Chapter 375 The Toughest Asian Player
"Yeeees—Sean hit a 3! Sean hit a 3!" the DJ on the scene exclaimed.
The Mavericks are suspended immediately!
The entire FedEx Arena fell into madness in an instant, and the atmosphere on the scene was extremely hot. Coupled with the explosive dance of the hot cheerleaders, it almost exploded.
"A small climax of 7:0!" Mike Breen laughed, "Memphis can get off to a good start!"
Jeff Van Gundy said: "Last season, we couldn't imagine that the Grizzlies starting lineup with Zach and Mark could play such a transition attack! Kane Xie brought this team far more than imagined many."
Pause back, the game continues.
The old Kidd dribbled over and organized an offense at the top of the arc.
The Mavericks still have a lot of experience. Facing the interference of away fans and the opponent's more aggressive defense due to a small climax, they still played calmly.
Nuo Tianwang got the ball on the right wing, and after three threats, he suddenly shot a jumper—a precise hit!
The Mavericks broke the scoring drought.
"Dirk's jump shot has a really high arc and is extremely difficult to block!" Mike Breen laughed.
"A big man with a height of 7 feet is really too difficult to block the jumper! If you defend him in a misplaced position, he will shoot you. If the big man defends him, he can pass it suddenly." Jeff Van Gundy said.
The Grizzlies attack here, Xie opens the top of the arc to hold the ball, uses the cover to rush in, and the Mavericks attack!
"Dallas helped defend so early, do they want to let Sean's corner 3 points?" Mike Breen said in surprise.
The answer is that the guess is half right. The Mavericks have done a good job in rotation. Xie Kai's ball is not slow, but when the ball reaches Battier's hands, it is not completely open.It can only be said that this is called "half-open position". It is no problem to catch the ball and shoot directly, but if you hesitate or adjust a little, the opponent's defense will be in place.
Battier hesitated for a moment, but didn't make a move.The ball was returned to Conley at the top of the arc.In this way, the opportunity created by Xie Kai to attract the flanking attack is tantamount to being lost.
"The Dallas Mavericks have really experienced defense. They are actually very cunning in this way. The rotation players are in the area between Mark in the high position and Sean in the corner. Once your shot is not decisive enough, their rotation can be in place. This is actually blocking you The decisiveness of the shot, if one of these two guys doesn't feel good, they tend to focus on guarding the other guy." Jeff Van Gundy explained.
After the Mavericks broke the scoring drought, their players became more calm.They were all veterans who had been in the field for a long time. They were a little confused when they were beaten by the opponent just now, but they stabilized quickly.
The game entered a stalemate. The Grizzlies couldn't solve the problem of the stability of Xie Kai's open shots after attracting the pincers. Instead, they hesitated and made two mistakes that shouldn't have happened.
But the Grizzlies still maintain their lead. Their defense is very good, and it is not easy for the opponent to score.
The Grizzlies entered the first rotation with an advantage.Although leading, the Grizzlies fans at the scene had no idea at all.You must know that in the last game, the fear of their second team being dominated by Terry is still vivid.
Grizzlies coach Hollins was not as worried as the fans. The reason why he let Tony Allen play as a substitute was because he was targeted in the starting lineup and dragged down the team's offense.But on the other hand, he is also looking forward to allowing his league's top perimeter defensive ability to limit the opponent's best sixth man Terry.
Terry is only 191cm tall, which is considered a combo guard in the backcourt, while Tony Allen is 193cm tall, and the two are close in height. It stands to reason that they should be very suitable for defense.
But the basketball game is not one-on-one, but a five-on-five team game.Terry is not a Jamal Crawford-like player who relies entirely on the ball to go it alone. His ability to catch and shoot off the ball is also outstanding, and he is very good at using screens.
And the player who broke out in the second team of the Mavericks in this game was not Terry, but Barea!
Barea is only 178cm tall, and the 198cm Vazquez is so uncomfortable against him.He is fast, powerful, like a small steel ball, and has an excellent shot, making it hard to guard against.
Not surprisingly, the Grizzlies' second team was blown up again.It's just slightly better than the last game. The opponent's second team's offensive efficiency in this game is not as high as the previous game.
The advantage accumulated by the Grizzlies' starting lineup disappeared in an instant.When Xie Kai came back, the team was already 3 points behind the opponent.
The game continues.
Conley dribbled the ball and gave it to the low-post Black Bear.
The efficiency of the Black Bear in the first quarter is also average. The boxing champion is too tough, the defense is very good, and the size is also good. He is really difficult to play in the low post.
But the black bear is also an all-star power forward, so he has arrogance. How can he admit that he was defended by the opponent, forced to attack, and finally hit the iron!
The little sister-in-law grabbed an offensive rebound, and Xie Kai suddenly made an empty cut!
Xiaojiasao gave the ball to Xie Kai, and helped the latter cover the chasing Terry.
Xie Kai catches the ball and makes a quick stop jump shot—hit!
The difference is reduced to 1 point!
The boxing champion of the Mavericks was going to eat cakes under the basket, but was slapped off by the black bear!
The ball hit the boxing champion and went out of the baseline, the Grizzlies have the ball!
The Black Bears finally regained their face on the defensive end and showed their arrogance to the bottom line fans.
The Grizzlies attack, Xie Kai moves without the ball, catches Battier's pass from the corner, flies Terry, and hits a mid-range jumper!
The Grizzlies overtake!Mavericks timeout!
The Grizzlies fans in the stands were really about to cry. They really felt powerless when the team's second lineup was beaten by the opponent just now!
Fortunately, Xie Kai came back, and the excited fans shouted "God K", "God K!", "God K, I love you!" to express their inner excitement.
A black fan wearing Xie Kai's No. 23 jersey said excitedly to his companions: "Fortunately, we have 'Contemporary Michael' God K. If he is here, we will not lose!"
"Jeff, Kane Xie is really good. This kind of scoring when the team is behind is far more important than carrying when the team is ahead!" Mike Breen laughed.
Jeff Van Gundy nodded and said: "Kane Xie is indeed not as gentle as he looks, he is very tough, I have never seen any Asian player as tough as him. It is no exaggeration to say that his Fighting spirit reminds me of AI."
Back from the timeout, the Mavericks made personnel adjustments. Terry, who had scored 4 consecutive points by Xie Kai just now, was replaced by Stevenson, and Barea was also replaced by Old Kidd.
