Chapter 204 The price of growth

Xie Kai felt very uncomfortable, the feeling of being lore was too uncomfortable. It stands to reason that they had a chance to beat their opponents in regular time in this game, but they didn't expect it to end like this.

The team was not killed by Kobe, but lost offensive rebounds and was killed by everyone's wife.

It's not that only Kobe can hit the lore for the Lakers, and it doesn't matter who hits the lore when they lose.

Xie Kai is very frustrated, but he understands that he still needs to do too much on the road of growth.If you can be stronger, the team may not need to play so tired with the opponent.You must know that the opponent did not play well in this game, but his teammate Hawes and others played well enough.

Kobe found Xie Kai, and he took the initiative to shake hands and hug Xie Kai.

While embracing, Kobe said in Xie Kai's ear: "You performed very well, and if you want to become stronger, you need to keep training and honing your skills!"

Xie Kai nodded, he was very grateful to Kobe for encouraging him: "Thank you for your suggestion, Kobe!"

"Director Zhang's game is over, and Kobe is whispering to Xie Kai!" Sun Zhengping said.

Director Zhang said: "Kobe is encouraging this young man, Xie Kai! Kobe is too good, and he doesn't forget to support his juniors. To be admired by Kobe, Xie Kai, as a young man, can be proud of it!"

Chen Guixiang and others quickly got down from the stands, and found Xie Kai.

When Xie Kai saw his mother, tears filled his eyes: "Mom, I lost!"

Chen Guixiang also cried: "You didn't lose, Ah Kai, you performed well, mom is proud of you!"

There were quite a few Chinese and overseas Chinese who came to support Xie Kai, and many of them came from the surrounding cities on a special trip. For a while, a group of yellow-skinned and black-haired people surrounded the Staples Center.

Xie Kai took a group photo with everyone, signed autographs for his fans, took off his jersey and sneakers, and gave them to a Chinese boy.

It's a pity that we didn't win the competition, but the enthusiasm of our compatriots made Xie Kai feel much better.

It is impossible to grow without failure. How to make failure a driving force for growth requires you to work harder in the future.

In this game, Kobe Bryant, the core of the Lakers, scored 32 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists, and his performance is still very good.

谢开则是砍下19分11个篮板12次助攻4个抢断2个盖帽的全面表现。12个助攻是他NBA常规赛职业生涯的新高（之前最高记录是11个），这次三双也是他职业生涯第5次三双。

After the game, Xie Kai applied ice in the visiting team's locker room, and a group of reporters flooded into the locker room, which made the not-so-spacious locker room look a bit crowded.

Los Angeles, as the largest entertainment city in the United States, and the Lakers, as the historical giants of the NBA, have attracted a large number of reporters to interview.

Xie Kai was interviewed by reporters. When the reporter asked him how he felt about getting a triple-double in this game, he said: "I didn't pay attention to these. We lost and were lore. That made my triple-double become It's pointless. I gave everything in this game, but the offensive efficiency is not good, and I am responsible for the team's loss!"

After losing the game against the Lakers, the Kings' record came to 14 wins and 18 losses, which is another step away from the 5% winning percentage.The loss of this game is also their first loss after New Year's Day in 2010.

A day later, the Kings played back-to-back away games against the Dallas Mavericks, No. 3 in the West.

Tyreke Evans, who missed many games in this game, returned.

This game, although they played tenaciously, dragged the game into the final period of the final period.

But the ending still disappointed the Kings. They finally lost to their opponents and regrettably lost to the Mavericks, ushering in a two-game losing streak since 2010!
谢开依然势不可挡，拿下25+3+4+2+1，可是靠他一人无法帮助实力有限且有疲惫的球队获胜。

Evans was not in good shape because he missed a few games. He only made 18 of 6 shots and was eaten to death by the old guard Jason Kidd.

On January 1, the Kings returned home to face the fifth-ranked Phoenix Suns in the Western Conference.

Although both Xie Kai and Evans played very well, the gap in overall strength made them still suffer at home and ushered in a 3-game losing streak.

This is not over, 3 days later, they were a guest at the Oracle Center in Oakland, facing the Golden State Warriors with a worse record than them.

Unexpectedly, in this game, the Kings regretted losing to their opponents and ushered in a 4-game losing streak.

In this way, since 2010, the Kings have not won.Originally, it was hoped to get a 50% winning rate, so as to compete for tickets to the playoffs. After a week, the team's record quickly became 14 wins and 21 losses, ranking outside the top 10 in the Western Conference.This does not mean "returning to the pre-liberation overnight", it is not much different.

A day later, the Kings returned home to face the Nuggets.In this game, they finally gained a warm feeling and narrowly beat their opponents at home, ending their 2010-game losing streak since 4.

But the good times didn't last long. On January 1, the Kings played against the powerful Orlando Magic at home.

In the end, the stronger Magic team easily defeated each other away.

After losing this game at home, the Kings also ushered in good news. The team's head star Kevin Martin has basically recovered from his injury. After participating in several full-court confrontation training, he has been approved by the team doctor to join the team official game.

The Kings will usher in a wave of 6 consecutive away in the East in the following schedule, and the first game of Kevin Martin's comeback will be scheduled to challenge the Philadelphia 3ers in the first game of 6 consecutive away in 76 days.

Kevin Martin is back. For the Kings, it is naturally a good thing for the Kings to have an extra star on the offensive end.But the underlying question is, what's his status?
As for Kevin Martin's comeback, the biggest impact is Xie Kai, who played the starting No. 20 position in the previous 2 games.

Xie Kai performed very well in these starting games, and his average data per game is not inferior to those starting No. 2 positions in the league, and even better than the starting No. 2 positions of many non-strong teams.

And Kevin Martin injured his left wrist on November 11 and has been sidelined since then.In the five games before his injury, he averaged 6 points per game, the highest scoring player on the team.

The problem is, for the Kings, Martin isn't the answer (proved) to revival.He exists more as a chip, and it's no secret that teams have him on the shelf.But it seems unreasonable not to let him start. After all, he was the nominal boss of the team before the injury, and the team also needs to let him play good numbers to sell for a good price.
