After a wild victory on the road, the Kings will continue their Eastern Conference road trip. Their last opponent on the Eastern Conference road trip is the Philadelphia 76ers.

Although the Philadelphia 76ers do not have a superstar, they do have a lot of young talents. They are currently ranked among the top 8 in the Eastern Conference and have a very high possibility of entering the playoffs.

In this game, the Kings were unable to continue the good touch they had in the previous game. They lost to the opponent step by step in the away game and missed a winning streak.

In Xie Kai's memory, it seems that except for the team's winning streak at the beginning of the season, there has been no winning streak since then. The long-term losses have made the players on the team forget what it feels like to win in a row.

Fortunately, the road trip in the Eastern Conference is over. The fatigue of the journey has left the Kings players with no time to appreciate the beautiful scenery of the away city. The consecutive losses have made it difficult for them to feel comfortable.

Competitive sports are so cruel. If you are a loser, it will be difficult for you to get the pleasure of success.

The Kings return to their home court and will face the Memphis Grizzlies on the 28th of this month. The two teams are inseparable and can be regarded as competitors for the No. 1 pick.

The attention of this game is not high. There is no way, the Grizzlies are not the Knicks, neither the fans nor the media want to watch this kind of game between bad teams.

When watching this kind of game, in the words of one fan - "What's so interesting to watch! Want to see their acting skills?"

On the night of the 28th, the Kings lost to the Grizzlies by a huge score at home, ushering in a two-game losing streak!

The Grizzlies' Darrell Arthur is Xie Kai's teammate in college. This teammate is currently firmly in the starting lineup. But if he and Xie Kai are compared, strictly speaking, one is a "pseudo starter" and the other is a "fake starter".

"Fake substitute". Arthur, the starter, averages less than 20 minutes per game, while Xie, the substitute, averages more than 20 minutes per game.

After the game, the hot comments from netizens can be summed up as - there is no winner in this game!

Two days later, on the 30th of this month, the Kings continued to play at home against the Suns.

In this game, the Kings performed well offensively and narrowly defeated their opponents at home, ending their two-game losing streak.

Xie Kai scored 11 points, 9 rebounds, 2 steals and 1 block, a "quasi-triple-double".

Even if he performed well and the team won, it was still difficult for Xie Kai to be happy. Being in a bad team made him feel uncomfortable. On the one hand, although the team did not express it clearly, it basically wanted to win.

It seems like he made a mistake when he won. On the other hand, it doesn't matter if the team loses, but for a player with such a strong competitive spirit, it's really not that easy to accept.

In addition, there are not many games left in the regular season. Even if I hope that this bad season will end soon, when this day is coming, I will feel a little nostalgic. In the first season of my NBA career, I will start with

Is this the end? I can’t believe it, but it’s the truth.

With a record of 16 wins and 55 losses, the only choice is to compete for the No. 1 pick. There is no other way to go! This is the current situation of the Kings.

On April 1st, the Kings played against the New Orleans Hornets at home on April Fool's Day. But I wonder if it was a big joke on April Fool's Day. They were leading by 2 points at the end of the game, but were defeated by Rasu?

Butler's 3-pointer kills!

No winning streak again!

The loss in this game seemed to have used up all the Kings' luck this season. Starting from the 2nd of this month until the 14th, they lost to the Warriors, Suns, Warriors, Lakers, Rockets, Clippers, Spurs and Nuggets.

Jin, ushered in 9 consecutive losses.

This is the Kings' longest losing streak this season. Not only that, they also broke the team's longest losing streak in the past 10 years. The team is determined to fail, and the team's strength is indeed limited.

Even if Kevin Martin scored a career-high 50 points on April 2, he still couldn't help the team win a game.

After nine consecutive losses, the Kings defeated the Timberwolves, who were also in bad shape, 97:90 in the final game of the season, ending all 82 regular season games this season.

In the end, the Kings' record was 17 wins and 65 losses, with a winning rate of just over 20%, ranking last among the 30 NBA teams. For them, the last record means that they have the highest potential in future draft lottery draws.

chance of getting the No. 1 pick.

Although 2009 cannot be called a big year for the super draft like 1996 and 2003, it is by no means a small year for the draft. There will be outstanding young people such as Blake Griffin participating in the draft.

After coach Kenny Knight took over, the Kings' record was 11 wins and 47 losses, which was not as good as the 6 wins and 18 losses of predecessor Reggie Toews.

Although the Kings were in trouble late in the All-Star Game, this record is not the true coaching level of Kenny Knight, but it does not prove that he is better than his predecessor Reggie Toews. After all, although the team

There were a lot of transactions, but the difference in paper strength before and after the transaction was not that big.

After Xie Kai joined the Kings, he never thought that his rookie season would be spent in a team ranked last from the bottom. But he had no choice. The good thing is that he at least got a lot of opportunities to perform this season.

, if you are in a strong championship contending team, it is unlikely that the team will give you so many opportunities to practice.

In the NBA, for those teams that did not make the playoffs, the season is basically over, and the players can do what they want to do soon. Whether it is fishing or where to go on vacation, it is everyone's own business.

Choice, the team will not interfere.

Xie Kai's rookie season is over. In the 2008-09 season, he played in all 82 games, starting 4 games, averaging 22.6 minutes per game, averaging 12.3 points, 6.3 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 1.6 steals, 0.8 blocks and 1 turnover per game.

The shooting percentage was 45.3%, the three-point shooting percentage was 36.9%, and the free throw shooting percentage was 78.5%.

In an interview after the end of the season, Xie Kai said that he would train hard during the offseason to improve himself and strive for better performance next season.

There are still three years left on his rookie contract, so in theory, even if the team does not exercise the team option in the third year and gives up on him (the possibility is extremely small), at least next season, he will still have a fully guaranteed contract. Of course, it is not ruled out.

The possibility that the team will trade itself.

However, these are all things for next season... Xie Kai's rookie season is completely over. If there is no chance of the playoffs, then there is no chance of playing in the NBA in May or even June.

Xie Kai's good friend Russell Westbrook's Thunder team achieved a record of 23 wins and 59 losses this season, which is about the same as the Kings, not much better. They are also among the bottom five teams in the league, and they have quite a lot of possessions.
