Chapter 160 The duel between the two guns in the backcourt

The Golden State Warriors' record last season was 29 wins and 53 losses, which is better than the Kings, but it is also close to the same. There are too many essential differences.

The Warriors took Stephen Curry out of Davidson College in this summer's draft.Curry was originally booked by the Knicks, but he didn't expect to be cut off by them.

Curry has excellent shooting ability and ball feel. Apart from his slightly thin body, his talent on the offensive end is beyond doubt.

Before Curry's talents are realized, this team is still in the rebuilding stage.Few people believe that relying on Monta Ellis and Captain Jack Sr. can lead this team to compete for the championship.If they want to win the championship, Curry alone is not enough, they need more talented men.

This can be regarded as a contest between the last 7 teams in the West, but the attention before the game is not low.Curry + Ellis' backcourt combination VS Xie Kai + Tyreke Evans' backcourt combination is a highlight of this game.

Is the explosive performance of Xie Kai and Evans in the last game a flash in the pan?

The Kings' Sleep Train arena is packed, and the attendance for this game is higher than that of the Grizzlies.The reason is simple. The explosive performance of Xie Kai in the game against the Grizzlies and the violent output of the young combination in the backcourt of the previous game gave fans hope.Right now winning or losing may not be the team's biggest goal, but training young talents.

If Xie Kai and Evans can beat Curry and Ellis in this game, then the future of the team is bright.At least, in terms of talent accumulation, it may run ahead of the Warriors.

Of course, regardless of the pre-match predictions or the analysis of the major media and commentators, in the end who is better and who has more potential still needs to be based on facts.

This game, without a doubt, will be Xie Kai's second start of the season.He may have the possibility of playing the 2th man in the last game, but after defeating the Jazz in the away game, when he played with Evans in the first game, he was still stable in the first game without Kevin Martin.

In the Warriors, there is veteran Mitch Moore who played for the Kings last season.In practice before the game, he came to the Kings, shaking hands and hugging his old teammates.

The fans present saw Moore and gave him applause.Although the team's record was not good last season, the players of this team are all "own people" in the eyes of the fans, and now they are their own masters, but this does not prevent everyone from having a good memory.

According to pre-match predictions, the Kings have a higher probability of winning this game.Even if they are back-to-back, even if their record is not as good as that of the opponent last season, but this is their home game, and they took away the devil's home game in Salt Lake City in the last game.

In this game, the starting lineup of the Kings is: center - Spencer Hawes, power forward - Jason Thompson, small forward - Andy Snocioni, shooting guard - Xie Kai, point guard - Tyreke Evans.

The Kings continued the starting lineup that won the last game, with double highs inside + blue-collar small forwards + double lows in the backcourt. This lineup gave fans hope.

The starting lineup of the Warriors in the away game is: Center - Andris Biedrins, Power Forward - Stephen Jackson, Small Forward - Columna Azubuike, Shooting Guard - Monta Ellis, Point guard - Stephen Curry.

Compared with the step-by-step lineup arrangement of the Kings, the Warriors' lineup is a bit "unusual".Old Nelson deserves to be called a "mad scientist", and his concept of "fuzzy location" was also used by him.It is indeed a bit confusing to use two wing-sized players, Captain Jack and Azubuike, as forwards, and two 190cm teams, Curry and Ellis, to play in the backcourt.According to the general lineup arrangement, the height of power forwards is generally between 203cm and 211cm, and the height of shooting guards is generally between 193cm and 203cm.

Of course, it is not uncommon for the old Nelson, who advocates running and bombing, to play double guards and 1 big and 4 small. The flexible lineup allows his bombardment to play better.

The commentators for this game are groom Albert and Mark Jackson.

"Mark, I didn't comment on Sacramento's game in Salt Lake City. I feel a little regretful now!" Mav Albert sighed.

"Is there anything to regret about it? I didn't ask you to comment this time. Wouldn't it be better if I made up for you?" Mark Jackson said with a smile.

"I missed a perfect performance of the two guns in the backcourt in Saskatchewan!" The groom Albert still looked very regretful.

"Okay, okay, their careers are still long, and there will be more amazing games in the future!" Mark Jackson comforted.

The Sleep Train Arena, home of the Kings, is currently undergoing a player appearance ceremony.

Because the order of appearance of the Kings before was Hawes, Jason Thompson, Nocioni, Evans and Kevin Martin.So even if Martin didn't play in this game, the team didn't rearrange the order of appearance, it just replaced Martin with Xie Kai.

For Xie Kai, although he knew that he was in Martin's favor, he was excited for a while to get the chance to play the finale for the first time in his NBA career.

When the DJ shouted: "Kain Xie, from the University of Kansas!", Xie Kai's passion was ignited, and he suddenly felt a burning sensation in his eyes.This kind of passion has never been there before.He hopes that he can justifiably become the finale player of the team in the future, not the current form of glory.

After the order of appearances is over, the game will begin.

Biedrins and Jason Thompson were ready for the jump ball near the middle circle, and the game was on the verge of breaking out.

"Mark, compared to Sacramento, the overall height of the Golden State Warriors is still a bit shorter!" Mav Albert said.

"Well, especially in positions 2 and 4. But groom, it's not the first day you know Don, and it's not the first time you comment on their team's game. Don's team is like this. I think he And Andris Biedrins is the center forward! You will be even more surprised if you let Stephen Jackson play the center!" Mark Jackson said with a smile.

The two teams started to jump the ball inside. Jason Thompson, with his help at home, beat Biedrins with the jump ball, and the Kings won the first wave of offensive balls.

Evans dribbles across half court.

Xie Kai moved forward, and it was Ellis who defended him.

The matchup between the two sides is still basically based on position, but no matter how the Warriors match up between the back line and the forward line, they are all at a disadvantage in height.
