Xie Kai went to the free throw line and made two steady free throws, narrowing the difference between the two sides to only 7 points!

The Grizzlies attack here, and Carroll misses a 3-pointer from the corner!

Xie Kai grabbed a long rebound, quickly advanced with the ball, and assisted Casspi for a touchdown!

The score difference is only 5 points!

For the Grizzlies, coach Hollins requested a timeout!

The fans in the Sleep Train Arena began to cheer. It felt so good to see the opponent repeatedly being defeated! They now feel that the difference between the new coach Paul Westphal and his predecessor Kenny Knight is that he dares to use people.

Tyreke Evans and Casspi are both rookies this year, but under him, they continue to surprise people!

"I didn't expect that the second lineups of the two teams would fight like this!" Marv Albert was a little unbelievable.

"Sacramento's offense is not so easy to defend now. The problem with Memphis' second lineup is that the defense is actually not very good. There is a clear gap between this and their starting lineup. Once the momentum of the home team rises, the Vietnam War

Yue Yong, so one and the other, has become what it is now!" Mark Jackson explained.

Return from the timeout and the game continues.

For the Grizzlies, Marc Gasol came on and replaced Sam Young, who played for a while.

The game continues.

Iverson dribbled over and passed it to Marc Gasol in the high post.

Xiaojia provided support from the high post and passed the ball to OJ Mayo on the left!

Facing Xie Kai, Mayo used Hunter's cover to attack the inside line and accidentally knocked down Casspi, who was standing still. The referee's whistle sounded - offensive foul!

Mayo instantly jumped up from the ground and tried his best to explain to the referee that he was wronged. However, the bottom line referee insisted that this was an obvious offensive foul!

"Omi, a European player, is so smart in defense. I remember he made Rudy an offensive foul in the first quarter!" Marv Albert said with a smile.

"Well, this is a warning to many young people that defense does not need to be head-on every time. You can also achieve good defensive results by using clever skills!" Mark Jackson said.

The Kings attacked, Xie opened the top of the arc to receive the ball, faced Mayo, and distributed the ball to Casspi on the left.

"You don't dare to attack anymore, do you?" Mayo continued to provoke.

"Brother QJ, are you bored?"

"What did you call me?"

Xie Kai ignored him.

Casspi didn't make a shot here, and Gasol of the Grizzlies grabbed a backcourt rebound!

Iverson slowly dribbled the ball across half court.

"Alan didn't push the ball fast, which is a bit abnormal!" Groom Albert was a little surprised.

"My understanding is that Sacramento's defense is very fast and is already in place. It is difficult to achieve the goal of playing more in the frontcourt by blindly pushing the speed. Also, Memphis currently has two big men, Mark and Steven, on the court.

It’s hard to keep up!” Mark Jackson said.

Iverson dribbled the ball to a position of about 70 degrees on the right wing and passed it to Mayo at the top of the arc!

Unexpectedly, Xie Kai suddenly reached out to steal the ball, and then almost at the same time, he ran towards the frontcourt.

Mayo subconsciously put his arms around Xie Kai's waist!

"Beep beep beep -" the referee's whistle sounded - foul!

"This should be a technical foul, not an ordinary tactical foul, because there is no other defender in the frontcourt!" Mark Jackson said.

Sure enough, the referee gave the instruction of two free throws and one throw.

The home team fans in the stands were gloating and laughing at the visiting team's stupid defense. A few fans started dancing excitedly...

Xie Kai stood on the free throw line and made two free throws. The score difference was only 3 points! Mayo was replaced by teammate Mike Conley because he accumulated fouls too quickly.

The Kings continue to serve from the frontcourt.

Nocioni received the ball and passed it to Udri at the top of the key.

After Udri's pick-and-roll, Hawes bounced out of the way, and the latter broke out of the right wing.

Xie Kai almost didn't stop to catch the ball. Facing Conley, he directly pulled up and shot a 3-pointer - and more!

Thank you for the fourth 3-pointer of the game! The two sides are tied! From being behind by 14 points at most to being tied now, the Kings have played an excellent offensive and defensive performance.

"Oh my god, this is the fourth one!" the groom Albert exclaimed.

The Kings fans in the stands were so excited that their voices almost became hoarse. The home team's first regular season home game made everyone experience such a great feeling. It was so exciting!

"God K!" I don't know who shouted in the crowd. Soon, many fans of the home team started shouting "God K".

Xie Kai heard the shouts of the fans and sighed in his heart. It had been a long time since he heard someone call him K God in this venue.

The Grizzlies timed out again! Coach Hollins really felt like he owed money to Xie. Why have we played several games since the start of the regular season? If you hadn’t exploded before, you would have started beating us to death if you caught us...

…

After returning from the timeout, the Kings overtook the score, but soon, both sides made personnel adjustments, and the Kings' second lineup, which was in the middle of the game, was also replaced.

Xie Kai played 9 minutes in the first half and made 5 of 5 shots, including 4 of 3-pointers and 4 of 4 free throws. He scored 18 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal, and did not make a single turnover. His performance was outstanding.

Almost perfect.

The two sides once again entered the main lineup competition. In the main lineup competition, it is obvious that even if the Kings' morale is higher, the strength of the main lineup is still much stronger than that of the Grizzlies.

The Grizzlies' starting lineup focuses on the inside, so momentum doesn't play such a big role. Zach Randolph is still digging hard in the low post, and no one on the opposite side can restrain him.

The fans of the Kings became very angry when they saw the team's second lineup finally overtaking the score, and when they saw the main lineup giving up their lives on the court. What is this? Isn't this a hindrance? What is this?

Kings coach Paul Westphal has tried to reduce the playing time of Desmond Mason and Sean May as much as possible, allowing Jason Thompson and Spencer Hawes to play in the Twin Towers as much as possible.

The inside gap with the opponent is narrowed, but the inside line is still unable to withstand it.

At halftime, the Kings trailed the Grizzlies by 5 points, 54:59.

Intermission.

"Mark, how long do you think Paul will let Kane play in the second half?" Groom Albert asked.

"I think if Kane is still in the same state as in the first half, even if his state is slightly worse than in the first half, he is very likely to reach the decisive stage of the game. Of course, the premise is that the game can reach the decisive stage!" Mark?

Jackson said with a smile.

"Is Kane's touch in the first half luck?"

"Of course there is luck, but there are traces to follow. Memphis doesn't have enough big men to defend the pick-and-roll, and Mike and Allen on the outside are too short, making it difficult to effectively interfere with Kane's shots. Even OJ
