Chapter 271 Foul Crisis
For the Grizzlies, this foul will not cause the opponent to go directly to the free throw line, but this is Xie Kai's fourth foul of the game!
Xie Kai is also very calm, he doesn't care about the referee, because even if there is a home whistle, it is normal.The home team is so far behind, it is normal for the whistle to be a little bit off.
Xie Kai made 4 fouls, and Grizzlies coach Lionel Hollins replaced him with Tony Allen.
When he left the field, the fans of the home team applauded...
Xie Kai scored his 20th point of the game with a dunk before leaving the field.It's a pity that because of foul trouble, he will sit off the court, at least for this half of the game, he won't have to play.
Xie Kai's end still made everyone in the Kings breathe a sigh of relief.The former Kings player is in great shape today and has scored a game-high 20 points.Not only on the offensive end, but he also restrained OJ Mayo on the defensive end, making the latter look as impatient as a rookie on the court.
The Kings felt that hope was coming. The person they feared the most on the opposing team had already been forced to leave the game due to foul trouble.
"This foul is still a bit reluctant!" Mike Brin laughed.
Jeff Van Gundy said: "If there is physical contact, it is indeed okay to call a foul, but the referee's previous scale was a bit wide, and now it is suddenly tightened, which is a bit surprising."
"Kane is in such a good state, he is off, is it a chance for Sacramento?" Mike Breen said.
Jeff Van Gundy shook his head: "Tony's defense will still make OJ very uncomfortable. Now Sacramento doesn't have a scoring point. Unless Tyreke is suddenly good outside, otherwise I want to catch up with double-digit players during this period of time. The score difference is too great and too difficult."
The game continues.
After Xie Kai left the field, the biggest impact on the Grizzlies was on the offensive end.Tony Allen's offense is very inclined to the inside. His shooting, especially long shots, is very average. Like his old teammate Rondo, opponents often let him go outside.His offense mainly relies on breaking through to the basket to score, or cutting to the basket without the ball and attacking the frame to score.Occasionally there will be open shots, but both the number and the hit rate are very average.
But Tony Allen's defense from the Celtics is more brutal than Xie Kai.He is only 193cm tall, but his body is strong, his defense is very tough, and his foot is hard. He is the object that many star backcourt players in the league are afraid of.
I also blame Mayo for being unlucky. I just sent Xie Kai away and welcomed Tony Allen again...
The Grizzlies' offensive efficiency is declining, but they can still score.The black bear inside them is a point that opponents cannot limit. Neither Landry nor Dalembert can limit him one-on-one.Conley on the outside and Xiao Jiasao on the inside are linked internally and externally, making it difficult to defend.Gay on the wing has outstanding one-on-one ability. Although there are sometimes problems in offensive selection, he can really score.
Fortunately, on the Kings side, Evans' mid-range touch has picked up, and his and Landry's offenses can barely match each other's offenses.But the problem is that they are behind, and the problem cannot be solved by confrontation or stalemate.
The fans at the scene were very worried. Although the home team has a backup (the second lineup), the problem is that in the rotation stage, Xie Kai will play. In this way, it will not be so easy to chase points.
With more than 3 minutes left in the third quarter, the two sides changed into rotation lineups one after another.
Thanks for playing!He will play with Arthur, Thabeet, Asie Law and Sam Young.
At this time, the score on the court was 70:60, and the Grizzlies in the away game led by 10 points.
The Grizzlies have the ball!
Asi Law slowly dribbles over.
"Jeff, it's the rotation stage again. I really want to see if Memphis' second team, which has been criticized since the beginning of the season, can play an efficient offense under the leadership of Kane." Mike Breen laughed.
Jeff Van Gundy said, "You'll have to fight to find out."
The Kings used Garcia, who performed well in the first half, to defend Xie Kai.
Here Thabeet received a second pass from Sam Young in the low post.
But facing the heavier Cousins, Thabeet has no advantage in the low post.He wanted to use his footsteps, but his slow speed dragged him down, and he was intercepted by veteran Udri!
The Kings counterattacked, Cousins rushed in the middle, received a pass from Udry, hit Huanglong straight, and dunked!
The point difference was narrowed to 8 points!
There were thunderous cheers at the scene, and the Kings fans were very excited.Cousins is the future hope of this team. He on the inside and Evans and Mayo on the outside are an important part of the future rise of this team.
Asi Lao dribbled the ball and gave it to Xie Kai who came out of the bag.
Xie Kai received the ball on the right wing, and Arthur came out to cover.
With the help of cover, Xie Kai forcibly killed the inside line, faced the defense of his old teammate Jason Thompson, used variable speed to deal with the opponent, cut to the basket, and was blocked by the opponent when he changed hands...
Jason Thompson overshadowed Xie Kai, smiled and said to Xie Kai: "Others don't understand you, but I still understand you quite well!"
Xie Kai also smiled, the relationship between the two is still very good, but now they are their own masters.
Xie Kai was blocked, which made the fans happier than the home team's goal.Everyone excitedly waved the white towels in their hands and expressed their inner joy with cheers.
The Grizzlies serve the baseline.
Xie Kai threw away a position and received the ball.
Although Garcia is getting older, his defense is still very tough. He lowered his center of gravity and kept interfering with Xie Kai with his arms.
Arthur came to cover, and Xie Kai used the screen to play Jason Thompson who switched defenses again.
Jason Thompson does understand Xie Kai's offensive methods and habits, but he doesn't know that Xie Kai has improved again this summer, and he has improved a lot.
Xie Kai took advantage of his speed, seized his position, forcibly walked towards the basket, took off, "turned back and looked at the moon" in the air, and gave the ball to Arthur who was following up.
Arthur catches the ball and dunks with both hands!
"Bang - Darrell's two-handed dunk!" Mike Breen exclaimed!
The point difference was stretched to 10 points again, thanks to the 4th assist of the game.
Jeff Van Gundy shook his head with some dissatisfaction: "DeMarcus' defensive awareness is too poor. How could this ball allow Darrell to penetrate to the basket so easily? This ball should be stuck!"
This is Arthur's first dunk in this game, he dunked very well!Because after the Black Bear came back, he returned to the bench, but no one passed him such a comfortable ball, so his performance plummeted.How much he hopes that Xie Kai can play with him, so that his performance will definitely be better.
