Chapter 641 The best of the third month

在11月26日主场击败火箭队后，灰熊队的战绩来到了11胜3负，继续排在西部第2位。

On November 11, the Grizzlies were a guest at the TD Garden Arena in Boston against the Celtics.This is already the second time the two teams have met this month. When the two teams met for the first time on the 28th of the month, the Grizzlies defeated each other.

After the Kaizi Big Three disbanded, they have entered the rebuilding stage. Not only the veterans of the team have been slowly replaced, but even the coach has been replaced by a very young Brad Stephens.

Stevens is only 37 years old this year, younger than some of the older players in the league.On July 7 of this year, the Celtics announced the appointment of Stevens as the team's 4th head coach. The two sides signed a 17-year contract with a total value of 6 million US dollars.

Angie, the old fox, will not be blinded easily. Although Stevens is young, his resume is quite OK. From 2007 to 2013, Stevens served as the head coach of Butler University, with a coaching winning rate of 77.2%, leading Butler University to enter the NCAA Finals for two consecutive years in 2010 and 2011.

You must know that the coach of the NCAA is not easy to be, and some famous coaches are not even willing to accept the contract proposed by the NBA team.These coaches are not comparable to those partially retired celebrities who rely on bragging.

In this game, the offensive efficiency of both sides was very low.The Kaizi are no longer as brave as they used to be, but their iron-blooded tradition has always existed, and the defensive end is very desperate.And Xie Kai discovered that this 30-year-old rookie coach Stevens really has something in his stomach.

Because the general NBA rebuilds the team, it will let the potential stocks in the team play casually, and these geniuses have unlimited shooting rights.But in Stevens' team, they still follow the offensive routine and gradually improve the offensive and defensive system. They play team basketball, which is very methodical and well-trained, a bit like the Spurs.

Xie Kai is also from the NCAA. The NCAA pays more attention to coordination and tactics than the NBA, and the prestige of the head coach is higher, because there are few superstars there.

There is no suspense about the result of the game. In the last game in November, the Grizzlies defeated the Celtics. This season, they have double-killed each other at home and away and ushered in two consecutive victories.

After all the games in November, the Grizzlies' record came to 11 wins and 12 losses, continuing to rank second in the West.

On December 12, the NBA officially announced the Eastern and Western Players of the Month for November.Paul George of the Eastern Indiana Pacers and Xie Kai of the Western Memphis Grizzlies received the honor respectively.

谢开上月率领灰熊队拿到11胜3负的战绩，排在西部第2。他本人场均贡献29.9分6.3个篮板7.1次助攻2.8次抢断1.1个盖帽。

This is the fourth time in Xie Kai's NBA career that he won the Player of the Month award. As one of the favorites for the regular season MVP this season, he has taken a solid first step in the long-distance race for this award.

In the latest MVP rankings, Xie Kai has surpassed LeBron James and topped the list.Of course, this is only temporary, and only the one who has the last laugh is the real winner.

On December 12, the Grizzlies played at home against the Nets.

The Nets completed a shocking deal this offseason. On June 6, they will send 28 future first-round picks, Gerald Wallace, Humphries, Joseph, Marshawn Brooks, plus Bogans, who was signed first and then traded, from the Celtics. The Humans traded for Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce and Jason Terry.

The Nets are betting on the moment, but the question is how old are Harden, Foreskin and Terry?They may still have some gas in the tank, but can they survive the long regular season?If there is an injury, it will be difficult for the team to enter the playoffs.Even if all the members are healthy, are they fully confident in facing the young Heat's Big Three?

But the Nets are taking a big gamble. They gamble on the future, so they bet that they still have fuel in their tanks.

However, after the start of the season, the record of this luxurious warship of the Nets is not ideal. The current record is 4 wins and 12 losses, only ranking third from the bottom in the Eastern Conference.

The run-in is not good, the veterans play and stop, and the team's performance is difficult to stabilize.

In this game, the Grizzlies did not give the luxury warships with an uneven lineup any chance, easily defeated the opponent and maintained their unbeaten record at home.

Three days later, the Grizzlies continued to play at home and easily defeated the Western underdog Suns, ushering in a 3-game winning streak.

On December 12, the Grizzlies lost to the Clippers at home, their undefeated home game was broken, and their 6-game winning streak came to an abrupt end.

Two days later, the Grizzlies beat the Warriors at home, denying a two-game losing streak.

On December 12, the Grizzlies defeated the Magic at home and ushered in a two-game winning streak.

After the game, the Grizzlies' record came to 16 wins and 4 losses, ranking third in the Western Conference (the first two are the Spurs and Thunder).

On December 12, the Grizzlies will face the Thunder at home.This game is the focus of the recent battle, the Thunder Shuangjun VS Xie Kai + Black and White Shuangxiong, just thinking about it can make fans feel excited.

On December 12, Xie Kai entertained Westbrook at home, and Zhou Jing specially cooked some delicious Chinese dishes.

Every time he eats Chinese food, Westbrook always sighs with emotion: "There are too many types of Chinese dishes. I forget to eat them, and I can't remember them at all."

Xie Kai said with a smile: "You don't have to remember, as long as it tastes delicious, it's OK!"

This game will be the battle for No. 2 in the Western Conference, and it will also be the first time the two Western Conference powerhouses have met this season.The attention of the outside world is high, because although the Grizzlies are the defending champions, they did not play against the full lineup of the Thunder in the playoffs last season.

So many people think that maybe the Thunder will be the biggest nemesis of this Grizzlies.

January 12, FedEx Arena.

Although the undefeated golden body at home no longer exists, but such a game, as a die-hard home team fan, of course cannot be missed.The scene was crowded with people, every seat was full, and the atmosphere was very good.

The Grizzlies at home are still using the old starting lineup. Their lineup is the most stable in the league. Unless there are players missing, it is difficult to change this starting lineup.

The Thunder's starting lineup for the away game is: Center - Kendrick Perkins, Power Forward - Serge Ibaka, Small Forward - Kevin Durant, Shooting Guard - Ender Ray Roberson, point guard -- Russell Westbrook.

Sefolosha missed this game due to injury and was replaced by this year's rookie Robertson.

Robertson is 201cm tall and graduated from the University of Colorado. He was selected by the Timberwolves with the 26th pick in the first round of this year's draft, and then traded to the Thunder.

Robertson's advantage is on the defensive end. He is tall and long, has excellent movement, and can defend multiple positions on the defensive end.But as a 3D player, he doesn't have 3, only D.Not only does he not have a 3, but he is not very good at mid- and long-range shots.
