Chapter 496 Visiting the Bay Area
On November 11, the Grizzlies played against the Golden State Warriors at the Oracle Center in Oakland.
Mark Jackson, who became the coach of the Warriors from the commentary last season, is his second season in charge of the team this season.Under his coaching last season, the Warriors ranked third from the bottom in the West with 2 wins and 23 losses.
Of course, the poor record of the Warriors is also caused by many factors. Last season, the team had many injuries. The core Stephen Curry did not play at all after the regular season. Because of his ankle injury, he was directly reimbursed for the season.Coupled with the fact that Mark Jackson was coaching this team for the first time, it is normal for the team to have a poor record in the Wild West when the personnel is not complete.
This season, the Warriors are fully staffed and supplemented by strong support. It is bound to make some progress.
There are a lot of Chinese people in the Bay Area. In today's game, the movie star Daniel Wu who lives in the Bay Area also came to watch the game. He even took a photo with Xie Kai before the game.
Since Xie Kai announced that he will wear the No. 22 jersey in the new season, the No. 23 Grizzlies jersey he wore last season and last season has become out of print. Many people have started selling it online. It is said that the current price has doubled the original price. up.
Xie Kai's jerseys are not worried about selling. In the NBA jersey sales list last season, his jersey sales were second only to Kobe, Rose and James, ranking fourth.
Xie Kai, who has returned to the No. 22 jersey this season, many people predict that his jersey sales will break into the top three.
The Warriors are a very young team.The core of the team, Stephen Curry, is 24 years old, the same age as Xie Kai.Many of the team's main rotation are rookies who have just entered the league for a year or two.
In this Warriors team, Xie Kai met an acquaintance-Brandon Rush.
Rush was a teammate of Xie Kai and Arthur on the Jayhawks at the University of Kansas, and they entered the NBA in the same year.Because we fought together and won championships together, we have a very good relationship with each other.
Rush Rush was with the Indiana Pacers before. On December 2011, 12, the Golden State Warriors sent Louis Armandson and traded him from the Pacers.
2011-12赛季，拉什代表勇士队出战65场比赛，场均出场26.4分钟，贡献9.8分、3.9个篮板及1.4次助攻。
On July 2012, 7, Brandon Rush officially renewed his contract with the Golden State Warriors. The contract is worth $31 million for two years.
I think Rush was considered a lottery pick back then, but now he can only sign to the middle class. Compared with Xie Kai, his teammate at the end of the first round, the gap is not usually big.
Fortunately, Rush's mentality is still very good. He has never been depressed because he is not as good as Xie Kai. He has always been happy for this old teammate. It is not easy to break out in the NBA.
"Brandon, now that you're in the West, we'll have a lot more chances to fight each other!" Xie Kai joked.
Rush nodded with a smile: "That's right, both of you are in Memphis. We can only play against each other twice a season. It's really too little. The last time you came to Indiana, the hospitality was not good!"
"It's true that the hospitality is not good, I didn't even eat the meal you invited!" Arthur laughed.
"Who told you not to come! Hahaha..."
Three college teammates chatting cheerfully together, this kind of scene is becoming more and more rare nowadays. The NBA's elimination rate is too high. Even those strong players gradually faded out of the stage due to injuries.
The game will be broadcast live on CCTV5.
The host Yu Jia and guest teacher Xu Jicheng explained the game.
In this game, the starting lineup of the Warriors at home is: center - Andrew Bogut, power forward - David Lee, small forward - Harrison Barnes, shooting guard - Klay Thompson , Point guard - Stephen Curry.
The starting lineup of the Warriors is very young, even the oldest David Lee is less than 30 years old; Klay Thompson, who starts at No. 2, is 22 years old this year and is a second-year rookie; Sen Barnes, the No. 2 pick in the first round this year, is only 7 years old.
The Grizzlies' starting lineup remains the same as in the previous game.
"Mr. Xu, what do you think is the reason why the Grizzlies lost to the Clippers last game?" Yu Jia asked.
Xu Jicheng said frankly: "I watched the video of that game. Generally speaking, the Grizzlies are not in good shape, and many open opportunities have not been grasped. Crawford of the Clippers broke out again."
Yu Jia said: "Many colleagues on the Internet are criticizing Xie Kai, thinking that it was his fault that led to the dismissal of the former Grizzlies coach Hollins. What do you think?"
Xu Jicheng said with a smile: "I don't think so. As far as I know, Xie Kai has never been involved in the management of the team. He spent the summer in China preparing for the Olympics and didn't return to the United States until the end of September. How can he have so much experience?" What about managing the operation of the team? The views of those who obviously have ulterior motives have no basis!"
Yu Jia nodded: "I also think that Xie Kai would never do such a thing. I met him once. He is a very polite young player, humble and low-key. He is a role model for those young people in this school!"
Xu Jicheng sighed: "It is really not easy for Chinese players to succeed in the NBA. At that time, Dayao was also criticized by those media reporters today and tomorrow."
"Mr. Xu, now some viewers leave a message, asking who do you prefer to win this game?" Yu Jia asked.
Xu Jicheng said solemnly: "I still think the Grizzlies are more likely to win. They just lost the last game. As a strong team, they cannot allow a losing streak at the beginning of the season. Compared with In other words, the Golden State Warriors are not a very strong team, so I think the Grizzlies have a better chance of winning."
Bogut and Xiaojiasao are preparing to jump the ball near the middle circle, and the game is about to start.
As the No. 2006 pick in [-], Bogut is not a super awesome No. [-] pick, but he is definitely not watery.He has won the league's block leader and made the best team, which is not something a parallel importer can do.His problem is that he has many injuries, his attendance rate is not particularly high, and he is mainly defensive, so the Bucks, who are not likely to win the championship, sent him away.Compared with his old club, the Bucks, the Warriors are more suitable for him and need him more.The Warriors don't need him to be the first offensive point, they just need to wipe the ass of David Lee and Curry.
One is the No. [-] pick center in Australia, and the other is the big white center in Europe. The two big guys jump the ball there, which makes people see the remarkable achievements of NBA globalization!
At the start of the jump ball, Xiaojiasao won Bogut, and the Grizzlies got the first wave of offensive possessions.
Conley slowly dribbles over.
The Warriors' defense started with their second-year rookie Klay Thompson.
