Chapter 102 The First Triple-Double
After the start of the third quarter, the Rockets' starting lineup continued their advantage in the first half and widened the point difference to double digits (3 points) in the middle of the quarter.

But after that, the game fell into anxiety, until Xie Kai played, the score gap between the two sides was still 10 points.

Bobby Jackson dribbles over.Points were given to Salmons on the right.

Facing Tracy McGrady's defense, Salmons didn't get rid of the opponent with the ball, and the back jumper was interfered by the opponent's long arm, so he made a jumper - no!
Xie Kai rushed out like a rabbit and grabbed the long rebound before Diamond!After grabbing the offensive rebound, he didn't stop, and threw the ball with one hand to Bobby Jackson, who was outside the 3-point line at the top of the left wing.

Bobby Jackson's open 3-pointer - there it is!The point difference is 7 points!
Xie Kai's 5th assist!
"The tacit understanding between Kane and Bobby is getting better and better!" Barkley said.

"I think the Rockets traded these two people and the draft pick for Ron from the Sacramento Kings. Now it seems that this deal is really not a robbery!" Bill Worrell sighed.

"Bill, when the trade happened, not many people thought that the Rockets were an equal deal. Unexpectedly, Bobby had a second spring, and Kanexie also showed his immediate combat power as an NCAAMOP." Buckley said.

"So, sometimes you gamble on the present, but you don't expect to send away the immediate combat power, and the potential and rookie contract bonus!" Bill Worrell continued to sigh.

On the Rockets side, Yao Ming was flanked by the basket, and Artest made a mistake on the outside line and was intercepted by Xie Kai!

Xie Kai sprinted forward with the ball directly. Artest couldn't keep up, so he could only use tactical fouls to destroy it!
Xie Kai's 2nd steal!
The Kings serve from the sideline.

Bobby Jackson dribbles over and points to Brad Miller in the high post.

Miller's high-level support was given to Salmons on the left.

Salmons broke through the basket with the help of a screen, but was blocked by the towering Yao Ming, and barely scored the ball.

There was not much time left. Xie Kai, who was catching the ball, faced Artest. After Crossover changed direction, he directly pulled up a jumper... After throwing the ball and falling, he rushed forward, as if he already knew that the ball was not good. will hit!
The ball hit the front and directly bounced back, which made Yao Ming and others under the basket empty-handed!
Xie Kai grabbed the rebound before Artest and McGrady, and then distributed it to the open Salmons.

Salmons hits a jumper!The Kings narrowed the point difference to 3 points!
The Rockets have requested a timeout!

"These are opportunities that Kane spelled out!" Bill Worrell sighed.

"He is really positive enough, I like this Asian kid more and more!" Barkley said with a smile.

"Why do you like him and keep saying he's not good, and bet against him in the media?" Bill Worrell asked.

"I just think his talent is not enough. I didn't expect his willpower and motivation to be so good. Of course, I still won't change my point of view. This is the NBA. If you don't have enough talent, no matter how hard you work, the ceiling is there!" Barkley Said helplessly.

Many Rockets fans at the scene showed anxious expressions on their faces. With the strength of the home team, it shouldn't be so difficult to face such an opponent who has nothing.Seeing Xie Kai's enthusiasm and sense of offensive and defensive presence on the court also hurt their nerves.

This rookie originally belonged to our team!With him on the bench for Tracy McGrady, the weak and lackluster second team would not be what it is now.

Speaking of the team's second team, it is an eternal pain in the hearts of Rockets fans.The team owner Alexander seems to only know how to make money, and he has never thought about building a championship-level team.Facts have proved that the combination of Yao and Mai is not enough, they need helpers.But good immediate players are not cheap. In order not to pay the luxury tax, he would rather find some scraps than give those champion puzzles a satisfactory contract.

Originally expected that the arrival of Artest could perfectly replicate the successful experience of the Big Three of the Celtics. Who knows that the ideal is plump, but the reality is skinny. A qualitative change occurs.

If this game overturns at home, the Rockets will really lose face...

Fortunately, the Rockets have Yao Mai!
After a timeout, Yao Ming and McGrady played together. After a few rounds, the point difference was widened to 8 points!
When the Kings were about to score, Salmons, the team's current scoring leader, was targeted by the opponent, and lost the arrogance that he used to score [-]-[-] points at every turn.And Brad Miller and rookie Jason Thompson and others, in the inside line guarded by Yao Ming, can't get any good fruit at all.

No matter how active Xie Kai is, he doesn't have much offensive possession.Coupled with the key care of the former DOPY Artest, the chances are even less.Fortunately, even if he has no chance to score, he can still contribute a lot on the defensive end and the offense of connecting teams.

The Rockets have an advantage on the court, but they still can't eat their opponents in one go.The Kings are tenacious, like a cockroach that can't be killed.

In the end, the Kings still lost to the Rockets on the road, ushering in a two-game losing streak.

The Rockets ushered in two consecutive victories, but this kind of game process is not what they want to see.As a team aspiring to win the championship, it is not so glorious to play to the end with a rebuilding team without a core.

谢开本场比赛出战了24分钟，7投2中，其中3分球3投0中，罚球8罚6中，得到10分10个篮板10个助攻3个抢断2个盖帽的“三双”！
This is Xie Kai's first triple-double in his NBA regular season career. His "triple-double" is economical enough, but it is still a triple-double.You know, in the NBA, there are many players who will never have a chance to get a triple-double in their lifetime. It can be seen that a triple-double is not so easy to get.

After the match, Xie Kai shook hands with Yao Ming and said with a smile, "Congratulations, Brother Ming, you have won!"

Yao Ming said with a smile: "You got a triple-double, and Artest is still depressed. It's really you!"

Xie Kai was interviewed by an ESPN reporter in the locker room. He said in the interview: "A triple-double is a rare statistic for a rookie like me. But we lost, so the significance of a triple-double is not that great anymore. If I had a choice between a triple-double and a win, I would definitely choose the win. I really hate losing!"

Xie Kai is not lying, he really hates losing, the kings lost so many games after the start, he played every game, he has been through it all, this feeling of frustration makes him not want to go again and again experience.
