Chapter 381

Zhou Jing came here this time to cheer for Xie Kai.She's actually pretty busy.As the end of the term was approaching, she was also very busy with her studies, but there was nothing she could do. Seeing Xie Kai's frustrated look after losing in the last game, she was still worried, fearing that he would not be able to overcome this hurdle in his heart.

On May 5, G24 of the Western Conference Finals between the Grizzlies and the Thunder will continue at the FedEx Arena.The importance of this game is self-evident. For the home team, this is an early decisive battle.

The FedEx Arena is still full of seats. This arena has no empty seats since the first round of the playoffs, and the tickets have been sold to sky-high prices by the scalpers.There is no way, things are rare and expensive. Thinking about the past few seasons, when the home team was doing poorly, some people were not willing to watch the tickets given away.

Judging from the predictions before the game, many people are still optimistic that the Grizzlies will usher in a counterattack.In the last game, the Mavericks used Barea to match Xie Kai. This move really surprised many people.Everyone thinks that the Grizzlies must have a response in this game.

When practicing before the game, the expressions of the Grizzlies players were not as relaxed as in G3, and there was a lot of unwillingness and seriousness on their faces.

Zhou Jing sat on the sidelines, looking worriedly at her boyfriend Xie Kai who was practicing on the court.

The game started quickly, and neither side changed their starters.

In fact, the Grizzlies have nothing to change, nothing more than Tony Allen and Battier exchanged, and the other four players in the starting lineup, there is no one on the bench who can replace them.

The Mavericks still continued the starting lineup of the last game, and let JJ Barea go to Xie Kai.

The Grizzlies fans in the stands are looking forward to the home team's rebound in this game, especially Xie Kai's ability to blow up Barea, the Puerto Rican shorty.

The game started soon.

As soon as the first quarter came up, the Grizzlies launched a fierce attack. Fatty Lan was low, Xie Kai moved without the ball, and Conley attacked with the ball.Everyone seemed to be holding back their energy.

Since Xie Kai suffered from attacking with the ball in the last game, he first played without the ball in this game. Depending on the situation of his teammates, once the team's offense really stagnates, he will go to attack with the ball.He actually knows that without a back and enough strength, it is difficult for him to take advantage of Barea's defense, so he hopes to use his height and shooting skills to gain some opportunities on the off-ball side.

The Grizzlies went all out and took the lead in the score.Xie Kai felt good. In the first half of the first quarter, he made 4 of 2 shots and scored 5 points.

Although the Mavericks fell behind for the time being, they played leisurely and took advantage of Nuo Tianwang's unsolvable offense to slowly catch up to the score.

The game entered the rotation lineup. The second team of the Grizzlies continued their iron performance, while Terry and other players of the Mavericks made steady output and quickly overtook the score.

The Grizzlies fans in the stands were a little anxious. They were complaining about the disappointment of the team's second lineup, and they were also looking forward to someone from the team who could stand up and respond to the mighty Terry.

But Tony Allen and others really can't help the team out of the quagmire on the offensive end, they can only try to use iron and blood defense to make the opponent's offense not too easy.

When Xie Kai waited for the main force to return in the second quarter, the Grizzlies were already 2 points behind.

Xie Kai knew that he had to attack, no matter what the result was, he had to attack.This is my responsibility and responsibility as the team's only All-Star player this season.

Grizzlies fans almost pin their hopes on Xie Kai.The black bear Randolph can no longer be counted on. He is severely restricted by the boxing champion, and it is not bad to be able to score occasionally.Others, like Conley's little sister-in-law, lack the real ability to attack tough problems, and are more suitable to become puzzles rather than stars.

It's a pity that Xie Kai disappointed the fans in this game. He can use his awareness and precise jump shots without the ball to score points, but now the team needs him to hold the ball to attack and create opportunities for his teammates.But in the face of Barea's stumbling rope, he was restricted again...

Right now, the Grizzlies don't need Xie Kai to be just a shooter, they need him to be a Playmaker, hoping that he can carry explosives to score.

When Xie Kai was restricted, the Grizzlies were completely suppressed on the offensive end.They couldn't play a consecutive offensive, and the offense stalled.

And the Mavericks couldn't immediately open up the score, facing a team with the second-best defense in the playoffs, such a team, whoever encounters them will have to shed their skin.

Grizzlies fans see the team's fighting spirit, but do not see the hope of winning.Obviously, the shortcomings of this team have been placed in front of everyone.When the inside is frustrated, they are thankful.But when the opponent has the inside and outside lines that can restrain you at the same time, all you have left is defense.

Of course, the future of this team is still very bright, Xie Kai is not yet 23 years old, he will continue to improve, not only him, but other young players in the team will also improve.Moreover, the team's salary space is benign, and there is no loss of future assets. It is entirely possible to make a big wave during the offseason.

The result of the game is regrettable. The Grizzlies once again lost to the Mavericks at home and missed the opportunity to tie the big score.

The Mavericks ushered in the match point of the series. As long as they win another game, they will reach the finals again after a lapse of 5 years.

Xie Kai scored 20 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists in this game, but this is not enough to explain anything.He couldn't do it when the team needed it most.He is really good off the ball, but when the team needs him to solve everything with the ball, he fails.

After the game, Xie Kai looked very lonely.

In the evening, Xie Kai stood alone in front of the window in a daze, while Zhou Jing stayed by his side the whole time.

This is the first time Zhou Jing saw Xie Kai so disappointed. Although he was already very good, the cruel result told everyone that he was defeated...

Zhou Jing gently hugged Xie Kai from behind, and comforted softly: "Failure is the mother of success, I believe you will realize your dream!"

"Jing, I'm not afraid of failure, but the feeling of helplessness. Do you know that today's game made me see my bottleneck and my own flaws. It was because of my lack of ability that the team lost the game. My teammates and coaches trust me so much, but I failed their trust!" Xie Kai said slowly, his words were full of helplessness and loss.

"The series is not over yet, and, even if you really lose this time, I believe you can come back as king next season!" Zhou Jing said firmly.

Xie Kai turned around slowly and looked into Zhou Jing's eyes, which were full of confidence.

Xie Kai suddenly smiled: "I'm sorry, Jing, I acted like a coward just now! Believe me, even if I lose, I will stand!"
