Chapter 347 Two Straight Wins in the Playoffs
Mark Jackson explained: "I think he made two-handed preparations. If the opponent doesn't come to help defend, he will fight by himself, and then choose to pass to his teammates after helping to defend."
Groom Albert suddenly realized: "It makes sense to say that. I also felt that Kane didn't seem to have made a temporary decision."
The home team's bench, the Grizzlies players were very excited, as if they had already won the game.
At this time, Xie Kai reminded: "Brothers, there are 16.1 seconds left in the game. If we insist on defending this wave, we will win!"
As soon as he said this, it made the young people of the Grizzlies sober up.Indeed, the game is not over yet, and it's too early to talk about celebration.And he didn't directly address anyone with his words, he used insinuations so that his teammates would not feel uncomfortable.
Veteran Shane Battier looked at Xie Kai with admiration. At this time, Coach Hollins struck while the iron was hot and said: "The game is not over yet, let's do a good job of defending this time. Wait for us to defend like this..."
At this moment, it is the best mentality of Grizzlies fans since the start of the game.Even if the opponent makes a 3-pointer, overtime can still be played.But is the 3-pointer really that easy to make?You must know that the home team will definitely guard against the opponent's 3-pointers. It is really impossible to defend 2 points, and it is over. Even if the foul is made and the opponent goes to the free throw line, the opponent cannot catch up with the score in one round.
Moreover, the other party has not paused!
The timeout is over, and the most critical time of the game has arrived!
The Grizzlies took the Black Bears and took Tony Allen.This round is mainly defensive, and it is to defend the opponent's 3-pointer. The movement of the black bear is still slow when facing the opponent's small man.
The Spurs took McDyess and "Red Mamba" Matt Bonner.
The Spurs throw in-bounds.
The Grizzlies didn't foul and the ball was successfully delivered.
Parker holds the ball, breaks through, and the opponent doesn't care, he is a demon knife from outside.
The demon knife used cover, but the opportunity never came out!Time is running out, he can only withstand the opponent's defensive jumper for 3 points - no!
The rebound was picked up by my sister-in-law, who threw the ball into the air, and the time ran out!
In the end, the Grizzlies narrowly beat the Spurs at home with 91:88 and 3 points, rewriting the total score of the series to 2:1!
The ribbons over the FedEx Arena fell one after another. These were all prepared in advance. Since the arena was built, it has never won a playoff game.There are not as many championship banners in the sky above the arena as the Spurs' home court, but this night belongs to the Grizzlies!
The players and coaching staff of the Grizzlies hugged each other, looking very excited.This game was indeed difficult, the score was never widened, they persisted to the end and defeated the No. [-] opponent in the Western Conference.
The Spurs players who lost the game left the arena one after another with frustration on their faces and returned to the visiting team's locker room.For them, it is unacceptable to lose to such an opponent after the GDP is combined.
The Grizzlies fans at FedEx Arena hardly left early, and everyone was enjoying this long-lost victory.The significance of this victory is not only the first win of the playoffs at home for the Grizzlies, but also means that they have rewritten the total score of the series to 2:1!
You must know that since the first round of the playoffs was changed to a 7-match 4-win system a few years ago, it has theoretically reduced the probability of a black-eight miracle.From the perspective of probability, the more games there are, the more likely the stronger team will win.This is the difference between the NBA playoffs and NCAA March Madness.
And now the Grizzlies, after winning two games in a row, more and more people have begun to support them.After all, everyone thinks that No.1 wins are commonplace, and the miracle of the black eight does not happen every year.Their supporters don't think their current 2-1 lead is based on an upset.In the case of the Spurs playing all their cards, they still defeated their opponents at home, and they did not rely on the home whistle or other despicable means.
The next series, G4, will continue to be played at the home court of the Grizzlies.If they win the game again in one go, it almost means pushing the Spurs to a desperate situation.
Xie Kai hugged his teammates and his parents who came to watch the game.He was really happy today because the team won.Nothing makes him happier than winning, and for a basketball nerd like him, that's it.
谢开本场比赛出战了38分11秒，19投10中，其中3分球6投2中，罚球10罚7中，得到29分12个篮板6个助攻3个抢断1个盖帽，连续第2场比赛有出色的发挥。
12 rebounds also set a new high for Xie Kai's NBA playoff career. As a guard with a height of less than 2 meters, being able to grab so many rebounds in a field full of people is no longer explained by good luck. .
After the game, Xie Kai was interviewed by reporters on the court.
"Congratulations on winning the game, Kane!" The reporter congratulated.
"Thank you, I'm really happy!" Xie Kai was still immersed in the joy of winning.
"Kane, you are leading 2:1 now, and you are very hopeful to complete the 'Black Eight Miracle'. What do you think of this?" The reporter asked.
Xie Kai smiled slightly: "The Spurs are a very strong team, I won't think about it now. There is an old saying in China that 'you have to eat every bite'!"
"What do you mean?" The reporter is an American, so where has he heard this.
Xie Kai explained patiently: "It means that the game has to be played one game at a time. The series is very long. I won't think about things that haven't happened yet."
The reporter finally understood, and he immediately changed the topic: "Manu came back in this game and scored 20 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists. What do you think of his performance?"
This question is a bit sensitive, because it is Xie Kai himself who is defending the Demon Sword.
Xie Kai thought for a while and said: "Manu is an All-Star player and a very good No. 2. I admire his courage to play despite injuries. He is a role model for our international players. He is very good, but I will go Try to defend him, try to contain him and help the team beat the team he is on."
"Are you confident in beating the Spurs in G4?" the reporter asked.
Xie Kai continued to smile: "I'm confident, but I don't think it's easy to do, but I will do my best!"
After the game, as if an agreement had been made, those who were not optimistic about the Grizzlies before stopped speaking, and suddenly there were many so-called experts who were optimistic about the Grizzlies.
For those so-called experts who eat media food, Xie Kai really has a thousand and ten thousand contempt in his heart.He feels that these people really have no principles and no persistence.Since you choose to believe in the Spurs, you should stick to it to the end. What kind of skill is it to play with the wind?In competitive sports, there is no permanent winner. The game is not played by blowing, but playing.
