Chapter 438: A new record for scoring in a single quarter
The score difference is back to 11 points again!
For the Mavericks, Marion has no mid-range!
Xie Kai grabbed a backcourt rebound, pushed forward, faced Terry's defense, and started directly, almost pushing his opponent and crushing him into the frame!
The referee didn't give the Mavericks a lot of face by not giving a defensive foul, and it wasn't because you were too far behind.
The Grizzlies lead to 13 points!
Mavericks coach Carlisle's face turned green on the sidelines. The opponent was really beating a dog in the water! But I'm not a dog in the water, why the hell are you beating me?
Late in the first quarter, in order to limit the spread, the Mavericks had to use a double team. They didn't like to do this. Even in last season's Western Conference Finals, when they were forced to do so, they asked Barea to try it instead of using a double team.
.
Xie Kai's quick ball play and Carlisle knew that teams with young and fast feet could rely on rotation to make up for the problem of less defense and more defense. But these old guys, whose average age is over 34, are already weak in their legs and feet. Where can they find it?
Focus on quickly rotating to fill positions.
The Grizzlies completely controlled the situation in the first quarter. Xie Kai played explosively and almost never missed a goal. He made 9 of 10 shots in a single quarter, including 2 of 3 3-pointers and 3 free throws. He scored 23 points and 3 points.
2 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal, and not a single turnover. His performance was almost perfect.
23 points was a new high in Xie Kai's NBA regular season career (the previous high was 20 points). Under his leadership, the Grizzlies led the Mavericks by 16 points, 35:19, in the first quarter.
At the beginning of the second quarter, the two sides entered into a contest between the second lineup.
The Mavericks' second lineup played very well, and A-Lian, Terry, Beaubois and others all played well. On the other hand, the Grizzlies' second lineup began to suffer from constipation again, and had no confidence in the offense and frequently struck iron.
.
The 16-point difference suddenly reached 10 points, and the Grizzlies had no choice but to call a timeout.
"Memphis' second lineup really has no offensive power!" Kenny Smith lamented.
O'Neal spread his hands and expressed helplessness: "If you let Tony lead the offense, this kind of offensive performance will become normal!"
Back from the pause, Xie Kai, Conley and my sister-in-law are all back.
"Oh, the China Derby has begun!" Kenny Smith's eyes lit up and he said with a smile.
Ah Lian was still on the court at this time, and his performance after coming on was very good.
Conley slowly dribbled over and organized the attack at the top of the key.
At this time, the defense was broken by the 188cm tall Boubois.
Despite the request, Beaubois stepped forward to defend.
Conley lobbed the ball over, Xie Kai caught it, leaned on Boubois with his hip, walked in with the ball, faced the help of the Arab League defense, and gave the ball to the sister-in-law on the other side.
The little sister-in-law shoots into the frame!
Thanks for the 3rd assist of this game! The score difference came to 12 points!
"Kane passed the ball beautifully! He didn't attack it himself! I really want to see what happens when he hits his compatriot Yi!"
O'Neal said: "I really like Kane's playing style. He does a good job between attacking himself and distributing the ball!"
"Is it better than your partner for three consecutive championships?" Kenny Smith asked meaningfully.
O'Neal is not stupid, how could he be tricked by Kenny Smith: "Kenny, you are creating conflicts again. Kobe and I have won 3 championships!"
Kenny Smith also gave up when he was friendly. He didn't want to be pointed at and scolded by Kobe the next time he met him.
The Arab League missed a jump shot!
Xie Kai collected the rebound, came over with the ball, and broke into the basket to cause a foul!
Xie Kai takes two free throws!
There was a timeout on the sidelines, called by the Mavericks.
The Grizzlies fans in the stands were extremely excited. Just now, the team's second lineup was beaten by the opponent. Fortunately, God K came back to stabilize the situation.
The female fan who had previously said she wanted to give birth to a child for Xie Kai wore a V-neck dress today, revealing her "Mariana Trench". Photographed by a high-resolution camera, the hormones of other male fans watching the game directly spiked.
After returning from the timeout, the main force of the Mavericks has basically returned. King Nuo also came on and Ah Lian came off.
The short-lived "Chinese Derby" has also come to an end.
Xie Kai made two free throws, raising his score to 25 points.
The point difference was stretched to 14 points.
After King Nuo took the field, he was injured in the first round. He collided with Speights and was limping when he walked.
Coach Carlisle immediately replaced Nowitzki, and the Arab League returned.
"It's so easy to get up and down, he probably finds it incredible!" Kenny Smith laughed.
The game continues.
Kidd dribbled over, and Yi Jianlian came up to pick and roll.
After an emergency stop, the ball was passed to Marion on the right wing with the help of a screen.
Marion points to Haywood inside, who hits the ball with a hook!
The score difference is back to 12 points!
In fact, Xie Kai really likes Haywood as a center. When he was in junior high school, he watched Jordan play with the Wizards in his later years, and he liked this center who has solid defensive skills, wears a headband, and has a steady playing style. But he is different from the younger and more mature center.
Compared with boxing champions with better physical fitness, he does seem a bit mediocre.
The Grizzlies were attacking, Xie Kai was flanked, and the ball was given to the sister-in-law in the low post. Ah Lian committed a foul!
"Look now, Yi was the No. 6 pick in the first round in 2007, and Kane and Tse were the No. 28 pick in the first round in 2008. But the current situation of the two is that Kane is much better.
"Why do you think Yi has been unable to play despite being so favored?" Kenny Smith asked.
O'Neal said: "There are so many rookies every year, but only a small part of them are really good. Yi's physical condition is very good. I have watched him play in the international arena and he plays very well. His problem is that he is not
To adapt to the NBA game, there are a lot of injury problems."
After playing for a while, the Grizzlies slowly widened the point difference.
Timely update on injuries: King Nuo will not return for this game.
Because King Notre Dame was injured, the Mavericks played less aggressively and relied entirely on defense.
At halftime, the Grizzlies led by 16 points, 64:48.
Xie scored 29 points at halftime, one point shy of tying his own NBA regular season halftime scoring record.
The second half of the game was uneventful. Without King Notre Dame, the Mavericks became an old team. They played tepidly and had no offensive power.
After three quarters, the point difference had exceeded 20 points.
Almost the entire quarter of the game was garbage time. In the end, the Grizzlies defeated the Mavericks 122:99 at home, winning the first meeting between the two sides this season.
Xie Kai only played 27 minutes and made 14 of 17 shots, including 4 of 6 3-pointers and 7 free throws. He scored a game-high 39 points, plus 7 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals and 1 block.
