Chapter 183 Another 4-game winning streak on the way

The morale of the Nets is very low, and the consecutive losses have made the players doubt themselves and the team many times. But there is no way, even if the losing streak continues, the game must continue. Fortunately, not every opponent is strong, in this league

There are still many rebuilding teams here. As long as we defeat these teams and stop this embarrassing losing streak first, it is more important than anything else.

It just so happens that the Kings are a rebuilding team recognized by the league.

However, although the Kings are not strong on paper, they have just ended their losing streak but have a strong desire to win. They do not want to be the background that ends the Nets' embarrassing losing streak. It is not easy to find someone weaker than themselves who will not be ruthless at home.

If you step on it twice, you will be sorry to the fans at the scene.

In this game, the Kings played with great momentum. They completely had the psychological advantage and momentum, and never gave their opponents any chance from beginning to end.

In the end, the Kings defeated the Nets at home for their 16th consecutive defeat!

The Nets still failed to end their losing streak against the Kings, and how many consecutive games they will lose has become a topic of great concern to everyone in the league. The current longest losing streak in NBA history is 24 games, and

They are only 8 games away from this record.

The Kings defeated the Nets and ushered in two consecutive victories.

Two days later, the Kings continued to sit at home against the New Orleans Hornets.

The Hornets' current record is not good, with a record of 7 wins and 9 losses not even as good as the Kings' 7 wins and 8 losses. In this game, the team's backcourt engine Chris Paul will be absent. The team wants to get out of Sacramento.

It's really not an easy task.

The result was exactly as expected before the game. The Hornets played away from home and had a very difficult time without Paul. Not only was the offensive end extremely constipated, but the defense was also distracted by the impact of the opponent's young players.

The Kings took the initiative in the second quarter and maintained their advantage until the end, winning the game and winning 3 consecutive games!

Xie Kai scored a game-high 30 points, helping the team win 3 consecutive victories and once again increase the winning rate to 50% (8 wins and 8 losses).

In this way, the Kings' games in November were all over. Even when the core of the team, Kevin Martin, was unfortunately injured in November, this young team did not recover. The young backcourt twin stars Xie Kai and Tyreke?

Evans held up the team and made people shine.

If someone had predicted before the start of the season that the Kings' record would be ahead of the Hornets' record in more than a month, they would probably be called nonsense. But now, this is a fact.

The Kings' backcourt duo of Xie Kai and Evans look promising. Even Casspi, a late first-round pick, is full of energy on the offensive end. Jason Thompson, the No. 12 pick in last season's first round, is working hard.

He has the potential to become a high-level blue-collar player. Moreover, this team still has a lot of draft picks!

The sudden emergence of Xie Kai allows the Kings to boldly trade core Kevin Martin. Even if they cannot exchange potential new stars, they can at least exchange for some future assets. At the end of the day, they can also exchange for some expiring contracts to clear space.

.

It can be said that with the current lineup, it may be unrealistic for the Kings to enter the playoffs in the Western Conference, but the future is bright - there is room to pursue big fish such as James in next year's offseason, and they have two stars in the backcourt.

The future can be guaranteed.

On December 3, the Kings will face their first opponent in December-the Indiana Pacers.

The Pacers ranked 9th in the Eastern Conference with a record of 36 wins and 46 losses last season, but unfortunately failed to enter the playoffs. They made a comeback this season, hoping to compete for tickets to the playoffs. However, their record since the start of the season has not been that good.

Ideal, with a current record of 6 wins and 9 losses, ranks 10th in the Eastern Conference, which is an embarrassing position.

Judging from the records of the two teams last season, the Pacers should be better than the Kings. However, the current Kings team has 8 wins and 8 losses, and currently has 3 consecutive wins. Naturally, it is a worthy opponent at home.

The Pacers have lost two games in a row, and they desperately need a win to end the losing streak, and the Kings seem to be a good opponent to end the losing streak.

The attendance at Sleep Train Arena, the home of the Kings, is quite good. According to league statistics, their market is comparable to those of playoff teams. It makes sense for fans to pay attention to this game and come to watch the game.

, because the home team is likely to win its second 4-game winning streak this season.

The winning streak has put a lot more smiles on the faces of the Kings players. During the warm-up before the game, they were talking and laughing among themselves, without any pressure from the game.

For the Kings, there is originally no pressure on record this season. Cultivating the young people in the team and preparing for next summer is their goal.

In this game, the starting lineup of the Kings at home is: center - Spencer Hawes, power forward - Jason Thompson, small forward - Andis Nocioni, shooting guard - Xie

Open, point guard - Tyreke Evans.

The Kings' starting lineup is quite stable. It has not changed since Xie Kai was promoted to the starting lineup.

The Pacers' starting lineup for the away game is: Center - Roy Hibbert, Power Forward - Troy Murphy, Small Forward - Danny Granger, Shooting Guard - Deng Tai Jones,

Point Guard - TJ Ford.

The commentators for this game are Kevin Harlan and Reggie Miller.

Reggie Miller is a legend of the Pacers, so it is very appropriate for him to commentate on this game.

"Reggie, when I commentate on the Indiana game with you, will you be biased?" Kevin Harlan joked.

Reggie Miller shook his head and waved his hands to deny: "Absolutely not. I am a professional and objective commentator. I have retired. Even if I have too many memories with this team, they are all in the past.

Yes. Work is work, and memories are memories. Please believe in my professional ethics."

Amid the cheers of the fans at the scene, the Kings team began its appearance ceremony.

As usual, Xie Kai made his last appearance. Because he took Kevin Martin's place, he made his last appearance in the 11 games he started, as long as they were home games.

Some people have also raised questions about this, but Xie Kai has answered these questions with his outstanding performance. Currently, his scoring average ranks first in the team, and his plus-minus value on the field is also first, so even if someone in the team has

Different opinions can only be kept in the stomach and cannot be expressed.

"The atmosphere at Sacramento's home court is really good. It's hard to imagine that this team was last in the league last season!" Kevin Harlan laughed.
