Xie Kai scored 15 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals at halftime.

Intermission.

Kevin Harlan yawned, smiled and said to Chris Webber next to him: "If Toronto wants to win this game, it must have more than one explosive point!"

Weber agreed: "The two starting insiders have to show momentum, and Rudy on the wing must overcome his inner demons. Facing Taishian who is so much older than him, he needs to be aggressive and change the opponent's defense."

The third quarter of the game started quickly.

Conley dribbled the ball over and organized the offense at the top of the arc.

The White Bear came out to cover, and Conley dribbled the ball to the right.

Xie cut out from the right wing and Conley scored the ball.

Xie opened the ball and faced DeRozan.

The cheers started immediately. It was obvious who was more popular in this team.

DeRozan's defense is actually pretty good. Although it's not a big shot, at the No. 2 position, he rarely suffers from physical confrontation.

Xie Kai held the ball to the left, changed his hip and walked to his right hand. He used his speed to seize his position and hit the basket. After attracting Valanciunas' defensive attention, he distributed the ball to the Black Bear from a small angle!

The black bear throws the ball into the frame with one hand!

At 54:43, the Grizzlies took the lead to double digits! Thanks for the 6th assist of the game!

"Beautiful! Kane Xie's breakthrough pass, the timing and technique were just right!" Kevin Harlan praised.

The Raptors attack, DeRozan breaks through Lowry on the outside, Lowry breaks through again, and Gay makes a jump shot!

The Black Bears collected the backcourt rebound domineeringly and handed it to Conley to advance.

Xie Kai came out without the ball, received the ball from the high position of his sister-in-law, and shot a 3-pointer!

The iron was struck, but the Black Bear grabbed the offensive rebound!

The ball was in Xie Kai's hands again, and this time he didn't let the opportunity slip away again, and the 3-pointer went up and down!

57:43, the score difference reached 14 points!

There was a timeout on the sidelines, and it was called by the Raptors.

The scene was filled with joy, and the cheers went up to the sky.

"The suspense of the game seems to be getting smaller and smaller!" Kevin Harlan laughed.

"From the current point of view, this is indeed the case, unless there is an explosion later, but it seems that Rudy has not come out of that mentality." Weber said.

After the timeout, Lowry broke through for a layup and drew a foul!

Lowry made two free throws, helping the team save some face.

But Conley then responded with a mid-range pull-up jumper!

The point difference is still 14 points.

Guy held the ball, faced the old prince, forced a breakthrough, and his layup was blocked!

Xie Kai collected the backcourt rebound and counterattacked with the ball, but was disrupted by the opponent's tactical foul.

In the subsequent games, until Xie Kai went off the court for a break in the middle of the quarter, the Grizzlies still maintained a double-digit lead.

After Tony Allen came up, the Raptors once chased the score to 6 points. However, in the rotation stage, Xie Kai led the Grizzlies' second team to a 10:2 spurt, completely killing the suspense of the game.

.

The final quarter of the game was also uneventful. The Raptors' talent was limited and there was no hope of a comeback.

In the end, the Grizzlies easily defeated the Raptors 108:97 at home, ushering in their third consecutive victory.

Xie Kai performed well in this game. He scored a game-high 29 points, plus 8 rebounds, 10 assists, 3 steals and 1 block.

Rudy Gay was sleepwalking in this game, making only 2 of 12 shots, 2 of 4 free throws, and only scored 6 points and 1 rebound. His performance was very poor.

After the game, Gay refused to be interviewed and left the familiar arena early.

Xie was surrounded by media reporters in the locker room after the game.

Reporter: "Excuse me, you beat Rudy Gay in this game in terms of statistics. Are you very happy?"

Xie Kai smiled and said: "I am very happy, but not because of this, but because we have won three consecutive games."

"Have you contacted Rudy Gay after he was traded?" the reporter asked.

"I'm sorry, this is my private matter, it's not convenient for me to answer!"

"Is it possible for you to reconcile?"

"I don't know, no one can say for sure what will happen in the future..."

Since Xie Kai entered the league, he has encountered various interviews from reporters from time to time. He has long practiced the skills to deal with various interviews. He knows what to say and what not to say. With his current status in the league,

For example, if you say the wrong thing, you are likely to be suppressed.

After the game, there wasn't much discussion about the outcome of this game. We were first in the Western Conference and second to last in the Eastern Conference. The latter was still on the road, so losing was a high probability. There was nothing to say about it.

After defeating the Raptors at home, the Grizzlies ended the month of November with a three-game winning streak. In the 13 games this month, they won 11 of them, with a winning percentage that was the team's highest to start the season.

Best in history.

On December 1, the NBA officially announced the best players in the East and West last week and the best players in the East and West last month.

Carmelo Anthony of the New York Knicks in the East and Xie Kai of the Grizzlies in the West won the Best of the Week; while LeBron James of the Heat in the East and Xie Kai of the Grizzlies in the West won the Best of the Month.

This is the second time Xie Kai has won the title of Player of the Month since entering the NBA. Not only that, he has also won Player of the Month consecutively across seasons, which is even more meaningful.

On December 1st, the Grizzlies faced the Detroit Pistons at home.

Today's Pistons are no longer the same Pistons team they were when they won the championship in 2004. Now they have entered a rebuilding phase, and all of the team's champions have basically been traded away.

This game is the first time Prince has faced his old club after being traded. He will continue to start in this game.

In this game, the Grizzlies defended the opponent to only 78 points, defeated their opponent at home, and ushered in a 4-game winning streak. With this 4-game winning streak, they are still firmly ranked first in the Western Conference.

The next day, the Grizzlies played back-to-back away games against the San Antonio Spurs, currently ranked second in the Western Conference.

This is the first contest between the two teams this season. In the second round of the Western Conference playoffs last season, the Grizzlies were swept by the opponent.

The game was very tense. The two sides alternated the lead 23 times throughout the game, and the maximum lead never exceeded 5 points. The game was very fierce.

The game once reached overtime. At the last moment of overtime, the Spurs relied on Duncan's iconic mid-range rebound to defeat the Grizzlies and end their opponent's 4-game winning streak.

Although the Grizzlies lost this game, they still continue to rank first in the Western Conference with a record of 12 wins and 3 losses.

Xie Kai scored 35 points, 11 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals and 1 block in this game. Unfortunately, he failed to help the team win.
