Xie Kai played 22 minutes and scored 7 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and 1 block on 3-of-7 shooting.

Not much more than a substitute. But he still felt that if he was given a choice, he would choose to start without hesitation.

On the second day, the Kings returned home and faced the Dallas Mavericks back-to-back.

The core of the Kings, Kevin Martin, continues to be absent. In this game, Xie Kai got his fourth starting opportunity this season!

In this game, the Kings, who were playing at home, were in a lagging position from the beginning of the game. They were unable to come back until the end of the game.

In the end, the Kings had no choice but to face their longest losing streak of six games in the season, with no chance of winning in the entire game.

The fans of the home team who came to watch the game were also helpless. They felt the pain of being unable to win no matter how hard they tried. The team did not seem to be passively preparing for the game, so this situation made people even more desperate.

Xie Kai's performance was quite satisfactory, scoring 10 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 steal.

In this way, the Kings' games in November are all over. They suffered a losing streak at the beginning and end of the month. Currently, with a record of 5 wins and 14 losses, they firmly occupy the top two positions in the Western Conference together with the Clippers.

The Kings have a poor record, and there are also media who are trying to make things worse. However, those media predicted before the season that they would be at the bottom of the Western Conference, and their current record seems to be considered "normal performance."

The Kings' next game will be at home on December 3 against the Utah Jazz, who were beaten by a bloodbath before, so they have two days to train and rest.

The team's record was terrible, so Xie Kai had no choice but to release all his helplessness and depression on the training ground. [≤八【≤八【≤Read【≤书,▽o√

No. 1. After finishing the team's regular training session, Xie Kai stayed in the training hall to practice shooting. Although his shooting percentage has been okay so far this season, as one of the team's pitchers, he is very confident about himself.

He is still a little dissatisfied with his outside shooting. He feels that he cannot set "okay" as his goal. He must set "great player" as his goal, and cannot allow the shooting he was once proud of to become a mediocre skill.

.

Xie Kai's efforts are among the best in the team. At this time, he is the only one left training in the gym. He is also used to training by himself. You must know that in awareness training, he has always been alone.

He firmly believes that only men who can endure loneliness and endure loneliness will have a real chance of success.

"Train alone, I'll accompany you!" A familiar voice came from behind Xie Kai.

Xie Kai knew this voice was his teammate Quincy Dolby.

Xie Kai turned his head and passed the ball in his hand - Dolby caught the ball with one hand, then held the ball and walked slowly, and finally walked to a place more than one meter away from Xie Kai.

"Kane, to be honest, I really envy you!" Dolby said with a smile, but his smile was a little unfriendly.

Xie Kai heard the unkindness in his words and asked calmly: "What do you envy me for?"

Dolby continued with this somewhat unfriendly smile: "I envy you that just because of your desperate defense and your ability to pick up mistakes when attacking, you actually entered the rotation and even started the starting lineup! It's really enviable——

"He deliberately dragged out the word "Ah" to mock Xie Kai.

Xie Kai smiled slightly: "If you are not satisfied with your playing time, go and talk to the coaching staff! What's the use of telling me?"

"Of course I will tell you, you don't need to teach me! I'm talking about a rookie, do you dare to compete with me?" Dolby's eyes became a little cold, and his brows frowned slightly.

"Compared to what?"

"Are you coming for a duel?" Dolby trusted his ability in a duel. He didn't think that Xie Kai, a yellow man who only knew how to attack without the ball, could defeat him in a one-on-one situation.

"Okay!" Xie Kai agreed without hesitation.

Dolby was surprised why Xie Kaihui agreed so readily. Could it be that he really thought that he would be able to defeat himself in a one-on-one situation once he started?

But since the other party has agreed, as the party that initiated the challenge, you can't back down, right? Dolby quickly adjusted his emotions, passed the ball to Xie Kai, and said: "How about starting now?"

"no problem!"

Xie Kai did not expect that Dolby would challenge him for a duel today. He knew that because of his arrival, the opponent would have no chance to play. For a player who hopes to get a contract extension after the end of his rookie contract, he

His wish failed. So he couldn't go to the team management yao shuo fa and could only express his anger at Xie Kai who he thought had robbed him of his rotation opportunity.

Xie Kai knew that Dolby didn't have a good impression of him, and he wasn't stupid either. His arrival had unintentionally moved the opponent's hand. But he was also traded, and he didn't deliberately steal the opponent's rotation opportunity. But in this world

That's it. In the NBA, even for a weak team, there are usually no more than 10 players who can get stable playing time. If someone has playing time, the playing time of others in the same position will be correspondingly reduced. After all, resources will eventually

is limited.

Players in the Kings rarely duel with each other. Part of the reason is because the team leader Kevin Martin is not a player who is good at dueling. So in this case, if another player defeats him in a duel,

So as the boss of the team, where do you put your face?

Quincy Dolby is 1.9cm tall and weighs just over 80kg. He was selected by the Kings in the 2006 draft. In the two seasons with the Kings, he never averaged more than 40% of his field goals per game in one season and never had a 3-point field goal percentage.

More than 35. He has pretty good offensive ability, but his performance on the off-ball side is mediocre and his efficiency is low, which prevents the team from allowing him to take on a lot of offensive responsibilities. His passing vision and organizational skills are mediocre, which makes him unable to serve for a long time.

The team's No. 1 position. If he could play the No. 2 position, his size would be too disadvantageous on the defensive end, so he basically missed the rotation after Xie Kai's arrival.

Even if Kevin Martin is injured and misses so many games, the Kings coaching staff would rather let Salmons or Bobby Brown play the 2 position than let Dolby enter the normal rotation.

For the Kings, Dolby is already a player with little training value. Not only does he have no training value, he also does not have much trading value. You must know the current league, such a "half-baked" combo position in the backcourt without any skills is

There isn't much market to speak of.

Xie Kai can understand Dolby's mood. The reason why he agreed to the opponent's request is because he is also very confident in his duel. He is not afraid of challenges. If he rejects the opponent's request for a duel today, then he will fight in the future.

As the name goes, this matter will always be a knot in my heart.
