Chapter 564 The Fateful Showdown
After Xie Kai finished the interview, his interview report was immediately updated on major websites.Barkley wrote on his social media after seeing it: "I am looking forward to the game in Oakland tonight. My current prediction is 2:2. The Warriors will score 20 3-pointers in this game!"
The enthusiasm for this tearing battle on the Internet has been high, and because this matter involves Xie Kai, those Chinese fans who like the Rockets have also abandoned this team and turned into fans of the Grizzlies.No way, Beverly is too annoying, why are you messing with our Xie Kai?Well, now I can only dislike the Rockets, and I can only feel sorry for Jeremy Lin.
Of course, there are also many die-hard fans of the Rockets who still support the team, but compared with when Yao Ming was there, the number is much, much less.
On April 4, the Grizzlies VS Warriors G28 started on time.
The Warriors, who won the last game, continued to start with one big and four small ones. This starting lineup outscored their opponents by 28 points in the last game, which is simply terrifying.They can be regarded as a very successful team change. Naturally, they hope to continue such an outstanding performance in this game and make another victory.
Surprisingly, the Grizzlies, which suffered a disastrous defeat in the last game, did not change their formation in this game.
The on-site commentator believes that the reason why the Grizzlies did not change is because they do not want to destroy the tacit understanding of the starting 5-man team. At the same time, they believe that the problem of the fiasco in the last game does not lie in the lineup.
After the start of the game, the Warriors were still playing fast, running quickly without the ball, frequently blocking and passing the ball, using space and shooting skills to the extreme.
On the Grizzlies side, the defensive end has been adjusted.The black and white bears did not stick to the basket, and the white bears rushed out. They began to get up on the defensive end, using confrontation to force the opponent to slow down and consume the opponent's physical energy.
In addition, no matter how the opponent fights, they resolutely fight their positions, grinding one by one.If there is a flank attack, the ball is quickly released, and the open shot is resolute.At the same time, reduce risky passes that are eager for quick success, focus on stability, and work from the inside out.
The rhythm of the Warriors was suppressed. The opponent made no mistakes and retreated actively. They could not easily start and switch.After the opponent's success rate is high, there are fewer backcourt rebounds, and there is no chance of conversion.And when the opponent's body is on the ground, their offensive efficiency also begins to decline.
The Grizzlies showed their housekeeping skills, which is the league's first defense and inside strength.They may not be the first in the league outside, but Xie Kai and Conley's field control ability is very good. If the opponent wants to rely on flanking to limit the black and white bears, they will only be punished by precise jump shots from outside.
Curry and Thompson are still able to occasionally score fairy 3-pointers, but they are not as strings as in the last game, and they are not given a chance to bloom everywhere.
The Grizzlies are playing the traditional image of a fan team in the playoffs: positional warfare, defense, hand-to-hand combat.
The Grizzlies' offensive efficiency is not that high, but they can have a score advantage.And this advantage doesn't seem big, but it just makes people feel that the Warriors can't catch up.
Not only does it feel like they can't catch up, but in fact they just can't catch up.
In the end, the Grizzlies defeated the Warriors in G4 of the series, rewriting the total score of the series to 3:1.
Get the first playoff away game of the season, and also get the match point.
After the game, Xie Kai fans left a message on Barkley's personal social media: "Didn't you say 2:2? Didn't you say 20 3-pointers? Why don't you fart? Keep blowing!"
On the same day, G3 between the Thunder and the Rockets also ended. Without Westbrook, the Thunder narrowly beat their opponents away and took a 3-0 lead.This almost means that the Rockets' playoff journey this season is completely over.
Tonight is the happiest day for K Mi and Lei Mi in recent times. You are so loud, Rocket, it's 0:3, let's see how you are!Still think about how to avoid being swept away!
And the Warriors who fell behind 1:3 were eliminated in one breath.Few people believe that they can come back to win 4:3, the Grizzlies have found a way to overcome their desperate small lineup.
On April 4, the Rockets struggled to get back a round and finally avoided losing streak.
January 5, FedEx Arena.
G5 of the Grizzlies VS Warriors series will be held here.
This game is likely to be the last game of this round of the series.
The Warriors, who lost the last game, continued to change. They used the bird Landry to start, and Jack returned to the bench.
This is already the Warriors' third starting lineup in this round of the series.As the opponent, the Grizzlies responded to all changes with the same set of starters.
After the game started, the frenzied rhythm of the two games in Oakland slowed down because neither Bogut nor Landry could participate in this high-tempo offense.
Both teams are a combination of defensive center + offensive 4th position. The difference is that the Black Bears have a better offensive position, and Landry's offense is more flexible and more outside.
The two teams played step by step, the offensive efficiency was not high at the beginning, and the score was always anxious.After the opening of the quarter and Tony Allen came up, the offensive rhythm became slower.
Soon, the game entered the rotation stage.The rotation stage is the second team of the Grizzlies led by Xie Kai VS the second team of the Warriors led by Jack.
During this period, the Grizzlies' advantage of better offensive efficiency came into play and took advantage of the score.The advantage during this period also set the tone for the whole game.
The Grizzlies' defense is very good. Although Curry and other sharpshooters can also hit 3 points, the efficiency is not as good as G3, and it is difficult for all to explode.
The Grizzlies play their own basketball, with two teams playing fast and one team playing slow.
The Warriors were exhausted and unable to even out the difference.
At halftime, the Grizzlies led by 8 points.
As soon as the third quarter came up, the Warriors, who were eager to chase points, made a lot of mistakes. They were caught by the Grizzlies and played a wave, and the point difference came to double digits.
Since then, the score has never been narrowed, and finally the Grizzlies maintained their advantage until the end.
In the end, the Grizzlies beat the Warriors at home and advanced with a total score of 4:1.
The Grizzlies' opponent in the next round is the winner between the No. 2 Spurs in the West and the No. 7 Lakers in the West.And because the Lakers Kobe was reimbursed for the season, they have been swept by their opponents with a total score of 0:4.
Therefore, a matchup like the Grizzlies VS Spurs will be staged for the third consecutive season.
The contest between the two fateful teams will start on May 5th at the AT&T Arena in San Antonio.
This is a matchup that fans are looking forward to seeing very much. If the Rockets have no hope of advancing to the Western Conference Finals, or the Grizzlies VS Rockets, Xie Kai VS Beverly, it is very exciting to think about it!
