Chapter 538
Yu Jia laughed and said: "The head coach of the Kings is really talented. Cousins was about to make a move, but he stopped him!"
Yang Yi laughed: "It's unfair to test God! He was going to get angry! Hahahaha..."
"Yang Yi, do you think Cousins is suitable to become the core of the Kings?" Yu Jia asked.
Yang Yi shook his head: "Kaoshen is like a child. He has no leadership qualities and no ability! If you ask me about their team, Thomas is more of a leader than Cousins."
Return from the timeout and the game continues.
Conley dribbled over and passed it to the White Bear in the high post.
Xie Kai and Bai Xiong exchanged hands, and Bai Xiong obeyed.
Xie Kai held the ball and walked towards the basket, reaching a deep position to attract the attention of Kaoshen before passing the ball to the White Bear under the basket.
The White Bear got the ball and easily hit the board under the basket!
The two sides drew! Thanks for the first assist of the game!
"Beautiful! Yu Jia, look at the replay, Xie Kai deliberately passed the ball to this position just to wait for Cousins to come up to help defend! This ability to read the game is really outstanding!" Yang Yi praised.
"Salmons didn't come over to attack this ball!" Yu Jia said.
Yang Yi said confidently: "Of course, Salmons is not stupid. He doesn't dare to let the old prince go like this! The old prince has a 3-pointer, and the opening is very accurate. It can't be said that he just made it."
If that one misses, just let it go! With Xie's wide passing vision, once he is flanked, it is impossible not to miss Prince who is wide open in the corner."
Cousins suddenly shot a 3-pointer from the top of the arc - without touching the bottom line...
"What are you betting on in the God Test? Don't you want to play anymore?" Yang Yi laughed in disbelief.
The fans of the home team in the stands also booed. This test was really arbitrary, and the word "stable" could not be seen on him.
As the core of the team, Kao Shen and Xie Kai really make decisions.
Alas...it's hard to describe in words...
Fortunately, the Grizzlies don't feel good here either, and the White Bears' high-post jump shots are just as good!
In the first quarter of the game, with 5 minutes and 55 seconds left, Xie Kai saw a dead ball on the sidelines and was replaced by teammate Tony Allen.
"Xie Kai comes off the field and prepares to lead the second lineup!" Yu Jia explained.
Yang Yi nodded: "Coach Dave Joerger did a good job. He did not deliberately disrupt the rotation of personnel because of Randolph's absence."
When Tony Allen comes up, he can do nothing but defend. He was a player on the first team of the league's best defensive team last season. With his height of 193cm, he can defend three positions and is very difficult to deal with.
The score between the two sides has never been open, and the Grizzlies' offensive efficiency is not very good. The two teams seem to have the confidence to break the basket.
The Kings dare to take action, but the Grizzlies' defense is really strong. Under this kind of physical confrontation, it is difficult to guarantee the shooting percentage.
The game gradually turned into a competition between the rotating players of both sides.
For the Grizzlies, since Speights became the starter, Ed Davis, who was traded from the Raptors, entered the rotation and partnered with Arthur in the second lineup.
Xie Kai is still the last player in the team's second lineup.
The Kings' second lineup also plays a smaller lineup. The five players are Thomas Robinson, James Johnson, Tyreke Evans, Jim Fredette and Aaron Brooks.
At this time, the score on the court was 18:17. The Kings, playing at home, were leading by 1 point. There were 2 minutes and 22 seconds left before the end of the first quarter.
The Grizzlies have the offensive ball.
The general dribbled the ball over slowly.
The one who failed in defense was not Xiaobu or Fredette, but Evans who squeezed him out back then!
Yu Jia laughed and said: "Let Evans come to counter Xie Kai. Is this his own recommendation or is it an arrangement by the coaching staff?"
Yang Yi explained: "I think it is possible. Let Xiaobu and Fredette guard Xie Kai. With these two, the defense is almost like paper. If you guard against the opponent's core players, you will give away points. Even if Evans is not
Teacher Tony's level of outside defensive gate, after all, he has a body, and his defense is much better than those two."
"Don't try to score from me!" Evans said viciously when the defense broke away.
"I want to score, can you stop me?" Xie Kai immediately responded. He was really speechless. He has been gone for so long. This guy is not over yet. If you don't, it's me who will start the starting lineup.
The pot?
Xie Kai knew that for such a person, he would have to be beaten until he lay on the ground unable to get up. To be kind to the enemy was to be cruel to oneself. He now felt this feeling.
The general and Xie Kai have a very close relationship, and you can tell what he is thinking just by looking at each other.
Seeing the look in Xie Kai's eyes, the general knew that he wanted to play and immediately looked for an opportunity to pass the ball to him.
Evans was very tight, not letting Xie Kai catch the ball easily. He said he didn't take Xie Kai seriously, but he was not stupid.
Was the king awarded to him by the Alliance?
The fans in the stands naturally didn't think it was a big deal, and everyone was worried that they wouldn't be able to see the duel between these two brothers. Who knew that the classic duel between these two men would actually take place!
Xie Kai still received the ball, and he faced Evans outside the 45-degree three-point line on the right side. His teammates wisely opened up the space, allowing him to solo his old enemy one-on-one.
The K fans in the stands were cheering and cheering for their idol. In their opinion, Evans challenged Xie Kai to a duel, and they must give this annoying guy some color, otherwise he would be like a fly and annoying to death.
Xie held the ball in one hand with his left hand and looked at Evans.
Evans kept his focus low and serious.
Everything on the field seemed to have stopped, and only time passed by slowly.
Xie Kai started... He made a breakthrough with his ordinary left hand, without even lowering his center of gravity. He looked a bit lazy and had no trace of his signature lightning breakthrough.
But Evans just didn't dare to take out the basketball that was so close to Xie Kai's hand. Experience and sixth sense told him that once he did this, he would be beaten to the bone by the opponent.
Xie Kai is indeed setting a trap for Evans. This is a bait. If you don't take the bait, well, I'll take the bait directly!
Xie Kai adjusted his center of gravity, and suddenly his left hand crossed over to his right hand. Almost at the same time, he lowered his center of gravity and broke through quickly.
Evans still knew Xie Kai and some of his offensive routines, so he reacted and quickly moved sideways to follow.
However, there was still a speed gap between the two. Xie Kai did not completely throw away the opponent this time, but he gained the position.
Evans is not afraid to seize the position. He is very confident in his confrontation. He wants to use physical confrontation to make the opponent lose his rhythm.
Unexpectedly, during the physical contact, Evans suddenly discovered that Xie Kai's confrontation had escalated to the point where he could no longer take advantage!
