Chapter 681 The Semifinals Begin
Xie Kai won the MVP, Westbrook sent a congratulatory message, and dissed Beverly: "Hey, this is the MVP you want to solve in the semifinals, are you preparing for the game now?"
Beverley immediately fired back: "Neither you nor Kane can beat me!"
The next K honey immediately yelled at Beverly: "They can't beat you in the next fishing competition! Garbage, let's go to the nightclub with your bearded brother to see big asses!"
I thought "Professional Xie Hei" Charles Barkley would calm down a bit, but he said to Kenny Smith on TNT: "I don't think it is reasonable for Kane Xie to get the MVP of this season. This award should go to KD .KD deserves this award even more!"
Kenny Smith smiled and said: "Charles, I know you don't like Kane, KD performed very well, but Memphis is the number one in the league!"
Barkley quibbles: "KD carried the team forward alone when Russell Westbrook was injured. His teammates gave him much less help than Kane. He is the real MVP!"
As soon as Barkley's remarks came out, some retired celebrities immediately came out to help Xie Kai speak."Glider" Drexler, who wears the No. 22 jersey like Xie Kai, said in an interview: "Charles is questioning the NBA's MVP selection mechanism. This is really funny. Can I say that he won Is that MVP of yours also a problem?"
There was a lot of discussion from the outside world, Xie Kai didn't care at all, his mind was on the semifinals with the Clippers.
On the evening of May 5, FedEx Arena.
Before the start of the game, Xie Kai's jerseys with MVP printed on them were sold out in an instant.The jerseys are actually made, and the merchants are actually at risk. Once Xie Kai does not get the MVP, these jerseys can only be sold at a discount, and the discount cannot be low, otherwise they will not be sold at all.
So the merchants had the foresight, and they seized the business opportunity.
Tickets for this game are naturally a rarity. The Grizzlies' semifinals opener + Xie Kai's MVP night is exciting.
Chen Guixiang and other K honey team arrived at the scene early, and all of them put on special jerseys with Xie Kai MVP printed on them.The game has not yet started, and the atmosphere on the scene has already been created early.
Home team locker room.
The players of the Grizzlies are still very relaxed. If the Mavericks have never won in the playoffs and are still a little worried, then the Clippers have indeed beaten them.However, they did not underestimate the enemy. The strength of the Clippers is there, and it can be regarded as one of the strongest teams in the West.
During the practice before the game, the shouts of MVP sounded from time to time.Xie Kai was still very calm, warming up and shooting, without any hesitation.
Arthur smiled and touched Xie Kai with his elbow, and asked with a smile: "They are calling MVP, are you excited?"
Xie Kai shook his head: "It's okay, didn't they shout before?"
"That's right!" Arthur suddenly realized that when Xie Kai hadn't decided to win the MVP, even last season, there were already fans calling him MVP during the game.
The match was broadcast live on CCTV5, and the host Yu Jia and the guest Yang Yi were responsible for the commentary.
Yu Jia smiled and said, "Yang Yi, what do you think of Xie Kai winning the MVP?"
Yang Yi curled his lips, and then said with a smile: "This is what everyone expects! Hahaha..."
"But Barkley said that Durant is more worthy of this MVP!" Yu Jia continued.
Yang Yi laughed and said, "If it were some other retired NBA star who said this, everyone would still discuss it. Barkley said, that's... you know!"
Yu Jia smiled: "Let's talk about this game, do you think the Clippers have a chance to win the Grizzlies away?"
Yang Yi shook his head slightly: "There is a chance, but the chance is not great. The strongest weapon of the Clippers is the pick-and-roll of Paul and Griffin, but when facing the Grizzlies with black and white bears, Griffin and Jordan's inside line Height advantage, jumping confrontation advantage is difficult to play. This is one! The second is that no one is against Xie Kai! This is not Xie Kai two years ago, this is the new MVP! Who do you use to defend? Lei Dick or Baye? Single defense is useless! No one in the bench lineup is right for him. We know that the playoffs are very particular about matchups. If you have no one for Xie Kai, it means that he can use his influence. This round of confrontation may lose suspense."
"Where is the hope for the Clippers?" Yu Jia asked.
Yang Yi said: "I hope that with Griffin, you can't ask Paul to do more. He has to be responsible for the organization. If he is also the main attacker, it will exhaust him. If Griffin can play against the old black bear Lan Dove has the upper hand in the duel, and there are still fights in the series."
In this game, the starting lineup of the Grizzlies at home is the same as in the first round.
The starting lineup of the Clippers for the away game is: center - DeAndre Jordan, power forward - Blake Griffin, small forward - Matt Barnes, shooting guard - JJ Ray Dick, point guard -- Chris Paul.
The Clippers' lineup is also very stable, and this starting lineup is the one they used the most in the regular season.
Another team in Los Angeles, the Clippers emerged as the best NBA team in the city after the Lakers fell behind.Although many Los Angeles fans still don't like them, it is true that they are stronger than the Lakers now, they play better, and their lineup structure is younger and more competitive.
The starting players from both sides appeared on the field, and the game started quickly.
Jordan Jr. and the Ice Bear jump ball.
The referee threw the ball into the air, but the white bear didn't jump at all, yes, he gave up!
Jordan's vertical jumping ability is considered the top among the centers in the league. The white bear's matchbox-like jumping ability, multiplied by 10, may not be able to jump over the opponent.
CP3 slowly dribbles over.
Paul is currently the strongest point guard in the league. He is only 183cm, but in terms of point guard's defensive ability, he is considered the top.So sometimes don't keep talking about height. Tony Allen is only 193cm, so he can still defend 211 Durant.
Duanfen came up to cover, and CP3 used the rhythm to distribute the ball to Ba Ye in the bottom corner.
Ba Ye was interfered by the long arm of the old prince, did not find a chance to play the ball, and returned the ball to Paul.
Xie Kai was responsible for defending Redick, who was constantly running around, looking for opportunities to make calls.As a white shooter with a height of 193cm and ordinary physical fitness, he can start in a team of the Clippers level by relying on his precise shooting ability.
Redick graduated from Duke University and was selected by the Magic with the 2006th overall pick in the 11 draft. On July 2013, 7, the Clippers reached a three-way trade agreement with the Bucks and the Suns, sending Eric Bledsoe and Caron Batron, and getting Jared Dudley and Redick (sign first and then change) .
