Chapter 826 Career Score High
Xie Kai only played 3 minutes and 7 seconds in the third quarter. According to the regular rotation, he will be replaced in about 53 minutes, and then come up with about 6 minutes left to lead the team's second team.But because he played so well and the team's offense needed him so much, he was replaced in almost 2 minutes.
可即便如此，谢开依然9投7中砍下22分！加上上半场得到的18分，等于他在3节没打完已经轰下了40分！
Under the leadership of Xie Kai, all the soldiers of the Thunder team were excited and played very actively. Facing such a strong opponent, they took the lead in the score.
Coach Donovan certainly doesn't want to replace Xie Kai. In fact, if Xie Kai's physical fitness is unlimited and he won't get injured, he hopes to let him play for 48 minutes!
But the problem is that Xie Kai is a human, not a machine, and this is just a regular season after all.Donovan didn't want to take risks, and he didn't have the capital to take risks, because he only had one Xie Kai!
After Xie Kai left the field, the Thunder players were also very active, but the opponent was a 4-star Warrior, and the lineup gap was too large. When the offense was blocked, the opponent's counterattack slowly started.
Fortunately, the opponent had to take a rest in rotation, so even though they were hit a lot, the score was not behind.
When Xie Kai played, the score was 72:72, and the two sides drew.
After Xie Kai played, the Warriors still had a single defense against him. Klay was the starter, and Iguodala was the rotation.
Yu Jiana wondered: "Are the Warriors really planning to defend alone for the entire game? Xie Kai has already scored 40 points. Could it be that they think that Klay Thompson and Iguodala can limit him one-on-one today?" ?”
Yang Yi explained: "I think Coach Kerr may be trying."
"Try? See what the effect of one-on-one anti-thank you can be?" Yu Jia asked.
"Yes!" Yang Yi nodded, "When the two teams met for the first time, the Thunder's Big Three were all there. They also defended Xie Kai alone in that game. There is no way. You can't really ignore Paul George and Paul George. Westbrook, they are not Robertson and Adams. Xie Kai played very well in that game, but the Thunder still lost, so the Warriors think it is correct to defend Xie Kai alone. As long as you guard other people, you can't kill me alone. It's no problem for them to continue to defend like this in this game. George is not here, but George will always come back, so they have to stick to the style of play when George comes back."
The Warriors' second lineup was not a pure substitute like in the first half. They let Clay and Green lead the team, together with other substitute players, to deal with the Thunder's second team led by Xie Kai.
The Warriors have been playing this way before. They have 4 All-Stars, which can be completely disassembled, so as to avoid the situation where there are no giants present in the transition period and the offense and defense are weak.
Clay is in the second lineup, which can solve the offensive space problem of the Warriors' second true part.Livingston and Iguodala have top-notch ball quotients, can hold the ball or off the ball, and have a wide vision of passing the ball, but outside shooting is really dependent on the sky. One has no 2 points at all, and the other is an almighty god who depends on the sky for shooting. , If there is no Klay, a sharp shooter, to partner with them, the opponent can stand inside the 2-point line to defend.
The two teams played inextricably.The Warriors' shooting ability is insufficient, and there are too many points to hold the ball. Almost everyone can hold the ball, and everyone can play without the ball.
And because of the single defense, Xie Kai was still able to personally forcibly score points. By the end of the third quarter, his personal score in a single quarter had reached 3 points.
After 3 quarters, the Warriors led by 82 point 81:1.
The last quarter of the game started, and after the two sides played in the second team for a while, they sent the main force.
Xie Kai didn't rest for 1 minute in the final quarter. In this game, he only rested for 6 minutes, creating the most playing time of this season.The Warriors still defend him alone, mainly limiting the performance of other players.
Xie Kai is also welcome, I will take whatever you give me, no matter if it is Clay Defense or Iguodala Defense, anyone who comes is welcome.
The score has been anxious, but in the second half of the final quarter, the physical fitness of the Warriors' main players declined, and their offensive efficiency also declined.The Thunder's tactics are relatively simple, but their offensive efficiency is higher.
In the last minute of the game, the score was 1:105. The Thunder led by 108 points and still had the ball.
The Warriors played 5 small lineups, with Green playing center and Durant power forward.
The Thunder's lineup has also been reduced, and Grant replaced Ilyasova.
Yu Jia sighed: "The game has come to this point, and everyone has shown their cards. There is no doubt that the Warriors are playing the fifth team of death, and the Thunder team is playing a lineup of one big and four small. Yang Yi, is it possible? When Pickled Pepper comes back in the future, the Thunder will also play 5 small lineups?"
Yang Yi nodded: "It's possible, but I just think it would be a bit troublesome for the Thunder to use a small lineup of 5 on the defensive end."
"There is no center!" Yu Jia said.
"Yes, Chasing Dream Green is a very good small-ball center. Although he is only 2 meters long, his defensive statistics are very good. His frame protection efficiency and single-defense efficiency are all at the forefront of the league. But once the Thunder hit 5 small balls Lineup, if you play Adams, whether it is Grant or Paul George, the effect of playing 5 will not be better than Green." Yang Yi said.
The Thunder team throws the ball out of bounds and Xie Kai gets it.
Xie Kai came over with the ball, and the Thunder pulled away.
Xie Kai wasted time at the top of the arc. Obviously, they were leading, so there was no need to rush to attack.
The Warriors are ready for battle, and they are under a lot of pressure, because although they are only 3 points behind, the game will be over in less than 1 minute. If the opponent makes another hit, their chances will be reduced by one point.
Xie Kai had already scored a new NBA regular season career high-54 points before this. Even the Warriors felt the pressure.
"The Warriors have never flanked. Xie Kai scored 54 points. I don't think they will be able to flank in this round!" Yu Jia laughed.
Xie Kai faced Klay, and with 8 seconds left on the attack clock, he activated...
Clay didn't dare to go up to the grab, because Xie Kai put too much pressure on him, as if he would be wiped out by the opponent as long as he reached out for the ball.
Such a powerful threat of attack made the sweat on Clay's forehead fall into his eyes, and he didn't dare to reach out to wipe it off.
Xie Kai didn't go to pick and roll with Westbrook to deliberately hit Curry, nor did he go to pick and roll with Duck to play Green in a misplaced pick and roll.
Some Warriors fans with poor mental quality in the stands didn't dare to watch. They were afraid that Xie Kai would score another magical 3 points and completely kill the game.
