Chapter 304 Stupid Transaction

"Toronto chooses to flank Kane? This is not a good choice!" Kevin Harlan said.

Steve Kerr said: "If there is no flanking, if Kane continues to perform such crazy scoring performances, the game will really end early."

"That's tantamount to saying that it depends on Kane's ball speed." Kevin Harlan said.

Steve Kerr nodded and said: "It really tests the speed of the ball. Once the ball is slow, the opponent's goal will be achieved."

Xie Kai seldom encountered pincers, so he was a little uncomfortable with the opponent's pincers. The first time he played the ball a little slowly, and the opponent delayed the attack.

However, he adjusted quickly, learned his lesson immediately, and improved his ball speed.

The Grizzlies played more and played less, so they naturally took advantage. The point difference was already big, so the difference between the two sides became even bigger.

At the end of the halftime game, the point difference between the two sides had reached as much as 30 points, and the game almost lost suspense in advance.

谢开半场贡献25分5个篮板7次助攻2个抢断，其中25分是他NBA常规赛职业生涯的新高（之前最高是24分）。

The game became boring in an instant, but for the Grizzlies fans, it was worthwhile to see a game with a big lead on the spot.

There were not many twists and turns in the second half of the game. The Grizzlies led the way. At the end of the third quarter, the point difference between the two teams was still 3+.The final quarter of the game also became garbage time, and marginal players from both sides came up to the game.

In the end, the Grizzlies beat the visiting Raptors at home, ending their embarrassing 4-game losing streak.

谢开出战3节，得到30分7个篮板8次助攻2个抢断，表现非常出色。

After the game, when a reporter asked him what made them beat their opponents, Xie Kai said: "It's belief, everyone wants to end the losing streak. We all feel that we can do better, but in the past 4 games In the game, we didn't do well enough, so we showed the belief that we must win from the beginning of this game."

On December 12, the Grizzlies will be a guest at the Sleep Train Arena in Sacramento and play away against the Kings.The last match between the two teams was also here, in which the Grizzlies beat the Kings.

In that game, Xie Kai scored a game-high 38 points, outperforming Evans and Mayo.

In this game, the two teams will play against each other again. Xie Kai came here for the second time this season. He is not as emotional as before, and he seems much calmer.

This season has reached more than 30 games, and the performance of Evans and Mayo has not met the expectations of the outside world. The data of the two who should have been on the rise have declined to varying degrees.

Currently, the Kings have a record of 5 wins and 23 losses, ranking first in the Western Conference.Regarding Xie Kai's exchange for Mayo + Henry, at least from the current point of view, the Grizzlies are profitable.

Both Mayo and Evans seem to have this trend, that is, "the debut is the peak". They are still on rookie contracts, and they are not even playing as well as their rookie season.If you measure them by the standard of role players, they are indeed not bad, but if you want to see the potential of an All-Star or even a superstar in them, it is currently difficult to see.

The showmanship of the Kings management has been ridiculed and questioned a lot. Obviously, from the current point of view, it is a stupid thing to let Evans be the core and open the deal.In the offseason that just passed, they failed to catch even a big fish in the free market, but they traded Xie Kai, who has All-Star strength (the latest All-Star voting, Xie Kai is among the guards in the West Ranked No. 3, second only to Kobe and Paul).What should have been pursuing the record, but can only continue to be poor.It seems that even if you don't play badly, it is not easy to win.

The Kings are somewhat relieved that the center DeMarcus Cousins, who they selected with the No. 5 pick in the first round of this year's draft, has played very well recently, averaging double digits per game. Trained young players.

Cousins ​​is a young player with both strength and potential, but his temper is also very hot, and he has to compete with referees and opponents at every turn. If such a player does not restrain himself in the future, it means that he is a time Bombs never know when they will explode.It's okay to blow up others, but it would be a tragedy if it blows up one's own people.

In this game, Xie Kai scored a game-high 36 points, 10 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 steals and 1 block despite the boos of the Kings fans. Mayo and Henry once again proved their worth.He let the world see that 1+1 is not necessarily greater than 1.

The Grizzlies also relied on Xie Kai's outstanding performance to beat their opponents away and ushered in a two-game winning streak.

After the game, in an interview, Xie Kai said that he did not feel any guilt. It was the Kings who chose to trade him, not his own application for the trade.

The Sacramento local media "Sacramento Little Bee" also sprinkled a handful of salt on the home team after the game.They wrote that the Kings did not prescribe the right medicine for the conflict between Evans and Xie Kai, so that the conflict came to the fore, and in the end they could only choose to trade one of them.If Xie Kai doesn't leave, the team can completely rebuild around him, Evans and rookie center Cousins.

It’s all right now, the exchange for Mayo and Henry are two pieces of tasteless food, it’s a pity to throw them away. For a rebuilding team like them, such a player who has little potential and will face the problem of contract renewal in the future is the worst. of value.

The Grizzlies ended all of their 2010 campaign after finishing with the Kings.Currently, they are temporarily ranked 14th in the West with a record of 18 wins and 11 losses, and they are still 8 wins away from the Hornets who are 3th in the West.

On January 2011, 1, the Grizzlies visited Salt Lake City to challenge the Utah Jazz, currently No. 2 in the West.

In this game, the Jazz gave full play to the advantage of the "devil's home court", and finally narrowly defeated their opponents, giving their opponents their first defeat in the new year.

The Grizzlies missed their 3-game winning streak, and losing to the Jazz in Salt Lake City is not an unacceptable thing.

After losing this game, the Grizzlies' record came to 14 wins and 19 losses, which is far from the 5% winning percentage.According to the current record ranking in the West and the possible future playoff rankings, if you want to enter the playoffs, a 5% winning rate is not enough, let alone less than 5%.So if they want to enter the playoffs, they still need to improve their record.

On January 1, the Grizzlies will challenge the Los Angeles Lakers in back-to-back away games.

This game is a focus battle, not Kobe VS James, but Kobe VS Xie Kai.Of course, Xie Kai is not qualified to compare with Kobe, but now he has a strong momentum, coupled with his outstanding performance before, as a representative of the young generation's No. point.
