"The second team of the Los Angeles Clippers is better offensively!" Kevin Harlan said.
"Well, it seems that Memphis is going to make an early substitution!" Steve Kerr said.
Kevin Harlan turned his head to look at Steve Kerr and said with a smile: "Should be changed, Lionel can't stand it in the regular season, let alone in the playoffs!"
Sure enough, the Grizzlies requested a timeout, and the Black and White Shuangxiong and Xie Kai went into battle again.At this time, the second quarter of the game was only 3 minutes and 2 seconds.
The score at this time was 34:27, and the Grizzlies still led by 7 points.
Arenas slowly dribbled over, facing Xiao Mo, trying to find Xie Kai.
The blood cloth stuck to Xie Kai like a dog skin plaster, preventing him from catching the ball.His defensive actions were a bit rough, and he looked quite tough on the verge of the referee's penalty.
"Foul!" The Grizzlies fans in the stands looked at the blood-clothed defense like a fight, thanked Kai with a little distress, and shouted loudly.
The ball was passed to the Black Bear in the low post.
The black bear forced Kenyon Martin, the No. 2000 pick in [-]!
Since Martin left the Nets, he has never returned to the same performance as when he was with Kidd. Now at the age of 35, he can no longer fly to the sky and escape from the ground. Although he is not on the floor, he cannot jump up .His defense is underestimated. If it weren't for injuries, he would not have suffered so much against Duncan in the finals.
The black bear forced Martin, but he didn't take advantage of it too much, and he didn't turn around and shoot the basket!
Reggie Evans took the rebound and handed it to Mo to advance.
Xiao Mo dribbled the ball and gave it to Nick Young.
Nick Young singles Pondexett, extreme maneuvers, super recoil to serve - there it is!
At 34:29, the point difference was reduced to only 5 points!
The Grizzlies fans in the stands began to get nervous. The opponent's second team was too explosive offensively. Whether it was Xiao Mo or Nick Young, they were all capable of scoring 2+ points in a single game.On the other hand, in the second team, it is difficult to find even a player with a stable score of 20 points.
Nick Young was very excited, smiling and high-fiving his teammates. He shot very confidently. This kind of confidence is really an important quality for a scorer.
Arenas slowly dribbled the ball over, Xie Kai turned his back to ask for the ball, and he was fighting hand-to-hand with blood!
The playoffs are really a life-and-death battle, and the physical confrontation has risen to a higher level than the regular season!
"The confrontation between Kane Xie and Eric Bledsoe is really too intense! This game is good-looking, and I really want to see how Kane will respond!" Kevin Harlan said with a smile .
Xie Kai is not afraid of Bledsoe at all. When he was in the NCAA, he was a master of mad dog defense. He didn't have a body at that time, and he relied entirely on his mental strength and fear of death. Now that he has enough physique, he is invincible. Afraid of any challenge!
Xie Kai leaned on Bledsoe and reached for the ball!
Arenas passed the ball, Bledsoe forced to grab the ball, bumped into Xie Kai's face, and blushed immediately!
"Beep beep—" the referee immediately called a foul!
NBA referees still know how to use whistles to stop possible malicious actions. It is a good thing to have fierce confrontation, but if there are some non-basketball actions, as the law enforcers of the game, the referees need to express themselves.
Xie Kai touched his face, it was hot and painful, instead of arguing with the blood cloth, he suddenly smiled.
The fans didn't buy it. The fans in the stands thanked him, especially those female fans, who scolded the blood cloth all over their heads.The poor Xuebu family members were "greeted" all over by those female fans in complete innocence.
This can be regarded as another kind of "being shot while lying down"!
The referee asked Xie Kai if he was okay, Xie Kai smiled and shook his head.
The game continues.
Arenas catches the ball and finds Xie Kai again!
Xie Kai caught the ball with his back, and the blood cloth was like a Buddha, firmly resisting his lower body.
Xie Kai shook his shoulders, tested the blood cloth, observed the opponent's defensive position, and suddenly thrust in!
The blood cloth withstood it with strength!
Xie Kai suddenly used his blood-clothed body to use the opponent's body as the axis, turned around and passed the opponent, and rushed directly to the basket!
It is Martin who defends under the basket!
Xie Kai forced a layup, causing Martin's foul!
"This turn around is really beautiful!" Steve Kerr praised.
"I thought Kane was going to turn around and shoot this ball, but I didn't expect him to handle it like this!" Kevin Harlan was a little surprised.
Amidst the cheers of the fans at the scene, Xie Kai walked to the free throw line.
Thanks for making a free throw!
There were substitutions on the sidelines, Arenas was replaced by Conley, Gay replaced Pondexter; for the Clippers, Paul replaced Mo, and Griffin replaced Reggie Evans.
Xie Kai missed the second free throw and Martin grabbed the rebound.
35:29, the Grizzlies lead by 6 points!
Paul slowly dribbles over and cooperates with Griffin's high pick-and-roll!
Griffin catches the ball and points to Nick Young on the right wing!
Nick Young catches the ball and hits a 3-pointer...
"So decisive?" Kevin Harlan blurted out in surprise.
"Shua—" Nick Young hit a 3-pointer!This ball is very important!
"God, are you too confident?" Kevin Harlan exclaimed.
Nick Young smiled like a 200-pound kid and gave Martin a high-five as he returned to the defense with a smile.
At 35:32, the point difference was reduced to only 3 points!There is only one ball left!
The Grizzlies fans in the stands became a little worried. The outside players on the opponent's bench scored too explosively.
Conley dribbles over and organizes an offense at the top of the arc!
Xie Kai went from the bottom line to the bottom corner, and then with the help of the black bear's off-ball cover, he suddenly went outside the 45-degree 3-point line on the right wing!
Conley points the ball, Xie Kai catches the ball and directly shoots 3 points-this is the style of play of many teams without the ball. Xie Kai is also good at this style of play!
Hit! Answer ball!
The entire FedEx Arena instantly burst into cheers... The ball was too critical. The opponent had just started, and Xie Kai responded to Nick Young with a 3-pointer, severely hitting the opponent's morale.
"Kane is also very confident in this ball. This ball looks good. I thought it would be an inside conversation. It seems that the focus of the conversation is now on the outside!" Kevin Harlan laughed.
"It is difficult for the two teams to kill each other inside. Since the inside cannot be opened, then the breakthrough may be on the outside!" Steve Kerr said.
In the second quarter of the game, the competition between the starters of the two sides was not as one-sided as in the first quarter.Xie Kai was flanked, but the other players of the Grizzlies felt unstable on the outside, so the offensive efficiency on the outside was average.The black bears played low post and inefficient in this game. Whether they played against Jordan or Griffin, they did not play well.
The Clippers have no results on the inside. Caron Butler and Foye are also restricted, relying on Paul's personal ability to maintain the offense.
