The situation is much worse for the Kings. The team does not have any of the top five talents in the first round. The ones with the greatest potential currently are Jason Thompson, the 12th pick in the first round this year, and Hawes, the 10th pick in the first round last year.

And this year's NCAA's O Xie Kai, the 28th pick in the first round this year.

Therefore, it is not a matter of not knowing the goods but being afraid of comparisons. The talent and potential of the two teams are not at the same level at all. Of course, there is not much difference in terms of combat power.

——It takes time to realize talents!

November 6th, Sleep Train Arena, home of the Kings.

As the team’s first home game of the regular season this season, the attendance at the arena is okay, but far from full. There is no way, this team does not have a superstar with box office appeal, and its record is poor. If this season

The attendance rate at home can be maintained at this level, and the team management will probably wake up laughing when they fall asleep.

Many Kings fans feel that no matter how bad the team's away record is, at home, this team has not lost this season and they hope to see the team win at home.

During shooting practice before the game, Xie Kai and Arthur hugged each other sweetly. When old teammates met, they couldn't help but joke with each other. Coincidentally, one was the 27th pick in the first round and the other was the 28th pick in the first round, and then they exchanged ideas.

Changed owners. However, Xie Kai was later traded again.

"Darrell, you and Mario are both in the starting lineup, it's really enviable!" Xie Kai smiled and lightly punched Arthur in the chest.

Arthur smiled and said: "Thank you, Mr. Don't forget, even though you got O, you must know that in Kansas, Mario and I are the starters!"

"Not to mention, you were really starting at the time. Thinking about it, it's not surprising at all that you two are starting in your respective teams now," Xie Kai said.

"That's, alas... It's a pity that Russell is also our starter, but he can't get a contract in the NBA!" Arthur said, feeling a little sorry for his old teammate.

Xie Kai knew that the "Russell" Arthur was talking about was Kansas' senior brother Russell Robinson. They had played together in the summer league for the Rockets in the summer, but after the summer league ended, he was not able to stay.

Xie Kai is looking forward to this game. He is already ready. As long as he has the chance to play, he must work hard to help the team win the game and end the 4-game losing streak.

In addition to wanting to win, he also wanted to find a chance to compete against Mayo, who is known as the "ncaa's strongest No. 2" in the opponent's lineup.

The commentators for this game are Kenny Smith and Reggie Miller.

"Reggie, when Sacramento returns home, how likely do you think they are to end their losing streak in this game?" Kenny Smith asked.

"I think the possibility is still very high. Memphis is also a young team. There is a big gap in home and away performance this season. Their performance on the road is far inferior to that at home. If Sacramento can perform stably, they will win.

The probability will be great!" Reggie Miller said.

In this game, the starting lineup of the Kings at home is: Center - Spencer Hawes, Power Forward - Mitch Moore, Small Forward - John Salmons, Shooting Guard - Kevin Martin, Point Guard

——Benno Udri.

The starting lineup of the Grizzlies in the away game is: Center - Marc Gasol, Power Forward - Darrell Arthur, Small Forward - Rudy Gay, Shooting Guard - OJ Mayo, Point Guard -

Mike Conley.

The Grizzlies' starting lineup is all young people, and the oldest, Marc Gasol, is not yet 24 years old.

At the beginning of the first quarter, the two teams played very fiercely, and everyone wanted to win the game. However, in the first half of the first quarter, although the fighting was very fierce, with back and forth, the shooting percentage of both teams was not very high.

The Grizzlies' No. 3 pick, Mayo, faced off against the Kings' core Kevin Martin, and the two started a fierce confrontation.

Xie Kai cheered for his teammates on the bench. Even if he didn't play, he still wanted to pass on his belief in winning to his teammates.

Kevin Martin played for a long time in the first quarter, and it wasn't until 1 minute and 20 seconds left in the first quarter that Xie Kai's name was called by head coach Reggie Tois.

Xie Kai has been waiting for a long time, and finally waited for him to play.

At this time, the score on the court was 19:17, with the Kings playing at home leading by 2 points.

Bobby Jackson dribbled the ball over and, under Lowry's pressure, successfully moved it into the frontcourt.

Bobby Brown came out to catch the ball, held the ball with the help of a screen, broke through, and passed it to Xie Kai in the right corner.

Xie Kai caught the ball and once again broke through to Bobby Jackson at the top of the arc. The latter also broke through and then scored from Xie Kai, who had already reached near the baseline on the left wing.

Xie Kai catches the ball and takes a jump shot - there it is!

At 21:17, the Kings extended their lead to 4 points.

"Kainshe has been trained in several games, and his shots are much more decisive now than before!" Kenny Smith said.

"Rookies need trust, and coach Reggie Tois still trusts Kane in this regard," Reggie Miller said.

On the Grizzlies' side, Lowry broke through and tried to pass an alley-oop to "Helicopter" Varrick under the basket, but he overplayed the ball and passed the ball directly to the backboard.

Xie Kaifei collected the rebound and distributed it to Bobby Jackson for counterattack.

The Kings' 3rd line fast break, Bobby Jackson advanced in the middle and Xie Kai opened the score in the frontcourt.

Xie Kai took the ball and took two steps, attracting Bobby Brown on the other side of the defensive back.

Bobby Brown caught the ball and shot a 3-pointer - there it was!

The Kings rewritten the score to 24:17, extending the lead to 7 points! In less than 1 minute, they played a 5:0 wave.

"Sacramento's second lineup is very offensive. Kane and his team currently seem to be playing more decisively and efficiently than Kyrie and his team," said Kenny Smith.

"The victory of the home team is stronger than Yu Wang! Look at the expressions of the Kings players, they all have an attitude of fighting to the end!" Reggie Miller said.

"Isn't it? This is not playing in the regular season, it's like playing in the tiebreaker of the playoffs!" Kenny Smith laughed.

Grizzlies coach Mark Jafaroni wanted to call a timeout to interrupt the opponent's momentum, but when he saw that there was not much game time left, he thought about it and gave up the timeout plan.

At this time, there are 31 seconds left before the end of the first quarter.

Lowry slowly dribbled the ball over and consumed time at the top of the arc.

When there were 10 seconds left in the attack time, he started, using his speed, to force past veteran guard Bobby Jackson, causing the opponent to foul.

Since the foul count had expired, Lowry stepped to the free throw line.

Lowry made two free throws, and the point difference between the two sides was narrowed to 5 points left.
Chapter completed!
