Chapter 371 Refreshing the scoring record in a single quarter
首节比赛灰熊队凭借着谢开的火热手感，以31:23领先小牛队8分。谢开8投6中，其中3分球5投3中，罚球4罚3中，砍下18分2个篮板1次助攻1次抢断，没有出现任何事物，表现堪称完美。

18 points is a new high in a single quarter of Xie Kai's NBA playoff career (the previous highest was 15 points). His performance not only shocked his opponents, but also surprised the media.You must know that this is the Western Conference Finals, not the first round, nor is it garbage time.And although the opponent didn't arrange a pinch attack, everyone has seen the strength of the defense. He and Stevenson almost fought just now.

Therefore, there is still no problem with the gold content of Xie Kai's scoring record in a single quarter.

"Director Zhang, Xie Kai felt very good in the first quarter. Do you think the Mavericks will flank him next?" Yu Jia said.

"I don't think so for the time being. Think about it, the general NBA team's game plan is formulated before the game. For example, defending Xie Kai, let Stephenson or Marion defend alone, as long as Xie Kai does not continue to play. High-light performance, you should not go to flanking." Director Zhang explained.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the rotation lineups of the two sides confronted each other.For the Mavericks, the main rotation is Terry + Barea in the backcourt, the old three-pointer Peja on the wing, and veteran Brandon Haywood on the inside.Except for Barea, who is under 2 years old, the others are all veterans.

Terry and Barea played very well in the first two rounds of the playoffs. They are the engine and main output of the team's second team.

But I don't know what happened in this game. Terry, who came on the stage early, didn't feel offensive, and neither did Barea and others in the second team.

Of course, the Grizzlies' defense is very good, but the Mavericks' overall inaccuracy must be the main problem with themselves.

Fortunately, the Grizzlies' second team offense was also unable to play, so the score between the two sides was not opened.

Soon, the starting lineups of both sides came back one after another.

谢开回来的时候，距离第2节比赛结束还剩下7分11秒才，此时的场上比分是36：29，灰熊队领先7分。

Conley dribbled the ball and gave it to Xie Kai.

Xie Kai faced Terry's defense and gave the ball to the black bear in the low post.

The Black Bear hit Chandler in the low post and hit a hook, and the point difference was 9 points.

But looking back, Nuo Tianwang Biao scored a goal, and the point difference returned to 6 points.

What the fans at the scene are very concerned about now is whether Xie Kaihui will continue to perform as explosively as in the first quarter.The Mavericks are actually afraid of this kind of perimeter player with explosive scoring.Of course, there is almost no team in the NBA that is not afraid of such players.

Conley dribbles the ball to Tony Allen.

Marion's defense was almost one step away from Xie Kai, let alone Tony Allen. The opponent was outside the 3-point line, and he almost didn't take a look. He was ready to help defend the flanks and inside at any time.

Tony Allen's defense is indeed the top outside the league, but his offense is really hard to describe.If he has an NBA-average outside shooting percentage, then he is one of the best 3D players in the league.

Tony Allen gave the ball to the White Bears in the high post for a transition, and the latter responded in the high post.

With the help of the Black Bear's off-ball screen, Xie Kai got rid of Old Terry and cut to the basket.

The white bear's ball was delivered immediately, Xie Kai made a backhand layup and hit the rebound!

"Strike, air cut means great!" Yu Jia exclaimed.

Director Zhang also praised: "Thank you for opening the ball and finishing it wonderfully!"

This is considered an Answer ball, and the Mavericks fans in the stands looked a little unhappy.The home team scored a goal here, and immediately returned a goal there. When will they catch up with the score?
After this counter-basket hit, Xie Kai scored his first score in the second quarter, and their total score also reached 2 points.

The Grizzlies defended each other for 24 seconds in the ensuing defensive round.

Conley dribbles over and deals at the top of the key.

Xie Kai continued to screen without the ball, from the bottom line to the bottom corner to the left corner, opportunities appeared.

Conley's throw was timely, Xie Kai caught the ball and it was a jump shot -- and there!
The difference is in double digits!This is the biggest point difference between the two sides so far in this game!Mavericks timeout!

The American Airlines Center arena seemed a bit quiet. The fans of the home team never understood how the team, which had such an excellent defense before, was suddenly overwhelmed by a second-rate star like Xie Kai.
You must know that in the last round of the game, when the Mavericks were defending the league's No. [-] Kobe Bryant, they were not necessarily as passive as they are today. What happened to the team?
Back from the timeout, Stevenson, who was replaced early for 2 fouls in the first quarter, replaced Jason Terry.

Mavericks fans gave him a round of applause.They need to see the passion and the strength of the team. The former group of veterans played so lifelessly that the fans really couldn't help but complain.

After Stephenson came up, he passed by Xie Kai, and deliberately bumped into each other: "I'm back, your good days are over!"

Xie laughed and said, "That's not necessarily the case!"

"Hey, these two seem to be talking about something!" Director Zhang has sharp eyes and immediately noticed it.

Yu Jia said with a smile: "It must be some provocative words. In the first quarter, Stevenson seemed to be thanked."

The game continues.

Old Kidd dribbled the ball and gave it to Stephenson.

Stephenson forced his way out, and the referee's whistle sounded—a defensive foul!
Xie laughed and stretched out his hand.

The Mavericks served in the frontcourt, and Stevenson got the ball and distributed it to Nuo Tianwang at the basket.

Nuo Tianwang made a fallback jumper and narrowed the point difference to less than 10 points.

The Grizzlies made a fast serve, and Xie made a long pass to find Tony Allen, who was fast down the frontcourt, and the latter caught the ball and made a layup!
The point difference returned to 10 points again!
"The Grizzlies are chasing the Mavericks' ass!" Director Zhang laughed.

Yu Jia said with a smile: "Who would have thought that the Grizzlies this season could also play this kind of offense in less than 5 seconds. What Xie Kai brought to this team is really not only the peripheral firepower!"

The Mavericks did increase their defense against Xie Kai in the second quarter. They will make fake defenses when he holds the ball, and they are also very tight on the outside, not giving easy openings.After he really entered the penalty area, the boxing champion would come to block him in advance.

But Xie Kai was not obsessed with his own strong attack in this situation. He started to create opportunities for his teammates, and the Grizzlies' offense was still very smooth.

At halftime, the Grizzlies led the Mavericks by 57 points 49:11!
The Mavericks were led by 11 points at halftime, and some fans couldn't help booing them.

Xie Kai scored 25 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals in the half, and his performance is still very good.
