Jack couldn't move, and finally died. Later, he couldn't get the ball out, and violated the 24-second violation...

The sound of booing on the spot was heard one after another, and the Grizzlies used their excellent defense to curb their opponent's offense.

In the NBA, the blow or mistake will hit your own morale far less powerful than being defended by your opponent for 24 seconds.

Ball rights conversion, Grizzlies offense.

Conley dribbled over and distributed it to the low-post White Bear!

Bai Xiong forced Hawyce to make a foul on the latter!

Yang Yi sighed: "Hoyce can't stand Gasol at all at the low post!"

The Grizzlies continued to attack in the frontcourt, the White Bears continued to chisel Hawys at low post, and the Cavaliers contracted!

The white bear gave the ball to the old prince at the bottom corner, and the old prince gave it another 45 degrees to thank him!

Xie Kai received the ball, and the left wing shot 45 degrees and 3 points...

Jack passed by, but it was too late. He was already in a height disadvantage and was transferred by the other party. If he was a little unaware of it, he would be seized by the other party!

"Swish-" Xie Kai made a three-pointer!

9:8, the Grizzlies overtake! This is their first lead in this game! The situation has begun!

Irving dribbled over and played Conley with the ball single. He used his continuous advancement, dribbling under his crotch, behind his back, and a difficult jump shot - bounced in!

Wow—

10:9, the Cavaliers continue to take the lead!

Yang Jian smiled and said, "Irving is really a straight-up! He just wants to fight by himself, even if it is difficult!"

Yang Yi smiled and said, "Irving is quite like Kobe in this regard!"

The two teams began to face each other, until the first quarter was 5 minutes and 48 seconds left, and a dead ball appeared on the sidelines, and Xie Kai was replaced by his teammate Tony Allen.

Before Xie Kai left the court, the score on the court was 15:16, and the Grizzlies were still 1 point behind! His data was 5 points, 1 rebound, 1 assist, 1 steal and 1 block, and filled the data bar in half the quarter.

After Xie Kai ended, the Grizzlies instantly became a team similar to pure defense, and the two teams also began to enter a battle of iron.

The Cavaliers' defense is actually OK. Irving's pick-and-roll defense is a disaster, but it is still possible to defend alone. TT and Deng, as sweepers in the front and inside, kept filling in positions, assisting defense, fighting to help Irving and Hawys wipe their butts.

Fortunately, the Grizzlies' offense was not smooth, so the scores of the two teams remained stalemate.

With 2 minutes and 13 seconds left in the first quarter, Xie Kai replaced Kangli.

Since the beginning of the last game, Arenas has fallen out of rotation because of his poor condition and the team has enough outside rotations.

Regarding this, coach Dave Joggel and the team's core Xie Kai talked to the general. He himself was quite open-minded and did not care too much about it. It was not that the team looked down on him, but that his own state was somewhat unable to keep up with the overall team. As a veteran, he could also accept this reality. His role did not have to be displayed on the court. In the locker room and training ground, there were places where he could use his remaining energy.

The winning of the championship last season made the general feel very satisfied with his career. He knew that his reputation was not good. After his condition declined, no team was willing to ask for him. If it weren't for the Grizzlies and Xie Kai, he might have left the league. Now, for the overall situation of the team, he feels that he shouldn't be too stingy. The team can defend the title this year is the most important thing.

The general's overall consideration made the Grizzlies' coaching staff and players respect him more. Coach Dave Joggel had a headache about team rotation. Last season, they played 10-man rotation or even 11-man rotation for a long time, which made them sometimes seem a bit insufficient competition. In his coaching philosophy, the regular season has maintained 10-man rotation, and the playoffs has just been just right. But before, they had played 11-man rotation frequently, starting 5-man group + substitute generals, James Johnson, Mike Miller, Arthur and Ed Davis.

This makes players' playing time, especially substitutes, unstable and relatively few. Sometimes they are in good condition and will end up if they don't come out.

Let the general withdraw from the rotation so that Xie Kai can serve as the point guard of the Grizzlies' second lineup, so that the team can line up three sets of second lineups. Lineup 1: Xie Kai + Tony Allen + Mike Miller + James Johnson + Ed Davis/Arthur; Lineup 2: Xie Kai + Mike Miller + James Johnson + Arthur + Ed Davis, Lineup 3: Xie Kai + Tony Allen + Mike Miller + Arthur + Ed Davis.

In this way, the Grizzlies can flexibly adjust whether to use a traditional lineup with a double inside line or a small lineup with a big and four small according to their opponent's situation.

Facing the lineup of Irving + Delavidova + Alonzo Gee + Anthony Bennett + Taylor Zeller sent by the Cavaliers. The Grizzlies sent the second lineup of Shekay + Tony Allen + Mike Miller + Arthur + Ed Davis.

The score on the court was 19:20, and the Grizzlies were still 1 point behind.

Yang Jian smiled and said, "Thank you to play the point guard, then he will face Irving? This looks good, hahaha..."

Yang Yi shook his head: "This is not necessarily the case. It is possible that Teacher Tony will defend Irving. The two defenders of the best defensive lineup last season were in the backcourt. This defense is enough for Irving to have a drink."

At the beginning of the game, Xie Kai took Mike Miller's sideline ball and came with it. The defender was not Irving, who also played point guard, but Australian white defender Matthew Delavidova.

Yang Jian smiled and said, "Irving didn't go to guard Xie Kai. It seems that Coach Mike Brown is still protecting him!"

Yang Yi nodded: "Irving's defense is very average. Let him face the opponent's outward-oriented number one arrow. It is under great pressure and is prone to foul trouble."

Delavidova is an Australian player and graduated from St. Mary's Academy. He participated in the draft in 2013 and was unfortunately unable to be selected. He then participated in the Cavaliers training camp and signed a two-year contract. He has a very distinctive characteristic among Australian players. He has very tough defense, very active, and extremely Taff.

Xie Kai admires Delavidova who uses life to defend himself, because he saw his former self. In order to survive in this league, he plays basketball with his life for his dreams. Compared with Bogut, who is also Australia's "clean and clean", Delavidova is relatively clean, although sometimes the movements are quite big.

Delavidova led the defense of Xie Kai in the whole game. The fans felt that they were people from two worlds and started the showdown in this game.

Delavidova's shortcomings are obvious. If you talk about the defensive end alone, his movements are not good. As a tall point guard with a height of 193cm, his pace frequency and horizontal movement are not good, and it is difficult to keep up with those pure speed guards. As a make-up, he will keep going on his body, use various means to force you to stop, wrestle with you, and consume your physical fitness.
