Chapter 460 Quasi Triple-Double Leads Team to Winning Streak

On April 4th, the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs, the Bulls VS 29ers.Last season's regular season MVP Derrick Rose accidentally injured himself in the last breakthrough of the game, resulting in a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee and was reimbursed for the season.

Xie Kai, one of the "Peerless Twins of 08" standing side by side with Rose, naturally felt sorry for Rose after hearing the news.Injuries can destroy a young superstar, but they can also destroy a team.

After losing Rose, the Bulls will face the risk of being black eight.And if the 76ers really succeed in black eight, it will create a record of black eight miracles in two consecutive seasons.

Xie Kai hopes that he and his teammates can finish the playoffs in a healthy way, and that there will be no injuries like Rose, which is terrible.

On the evening of May 5, the Grizzlies continued to sit at home to face the Clippers.

In the first game, the Grizzlies relied on Xie Kai's explosion to win relatively easily. Therefore, before this game, many experts believed that the Clippers might change.

In fact, the presence of the Clippers' second team in the last game won points, and they won a lot.So in the end, the starting lineup lost a lot of points, and the positive and negative values ​​of the starting 2-man team were all negative, which is very illustrative.

The Clippers' starting lineup, which has two all-star players, Paul and Griffin, played very well in the regular season. The reputation of "the city of lobs" made them lose at least the slightest popularity in the competition between the two teams in Los Angeles. Don't lose to the old Lakers.So what they need to prove themselves is their dominance in the playoffs.

The NBA is a competitive sports league, no results, nothing.

The attendance rate of the FedEx Arena is still gratifying. In the playoffs, Grizzlies fans don't want to be left behind.

In this game, the Grizzlies' starting lineup remains unchanged.And the Clippers, who lost the last game, made a change!They took small forward Caron Butler, who had a poor game last game, and started Bobby Simmons.

Who is Bobby Simmons?Many old Clippers fans should be familiar with him. He played for the Clippers for two seasons from 2003 to 2005.

在2004-05赛季，鲍比·西蒙斯代表快船参赛75场，其中74场出任首发，场均得到16.4分、5.9个篮板、2.7次助攻和1.41次抢断。他也因当赛季的出色表现，荣膺进步最快球员奖。

It's just that after leaving the Clippers, Bobby Simmons never played so well again. In November 2010, he was waived by the Spurs.On February 11 this year, his old club, the Clippers, signed him with a 2-day contract.

I didn't expect to let a temporary worker serve as the starter in the playoffs. The boldness of Clippers coach Pooh DeNagello is also impressive.

But how effective it is still needs to be tested through practice.

Compared with Caron Butler, Bobby Simmons is more off-ball and has stronger 3D attributes.The Clippers let him start, and the purpose is also to hope that he can open up the offensive space, so that Paul and other teammates have more space to complete the offense.

As soon as the first quarter of the game came up, both sides quickly increased their intensity, and the efficiency was not high.The Grizzlies are still playing the original routine, the inside double bear attack + the outside Xie Kai without the ball/ball switch.

The Clippers didn't immediately flank and thank him, but tried not to let him shoot easily, if he broke through, they tried to drive him to Jordan, and have a cooperation from inside to outside.

On the offensive end, Paul of the Clippers began to work hard and increased his personal offense.Because the lobs with Jordan and Griffin on the inside were difficult to play, they changed their offensive thinking and no longer deliberately pursued a one-step goal, adding a lot of ball transfers and off-the-ball cuts.

The scores of the two teams did not open up as quickly as in the first game, but have been anxious, and no one can do anything to the other.

Bobby Simmons didn't take many shots. As a 3D player, he played very well, and basically grasped the opportunities when they came out, but he did not live up to the team's trust.

The Clippers are still very happy to face this situation, because once the rotation stage is reached, the Grizzlies' second team is not as good as them.

But who would have thought that the Grizzlies second lineup withstood the opponent in the first half.Tony Allen broke out on the offensive end, hitting the mid-range consecutively, while Arenas and Speights also hit several jumpers.

In the first half of the game, the two sides almost drew a tie.

谢开受限于协防夹击，进攻火力不如首战，半场得到10分5篮板5助攻1抢断1盖帽。

In the second half of the game, the confrontation between the two starting lineups in the first half of the third quarter, the Grizzlies' inside advantage was brought into play.The black and white bears can hit the inside and shoot mid-range. On the offensive end, they are much easier to use than the dunk wizards Jordan and Griffin.

The Clippers have nothing to do here. They can't count on Duanfen and Xiao Qiao, so they can only let Paul, who is 183, attack the fortifications.

Paul is really good, and Conley's defense is very good, but he still can't limit him.

But forcing Paul to play hard, the Grizzlies' task has been half completed.

The Grizzlies took the initiative and slowly gained a score advantage.

In the transition period of the second half, the second team of the Grizzlies once again withstood the strong firepower of the opponent and won a respite for the main lineup.

Waiting for the decisive battle between the two sides in the final quarter, the Grizzlies used a better half-court position to maintain their slight advantage until the end.

In the end, the Grizzlies narrowly beat the Clippers at home, rewriting the total score of the series to 2:0!

Xie Kai scored a "quasi triple-double" with 19 points, 11 rebounds and 9 assists in this game. He used his containment power to help the team get a lot of offensive opportunities.The Grizzlies also scored in double figures with 5 players, completing a team victory.

Paul scored a game-high 29 points, plus 3 rebounds, 6 assists and 5 steals, but still couldn't help the team win.

Griffin still can't prove that he can play 20+10 in front of the black and white bears like he did in the regular season.Little Jordan can still defend anyway, and his defense is a weakness against Xiong Daxiong.

After the two games, the Grizzlies will go to Los Angeles with a total score of 2:0. This is the perfect ending for them and for the fans.

There is no shortage of NBA players who completed a reversal when they fell behind 0:2. The 2006 Finals is a living example. However, judging from the process of the game, it is unlikely that the Clippers will be swept away. But in this round of the series To complete the reversal, unless the opponent has a major injury, the possibility does not seem to be that great.

Xie Kai is very happy. His goal is not the first round, but the semifinals, even the Western Conference finals, and the finals.He will not underestimate the Clippers, and a team with Paul is definitely not easy to deal with.

Xie Kai's parents and others went to Los Angeles happily. For them, watching their son's game in Los Angeles was also a happy thing.
