Yu Jia sighed: "There are still people who say that Xie Kai is not worthy of winning the MVP? There are people who say that Xie Kai is not as good as Harden? I think those black people really dare to say anything to black him!"
Su Qun said with a smile: "Someone left a message on my Weibo, saying that Xie Kai just hugged his thighs, from the Grizzlies hugging the black and white bears' thighs, to the Thunder now hugging Westbrook and Paul George's thighs. Because the black bear Lando My husband is old, so I abandoned this thigh and hugged the young Westbrook and George."
Yu Jia shook his head: "We really don't understand Heizi's world!"
Pause back, the game continues.
The Thunder were more active on the defensive end. Of course, they also paid the price of fouls. No, just after the timeout, Paojiao was caught by the referee because he made too much defense against Eunuch Hai.
The Jazz sent the ball out of bounds, Jiao Zhixi continued to hit the iron with a jumper!
Duck accepted the rebound and handed it to Westbrook to advance.
Westbrook dribbled the ball across half court and gave it to Xie on the other side.
Xie Kai is feeling very hot right now, and the Jazz here flanked him without hesitation.
It is very dangerous to pinch at the top of the arc, because once the ball is thrown, it will form a situation of more hits and fewer hits, and you will not be in place in time because of the long distance of your rotation.After all, the speed of people's running cannot keep up with the speed of ball transfer after all.
Xie Kai gave the ball safely to Westbrook, and Westbrook then divided the weak side pickle.
Opportunity!
Paojiao, who made 3 of 4 three-pointers before, made a steady shot-hit!
After hitting the ball, Paojiao let out a cry. He was really too frustrated before, and he didn't do anything offensively. In the live broadcast, he had already been traded countless times.
55:50, the Thunder lead by 5 points!
Su Qun said: "After Paul George made a 3-pointer, he punished the Jazz's defensive strategy very well. They also flanked Xie Kai in the first half, but the other players of the Thunder were not open outside, so they didn't receive punishment."
The Thunder has indeed taken off. Their outside 3-point shooting percentage is still less than 30%, but even so, they have already taken the lead, which shows how high the fault tolerance rate of this team is.
Jazz coach Schneider fell into deep thought. He was actually quite hesitant about flanking Xie Kai.Xie Kai is neither Durant nor Lillard. The former is not fast enough to shoot the ball and his vision is not wide enough, while the latter is too short and his vision of the ball is easily restricted.
But Xie Kai didn't pinch, and the results also saw that the former MVP had already scored 30 points, and he didn't look tired at all.
The Jazz did not have a defensive gate that could limit Xie Kai from the outside. Hayward's defense is not a strong point, and Exum, who is on the bench, can't defend.
So at present, at least in this game, flanking Xie Kai should be a more reasonable choice for the Jazz to beat their opponents.
The Thunder took advantage of Xie Kai's restraint, and the offensive end began to pick up.Although Westbrook and Paojiao are still not at the average level of the season, they are much better than the stretching of the hips in the first half.
The Jazz fell into a passive position and could only start to adjust the lineup.Fortunately, when Xie Kai played for 3 minutes in the third quarter, he and Paojiao went to rest together.
After Xie Kai went on, the Jazz breathed a sigh of relief!
But the defensive lineup led by Westbrook has firmly stabilized the advantage, so that the Jazz can't find a way to break the game.
When it came to the rotation stage, Xie Kai and Paojiao led the team up, and they began to flank him again.
The hand feeling of Robertson and others did not pick up, Xie Kai was pinched harder.
At the end of the third quarter, the Thunder led by 3 points.
As soon as the game started in the last quarter, for the Thunder, Robertson and Paojiao hit 3-pointers one after another, instantly opening the point difference to double digits.Then linked with Kanter and Gibson on the inside, the home team widened the point difference.
After that, the Jazz also chased points, but after all, they were not talented enough to make a comeback in such adversity.
In the end, the Thunder defeated the Jazz 100:91 at home, ushering in a good start to the series.
谢开本场比赛最终砍下全场最高的40分，外加7个篮板7次助攻3个抢断2个盖帽，而且仅仅出现了1次失误，表现堪称完美。
This is the 10th 40+ in Xie Kai's NBA playoff career, and also his first 40+ in the playoffs in his career with the Thunder.
After the game, Thunder coach Donovan said: "Kane helped us, we relied on him to win this game. He is the MVP, I respect him a lot, he is such an excellent player, any words of praise are used for him Not too much on me!"
Jazz coach Schneider said: "We were kicked ass (shaking our heads), and Kane made us pay a heavy price! His personal ability is too strong, and he instantly wiped out our first-half advantage."
After winning this game, the prediction given by the outside world is that the Thunder will eventually advance 4:1 or sweep.The reason is simple, that is, they only scored 3% of their 30 points in this game, which is far below their season average (regular season + playoffs), and neither Pickle nor Westbrook have played to their due level. But they still beat their opponents.It can be seen how high the fault tolerance rate of this team is.
The Thunder players were not so happy, they were very dissatisfied with their performance, especially Westbrook and Pickle.They feel that relying on Xie Kai Carry to win, they pull their hips, and they don't deserve the reputation of a giant.Of course, they didn't mean to be jealous of Xie Kai at all. They were still very grateful to Xie Kai for saving the team so that they would not be "convened" during the season.
On May 5, the series G5 between the Thunder and the Jazz will continue at the Ford Center Arena, home of the Thunder.
In this game, the Jazz, which lost in the previous game, did not change.Their coach, Coach Schneider, and his team do not think that the team's loss is due to the problem of the starting lineup.
At the beginning of this game, Westbrook and Paojiao, who were trash in the previous game, took the lead in showing a strong recovery momentum, scoring consecutive points and stopping their opponents.
The Jazz still chose to flank Xie Kai, but not in advance, but when he entered the 3-point line with the ball, then flanked.The advantage of this is that he can barely keep up with the rotation of the defensive players when he distributes the ball, and he doesn't need to completely empty anyone.
But Xie Kai didn't attack much at the beginning of the game. He has been using it as a tactical point to attract defensive troops.Westbrook and Paojiao are in good condition and have a strong desire to attack. Of course, he will not compete with them for the right to shoot.
A gentleman has the beauty of being an adult, not to mention that everyone is a brother in the trenches, and their goals are the same.
The Jazz fell behind at the start, but they were also tenacious and were not overwhelmed all at once. They still strictly ran tactics and played their best team basketball.
After Xie Kai and Pickled Pepper were off the court during the quarter, the Jazz caught up with the score, and the gap between the two sides was not that big.
