Chapter 837 Against the old club
The record of the Grizzlies is similar to last season, and the team's coaching has not changed fundamentally.Although they entered the playoffs, there is a high probability that they will be eliminated in the first round.Few people now say that Xie Kai relied on the strength of the Grizzlies to win the three consecutive championships.Even if it is Heizi, at most it can only be said that they have achieved each other, and there is no such thing as hugging thighs.
The first game of the series between the Thunder and the Grizzlies will take place on April 4 at the Ford Center, home of the Thunder.
Tickets for the first two games of the first round of the Thunder playoffs have already been sold out, and the fans are very enthusiastic about watching the game.As before, Chen Guixiang led the K Honey Legion, arrived in Oklahoma City early, and began to build momentum for the playoffs.All of a sudden, there were many more basketball fans in Oklahoma City, many oriental faces appeared here, and the city's tertiary industry suddenly flourished much more than usual.
Fortunately, this phenomenon has occurred many times in Memphis before, so everyone is also mentally prepared, otherwise the mayor of Oklahoma City should be nervous. Could it be that terrorists are active, and they are going to make some big moves!
The Thunder has always been a strong team in the West after the rise of the three minors, so the first round of the playoffs is not so unusual for their die-hard fans.But this season, the team is strong and has the potential to win the championship, which makes these veterans excited for a long time.
And defeating Xie Kai's old club, the Grizzlies, is the first step.
Westbrook and other Thunder generals are not worried that Xie Kaihui will face his old club in the playoffs.If you really want to let the Grizzlies advance, then his professionalism is too bad. Don't you worry about the collapse of the character design?Moreover, even if the Grizzlies are allowed to enter the second round, with their strength, can they enter the Western Conference Finals?Even if they make it to the Western Conference Finals, facing the 2-star warriors who have a high probability of entering the Western Conference Finals, they are just giving away their heads, with no hope of entering the finals.
Moreover, Xie Kai really wants to walk the Grizzlies into the second round, so is he worth leaving last summer?
The most tangled thing is actually the double fans of the Grizzlies and Xie Kai. They have fleshy palms and backs. They don't want both teams to be eliminated, but one of the two sides must be eliminated after this round of the series.
But this is the cruel part of the playoffs. The good thing is that the two teams will not be wiped out in the first round.
On the evening of April 4, Thunder coach Ford Center Arena.
The scene was lively and the fans were very excited.K Mi, wearing Xie Kai Thunder's No. 22 jersey, has already entered the arena one after another. The atmosphere of the scene has been built up, so let's wait and get excited.
When Xie Kai went to the locker room in the player tunnel today, he was wearing a gray suit, black super and huge headphones, so handsome that the staff forgot to take pictures.He looked very cold, but he couldn't hide his handsome appearance at all.
Before the game, players from both sides entered the field to practice.
Xie Kai met, greeted, hugged and exchanged greetings with Grizzly’s old friends one by one.
Coach Dave Jogel left the team, and the new coach was former Miami Heat assistant David Fizdale.
David Fizdale is considered a rookie coach. I don’t know if the Grizzlies have achieved great success because the previous coach Dave Jogel was also an assistant coach and also a rookie coach, so they want to try to replicate all this.
Judging from the first season of coaching, David Fizdale, who focuses on defense, is quite satisfactory. He has no particularly impressive coaching achievements, but he is not considered a failed coach.
The current lineup of the Grizzlies and Xie Kai have some personnel changes, but the black and white bears are still there, as are Conley and Carter.As for the other familiar faces, they are no longer there...
Mr. Tony joined the Pelicans, Arthur went to the Nuggets, and Xie Kai also felt that there are not so many players who can play for a team for more than 5 years.
Except for those superstars, ordinary players cannot completely determine their own destiny.Being traded is a common occurrence, and some players are even used to it.
Xie Kai himself felt deeply. When he first entered the league, he was traded consecutively before he even played a game. He was just a bargaining chip, being sent back and forth.
Of course, being able to be traded and traded is considered valuable to a certain extent. If you have no value, it may be that no one cares about it in the free market.
The game was broadcast live by Tencent, and Wang Meng and Yang Yi were responsible for the commentary.
Wang Meng's smile resembled Kaizi's little Thomas, and he also took pleasure in it. After all, little Thomas is now in the limelight, known as "the strongest 175 on the surface".
"Mr. Yang thinks who will be the final winner in Xie Kai's match against his old club?" Wang Meng asked with a smile.
Yang Yi babbled, and then said: "Don't be afraid of being slapped in the face, I think, Lei Ting won it, I have already written about it in my personal Weibo, it must be won!"
Wang Meng laughed and said: "You said in the finals of last season that there is no miracle, and now it has become a classic joke on the Internet. Don't be a poisonous milk, Xie Kai's fans can't afford to be hurt!"
Yang Yi said with a smile: "This time it's really not poisonous milk. We're not Jazz. We're not that powerful. Judging from the composition of the two teams and their competitive status, this round of the series is at most 4:2, and the Thunder's advancement is certain." of."
While the two were joking, the starting lineups of both sides were announced.
The starting lineup of the Thunder at home is: Center - Duck, Power Forward - Turk, Small Forward - Pickle, Shooting Guard - Xie Kai, Point Guard - Westbrook.
They have played this starting lineup for almost a season, 82 regular season games, most of the time this starting lineup is very stable.
The starting lineup of the Grizzlies on the bench is: Center-White Bears, Power Forward-Jamacao Green, Small Forward-Sr. Carter, Shooting Guard-Wayne Selden, Point Guard-Conley.
The starting lineup of the Grizzlies is somewhat similar to "one big and four small". Jamako Green, who plays power forward, swings at the third and fourth positions, which is a bit similar to the previous Grizzlies small forward Jeff Green.This type of player has suddenly become popular in today's small ball league. It is very suitable to play the 4 position in the lineup, can play transition, can shoot 3-pointers, and can rotate outside the 3-point line when defending.
Wang Meng was a little puzzled: "Mr. Yang, you said the Grizzlies let Carter start, so who will guard Xie Kai?"
Yang Yi said: "According to the matchup, it should be Wayne Selden. But if you don't want to guard against Xie Kai, Carter needs to guard against Paul George. At Carter's age, it is very difficult to guard against young All-Stars. George, the striker, is enough. But the two of you have to guard against the other. In comparison, George is taller and slower, so it would be more appropriate!"
Wang Meng sighed: "If Parsons doesn't play, it really puts the Grizzlies in a dilemma!"
