The Lakers are really miserable this season. After Kobe is seriously injured, he still has a few successes when he comes back, which is hard to say. Because of the severe Achilles tendon injury, many of them will lose their explosive power after recovery, which has a greater impact on outside players. What's more, Kobe is already 35 years old, and he is in the late stage of his career, so he can't afford to be injured.

The departure of Warcraft made the Lakers lose their competitiveness. The team suddenly became like a miscellaneous player. The starting players could not even play as a substitute in some strong teams. With his wife alone, he could not support a team. This was proven by him when he was with the Grizzlies.

On November 17, the NBA officially announced the best player in the East and West in Week 3. The best player in the East and West in Week 3 were James in the East and Xie Kai in the West.

These two are the top two players in the regular season MVP last season and are also the two favorites in the MVP this season.

Xie Kai led the Grizzlies to a record of two wins and one loss last week. During his 37.6 minutes of playing time, he averaged 33.1 points, 6.8 rebounds, 8.9 assists, 2.9 steals, 1.1 blocks per game.

This is the second time Xie Kai has won the weekly Best of the Season and the 14th time he has won this honor in his NBA career.

After defeating the Lakers away, the Grizzlies headed to Sacramento to start their second stop in four consecutive away games.

The city of Sacramento is very familiar with Xie Kai, who has been here for two years. Although three years have passed and there have been some changes here, the changes are still not big. The main buildings are still there, and the familiar pizzeria and coffee shop are still there.

Xie Kai is a very affectionate person. Even now, he still feels that if it weren't for having to leave, even if the Kings are a weak team, he would be willing to grow with the team.

But sometimes many things are really not diverted by human will. Evans' jealousy and exclusion made him eventually go to Memphis.

Now, Evans has also left the city in the summer and went to New Orleans, and he has returned to his hometown. The Kings only won 28 games last season, ranking third from the bottom in the West.

The Kings are the team with the longest reconstruction of the entire league, and there is no more. They have really not appeared on the playoff stage for too long. Not to mention the playoffs, even candidates for the playoff tickets are not they. They are like forgotten teams, and the meaning of existence is to play badly. When the foundation of the team is built, they will continue to play badly without waiting.

When other teams face them, they are the targets of winning and treating them as cows...

Of course, the Kings don’t want to be cows, but they just can’t win continuously, and there’s really nothing they can do.

In the games held this season, the Kings are currently ranked fourth from the bottom in the West with a record of 2 wins and 6 losses. Judging from the trends and performance of the game, it seems that it is still a very distant thing for them to enter the playoffs this season.

Because of the visit of the Grizzlies, the Kings' attention has increased a lot of attention. The originally deserted football market has become much more lively, and the tickets have almost been sold out. This is the first time in the beginning of the season to the present.

The Grizzlies are the defending champions. Xie Kai, the core of their team, once played for the Kings. Just these two points are enough to make many fans look forward to this game.

It has been more than three years since Xie Kai left the Kings, but there are still many fans in this city supporting him. This is the location of the third largest K honey in all. According to statistics, the number of K honey in this city is even more than San Francisco, which claims to be a large number of Chinese. It is because Xie Kai has played here for two seasons.

When the Grizzlies got off the plane, a large number of K-Mi went to pick them up. Xie Kai's fans were everywhere in the United States, but in Sacramento, there were a lot of them.

On November 18, Sleep Train Football Hall.

After the Kings ended last season, the head coach was replaced, Keith Smart left, and Mike Malone took over. In fact, most people know that the fundamental reason for this team's poor record is not the head coach, but the fact that this group of people has limited combat effectiveness.

Cousins, the only talented man in this team, is an insane person with a very unstable mood, while other young players, including veterans, have limited potential and ability. With such a team, it is not possible to make a different coach to make the playoffs in the West like a wolf.

Even after leaving for more than three seasons, the Kings still have an old acquaintance of Xie Kai. Jason Thompson is one of them. He is Xie Kai's best friend in the Kings.

The two had dinner together yesterday, said a lot, and recalled every bit of playing basketball with the Kings in the past.

Jason Thompson is already an old man for the Kings. He has been playing for this team since he entered the league in 2007. Of course, a pity that he has not played even once in the playoffs so far.

Vazquez was traded to the Kings this summer, and he also played for the Grizzlies and worked as a teammate with Xie Kai for a season.

In addition to Jason Thompson and Vazquez, veteran Salmons is also the big brother of Xie Kai's time in the Kings.

There were a lot of K Mi on the scene today, and many of them were wearing Xie Kai’s No. 22 Kings jerseys. They were both home and away games, which made Xie Kai feel a little emotional when he saw it when he was practicing. It seemed like time had gone back, back to 5 years ago, and back to his rookie season.

But I can't go back to everything. Xie Kai knew that no matter how good the memories were, they were just memories.

In this game, the starting lineup of the Kings who played at home are: center - DeMarcus Cousins, power forward - Jason Thompson, small forward - Luke Richard Bamott, shooting guard - Ben McCollum, organizational defender - Grevis Watzquez.

The starting lineup of the Grizzlies who played away has remained the same as before.

This game is broadcast live on CCTV5. The person who commented on this game is host Yu Jia and guest Xu Jicheng.

Xie Kai is a Chinese player, so he is naturally supported by Chinese commentators. Yu Jia is the one who supports the most among these CCTV commentaries, and has even been called "K honey in the commentary world" by many fans.

"Teacher Xu, do you think there are many players in the Kings in this game?" Yu Jia asked.

Xu Jicheng smiled: "You mean the Kings are likely to lose?"

Yu Jia smiled a little cunningly: "The strength on paper is indeed as strong as the Grizzlies!"
