The referee finally ruled that this was just a common foul. After the result was announced, the Grizzlies fans in the stands immediately booed.

This is so funny, this is at home, and the opponent beat the good looks of our starting lineup, and it’s all over with such an ordinary foul? Then watch the replay of the Hammers video!

"There is no technical foul on this ball!" Kevin Harlan was somewhat surprised.

Steve Kerr laughed and said: "Maybe in the referee's opinion, Amir was not aiming at anyone with this ball!"

"That's the only way to understand it!" Kevin Harlan said.

Xie Kai walked to the free throw line. I don't know if he was hit by Amir Johnson, but he was a little dizzy. This time, his free throw went a little too far, and he almost didn't touch the basket!

The players who were grabbing rebounds didn't expect that the ball went directly out of the baseline...

Oops……

The Raptors have the ball! The Grizzlies lead 9:6.

For the Raptors, Kleiza continued to take shots from mid-range—no more this time!

Looking back, Gay hit a layup, opening the difference between the two sides to 5 points!

Raptors timeout! This is the first timeout of the game.

The fans at the scene cheered, cheering for the Grizzlies' excellent offense.

"Toronto is not high enough inside, so they can only choose to retreat when defending. But in this way, there will be a lot of opportunities for the opponent's outside. This is the first choice for many teams with weak inside defensive capabilities to face the Memphis Grizzlies.

Strategy, but the question is, can Kane and Michael really be released on the outside?" Kevin Harlan asked rhetorically.

"Choose one of two bottles of poison!" Steve Kerr laughed.

Kevin Harlan nodded: "If both ends are not strong, then give up one end and take a gamble."

"So DeMar's 3-pointer on Kane was not entirely a matter of his personal defensive habits." Kevin Harlan laughed.

Steve Kerr shook his head: "I don't think so. Kane is the player with the highest 3-point shooting percentage and number of hits on this team. It would be the most unwise to let him go."

Return from the timeout and the game continues.

Faced with Xie Kai's defense, DeRozan rushed deep inside and passed to Dorsey. The latter had a weak hand and was not sure!

Xie Kai counterattacked with the ball. There was no chance to play more or less in the frontcourt, so he immediately distributed the ball to Conley for a steady attack.

Conley and Xiao Jia's sister-in-law cooperated in the pick-and-roll. Xie Kai moved to the left corner without the ball.

The little sister-in-law holds the ball, starts from the free throw line, raises it high and hits it high, using her height to eat something.

Dorsey couldn't resist, and DeRozan on this side couldn't help but go over to help defend.

The little sister-in-law has a good vision and immediately finds Xie Kai who is open in the left corner. The latter catches the ball and adjusts it slightly before taking a steady shot - Double kill!

The score difference is 8 points!

Raptors head coach Jan Triano on the sidelines shook his head helplessly. This goal was not so much an over-defense, but rather a sign that the team's interior defense was too weak, allowing the opponent to break in easily.

The Grizzlies fans at the scene kept shouting Xie Kai's name, and of course many people shouted "K God". Since he has been with the team longer and longer, the fans have become more and more interested in his nickname.

The more familiar it becomes.

"DeMar still went to help defend. We really can't let Kane go!" Kevin Harlan lamented.

Steve Kerr nodded in agreement.

Fortunately, the Raptors' offense was still online in this game. Here, Amir Johnson hit a mid-range hit, and the point difference returned to 6 points.

Here, the Grizzlies continue to play ball for Xie Kai, who has the hottest touch.

Xie cut out from the left, and this time DeRozan no longer missed the ball. But he caught the ball and made a false shot, and the latter flew directly up.

Xie Kai calmly passed DeRozan and hit a 3-pointer steadily!

"Oh my God, this is Kane Shea's third 3-pointer in the first quarter, right?" Kevin Harlan looked a little surprised.

Steve Kerr nodded and said: "It's the third one. The feel is really coming. Now it's getting harder and harder for Toronto to keep pressing the ball."

Raptors' DeRozan missed a single and missed a fadeaway jumper!

On the Grizzlies side, Xiaojia's wife collected the rebound and handed it to Xie Kai for the conversion.

Xie Kai came over with the ball and faked a 3-pointer at a 45-degree angle on the left, attracting two Raptors defensive players to come over and defend.

Xie Kai shook his little hand, Conley caught the ball under the basket and hit a layup!

The score difference reached 11 points!

The Raptors call timeout again!

"If Toronto doesn't call a timeout, the players will be demoralized!" Kevin Harlan said.

Steve Kerr said: "This is the disadvantage of being nurtured by the opponent's touch. The opponent is even afraid of you when they shoot against you."

After the timeout, power forward Ed Davis, the 13th pick in this year's first round, was replaced, replacing Dorsey, who was unable to protect the rim or rebound.

However, the appearance of Ed Davis did not help the Raptors much on both offense and defense. Xie Kai was still unstoppable, and in the end the Raptors were flanked.

Other Grizzlies players began to step up, so at the end of the first quarter, they led their opponents by 21 points, 40:19.

Just one quarter seemed to kill the suspense of the game. Not to mention the Raptors, even Steve Kerr and Kevin Harlan, who were accustomed to seeing big waves, were a little unexpected.

Since the Grizzlies got together with the Black and White Bears, when have they been so unrestrained on the outside? In everyone’s impression, the Grizzlies with the Black and White Bears play slowly, are constipated offensively, and have excellent defense. This has almost become everyone’s stereotype of them.

.

Xie Kai played the entire first quarter and made 7 of 8 shots, including 4 of 5 3-pointers and 2 of 3 free throws. He scored 20 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal. His performance was very hot.

Hitting 4 3-pointers in a single quarter is a new record for Xie Kai's NBA regular season career, and his 20 points in a single quarter also set a new high for his NBA regular season career (previously 17 points).

"Kane Shay really had a great time playing this game!" Kevin Harlan laughed.

Steve Kerr said: “It’s true that Toronto couldn’t control the intensity later on.”

Fans at FedEx Arena, the home of the Grizzlies, have already shouted "MVP". Although Xie Kai is still far away from this honor, if we look at his performance in the first quarter of this game alone, he is fully worthy of this honor.

Both sides entered the rotation lineup. In the past, the Grizzlies would be chased by their opponents at this stage, but because they were much ahead in the first quarter, the players in the second team played more confidently and performed well both offensively and defensively. Instead of being chased by points, they were able to pull away.

A few points.

When the Grizzlies' main players returned, everyone suddenly discovered that Xie Kai was being flanked!
Chapter completed!
