Chapter 590 Imagining the Championship
After two days of training in Memphis, the Grizzlies headed to the Denver Plateau for Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals.
Denver is an incorporated city and county in the U.S. state of Colorado, and it is also the capital and largest city of the state of Colorado.The altitude here reaches 1609 meters, which is a standard plateau city.
There are not many plateau cities in the NBA, Denver counts as one, and Salt Lake City counts as one.Many teams come to the plateau to play away games, and there will be some ups and downs. In the final analysis, it is because the air pressure here is low, and basketball is strenuous exercise, so the players will have difficulty breathing.
Of course, the Denver Plateau is nothing compared to China's Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, so although it has some impact on the players, it will not cause serious altitude sickness.
Xie Kai is very used to the climate here. In the previous offseason, he came here several times for secret special training.
In an interview with the media, when asked about the personal performance issues that have been talked about recently, Xie laughed and said: "I don't pay attention to these, I have closed social media. Let's talk about it after the series is over. My attention now is It's all in the game."
Xie Kai did not lie, he has indeed temporarily shut down his personal social media, except for contacting his family, teammates and friends, he hardly surfs the Internet.
People's energy and attention are limited, and too much energy on the Internet will definitely affect the game.This is the trade-off. Xie Kai feels that the most important thing for him right now is not to go online to fight those black people and trolls, nor to argue with the keyboard man. Once into the finals.
After training at the Denver training ground, Xie Kai and Arthur went to eat together.The two simply ate some bread, chicken breast, and fresh vegetables. As for high-calorie drinks, they didn't drink, nor did they drink alcohol.
This is already the fifth season of Xie Kai's NBA career, and this is also the second time in his career to reach the division finals, and this time, he has a better chance of reaching the finals than last time.
"It's the fifth year, Kane, we've been out of school for five years!" Arthur suddenly said with emotion.
Xie Kai nodded and smiled: "Are you trying to say that we have graduated for five years?"
Arthur replied in surprise: "Yeah, I almost made a mistake. We didn't graduate, so we left school early."
Xie laughed and said, "The NBA is much bigger than the real stage of the NCAA, but I still miss the days when Coach Bill taught us tactics in Kansas."
Arthur agreed: "I also miss it very much, we are also considered complete, and won the championship that year!"
Xie Kai suddenly asked: "Darrell, do you think we have a chance to win the championship this year?"
Arthur turned his head to look at Xie Kai, and he saw the light in the other's eyes: "I should be able to enter the finals, the championship, there is hope!" When he said this, the first half of the sentence was quite confident, but The second half of the sentence seems somewhat lacking in confidence.Yes, if nothing else, the opponent in the finals will be the defending champion Miami Heat with the Big Three. Can the Grizzlies, the first-timer in the finals, withstand it?
Xie Kai saw that Arthur was a little uncertain and unconfident, he smiled and said: "Darrell, we will win the championship this year, I have this feeling! Moreover, I will go all out to fight for it. Time to need your help!"
Xie Kai's words gave Arthur confidence immediately. He has a passive personality and needs to be led, and Xie Kai is the one he is willing to help.The two are like teammates, and like brothers, they are no longer just teammates.Since Xie Kai said he could, then he definitely can. This guy can really do anything. He never thought that he could gain a foothold in the NBA. The league superstar almost won the regular season MVP this season.
If it was said by others, Arthur would not believe it, but from Xie Kai's mouth, Arthur would not doubt it.
champion?Oh, buy Karma, I dare not think about it, I dare not think about it.Arthur thinks that if he really wins the championship, he will be a member of the NCAA and NBA double champions. He has already surpassed most active or retired players in the league. Even if he retires immediately, he will have no regrets in his career. up.
On the evening of May 5th, Denver Pepsi Center Arena.
The Pepsi Center Arena, which can accommodate 20010 people, ushered in the first game of the Western Conference finals played here.The team distributed a blue T-shirt to all the fans present, and the scene suddenly became a blue ocean.
Track and field fans also know how important this game is to the home team. It is basically "Win or go home". No one wants to go fishing, at least not now. Everyone wants to play until June, and everyone wants to kiss the Olympic Games. Brian Cup.
In this game, the Nuggets, which had lost two consecutive games, began to change. They removed the starting center JaVale McGee, who performed poorly in the first two games, and replaced him with a better defensive and more down-to-earth center Costa McGee. Kufoss.
毕业于俄亥俄州立大学的库佛斯也是08年的新秀，他在首轮第23顺位被爵士队选中。2011年2月22日，在尼克斯、掘金、森林狼三队涉及13人的大交易中，他被交易至丹佛掘金队。
去年的1月26日，库佛斯和掘金队达成一份为期3年价值900万美元的续约合同，其中掘金握有2014年的球队选项。本赛季他代表球队出战81场常规赛比赛，场均得到8.0分和6.9个篮板。
Unlike McGee's flying to the ground, Koufos plays conscientiously. It's hard to see him playing that kind of exaggerated alley-oop, but he can do small hooks, tip-ups, pick-and-rolls, protect the rim, and rebound in the backcourt. Very well.
Although the Nuggets don't have superstars, they really do have a lot of players.In the center position alone, there are several big guys hoarding.In addition to Koufos and McGee, there is also the big Han Mozgov from Russia.
The Grizzlies are still the same starting lineup, so they will not change, and the original team will play.
The atmosphere at the scene was great. After Melon left, this arena finally made it to the Western Conference Finals again. This is something that many people can't even imagine.Originally thought that there would be a reconstruction, but I accidentally rushed into the Western Conference Finals...
Facing the upcoming finals, no one can resist the temptation.But standing in front of the track and field team is the stronger Grizzlies.
Xie Kai knew very well that this game might be the most difficult game in this round of the series.The right time, place and people should not be on my side. What I can do on my side is to fight tenaciously and strive for victory.
