Judging from his coaching experience, this game is likely to reach a decisive moment.

Xie Kai stood on the free throw line, and the Kings fans in the stands saw how comfortable he was.

"No. 22 is so handsome!" A little girl pointed at Xie Kai who took the free throw and said to her mother next to her.

"Yes, he is very handsome!" the mother next to the little girl replied with a smile.

"Mom, is he helping us?" The little girl blinked her big eyes and looked at her mother innocently.

"Yes, he is helping us!" Mom said excitedly.

The Kings made a substitution, Nocioni came off, Jason Thompson came on.

On the Grizzlies side, Iverson withstood the pressure and forced himself inside, causing a defensive foul on the Kings!

Iverson stepped to the free throw line!

Mayo in the frontcourt clings to Xie Kai, almost hanging on the opponent. At this moment, he no longer thinks about this game and the opponent's data comparison. As long as the team can win, the criticism he has received will disappear.

a lot less.

The Kings were looking for an opportunity for Xie Kai, and a high double screen helped him get the ball.

Xie held the ball on the left wing and made a feint after taking a tentative step, which shook Mayo's center of gravity. Then he suddenly started to move past the opponent and cut in diagonally.

The Grizzlies' two inside players were squatting in defense, huddled under the basket, and the weak-side wing did not come to help defend. In this case, Xie Kai got an open opportunity in the mid-range.

"Kane shoots or not?" Groom Albert exclaimed.

Amid the screams of the fans at the scene, Xie Kai made an emergency stop and took a jump shot - keep going!

"Who said it has to be a 3-pointer? A 2-pointer is fine!" Groom Albert said with a smile.

A draw!

Although Xie Kai did not hit his eighth 3-pointer of the game, the mid-range shot was very beautiful and helped the team tie the score, making the home team fans still happy.

Coach Hollins of the Grizzlies finally couldn't sit still and requested a timeout!

His teammates all took the initiative to high-five Xie Kailai. His performance in this game was so exciting that everyone saw it.

After returning from the timeout, the Kings made personnel adjustments. Kevin Martin and Tyreke Evans both came on, but Xie Kai was not substituted.

"Kane was not substituted. It seems that Paul intends to let him play to the end!" said Marv Albert.

"That's right. Kane has earned his own playing time. If he can't stay on the court with such a performance, then I don't know who is more qualified to play!" Mark Jackson said.

After returning from the timeout, the Grizzlies adjusted their lineup, deliberately slowed down, and completely dragged the game into the half-court position. They gave full play to their advantages inside and played steadily. On the defensive end, they attacked Xie after he received the ball.

In a double attack, Mayo was left to stalk him on the off-ball side, while Evans let his long shot go.

The game entered an anxious stage, and it was difficult for both sides to score. Instead, the number of mistakes and fouls increased.

"In overtime, it all depends on who starts first. Whoever starts first will have an absolute advantage!" Mark Jackson said.

Neither team scored in the first 3 minutes, and they kept going "ping ping pong".

Xie Kai jumped high and protected this key rebound!

The Kings attacked, Xie Kai received Evans' pass, forced a attack on the frame, and caused a foul on Xiao Jia's sister-in-law!

"Kane is about to end the game!" Mark Jackson said with a smile.

"If we make two free throws, we will lead by 5 points. The game only lasts for more than one minute. With the state of Memphis in this game, there is not much hope of getting back!" said Marv Albert.

Xie Kai stepped to the free throw line!

The scene was completely silent. The Kings' home fans suppressed their excitement and tried their best to create a quiet free throw environment for Xie Kai!
