The next day, the Kings returned home to face the Charlotte Bobcats. In this game, they still lost to their opponents, ushering in a two-game losing streak!

After the game, the Kings' record reached 16 wins and 30 losses, which is already very far away from the 50% winning rate, but it is one step closer to being the league's deputy squad leader.

Kevin Martin still performed well, and he found his touch on the offensive end. But for the Kings, his outstanding performance could not help the team win, which made the team more determined to send him away.

Martin's recovery also makes the team excited, because his market price will rise.

The Kings ended all their games in January with a two-game losing streak. In the 15 games this month, they only won 2 games... They abruptly transformed themselves from a team competing for playoff tickets to a team that competes for playoff tickets.

A team competing for the No. 1 pick...

Fortunately, the trade deadline is getting closer. If Kevin Martin's offer is reasonable, they can sell him and then smash it to pieces and let Xie Kai and Evans practice.

.

On February 2, the Kings went to Denver Plateau to challenge the Nuggets away from home. In this game, they played very well, but in the end they still lost to their opponents and ushered in a three-game losing streak.

Two days later, the Kings lost at home to the powerful San Antonio Spurs, losing their fourth consecutive game.

This is not over yet. Two days later, they continued to lose at home, losing to the Phoenix Suns, ushering in a five-game losing streak...

Continuous losses have demoralized this young team, and everyone no longer knows why they are playing on the court. Sometimes they want to win, but find that they are not strong enough and lack blood. Everyone has almost forgotten what victory feels like.

Already.

The tragedy continued. On February 8, the Kings visited the Air Canada Center in Toronto, Canada to challenge the Raptors away from home.

In this game, the Raptors' star "Dragon King" Chris Bosh showed off his might, scoring 36 points, 11 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 block. He completely dominated the inside and completely destroyed the Kings' inside.

The Kings were also defeated by the opponent and ushered in a 6-game losing streak!

Bosh is also one of the main targets of the Kings during the summer offseason. Seeing him act recklessly in the paint, the team management is getting more and more greedy.

Two days later, the Kings visited New York's Madison Square Garden to face the Knicks.

This game can be regarded as a duel between a pair of brothers in need. This game was extremely tense, with both sides taking the lead many times, and the game finally reached a critical moment.

In the end, the Kings relied on more stable free throws to narrowly defeat the Knicks in the away game, ending their 6-game losing streak!

One day later, the Kings played back-to-back away games against the Detroit Pistons, one of the weakest players in the Eastern Conference. They continued to perform well in this game and narrowly defeated their opponents on the road, ushering in a long-lost two-game winning streak.

At this point, the Kings have played all the games before the All-Star break. With a record of 18 wins and 34 losses, they rank third from the bottom in the Western Conference and are one of the worst in the league.

The Kings' management is not afraid of losing. They know what the team's goals are. The management is currently very busy. They are listening to offers from other teams for Kevin Martin.

Kevin Martin has been determined not to be in the team's long-term plan since the end of last season. Xie Kai's emergence this season has made the team's idea of ​​​​trading him even stronger. But they don't really want to waste it.

Send this quasi-All-Star shooting guard in his prime.

But those teams that want to get Kevin Martin are not stupid, and they are not willing to use their important future assets to trade for a scorer from a weak team. Martin's contract is not small. To take his contract, many people do not have it.

Teams with salary space cannot do this. And those teams with ample space are mostly rebuilding teams. What do they need such a player? Rebuilding teams need superstars or high draft picks, but not this kind of team.

Non-superstars who eat up space hinder the growth of young people in the team, and also affect the team's ability to catch big fish in the free market.

As for how to trade, this is a matter for the management. Xie Kai doesn't care or think about it. In his opinion, Kevin Martin's days with the Kings are probably numbered. From this time on, the team has been crazy.

You can tell by asking him to brush up the points, he is letting potential buyers take a look at the goods!

Of course Xie Xin hopes that Martin can leave. Although he and Martin have a good relationship in private, Martin's existence does give him less opportunities to exercise. Moreover, Martin cannot lead the team to win, which is because of his competitive spirit.

It is the most uncomfortable thing for someone who is so strong.

The All-Star Weekend is coming soon, and Xie Kai needs to gather his spirits and happily attend the first NBA All-Star Weekend in his career.

Unfortunately, this All-Star Weekend coincides with the Chinese New Year, so Xie Kai's girlfriend Zhou Jing went back to China for the New Year and was unable to come to the scene to cheer for him.

However, Xie Kai believes that this will not be his last All-Star trip. He will definitely enter the All-Star Game many times in the future, and he will appear on the stage of the All-Star Game, for sure!

Although no player from the Kings was selected for this All-Star Game, three players from the team were selected for this All-Star Rookie Challenge.

The Kings specially held a small-scale press conference for these three players, and also hired photographers to take various photos of the three players.

The atmosphere of the All-Star Weekend is already very strong. This period can also be regarded as a good opportunity to rest and recuperate from the long NBA regular season. Players who do not have game obligations can take this opportunity to take a short vacation and reunite with family and friends. Those who are injured

Players who are present can also take the opportunity to recuperate from injuries and regain their physical fitness.

This NBA All-Star season is the 59th and will be held at the Cowboys Stadium of the Dallas professional football team, which is still under construction. This All-Star weekend event is jointly hosted by the Mavericks, Cowboys and the city of Dallas. Rookie game and dunk,

The Three-Point Contest is held at the American Airlines Center, home of the Mavericks.

Since this All-Star Game coincides with the traditional Chinese Spring Festival, Xie Kai cannot be reunited with his parents at home in order to participate in the All-Star Game. Fortunately, he cannot move at home, but his parents can move around freely. They discussed it with Xie Kai

, we agreed to come to Dallas to spend the All-Star Weekend with him, which was also regarded as the Chinese New Year.

The road from Los Angeles to Dallas is not long, and it doesn't take long to get there by plane. At the airport, Xie Kai met his parents. In addition to his parents, his cousin's family also came.

Xie Kai's aunt Xie Meiya was a little surprised when she saw her nephew, so she explained with a smile: "Akai, don't you welcome us?"

"How is that possible? Welcome! This is your restaurant..."

Xie Meiya said with a smile: "We can't make enough money. It's already the New Year, so let's have a lively New Year!"
Chapter completed!
