Chapter 909 They are all acquaintances
Fans at FedEx Arena cheered thunderously, but it was hard to tell who they were rooting for.No player from the visiting team can have such a strong appeal in this field. Even Kobe, who retired from touring, can't compare to Xie Kai here.
This Grizzlies team is completely different from the one that Xie Kai was in before.Many unfamiliar faces, many familiar people are gone.
Conley was wearing a suit, joking with Xie Kai.He got a big contract, but his body has problems.Consecutive battles in the finals exhausted his body a lot. Fortunately, the injury was not serious and would not affect his future career.
Bai Xiong didn't talk much, he gave Xie Kai a bear hug, and didn't say much, everything was kept silent.
In addition to the old Grizzlies, Xie Kai also met a few old acquaintances in this Grizzlies team.One is his teammate Chalmers at the NCAA University of Kansas, and the other is his teammate Evans during the Kings period.
Chalmers came to the Grizzlies through a trade on November 2015, 11. At that time, Xie Kai had already been reimbursed for the season and was recuperating from injuries, so the two were not able to continue their relationship here.
Chalmers, who is over 30 years old, naturally can no longer reproduce his performance in the Heat, and it is difficult to return to the starting lineup.But he also has a ring. He was the starter of the winning team. Apart from not getting a big contract, his career is considered complete.His mentality is also quite good, joking with Xie Kai, he already has a kind of senior who is about to retire enjoying the rush of the game in the later stages of his career.
As for Evans, Xie Kai still has no verbal communication with him, he no longer hates him, it has been too long, and the two are no longer from the same world.To put it more bluntly, Evans is not qualified to be compared with Xie Kai.
Evans has suffered intermittent injuries since he was traded to the Pelicans. He underwent arthroscopic surgery on his right knee in October 2015 and was sidelined for nearly two months.On February 10, 2016, he underwent surgery for a knee injury and was out for the season.
For a heavy guard who mainly breaks through with the ball, the knee injury has a great impact on his explosive power and speed.Therefore, in the few seasons of the Pelicans, Evans' attendance rate was not high, and his state was greatly affected.
The Pelicans management finally gave up on him. In the deal about Cousins, he returned to the Kings.Subsequently, the team gave up.
On July 7 this year, the Grizzlies and Evans signed a one-year contract worth $11 million.
Obviously, this is a short contract, and the total salary is about the same as the basic salary.
Evans is only 28 years old, and he hasn't reached the point where he can live with the basic salary. He wants to use this season to prove himself again and win a bigger and longer contract.
And the Grizzlies also use Evans as a mercenary. Anyway, the contract is small, even if they don't play well, the loss is not big.
There were two young backcourt players in Saskatchewan back then, one became a man chasing Goat, and the other is currently holding a basic salary and working hard for the next contract.The disparity between the circumstances of the two is so great that it is embarrassing.
Xie Kai thinks back to those years, and is very glad to be sent away by the king. The management of this team is a mystery, the management is chaotic, there is no long-term plan, and the operation is blind. It has been rebuilding for so many years and has never made the playoffs. everything.
The Grizzlies also made a big adjustment a few weeks ago. Because of the poor record, they fired coach David Fizdale and appointed ** Bickerstaff as the team's new coach.
The two foreign giants, Bai Xiong and Duck Dan, are preparing to jump the ball near the middle circle, and the game is about to start.
The attendance rate of the scene is extremely high, and there are many people, so the atmosphere is naturally better.
The jump ball started, and the duck jump ball won the white bear who didn't even jump, and the game officially started.
Westbrook slowly dribbled over and organized an offense at the top of the arc.Now he has a good harvest in his love and career, and he is still full of passion in playing, but he rarely gets ahead.Some people say that it is because he has grown up and matured, while others say that he is "close to Zhu Zhechi" and is influenced by Xie Kai.
But one thing is for sure, Westbrook, who doesn't fight blindly, is a nightmare for opponents and a fierce general who can attack cities and villages.
It wasn't Evans who opened the defense, but Dillon Brooks.
This Dillon is not Hong Kong movie star Dillon, he is Canadian, graduated from the University of Oregon, 198cm tall, 21 years old this year.
Dillon is a second-round pick. He had good statistics in college, but his physical talent is average, coupled with his age, he is not favored in the draft.
After being traded to the Grizzlies, Dillon played well in summer league and the preseason.You can hardly see the potential to become a super giant in him, but he is experienced in playing, solid in defense, and has a good foundation. He is a very good immediate combat power.
The Grizzlies are currently playing on the flanks because of the garbage of Gao Fushuai, and are extremely short of people, which also gives Dillon a lot of opportunities to play.In the past 20-plus games, he has averaged double-digit points per game and is active in defense, giving the team a surprise of finding a baby.
Dillon is only 21 years old, he is a junior rookie, but he looks older than Xie Kai...
Dillon's defense is very experienced, unlike some talented young people who like to attack, and he is not like Gouqi who is unwilling to exert physical strength on the defensive end. He is willing to spend energy on the defensive end and uses various methods to defend Xie Kai. Starting without the ball, one step never leaves, like a shadow.
For the Thunder, Pickle left wing hit Andrew Harrison with the ball and missed a jumper!
The white bear closed the board and handed it over to Evans to advance.
Evans came over with the ball and gave it to the White Bears in the high position.
Bai Xiong supported him from a high position and handed Dillon his hand.
Dillon holds the ball and breaks through Jamako Green in the corner.
Green broke through and then gave the ball to Andrew Harrison, who missed a jumper!
The duck eggs are closed!
Wang Meng said: "Which one is the main offensive point of the Grizzlies?"
Yang Yi said with a smile: "It should be Gasol and Evans! They probably don't have a clear main point of attack. Whoever feels good will play more. Originally, Conley was here, so he was considered a main point of attack."
Dillon defended Xie Kai very well, and it was difficult for the latter to receive the ball easily.
Wang Meng sighed: "This rookie is really not simple, he is so explosive! Look at his defense is really sophisticated! Is this really a rookie?"
Yang Yi smiled and said, "It doesn't mean that someone who looks a little more mature will be older. Have you ever heard of a baby face? How old is Anthony? He looks very young! Hahaha..."
For the Thunder team, Xie Kai finally received the ball. He took the ball to the left wing, was pinched by the help defense and played the ball. Patterson missed a 3-pointer!
The Polar Bears continued to close.
On the Grizzlies side, Andrew Harrison scored the White Bear under the basket, and the latter did not force a hook!
The duck eggs are collected.
