Chapter 420 Three-party transaction
Becoming the leader of the team is one of Xie Kai's goals.He hopes to have a team with himself as the core and leader.
The black and white bears are the core of this team, and so is he. He is the core of the perimeter.When Zach Randolph is out, he is theoretically the only core on the team.
Bai Xiong's sister-in-law is excellent in defense. He is a team player and works hard. He is a very good puzzle piece to win the championship, allowing him to support a team's offense and defense. His hard power is not enough, especially on the offensive end.
From the contracts obtained by the White Bears and Xie Kai in the past offseason, we know which one is more important in the future structure of the team.
Xie Kai is not a person who likes to fight for the boss in the team. He wants to be the leader of the team, but he wants to use his ability to make everyone believe in him, instead of relying on being the main force of a small group to build a mountain.
Shortly after the end of the game with the Timberwolves, ESPN expert Mark Stern broke the news on his Twitter that a three-way deal was reached between the Philadelphia 76ers, Memphis Grizzlies and New Orleans Hornets.
The Grizzlies sent a second-round pick and got the 76ers power forward Speights.
Speights, who graduated from the University of Florida, was a rookie in 2008, and he was a rookie in the same class as Xie Kai and Arthur.He was selected by the 16ers with the 76th pick in the first round. He is 208cm tall and weighs 116kg. He is a strong inside player.
In the three seasons with the 76ers, Speights' performance lacked bright spots.Neither scoring nor rebounding was in double figures.Last season, he played 64 times for the team, averaging only 5.4 points and 3.3 rebounds per game.
This is why the No. 16 pick in the first round was only worth one second round.
The reason why the Grizzlies want Speights is not because he is so good, there is really no one at the 4th position.Substitute No. 4 Arthur is reimbursed for the season, and the main No. 4 Black Bear will be absent for at least one month.It's not possible to rely on Cunningham to win all over the world, right?
The reason why the Grizzlies are interested in Speights is firstly because he is cheap, secondly because he has physical strength and the team is really short of people, and thirdly because they still want to gamble with a small cost to see if this small lottery ticket can Prizes cannot be scratched out.After all, he is a young player, not yet 25 years old, and there is still room for growth.If it comes out, it must be profitable.
On January 1, the Grizzlies were a guest at the Highlands in Salt Lake City and challenged the Utah Jazz away.
This is still a defensive battle, and the level of defense is even worse than the previous one.It is unclear how many irons the two sides fought in the audience.
Anyway, what the fans heard the most was the sound of iron strikes.
In the end, the Jazz at home narrowly beat the Grizzlies with a score of 85:82, ending their opponent's three-game winning streak.
Xie Kai scored a game-high 25 points, but the team's offense could not be opened up, and finally suffered an away game.
On January 1, the Grizzlies visited the Staples Center Arena in Los Angeles to challenge the veteran Lakers.
The two teams were in the same boat last season, and were eliminated by the Mavericks one after another, becoming a stepping stone on the way to the championship.
Staples Center can be regarded as Xie Kai's second home stadium. He plays many games here every year, and his home in the United States is in Los Angeles.
Xie Kai's mother Chen Guixiang went to the stadium early to cheer for her son. If it is said who is the number one fan of God K, I believe that in his fan circle, Chen Guixiang will undoubtedly be elected easily.
The Lakers did not complete 3 consecutive championships last season, the core players in the team are one year older, and the team's core Kobe Bryant has been injured all the time, so their prospects for this season are not optimistic.
But even so, the attendance at the Staples Center is still gratifying, the lean camel is bigger than the horse, the Lakers are one of the favorites to win the championship no matter how old they are, and Kobe is still the top superstar in the league.
After being swept by the Mavericks in the playoffs last season, "Zen Master" Phil Jackson announced his retirement. In May, the team reached an agreement with former Cavaliers coach Mike Brown.The Lakers offered Brown a four-year, $5 million contract, and Mike Brown became the 1800nd head coach in the history of the Los Angeles Lakers.
That night, the Staples Center was crowded.Although this is just a very ordinary regular season, it still attracts a lot of fans' attention.
It's very simple, Xie Kai VS Kobe, this gimmick alone is enough to make those die-hard basketball fans want to stop.
Kobe is 34 years old, 10 years older than Xie Kai, but he is still young, and he was still the player of the best team last season.
Xie Kai was also selected to the best team last season, so this game can be regarded as a head-to-head confrontation between the two No. 2 stars of the best team.
Some experts regard Xie Kai as "Kobe's successor". Although the technical styles of the two are completely different, but in terms of potential and current ability, looking at the entire league, it seems that the younger generation is most likely to take over the No. 2 position. Kobe's mantle, that is, thank you.
And it is reported that Kobe has a very good evaluation of Xie Kai. He has praised him on many occasions and invited him to participate in his own private training camp.
You must know that Kobe is not a superstar who often praises young players, so from this perspective, he really appreciates Xie Kai.
Few Lakers fans hate Xie Kai.One is that the two teams have no grievances, and there is no life-and-death competition in the playoffs, so it has always been enjoyable; second, Xie Kai is a native of Los Angeles. Although he has made an appointment now, when his next contract expires, he will arrive just in time. In his peak period, by that time, Kobe will almost retire. The team can use the "hometown card" + "rich house card" to attract him to join and take over Kobe.
The Lakers, a giant team, don't really like the conventional way of cultivating rookies. They like to be simple and rude, and directly attract big-name superstars to join in the free market.
Over the huge Staples Center arena, there are more than N champion flags hanging over it.Whenever I see this, Xie Kai always has such a thought in his heart-I want to help the Grizzlies also get the championship banner!
There are many more Asian faces in the stands today, and many more fans wearing the No. 23 Grizzlies jersey.Obviously, most of these people came here for Xie Kai.
In the entire NBA league, only at the 2nd position, the popularity can suppress Xie Kai, that is Kobe.
Warming up before the game, Xie Kai accepted an interview with reporters.
"Kane, how do you feel about coming to the Staples game?" the reporter asked.
Xie laughed and said, "Very good. My home is in Long Beach, Los Angeles. Today, my mother and the others also came to watch my game live."
"I heard you are a Kobe fan, is that true?" the reporter asked.
Xie laughed and said: "I think there are very few young players who play shooting guards who don't admire Kobe. His skills and dedication to victory are what our young players need to learn."
