Chapter 467 Sudden Infighting

Of course, Xie Kai knew the inside story. Randolph's dissatisfaction with Gay was actually largely due to the team's loss.Gay does have a big problem in offensive selection, but this problem does not just appear now, but has always existed.The black bear's voice this time is more about long-term accumulated emotions, and more because it can't bear the fact that they lost here when they were defeated last season.

You know, after completing the black eight last season and killing the Spurs, there was no Gay in the lineup.Why the team couldn't renew Battier's contract and couldn't get better backup reinforcements. The Black Bears believed that Gay's high salary hindered the team's signing reinforcement.

Gay's current contract is the largest in the Grizzlies (5 million in 8230 years). Obviously, his performance this season is not worthy of this contract.

Gay's fans often say that if Gay can have unlimited shots, he can average 25+ per game and be selected as an All-Star.But in fact, this season and last season, Gay's contribution and presence to the team are actually not high.His offense often deviates from the team's tactics, his offensive efficiency is low, and his plus-minus value is the lowest among the five starting players.

Black Bear is actually not stupid. As one of the team's three high salaries (himself, Gay, and Xie Kai starting next season), it is impossible for him to say anything about himself, let alone blame Xie Kai.If he goes to Xie Kai, then he doesn't want to be in this team anymore.Xie Kai is not yet 3 years old. He is already an All-Star starter, season scoring leader, and fifth in MVP.It is foreseeable that he will be selected to the best team this season.I am already over 24 years old, and I am gradually going downhill.If the team is forced to choose one of the two, the management of about 5 NBA teams will choose to send themselves away and establish Xie Kai as the true core of the team.

So this time, the black bear aimed at Xie Kai. From a certain level, there was a kind of goodwill in it.Although Xie Kai is very low-key and introverted, he has never advertised himself as the boss or the sole leader of the team in public, but his strength and age are there. He must be the cornerstone of the team's future, there is no doubt about it.And Gay's existence (style of play and attitude) will definitely affect the possession and development of this cornerstone.

Black Bear is actually very smart. He knows that even if he doesn't say anything, the management will plan to move Guy at the end of this season.It can be said that this season is actually Gay's last chance to some extent.If it can't match Xie Kai's style of play, if it can't help the team get a better record than last season, then leaving is the most likely thing to happen.

As for myself, as long as my state doesn't drop sharply, the team still won't send me away easily.After all, in comparison, he is the core of the inside offense, and he and the cornerstone of the team, Xie Kai, are not so incompatible.

The team lost the first game, and now several core players in the team are engaging in internal strife. At this time, the most troublesome thing is the coach Lionel Hollins.Now he finally realizes how important it is to have a locker room leader in the team. If Battier is still there, Randolph and Gay will not have conflicts, right?
But there are no ifs in this world, and Coach Hollins has to prepare for the second game against the Spurs.He is really going to collapse now, the opponent is aggressive, and his side is not in harmony, what should we do?

Gay and Randolph ignored each other in the team training on the second day, and there was no communication in the locker room, which made everyone feel a little embarrassed.

On May 5, the second game between the two teams continued at the AT&T Center, home of the Spurs.

Now that the Internet is so developed, Spurs fans certainly know that the two main players of the Grizzlies are fighting.They are naturally happy. If they can make the other party fight internally, the probability of their own promotion will be greatly increased.They are still quite afraid of the Grizzlies. This team is very strong, and it is an opponent that most playoff teams in the West are unwilling to meet.

Neither side has changed. The Spurs are the winning side, and of course they will not take the initiative to seek changes.On the Grizzlies side, no one can change.

Coach Hollins certainly knew that Gay and Randolph were not in harmony, but he didn't dare to remove either of them from the second team, otherwise everyone would be dissatisfied.He is now hoping that their professionalism will pass the test, and they will work harder on the court than the last game.

After the game started, the Grizzlies really held back their energy and showed amazing energy on the defensive end, limiting the opponent's offense.

On the offensive end, the Grizzlies still can't play a smooth offense, and the opponent's defense is very good. Leonard and Danny Green on the outside are young, and the defense is extremely mature and tireless.The dull insider can't see that he is over 35 years old, and his experience and awareness make him look like he has reached the peak.

Not only that, the two old guys on the Spurs' side, Da Dao and the old sports car, are very cunning. They soon discovered that Gay didn't pass the ball to the Black Bear, and he didn't pass the ball to Xie Kai; Ball to Guy.

In this way, the Spurs' defense becomes "targeted". When Gay holds the ball, pinch him and let the black bears go. If you don't pass, it will only intensify your conflict.

Under this kind of targeting, the Grizzlies' offense has become a mess.

The Spurs took the opportunity to hit a small climax and opened up the point difference.

Grizzlies coach Lionel Hollins suspended consecutively. During the timeout, he emphasized to the players: "Be selfless and share the ball more!" But it is the players who play, not the coach, and he cannot replace the players to play.

In desperation, Coach Hollins could only replace Gay first and replace him with Tony Allen.

With Tony Allen on the floor, the Grizzlies defense is back and better than ever.But the problem is the offense.When he is on the court, the offense is basically 4v5. The opponent can naturally let him go, and then attack Xie Kai and Heixiong.

Before the Spurs emptied Gay, they emptied his fixed-point 3-pointer, and they did not vacate the mid-range.But for Tony Allen, except for the basket, they are all short...

Tony Allen was also very angry, sister, I don't want to lose face——

But people don't care about you. The playoffs are all about targeting. If you have such a big flaw, I won't target you or anyone.

The Grizzlies failed to chase points after the substitution, and entered the rotation stage with an 8-point deficit.

Gay led the team's second team to play against the Spurs' second team led by Yaodao.

Coach Hollins pinned his hopes on Gay. He hoped that he could turn his depression into motivation and lead the team's second team to play a very good offense.

Even if you can't catch up with the point difference, at least you won't fall behind.
