Chapter 572: The Final Player
Chapter 572
距离比赛结束还剩1分05秒的时候，灰熊队以80:79领先1分。
At this time, the sidelines were in a suspended state, and it was called by the Grizzlies.There is still a timeout for each side, and the ball is still owned by the Grizzlies, but the game is far from the time to decide the winner.
Yang Jian said: "This game was really tragic. Who would have thought that the scores of the two teams would be so low!"
Yang Yi said: "This is a playoff game. Two strong defensive teams meet, creating such a low-scoring game."
The home team fans in the stands were very nervous, and some even stood up.The DJ on the scene was calming the emotions of the fans and cheering for the team. Obviously, although there is only a 1-point gap, the advantage is still on the Grizzlies side, because they hold the ball and still have a 1-point advantage.
An advantage of 1 point is indeed not safe. A goal in a sports game is at least 2 points, two free throws, and both free throws can be tied.But what if everyone doesn't score?
Then the advantage of 1 point may determine the victory of the game. In an NBA game, at the end, even a small advantage can determine everything.And that doesn't include the psychological advantage of being ahead.
The timeout ends and the game continues.
In the lineup of the decisive stage of the two sides, the Grizzlies are the starting lineup, while the Spurs have Leonard and the Demon Sword.
The Grizzlies throw in-bounds.
The Spurs defended very tightly, but they didn't foul easily.They are too experienced. At this time, blindly fouling and sending the opponent to the free throw line is the most uneconomical.
The ball comes out, Conley catches it, dribbles over.
It was still Danny Green who opened the defense.
Replace Leonard's demon sword to face the old prince.
"Who will the ball go to? Xie Kai, or Randolph?" Yang Jian said to himself.
Xie Kai was entangled by Danny Green. With the help of the White Bear's off-ball screen, he came out of the bottom line to catch the ball.
Conley immediately gave the ball to Xie Kai.
Yang Yi sighed: "We still have to open up this point, he is the most confident point! In the NBA, at critical moments, the ball will still be handed over to outside superstars."
Many Spurs fans in the stands showed fear on their faces. Obviously, what Xie Kai brought to them was not a good memory.
谢开在这之前已经得到25分9个篮板6次助攻4个抢断2个盖帽，虽然命中率不高，但依然是目前全场得分最高的球员。
Danny Green has done a good job. He limited Xie Kai's shooting percentage to below his personal playoff average, and he has completed the task.But even so, the most critical time has come. If these two rounds cannot be prevented, everything before will become empty talk.
Xie Kai held the ball on the left wing, and his teammates pulled away, cleared one side, and let him play one by one.
Yang Jian was a little surprised: "Don't Xie Kai play a pick-and-roll or something?"
Yang Yi explained: "The Spurs have done a good job of defending the screen. If they block, they may be flanked and affect the offense. And even if they block, the opponent's delay is good, which may waste offensive time, and may even cause a bad attack. Necessary mistake."
Danny Green's position is a little close, but not dead.Xie Kai is a very good scorer who shoots and breaks through. Blindly shooting or shooting may pay the price for this.
The eyes of more than 2 people at the scene were on Xie Kai. It can be said that his goal may determine the final outcome of the game.
Danny Green is very focused on responding to every move of one of the NCAA opponents. At that time, he may never have thought that this Asian with very ordinary physical conditions would stand at the top of the No. 2 position in the NBA.
With 11 seconds left in the attack time, Xie Kai started.
Xie Kai holds the ball in his left hand, turns his crotch to his right hand, and at the same time moves his body's center of gravity to the right.
Danny Green reacted quickly and immediately moved to the left to block the opponent's breakthrough line.
Xie Kai approached Danny Green, and dribbled the ball behind his right hand to his left hand in an instant.And almost at the same time, his center of gravity has moved to the left, and the fast movement of the center of gravity shows his super flexibility.
Danny Green wasn't completely hoodwinked, obviously having studied Xie Kai's game and was familiar with his offense.As the best defensive player in the league's No. 2 position, this guard from North Carolina has very solid basic skills and a solid defense.I saw him moving to the right and rear, but he was not in a hurry to block the opponent, allowing the opponent to move in a different direction, so that he would not lose his position and not be called to block the foul.
Although it is only a moment for a master to fight, there are many places worth recalling.
Xie Kai walks towards the baseline with the ball in his left hand, bows to Buddha after in-out with his left hand!
Danny Green was not fooled!
Xie Kai pulled the ball from his crotch and handed it over to his right hand. After taking two strong steps, he pulled the ball from his right hand to his left hand, flashed out of space, and shot a fallback jumper...
Danny Green could only limit this ball, but he couldn't stop Xie Kai from making a shot.He has already defended to the extreme, and the rest can only be resigned to fate.
Xie Kai's fadeaway jumper, he has a very stable center of gravity. He asked Kobe, a great expert in this movement, how to maintain his center of gravity during a fadeaway jumper.
Kobe was very generous, he didn't hide his secrets at all, and taught Xie Kai his private goods, which made the latter grateful for a long time.
Xie Kai's fadeaway jumper is not as elegant as Kobe's, but his shooting posture is also very beautiful and smooth.
The ball was spinning in the air, and many fans at the scene stood up!
"Shua—" The ball crashed into the net!
Wow--
"The ball went in, and Xie Kai's jump shot went in! It's so beautiful!" Yang Jian exclaimed.
There was a sigh in the AT&T Center Arena——
At 82:79, the Grizzlies pulled the score to 43 points with 3 seconds left in the game!
There was a timeout on the sidelines, called by the Spurs.
Popovich used up his last timeout of the game, and the situation at this time was very unfavorable to them. In 43 seconds, both teams have at least one chance to attack.
Many Spurs fans dare not look at this score. Obviously, how unfavorable this score is to the home team.
As long as the Grizzlies don't die and the Spurs don't excel, they are almost undefeated in regular time.
The Spurs now have two options, one is to play a good wave and complete a 3-pointer; the other option is to play a quick two-pointer and then defend a wave.
Yang Jian was still very excited: "Xie Kai really proved himself. Many American colleagues on the Internet said that he is just a regular season player."
Yang Yi shook his head: "This is a prejudice against our Chinese players! The ultimate goal of the Grizzlies' introduction of Xie Kai is this. They were also a very strong team before, but they lacked a player who can make the final decision at a critical moment. Now they have found such a player. players, this team is really scary in the playoffs."
