Yu Jia sighed: "Some people say Xie Kai is not worthy of getting the MVP? Some people say Xie Kai is not as good as Harden? I think those black guys really dare to say anything to criticize him!"

Su Qun smiled and said, "Someone left a message on my Weibo, saying that Xie Kai was holding his thighs, from grizzly bears' thighs of black and white bears to Thunder's now holding Westbrook and Paul George's thighs. Because the black bear Randolph is old, he abandoned this thigh and hugged the young Westbrook and George."

Yu Jia shook his head: "We really don't understand the world of Heizi!"

The game continues after the suspension.

The Thunder are more active on the defensive end, and of course they also paid the price of fouls. Just after returning from the timeout, Paulo Jiao was caught by the referee because of his moves too much in defense.

The Jazz served the ball outside the boundary, and Jiao Zhixi continued to hit the iron with a jump shot!

Duck eggs took the rebound and handed it over to Westbrook to push it.

Westbrook dribbled through half the game and gave Xie Kai to the other side.

Xie Kai's touch is hot now, and the Jazz are attacking him without hesitation.

It is very dangerous to clamp at the top of the arc, because once the ball is thrown, there will be a situation where you hit more or less, and because the distance you rotate is too long, it will not be enough to get in place. After all, the speed of a person running cannot keep up with the speed of the ball transfer.

Xie Kai safely distributed the ball to Westbrook, and Westbrook then divided the weak side pickled peppers.

A chance!

Pao Jiao, who made 0 of 4 shots in 3 points, made a steadily shot - hit!

After hitting the ball, Paulo also shouted. He was indeed too frustrated before and did nothing on the offensive end. He had been traded countless times in the live broadcast.

55:50, the Thunder leads by 5 points!

Su Qun said: "After Paul George made a three-pointer, he punished the Jazz's defensive strategy very well. They also hit Xie Kai in the first half, but other Thunder players were not allowed to leave the outside space, so they were not punished."

The Thunders have indeed taken shape. Their 3-point shooting percentage on the outside is still less than 30%, but even so, they have taken the lead, which shows how high the error tolerance rate of this team is.

Jazz coach Schneider fell into deep thought. He was actually quite hesitant when attacking Xie Kai. Xie Kai was not Durant or Lillard. The former was because he did not play the ball quickly enough and his vision was not wide enough, while the latter was too short and his vision was easily limited.

But Xie Kai didn't attack, but he saw that the former MVP had already scored 30 points and didn't look tired at all.

The Jazz's outside line cannot limit Xie Kai's defensive gate. Hayward's defense is not a strong point, and Exam, who is substitute, cannot defend it.

So at present, at least in this game, the Jazz's side-to-back attack should be a reasonable choice for the Jazz to defeat their opponents.

The Thunder took advantage of Xie Kai's restraint and the offensive end began to recover. Although Westbrook and Pickled Pepper were still in a state that was not as good as the average season, they were much better than the poor in the first half.

The Jazz were passive and could only start to adjust the lineup. Fortunately, Xie Kai went off for 6 minutes in the third quarter and took a break with Paulo.

After Xie drove on, the Jazz breathed a sigh of relief!

But Westbrook's defensive lineup has firmly stabilized its advantages, so that the Jazz can't find a way to break the deadlock.

When it came to the rotation stage, Xie Kai and Paulo led the team up and they began to attack him again.

Robertson and others' touch did not recover, and Xie Kai was hit harder.

At the end of the 3rd quarter, the Thunder led by 6 points.

As soon as the final quarter came, Robertson and Paulo scored 3 points in succession, instantly widening the gap to double digits. Then, Kanter and Gibson from the inside line were linked, and the home team widened the gap.

The Jazz also chased points later, but in the end they lacked talent and could not turn the tables in such adversity.

In the end, the Thunder defeated the Jazz 100:91 at home, ushering in a good start to the series.

Xie Kai finally scored a game-high 40 points, plus 7 rebounds, 7 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks, and only made 1 turnover, and his performance was perfect.

This is Xie Kai's 10th 40+ career in his NBA playoff career, and it is also his first 40+ career in the Thunder.

After the game, Thunder coach Donovan said: "Kane helped us, and we rely on him to win this game. He is an MVP, I respect him very much. He is such an excellent player. Any words of praise cannot be used too much on him!"

Jazz coach Schneider said: "We were kicked in the butt (shake our heads), and Kane made us pay a heavy price! His personal ability is so strong that he instantly made our advantage in the first half disappear."

After winning this game, the outside world predicted that the Thunder would eventually advance 4:1 or sweep. The reason is very simple, that is, they only had 30% of their 3 points in this game, which is far lower than their average season (regular season + playoffs). Moreover, neither Pickled Pepper nor Westbrook did to play as they should, but they still defeated their opponents. It can be seen how high the error tolerance rate of this team is.

The Thunder players were not that happy. They were very dissatisfied with their performance, especially Westbrook and Pauli. They felt that they were defeated by Xie Kai Carry and they were not worthy of the reputation of the giants. Of course, they had no intention of jealousy at all. They were still very grateful to Xie Kai for saving the team so that they would not be "meeting" in the season.

On May 5, the Thunder and Jazz series G2 continued to play in the Ford Center Arena at the Thunder home court.

In this game, the Jazz who lost in the last game did not change the team. Their coach, Coach Schneider and his team did not think that the team lost because of the personnel matching of the starting lineup.

At the beginning of this game, Westbrook and Paoji, who expressed garbage in the last game, showed a strong recovery momentum, scoring continuously, and stopping their opponents.

The Jazz still chose to shoot the ball, but not the ball in advance, but the ball was hit when he held the ball and entered the 3-point line. The advantage of this is that he can barely keep up with the defensive players when passing the ball, and there is no need to completely empty anyone.

But Xie Kai didn't attack much at the beginning. He was always using a tactical point to attract defensive forces. Westbrook and Paulo were in good condition and had a strong desire to attack. Of course, he would not compete with them for the right to take action.

A gentleman has the beauty of adulthood, not to mention that everyone is a brother in the same trench and his goals are the same.

The Jazz were behind at the beginning, but they were also tenacious and were not defeated at once. They still strictly ran tactics and played basketball in their team, which they were best at.
