Chapter 62 Positive attitude towards the game
"Kevin Martin didn't play well today and was severely restricted. If Sacramento doesn't make targeted adjustments in the second half of this game, it will be very difficult for them." Hubie Brown lamented.
"Dwyane's defense is really good. He restricted Kevin well on the off-ball end, forcing him to hold the ball one-on-one. In this case, Kevin couldn't force points against him.
." Mike Tirico said.
"In the final analysis, there is still a talent gap between the two teams, and Sacramento's style of play is also restrained by Miami!" Hubie Brown continued.
During the halftime break, Kings coach Reggie Tois was very dissatisfied with the performance of the starting lineup. It was not that he could not accept the team losing to their opponents on the road, but he could not lose so cowardly, not to mention that he had never taken the lead in the entire game.
, and was beaten by the opponent. It seemed that there was a tendency to be beaten in the half.
The visiting team's locker room is a bit lifeless. Although the opponent is very good on paper, it is still the last one last season. If it is beaten by such an opponent, then it is really a bit of a joke for the team to compete for tickets to the playoffs this season.
mean.
The third quarter of the game started quickly. The fans in the American Airlines Center Arena were in high spirits. They saw the home team abusing the opponent. Although the game was not exciting enough, it was fun to watch! It would be okay if they could be so brutal against their opponents every game.
ah!
As soon as the game started in the third quarter, the main players of the two teams fought again, but the situation was no different from the first half. The Kings could not attack and defend, and the score quickly reached more than 20 points.
With about 5 minutes left in the third quarter, the score difference between the two sides had reached 30 points, and the game seemed to be entering garbage time early.
Judging from the time, the game did not seem to have completely lost its suspense. However, judging from the scene, almost no one present, including those in front of the TV and computer, believed that this Kings team could get the score back.
When Xie Kai came on the court, the difference between the two sides had reached 33 points. He wanted to help the team win, but the situation did not allow him to complete this task.
"When will the first regular season win of my NBA career come?" Xie Kai kept asking himself in his heart, but he couldn't get the answer. No matter when it comes, one thing that is basically certain is that it cannot be this game.
Already.
Xie Kai was still working very hard on the court. He felt that he should not play passively and casually just because there was no suspense in the game.
No matter when, you should be positive. You are a rookie and a person who is determined to become a great player. You cannot let everyone feel that you are not enterprising.
"Mike, Kane is a really good rookie. Look, the outcome of the game is no longer in suspense. He still plays so hard. What's more, what surprises me is that he didn't take random shots in garbage time.
Deliberately get data for yourself." Hubby Brown said.
"Well, judging from this game, his playing skills are very good. His defense is aggressive and tough, but not dirty. He doesn't brush up data during garbage time, which is really good!" Mike Tirico nodded in affirmation.
In the final quarter of the game, the entire quarter was garbage time. The Kings' rookies, water cooler players, etc. all got the opportunity to play.
In the end, the Heat defeated the visiting Kings at home and won their first victory in the regular season this season.
Xie Kai played the entire 4th quarter of this game and played a season-high 24 minutes in total. He made 6 of 11 shots, including 2 of 4 3-pointers and 5 of 7 free throws. He scored a team-high 19 points and seven.
He had 3 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 steals, 1 block, and 1 turnover. His performance can be said to be quite outstanding.
But when the final whistle sounded, there was no smile on Xie Kai's face. In his opinion, the team was slaughtered by the opponent for 30 points, and even if he scored the highest score in the game, there was nothing to celebrate.
The game was over, and Xie Kai hugged his old teammate Chalmers goodbye before returning to the locker room.
"Congratulations, Mario, you won!" Xie Kai sent his blessings to his old teammates.
"Kane, it's still hard for me to adjust. I won, but you lost. I finally realized that we are no longer at the University of Kansas!" Chalmers was still amused. He still missed and thanked Kai very much.
Others' years in Kansas.
"Yes, we are in different teams now, and there will definitely be opportunities to play against each other. Winning or losing is inevitable. Of course, it might feel better if we are in the same team!" Xie Kai said.
After saying goodbye to his teammate Chalmers, Xie Kai returned to the locker room and began to apply ice. There were not many reporters in the visiting team's locker room for interviews. The Kings players were not very happy about losing by a big score, so the interviewees were not
not much.
At the press conference after the game, Kings coach Reggie Tois said that the team needs to play tougher, especially on the defensive end, and cannot allow the opponent to score easily. He also emphasized that to win the championship, defense must pay attention to defense.
According to the schedule, the Kings will face a wave of "four consecutive away games" at the beginning of the game. Now they have played two away games, and they will play two away games in the Eastern Conference. Their opponents are the Magic and the 76ers.
The Kings have lost two games in a row, and their next game is a back-to-back away game against the Orlando Magic on November 2.
The Magic, which ranked third in the Eastern Conference last season, is a contender for the championship this season under the leadership of "Warcraft" Dwight Howard. If they want to defeat such a strong team on the road, for the current weak Kings,
The difficulty level is quite high.
If they want to avoid losing three games in a row, the Kings need to perform exceptionally to have a chance.
Orlando is located in the center of Florida, USA, and is one of the world's leisure and tourism cities. It is home to the world's largest Disneyland, which is as famous as Los Angeles Disney, as well as "The Wizarding World of Harry Potter" built by Warner Bros. and Universal Studios.
”.
He has lost two games in a row, so even if it is his first time in Orlando, Xie Kai is not as excited as he was in Minneapolis and Miami before. He is a player who is extremely eager to win the game. If possible,
, he hopes that his team can win every game.
The Magic have not been in very good shape since the start of the season and have lost two games in a row. For a team that intends to compete for the championship, they cannot allow three consecutive losses to start the season. So in this home game against the Kings, they
I want to win more than ever.
