Chapter 268 The protagonist of the story
Conley made a pass error on the Grizzlies side...
The Kings counterattacked, Casspi quickly made a layup, and they took a 6:2 lead!
The atmosphere of Sleep Train Arena reached the first climax of the game!This is what the fans like to see (the home team played well, Xie Kai performed rubbish).
Conley slowly dribbles the ball across half court.
The little sister-in-law came up to cover, and the two cooperated, and the ball fell into his hands.He responded from the high post and gave the ball to Gay who cut open on the weak side.
Guy's air cut was blocked, and the ball returned to Xiaojiasao.
The little sister-in-law looked at all directions and listened to all directions, and gave the ball to Xie Kai who was open in the right corner!
Xie Kai received the ball, and Mayo quickly returned to defense, but it was still a step too late, he had already shot...
Xie Kai's 3-pointer did not hit, but his body rushed out almost at the same time after the shot...
Xie Kai grabbed the rebound, took a step, got up and took off into the air...
Dalembert and Carl Landry under the basket flew up like a double block, and went to block the block to thank Kai!
Xie Kai passed the ball through the gap between the two and gave it to the black bear Randolph on the right.
Randolph catches the ball and hits the board easily!
The Grizzlies narrowed the point difference to 2 points!Thank you for the first assist!
"The pass was so subtle!" Mike Breen praised.
Jeff Van Gundy nodded and said: "The sense of rhythm is well grasped, and the fake action deceived the opponent's two insiders."
The Kings attacked here, and Mayo received the ball from the left and singled it out.
The fans at the scene started booing, everyone wanted to see these two one-on-one.
"Come on, the protagonists of the story are starting to play!" Mike Brin laughed.
Mayo's eyes were very cold. The deal he made with Xie Kai this summer really made him feel insulted.No matter what he said, he was also a prospect, and he performed very well last season. He felt that he was at a loss when he exchanged with Xie Kai, and he still wanted to add Henry, a lottery pick?
Mayo was so angry that his stomach was about to explode. This was an insult!
Facing Xie Kai, Mayo changed direction continuously, and forcibly walked to the right to break through.
Xie Kai's lateral movement is very fast, he does not give the opponent a chance to seize his position, and uses his body and movement to limit the opponent's breakthrough.
Mayo's breakthrough failed, and he changed direction and made a breakthrough to the left-but there was still no room to get out of the way.He forced an emergency stop, feinted, and the opponent was not fooled.At this time the ball is dead, he can only distribute the ball to Evans at the top of the arc.
There was not much time left in the attack, Evans forced Conley, went to the basket, and was ruthlessly blocked by Xiaojiasao!
The ball went out of the baseline, and there were only 1.4 seconds left on the shot clock.
"Jeff, why doesn't OJ have an advantage when playing Kane?" Mike Breen asked.
Jeff Van Gundy said: "OJ played the 2nd position in high school and college. It is true that his physical condition is sufficient. In the NBA, he does not have an advantage. His speed and confrontation are not in the face of Kane. advantage, it is really difficult to compete in singles like one-on-one."
The Kings sent the baseline ball, and Casspi was disturbed when he received the ball. He took a dribble and was about to make a shot. The voice sounded when 24 seconds were up.
The Grizzlies have the ball!
This side is still the black bear's strong attack under the basket, attracting double-teams again, the ball is transferred, and the ball is in the hands of Xie Kai in the bottom corner.
Xie Kai catches the ball and makes a decisive 3-pointer—hit!
The ball was not completely open. Mayo had already defended it very well, but Xie Kai was very decisive and seized this fleeting opportunity without any hesitation.
"Bang—Kane hits a 3 and Memphis takes the lead!" Mike Breen exclaimed.
"At least from the current point of view, Kane has not been disturbed by the fans at the scene, and his mentality is still very good." Jeff Van Gundy said.
The Kings request a timeout!
In just a blink of an eye, after the Grizzlies trailed by 2 points 6:4, they played a 5:0 spurt and instantly overtook the score.In this small climax, Xie Kai dominated this wave with 1 rebound, 1 assist and 1 3-pointer.
The home fans who were still gloating just now felt as if they had eaten shit. Xie Kai used practical actions to shut up the fans.
The scene became much quieter, Xie Kai and other main players returned to the bench.
"Great job!" Darrell Arthur came over excitedly and gave Xie a high five.Because of Randolph's comeback, he returned to the bench.But he is also really happy for his teammates and good friends. He has not experienced what Xie Kai is currently experiencing, but he can understand how difficult it is.Just the booing all over the sky, the interference to the players is unbearable for ordinary people, not to mention the two people, Mayo and Evans, who are staring at each other!
Pause back, the game continues.
On the Kings' side, Evans used the pick-and-roll to forcefully break into Mayo from the outside line, and the latter made a shot against Xie Kai's defense—and there was!
The Kings also overtook!
After scoring the goal, Mayo spat some trash talk at Xie Kai!
The home team fans at the scene found a chance, and the cheers came back again!
For the Grizzlies, Gay missed!
But the Black Bears grabbed an offensive rebound and the ball returned to Conley.
"Memphis' inside advantage is still obvious!" Jeff Van Gundy said.
Xie Kai caught the ball and hit the ground to the Black Bear. The Black Bear forced Landry and caused a foul!
The Grizzlies sideline serve.
The Black Bears received the ball in the low post, stormed the inside, and scored Xie Kai who moved without the ball.
Xie Kai marched for the indirect ball, facing Mayo's pursuit and defense, suddenly made an emergency stop and faltered, and the latter took off!
Xie Kai took advantage of the situation and made a foul!
Mayo was dissatisfied with the referee's penalty, but Xie Kai looked calm, his expression as calm as water.In fact, his heart is turbulent.He is suppressing his emotions. He must focus on the game and not let his emotions control his brain.
Naturally, Mayo's accusation has no effect. The foul on the ball is obvious, and there is no need for special explanation or revision of the sentence.
Xie Kai stood on the free throw line, and he had to execute two free throws.
There was a tsunami of disturbances and boos at the scene.The fans of the home team behind the baseline almost threw the plastic sticks and white towels in their hands.What's even more funny is that some bottom-line fans are holding O'Neal's head to interfere with Xie Kai...
Xie Kai walked to the free throw line, adjusted his breathing, and made a free throw!
Immediately afterwards, he continued to hit his second free throw!
The Grizzlies once again lead the score!
"Kane was almost overwhelmed by boos!" Mike Breen laughed.
"It's really not easy for a young player to withstand the pressure and play steadily in this situation!" Jeff Van Gundy nodded.
On the Kings side, Landry's interior offense was interfered--missed!
Turn around and Gay hits a jumper!
The Grizzlies lead by 3 points!
The Kings Evans has no middle distance either!
Here, the black bear biography Gay was intercepted by Evans!
Evans made a conversion pass to Mayo, but was intercepted by Xie Kai!
There was a burst of exclamation at the scene...
