Chapter 151 This is just the beginning
40 marks!This is Xie Kai's highest score in a regular season game since he entered the NBA last year!No one expected that he would do in the fourth game of this season what he failed to do in the whole season last season!You must know that since this season, his average playing time and possessions per game are even less than in the second half of last season.
The only explanation is that he has really become stronger!
Xie Kai calmly made an extra free throw, raising his score to 41 points.After his free throw hit the net, the cheers from the fans of the home team almost exploded the arena!Obviously, the team has basically secured the victory of this game.The Grizzlies are not a 7-second offensive team like the Suns back then, and their scoring explosiveness is just that.It is difficult to reverse the 1-point difference in this 5 minute.
For the Grizzlies, coach Hollins used up the last timeout of the game!
Whether it is the players or the coaches of the Grizzlies, their faces are not good.They didn't expect this game to end like this (even if it hasn't been concluded yet), and no one expected that the substitute Xie Kai would explode like this.
When the timeout expires, the game continues.
The Grizzlies serve in the frontcourt.
The morale of the Kings was boosted, and even the defensive end was extremely active and desperate. Hawes, who was poor in defense, even fought hand-to-hand with the little sister-in-law, which shows the strength of the home team.
"If Spencer plays this level of defense throughout the season, Sacramento's interior defense will be upgraded to a level!" Mav Albert said with a smile.
The Grizzlies didn't have a chance inside, and the ball returned to Conley on the outside.
Conley holds the ball and breaks through Mayo on the other side.
Facing Xie Kai, Mayo crossed the ball continuously under the crotch, and started it instantly, trying to shake off the opponent.
Xie Kai's defense is very tough and extremely tight. Mayo does not have top speed and explosive power, and cannot completely shake off the opponent.
There is not much time to attack, Mayo forced his right hand to break through and then stopped to collect the ball, take off, and shoot...
Thanks for the quick response, let the DJ on the scene use "Chinese martial arts" to describe it!
"Crack——" Mayo's jumper was blocked by Xie Kai!
In Mayo's incredible eyes, Evans got the ball!
"Memphis is gone!" Mark Jackson said lightly.
For the Kings, Kevin Martin made the icing on the cake and scored another 2 points, widening the point difference to 7 points, and the game completely lost its suspense.
In the following game, the Grizzlies did not hit a 3-pointer, and the game ended quickly.
In the end, the Kings beat the Grizzlies 118:108 at home by 10 points, ushering in their first victory of the season.
After the Kings defeated the Grizzlies at home, they ended their 3-game losing streak.
The mascot of the Kings, Simon the Lion, held the team flag and ran non-stop along the perimeter of the court, bringing the joy of victory to every fan.For this team, winning a game is not easy, and being able to win the first home game of the season still has some special meaning.
Kings coach Paul Westphal was excited and let out a sigh of relief.He really didn't expect that his first victory with his new club would come so late (all defeats in the preseason).But fortunately, the victory still came, and it was only obtained by going through this ups and downs.
Coach Westphal looked at Xie Kai, who was hugging and greeting his college teammate Darrell Arthur, with complicated eyes.Everyone knows that if this game hadn't been won, the suspense would have been lost, but this Asian player who seemed to have nothing special this season broke out in such a game.
Xie Kai, who contributed 8 3-pointers in this game, was interviewed by reporters on the sidelines.
"Hello Kane, may I ask before the game did you expect that you would explode in this game?" The reporter asked.
"Actually, I didn't expect the 3-pointer to feel so good today! But since my first 3-pointer, I feel very good. It feels like the basket is like the sea!" Xie Kai said with a smile.
"Did you train for 3-point shooting during the offseason?" The reporter continued to ask.
"Yes, I practiced a lot of skills during the offseason, and the 3-point shot is one of the items I focus on practicing." Xie Kai replied.
"You performed so well, do you regret that you didn't get the starter?" The reporter's question became more and more tricky.
"The starting lineup is arranged by the coaching staff. I fully respect their arrangement. I am very grateful to Coach Westphal for letting me play the fourth quarter and overtime. As long as I can help the team win, I will be very happy! "Xie Kai has long been accustomed to this kind of slobbering topic, and he is impeccable in dealing with it.
Grizzlies coach Lionel Hollins said in the press conference after the game: "Kane beat us! I really didn't expect him to hit so many 3-pointers today. Obviously, our teammates defended well. I have worked hard, but who would have thought that his touch would be so good! Congratulations to the Kings, they are the better team, they deserve this victory!"
Today's home team's locker room was quite lively, people who didn't know the inside story thought they had won a round of the series!There are many young people in this team, and the victory makes them feel excited and look forward to the future.
After the game, the official website of the Kings released the best player of the game.There is no doubt that the best player in this game is Xie Kai.Xie Kai played a season-high 32 minutes in this game and made 14 of 12 shots, including 3 three-pointers and 8 free throws. He scored a career-high 9 points in the NBA regular season, plus 41 rebounds 8 With 7 assists, 3 steals and 1 block, and no turnovers, the performance is perfect!
41分是谢开进入联盟来的单场最高得分（之前是30分），8记3分球也刷新了他的单场3分命中记录（之前是4个）。
Not only the official website of the Suns, but also major NBA media, magazines, and TV and radio programs are all talking about Xie Kai.Many people think that although Xie Kai may be lucky, but if the Kings really want to completely rebuild, trading Kevin Martin to support Xie Kai and cultivate the backcourt combination of Xie Kai and Tyreke Evans is a good one. Team building plan.
Xie Kai didn't pay attention to the various views of the outside world talking about him.He himself knows best whether his performance tonight is "eating dumplings during the Chinese New Year" as the domestic fans said.The profuse sweat during the offseason and the tens of thousands of 3-point drills in the awareness training have made him no longer the rookie who didn't adapt to the league when he first entered the league.
"This is just the beginning, I still have a lot of weapons that I haven't revealed yet!" Xie Kai said to himself before going to sleep.
