On May 20, the Western Conference Finals G1 was held at the FedEx Arena at the Grizzlies' home court.

Before the start of this game, let alone the Grizzlies players, even their fans did not think that new players like the Warriors could pose any threat to them. They were already imagining that if the Lakers were the same as those of the year, they would advance to the finals with a complete victory.

Xie Kai vaguely felt something was wrong. This team that had won two consecutive championships had rich playoff experience, but the continuous winnings made their sense of hunger and urgency gradually disappear. It is actually no wonder that players are humans, not machines, and they have their own emotions, which is normal.

But they were slapped in the face and were slapped in the face by the Warriors.

In this Western Conference Final G1, the Warriors made 18 three-pointers. Curry scored 8 shots by himself, and many of the three-pointers were covered by the inside, targeting the defect of the slow pace of the Black and White Bears.

The two teams also met in the playoffs before, but the Splash Brothers at that time were far less terrifying than they are now. The Warriors at that time were not as integral as they are now, and there was no such powerful second team.

The Warriors' second lineup led by Iguodala and Livingston is really strong. You should know that Iguodala was the leader of the track and field team last season! But after two seasons, he has become the sixth player of the Warriors. With such an All-Star All-Around King in the bench, the Warriors' overallness will come out.

Although Xie Kai scored 39 points, 10 rebounds and 4 assists in the whole game, unfortunately, other Grizzlies players performed poorly and were eventually defeated by their opponents at home, ushering in the first loss of the playoffs this season.

The Grizzlies' defeat caused a shock in the league. This is definitely a big upset, even if the Warriors have the second place in the league in regular season.

In the past two seasons, the Grizzlies have been through the game. In the subconscious of many people, they will not lose in the FedEx Arena in the playoffs. The fact is that in the playoffs last season, their home record in the playoffs was completely wins and they did not lose a single game.

The defeat in this game made many people realize the strength of the Warriors. They had always thought that they could not shoot outside long shots like the regular season in the playoffs, but they used practical actions to slap these people who looked down on them.

After the defeat in this game, the Grizzlies players were a little unacceptable. That night, even a needle fell to the ground, which showed how quiet it was.

At this time, Xie Kai spoke: "There are 7 games in the series, and we just lost one game, and there is nothing to accept. Maybe everyone has become accustomed to winning and thinks we should win 16 consecutive games to win. But if this is true, does such a dynasty lack a little legend?"

The players in the locker room were attracted by Xie Kai's words, including veteran Carter and others.

Xie Kai continued: "We just lost 1 game, but our home advantage is gone. It's no big deal. We can still win at their home court and we can still reach the finals!"

The originally dull locker room has regained some vitality and confidence after Xie Kai's words.

Carter sighed in his heart that he felt that this yellow-skinned Asian star was not just good at playing skills. He was also a good leader and knew how to regulate the team's emotions in the locker room.

The G2 of the Western Conference Finals will continue to play in the FedEx Arena, the Grizzlies' home court, on May 22. The Grizzlies, who have lost their first game, have no way out. They must win the second game, otherwise they will go to Oakland with a big score of 0:2, and the pressure will be too great.

Grizzlies coach Dave Joggel also puts a lot of pressure on his shoulders. His coaching career in the past can be called perfect. But if he cannot lead the team to the finals and be killed by the Warriors, he will definitely not be able to appear in the position of the Grizzlies' head coach next season.

The NBA head coach has a very high dismissal rate, so you have to control your blood pressure when you are a coach!

On May 21, the NBA officially announced the All-Season Team.

The first team selected for the best team are: Xie Kai, Curry, James, Davis and White Bear.

This is the first time the White Bears have been selected for the first team, and this is the first time the Grizzlies have two players selected for the first team.

The White Bears performed well this season. With the Black Bears falling in form, his average score and blocks have hit career highs. Now he is one of the best centers in the NBA. His inside skills, support skills and defensive abilities are excellent.

This is the fifth consecutive year that Xie Kai has been selected for the All-Season Team, and it is also the fourth consecutive year that he has been selected for the One Team. Currently, he has 4 first teams and 1 third team, and he is already the player with the most All-Season Team selected for the 2008th.

But Xie Kai didn't have the intention to be proud at this time, because they lost G1 in the Western Conference Finals. He was under great pressure. The opportunity to build a dynasty may be like this in his life. He could not guarantee that he would meet such a great teammate and such a great team in the future, so what he could do was cherish the present.

On May 22, FedEx Stadium.

The stadium is still full, even if the home team fails in the first game.

Both Chen Guixiang and Zhou Jing believe that Xie Kai will not be defeated so easily. They believe that he will lead the Grizzlies to the finals for the third consecutive season.

The huge number of K honeys on the scene also believe that their K God will not let the Warriors return to Oakland with a total score of 0:2. He has never disappointed the fans.

This game continues to be live broadcast on CCTV5, and the person in charge of the commentary is host Yu Jia and guest Yang Yi.

Yu Jia said: "This game is really important to the Grizzlies. If they lose, they will be in a desperate situation!"

Yang Yi nodded and said, "It can be said that if the Grizzlies lose again in this game, they must change their teams in the next game when they go to Oakland, otherwise, they may really miss the finals."

Yu Jia asked: "Yang Yi, if the Grizzlies want to change their lineup, where do they need to move?"

Yang Yi said: "Move the inside!"

"Take Randolph?"

Yang Yi nodded.

"Then let Arthur start?"
Chapter completed!
