Chapter 273 See you once a month
At the press conference after the game, Grizzlies coach Lionel Hollins said in an interview with reporters: "Kane is the biggest contributor to our victory in the away game. He can boo all over the sky in the away game. I have to take my hat off to him for what he did."
After the match, doubts about Xie Kai's strength suddenly disappeared a lot.
Because of this, Xie Kai also understood that in a league where the jungle is prey to the jungle like the NBA, the best way to face doubts is not to argue with reason, but to crush them with practical actions.In the face of strength, many prejudices or doubts will become vulnerable.
This game also made Xie Kai's fans even bigger. The NBA believes in the strong and worships individual heroism.His story is compelling enough, and it's really cool to break out of a situation where everyone is against me.
The debate about "Who is better, Xie Kai or Mayo", at least for now, should come to an end.Whether it's personal performance or matchup performance, the former beats the latter.
Even Charles Barkley, who looked down on Xie Kai the most, said when he was a guest on a funny TV show: "Although I don't like Kane Xie, I didn't like it before, and I still don't like it now. I still think he has no chance. It is even more impossible to become an All-Star or a superstar. But I still have to say that OJ is far behind Kane, and the two are not at the same level of players.”
When a reporter told Xie Kai what Barkley said, Xie Kai said with a smile: "I don't care what other people say, what Charles wants to say is his freedom, I don't care what he says What exactly is the content."
After defeating the Kings in an away game, the Grizzlies ended their 3-game losing streak and their record came to 3 wins and 4 losses, only 5 game away from the 1% winning percentage.
On November 11, the Kings will return home to face the Phoenix Suns.
The two teams played against each other on the 6th of this month. In that game, the Grizzlies lost to each other away.Back at home in this campaign, they naturally don't want to lose to each other again.
Before the game started, Xie Kai received a call from Zhou Jing.
"What's wrong?" Xie Kai asked.
"I'm not happy—" Zhou Jing dragged out the ending, expressing her inner displeasure.
"Don't you like the gift?" November 11th is Zhou Jing's birthday, and Xie Kai sent someone to deliver a gift yesterday.
"Oh—others' boyfriends are very romantic, and their gifts are also unique. Your gift is too tacky—" Zhou Jing dragged on the end of the sentence again.
Xie Kai's gift was an exquisite necklace, not too expensive, but still a bit expensive.He also knew that Zhou Jing didn't really like expensive things that much, but when the two started dating, various holidays, the choice of presents alone made him scratch his head.
"If you don't like it, I won't give gifts in the future!" Xie Kai said deliberately and solemnly.
"How dare you—oh, not happy!" Zhou Jing still seemed not in a good mood.
"Okay, okay, I promise you a little wish, do you think it's okay?"
"It's okay—hehe, don't you regret it?"
"At any rate, I'm a person worth more than a million dollars. Although I'm not an emperor, I still don't regret it!"
"Actually, my wish is very simple. You only need to spend one day with me every month of the year." Zhou Jing said cautiously.
These words hit Xie Kai's weak heart, it turned out that what she wanted was not material enjoyment, but just company.
"I promise you, no matter how busy I am every month, I will meet you at least once!" Xie Kai said firmly.
"Okay, it's a deal!" Zhou Jing's mood was obviously much higher.
"A word is settled!"
After comforting his girlfriend, Xie Kai is ready for the game against the Suns tonight.
That night, the Grizzlies will host the Suns at FedEx Arena.
Today's attendance rate is very good. The team played a beautiful turnaround in the last game, which encouraged the fans. Everyone is looking forward to the team's prospects this season.
The Suns ranked third in the West with a record of 54 wins and 28 losses last season, but they were swept by the Spurs in the second round of the playoffs, which was quite embarrassing.
This season, the team's main force is one year older. The core of the team, Steve Nash, is 36 years old. How much fuel is left in the tank? It's hard to believe that he can still perform as he did at his peak.
The Suns have played 6 games so far this season, with 3 wins and 3 losses.They are not the favorites to win the championship, and it can even be said that the window to win the championship has not been opened.
But the team is also very difficult to manage. With such a lineup, it would be somewhat wasteful to play poorly, and it would also chill the heart of the veteran.In the context of the utilitarian "winning the championship" in the entire league, that kind of team that can't get up or down looks more miserable than a bad team, at least the team's management thinks so.
In this game, the starting lineup of the Grizzlies at home is: center-Marc Gasol, power forward-Zach Randolph, small forward-Rudy Gay, shooting guard-Xie Open, point guard -- Mike Conley.
The starting lineup of the Grizzlies is the second time this season, and the power of this lineup has been initially revealed in the last game.The Kings' starting lineup was overwhelmed.The advantage of this lineup is that there are no obvious weaknesses and the offense and defense are balanced.
The starting lineup of the Suns in the away game is: center - Robin Lopez, power forward - Hedo Turkoglu, small forward - Grant Hill, shooting guard - Jason Richard Sen, point guard - Steve Nash.
Robin Lopez, like Xie Kai, was drafted in 08. He was the 15th pick in the first round.He played center like his twin brother Brook Lopez.The two are very similar in appearance and body shape, but their playing styles are indeed very different.Brook is good at offense, while Robin is better at defense.
The overall age of the Suns lineup is too old. Except for Robin Lopez who is a young guy, the youngest other is the former slam dunk king Richardson, but he is almost 30 years old.
A comparison of the lineups of the two teams shows the youth and potential of the Grizzlies.Randolph, the oldest black bear in their team, is several months younger than Richardson!
In this game, the Grizzlies, who are playing at home, naturally hope to succeed in revenge. The last time they played against each other, the Grizzlies were away.
The commentators for this game are Kevin Harlan and Reggie Miller.
"Reggie, this home court in Memphis is much more lively than last season!" Kevin Harlan laughed.
"Memphis looks stronger this season!" laughs Reggie Miller.
Kevin Harlan said meaningfully: "Is it because Kane is here?"
Reggie Miller said: "The arrival of Kane should be one of the reasons, and other young people in their team have also grown up."
