Chapter 470 Facing an early decisive battle for the first time
This is the first time in Xie Kai's NBA playoff career that he faced a 0:2 deficit. Even if they were eliminated by the Mavericks in the Western Conference Finals last season, they never fell behind 0:2.

Being behind 0:2 also means that the Grizzlies will usher in a decisive battle ahead of schedule.In the history of the NBA playoffs, after the introduction of the 7-game 4-win system, no team has been able to reverse and win after falling behind by a big score of 0:3.Maybe this record will be broken in the future, but at least for now, no team has done it.

Xie Kai does not think that the Grizzlies, which are currently not united internally, can be reversed when they are 0:3 behind. He is not yet optimistic to this point.

In other words, if you still want to advance to the Western Conference finals, you must win the series G3!

The internal strife of the Grizzlies has been publicized and reported by various reporters and major media.On the forum, netizens were even more imaginative, making various speculations about this internal strife.What kind of conspiracy theory, isolation theory, thanks to the phone bitch, etc.

All kinds, and so on.

Xie Kai didn't bother with these things, he knew the situation in the locker room best.Guy is indeed dissatisfied. Since he has made continuous progress since joining, he has become dissatisfied with himself.

In fact, it’s not difficult to understand. It’s not that Guy is narrow-minded or something. After all, there is only one basketball, and there are only so many possessions in the starting lineup. The black bear is the core of the inside offense, and his possession of the ball is indispensable. Then the possession of the outside line, thank you He is Guy's biggest competitor.

One goes up and down, Xie Kai is getting more and more, so Guy is naturally getting less and less.

At that time, the OK combination still had ball rights competition. You must know that these two are a combination of one inside and one outside, and Xie Kai and Gay are both wings, and the contradiction of ball rights cannot be concealed.

Maybe Gay thinks that, if Xie Kai can't come, he is the team's first choice on the perimeter, and now he has made the All-Star, even the best team, and has become an MVP candidate, right?

There are no ifs in this world, but Guy's outbreak this time is also the result of long-term accumulation.Xie Kai remembered that Gay had asked himself to pass the ball to him before. He wanted to show off, and everyone in the team knew this.

Maybe it's because he has been improving and signed a big contract, which made Gay really feel the crisis?A less than 24-year-old All-Star starter, scoring leader, and best team player. Such a player does not collect statistics, works hard in a low-key manner, and the team does not take him as the core. That is really unless there is a dominant player like O’Neal in the team. Insider exists.

Gay hopes that the team will use him as the core, or it doesn't matter if there are multiple cores, but he must ensure his possession of the ball.In the NBA, without possession of the ball, it is almost impossible to play statistics.You are given 5 shots in a game, and you hit all of them, even if they are all 3 points, it is only 15 points.

Series G3 will be played at the home court of the Grizzlies, so the whole team took the plane back to Memphis from San Antonio.

Xie Kai is actively preparing for the game in Memphis. There is a 3-day rest period between G4 and G3 in the series. They have enough time to study the video of the game and make targeted adjustments.

Xie Kai's parents and Zhou Jing all came to Memphis to watch his game.

Xie Kai finally met Zhou Jing, who gave him a hug as soon as they met.

"Go, I'm sorry!" Zhou Jing said softly.

Xie Kai certainly knew what Zhou Jing meant by sorry: "There's nothing to be sorry for, studies are very important, I know you want to graduate perfectly, and my career still has a long way to go."

Zhou Jing was touched by Xie Kai's words, and she tightened her arms again.

On May 5, at the FedEx Arena, G19, the second round of the Western Conference playoffs between the Grizzlies and the Spurs, will be held here.

Although the Grizzlies are currently behind by a big score of 0:2, this has not affected their fans' enthusiasm for watching the game. The game has not yet started, and the arena is already crowded with people.

The importance of this game is self-evident. The Grizzlies put a custom T-shirt for every fan watching the game at home, with the words "beat the opponent" printed on it.

During practice before the game, the faces of the Grizzlies players were full of seriousness.Most of them have never encountered such a game in their careers.

Black Bear Randolph has experienced 0:2 behind, or even 0:3 behind, he has experienced it.I think back in the Trail Blazers, they trailed the Mavericks 0:3, and finally caught up to 3:3, almost making a comeback and making history.

In this game, the Grizzlies still did not change their starting lineup.And the Spurs did not, they have won two consecutive victories, and the momentum is really strong.

Before the match, Xie Kai took a deep breath.He doesn't want to put himself and his team in a desperate situation. Even if this season doesn't go far in the end, if they are swept away, it will affect the team's self-confidence, and it will also affect the team's hard-won winning culture.

If you lose, you have to lose clearly!

The commentators for this game are Marv Albert and Jeff Van Gundy.

"Jeff, look at Kane Xie's expression is a bit different today!" Marv Albert said.

"Well, it looks a little serious!" Jeff Van Gundy also found out.

Mav Albert smiled and said, "He will be very serious later, right?"

Jeff Van Gundy said: "He has always been serious, and I have never doubted his professionalism. Since the playoffs, he has performed very steadily. Even if they lost the last game, his performance is also very good of."

"Do you think it will be 0-3?" Mav Albert asked.

Jeff Van Gundy shook his lips: "It's really hard to say, look at Rudy. If Rudy is still like the last game, then everything is possible."

Amidst the cheers at the scene, Bai Xiong and Daidai were near the middle circle, ready to jump the ball, and the game was about to start.

Sitting on the sidelines, Zhou Jing's palms started to sweat, and she didn't dare to vent her breath. She looked more nervous than the players on the court.Her gaze stayed on Xie Kai all the time, and she never left for a moment.

"Xie Xiaokai, you must win!" Zhou Jing prayed silently in her heart.

The jump ball started, Xiaojiasao handed the ball to Xie Kai, and the game officially started.

Xie Kai gave the ball to Conley, who dribbled across half court.

Conley held the ball in the frontcourt and started looking for someone.

Xie Kai leaned on Danny Green and reached for the ball.

Conley lobbed the ball and gave it to Xie Kai who received the ball from the right wing.

Xie Kai held the ball and faced Danny Green.He didn't call a screen. Facing one of the NCAA opponents, he took a tentative step with the ball, made a false point with his right foot, suddenly started, accelerated and broke through with his right hand.

Danny Green's speed is very fast, he did not choose to block Xie Kai's breakthrough route, but followed the opponent, let the opponent go to the right, let the opponent go to the bottom line.

Xie Kai walked to the bottom line, and before the dull attack came up, he suddenly pulled the ball from his crotch to an emergency stop, took a step to the left, collected the ball and made a jump shot—hit!
Xie Kai hit the mid-range singles at the beginning!
