Chapter 275 The first triple-double of the season
In the first quarter of the game, Xie Kai performed comprehensively, scoring 4 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 1 block, filling the data column.
The game entered the rotation stage, and the Grizzlies saved a 7-point advantage in the starting lineup stage.
The Suns' second team is dominated by Goran Dragic, supplemented by Warrick, Channing Frye, Dudley and others. It is a lineup with both vitality and shooting skills.
The Grizzlies' No. 2 unit has been notoriously weak this season, especially offensively, so home fans still secretly sweat for them.
It's just that the Grizzlies' second lineup is weak relative to the offensive end, and the defensive end is still quite reliable and tough.As soon as the second teams of the two teams played against each other, they saluted each other with iron strikes and mistakes.It's been almost 2 minutes since the game, and the score hasn't moved at all.
For the leading Grizzlies, it is acceptable for both teams to play iron.I didn't expect the second team to widen the point difference, as long as it can survive this period smoothly.
But what I didn't expect was that Warrick, nicknamed "Helicopter", suddenly broke out and hit consecutive baskets, narrowing the point difference to only 2 points.
Warrick almost single-handedly stopped the Grizzlies, making it impossible for the opponent to transition smoothly through this cycle.
Grizzlies fans are no strangers to Warrick. The 05th pick in the first round of the 19 draft was selected by the home team. He played here for 4 seasons.
Back then, the Grizzlies also had high expectations for Warrick, hoping that this physically fit forward could become a pillar of the team's interior like Stoudemire of the Suns.Unexpectedly, at the end of his rookie season, this person still did not grow up, and finally gave up on him.
But who thought that Warrick, who had been completely reduced to a substitute, would suddenly explode in this regular season with his old club, which is really embarrassing.
In the first quarter of the game, relying on Warrick's explosion, the Suns chased the score to 26:28 at the end of the quarter, only 2 points behind.
"Hajim's explosion was unexpected by Memphis. I didn't expect this old general to become the X factor of this game!" Kevin Harlan laughed.
Reggie Miller said: "Hagem's outbreak is indeed difficult to predict, but Memphis's second team is still a big problem. It is not very realistic to rely on defense alone to survive this period of time!"
Grizzlies fans booed Warrick as he wrecked his own rim.
Warrick has a good mentality. The Suns are already his fourth team in the NBA, and he is already used to playing games at his old club's home court.
Arthur couldn't restrain Warrick, and without partnering with Xie Kai, his threat on the offensive end was reduced by half.
At the beginning of the second quarter, the away Suns relied on the better offensive ability of the substitute lineup to overtake the score and control the rhythm of the field.
The official timeout of the second quarter has not yet arrived. Grizzlies coach Lionel Hollins directly requested a timeout and replaced the main force.
"Lionel seems to be going to replace Zach and his main players!" Kevin Harlan said.
Reggie Miller nodded in agreement: "The second team was beaten a bit badly, so we can only work hard with the starting lineup for a while. Fortunately, the starting players in Memphis are young enough, and their physical fitness should not be a problem."
The timeout ends and the game continues.
At this time, the Grizzlies at home were 31 points behind the Suns at 35:4.
Conley slowly dribbled the ball and gave it to Xie Kai on the right wing.
Xie Kai received the ball and lobbed it to the black bear in the low post on the right.
The black bear faced Warrick, turned his back and forced him.
Warrick's projectile speed is amazing, and his speed is very fast, but if the tonnage and strength are compared with the black bear, the gap is too obvious.He couldn't bear it anymore, and Dudley, who was near the baseline, came to help defend.
The black bear didn't force the attack and returned the ball to Xie Kai.
Xie Kai made a lucky one to attract the opponent's rotation. With a flick of his left hand, the ball was given to Guy in the bottom corner of the right wing.
Gay received the ball, wide open, he dribbled a step and made a 2-pointer!
The ball hits!Reduce the point difference to 2 points!Xie Kai's 4th assist!
"Rudy doesn't seem to be very confident in his 3-pointers?" Kevin Harlan laughed.
Reggie Miller said with a smile: "I think he is very decisive when he shoots 3-pointers against people, but he won't shoot when he is wide open. It is also quite strange."
"You thought everyone was you, Reggie?" Kevin Harlan quipped.
Reggie Miller spread out his hands: "I also feel cold sometimes."
The Grizzlies have increased their strength on the defensive end. Here, Dragic almost made a dribble error, but the pass was still not spared, and was directly intercepted by Xie Kai!
After Xie Kai steals the ball, he counterattacks on the spot, and passes to Conley for a layup while on the move!
Xie Kai's 5rd assist!
The Grizzlies instantly equalized the score!
This time it's the Suns' turn to suspend!
The atmosphere of the entire FedEx Arena instantly rose, and the high-hanging hearts of the home team fans in the stands were also relieved.The Grizzlies lineup has indeed rarely disappointed everyone this season.Such a quick and effective reversal of the situation is indeed awesome.
"The effect of Memphis' first comeback is really obvious!" Kevin Harlan laughed.
Reggie Miller said: "The season is so long, if you rely too much on starting, it will also increase the risk of injury for players."
Pause back, the game continues.
On the Suns side, Nash assisted Robin and hit the basket to stabilize the situation.
But looking back, the Black Bears singled Warrick, attracted double-teams and assisted Xie Kai who slipped to the bottom line and made a layup!
Answer ball!
On the Suns side, Grant Hill was emptied outside the 3-point line. He hesitated to make a shot-hit the front frame!
Long rebounds!
Xie Kai got the fourth rebound of the game and handed it over to Conley to play slowly.
The rhythm of the game was gradually controlled by the Grizzlies at home.
Xie Kai turned into LeBron of the Grizzlies on the court, and his all-round performance made people feel at ease and satisfied.
"Kane Xie described him as a pitcher before he entered the league, but I didn't expect him to have so many things in his arsenal." Kevin Harlan laughed.
Reggie Miller laughed: "About Kane, too many people were surprised by this, remember Charles?"
The two looked at each other and smiled.
At the end of the half game, the Grizzlies relied on the strength of the starting lineup to end the first half with a 57:51 lead by 6 points.
谢开上半场贡献8分7个篮板6次助攻3个抢断1次盖帽，表现极其全面。
The game in the second half was very similar to the first half. The main force of the Grizzlies had the advantage and opened up some points. The second team was chased and the point difference was forced to close.
In the final quarter, the Grizzlies played their main force and finally maintained their advantage until the end. They won the game, defeated their opponents, succeeded in revenge, and ushered in two consecutive victories.
谢开本场比赛出战38分钟，得到18分12个篮板11个助攻5个抢断1次盖帽，拿到本赛季首个三双。
