Xie Kai performed well in the first quarter, making 3 of 5 shots, 1 of 2 3-pointers, 3 of 4 free throws, scoring 10 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal.

At the beginning of the second quarter, both sides still had the same lineup as in the first quarter.

The general dribbled the ball over and gave it to Xie Kai.

Xie opened the ball to Speights in the low post, who hit Epe Udoh and was flanked by Ellington on the outside.

Ellington thanked him hand in hand.

Open the crotch and change it continuously, then divide it at the top of the arc.

The general shot a 3-pointer - the iron was struck!

Arthur grabbed an offensive rebound and the ball returned to Xie Kai's hands.

With the help of Arthur's screen, Xie Kai walked to the line with the ball. He made a fake move of pulling the ball from his crotch, suddenly accelerated twice, got rid of Doron Lamb, forced his way to the basket, and made a gliding one-handed basket!

At 26:17, the score difference came to 9 points!

The cheers in the stands became louder and louder, and there were screams.

The Bucks attacked, Ilyasova hit a high jump shot and returned the favor!

The general dribbled over, cooperated with Speights, broke through with the ball, and hit a mid-range jumper, Answer ball!

28:19!

Gooden caused a foul on Arthur's thug under the basket and went to the free throw line!

Gooden made 1 of 2 free throws, narrowing the point difference to 8 points!

The general dribbled the ball over and passed it to the cutter.

Xie made an air cut to near the free throw line, and with a change of direction, the opponent's defense shrank instantly!

Thanks to Ellington for taking the bottom corner!

Ellington shoots a 3-pointer - there it is!

31:19, the point difference reached double digits! Thanks for the third assist of this game!

There was a timeout on the sidelines, and Bucks coach Skiles requested a timeout!

The Grizzlies' momentum was like a rainbow, and the cheers at the scene felt like they were tearing off the roof.

Kenny Smith laughed: "3 points is 1 point, 2 points more!"

Reggie Miller interrupted: "You can't calculate it like that, two free throws are 2 points!"

"But what if we miss both free throws?"

"The 3-point shot may also be missed, and it's still 0!"

After the timeout, the Bucks gradually replaced their main players, while the Grizzlies were still the second team.

In the next game, the two teams started to attack, but the Bucks were unable to narrow the point difference. The Grizzlies' problem was on the defensive end. Speights was too slow. The opponent played one inside and four outside, and the offensive end was very fast.

And Larry Sanders is also an extremely fast moving insider.

But the Bucks couldn't guard against the offense of the Grizzlies' second lineup. No one in their lineup could match up, even the general, Jennings, couldn't guard against it.

By the time Xie Kai came off the court, the Grizzlies' score advantage had reached 14 points.

The game entered the period when the two Bears were grinding their positions. From a fast attack in the full court to a slow grind in the half, Grizzlies fans experienced a feast of ice and fire. Who would have thought that the two lineups of this team would have such surprising styles?

It will be so big.

Based on this, Reggie Miller lamented: "Memphis' current strength is based on the defensive end, which makes their lower limit extremely high. The upper limit is definitely not low. It is difficult for any team in the league to kill Kane at the same time.

Xie and Zach Randolph. Moreover, their current lineup is very adaptable, they can be big or small, slow or fast."

"Do you think they are the favorites to win the championship?" Kenny Smith asked.

Reggie Miller explained: "I dare not say that they are the favorites to win the championship, but they should be included in the discussion of the championship team."

The defense of the Black and White Bears + Tony Allen + the old prince is really outstanding, and can drag most teams into the quagmire, unable to extricate themselves. The Bucks are naturally no exception.

Conley is very good at organizing offense, sorting out offense and defending on the outside. He is neither extreme nor passive, and is very stable. Even if the team is off the court to rest, it can still ensure the normal operation of the team.

This game basically lost all suspense at halftime, because the score was already close to 20 points.

Unless Jennings repeats the miracle of 55 points in a single game during his rookie season, this game will definitely be settled.

Jennings's eyes were full of reflections of himself in his rookie season, but he knew he couldn't go back. He knew it would be difficult for him to score 55 points again.

There was no suspense in the second half of the game. Jennings' final performance was 9 of 26 shots.

Xie Kai scored 33 points, 7 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 steals and 1 block. He made only 1 turnover in the game and was the biggest contributor to the team's victory.

After winning this game, the Grizzlies ushered in 3 consecutive victories. From 3 consecutive losses to 3 consecutive wins, Xie Kai used his outstanding performance to demonstrate his value and why he can be ranked on the MVP list.

No. 2.

The Grizzlies' record has reached 17 wins and 6 losses, surpassing the Spurs and ranking second in the Western Conference, only 0.5 games behind the first-ranked Thunder.

On December 22, the NBA officially announced the best players in the East and West last week. James and Xie Kai, the two top players in the MVP rankings, won the Best Players in the East and West respectively.

This is already the eighth time in Xie Kai's NBA career that he has won Player of the Week. Now fans and media alike have become somewhat accustomed to and numb to him receiving this honor.

On the evening of the 22nd, the Grizzlies continued to play at home against the Dallas Mavericks.

The Mavericks are missing King Notre Dame and Lao Yu, while the Grizzlies are all healthy.

There was no suspense in the game. The Grizzlies suppressed their opponents throughout the game and finally defeated their opponents by 10 points, ushering in their 4th consecutive victory.

After this game, major sports media will warm up for the Christmas war.

In the United States, Christmas is just like the Spring Festival in China. It is the most popular holiday and one of the most beautiful holidays.

The Christmas Game is every year on Christmas Day in the United States. The NBA only arranges a few heavyweight games, and these games are called the Christmas Game.

Since the 1940s, NBA officials have had a tradition of launching heavyweight games on Christmas Eve.

This business idea seemed quite advanced at the time. After television broadcasts became popular, watching the Christmas game on Christmas Eve became a habit of many American basketball fans. The NBA is a business league, and it can also be a public platform for popular stars to compete for popularity and market.

In the arena, everything is designed to attract attention.

Naturally, Xie Kai's Grizzlies team will also participate in this year's Christmas game, and their opponent is the Houston Rockets.

The reason why the league has arranged this way seems not difficult to guess. Xie Kai’s Grizzlies and Jeremy Lin’s Rockets are the two NBA teams that Chinese basketball fans are most concerned about. Because of Yao Ming’s relationship, the Rockets have the first impression and have a vast Asian territory.

Fan base. Since Xie Kai joined, the Grizzlies' popularity in Asia has risen as fast as the Rockets.

There are still several days until the Christmas War, but the alliance has already begun to build momentum.

Xie Kai VS Harden, Xie Kai VS Jeremy Lin, I am a little excited just thinking about it.
