It can only be said that people are not as good as heaven. Who knows that Xie Kai will continue to improve, but Mayo is standing still?Who knew Henry had such poor potential as a lottery pick?
At that time, the Grizzlies were also under pressure, and the assets they sent were rich enough. Xie Kai was just a Chinese guard. Before that, no Chinese guard in the league had ever played.They took a huge risk in this move. Once he couldn't hit it, or if his body was overwhelmed and injured, they could only swallow bitter water in their stomachs.
There is no 100% good deal in this world. Even if it is the so-called "robbery deal", both parties have weighed it before the deal. They feel that they will not suffer a loss and that they can get what they want, so they will promote it. trade.
The kind of hindsight is not advisable, no one can predict the future with open eyes.
The season is over, the fans who made the playoffs are actively preparing for the game, but the players of the teams that did not make the playoffs have already disbanded, it's time to go fishing and take a vacation.
The Grizzlies are actively preparing for the playoffs and the regular season is completely different.There is a thick book on the opponent's information alone, but there is only a little information on the regular season.
In the Spurs' profile, Xie Kai read it carefully. The personal habits, technical style and even the shooting percentage of the players on the court are carefully introduced.He couldn't help but feel that the NBA is professional in data analysis. In this regard, the CBA really needs to learn from the NBA.
Looking at the thick pile of opponent's information, Xie Kai felt excited and inexplicably excited.The playoffs are finally here, and I finally have a chance to play in the playoffs.
For NBA players, there is no salary for the playoffs, which means that the contracts signed by the players are all for the regular season.But there are bonuses in the playoffs, and the more you play, the more bonuses you get.And the team will also give some subsidies to the players, and the players who play in the playoffs will definitely not lose money.
There are not many NBA players who don't want to play in the playoffs. Even for those who are not so eager for honor, playing in the playoffs is helpful to his own commercial value.
The first game of the first round of the playoffs between the Spurs and the Grizzlies has not yet started, and the coaches of the two teams have accepted interviews with the media.
In the interview, the coaches of the two teams are naturally unwilling to disclose the team's starting arrangements and tactical arrangements in the first game of the two sides.But both of them praised each other, and they praised each other with many words of praise.
In an interview, Popovich said that the Grizzlies are a very strong team, and their starting lineup is the most balanced offensive and defensive strength in the league.Randolph on the inside has top-level offensive ability, and Xiaojiasao is an inside gate with excellent defense.The combination of Tony Allen, Xie Kai and Conley on the outside has both offense and defense, especially Xie Kai, who is already an All-Star player with superstar potential and so on.
Grizzlies coach Lionel Hollins said in an interview that the Spurs are number one in the league. They have won many championships, have rich GDP experience and outstanding strength. They will definitely be able to play against such a team in the playoffs. Help the young people in the team grow.
Both coaches never mentioned the Black Eight, nor did they mention the Spurs' sweep of the Grizzlies in the 2003-04 season.There is a reason why Coach Hollins didn't mention it, because he wasn't coaching at that time, and Popovich didn't mention it just because he didn't want to mention this kind of thing, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.
Duncan still complained about the Grizzlies' "deliberate loss" in the last two games of the regular season and chose them with injuries: "The Grizzlies played well against us in the last two games. There is an advantage in the matchup, so they chose us, and they got what they wanted, then we will wait and see."
Coach Hollins is unwilling to stimulate the opponent. He denied the "choice to say", he said: "My thoughts have nothing to do with the Spurs at all. We just want to stay healthy, no matter who the opponent in the playoffs is."
Of course, it doesn't make any sense to say these now.Regardless of whether the Grizzlies' behavior of picking opponents is deliberate or not, as the Spurs with the best record in the Western Conference, by the end of the season, they will not be able to choose opponents.What they can do is to make the opponent who deliberately chose them regret it. Besides, no matter how much they talk, they will only appear guilty.
Xie Kai received a call from his good friend Westbrook before the first round of the playoffs against the Spurs in G1: "I said brother, get the San Antonio Spurs, I'll wait for you in the semifinals!"
The Thunder are ranked 4th in the West, and their first-round opponent is the 5th Denver Nuggets.
Xie Kai said with a smile: "Hehe, don't miss the appointment!"
Westbrook said categorically: "I can't miss the appointment, if you don't believe me, we can bet!"
Xie Kai didn't make a bet with the other party. The talented Thunder made a big trade without Anthony's Nuggets, and the chances of winning are great.But it is very difficult for me to think about black eight.
The reason why the black eight is called "the miracle of the black eight" is because it is very difficult for this to happen.Leaving aside the fact that there is a paper strength gap between No. 1 and No. 8, the psychological advantage of No. 1 and the extra home field advantage alone give them a big lead at the starting line.
There have been only 3 "Black Eight Miracles" in the history of the NBA. The first time was in the 1993-94 season. Due to Uncle Mu's ruthless blocking, the Denver Nuggets defeated the Western Conference's No. 3 Seattle Super League with a total score of 2:[-]. Sonics.
第2次是1998-99赛季，由于“中投王”阿兰·休斯顿的绝杀，纽约尼克斯队以3:2的总比分击败了东部第一迈阿密热火队。
The black eights of these two times were all in the 5-match 3-win system. As we all know, the NBA changed the first round of the playoffs to 7-match 4-win system, which made the probability of the "Black Eight Miracle" very low. smaller.
The most recent "Black Eight Miracle" was the Golden State Warriors in the 2006-07 season. The Warriors led by Baron Davis defeated the Dallas Mavericks, then number one in the West, with a total score of 4:2.
Therefore, the Grizzlies this season want to replicate the miracles of their predecessors and beat the No. 4 Spurs in the Western Conference [-] times in a series, which is very difficult.
You must know that the reason why miracles are called miracles is because they do not happen often.
Before this round of the series, not many media predicted that there would be a "Black Eight Miracle".Although the Spurs did not play in a healthy state, their GDP strength lies there.The Grizzlies haven't played in the playoffs for many years, and their ancestors also lost 12 consecutive playoffs. They still stumbled in the regular season, and their performance in the playoffs still has a big question mark.
The Grizzlies' inside core Zach Randolph and outside core Xie Kai have not been tested in the playoffs, and it is not known what they will be able to play by then!
Not to mention that the Spurs still have "Zhuge Weiqi"-the magical coach Popovich exists.Such a coach will not allow the team to be nailed to the pillar of shame by becoming the fourth team in history to be blacked out.
So, the Spurs were hacked eight, is that a joke?
