Chapter 567
"I must hang a flag like this on our home court!" Xie Kai said suddenly.Arthur next to him was a little surprised, but understood in seconds.
If Xie Kai does not have such determination, then it is not Xie Kai.
When Arthur and Xie Kai were teammates at the University of Kansas, he was very surprised by this Chinese teammate, because this Chinese teammate had particularly lofty ideals.
At that time, Arthur couldn't agree with why this Asian with ordinary physical fitness could have such lofty ideals. In his opinion, it would be good if you could enter the NBA.But now it seems that Xie Kai is slowly realizing his ideal.And he himself became a witness.
The starting players of both sides greeted briefly, and the game is about to start.
Splitter and the White Bears prepare a jump ball near center and the game is about to begin.
The cheers at the scene were loud, and the battle was about to break out.
At the start of the jump ball, Splitter gave the ball to Leonard, and the Spurs got the first wave of offensive possession.
The French sports car Parker slowly dribbled over, and Duncan mentioned the high position to respond.
The Grizzlies let the White Bears, who are better defensively, play against Dumber, and let the Black Bears play against the blue-collar Splitter.
"Popovich likes the configuration of double insiders. Their defensive priority is to protect the basket. Splitter's role is to help Duncan block bullets and do the dirty work!" Yang Yi explained.
The Grizzlies' defensive intensity is very strong, and the level of physical confrontation is great as soon as it comes up.
The Spurs didn't find a chance here. Parker made a single shot and made a jumper with an emergency stop-hit the iron!
The Black Bears received the backcourt rebound and gave it to Conley to dribble across halftime.
Yang Jian sighed: "The Grizzlies are serious when they come up!"
Yang Yi said with a smile: "This is the attitude of the Grizzlies in the game. When they come up, they will play hard with you and not play falsely. This game may be more tragic."
Conley dribbles over and runs the offense at the top of the arc.
Defensively opened is guard Danny Green, who graduated from North Carolina.
丹尼·格林自从被波波维奇挖掘后，代替了妖刀成为这支马刺队的首发2号位。他的3D属性让这支重视防守的球队相当舒服，上赛季他首发了38场，在场均23.1分钟的上场时间里，场均可以得到9.1分3.5个篮板1.3次助攻1个抢断，3分球命中率可以达到43.6%。
This season, in the 80 games he played, he started all the games, his average playing time rose to 27.5 minutes, he averaged 10.5 points, 3.1 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.2 steals per game, and his 3-point shooting percentage remained the same. Above 40%, it was 42.6%.
His role on the court is to defend, then run tactics, hit those open jumpers, that's all.He was born in the academy because of his age, physical fitness and mediocre offense, so he fell to the second half of the second round before he was selected. Unexpectedly, he met the Bole of the Spurs and made him indispensable to the team. a part of.
Danny Green's defense is very good. Anticipation, awareness, positioning and movement are enough to defend most of the league's No. 2 positions.
Bobo is really a master figure in tapping the potential of players. Danny Green was almost crippled by bread in the Cavaliers. Fortunately, he came to the Spurs and got a chance to be reborn.Otherwise, he might really be abandoned by the league.
Xie Kai didn't run out of opportunities, and Conley, who is known for his stability, didn't dare to take the risk of passing the ball, but distributed the ball to the high-posted White Bear.
The White Bear made an inside pass and gave the ball to the Black Bear, but the ball was destroyed by Splitter half-circling forward!
Leonard steals the ball and counterattacks, and distributes it to the old sports car Parker in the middle.
The old sports car directly starts the turbo, and the speed is really not inferior to those young sports cars in the alliance.
The Grizzlies returned to defense quickly, and the two sides competed for speed in a short period of time.
There is no chance for the old sports car, and I will give it to Danny Green who will follow up!
Danny Green faced Xie Kai and shot a 3-pointer directly-short!
The old prince accepted the backcourt rebound and handed it to Xie Kai who was beside him.
Xie Kai slowly came over with the ball.
Danny Green did not lead the defense all over the court. His defense is not biting and winding like AB and Beverly. He prefers to maintain his position and use his body and consciousness to defend.Of course, he has a height of 198cm, and AB and Beverly want to guard against players who are taller than themselves, and sometimes they have to do it as a last resort.
Xie Kai held the ball, and some Spurs fans in the stands booed.Obviously, they don't like this Chinese player.Of course, it's not because of his poor quality of the game, but because he is too threatening to the home team.
Xie Kai dribbled to the right, and Bai Xiong came out to cover.
The consistent strategy of the Spurs against pick-and-rolls is to delay.The advantage of delay is that it is not like being misplaced by the opponent like switching defenses, and it is not easy to miss people like flanking.
But why do many teams prefer to switch defenses and sometimes don't want to advertise delays?Because the delayed return requires a high degree of tacit understanding of the defender, and the defender cannot be a colander, and the movement cannot be too slow.
Although Daidai is 37 years old, his movement is not slow. He and Danny Green are the gates of the team's inside and outside lines, and their defensive ability and awareness are absolutely leveraged.
Xie Kai didn't find any opportunities for misalignment, and he didn't stick to the ball, so he immediately lobbed the ball to the black bear in the low post.
The black bear raped Splitter, one was fat, the other was tall, and the two fought hand-to-hand in the low position!
The Spurs' defense is very flexible, and when the Black Bear squeezes into a deep position inside, Dadai will immediately come over to help defend!
The black bear barely attacked, but was defended by two opponents!
Parker gets the ball and dribbles over by himself.
Parker and Daidai cooperated with the pick-and-roll to score Splitter under the basket!
Split forcibly attacked the frame, and was squeezed by the black bear and lost his center of gravity-almost missed!
Xie Kai accepted the rebound and passed a pass to the old prince who was going down the court.
The Spurs returned to defense quickly, but the old prince didn't get a chance and returned the ball to Xie Kai.
On the Grizzlies side, the White Bears received Conley's point and made a jump shot near the free throw line!
On the Spurs side, Kawhi Leonard walks on the drive...
The two teams have been playing for a while, but no one has scored, and the score is still 0:0!
Sitting in the BJ CCTV studio, Yang Jian sighed: "This is really the playoffs. After so many votes, one of them didn't make it!"
Yang Yi said with a smile: "The two teams know each other too well. They just don't let you play what you are good at. The Grizzlies play with their bodies when they come up. This stuff can easily affect the feel!"
The first quarter of the game lasted more than 3 minutes and 40 seconds, and the two sides still did not pause.Bobo's gray beard on the sidelines is almost blowing up, which shows that he is still a little dissatisfied with the performance of the players.He finally asked for a timeout, and needed to arrange it with the tactical board.
Both sides consumed a lot of physical energy, and after only playing for a while, the players were already soaked.
Xie Kai didn't feel good either, making 2 of 0 shots and only getting 1 rebound.
