Chapter 159
The Jazz fans in the stands are all very nervous, and they have a thought in their minds: "We won't lose to the bad team of the Kings, will we?"

But the reality is that they are indeed very likely to lose to this bad team with the lowest record in the league.

When the timeout expires, the game continues.

The Jazz served in the frontcourt, and the Kings defended the serve very tightly.

The Jazz have rich experience, and the ball was successfully delivered.

The ball is in Deron's hands. At the critical moment of the game, the ball is usually in his hands.

Deron faced Tyreke Evans, and Boozer made a pick-and-roll.

The Kings chose to pinch the ball holder. Obviously, they would rather let Boozer have a chance to open than give Deron a chance to overtake with 3 points!
"Sacramento is planning to defend 3 points and put 2 points!" Kevin Harlan said.

Reggie Miller said: "Their strategy seems a bit conservative, but in this way, theoretically, even if they are scored 2 points by their opponents, they still have enough time to organize a lore attack in regular time!"

Deron passed the ball to Boozer, and Xie Kailun turned around and cut the ball away!
But the ball went to Ronnie Brewer, who was open to the left of the free throw line!

Brewer didn't feel good in this game, he hesitated for a while, and rushed inside with the ball!
Brewer forced a layup, he passed Hawes, but Xie Kai, who was driven over by Xie Kai, nailed the board!

"Kane's hot pot!" Kevin Harlan exclaimed!
Hawes at the basket got the ball, and the Jazz players quickly rushed to him. He cleverly threw the ball to Xie Kai who was next to him.

The Jazz adopted foul tactics and sent Xie Kai to the free throw line.At this time, the end of the game, only 16.2 seconds left, the home team is still 2 points behind.

"Kane's defense this round is really outstanding!" Kevin Harlan sighed.

"Indeed, the rotation was in place this time. He almost completed the steal and even blocked a shot when Ronnie made a layup! From single defense to assist defense, the awareness and defensive sense are very good!" Reggie Miller also admired.

"Now Utah can only rely on Kane missing two free throws or making one of two free throws. If they make two free throws, it will be too difficult for them to get the game back!" Kevin Harlan said.

Xie Kai stood on the free throw line amidst the interference from the fans at the scene. He let out a long breath and made a steady free throw!
There was a hint of despair in the eyes of the Jazz fans on the scene and the Jazz players on the bench.

Thank you for making two free throws!The Jazz used up their final timeout of the game.

"Falling behind by 4 points and there is no timeout, Utah must bet on 3 points if it wants to win or tie the game!" Reggie Miller said.

"Desperate!" Kevin Harlan laughed.

Almost all Jazz fans at the scene stood up, and they expected a miracle to happen!
The game goes on!

The Kings defense line serve!

The ball was finally served, although it was almost a 5-second violation!
Deron catches the ball, and the defense against him becomes Xie Kai!

Deron sprinted with the ball, got near the 3-point line, and made a direct pull-the 3-pointer hit the basket directly on the neck, and got stuck...

Such a dramatic scene unexpectedly surprised everyone present.

"What... what's going on?" Kevin Harlan looked at Reggie Miller suspiciously.

Reggie Miller tilted his head and shrugged, saying that he couldn't guess this was the case.

According to the regulations, this ball is going to be a jump ball!

For the Kings, this result is completely acceptable!
The result of the jump ball is the Kings possession!
The Jazz fouled again, the game has basically been explained...

"The game is basically settled!" Kevin Harlan said.

Reggie Miller nodded and said: "It's basically the same if you miss a 3-pointer. Utah has no timeout, and the game time is not enough!"

In the end, the Jazz still failed to create a miracle. They lost to the Kings at home and ushered in a two-game losing streak.

谢开本场比赛上场了NBA常规赛职业生涯新高的37分钟(之前最高是36分钟),20投12中,其中3分球6投3中,罚球7罚6中,得到33分8个篮板8个助攻3个抢断2个盖帽,且只出现了1次失误,表现非常出色。

泰瑞克埃文斯本场比赛表现也很出色,拿到25分10个助攻5个篮板1个抢断,他在罚球线上是14投12中的表现。

"Reggie, the two young men in Sacramento's backcourt today scored 58 points, 13 rebounds and 18 assists together! It's terrifying!" Kevin Harlan said.

"I didn't expect these two young people to have such a performance in the absence of Kevin Martin. It is indeed rare." Reggie Miller nodded and said.

After the game, Xie Kai, coach Paul Westphal and teammate Tyreke Evans attended the press conference.

During the press conference, a reporter asked Xie Kai: "Kane, may I ask if Kevin Martin was unable to play in this game due to injury, did it become the reason for your outbreak?"

"Yes, I have to admit that Kevin's unfortunate injury gave me more opportunities. But maybe you don't know the inside story. I performed very poorly in the first quarter. At that time, the person who encouraged me off the court and gave me ideas was just It's Kevin. Without Kevin's sideline guidance, there would be no explosion behind me!" Xie Kai said truthfully.

Xie Kai's high EQ and honest answer drew applause from the audience.

After the game, the news about Xie Kai and the Kings occupied a lot of space on the NBA pages of major sports media. Many people were discussing whether Xie Kai could replace Kevin Martin and become the "answer" of the team's No. 2 position.There are still many people discussing that the combination of Xie Kai + Evans has become a new group of powerful "double guns in the backcourt" in the league.

Xie Kai's answer at the press conference made many people who hate him find no reason to hate him. Obviously, this is a young man who is hardworking and humble. For a player who is greedy for shots and takes the lead on the defensive end, it is difficult to find a reason to black him for the time being.

The Kings' record improved to 2 wins and 4 losses, finally temporarily getting rid of the second-to-last position in the league.Although in the absence of lineup changes, their strength can only be improved through internal excavation, but this team still gives people hope, especially the backcourt duo of Xie Kai and Evans .

The Kings beat the Jazz on the road, and their next game is back-to-back home games against the Golden State Warriors.

The Warriors currently have 1 win and 3 losses, ranking first in the West and one of the worst.

Although it is back-to-back, this is a good chance for a winning streak for the current morale-boosting Kings.
