Chapter 124

After an away win over Mud, the Kings will continue their Eastern Conference road trip.Their last opponent on the Eastern Conference road trip was the Philadelphia 76ers.

Although the Philadelphia 76ers have no superstars, the team has a lot of young talents. It is currently ranked among the top 8 in the East, and the possibility of entering the playoffs is very high.

In this game, the Kings failed to continue the good touch of the game, and lost to the opponent step by step in the away game, and missed the winning streak.

In Xie Kai's memory, it seems that except for the team's winning streak at the beginning of the season, there has been no winning streak since then. The long-term losses have made the players in the team forget what it feels like to win consecutively.

Fortunately, the road trip to the Eastern Conference is over. The exhaustion of the journey has left the Kings players with no time to appreciate the beautiful scenery of the away city. The consecutive losses have made it difficult for them to feel comfortable.

Competitive sports are so cruel, if you are a loser, it is difficult for you to get the thrill of success.

The Kings are back at home, and they will face the Memphis Grizzlies on the 28th of this month.The two teams are brothers and sisters, and they can be regarded as competitors for the No. [-] pick.

The attention of this game is not high, there is no way, the Grizzlies are not the Knicks, neither the fans nor the media want to watch this kind of game between bad teams.

Watching this kind of game, in the words of a fan - "What's so interesting! Do you want to see their acting skills?"

On the night of the 28th, the Kings lost to the Grizzlies by a big score at home, ushering in a two-game losing streak!

Darrell Arthur of the Grizzlies is Xie Kai's teammate in college, and this teammate is currently firmly seated in the starting lineup.But when he compares with Xie Kai, strictly speaking, one is considered a "false starter" and the other is a "false substitute".The starter Arthur averaged less than 20 minutes per game, while the substitute Xie Kai averaged more than 20 minutes per game.

After the game, the hot comments from netizens can be summed up as follows - there is no winner in this game!
Two days later, on the 30th of this month, the Kings continued to play at home against the Suns.

In this game, the Kings performed well offensively and narrowly beat their opponents at home, ending their two-game losing streak.

谢开砍下11分9个篮板9个2个抢断1个盖帽的“准三双”数据。

Even if he performed well and the team won, Xie Kai still had a hard time being happy after all.In a bad team, he felt uncomfortable.On the one hand, although the team didn't make it clear, it is basically going to be bad, and it seems to have made some mistakes if it wins; on the other hand, it doesn't matter if the team loses, but as a competitive player like him, It's really not that easy to take.

In addition, there are not many games left in the regular season. Even if I hope that this terrible season will end soon, but when this day is coming, I will feel nostalgic.Is the first season of my NBA career about to end like this?I can't believe it, but it's the truth.

16 wins and 55 losses, with such a record, I really can only compete for the No. [-] pick, there is no other way to go!This is where the Kings are right now.

On April 4, the Kings played against the New Orleans Hornets at home on April Fool's Day.But this day I don't know if it was a big joke on April Fool's Day. They were led by 1 points at the end of the game, but they were killed by Rasu Butler with 2 points!

No winning streak again!
And the loss of this game seems to have used up the luck of the Kings this season.From the 2nd to the 14th of this month, they lost to the Warriors, Suns, Warriors, Lakers, Rockets, Clippers, Spurs and Nuggets one after another, ushering in a 9-game losing streak.

This is the longest losing streak for the Kings this season. Not only that, they also broke the team's longest losing streak in nearly 10 years.The team is determined to be bad, and the team's strength is really limited. Even if Kevin Martin scored a career-high 4 points on April 2, it still couldn't help the team win a game.

After a 9-game losing streak, the Kings defeated the Timberwolves 97:90 in the closing game of the season, ending all 82 regular season games this season.

In the end, the Kings' record was 17 wins and 65 losses, with a winning percentage of just over 20%, ranking first among the 30 NBA teams.The penultimate record for them, in the future draft lottery, they have the highest chance of winning the No. [-] pick.

Although 2009 is not a super draft year like 1996 and 2003, it is definitely not a draft year. Outstanding young people such as Blake Griffin will participate in the draft.

After coach Kenny Knight took over, the Kings' record was 11 wins and 47 losses, which was not as good as the predecessor Reggie Tois's 6 wins and 18 losses.

Although the Kings had a bad performance in the late All-Star Game, this record is not Kenny Knight's true coaching level, but this cannot prove that he is better than his predecessor Reggie Tois.After all, although the team has traded a lot, there is actually not much difference in paper strength before and after the trade.

After Xie Kai joined the Kings, he never thought that his rookie season would be spent in a bottom-ranked team.But he has no choice. The good thing is that he has at least got a lot of opportunities to perform this season. If he is in a strong championship team, the team is unlikely to give him so many opportunities to exercise.

In the NBA, those teams that don't make the playoffs, the season is basically over, and the players can do what they want to do in the near future.Whether it is going fishing or where to go on vacation, it is everyone's own choice, and the team will not interfere.

Xie Kai's rookie season is over. In the 2008-09 season, he played all 82 games, started 4 games, averaged 22.6 minutes per game, contributed 12.3 points, 6.3 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 1.6 steals, 0.8 blocks and 1 turnover per game. The shooting percentage is 45.3%, the 3-point shooting percentage is 36.9%, and the free throw percentage is 78.5%.

In an interview after the end of the season, Xie Kai said that he will train hard during the offseason, improve himself, and strive for a better performance next season.

There are still 3 years left on his rookie contract, so in theory, even if the team does not implement the team option in the third year and give up himself (very unlikely), at least next season, he still has a fully guaranteed contract.Of course, the possibility of the team trading itself is not ruled out.

However, these are all things for next season... Xie Kai's rookie season is completely over.Without a playoff chance, there is no chance of playing in the NBA in May or even June.

Xie Kai's good friend Russell Westbrook's Thunder team has a record of 23 wins and 59 losses this season, which is not much better than the Kings.It is also the top 5 teams in the league, agreeing to have a good chance of winning the top pick.
