Chapter 370 Exploding
Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle couldn't rub the sand in his eyes. When he saw that the momentum of the game was not right, he called a timeout to interrupt the opponent's offensive rhythm.
The Grizzlies were very excited, and Xie Kai and Arthur even bumped their chests.In their view, the Mavericks are very old, and their athletic ability cannot be compared with the Thunder in the last round.
Pause back, the game continues.
On the Mavericks side, they still landed slowly, and through cooperation, Marion got a chance here, hit a mid-range hit, and the two sides drew!
On the Grizzlies side, Conley used a cover to hit a mid-range hit and returned the favor!
Looking back at the Mavericks, Nuo Tianwang's breakthrough was blocked by the White Bear!
The boxing champion grabbed an offensive rebound and fouled.
The offense of the Mavericks was not going well, not only the players were a little upset, but the fans in the stands were also quite disturbed.They know that the Grizzlies' defense is very good, but they will not be satisfied after seeing the home team repeatedly deflated.
The Grizzlies continued to attack, Conley dribbled over, and here Stevenson was biting Xie Kai like a mad dog on the off-ball end, almost sticking to the opponent.He made a lot of moves, but he already had a foul on his back, and it was the Mavericks' home court, and the referee was embarrassed to call it again.
As long as he doesn't go too far, the referee won't blow.
"This Stevenson made too many fouls in this defensive move, why didn't the referee call it?" Yu Jia was a little dissatisfied.
"People of the yellow race are in the NBA. It's normal not to have a whistle. In the past, when Yao Ming was already the number one center in the league, he didn't get a superstar whistle. Xie Kai hasn't reached Yao Ming's height, it's normal."
Stevenson's fight also aroused Xie Kai's bloodiness. Seeing that he couldn't find a chance to catch the ball, he ran directly to Conley's side and handed him a hand.
The ball finally reached Xie Kai's hands.
The white bear came up to cover, and Xie Kai walked in with the ball.
Stevenson quickly bypassed the cover and continued to chase and defend Xie Kai.
Xie drove in, suddenly slowed down, took off, and shot.
Stevenson, who was chasing behind, couldn't brake in time, and came to a rear end—boom——
"Beep beep—" the referee's whistle sounded—foul!
This ball must be a foul, and the referee just doesn't want to see Xie Kai anymore. If this kind of ball is not blown, the Grizzlies will definitely quit.
Stevenson looked aggrieved and explained to the referee that he had not fouled. How could the referee defend him at this time.
Stevenson had committed two fouls and could only be substituted in a huff.He was replaced by "Jets" Jason Terry.
"Xie Kai played the ball very smartly! He cleverly used the time difference to trick Stevenson and beat this fierce defender. Who will the Mavericks use to defend Xie Kai next? It's Marion, Or Terry who just came up?" Yu Jia explained.
"Terry is not good at defense. He is also in his 30s. How can he run with Xie Kai for a long time like Stevenson. I guess Carlisle will let Marion defend Xie Kai. Marion is not young, but He has height and wingspan! He can interfere with Xie Kai's shooting and passing." Director Zhang explained.
Xie Kai walked to the free throw line, he made two free throws steadily, and the Grizzlies led 10:6!
On the offensive end of the Mavericks, Jason Kidd was airdropped...
"Kidd's 3-point shot is a bit outrageous!" Yu Jia said.
"Kidd is not good at this. For so many years in his career, he has never been able to make a 3-pointer. He is still more suitable for connecting teammates!" Director Zhang added.
The Mavericks fans in the stands can only sigh. Kidd is 38 years old. Is it possible to expect him to suddenly become a shooter-level point guard like Nash at the end of his career?
—unrealistic, isn't it?
Conley dribbles over and looks for someone downfield.
The one defending Xie Kai was replaced by Marion, who was indeed guessed by Director Zhang.
"Director Zhang, you are really good at predicting things like a god!" Yu Jia complimented.
Director Zhang also seemed very happy: "I'm not that amazing, I just analyzed the lineups of the two teams."
Like Nuo Tianwang, Marion is also 33 years old.The "hacker" back then was Megatron across the United States!But time is not forgiving. A short No. 4 like him can indeed defend the opponent's inside line with his explosive physical fitness and super long wingspan when he was young.But now that his physical fitness has declined, his lack of height and shape has made it difficult for him to dislocate the opponent's inside line.
Marion is not like Stevenson, who is completely candy-sticking Xie Kai. His speed can no longer keep up with Xie Kai, so he mainly uses follow-up and does not take risks to defend against the ball.
We know that defending against receiving the ball is actually quite risky. Once the opponent receives the ball, it is possible to pass you directly.
Xie Kai got the ball easily, facing Marion, who had put him almost a step away, he directly made a 3-pointer-hit the iron!
The boxing champion accepted the backcourt rebound and handed it to Kidd to advance.
"Marion is so defensive, how courageous he is!" Yu Jia said in surprise.
Director Zhang smiled and said, "Marion can't help it either. If he sticks to the defense, he can pass him by speeding up."
Terry's emergency stop jumper also hits the iron!Xie Kai grabbed a backcourt rebound.
The Grizzlies attacked, the Black Bears chipped in low and then divided the White Bears, and the White Bears transferred Conley from the outside.
Xie Kai cut out without the ball, and Conley quickly made the ball.
Xie Kai made a 3-pointer directly after receiving the ball...
"Xie Kai is very confident in shooting 3-pointers!" Yu Jia exclaimed.
"Shua—"Three-point needle piercing!
The point difference was stretched to 7 points!
The Mavericks didn't take a timeout and the game continued!
The fans of the home team in the stands seemed a little manic. The home team swept the defending champions in the semi-finals. How could it be so difficult to beat the 8th team?
Nuo Tianwang made a foul after hitting the white bear, and the Mavericks finally had a chance to score!
Nuo Tianwang made two free throws, and the point difference was reduced to 5 points!
Conley dribbles over and finds someone at the top of the key.
Xie Kai used the off-ball screen to get out from the baseline!
Conley points the ball, Xie Kai catches the ball, extreme feint!
Marion was swayed, Xie Kai took a step sideways, and made a 3-pointer!
"Thank you for the feint, and shoot another 3 points—it's there!" Yu Jia from the CCTV studio explained enthusiastically.
"Yes, yes!" Zhang Weiping was also very excited, "Don't tell me, it's really amazing, I just voted, and I got in, hehe!"
The point difference came to 8 points!The Mavericks pause again!
The scene seemed a little quiet, and even the mascot of the Mavericks was a little lackluster.
Xie Kai excitedly bumped his chest against Arthur, and the Grizzlies bench was bustling with excitement, as if they had already won the game.
Xie Kai's 3-pointers were not completely missed in the first two rounds, but his 3-pointers in this game are very good, and he is currently 3 of 2.He punished Marion with a precise 3-pointer for his anti-rush strategy, which made the Mavericks feel uncomfortable.
The Mavericks have adopted a one-on-one defense strategy against Xie Kai from the very beginning of the game, and there are very few help defenses, unless he breaks into a deep position under the basket.In this case, of course he judged the situation and launched more personal offenses to punish the opponent's defensive strategy.
