Chapter 287 McGrady's Advice
In the press conference after the game, the reporter did not ask Xie Kai's opinion on the game and other things, but asked about other things.One of the reporters asked him what he talked to McGrady after the game.
Xie Kai did not hide it: "I asked T-mac for advice! Speaking of which, he is one of the leaders who taught me how to learn basketball when I was young. I often learned his technical moves when I was in middle school. This time I have the opportunity to compete with him. , I asked him about pull-up jumpers and triple-threat techniques."
Xie Kai didn't lie, and he can't lie about this kind of thing, because these reporters only need to ask Maddy, and they will know what the two are talking about.Even if McGrady wanted to hide it, but the two spoke differently, at least one of them must be lying.So there is not much need.
"Kane, it is said that you already have someone you like, right?" a reporter asked.
Xie Kai didn't expect them to ask this, so he smiled: "I've always had someone I like, it's normal! In China, my age is already the legal age for marriage!"
Everyone laughed.
Xie Kai did ask Tracy McGrady for advice on triple threats and pull-up jumpers after defeating the Pistons at home.Of course, there are more than these two skills in McGrady's skill library, but when it comes to him, the most impressive thing is the dry pull.
McGrady's dry pull has a characteristic, that is, it is sudden and arbitrary.He is 203cm tall, with a wingspan of more than 215cm, and his bullet speed is amazing, so if he pulls up, there are basically few outside players who can interfere.This is the same as KD's jumper.
Xie Kai does not have a height of 203, so he will definitely not be able to achieve a high release point like McGrady.What he wants to know are some technical details of pull-up jumpers and triple threats.
McGrady was also very generous and shared some of his experiences with Xie Kai.He told Xie Kai at the time that there are two most important points in dry drawing, one is his own offensive rhythm, and the other is the opponent's defensive position and judgment.
According to the opponent's defensive position and prediction, choosing a dry pull or a breakthrough is the first step; adjusting one's own offensive rhythm is the second step.There is no precedence for these two steps, they must be integrated together, and judge your own offensive options according to the situation.
Regarding the three threats, McGrady's suggestion is to practice shooting to the point where the opponent is afraid, and at the same time observe the position of teammates, and shoot the ball in time when there is a chance.Triple threats only make sense for players who are both shooting and passing threats.
Xie Kai was very grateful for Maddie's generous guidance and accepted it humbly.His current situation is that he will encounter some problems when he trains hard, and players with these problems cannot help him.The suggestions of those top superstars in the same position can sometimes achieve the effect of "turning a stone into gold".
Xie Kai's three threats are considered excellent among players in the same position, but he is still not satisfied because the value of these skills in the personal ability quantification table is only "65".Looking at it this way, I am still far from the top superstar.
Xie Kai is a player who works very hard and wants to improve. He cannot tolerate flaws in the skills he must master. These flaws will hinder him from becoming a superstar in the future.
Xie Kai practiced McGrady's technique over and over again in the following daily training.In addition, he also increased the practice of shooting and breakthrough layup in the awareness training.
Xie Kai worked hard to improve his skills in this two-pronged training.He will not be satisfied with the little achievement he has achieved so far.To put it bluntly, his current honor book is quite shabby, he has almost no valuable honors, and he is still on a rookie contract. If he does not perform well, it will be difficult to get a contract with a large amount.
On November 11, the Kings will once again sit at home against the Golden State Warriors.
The two teams had a contest at the beginning of this month. In that game, the Grizzlies narrowly lost to their opponents away.However, the Black Bear Randolph did not play in that game, but the loss to the fourth-worst team in the league last season still made this team aspiring to enter the playoffs a little angry.
In this game, the Grizzlies are playing at home, and the momentum on the scene is really strong. Naturally, they hope to avenge their opponents and usher in a 3-game winning streak.
The Warriors are in good shape this season and are currently ranked 7th in the Western Conference with a record of 8 wins and 9 losses, ahead of the Grizzlies.
In September of this year, the Warriors fired Nelson, who led the team to complete the third "Black Eight Miracle" in NBA history, and let assistant coach Keith Smart coach the team.
Although the Warriors this season are not led by Nelson, this team still focuses on offense, and the composition of the players is also inclined to attack.
Pre-match predictions about this game, most people are still optimistic about the Grizzlies winning.You must know that the Grizzlies have a very good winning percentage at home this season, and they also defeated their opponents in the two games just ended.
The attendance rate of the Grizzlies' home FedEx Arena is still good today. The attendance rate of this venue this season has been far behind the attendance rate of the same period last season.The popularity of the ball market has also led to the development of related industries. Memphis is not a big city, but this change is still obvious.
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 starting lineup of the Grizzlies has not changed since the lineup was completed. It has excellent offense and defense. Except for the slower offensive rhythm and some problems with the defense, there are few shortcomings.
The starting lineup of the Warriors in the away game is: center - Andris Biedrins, power forward - Dan Gadzuric, small forward - Darrell Wright, shooting guard - Monta · Ellis, point guard - Stephen Curry.
The Warriors used to play a small lineup of one big and four small during the old Nelson period, and the newly appointed coach Keith Smart simply put on a lineup with an oversized frontcourt.
In the Warriors lineup, the inside twin towers are over 210cm tall, and Wright, who plays small forward, is 206cm tall.If it weren't for Curry and Ellis in the backcourt, both were only 190cm, the average height of this lineup would be extremely scary.
Because David Lee and the Warriors used the No. 6 pick in the first round this summer, Ai Pai Udo was unable to play due to injuries, so the depth of the team's lineup will be affected.
Jeremy Lin, a Chinese player in the Warriors, also entered the rotation in this game and will play off the bench.The PK between him and Xie Kai is also one of the focuses of this game.
It's just that the current situation of the two is too different. Xie Kai is the Grizzlies' steady starter and the core of the future backcourt, while Jeremy Lin's current contract is not completely guaranteed. He cuts.
