Xie Kai scored 15 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steal in the half.
Intermission.
Kevin Harlan yawned, smiled to Chris Webber beside him, and said, "If Toronto wants to win this game, it must have more than one explosive point!"
Webber agreed: "The two insiders in the starting lineup have to play with momentum, and Rudy on the wing must overcome his inner demons. Facing Taishaen, who is so much older than him, he needs to play aggressive and change the opponent's defense."
Section 3 started soon.
Conley dribbles over and runs the offense at the top of the arc.
The White Bears came out to cover, and Conley dribbled the ball to the right.
Xie Kai cut out from the right wing and Conley scored.
Xie Kai received the ball and faced DeRozan.
The cheers rose immediately. Obviously, in this team, it was clear at a glance who was more popular.
DeRozan's defense is actually not bad, although it is not a big gate, but in the position of No. 2, he rarely suffers from physical confrontation or something.
Xie Kai holds the ball and walks to the left, then changes direction with his crotch and walks to the right. Using his speed, he seizes his position and kills the basket. After attracting Valanciunas' defensive attention, he distributes the ball to the black bear from a small angle!
Black Bear throws the ball into the frame with one hand!
At 54:43, the Grizzlies led the score to double digits!Thank you for the 6th assist in this game!
"Beautiful! Kane Xie's breakthrough goal, the timing and technique are just right!" Kevin Harlan praised.
The Raptors attacked here, DeRozan scored Lowry on the outside line, Lowry scored again, and Gay hit the iron with a jumper!
The black bear aggressively accepted the backcourt rebound and handed it to Conley to advance.
Xie Kai comes out without the ball here, catches the high-position support ball from Xiaojiasao, and shoots a 3-pointer!
The iron was hit, but the Black Bear grabbed an offensive rebound!
The ball was in Xie Kai's hands again, this time he didn't let the opportunity slip away, 3 points up and down!
57:43, the score difference reached 14 points!
There was a timeout on the sidelines, which was called by the Raptors.
The scene was full of jubilation, and the cheers went straight to the sky.
"The suspense of the game seems to be getting smaller and smaller!" Kevin Harlan laughed.
"From the current point of view, it is indeed the case, unless there is a burst in the future, but it seems that Rudy has not yet come out of that mentality." Weber said.
Back from the timeout, Lowry made a layup and made a foul!
Lowry made two free throws to help the team save some face.
But Conley immediately used a mid-range emergency stop jumper and returned the favor!
The point difference is still 14 points.
Gay held the ball here, faced the old prince, forced a breakthrough, and was blocked for a layup!
Xie Kai received the backcourt rebound, held the ball and pushed to counterattack, but was destroyed by the opponent's tactical foul.
In the subsequent games, until Xie Kai took a break in the middle of this quarter, the Grizzlies still maintained a double-digit lead.
After Tony Allen came up, the Raptors chased points to 6 points.But when it came to the rotation stage, Xie Kai led the Grizzlies' second team to a 2:10 spurt, which completely killed the suspense of the game.
The final quarter of the game was also uneventful. The Raptors have limited talent and hopeless reversal.
In the end, the Grizzlies easily defeated the Raptors 108:97 at home, ushering in a 3-game winning streak.
谢开本场比赛表现出色，他砍下全场最高的29分，外加8个篮板10个助攻3个抢断1个盖帽。
Rudy Gay was sleepwalking in this game. He only made 12 of 2 shots and 4 of 2 free throws. He only scored 6 points and 1 rebound. His performance was very poor.
After the game, Gay refused to be interviewed and left the arena he was familiar with early.
After Xie started the game, he was surrounded by media reporters in the locker room.
Reporter: "May I ask you to beat Rudy Gay in this game, are you very happy?"
Xie laughed and said, "I'm very happy, but not because of this, but because we won 3 consecutive victories."
"May I ask if you contacted Rudy Gay after he was traded?" the reporter asked.
"Sorry, this is my private matter, so it's not convenient to answer!"
"Is it possible for you to reconcile?"
"I don't know, no one can tell what will happen in the future..."
Since Xie Kai entered the league, he has encountered various interviews from reporters from time to time. He has long been trained to deal with various interviews. He knows what to say and what not to say.In terms of his current status in the alliance, saying the wrong thing is likely to be suppressed.
After the game, there was not much discussion about the outcome of this game. The first place in the west and the second last place in the east, the latter is still in the away game. Losing is a high probability, so there is nothing to say.
After beating the Raptors at home, the Grizzlies ended November with a three-game winning streak.In the 3 games this month, they won 11 of them, and the winning percentage created the best team opening season history.
On December 12, the NBA officially announced the best players in the East and West last week and the best players in the East and West last month.
Carmelo Anthony of the New York Knicks of the East and Xie Kai of the Grizzlies of the West won the best of the week; while LeBron James of the Eastern Heat and Xie Kai of the Grizzlies of the West won the best of the month.
This is the second time in Xie Kai's career that he won the title of Player of the Month after entering the NBA.Not only that, but he has won the best player of the month across seasons, which is even more meaningful.
On December 12, the Grizzlies played against the Detroit Pistons at home.
Today's Pistons are no longer the Pistons when they won the championship in 2004. Now they have entered the rebuilding phase, and the team's champions have basically been traded.
This game is the first time the old Prince Prince faced his old club after being traded. He will continue to start this game.
In this game, the Grizzlies defended the opponent to only 78 points. They beat the opponent at home and ushered in a 4-game winning streak.With this wave of 4 consecutive victories, they are still firmly ranked first in the Western Conference.
The next day, the Grizzlies played back-to-back away games against the San Antonio Spurs, currently No. 2 in the Western Conference.
This is the first contest between the two teams this season. In the second round of the Western Conference playoffs last season, the Grizzlies were swept by each other.
The process of this game was very anxious. The two sides took the lead alternately 23 times throughout the game, and the biggest lead never exceeded 5 points. The game was played very tragically.
The game once entered overtime. At the last moment of overtime, the Spurs relied on Duncan's iconic mid-range hit to beat the Grizzlies and end their opponent's 4-game winning streak.
Although the Grizzlies lost the game, they still continue to rank first in the Western Conference with a record of 12 wins and 3 losses.
谢开本场比赛砍下了35分11个篮板4次助攻2个抢断1个盖帽，遗憾未能帮助球队获得胜利。
Although the Grizzlies lost, they also used their toughness and strength to declare to the league: they are now ranked first in the Western Conference, not by luck, but by having a strong foundation.
