Chapter 277 Comeback
It is conceivable that Xie Kai felt anxious when he saw the team losing streak at the FedEx Arena.At the scene, he even heard fans shouting: "We need Kane!"
Xie Kai knew that it was useless for him to be anxious. In order to prevent his injury from recurring, the team now does not allow him to participate in confrontation training.
The Grizzlies are also thinking about the long-term. In this league, too many players come back early because of the needs of the team's record, resulting in more serious injuries.Such examples are not uncommon. Now the team does not need to pursue a record. This is not the playoffs, and it has not yet reached the point where the team needs to play with injuries.
This month is indeed the most difficult month for Chinese fans.On the 14th, in the Washington Wizards' away game against the Chicago Bulls, Yi Jianlian, the main insider of the Chinese men's basketball team, was unfortunately injured and left midway.
In just one week, the three main players of the Chinese men's basketball team in the NBA were all injured. This made fans wonder if the men's basketball team had encountered some "curse".
This is too miserable, right?
On November 11, the Grizzlies were a guest in Orlando against the Magic.This game is the third game that Xie Kai has missed due to a left knee injury.
Facing the Eastern powerhouse Magic in this campaign, the two teams have been in a defensive battle since the first quarter, and both sides scored very low.
The Magic at home, led by Warcraft Howard, took advantage a little bit, and finally won the defensive battle, giving the Grizzlies a 3-game losing streak.
The next day, the Grizzlies returned to host the Portland Trail Blazers.In this game, the two sides fought unanimously to the end. With Matthews' outstanding performance, the Trail Blazers in the away game narrowly defeated the Grizzlies and gave their opponents a 4-game losing streak.
After losing this game, the Grizzlies' record has also come to 4 wins and 8 losses, ranking outside the 10th place in the West, and it seems to be in a slump.
Those sunspots who unanimously claimed that Xie Kai was a cancer finally decreased a lot. The fact is that in the 4 games he was absent, the team had no wins.
Of course, there are also stubborn people who insist that this is the reason for the schedule, because the opponents of the Grizzlies during their 4-game losing streak were all last season's playoff teams.
It has been a week since the day Xie Kai was injured. According to the medical team's suggestion, his rehabilitation recommendation period has expired and he will undergo a reexamination.
After reexamination, Xie Kai has fully recovered. Next, he will take off the protective cover, conduct adaptive training, and then carry out confrontation training step by step.
Xie Kai was not idle during his injury. He watched a lot of game videos and studied the opponent's tactics.Because he couldn't do a lot of training, he did a lot of personal training in consciousness training, so as not to lose the continuity of his hand feeling.
The Grizzlies' losing streak has made fans feel impatient. The good news is that Grizzlies coach Lionel Hollins said in an interview with the media that Xie Kaihui will return in the next 3 games against the Eastern Conference team.
This is naturally good news for the Grizzlies. The frustration of the fans in the losing streak has instantly turned into expectations for Xie Kai. Everyone wants to end this embarrassing losing streak as soon as possible.
On November 11, Xie Kai was able to participate in 19-on-3 confrontation training.The young man's recovery speed is fast. Judging from his state, he has not been affected by the injury.
On the second day, the Grizzlies were a guest in Washington and played away against the Wizards.
The Wizards were the second-to-last team in the Eastern Conference last season, a typical squid team.But they were very lucky to get the No. 2 pick and selected University of Kentucky's core guard John Wall.
In this game, Xie Kai and Yi Jianlian, the two core figures of the "Chinese Derby", will continue to watch from the sidelines. The two wore suits and met and hugged in the arena, which made people sigh.
Because of the absence of Xie Kai and Yi Jianlian, the attention of this game has dropped from a high level to a low level in an instant, and the number of online posts and news on the website have decreased a lot.
In this game, the new No. 5 pick of the Wizards, Wall, did not play. "General" Arenas led the team to narrowly beat the Grizzlies, giving their opponents a [-]-game losing streak.
After the game, those skeptics who talked about the schedule did not dare to say anything.Xie Kai's absence has an obvious impact on the Grizzlies.The team hasn't even averaged more than 5 points in the five games since he's been out.
Tony Allen can defend, but the offense is really off the charts.The Grizzlies originally had poor offensive space. He has no outside characteristics, allowing opponents to let him go and attack the black bear Randolph.
As an outside No. 2 position, not shooting is indeed a bit of a hindrance on the offensive end.But the Grizzlies can't help it. Originally, Mayo and rookie Henry are both No. 2. The team's talent reserve in this position is quite OK.But Xie Kai made a one-for-two and was injured again, so he had to let Tony Allen go up.
The morale of the 5-game losing streak of the Grizzlies is very low, and everyone seems to have returned to the time when they were at the bottom of the league in previous seasons.The players' faces were full of frustrated expressions. The goal at the beginning of the season was to enter the playoffs, but the current situation is that the record has been ranked in the bottom three in the Western Conference.
The good news finally came. After the game, Grizzlies coach Lionel Hollins revealed in an interview that Xie Kai will be back in the next game against the championship-winning Miami Heat!
This is definitely breaking news, at least for Grizzlies fans.But they are also quite worried, after all, the opponent is the Miami Heat with the Big Three!
The attention of this game continued to soar after the news of Xie Kai's comeback was announced, and it instantly became the most watched game on the 21st.
Back to back, the opponent is the Heat with the Big Three. These two elements come together, as if the Grizzlies' 2-game losing streak was announced before the game.
However, Xie Kai is back!
Xie Kai is not a superstar, but his attention is no less than that of some non-first-line superstars, especially the story since he entered the league, which is really exciting.
In the pre-match predictions, although most people are still optimistic about the Heat's victory, some people are still optimistic about the Grizzlies winning the game.
There are three reasons: first, Wade is likely to miss this game due to injury, and the Heat are still in the running-in period; second, although the Grizzlies are back to back, they should also usher in a rebound after losing 5 consecutive games; , Xie Kai's comeback will definitely help the team increase its matchup advantage when the opponent lacks Wade.
After gathering the Big Three in Miami, not only became the biggest favorite to win the championship, but also became the target of public criticism.Everyone doesn't want to see this kind of teamwork to win the championship easily, so their neutral fans in the game overwhelmingly support the other team.
