through halftime.

Boos sounded at the scene. Obviously, Irving's interview before the game made the home team fans, especially K-Mi. In their opinion, you didn't get any honors, you just took an All-Star MVP and dared to challenge Xie Kai. It's really too arrogant.

Irving came with the ball, and Tristan Thompson came out to pick-and-roll.

Irving took advantage of the pick-and-roll and made a quick jump shot after a fucking shot - hitting!

Irving scored 2 points first!

The Grizzlies attacked, and the Black Bears were playing TT at a low post. The latter was not tall, but his butt was big, his center of gravity was low, and he was also tiger, which was quite annoying.

The Black Bears missed a jump shot from the back, and Ruhr Deng took the rebound.

Irving pushed forward, played the ball and made a transition. He rushed in with one rhythm, avoided the old prince's long arm, and folded the layup - Xie Kaikuan, who was assisted in defending, came out of the baseline!

Wow—

K Mi in the stands screamed repeatedly. Xie Kai's judgment on the ball was so outstanding. He saw that Irving would not pass the ball, so he directly let go of his defender and went to assist in the basket.

Yang Jian smiled and said, "Irving really doesn't pass the ball at all. How good is Thompson's position in this ball!"

Yang Yi said: "Irving has a strong scoring ability. A young defender like him is so talented. He has not learned how to lead his teammates yet!"

The Cavaliers attacked, and Irving got the ball and gave it to Hawys at the top of the arc.

Hawys and Jack handed over, and the latter held the ball and rushed to the bottom line after the dead ball.

TT catches the ball, holds the ball in his left hand, and makes a stiff hook to get a shot--no!

The White Bears took the rebound.

Tristan Thompson graduated from the University of Texas and was selected by the Cavaliers with the fourth pick in the first round in the 2011 draft.

Compared with Irving, who is in the same class and in the same team, he seems much more low-key and ordinary. He is not short of a power forward at 206cm tall, but his offensive ability is too mediocre and he has almost no shooting ability. Even at the basket, his offensive skills are average. His advantage lies in his strong body and excellent ability to rebound in the frontcourt. He can switch to defenders and forwards on the defensive end, and his physical fitness and durability are good.
