"Good shot, 2+1!" Su Qun said excitedly.
Yu Jia said with a smile: "Xie Kai used his speed to get rid of Matthews' defense. So defending Xie Kai has never been a matter of one person."
Su Qun nodded and said: "If the MVP-level superstar can easily limit the single-defense, then the game will be easy to play. Matthews is strong enough, but the speed really can't keep up. This ball is still a bit slow to assist the defense. Maybe the Blazers The team didn't expect Xie Kaihui to play so resolutely!"
Xie Kai walked to the free throw line and made an extra free throw!
At 20:19, the Grizzlies came back with an overtake!
When Shay made a free throw, Carter Sr. came on, replacing Tony Allen.
The Trail Blazers attacked, Matthews turned his back, and Blake scored the ball!
Xie Kai made a half-circle and reached out to knock the ball away!
But the ball was still within the Blazers' possession, and Blake continued to hold it.
The handsome center Leonard came up to cover, Blake broke through to the free throw line, and hit the ground to Darrell Wright in the low post!
But it was broken by Arthur!
Arthur handed the ball to Xie Kai, and the Grizzlies counterattacked!
Xie Kai came over with the ball and continued to face Matthews amid the cheers of the fans.
Koufos came out to hang a screen, Xie Kai changed his direction to walk in, and suddenly accelerated and cut straight to the basket!
The Trail Blazers naturally contracted, and Xie Kai gave the ball to Carter in the corner!
Old Carter catches the ball, jumps high, and shoots a 3-point shot...
Although Carter is old, his jumping height is still very scary. His shooting is a double-action shooting. He jumps very high and his release point is high, even if it is open. This is completely different from the old prince.
The ball was spinning in the air and finally fell into the net bag!
At 23:19, the Grizzlies lead by 4 points!This is their biggest lead in this game.The scores of the two teams have been anxious before, and they have not been opened.
The Grizzlies fans in the stands cheered thunderously. The ball was too hard. This is the second 2-pointer of the Grizzlies in this game. It was really too hard before.
In less than 1 minute at the end of the first quarter, neither team made any achievements.
首节结束，灰熊队以23:19领先，谢开得到8分2个篮板3次助攻1个抢断，表现依然十分稳定。
Yu Jia said: "Mr. Su, the strength of the Trail Blazers' second lineup is really far behind that of the starting lineup. I feel that as soon as they reach the rotation stage, they start to lose their combat effectiveness."
Su Qun said: "This is also a difficult problem for Coach Stotts. How to deploy the main players and connect with the second team is something he needs to think about. I think they need to dig internally without a deal. , if young people can play it, it can solve this problem."
At the beginning of the second quarter, the Trail Blazers made personnel adjustments. Matthews and French Pippen went off, and Thomas Robinson and CJ McCollum came on.
The Trail Blazers took the lead in attacking.Their current lineup on the court is a bit strange, with 3 insiders, two small guards, and no swingman.This has been the case in these few games. They do not have a substitute at position 3. Once French Pippen is off the court, there will be two power forwards Thomas Robinson and Darrell Wright on the court together in the transition period.
Steve Blake dribbles over and sets up the offense at the top of the key.
CJ McCollum was the No. 10 pick in the first round of last season. He is 191cm tall and plays a combo guard.He graduated from Lehigh University and was the first freshman to be named the best player of the year by the Patriot League. bit.
CJ didn't get too many opportunities last season. In 12.5 minutes of playing time per game, he averaged 5.3 points, 1.3 rebounds, 0.7 assists, 0.4 steals and 0.1 blocks per game.His efficiency is not high, shooting only 41.6% from the field, 3% from the 37.5-point range, but a bit miserable from the free throw line, only 67.6%.For a No. 10 pick, such a performance is not much bright.
As a combo guard, CJ's height is still a bit of a disadvantage. The height of 191 is facing the opponent's 2nd position. Except for Kaizi's AB, almost everyone else is taller than him.Moreover, his 191 physical fitness is not comparable to that of Westbrook, and his wingspan is also short. When blocking the opponent's shots, the disadvantage is natural.
But CJ can become the No. 10 pick, and he still has his advantages.His offense is solid, he has a quaint mid-range skill, and he can handle the ball without the ball. What he needs to improve is game experience and efficiency.
Because they played 3 inside, the Grizzlies shrank relatively small.
Blake Outside throws one -- and there it is!
At 23:21, the Grizzlies still lead by 2 points.
Udri dribbled the ball and gave it to Xie Kai.
Xie Kai faced CJ, gave the ball to Carter, and then turned his back to the right waist to get a position!Obviously, he was going to punch the second grader behind his back.
CJ was vying for the position with Xie Kai, but his body couldn't stand up to the opponent, so he chose to move forward.
Carter gave Xie Kai a lob, Xie Kai caught the ball in the air, turned around and walked in.
The Trail Blazers defended, Xie Kai threw the ball into the air——
Arthur jumped high, caught the ball with both hands, and slammed it hard into the basket!
Bang—The rim vibrated violently, and the strength of the ball was evident.
At 25:21, the Grizzlies extended their lead to 4 points again, thanks to the fourth personal assist of the game.
The Trail Blazers are attacking here, and Blake also wants to give an alley-oop to his teammates inside, but Thomas Robinson made a mistake when receiving the ball in the air, and the butter hand...
Grizzlies possession of the ball!
Thomas Robinson graduated from the University of Kansas and is Xie Kai's junior.He was selected by the Kings with the fifth overall pick in 2012 and entered the NBA.But after that, he was traded back and forth, and the Trail Blazers was his fourth team after entering the NBA.
His strengths and weaknesses are obvious, and his physical fitness is very good. As a power forward, his physical fitness is reminiscent of Kenyon Martin of the Nets Trident.But apart from his physical fitness, his brain and technique are not good enough.Especially the technique, as rough as the skin of an old lady in her 90s.
And with frequent team changes, no team really trains him well and helps him correct his bad habits.So now he seems to have been in the rotation, but there are no signs of improvement.For a player still on a rookie contract, this is fatal.
The Grizzlies continued to attack. Amidst the cheers of the audience, Xie Kai continued to play CJ with his back.
This time CJ didn't move forward, and Xie Kai received the ball smoothly.
Xie Kai sat on his back after receiving the ball.
CJ is one size smaller than Xie Kai, but he has a low center of gravity and good strength, so he is not vulnerable.
Xie Kai sat inside for a few times, made half-turned feints continuously, leaned against the opponent, turned around suddenly, and pulled out his hand...
CJ took some effort, and tried to use his strength to block it, but it was half a beat too late, not to mention the difference in bullet speed between the two with their height and wingspan.
Xie Kai made a steady jumper!
