Chapter 379 The First and Second Half of Super God and Super Ghost

After returning from the timeout, the Grizzlies finally scored the team's first 2 points in the second half by relying on Xiao Jiasao's mid-range.

After the goal was scored, the 2 or so people on the scene seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

The game then entered a confrontational stage, and the Mavericks' offensive efficiency finally came down, but their score has almost caught up.

The Grizzlies' offense was nothing like the first half, with low offensive efficiency and high turnovers.What's worse, Xie Kai seems to be restrained by Barea.

From the first round, Xie Kai's opponents ranged from rookies at the same level George Hill, Yaodao, Richard Jefferson to Sefolosha and Harden in the second round. Really restrain him.This is also one of the key factors for them to reach the Western Conference Finals despite the limited situation of the Black Bears.

But who would have thought that the Mavericks have made extreme changes in the Western Conference finals, and Barea, who is less than 1 meters tall, unexpectedly restrained Xie Kai.

To be precise, Xie Kai's offense with the ball is limited. Although it is difficult for the off-ball side to catch the ball, he can use the off-ball screen and use his height advantage to complete the shot.

But in this case, he had some problems with his mentality in this game, and the final situation was that he couldn't play his usual performance with or without the ball.

谢开第3节4投1中，只得到2分，并出现了辣眼睛的3次失误……

Coach Hollins could only replace him in the second half of the third quarter.

The Mavericks are also very cunning here, immediately replaced Barea and replaced Terry to attack.

The morale of the Grizzlies was completely suppressed by the opponent, and the lax second lineup was still playing normally, and was pressed and beaten by the opponent, unable to lift their heads.

At the end of the third quarter, the Mavericks ushered in a go-ahead and completed the first three quarters with a 3-point advantage.

从半场落后12分到3节战罢领先2分，小牛队在第3节比赛净胜对手14分！
Some of the Grizzlies were beaten up, some would not be able to play, and if they were not at home, they would even doubt themselves a little.

Xie Kai sat on the bench with a towel covering his head, feeling very depressed.He kept replaying the scenes on the field just now in his mind, racking his brains, but he still didn't know how to break the opponent's extremely aggressive post defense.

But no matter what, Xie Kai couldn't find a way to crack it, which made him extremely uncomfortable.He doesn't want to be defeated by the opponent at home, and if he can't crack this defensive method, it may affect the team's impact on the finals.

"I didn't expect JJ's defense to change the trend of the game!" Mike Breen sighed.

Jeff Van Gundy nodded: "The strength of Kane is that he can be a shooter without the ball, he can open up space and mobilize the opponent's defensive formation; with the ball, he can break through or make a jump shot, he can attack by himself and create opportunities for his teammates. This is the most reliable offensive core for the Grizzlies where Zach is restricted, so once he is restricted, they will directly cut off their most reliable offensive arrow, which is why they were reversed in the third quarter s reason."

The second team of the Mavericks is full of offensive power. Terry and Stevenson played very hotly, supplemented by Peja's long gun to open up the space.

After playing more than 2 minutes in the final quarter, the Mavericks have opened the point difference to 7 points.

The Grizzlies immediately suspended and replaced the main force.

But the return of the main force is of no use. Xie Kai still can't help the team out of the quagmire by relying on his unsolvable 3-pointers on the offensive end and creativity on the ball-handling end.

The Grizzlies' offense was completely stuck in constipation, and they could only rely on piecemeal play, unable to form a continuous offense.

Fortunately, although the Grizzlies' offense was constipated, their defense was also unambiguous. They bit the opponent abruptly until the end of the game.

In the final stage, the Mavericks defeated the Grizzlies away by 4 points by virtue of Nuo Tianwang's unsolvable personal offense, rewriting the total score of the series to 2:1.

The Mavericks won this game and regained home court advantage, and the situation of the series changed instantly.

谢开上半场轰下21+4+4+2，可是下半场7投仅2中，罚球4罚2中，得到6分3篮板1助攻，还出现了4次失误，简直一个天一个地。

After the game, Xie Kai did not accept an interview, he needs to be quiet.

And those media naturally don't think it's a big deal, and the titles are exaggerated "JJ Barea completely blows Kane Xie", "JJ let Kane know who is the No.1 foreign player" and so on.

Xie Kai didn't read the news and comments after the game, he knew that those black people would completely deny him, he knew that those so-called reporters and experts would criticize him as useless.Competitive sports are so cruel, when you win, you shit with personality, right.But when you're defeated, you're useless, you're trash.

At night, after taking a shower, Xie Kai was lying on the bed alone, without falling asleep for a long time.He didn't feel sleepy at all, and he remembered every round in the game.He didn't think he was really out of shape, it was really because he was affected by the opponent's defense.In this case, his emotions were somewhat affected, which eventually led to the complete loss of the previous threat on the offensive end.

Xie Kai's cell phone rang when it was so quiet that there was only the sound of the quartz clock in the room.

Xie Kai reached out and took a look, the number was very familiar, it was Zhou Jing.

"Hello—" Xie Kai connected.

"Are you feeling better?" The voice on the phone revealed concern.

"It's better, I'm fine!"

"Don't think too much, just try your best, you are already very good!" No wonder, Zhou Jing understands Xie Kai too, this man often competes with himself when he is in a bad mood, and will not vent to those close to him.

"Jing, I think I'm really in trouble this time!" Xie Kai's voice revealed some helplessness.

"No one has smooth sailing, even Jordan, who was defeated by the Pistons in the Eastern Conference playoffs. This is just your first playoffs, don't put too much pressure on yourself. And, you haven't lost yet! " Zhou Jing comforted.Since falling in love with Xie Kai, she has also taken the initiative to learn a lot about basketball, watching more games than movies.

"I won't give up!" Xie Kai said.He seemed to be speaking to Zhou Jing, but also to himself.

Xie Kai knew that the Mavericks would always use Barea to deal with him in the next game.Barea is not a strong defensive player, but he just hit his own weakness-poor strength and no post.

Compared with the NCAA, Xie Kai's strength has been much better, but in the playoffs, it seems a bit insufficient, especially the core strength is poor, and it is very difficult to meet players with a good foot. It is difficult to gain any advantage in the breakthrough.
