After the timeout, the two sides changed the starting lineup one after another.
The black and white bears did not perform very well in the first quarter, but at this time the team took a big lead and they played more easily. Coupled with the low morale of the opponent, their state slowly returned.
In the rotation stage of the first half, the Grizzlies relied on the small climax led by Xie Kai to widen the point difference and control the situation of the game.
Owen wanted to rely on his personal ability to forcefully chase points, but the Grizzlies didn't give him this opportunity. They began to flank him and then immediately rotated.
In this game, Irving's shortcoming of not hitting the ball in a pinch in a timely manner, slow shooting and little change was exposed.Before, because of his fancy dribbling and excellent offense with the ball, his style of play attracted fans and attracted a large number of passers-by and fans to become his fans.This game let those people know that their idol is actually not perfect, as a point guard, there is still a long, long way to go.
Xie Kai clocked out of get off work in 3 quarters, scored 30 points, 5 rebounds, 10 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks. His performance was perfect.Moreover, his stats were not based on statistics. When the score was at its tightest, he was the one who led the team's second team and rubbed the opponent's second team on the ground.
Although Irving also scored 19 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal, he performed well according to the statistics, but his efficiency was a bit low, especially when facing Xie Kai's defense, he made 4 of 0 shots and fell completely at a disadvantage.
After winning this game, the Grizzlies consolidated their No. 45 position in the league with a record of 13 wins and [-] losses.
After the game, in an interview with reporters, Xie Kai said: "I'm very happy that we won!"
The reporter asked: "What do you think about Kyrie's comments on the Mamba mentality?"
Xie laughed and said: "I still say that, it doesn't matter if I have a Mamba spirit or not, it has nothing to do with my respect for Kobe. I just play the game in my own way, and I have my basketball philosophy. I don't want to be the second one. Whoever, I will only be the first one to thank you!"
Owen refused the interview, and quickly left the visiting team's locker room and left in a hurry.
After the game, there were so many news about this game, and those sunspots couldn't say what about Xie Kai. His performance and ability are there. The All-Star Game MVP and him are facing each other. It's clear at a glance who is stronger and who is weaker.
Even Charles Barkley of "Wan Nian Xie Hei" did not satirize Xie Kai after the game, but he talked about Irving: "Everyone knows that I don't like Kane Xie, I don't think he is the top superstar But today I want to talk about Kyrie. Since Kyrie won the AMVP, he has become a bit conceited. You have to remember that you have nothing but the honor of the All-Star. Don’t talk about Kobe all the time. They can’t compare, at least they have won the league’s scoring title and have been in it for a while.”
This time, it is rare for K honeys not to attack Barkley, because he didn't hack and thank him again.Although there is no praise, at least it is an objective description.

The Grizzlies made no major trades at the trade deadline, and none of the smaller ones.Their lineup is very stable, basically last season's champion team, and the rest are minor adjustments.
After the All-Star Game, the Grizzlies slowly adjusted their status and gradually entered the playoff mode.The regular season and the playoffs are completely different games.

The momentum of the defending champions is so strong that the rest of the league feels the pressure.Their strength is all-round, with super defense and top insiders as the foundation, which makes their lower limit very high.Their upper limit is also very high. Xie Kai has continued to evolve this season and already has the conditions for an MVP.
It takes a team to have a team, and a superstar to have a superstar. Such a team is more terrifying than the Heat with the Big Three.After all, the Heat's shortcomings are really there-poor inside, poor rebounding, and poor shooting by outside superstars.

However, both sides of this game have reservations, so after the game, experts also have reservations about the topic of this game's possible future finals matchup.
