Chapter 630 Xie Kai's Basketball Philosophy
Walan hit the white bear with his back, and two European big men fought in the low position, which made the audience feel a little "full of love".The big European guy has thick hair, and both of them are center forwards. The white bear is facing the back of Walan. The picture is indeed a bit weird.
Walan made a hook shot—stumbling in!After scoring the goal, he also looked very excited, and he clenched his fists to demonstrate to his big brother Bai Xiong.
Varan was the No. 2011 pick in the first round in 5, and he is only 21 years old this year, with great potential in the future.His style of play is the traditional style of European insiders, with the main back and back, and his footwork, strength and size are all his advantages.
Conley dribbles over, and Xie Kai cuts out from the weak side to catch the ball.
Xie Kai holds the ball, and the white bear comes up to cover!
The Raptors went to the flank, Xie Kai gave the ball to the White Bears!
The Raptors don't care about the White Bear, allowing him to have open shots in the high post!
The White Bears didn't make a shot, and rushed inside with the ball, while the Raptors made up rotations!
The White Bears missed a layup, and Gay grabbed a backcourt rebound and advanced with the ball himself.
Gay faced the old prince with the ball, made a sudden stop and made a jump shot—almost!
The Black Bears took the backcourt rebound and handed it to Conley to advance.
Kevin Harlan said: "Toronto used a pincer attack on Kane. I don't know if they planned to deal with him like this before the game!"
Steve Kerr said: "It may be that when Kane wants to cover, Toronto's big man will help DeMar to help defend. After all, the two big men they start are not moving fast, and the switch or delay may be blocked. Kane took his chance."
The Grizzlies continued their offense, this time with the Black Bears playing Amir Johnson in the post.
Amir Johnson is only 206 tall, but weighs 110kg. He is an insider with a low center of gravity and is very good at top defense.
If it was the black bear in the finals of last season, he would naturally not take him seriously.You must know that Haslem, who was also a stocky insider at the time, was almost out of the shadow by him.
But this season's black bears, at least for now, have not fully recovered their previous state. In addition, they are one year older, and the decline in their competitive state is also the fault of Old Man Time.
Sure enough, when the opponent made a fierce header, the black bear also hit the basket's neck, and the ball almost couldn't come down.
Varan received the rebound and the Raptors attacked.
The Raptors' offensive speed is not fast, and their two inside speeds are not necessarily faster than the Grizzlies.Even Gay and DeRozan on the wings are not particularly fond of or good at fast breaks.
Here Guy uses the pick-and-roll to hit the black bear in a misplaced position, and hits a jumper with an emergency stop!
The Raptors lead 4:0 at the start!
Although the Grizzlies fans in the stands are not worried, they are still a little worried about the team's slow heat from time to time since the beginning of the season.
For the Grizzlies, Xie Kai didn't have a jumper either!
The Raptors received the backcourt rebounds and counterattacked. Lowry made a sudden layup and caused the old prince's help defense foul!
Lowry made a free throw!
There was a timeout on the sidelines, of course the Grizzlies called it.
The game lasted for almost 2 minutes, but the Grizzlies still had nothing to gain. Facing the opponent's flanking and emptying, neither Xie Kai nor the White Bears were able to seize the opportunity.
The Grizzlies certainly don't want to lose, especially at home.They are the defending champions, and they are proud. If they lose at home to a team that didn't make it to the playoffs last season, they still can't hold back their face.
Of course, the game has just begun, and it is still too early to say the outcome.
Back from the timeout, Lowry continued to go to the free throw line, made the second free throw, and the Raptors led 2:6!
Conley dribbled over, used the screen, and gave it to the White Bears!
The White Bears played the pivot at a high position, and Xie opened an off-ball screen to look for opportunities.
DeRozan's defense is not bad when he is serious, his physical fitness is still very good, and he will not suffer when confronting Xie Kai.
Xie Kai still found a chance to catch the ball. After catching the ball, he turned from three threats to a breakthrough, lowered his center of gravity and turned to cut in!
Here Amir Johnson came to help defend, Xie Kai suddenly jumped and passed between the two!
Wa Lan under the basket is the last line of defense, he can only foul to stop Xie Kai from attacking the frame!
The Grizzlies fans in the stands exclaimed, and sighed for the extraordinary team that Xie Kai just now.Xie Kai had several chances to pass the ball just now, but he didn't pass it, but chose to attack personally. In some previous games, some of them did not conform to his basketball logic.
Kevin Harlan said with a smile: "Kane played the ball resolutely enough, it's not like his style of play."
Steve Kerr nodded and said: "Many people now have a view that Kane is playing more and more reasonably now, a bit like LeBron, not like Kobe or Jordan."
"Does that mean he lacks killer instinct?" Kevin Harlan asked with a smile.
Steve Kerr nodded, then shook his head again: "Kane is not soft at critical moments, everyone is just discussing his basketball philosophy."
Xie Kai stood on the free throw line and made two free throws steadily, helping the team get the first point of the game.
The Raptors attacked here, and Lowry hit the basket and caused a foul by the Black Bear!
Lowry made two free throws again, and the Raptors led 7:2!
Seeing the frequent killings of the small steel cannon here, the Grizzlies fans are naturally a little unconvinced, and some feel regretful. It would be great if this steel cannon is still there.
Looking back from the Grizzlies side, the old prince made a pass error...
Looking back, Gay made an emergency stop and hit a jumper again, opening the point difference to 9:2!
The home team fans in the stands are not calm anymore, some of them are already booing Guy.
Gay was also unambiguous, he made a "shut up" gesture, provoking the fans at the scene.
Kevin Harlan said: "Rudy's performance so far in this game is much better than that of last season. It seems that he has come out of his demons."
"It was a good game, and I don't think there's any need to worry about the news material after the game." Steve Kerr laughed.
The Grizzlies seem to have continued the bad state of losing to the Pacers in the last game. They missed outside shots and made many inside turnovers.On the contrary, the Raptors played very confidently, dared to play and make moves, and the score has always been leading.
After half a quarter, Xie Kai was replaced by teammate Tony Allen.
After Xie Kai left the field, the Grizzlies' offensive end became even more lacking in attack power, and the opponent also shrunk the defense line even smaller.
But fortunately, Tony Allen's strong defense also somewhat limited the fiery former teammate Guy, and the score gap did not widen much.
With 1 minute and 49 seconds left at the end of the first quarter, Xie Kai went into battle again. At this time, the score on the field was 22:14, and the Grizzlies at home were 8 points behind.
Gay is still on the court, and the rest of the Raptors are: Hansbrough, Terrence Ross, Aaron Gray and Dwight Backers.
