After returning from the timeout, Xie Kai committed a foul in defense. He had no choice but to be replaced again by coach Reggie Tois!

"Kane must be feeling very bitter, right?" Craig Sager said with a wry smile. 5∞八5∞八5∞Read 5∞书,←o≈

Mark Jackson sighed and said: "Kane still needs to learn to adjust his emotions in time when facing this kind of thing. Rookies want to grow, face various difficulties and then solve them. This is the right way to grow.

Method. Even if it cannot be solved, you can still get exercise, which is another form of growth."

Because he was a substitute, Xie Kai was not on the court with Yi Jianlian for a minute in the first half, which made him feel a little regretful. Although the two did not play in the same position, he was still looking forward to playing against this compatriot on the court.

In the first half of the game, the Kings tied the score, and the two sides ended the second quarter with a score of 52:52.

In the second half of the game, the two teams played very anxiously. Xie Kai performed well, but before the end of the third quarter, he had already committed 5 fouls.

In this game, Xie Kai ended up leaving the field with 6 fouls, but he felt that he did not shrink from the field because of worries about fouls.

The two teams could not decide the winner in regular time and eventually entered overtime.

In overtime, the Nets' Kenyon Dulin performed well, helping the team narrowly defeat the opponent on the road and give the opponent a 4-game losing streak.

Yi Jianlian made 4 of 10 shots and scored 8 points and 2 rebounds.

Xie Kai left the game with 6 fouls for the first time in this game. In the 21 minutes of playing time, he made 4 of 6 shots, including 1 of 2 3-pointers, and 1 of 2 free throws. He scored 10 points, 7 rebounds, 7 assists, and 2 steals.

2 blocks and 1 turnover, very good performance. ∷八∷八∷Reading, 2∞3o≠

After the game, Xie Kai and Yi Jianlian cherished each other and chatted together for a long time.

The team lost four games in a row. Xie Kaixin was not happy, but his mentality was much better than when he lost in a row. He no longer tried to get into trouble, and he knew that sometimes he won the game without relying on enthusiasm.

Victory. The strength of the team is there, and you cannot selectively ignore it. This is the NBA, not a lottery center. You can win big prizes by relying on luck.

After the game, the Kings coach said in an interview with reporters at the press conference: "It is a pity to lose this game. The team will make some lineup adjustments and attempts in the next games, hoping to get rid of the current situation.

Terrible performance.”

The Kings' current record is 5 wins and 12 losses. As the team's head coach, Reggie Tois is also under a lot of pressure. In the NBA, there are many examples of coaches being fired because of the team's poor record.

This team's record last season was 38 wins and 44 losses. Although they did not make the playoffs, they were not that far behind. Now, if this record continues, there will be no hope of qualifying for the playoffs. Very soon.

Maybe he went straight to the No. 1 pick.

Of course, the Kings' lineup is there. Even if all members of the team are healthy, the team's combat effectiveness is at the bottom of the league. But even if the team's strength is poor, it is a well-known thing. If your record is rubbish, you will always have to find a scapegoat. And the head coach

, is the most likely candidate to be the scapegoat.

The most criticized thing about Reggie Tois is his weird starting lineup of 3 inside players. Regarding this, even though he has explained it many times, it is still difficult to convince the public. In the NBA, performance has always spoken. If you play with 3 inside players,

So what if you have a winning streak and go against the trend of the times? You may even get the reputation of "Master Tactics"!

The Kings' next opponent will be the Utah Jazz. The Jazz's plateau home court in Salt Lake City is the famous "devil's home court" in the NBA. Now the Kings want to go there to end their 4-game losing streak. The difficulty index is so high that it's shocking.

Unimaginable.

The Kings took a plane to Salt Lake City and concluded their routine training at the Jazz's training facility.

After Xie Kai took a shower, he stood and wiped his body. Bobby Jackson next to him looked at his naked body and said: "Kane, I noticed that you are stronger now than when you were in Houston. It seems that you have spent time in fitness.

!”

Of course Xie Kai couldn't tell Bobby Jackson that he had this treasure called "consciousness training". He could only nod his head and admit: "I'm too thin, so I want to gain some muscle!"

Bobby Jackson nodded in agreement and said: "You have a good idea. In the NBA, strength is very important! You really need to add at least 10 pounds of muscle, which will benefit you on both offense and defense."

"Well, that's what I thought too."

"Are you in a bad mood? Are you still sad about the losing streak?" Bobby Jackson asked.

Xie Kai nodded, then shook his head: "Bobby, thank you for your enlightenment. I don't get into trouble now. But I will still be unhappy if I lose continuously."

"Alas - who in basketball likes to lose! But sometimes, it is helpless. Almost half of the 30 NBA teams will miss the playoffs, and among the teams that miss the playoffs,

Almost half of the final wins will be less than 30 games. So it is inevitable that there will be a losing streak. You are still young and have not experienced that kind of ten-game losing streak. At that time, it really makes a person competitive.

The conscious players are completely desperate!" Bobby Jackson said, "Kane, adjust your mentality. When you can't influence the victory or defeat of the team, all you can do is adjust your mentality. Otherwise, no one can help you.

!”

Bobby Jackson's words can always serve as a guiding light for Xie Kai when he is a little confused. He feels that he is really lucky. In such a difficult time, he has such a big brother to give him guidance.

Own.

On November 29, the Kings visited Salt Lake City to challenge the Jazz away from home.

There is an obvious gap in strength between the two teams. The Kings' core Kevin Martin will continue to be absent. In addition, the Devils' home court in Salt Lake City is well-known, so this game has not started yet. Whether it is the media's pre-match predictions or the fans' victory,

Negative predictions, even those from the betting industry, are overwhelmingly in favor of the home team.

In this game, Kings coach Reggie Tois made adjustments to the lineup as he said in the press conference after the last game. They had lost 4 consecutive games and did not use 3 inside players to start this game.

Rookie Jason Thompson, who performed poorly, was removed from the starting lineup, and Xie Kai became the starting No. 2 position, and the lineup returned to normal.

This is Xie Kai's third start this season, which makes him very excited and wants to help the team end their losing streak on the road.

In this game, from the beginning of the first quarter until the end of the half, the Kings played extremely well, not at all like a bad team that had lost four consecutive games.

The two teams were tied at 52 at halftime!

But the situation suddenly changed in the third quarter. The Kings lost to their opponents by 27 points in this quarter, and the game completely entered garbage time.
Chapter completed!
