The Kings did not take a timeout and the game continued!

For the Kings, Salmons was replaced by Garcia who was hot in the first half.

"Kenny is very confident in his team's second lineup!" Mike Fratello said playfully.

"In other words, the game was only 1 point behind before the timeout was reached! The timeout was reserved for the critical moment in the final quarter. Maybe that was Kenny's plan!" Reggie Miller said.

Bobby Jackson dribbled the ball over and passed it to Xie Kai, who cut out from the left wing.

He got rid of Sheldon Williams who was holding the ball in the high post, and then cut to the basket without the ball.

Sheldon Williams passed the cut to Xie Kai, who made a 2-pass pass and threw it directly to the right side of the basket!

Jason Thompson jumped high, grabbed the basketball with both hands in the air, and dunked the ball into the basket!

77:76, the Kings also overtook!

This goal greatly boosted morale. After a few minutes of silence, the Kings fans at the scene once again vented their excitement.

"Kane played really unselfishly!" Mike Fratello said.

"It stands to reason that he does not have a specific tactical position in the team, so in this case, it is more a test of how a player, as part of the tactics, can bring out the team's offensive threat! Kane is a good team player

, he made the right choice for this ball!" Reggie Miller also praised.

"You didn't choose to challenge me, Kane!" Westbrook said to Xie Kai near the baseline.

Xie Kai tilted his head and said, "I'm not the boss of the team anymore, so where are there so many opportunities for duel!"

Looking back, Westbrook held the ball and used the pick-and-roll to force his way to the basket. He almost walked forward against Xie Kai, causing Xie Kai's blocking foul!

Xie Kai was pushed down by Westbrook, who pulled him up from the ground!

"You knocked me down, or I committed a foul, alas -" Xie Kai smiled helplessly.

The relationship between the two is very good, so even if the confrontation is fierce, it will not affect their friendship.

Since the foul count had expired, Westbrook stepped to the free throw line.

Westbrook made two free throws and the Thunder took the lead again!

For the Kings, Moore has no inside hook!

Durant grabbed the rebound and pushed forward himself. He rushed to the basket and was flanked. He separated and was intercepted by Xie Kai!

Xie made a pass to find a teammate in the frontcourt, but was intercepted by Westbrook!

But Westbrook came over and pushed away with his elbow, and was caught by the referee - an offensive foul!

"In the past minute, the ball has been changing back and forth, and the game has been a bit chaotic!" Mike Fratello said.

"Young players are sometimes like this. They are young and energetic and don't know how to control the rhythm. If they play so fast, their turnover rate goes up!" Reggie Miller said.

In the remaining time of the 3rd quarter, neither team scored, so in the end the Kings trailed the Thunder by 1 point, 77:78, ending the quarter.

"Reggie, it seems that it will be difficult to determine the winner of this game until the last moment!" Mike Fratello said with a smile.

"There is not much difference in strength between the two teams, and the game was very close. It seems that there is a tendency to fight to the end!" Reggie Miller replied helplessly.

The game was very intense, and the fans at the scene were very engaged.

The final quarter of the game begins.

Bobby Jackson dribbled the ball over and passed it to Xie Kai at the top of the arc.

Xie opened the right wing of Garcia and then provided a screen for the opponent.

Garcia breaks through and points to Moore on the left.

Moore singled out Jeff Green and raised his hook -- but no!

There was a scuffle under the basket, and the ball was eventually grabbed by Xie Kai.

Thank you for shooting Bobby Jackson in the arc, and then play again after calming down.

"Kane was not impulsive, the ball really shouldn't have been too hasty!" Mike Fratello said.

The Kings continued to attack. Garcia singled out Durant and missed the chance in the bottom corner.

Facing Earl Watson, Xie Kai cross-stepped and rushed to the baseline. After being blocked, he turned his back, then walked to the line with the ball, feinted a shot, deceived the opponent, and caused a foul!

"The 24 seconds are almost here. Kane played the ball very smartly!" Mike Fratello said.

"There is a reason why Earl was fooled. There is indeed a big mismatch when Kane plays him. Oklahoma's second lineup is too short for the No. 2 position. Kane's height is not very tall. If he encounters T-

Mac's jump shot, Earl probably couldn't even see the ball!" Reggie Miller said.

Xie Kai went to the free throw line and made two steady free throws. The Kings took the lead again at 79:78!

The Thunder team attacked, Westbrook made a strong layup, and was blocked by Moore!

The Kings counterattacked, and Garcia hit the basket all at once, but was blocked by Durant!

The offensive pace of both sides was extremely fast, and the game was extremely exciting.

After a few more rounds, neither side scored any points!

At 8 minutes and 59 seconds, since neither side requested a timeout, the game entered the official timeout.

Return from the timeout and the game continues.

Bobby Jackson dribbled over and used the pick-and-roll to split Moore.

Moore passed in and scored on Jason Thompson. The latter turned around and went to the basket and was flanked, and the shot was wide open in the bottom corner.

Xie received the ball and passed it to Garcia on the other side.

Garcia finally got an open opportunity. He made all 3 of his 3-pointers in the first half. He felt hot. After catching the ball, he shot again excitedly - and more!

The Kings lead by 4 points at 82:78!

"Francisco felt really hot today!" Mike Fratello said in disbelief.

Durant missed a shot from the Thunder!

The Kings counterattacked, and Xie made a layup during the counterattack, causing Watson to foul and continue to the free throw line!

Xie Kai made two free throws and the Kings led by 6 points at 84:78!

The Thunder immediately paused!

The Kings fans at the scene cheered thunderously. The team had not played so strongly for a long time. However, they also knew that they would not have the chance to face many weak opponents like today, so their happiness was short-lived.

After the timeout, the Thunder's Westbrook and other starters are back. And they rely on the main firepower to narrow the point difference to only 2 points!

This time it was the Kings' turn to request a timeout. After the timeout came back, Xie Kai waited for the players from the second team to be replaced.

In this game, the two teams fought fiercely until the last moment of the game.

There was no winner between the two teams during regular time, and the game eventually entered overtime.

In overtime, the Kings relied on the outstanding performance of veteran Bobby Jackson to finally win the game.

The Kings finally defeated the Thunder after overtime, ending their embarrassing 8-game losing streak, and finally prevented the terrible 9-game losing streak from coming.

Xie Kai played 18 minutes in this game and made 5 of 9 shots, including 1 of 2 3-pointers and 8 free throws. He scored 19 points, 6 rebounds, 7 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks. In addition, he made 2 turnovers.
