Chapter 723 The first season of the season 50+
At the beginning of the final quarter, Xie Kai led the team to a 6:0 climax and stopped the game. After the timeout, Carter scored 3 points, and the Grizzlies widened the gap to double digits.
Kobe waited for the Lakers' main players to come back immediately, but he was unable to make up for the situation. Xie Kai's control of the field, his stable scoring ability when the opponent chased and scored, maintained his advantage until the end of the game.
In the end, the Grizzlies defeated the Lakers at home and refused to lose two consecutive games.
Kobe scored 35 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks in the whole game, setting a new season-long single-game scoring high.
Xie Kai scored 40 points, 10 rebounds, 11 assists, 6 steals and 1 block in the whole game, not only leading the team to win, but also won his first triple-double of the season.
This is Xie Kai's first triple-double this season and his 16th triple-double in his NBA regular season career.
After the game, Xie Kai hugged Jeremy Lin and Kobe respectively.
Xie Kai lamented that Kobe is less paranoid and competitive than he was in his 20s, and he was a lot more open-minded and knew that sometimes his record was not something that could be controlled by one person. Basketball is a sport for five people after all.
When Xie Kai and Kobe hugged each other, the cameras on the scene were aimed at them.
Kobe patted Xie Kai on the back and smiled and congratulated: "Good job, keep on working hard!"
Xie Kai quickly said, "Thank you!"
Looking at this scene, Yu Jia, who was sitting in the CCTV studio, sighed: "Guide Zhang, what do you think Kobe is saying to Xie Kai?"
Director Zhang said: "It must be the guidance of some technical aspects of him. Kobe is a good person. He will not hide it. He is willing to share his technology with his back. This quality is not comparable to that of ordinary superstars."
Yu Jia: “…”
At the press conference after the game, when the reporter asked Xie Kai what he thought about the game, Xie Kai sighed: "This game is very difficult. I didn't expect Kobe's spiritual power to be so strong. I still need to learn from him!"
Xie Kai did not lie. He really wanted to learn from Kobe's spirit. Sometimes, when his strength was similar, his mental strength might determine the victory of a game.
The Grizzlies beat the Lakers, but the result was not surprising, but the game process was so exciting that it surprised the fans.
Kobe has too many fans. There are many Mamba fans in the United States, and 60e in China.
After the Grizzlies defeated the Lakers, their record reached 7 wins and 1 loss. Their record ranks first in the West and continues to make great progress.
The Grizzlies' next game opponent is the Kings, which is Xie Kai's old club, and this game has also attracted the attention of the outside world.
On November 14, the Grizzlies played against the Kings at home. With Xie Kai's 41+5+4+4+1, they easily defeated their opponents at home and ushered in two consecutive victories.
This is Xie Kai's first time this season has completed a "back-to-back 40+", and it is also his 17th time in his NBA regular season career.
Two days later, the Grizzlies continued to play at home and face the Pistons. With the stable performance of the Black and White Bears and Xie Kai, they defeated their opponents and ushered in three consecutive victories.
On November 18, the Grizzlies still played at home and welcomed the Western Conference Rockets. Facing Beverly and Uchiha Den, Xie Kai was not ruthless and scored the first 50+-50 points of the season, leading the team to defeat his opponents, ushering in four consecutive victories.
This is the second time Xie Kai has been in his career for 50+. He has been in very good shape recently and is currently leading the MVP ranking list. James, who competed for MVP last season, has a mess in the Cavaliers team this season. His record is currently poor and he ranks last in the Eastern Conference.
On November 20, the Grizzlies lost to the Raptors away and missed the five consecutive victories.
The old prince's condition has not recovered, and the Black Bear's offensive ability has declined, which has affected the Grizzlies' starting strength. Fortunately, Xie Kai, White Bear and Conley have entered their peak period, which has not reduced the overall strength of this team.
On November 22, the Grizzlies defeated the Celtics at home and refused to lose in a row.
On November 23, the Grizzlies defeated the Clippers at home and ushered in two consecutive victories.
After this game, the Grizzlies will once again have a second match with the Los Angeles Lakers.
In a previous fight between the two teams, Xie Kai and Kobe were still vivid in their eyes, which made this second match more topical.
You can ignore the outcome of this game and simply appreciate the competition between the two superstars. Wouldn't that make people feel happier?
That night, the battle began.
The offensive efficiency of both sides in this game is not high, which is completely different from the previous match between the two teams. In the end, the Grizzlies, who were more powerful, laughed to the end, defeated the Lakers, and ushered in three consecutive victories.
Two days later, the Grizzlies beat the Trail Blazers away and ushered in four consecutive victories.
As a result, all the games in November have ended, and the Grizzlies are now 14 wins and 2 losses, ranking first in the league.
In the next game, the Grizzlies' opponent is the Sacramento Kings, and the attention of this game is also very high, because Xie Kai will return to Saskatchewan for the first time this season.
Earlier that day, the NBA officially announced last month's best player in the East and West. Jimmy Butler of the Eastern Bulls and Xie Kai from the Western Grizzlies won the honors respectively.
This is the seventh best month in Xie Kai's NBA career. His performance last month was very exciting. Not only did he win 50+ once, but he also helped the team firmly occupy the No. 1 position in the Western Conference.
Therefore, the outside world is more looking forward to what data Xie Kai will play when he returns to Sa City. Xie Kai's performance this season is so good, better than when he won the MVP last season. It is obvious that he has gradually entered his peak period. Everyone really wants to see what data he will play when facing his old club.
Xie Kai returned to Sass City before and performed well. Moreover, there is another topic in this game, which is that his former teammate Rudy Gay is currently in the Kings.
In fact, Rudy Guy didn't join the Kings before this season. In the middle of last season, the Kings sent John Salmons, Charles Hayes, Grevis Vasquis and Patrick Patterson to get Rudy Guy, Quincy Assi and Aaron Gray from the Raptors trade.
On November 17, the Kings and Guy reached a contract renewal agreement, with a three-year contract worth $40 million, effective from the 2015-16 season.
But this was Guy's first full season with his new club Kings. He expressed his determination to play a world with the Kings during the offseason.
Guy's contract is actually smaller than the previous one. His last contract was signed with the Grizzlies, and his last year's contract salary was 19.3 million US dollars.
