Chapter 908 Ushering in 9 consecutive victories
On December 12, the Thunder narrowly beat the Spurs at home, avenging their defeat on the road last month.After this game, the Thunder ushered in a 4-game winning streak.
After 7 consecutive victories, their record came to 20 wins and 2 losses, continuing to lead the league's 30 teams.
The Thunder team's record is advancing rapidly, while Xie Kai has always been ranked first in the regular season MVP rankings.Judging from his current performance and the team's record, no superstar in the entire league can match him.
On December 12, the Thunder defeated the Jazz at home and ushered in an 6-game winning streak.
Two days later, the Thunder was a guest in New York and played an away game against the Nets. They narrowly beat their opponents and ushered in a 9-game winning streak.
After 9 consecutive victories, the Thunder's record came to 22 wins and 2 losses, continuing to rank first in the league.
The Thunder's 22 wins and 2 losses are also the team's best record in the same period since its establishment.And their record is second only to the Warriors' amazing 73-win season.
The running-in of this team is getting better and better. The Big Three have a clear division of labor, role players perform their duties, and they are all healthy, and they have the league's second-best defense. The superstars harvest the game at critical moments, allowing their fault tolerance Scary high.
On December 12, the Thunder visited Memphis and played away against the Grizzlies.
After Xie Kai left, the Grizzlies began to enter a stage of inconsistency.They kicked off a season-ending season in 2015-16 and were swept in the eighth first round of the playoffs.They were seventh in the playoffs last season and were swept by the Thunder Gentlemen.
And this season, the Grizzlies lost Black Bear Randolph in the summer, coupled with the team's backcourt core Conley was injured and stopped, and the unstable strength of the second lineup made their record this season very poor. Ranked third from the bottom in the West, and only one win away from the second-to-last Mavericks.
The fans of the Grizzlies began to miss the era of Xie Kai and the black and white bears. Nowadays, almost no one said that Xie Kai hugged the thighs of the Grizzlies and the thighs of the black and white bears. Obviously, after leaving the Grizzlies, Xie Kai , helped the Thunder win Oklahoma City's first championship, and he also won a double MVP, while the Grizzlies are struggling.This fact clearly shows that Xie Kai is a historical superstar. With him, the team can have unlimited possibilities.
But everyone knows that Xie Kai will not return to the Grizzlies, at least not now, and in the future, it is very likely that he will not return.He may retire his jersey in the Grizzlies, but if he is still expected to wear a Grizzlies jersey one day in the future, it can only be realized in the game.
After Xie Kai left the Grizzlies, their management was a little hungry, and they actually used a big contract to sign the rich and handsome Parsons, a fraudulent waste.After the poor record last season, the boss is unwilling to pay the luxury tax to leave the 36-year-old Black Bear, so he can only let the team's meritorious veteran leave.
在今年的7月5日，萨克拉门托国王队宣布以2年2400万美元的合同签下黑熊兰多夫。。7月7日，灰熊官网发文感谢黑熊，并承诺将退役他的50号球衣。
The Grizzlies have never publicly stated that they have committed to retiring his No. 22 jersey. One is because he is still young, and the other is because the team has always hoped that he can go back and help the team regain its glory.So his No. 22 jersey, the team has never allowed any new players to wear it, that's why.
On the night of the 10th, at the Grizzlies FedEx Arena, a lot of honeys came all at once.When Xie Kai was still playing for the Grizzlies, the number of K honeys in Memphis was among the top 5 in the United States.
But after Xie Kai left, the K honey here went to the FedEx Arena to watch the game a lot less, but Xie Kai came back, and they all came back.
It's been a long time since this arena has such a high attendance rate, and it hasn't been so many fans wearing the No. 22 jersey in the arena for a long time.
Many Grizzlies fans lamented how great it would be if all this existed.Some people didn’t think that this team was completely uncompetitive without Xie Kaihui, but after two seasons, they found that without Xie Kai, they might still be a team that could compete for playoff tickets with the Shuangxiong and Conley The team, but when Xie Kai had two bears and only one, they couldn't even see the side of the playoff ticket.
You can only know how to cherish it when you lose it. This is indeed true.
Xie Kai has deep affection for this team and this city. Here, he became an All-Star, MVP, and won a championship.So this team has special meaning to me, but I need to grow up, get out of my comfort zone, and do other things.So in the summer of 2016, he knew it was time for him to leave.
The three championship banners hanging over the FedEx Arena are full of the sweat of Xie Kai and his teammates.It can be said that he is the biggest contributor to these three championships, which is not an exaggeration.
Seeing them, Xie Kai seemed to see his past self.
When Xie Kai walked into the arena and practiced, the cheers from the fans made him even temporarily forget that he was a player of the visiting team.This feeling is completely different from the Sleep Train arena he went to Saskatchewan.
This game was broadcast live on Tencent, with Wang Meng and Yang Yi responsible for the commentary.
Wang Meng said with a smile: "Xie Kai returned to Memphis, the fans still seem to support him very much!"
Yang Yi explained: "Xie Kai is the soul of this team and the founder of this team's dynasty. As long as he is not a sunspot, he will not deny his contribution to this team."
"Does Mr. Yang think the Grizzlies will retire Xie Kai's jersey?" Wang Meng asked.
Yang Yi nodded firmly: "Of course, sure and sure!"
"Then will he return to the Grizzlies in the future?" Wang Meng continued to ask.
Yang Yi smiled and said: "It's...it's hard to say, I don't think it will happen! Xie Kai has no reason to go back! He established a dynasty there, that's enough, there's no need to go back for that little bit of feelings. "
Wang Meng said: "Okay, there is still some time before the competition starts, let's enter a commercial first. Jissbon is ultra-thin..."
The starting lineups of the two sides were announced soon. The lineup of the Thunder team in the away game remains the same as before. It is still the Big Three + duck eggs + Patterson.
The starting lineup of the Grizzlies at home is: center-Marc Gasol, power forward-Jamiko Green, small forward-Andrew Harrison, shooting guard-Dillon Brooks.
Because Conley can't play, Tyreke Evans continues to start.
Except for the white bears, Xie Kai's starting lineup when he was in the team back then was completely changed.
The media predictions before the game, of course, overwhelmingly support the Thunder, which is currently number one in the league.No matter in terms of strength on paper or recent state, it is extremely difficult for the Thunder to lose to such a Grizzlies.
