Chapter 78 In fact, the defense is not bad
After the timeout, the two teams were locked in a tough battle again.
The defense of both sides is actually pretty good, but the shooting percentage is really terrible. In fact, it's not that the defense of the two teams is really that good, it's just that the offensive talents of both sides are really there, that's all.
Something happened.
After the third quarter, the away Kings led by 3 points at 72:69!
"Jeff, this game is going in the direction you predicted! You can do divination now!" Mike Breen said with a smile.
"Don't put your hat on me, I just said that, how can I do divination? It's just a guess!" Jeff Van Gundy looked very rational.
The game entered the final quarter, and at the beginning it was still a competition between the second lineups.
Eric Gordon dribbled over and passed to Tim Thomas in the high post.
Tim Thomas passed the ball to Ricky Davis, who used the screen to go straight to the basket and hit the target with a horse-riding arrow!
The point difference was reduced to 1 point!
For the Kings, Hawes missed a 3-pointer!
Paul Davis grabbed a rebound, the Clippers counterattacked, and Ricky Davis shot a 3-pointer against Xie Kai - there it was!
Ricky is going crazy!
Ricky Davis looked at Xie Kai with an expression of successful revenge, and spat out trash talk: "Little Chinese boy, if you want to guard against me, just go practice for another five years! Go back to the NCAA!"
The Clippers fans at the scene began to cheer, and screams immediately echoed in the arena. They were so excited about Ricky Davis's operation just now that they almost didn't shout "v".
The Kings immediately requested a timeout. From leading by 3 points to falling behind by 2 points, less than 1 minute had passed.
Chen Guixiang worriedly watched Xie Kai on the away team's bench who was listening to the coach's tactics on the stadium's big screen. She silently prayed for him in her heart, hoping that his confidence would not be affected by the game just now.
At this time, the white guy who had just been fighting with Chen Guixiang turned his head and sneered: "Fat woman, your son was beaten to death by Ricky. Take him back to drink milk!"
Chen Guixiang immediately glared at him: "If you keep talking nonsense, I'll cut out your tongue!"
Once again, the white boy was forced by Chen Guixiang's ferocity and said no more. "Your son will lose anyway!"
Chen Guixiang said silently in her heart: "Akai, please try your best and don't be intimidated by this tenderloin!"
During the timeout, Kings coach Reggie Tois asked Xie Kai: "Kane, can you?"
Of course Xie Kai knew what the coach was asking him. He blushed and replied firmly: "Coach, I can do it!" He knew that he had been beaten by his opponent in a rhythm just now, and he did not engage in physical confrontation, allowing the opponent to hit a small blow.
gao chao.
Return from the timeout and the game continues.
Bobby Jackson dribbled over and organized at the top of the key.
After the Clippers took the lead, their morale was greatly boosted and they even worked extremely hard on defense.
Hawes provided cover for his teammates at the top of the arc, but the quality of his cover cannot be complimented, and Bobby Jackson did not get any good opportunities.
The attack time was getting shorter and shorter. When Bobby Jackson was thinking about forcing a single, he suddenly saw an open space on Xie Kai's side who was moving without the ball.
Without any time to think, he raised his hand and passed the ball.
Maybe throughout his career, Bobby Jackson has not been an excellent organizer. He cannot see the kind of open space that Jason Kidd can see, but after all, he was born in the No. 1 position, and he is not bad at passing the ball normally.
After receiving the ball, there were only 19 seconds left before the attack time ran out.
It was too late to dribble and feint, so he ran directly to Paul Davis inside...
Paul Davis was a little slow, but the bear's paw had already hit Xie Kai's arm.
Xie Kai received a huge impact and fell to the ground. Fortunately, he landed on his back and was not injured, but he still felt burning pain in his back.
"Akai!" Chen Guixiang, who was in the stands, saw the big screen replaying the moment when Xie Kai was fouled over and over again. She was worried to death and had already cursed Paul Davis more than a hundred times.
The ball was naturally a foul, as can be seen from the red palm prints on Xie Kai's arm.
"Kane is really brave. This kind of ball really throws his body in the air, completely exposed in front of the opponent's big man!" Mike Breen sighed.
"As a rookie, it's understandable that you work so hard. It's really not easy for a Chinese perimeter player to gain a foothold in the NBA!" Jeff Van Gundy sighed.
Xie Kai was pulled up from the ground by two teammates, Bobby Jackson and Jason Thompson.
"Are you okay, man?" Bobby Jackson asked.
"It's okay, little case!" Xie Kai stood up and gave his teammates an "I'm fine" smile.
Xie Kai stepped to the free throw line.
Seeing her son shooting free throws without incident, Chen Guixiang finally felt relieved.
Xie Kai made two free throws steadily and proved with his actions that he has no problem!
The two sides fought to a tie of 74!
Eric Gordon dribbled over and tried to find Ricky Davis, the hottest player among his teammates in the frontcourt.
But Xie Kai was like an octopus, clinging to Ricky Davis, preventing him from catching the ball easily.
The fans at the scene cheered: "He committed a foul!"
Ricky Davis tried to get away, but failed with all his strength and was still clinging to him.
Thanks to this desperate defense that spared no effort in physical strength, he felt like he was back in the NCAA finals in April.
"That's how I treated CDR back then!" Xie Kai laughed in his heart.
"Mike, Kane's close defense is quite good. You see, he seems to be very aggressive, but his hands are very clean, so the referee cannot judge him for a foul. But in fact, some of his actions are wrong.
On the verge of a foul!" Jeff Van Gundy laughed.
"So, Kane's defense is not as bad as some people say!" Mike Breen laughed.
Jeff Van Gundy nodded.
Ricky Davis wanted to catch the ball. His hands were hot, and he felt that he was throwing the ball now. However, being entangled by the rookie Xie Kai, he felt as if he had fallen into a swamp and was unable to move. He felt that his anger level had been reduced.
When I reached the top, I gave him a hard push!
Xie Kai was pushed by Ricky Davis, but he wasn't acting. Indeed, with his weight, it was hard to think that he would be knocked down after being pushed so hard by the opponent.
"Beep beep——" the referee's whistle sounded, offensive foul!
"Referee, he dived!" Ricky Davis complained to the referee.
But the referee is not blind. You almost pushed the opponent out of bounds. How is this a flop?
Chapter completed!
