Chapter 439 Return to the place where the dream began
The reason why the Grizzlies dared to take the risk to get Arenas, TNT commentator Kenny Smith said: "Memphis has nothing to gain before the trade deadline, they need reinforcements, and they need to increase the offensive power of their second team. Their Flawed at the 2, Jeremy Pargo couldn't hold up the 1 without Mike Conley. So, they're willing to take the risk and try to see if there's Gilbert in the tank Oil! Even if the attempt fails, they don’t have to bear too much burden by laying him off. This is an investment with minimal risk.”

Xie Kai was very excited about the general's arrival. The general was a star he liked very much back then. At that time, he even imitated the pretentious gesture of celebration when Arenas beat the Jazz on the court.

So fucking cool!
Xie Kai immediately expressed his welcome to the general, and even called him.

Although Arenas has a bad reputation and is said to be not a good teammate, Xie Kai thinks that he may be a person with a genuine temperament.I just like to play pranks, of course the goal holding incident is a bit too much.

Arenas did not expect that Xie Kai would call to welcome him, and he also expressed that he was very happy to play with the Grizzlies.

Xie Kai is currently one of the most popular players in the league and the core of the Grizzlies. His attitude has an important impact on the development of Arenas in the Grizzlies.

The Grizzlies also got good news today that Randolph will be back in this game.

The black bear was injured in early January. The rest period given by the doctor was more than one month and less than two months, but now it has been rested for nearly two and a half months.

The reason is that the team doesn't want him to come back in a hurry for the sake of insurance. After all, there is still a lot of time before the playoffs.In the NBA, it is not uncommon to be injured again after an early comeback. This was the case with Penny Hardaway and Grant Hill in the early years.

Tonight's away game against the Kings, Arenas was unable to play because of the need for a physical examination and formalities.

Grizzlies coach Lionel Hollins said that Randolph will play off the bench in this game, but it will be limited and will not exceed 20 minutes.

The Kings are currently 16 wins and 29 losses, ranking second from the bottom in the West.It seems that they are going to rebuild again this season. Fans have seen such a scene for many years.Repeatedly, it is not unfamiliar.

Sacramento, known as the "Second Port", is the first stop of Xie Kai's NBA career.Here, he grew from a rookie who was frequently traded at the end of the first round to "Most Improved Player", from a substitute to a starter, and gained a firm foothold in the NBA.

Xie Kai is looking forward to working with the same young and talented teammates to help the team gradually become stronger, to compete for a place in the playoffs, and to hit the championship.He is even willing to rebuild with the team, even if it is not a metropolis like New York and Los Angeles.He even had the idea of ​​spending his entire career here, maybe "one person, one city", and then watched his jersey hang over Sleep Train Arena.

But all of this, in the summer of 2010, could not be realized in the end due to the excessive demands made by the team's rookie king Evans.

After Xie Kai left the Kings, he joined the Grizzlies and broke into the Western Conference Finals last season. He himself was selected as an All-Star.The Kings, on the other hand, are rebuilding every year and haven't found their way.

If we look backwards from the results, it seems that Xie Kai was right to leave.But in Xie Kai's view, if he stays, he doesn't think the Kings will always be at the bottom and continue to be bad.

Many Kings fans are nostalgic for the days of Xie Kaizai. They even set up a special section on social networking sites to miss every bit of Xie Kaizai's time in the team.He is even analyzing the possibility of returning to Saskatchewan after his next contract ends.

On the evening of the 21st, Sleep Train Arena.

The Kings have a poor record this season, so the attendance at home games is declining day by day.There is no way, the hearts of fans are fleshy, who wants to see the team they support being often abused at the door of the house, so in order not to make themselves troubled, they have to not go to the scene.

But this game, because of Xie Kai's relationship, attracted many fans to watch the game.The Sleep Train Arena also experienced a rare surge in attendance this season.

Xie Kai will explode when he meets the Kings, so it has been said that he likes to beat his old club, and joked that the Grizzlies can't trade him, otherwise you will become the next Kings.

How could the Grizzlies trade off?It's too late for them to treat him as a treasure. These days, who will easily trade out their star players who are on the rise, unless the team wants to overthrow and rebuild.But obviously, the Grizzlies are not such a team.

The Kings have had a coaching change this season. On January 1, according to the Associated Press, after experiencing a wave of 6 wins and 2 losses and repeated feuds with second-year insider DeMarcus Cousins, Kings coach Paul Weiss Terfal was fired by the team on Thursday local time.He also became the first head coach to dismiss get out of class in the 5-2011 season.

In coaching the Kings for more than two seasons, Westphal led the team to only 51 wins and 120 losses.

Since Westphal took over the Kings, he has been unable to help the team out of the quagmire, and he has conflicts with the team's future core center Cousins, so it is not surprising that he leaves.

Xie Kai certainly knows that the poor record of this Kings team is not due to the low level of coaching by Westphal.It's just that the team's record is poor, and it is important to find a scapegoat, and the head coach seems to be the most suitable candidate.

Coach Westphal's replacement is named Keith Smart, who coached the Golden State Warriors last season and had a winning percentage of less than 50%.Since he coached the Kings, his record is still poor, which objectively clears up Coach Westphal's grievance of "tumor".

But all of this doesn't make much sense anymore, Coach Westphal has been fired.

The two sides practiced before the game, and everyone wanted to win the game. This can be seen from the expressions of the players of the two teams.

Xie Kai's former teammates in the Kings, as time goes by, the number of trades and retirements has become less and less.

Jason Thompson and Garcia are the most familiar teammates of Xie Kai in the Kings. The relationship between them is still good. Before the game, they greeted each other very kindly and joked.

In the Kings, almost everyone knew that it was not Xie Kai who wanted to leave, but because of Evans, the team chose to give up on him and trade him.
