Chapter 440 The Greatly Changed Old Club
There were still many fans wearing the Xie Kai Kings jersey No. 22, and some even held a big sign that read "Come back, Kane!"
Of course, what the fans mean does not represent what the team management means, but it is undeniable that Xie Kai has left his own mark in this arena and this city, and has also influenced many people.
Xie Kai is very familiar with this arena, and he is familiar with every plant and tree here.He is familiar with everything from the approach tunnel to the locker room to the arena.
In the player tunnel, several staff members greeted him, and he responded one by one.I just left the Kings, not against everyone here.
Soon, the technical station gave the starting lineups of both sides for this game.
In this game, the starting lineup of the Kings at home is: center - DeMarcus Cousins, power forward - Jason Thompson, small forward - John Salmons, shooting guard - Ma Cus Thornton, point guard -- Isiah Thomas.
The starting lineup of the Kings has changed a lot since the two teams played against each other at the beginning of the season. You must know that during the Westphal period, Jason Thompson was a substitute, Marcus Thornton was a substitute, and the No. 60 rookie Thomas Jr. was drinking water. machine administrator.
However, after the new coach Keith Thomas came to power, he reused young players. Except for Salmons, who is a veteran over 5 years old, the starting five are all young people.
Tyreke Evans has just returned from injury, so he will play off the bench in this game.This also explains why the No. 175 rookie Thomas Jr., who is only 60cm tall, can start.And Marcus Thornton started because Mayo played too badly in the previous game, and the locker room was obviously cancerous.
The starting lineup of the Grizzlies in the away game is: center-Marc Gasol, power forward-Maris Speights, small forward-Rudy Gay, shooting guard-Xie Kai, organization Linebacker -- Mike Conley.
Although the Black Bear has paid for this game, the season is limited, and the team doesn't want him to play for too long once he comes back, so he is arranged in the second team to find the feeling of the game.
Before the game, Xie Kai VS Evans or Xie Kai VS Mayo were just talking about it, and not many people thought it was comparable.Xie Kai is the starter, and one of these two has just returned from injury, and the other is on the bench. Whether everyone can be on the court at the same time may not be there, and there may be no chance of facing each other.
But even so, this game is still exciting. Everyone wants to see if the Grizzlies can end their 3-game losing streak in the away game, and whether Xie Kai can continue to have a bright performance against his old club.
The commentators for this game are Marv Albert and Jeff Van Gundy.
"Today should be the busiest day in this arena in the last month, right?" Marv Albert said with a smile.
Jeff Van Gundy said: "It seems to be, Sacramento has missed the playoffs, so the attendance rate has been poor during this period."
"Because Kane is here, everyone really wants to see this kind of story-telling matchup!" Marv Albert laughed.
"Everyone is curious, maybe everyone wants to see how Kane can play here!" Jeff Van Gundy said.
Xiaojiasao and Kaoshen are jumping the ball near the middle circle, and the game is about to start.
Amidst the cheers of the fans at the scene, Kaoshen yelled loudly, like Lu Zhishen pulling a weeping willow upside down, and swiped the ball hard—the ball flew directly to the backcourt and went out of bounds...
The Grizzlies have the ball!
The fans in the stands were speechless-this Cousins is really full of talent from the neck down, but with the addition of brains, the talent is almost diluted.This guy is still an extremely irritable person, he may explode when he is uncertain, it is simply a ticking time bomb.
But there is no way, although this guy is extremely emotionally unstable, but among the young people in the Kings team, who can be called talented and potential in terms of personal strength, this is the guy.
Evans and Mayo are both "the debut is the peak", which is really harmful; and Jason Thompson is just a role player, and it seems that he has no chance to become an All-Star.
Conley slowly dribbles over and the game officially begins.
The 175cm tall Thomas Jr. went to defend Conley, and Conley rarely had the opportunity to be condescending.
The defensive back was Marcus Thornton.
Thornton is 25 years old this year and graduated from Louisiana State University. He was selected by the Heat with the 2009rd pick in the second round in 2.

But in the 2010-11 season, the new head coach Monty Williams did not trust Thornton's defense at all, and then put him on the bench. In 46 games played on behalf of the Hornets, Thornton averaged only 16.2 minutes per game, far Nowhere near his rookie season.
On February 2011, 2, the Kings sent Landry to get Thornton and some cash compensation from the Hornets.
In 27 games played on behalf of the Kings last season, Thornton averaged 21.3 points, 3.7 rebounds and 4.3 assists per game.
For the Kings, this was nothing short of a surprise.You must know that since Xie Kai left, the team's high-ranking rookies have not continued to fulfill their talents, let alone the second-round picks.Thornton's explosion has given the team great encouragement. If Evans, Cousins and Mayo can continue to grow in the new season, and Thornton, who has explosive scoring power, is in charge of the offense of the second team, then the team Rise will no longer be a dream.

Thornton had unlimited firepower in the Kings last season and averaged 20+ points per game. However, as the No. 2 position, he is short, lacks defense, and does not have the ability to lead the team. Still haven't got an average annual contract of [-] million yuan.
Xie Kai moved without the ball in the frontcourt, and Thornton followed him closely.
Thornton certainly knew the story of Xie Kai, and also the story of the Chinese and the Kings.He wants to prove that he is better than this yellow guy, that he is the ultimate answer to the No. 2 position of this team, and that he is the leader who can lead the team to the championship.
Therefore, beating your opponent on the field is the most effective way to prove yourself!
Gay received the ball and faced the veteran Salmons. He dribbled the ball and forcibly broke through the baseline. After being pinched by Jason Thompson, he divided Speights near the baseline.
Speights made a mid-range shot!
Cousins used his big butt to withstand the little sister-in-law and accepted the rebound!
Cousins gave Thomas Jr. a dribble across half court.
Thomas Jr. graduated from the University of Washington. During his three seasons in college, he averaged 3 points, 16.4 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game.
It stands to reason that a point guard with such data is at least a first-round rookie if not a lottery pick, but Thomas Jr. is only 175cm, so he was underestimated in the draft.
