Chapter 300 I don't have a girlfriend
In the game that night, Xie Kai was affected by his emotions and did not perform well.And his teammates also performed poorly, so in this game, they finally lost a big away game and missed the 4-game winning streak.
On the second day, the Grizzlies visited San Antonio and challenged the Spurs in back-to-back away games.As a result, the two teams fought to overtime, and the home team defeated the opponent with a more stable performance, giving the opponent two consecutive defeats.
From 3 consecutive victories to two consecutive losses, the Grizzlies have entered the whirlpool of losing streak.This team's record is unstable, mainly because of unstable performance.The performance of the starting lineup is fairly stable, but the lack of offensive ability of the substitute lineup is a real problem.If this problem cannot be solved, this team will not be able to make a name for themselves in the playoffs, even if they make it to the playoffs, it will be quite difficult.
After losing back-to-back away games against the Spurs, Xie Kai received a call from his girlfriend Zhou Jing from the University of Kansas: "I said Xie Xiaokai, what are these two games going on? You don't know the difficulty of the All-Star Game Has the voting channel opened? If you go on like this, I don’t think you will have to participate in the All-Star Game in Los Angeles in February.”
Xie Kai really played badly. In the past two consecutive losses, although he still averaged 20.1 points, 5.4 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game, his 2-point shooting percentage was only 40%, and his 3-point shooting percentage was only 31%.
Xie Kai admitted that Yao Ming's reimbursement for the season has affected him, but this is not a reason.This is the NBA, it is competitive sports, no one will pity you.If not, it will be eliminated.
"The All-Star voting has started! I don't pay attention to these things, but I have played really badly recently!" Xie Kai said.
"It's good to know, I'm still waiting to participate in the All-Star Game as your friend!" Zhou Jing said,
Xie Kai quickly agreed: "Don't worry, I will work hard. By the way, did you vote for me?"
"Vote - pass - la - so worried about me, really." Zhou Jing pouted.
Three days later, the Grizzlies returned to their home court to face the Brooklyn Nets in the Eastern Conference.
In this game, Xie Kai performed well, scoring 35+5+4+2, sweeping away the low efficiency of the previous two games.But it is a pity that his teammates performed poorly, and finally suffered at home and ushered in a 3-game losing streak.
Fortunately, after this game is over, the annual Christmas will be ushered in soon.The Grizzlies have no plans for the Christmas game, so they will usher in a gap period of 5 consecutive days without games.
The NBA is a business league, and the Christmas game is the Heat of the Big Three, and it is the territory of the favorite teams like the Los Angeles Lakers to win the championship.The Grizzlies, a team in a small market, don't have much hope of winning the championship, so they have no chance at all.
Although the opportunity to broadcast live in the United States was lost, for the Grizzlies players, they got 5 days of rest, which looked good.
Xie Kai naturally went to the University of Kansas to find Zhou Jing, for which he rejected his mother Chen Guixiang's call to go home for Christmas.
There is no way, there is no way to do both, Xie Kai can only choose one side.
For this reason, Chen Guixiang, who is very sensitive, immediately smelled some tricks here, and she asked meaningfully: "Akai, do you have a girlfriend?"
It was unexpected for Xie Kai to be asked such a question.But he was still prepared: "No, where did someone as busy as me get a girlfriend? I have something to do and I need to train, so I won't go back."
"Akai, don't lie to me, I have many sources of news." Chen Guixiang said with a smile on his face.
Xie Kai's eyelids jumped, but he remained calm: "Really, I'm very busy, how can I have time to fall in love!"
Chen Guixiang thought that if you insist on not telling me, I will catch you when the time comes, hehe, we will see how you deny it then.
The 5-day rest time passed quickly, and Xie Kai returned to the team soon, preparing for the game against the Indiana Pacers.
The Pacers' record is currently tepid, but this team has always been very tough, and the defense is also very good, so it is not easy to deal with.
And this game is the home of the Pacers, so this game is even more difficult to play.
In this game, the two teams played very anxiously, leading the score alternately, and the offensive efficiency was not high.It was an out-and-out defensive battle.
In the end, the Pacers passed Danny Granger's key goal at home, quasi-lore the Grizzlies, and gave the opponent a 4-game losing streak.
For the third time this season, the Grizzlies ushered in a 3-game losing streak, which frustrated the Grizzlies from top to bottom.If it can be said that the loss was due to an uneven lineup before, but now that the lineup is neat, it is unjustifiable to continue losing streak.
But even if it can't be justified, the losing streak still exists objectively.The longest losing streak for the Grizzlies this season is 5 games, and it is only 1 game away from tying this record.
On December 12, the Grizzlies returned home to face the Toronto Raptors.
The Raptors are currently 10 wins and 19 losses, ranking fourth from the bottom in the Eastern Conference, which can be regarded as "quasi fish belly".Although it is back to back, this game is an opportunity for the Grizzlies to win and then end the losing streak.
Before the game, Xie Kai said in an interview: "I don't want to say anything now, I just want to win!"
A reporter with the Grizzlies team broke the news that after the away loss to the Pacers, the team held a player meeting to discuss the team's recent poor performance.
The content of the discussion was not announced, but the team reporter broke the news that the team formed a united front and unanimously focused their energy on the game.
In this game, the attendance rate of the Grizzlies' FedEx Arena is much lower than that of the previous winning streak. There is no way, the team's record is bad, and the fans don't want to come to the arena to be fed shit.
During the warm-up period before the game, Grizzlies coach Lionel Hollins frowned and looked very serious.The pressure on his shoulders is still not small. If the losing streak continues, his head coach position may be replaced at any time.In the NBA, the position of the head coach is a high-risk position. Almost every season, the head coach of the team is fired.He doesn't want to be one of the head coaches fired this season.
Coach Hollins wants to keep his coaching position, very simple, is to lead the Grizzlies to win.After all, the strength of this team on paper is really good. Except for the slightly poor depth of the lineup, the strength of the starting lineup is also ranked first in the entire league.
In this game, the starting lineup of the Grizzlies at home is: center-Marc Gasol, power forward-Zach Randolph, small forward-Rudy Gay, shooting guard-Xie Open, point guard -- Mike Conley.
The Grizzlies still have this starting lineup, and the plus-minus value of this starting lineup is still good, and it was also positive on average during the 4-game losing streak. The problem still lies in the second team of the game.
