Chapter 717 Become the best player in the NBA
Xie Kai played in 32 minutes in this game, easily scoring the highest 35 points in the game, plus 4 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 steals, with extremely high efficiency.
The No. 1 pick Wiggins performed poorly in this game, making 1 of 7 shots, 3 of 4 free throws, scoring 5 points and 1 rebound.
After the game, Xie Kai attended the press conference. At the press conference, the reporter asked him what he thought about his junior Wiggins.
Xie Kaixiao said, "He has a good talent. Now he needs to play more games and accumulate experience." What he said is true. For a rookie, especially the No. 1 pick, the spotlight on his body is too bright, which is sometimes not a good thing. Be low-key, work hard to improve yourself, accumulate experience through the competition experience, and learn to grow.
Xie Kai also praised his new teammates Carter and Udri. Of course, Udri is not a new teammate in strict terms. The two of them fought side by side with the King.
The outside world doesn't find it strange to win this game. If the Timberwolves can defeat the opponent on the night of the championship ring awarding ceremony, then this team will really have a look this season!
But the game process has made many Timberwolves fans look forward to next season... What are the popular rookies?
On November 1, the Grizzlies played against the Indiana Pacers away. The Pacers had a very good record in the Eastern Conference in the past few seasons, thanks to their defense. On the offensive end, Pizza's personal ability is their weapon for attacking. Unfortunately, in July this year, Pizza was selected for the Las Vegas Men's Basketball Mini Training Camp to prepare for the 2014 Spanish Basketball World Cup. On August 2, in an in-squad match between the United States, he encountered a right leg when he landed on the ground and twisted and fell directly, resulting in an open fracture of the tibia and fibula.
The seasonal reimbursement of Pickled Peppers is a fatal impact for this Pacers. Not only is it bad this season, even if he comes back next season, his condition will be restored to a certain level, which is a problem.
Although the Grizzlies were away in this game, they still easily defeated their opponents and ushered in two consecutive victories.
On November 2, the NBA officially announced last week's best player in the East and West. The Eastern Heat's first-hand Taoist and the Western Grizzlies' Xie Kai won the honor.
Last week, Xie Kai led the team to win two consecutive victories, and his personal performance was also quite impressive. Although they only played two games, the official still gave him this honor.
This is Xie Kai's 21st weekly best in the NBA. This data is the first place in the 2008th class. Of course, he is no longer satisfied with becoming the best player in the 2008th class. He wants to become the best player in the NBA.
That night, the Grizzlies easily defeated the Hornets in their second away trip to the East and ushered in three consecutive victories.
The defending champion who won three consecutive victories in two consecutive victories cannot arouse too much interest from the media. Everyone's expectations for this team are no longer satisfying a three-game winning streak. Moreover, the three teams they defeated are not very strong teams.
Two days later, the Grizzlies returned to their home court to face the Pelicans.
In this game, thanks to Xie Kai's winning jump shot 23 seconds before the final game, the Grizzlies narrowly defeated their opponents at home and ushered in a four-game winning streak.
The Grizzlies' winning streak continues. On November 6, they easily beat the Suns away and ushered in a five-game winning streak. On November 8, facing the Thunder, who were both young and were absent due to injuries, they easily defeated the opponent away and ushered in a six-game winning streak.
The Grizzlies have won 6 consecutive victories, firmly ranked first in the West, and are the only unbeaten team in the West. But in these six consecutive victories, they have also exposed some problems. First, the Black Bears have declined to varying degrees compared to previous seasons. Although the White Bears have improved, they cannot conceal the fact that the Black Bears' ability to attack in low positions has become weak; second, the old prince has really declined, and his outside open shooting and defense have all declined sharply. Now he is no longer the experienced 3D player when he first came. If he wants 3 or 3 or D or D, his opponent has begun to open him interestingly to attack Xie Kai and the Double Bears.
Fortunately, the Grizzlies' added Carter's condition has been very good this season, and they are very active in the second lineup, and they are very consistent with Xie Kai, which also reassured the Grizzlies fans a lot, at least the team's overall strength has not declined.
On November 9, the Grizzlies lost 1 point back to back to the Bucks away, and their unbeaten golden body was broken.
After finishing this game, the Grizzlies will return to their home court to prepare for a confrontation with the Lakers on the 12th.
Since the Lakers failed to form F4, they have fallen into a trough, ranking second from the bottom in the Western Conference last season and have not entered the playoffs.
This season, Kobe's 19th season for the Lakers, tied the record for John Stockton's longest season in the NBA for the same team.
Jeremy Lin was also traded to the Lakers during the offseason, so the Lakers instantly became one of the most watched teams in the league.
But high attention does not mean that their strength is strong. Their paper strength is there, and it is difficult to make it into the playoffs unless Lin Crazy comes again and Kobe is rejuvenated in his second spring.
But Kobe is already 36 years old. He has experienced a major injury like a ruptured Achilles tendon. At this age, the possibility of returning to his previous level is slim.
But this game still attracted high attention from the outside world. Xie Kai vs Kobe, the first countdown in the new and old leagues; Xie Kai vs. Jeremy Lin, the competition between the yellow race.
The game has not started yet, and there are media and fans online and offline to build momentum. This kind of PK is one game less. Because everyone knows that Kobe has entered the late stage of his career, and he has entered the countdown to retire.
The Lakers were visiting Memphis, and Xie Kai invited Jeremy Lin to dinner at home. November 11th was Xie Kai's birthday, and Jeremy Lin also gave him a pair of beautiful black sunglasses.
The relationship between the two has always been good. Maybe it is because of the relationship between the two of them, so it is not difficult to communicate. Xie Kai had been to Jeremy Lin’s house in the Bay Area before and was a guest. Lin’s mother cooked a delicious meal and was very kind. Her mouthful of Taiwanese Mandarin made Xie Kai feel like he was watching Taiwanese idol dramas.
Jeremy Lin said to Xie Kai: "Coach Byron Scott doesn't like playing pick-and-roll, he wants to play Princeton."
Xie Kai was also surprised: "If you don't play triangle offense, pick-and-roll, and if you play Princeton, your existing players are not suitable!"
"That's right, Princeton needs a high-level inside spool, and neither Jordan (Jordan Hill) nor Carlos (Carlos Boozer) can do this."
