On November 21, the Kings challenged the New Orleans Hornets in back-to-back away games. The two teams met once last month, also at this venue, and the away team won that game.

But now the two teams are no longer what they used to be. The core of the Kings, Kevin Martin, has missed many games due to injuries. His comeback seems to be far away, and their record {7 wins and 20 losses} is also terrible; on the other hand, the Hornets,

After experiencing a bad start at the beginning of the season, it is finally on track, with 15 wins and 7 losses, firmly occupying the first place in the Southwest District.

In this game, both teams played very anxiously throughout the game, but the gap in strength was still obvious. In the end, the Hornets defeated their opponents at home calmly and gave their opponents a 3-game losing streak.

Xie Kai played 19 minutes in this game and scored 12 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal.

Two days later, the Kings lost to the powerful Spurs in San Antonio with a huge disadvantage of nearly 20 points, ushering in a 4-game losing streak.

After losing four games in a row, the halo of new Kings coach Kenny Knight has slowly faded, and Kings fans no longer believe that he can turn waste into wealth and lead the current Kings team to achieve much this season.

After finishing this road trip, the Kings returned to Sacramento. This four-game losing streak on the road was a huge blow to this team that had just changed coaches. Fortunately, the nightmare is over for the time being, and Christmas is here.

Coming.

The annual Christmas game is about to begin, but for the Kings, it has nothing to do with them. The NBA is a business league, and the league is not stupid. It will let a team like this that has nothing to occupy the precious resources of national live broadcasts.

This is simply a waste of natural resources!

The Kings have four days off during the Christmas period, and they will have plenty of rest and adjustment time. But then again, this team, which has almost reached rock bottom, can adjust to nothing if it adjusts again and again.

How about that? Unless a trade is made, relying on this group of people to get a good record in the next regular season is no different from fantasy.

There are many teams at the bottom of the league, but many teams have hoarded a lot of potential stocks with high picks. However, looking at the Kings, there are only two young players who can be called lottery tickets-Jason Thompson and Xie Kai.

But in the eyes of most people, the potential of these two people is not excellent, and their draft picks also indicate that their talents are not optimistic. Even if they can be played, the upper limit may be excellent roles.

Just players.

On the evening of the 24th, Xie Kai was video chatting with his girlfriend Zhou Jing in his rented apartment.

"Hey, have you forgotten something?" Zhou Jing asked suggestively.

"I haven't forgotten, tomorrow is Christmas Eve and the day after tomorrow is Christmas!" Xie Kai said calmly.

Zhou Jing rolled her eyes and said, "Then don't you know what a boyfriend should do on such a festival?"

"Have you not received the gift yet?" Xie Kai asked.

"Got it-" Zhou Jing didn't seem very interested, and she deliberately dragged out the last part of her voice.

Xie Kai's emotional intelligence is not low. He also knows Zhou Jing very well. Of course she is not referring to gifts.

"Jingjing, please forgive me for not being able to spend Christmas with you. You know, my current situation is not very good. Our team has lost four consecutive games. I have to seize the time to train to get more performance opportunities.

, help the team win!" Xie Kai said very sincerely.

Zhou Jing was originally feeling aggrieved, but when she heard Xie Kai's words, she immediately disappeared. She is not the kind of unreasonable girl who only knows how to mess around. He knows Xie Kai's current situation.

"Okay, I won't argue with you this time, but please listen to me, Xie Xiaokai, I will write it all down, and you will have to make it up to me in the future! Humph -" Zhou Jing's little mouth pouted slightly.

Xie Kai was too happy to see such a considerate girlfriend, so of course he agreed repeatedly. He knew that Zhou Jing was not really angry.

Xie Kai is indeed not exaggerating. His current situation is not good. Although he has entered the team's rotation, if the team's record continues to be so rubbish, after the end of the season, even if his data is okay, his performance will be discounted.

This is why Ricky Davis scored 205 with the Cavaliers but could only wander in the league, while Yao Dao was considered a quasi-All-Star player with the Spurs last season with 194. After all, good statistics for a bad team are not

It is recognized because it is said to have been created through brushing.

——In the NBA, no one seems to say that the core players of a championship team increase their statistics.

During the past few days of Christmas, Xie Kai has been training in the training hall. He is practicing his outside shooting, and at the same time practicing singles with Dolby. The two have become good friends since the last one-on-one, and they usually meet together

Train and go eat together.

Xie Kai's training volume is several times that of normal people because he has the talent of "consciousness training". Under normal circumstances, he can maintain 24 hours of uninterrupted training, which is something that others cannot do.

After Christmas, the Kings faced the challenge of the Toronto Raptors at home on December 27.

The Raptors' current record is not outstanding. With a record of 11 wins and 17 losses, it is difficult to rank among the top 8 in the Eastern Conference. The team's new aid O'Neal Jr. has not been able to perform well after joining, and the twin towers formed by him and Bosh are also

Not worthy of its name.

However, in this game, the Raptors' twin towers showed a strong side when facing the Kings' weak interior. O'Neal Jr. scored a season-high 36 points and added 7 rebounds, completely destroying the Kings' interior defense.

Even if Xie Kai's substitute contribution was 157,721, he still could not help the team win.

In the end, the Kings lost to the visiting Raptors at home, ushering in an embarrassing five-game losing streak.

On December 29, the Kings continued to play at home and welcomed the defending champion Boston Celtics.

In this game, from beginning to end, the home team did not get any chance. They were bombarded by their opponents and ultimately lost by 45 points! This was their largest loss since the start of the regular season this season.

None of the Kings' starters scored in double figures. The few fans at Sleep Train Arena kept booing to express their dissatisfaction, and many fans even left the game early.

6 consecutive losses! The Kings achieved a terrible record of 1 win and 6 losses after the coaching change, and almost everyone woke up from their remaining dreams. Kenny Knight is not a savior, he is just an assistant coach.
Chapter completed!
