Chapter 283 Fulfilling the Promise
Xie Kai used a perfect game to establish his position in the team.Few of his teammates doubt his strength now, and fans no longer miss Mayo and the No. 14 pick Henry.
The embarrassment of the 5-game losing streak is finally over, and the confidence of the Grizzlies is recovering a little bit.After defeating the Heat at home, the bad atmosphere in the team improved a lot.
In the news and discussions after the game, the importance of Xie Kai to the Grizzlies was overwhelming. Those who were ridiculed before were criticized and dared not show up. Xie Kai's fans held their heads high on the forum, quite face.
At the end of the game with the Heat, the Grizzlies will usher in a 4-day break. Their next game opponent is the Detroit Pistons from the East.
The Grizzlies paid great attention to Xie Kai's knee injury. They arranged for him to undergo another inspection on the second day, and they were relieved only after making sure that he was fine.
Xie Kai doesn't find it troublesome or superfluous for the team's approach. This is their concern and importance for themselves.This shows that he is valuable. If he is a water dispenser manager, the team does not need to be so careful.
This year's Thanksgiving is on the 25th of this month, but for the Grizzlies players, because there is a game on the 25th, they cannot spend Thanksgiving at home with their families.
Thanksgiving is a traditional western festival, which is a festival created by the American people.At the beginning, there was no fixed date for Thanksgiving, which was temporarily determined by each state in the United States. In 1941, the U.S. Congress officially designated the fourth Thursday of November as Thanksgiving Day.The Thanksgiving holiday generally lasts from Thursday to Sunday.
Xie Kai has immigrated to the United States for many years, but his family did not really do as the Romans do. They also celebrate those traditional American festivals, but they are somewhat casual and perfunctory, but they do not miss any of the traditional Chinese festivals.In the words of his mother Chen Guixiang: "We are Chinese, so of course we celebrate our own national festivals!"
After the examination, Xie Kai left Memphis and went to the University of Kansas to meet Zhou Jing.Because I promised her to see her once a month, there were exactly 4 days, and it was no problem to spend 1 day to meet her.
The Grizzlies certainly approve, and they don't want Xie Kai to train intensively when he returns from injury, just keep a certain amount of training.
When Zhou Jing saw Xie Kai who was "disguised" downstairs in the dormitory, she was really surprised and surprised.She didn't expect that Xie Kai really did what he said, and he still appeared in such a situation that she didn't expect.
Zhou Jing's girlish heart was greatly satisfied, because Xie Kai not only surprised her, but also brought her favorite lily.
"You didn't break your promise!" Zhou Jing looked at Xie Kai emotionally and said.
Xie Kai's expression of "everything is under my control" made Zhou Jing's heart beat even faster.
That night, the two of them were naturally tired of each other. In Xie Kai's firm arms, Zhou Jing asked with concern: "Is your injury really all right? The burden is too heavy to rush back and forth like this!"
Xie Kai said calmly: "Of course it doesn't matter, I know my body well."
"If you come to my place, you won't have time to go home to see your parents. They will blame you!" Zhou Jing said softly.
Xie laughed: "This Thanksgiving is on the 25th. We have a game that day, so we don't have time to go home. We don't take Thanksgiving as much as Native Americans, and I don't like eating turkey. It’s too unpalatable, but the Chinese native chicken is delicious!”
Zhou Jing was finally relieved.She thinks more, and she is worried that Xie Kai neglected his parents in order to fulfill their promise, which caused the relationship between them to become bad.In this way, his parents may blame themselves for this.She wanted to go on with him, so naturally she didn't want to have conflicts before meeting his parents.
The time spent together with my beloved one passed quickly. On the second day, Xie Kai left the University of Kansas and returned to Memphis.
Arthur saw Xie Kai in the training hall, and said with some surprise: "You came back so soon, doesn't your girlfriend blame you?"
Xie Kai had a confident expression: "I went to meet her, but it was too late for him to be happy, so how could he blame me?"
"You rush around, be careful of your kidneys!" Arthur said with deep meaning.
Xie Kai thought he was going to say "be careful of your knees", but he didn't expect that there was something in the other party's words, and he threw the basketball over: "Darrell, you are getting more and more out of tune now!"
Arthur laughed and said, "I didn't learn from Mario!"
Chalmers, who was far away in Miami, suddenly sneezed twice at this time, and he still looked inexplicable.
"Mario, do you have a cold?" Wade next to Chalmers asked me concerned.
"No, I don't know why I sneezed!" Chalmers couldn't imagine that his former teammates in Memphis really hurt him.
On Thanksgiving Day, November 11, the Grizzlies continued to play at home against the Pistons.
Due to the opening of the last game, the attendance rate of the Grizzlies' FedEx Arena in this game is very good.The team is also happy. The hot football market not only drives the box office, but also the sales of peripheral products, the investment attraction of advertising space in the arena, etc., which must be beneficial to the team.
The Pistons are 5 wins and 9 losses so far this season, and their record is not very satisfactory.In fact, in recent seasons, their record has not been very good.Since the 2008-09 season, they took the last train to enter the playoffs as the eighth in the Eastern Conference, and they failed to advance to the playoffs in the following two seasons.Today, they can be regarded as a member of the league's weak teams. They are slightly better than the top fish belly, but they are far away from the playoffs.
The team is aging too badly, and the core structure is still dominated by those who won the championship in 04, but those people are no longer at their peak.But the team does not have a young cornerstone who can play the leading role, it is really "needless"!
Facing such an opponent, the Grizzlies, who have just ended their losing streak, naturally hope to beat them and usher in a long-lost two-game winning streak.
In this game, the starting lineup of the Grizzlies at home is: center-Marc Gasol, power forward-Zach Randolph, small forward-Rudy Gay, shooting guard-Xie Open, point guard -- Mike Conley.
The starting lineup of the Grizzlies has a very high win-loss value, and few players who play together are at a disadvantage. It is a lineup they are proud of.
The starting lineup of the Pistons in the away game is: center-Ben Wallace, power forward-Jason Mark Hill, small forward-Tyshaun Prince, shooting guard-Richard Hamilton, point guard -- Rodney Stuckey.
