Chapter 637 The Vulnerable Old Club

Yu Jia said with a smile: "I don't think Coach Mike Malone will let Cousins ​​watch Xie Kai shoot empty baskets when defending pick-and-rolls."

Xu Jicheng said: "The coach's arrangement is one thing, and the player's execution is another. Coach Malone seems to be a little dissatisfied with Cousins' defense. It's one thing to be unable to score offensively. It's one thing for a coach to not be careful in defense. .”

Pause back, the game continues.

Vazquez dribbled over and sat Conley on his back using his height and weight.

Conley is short, but not weak, and his defense has never been a weakness.He lowered his center of gravity, which made it difficult for his former teammate Vazquez to push in.

Vazquez's shooting is not his strongest weapon, I saw him turn over and hit a jumper-miss!
Xie Kai accepted the backcourt rebound and came over with the ball by himself.

Facing his old teammate Vazquez, Xie Kai accelerated his breakthrough with a cross step. During the process, he suddenly stopped and pulled the ball from his crotch, flashing a huge space, and he made a steady jump shot——and!
The Grizzlies are already leading 8:0!
K honey at the scene was very excited and screamed again and again, making the Sleep Train Arena the home of the Grizzlies.Those Kings fans even had an illusion, as if Xie Kai was still playing for the Kings.

The game lasted more than 2 minutes, and the Kings at home did not score a single point. This made their players, fans, and coaching staff feel uncomfortable.But there is no way, now you can't attack, you can't defend, what to do?
Kaoshen continued to play the white bear in a low position, forcibly attacked, and knocked down the white bear-offensive foul!
The tester was in a hurry, and angered the referee, and received a T!
Conley made a tactical free throw and the Grizzlies lead 9:0!

Conley dribbled the ball and gave it to Xie Kai, who was behind the corner and asked for the ball.

Just this round, it was McColemo who defended Xie.

Xie Kai catches the ball with his back, faces his junior McColmo, and hits it in with the ball!

McColemo lowered his focus and tried his best to thank the senior.

There is a big difference in weight between the two. Xie Kai now weighs more than 95kg, while McColemo only weighs 88kg.

Not to mention the difference in the confrontation between the two, the current Xie Kai is no longer the skinny rookie who first entered the league. The continuous training in the past few years has made his body already very strong. , Howard is incomparable, but there is still no problem in bullying juniors who are less than 90kg.

McColemo couldn't bear it anymore and kept backing away!

Jason Thompson came up to help his teammates defend. At this moment, Xie Kai suddenly hit the black bear under the basket!

At this moment, the opponent's defense was too late!

The black bear catches the ball and scores easily under the basket!
11:0!Wow--

The Kings continue to suspend!
Yu Jia sighed: "The timing of this pass is great, the opponent has no time to rotate, and Randolph is very comfortable when receiving the ball, he can directly attack the basket, Kaoshen doesn't even have a chance to foul!"

The Kings fans in the stands were simply tormented. They came to watch the game in a happy mood, but they were fed a mouthful of hot Xiang!

Who likes to eat Xiang?Americans may like to eat pizza and popcorn hot dogs, but they are definitely not stupid enough to like eating Xiang. But watching such a game, if you are a fan of the home team, the feeling is not much different from eating Xiang.

Xu Jicheng said: "The starting lineup of the Kings, once Cousins ​​can't play, does not seem to have a strong offensive point. Jason Thompson's independent offensive ability is weak, small forward Mbah a Moute is defensive, rookie Mike Colemo is facing Xie Kai, it is difficult to play an excellent offense, and point guard Vazquez is too organized, and offense is not his strong point."

"The Kings may change, I don't know if Thomas Jr. will come up!" Yu Jia said.

Sure enough, the Kings team changed. Veteran Salmons came up to replace Mbah a Moute, who had a very weak offensive presence, and Thomas Jr. came up to replace McColemo.

The game continues.

Thomas Jr. dribbles over.

Conley finally met a player who can be condescending. His height of 185 is facing Thomas Jr. who is 175, and he suddenly looks much taller and stalwart.

Thomas Jr. and Jason Thompson picked and rolled, broke through immediately, and caused a foul by the Black Bear!

Thomas Jr. will go to the free throw line!

The Kings fans in the stands cheered for Thomas Jr., which had an immediate effect!

Yu Jia said with a smile: "Thomas Jr. comes up to attack. With his speed and size, he drills around. Randolph is really difficult to guard against."

Xu Jicheng said: "It's also misplaced for a small man to beat a big man. Randolph is heavy and slow. Thomas Jr. attacked him, and the effect was really good."

Thomas Jr. made two free throws and the Kings finally scored!
11: 2!

The Grizzlies attack, Conley dribbles over, and the White Bears pick and roll!

Thomas Jr. and Kaoshen defended the pick-and-roll, which was a disaster. Conley and the White Bear played a hand-off after the pick-and-roll, and the two couldn't find the ball holder.

Conley easily hit a mid-range jumper, and the Grizzlies continued to have a 100% offensive success rate.

13:2, the Grizzlies continued to lead by a big score.

On the offensive end, Thomas Jr. continued to pick and roll to find the Black Bears. This time the Grizzlies helped defend, and he was assigned to the open Salmons, but the latter hit the iron with a jumper!
Xie Kai received the rebound from the backcourt, came over with the ball himself, faced his old teammate Vazquez, speeded up and passed the opponent, cut to the basket, and assisted the old prince for a layup!
15:2, the Grizzlies' offense was simply unstoppable.

Yu Jia sighed: "The backcourt combination of Vazquez and Thomas Jr. is really poor in defense, and Salmons' ability to help defend is not good. Now he can do nothing but attack, and the defense is really hard to describe!"

The first quarter of this game was Xie Kai's most relaxed first quarter this season. The opponent's defensive strength felt as good as it was in the preseason. Kaoshen and Thomas Jr. were really no different from cash machines on the defensive end. .He feels that if these two are the core, he needs to be equipped with a few defensive champions so as not to be blown up by the opponent on the defensive end.

Xie Kai played 6 minutes in the first quarter, made 6 of 5 shots and 2 free throws. He easily scored 12 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal. He didn't feel sweaty, and the opponent was almost overwhelmed. .

On the Grizzlies side, the Black Bears also played efficiently. He used Xie Kai's restraint to eat cakes at the basket and grabbed a lot of rebounds.

The Kings couldn't attack, couldn't defend, and fell behind their opponents by as much as 6 points at 22:16 in the half quarter.

The fans of the home team in the stands really had the urge to leave the stadium early. Considering that they had spent hard-earned money to buy the tickets, they could barely resist getting up.But seeing the home team being slaughtered by their opponents, can they feel better?
After Mr. Tony came up, the offense of the Grizzlies was not as fierce as before, but the defense was excellent. It was also quite difficult for the Kings to chase points, so the point difference still remained and did not shrink at all.
