Chapter 449 Xie Kai VS Big Three

The commentators for this game are TNT's Kenny Smith and Charles Barkley.

"Charles, this game you don't like is Kane vs. the Big Three. Do you have anything to say?" Kenny Smith immediately threw the sensitive question to Barkley. He knew that his partner actually liked to comment. other's.

Barkley made a gesture and said: "First of all, I have to make it clear that I don't dislike Kane. I just think you have praised him too highly. Many fans compare him with Kobe, which is too funny If he goes up against guys like James Harden and Monta Ellis, you'll see I'm rooting for him."

"Okay, let's go back to this game, do you think Memphis can end Miami's 17-game winning streak at home?" Kenny Smith asked.

Barkley replied noncommittally: "It's hard to say. The strength on paper is naturally much higher than that of Miami, but in competitive sports, especially in the regular season, anyone can win."

While talking, Turiaf and Xiaojiasao were preparing to jump the ball near the center circle, and the game was about to start.

The fans in the American Airlines Center arena were very enthusiastic, cheering one after another, because if the Heat win this game, they will create a new team history record-18 consecutive home victories.

The jump ball begins and the game officially begins.

The little sister-in-law beat Turiaf with a jump ball, and Conley slowly dribbled the ball over.

Chalmers is Xie Kai's teammate at the University of Kansas. The reason why he slipped to the second round is because of his age and playing characteristics.He was already 2 years old when he participated in the draft, and this age was regarded as an "older rookie" among the rookies at that time.Older rookies do have high maturity, that is, excellent combat power, but in terms of potential and plasticity, they are indeed not as good as those 22 and 19 years old.

In the NBA draft, what those teams value more is a player's potential.In addition to being too old, Chalmers also has another problem. With his height of 185cm, he will not have a big problem playing the 1st or even the 2nd position in the NCAA, but in the NBA, it is difficult for him to play a point guard at this height. It is a disadvantage.Not to mention that he is not a complete team offensive organizer in the NCAA. The team's real No. 1 is his senior Russell Robinson.

But in the Heat, Chalmers' flaws were hidden, especially when paired with Wade in the backcourt.Here, he only needs to be a good 3D point guard, and he does not need to organize the offense. His excellent defensive ability is the key to making him a starter.

Chalmers' single defense is great, except that he is not tall enough, whether it is moving speed, confrontation, or the choice of defensive positions, and the defense against screens, they are all outstanding.

The Heat's defensive concept is to pinch the ball holder, put pressure on the opponent's outside line, force the opponent to make mistakes, or intercept the opponent in rotation.

At the start of the game, the Heat didn't pull out their signature "crazy pinch ball handler" trick.It's very simple, it's not that this trick is not easy to use, but that it consumes too much energy, and it will be more effective when used in the second half.

It was Wade who opened the defense.

Wade is called "Jordan 5 centimeters shorter" and it's not entirely about his offense, his defense is equally good.In the No. 2 position in the league, if he said that he was the second in blocked shots, no one dared to say that he was the first in blocked shots.

Xie Kai came out to catch the ball, faced Wade's defense, and lobbed the ball to the black bear in the low post.

The reason why the Heat let Turiaf start is partly because of the strength of the inside of the Grizzlies' black and white bears.If they play a small lineup, then their inside pressure is too great.

Turiaf is defending the Black Bears. Relatively speaking, the White Bears are taller, but they are not known for their low-post attacks; and the Black Bears, who are less than 210cm, are No.1 in the team's low-post attacks.

Turiaf is a blue-collar worker, and he is still very strong, withstood the first wave of impact from the black bear.

When Xie Kai turned around and wiped it in, James' defense also arrived and broke the ball!

James counterattacked with the ball, Wade galloped up the court, even the center Turiaf, the speed of the fast break is also very fast.

James holds the ball to the top of the arc and smashes a pass to Chalmers in the bottom corner with one hand!

Chalmers broke through after a feint and scored a high point for Bosh.

Bosh also broke through after feinting, and missed a three-step layup!

Xiaojiasao accepted the rebound and handed it to Xie Kai to advance.

Xie Kai pushed forward in the middle, and the Heat fans in the stands cheered. Obviously, he was the opponent player who most interested the home team fans in this game.

Wade came up to press, Xie Kai firmly controlled the ball.

"Kane's ball handling ability is not as bad as you say!" Kenny Smith said to Barkley.

Barkley smiled: "DW didn't increase his strength, so it seemed that Kane Xie was very stable in possession of the ball. In the second half, when everyone's physical strength declined, you could see that he was unstable in possession of the ball!"

Kenny Smith was speechless...

The Heat's defense is at the top of the league. Their inside and forwards move very fast, and they have a good habit of retreating.Xie Kai came over with the ball and gave it to Conley.

Conley took the ball to Chalmers, failed, and stopped the ball near the free throw line.

Gay came over to catch the ball, facing James, turned his crotch back and walked his right hand, turned around and wiped the basket, and was interfered by Bosh who was helping to defend when picking the basket-no!
Turiaf jumped high, received the rebound, and handed it to Wade to advance.

On the Heat's side, James' retreat for 3 points is also a strike!
Xie Kai grabbed a long rebound.

The two teams played for a long time at the beginning, but no one scored a goal, and it was difficult for everyone to play.

"Facing Memphis' excellent defense inside, it is difficult for Miami to score points easily!" Kenny Smith lamented.

Barkley said: "LeBron's shooting is still not very stable. He can't defeat opponents with jump shots like Kobe and KD. They need to catch some transitions and then use their speed advantage to attack Memphis."

Conley dribbled the ball and gave it to the White Bears.

Bai Xiong and Xie Kai handed each other, and the latter caught the ball and used Bai Xiong to cover, and shot a jumper——Yes!
The Grizzlies scored first!
The Heat did not show weakness, James used the screen to forcefully rush to the basket and hit 2 points for a layup!
The two sides drew 2:2!

Conley came over with a dribble and scored a single for Randolph in the low post. The Black Bear used his strength to attract a flanker and scored the ball!
Thanks for the transfer, Conley made a 3-point shot-short!
But Xie Kai stuck Wade, grabbed the offensive rebound, cut to the basket with a jump, and gave it to the Black Bear, who got up and caused a foul by Turiaf!
"Charles, do you want to say that Kane's ball is not firm enough and he should attack by himself?" Kenny Smith asked meaningfully.

Barkley quickly denied: "The pass was beautiful, I didn't mean it."
