Chapter 208 All-Star Weekend + Chinese New Year
The next day, the Kings returned home to face the Charlotte Bobcats.In this game, they still lost to their opponents and ushered in a two-game losing streak!
After the game, the Kings' record came to 16 wins and 30 losses, which is very far away from a 50% winning rate, but it is another step closer to the league's vice squad leader.

Kevin Martin still performed well, and he found his touch on the offensive end.But for the Kings, his outstanding performance could not help the team win, which made the team more determined to send him away.

And Martin's recovery also makes the team excited, because his market will rise.

The Kings used a wave of two-game losing streak to end all their games in January. They only won 1 games in 15 games this month... They abruptly changed themselves from a team competing for playoff tickets to a A team in contention for the No. 2 pick...

Fortunately, the trade deadline is getting closer and closer. If Kevin Martin's offer is reasonable, they can sell him, and then let Xie Kai and Evans exercise quickly. .

On February 2, the Kings went to the Denver Plateau to challenge the Nuggets away.In this game, they played very well, but in the end they still lost their opponents and ushered in a 2-game losing streak.

Two days later, the Kings narrowly lost at home to the powerful San Antonio Spurs, ushering in a 4-game losing streak.

This is not over yet, two days later, they continued to lose at home, lost to the Phoenix Suns, and ushered in a 5-game losing streak...

Consecutive losses have made this young team look demoralized, and everyone is playing on the court without knowing why.Sometimes you want to win, but you find that you are not strong enough, and you lack blood. Everyone has almost forgotten what it feels like to win.

The tragedy continued. On February 2, the Kings visited the Air Canada Center Arena in Toronto, Canada, and challenged the Raptors away.

In this game, the Raptors star "Dragon King" Chris Bosh showed his power, scoring 36 points, 11 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 block.

The Kings were also defeated by the opponent, ushering in a 6-game losing streak!

Bosh is also one of the main targets of the Kings during the summer offseason. Seeing him do whatever he wants in the interior, the team management is really getting more and more greedy.

Two days later, the Kings were a guest at Madison Square Garden in New York, playing away against the Knicks.

This game can be regarded as a duel between a pair of difficult brothers.In this game, the game was extremely anxious, the two sides took the lead alternately many times, and the game finally reached a critical moment.

In the end, the Kings narrowly beat the Knicks away with more stable free throws, ending their 6-game losing streak!

A day later, the Kings played back-to-back away games against the Detroit Pistons, one of the biggest players in the East.They continued to perform well in this game, narrowly beating their opponents away, and ushered in a long-lost two-game winning streak.

So far, the Kings have played all the games before the All-Star Game.With a record of 18 wins and 34 losses, they ranked third from the bottom in the Western Conference, one of the best in the league.

The management of the Kings is not afraid of losing, they know exactly what the team's goal is.The current management is very busy, they are listening to other teams about the offer of Kevin Martin.

Kevin Martin has been determined not to be in the team's long-term plan since the end of last season. The emergence of Xie Kai this season has made the team's idea of ​​​​trading him even stronger.But they don't really want to give away the quasi-All-Star shooting guard who is in his prime.

But those teams who want to get Kevin Martin are not stupid, and they are not willing to trade their important future assets for a weak team's scorer.Martin's contract is not small. To eat his contract, many teams without salary space cannot do this.And those teams with ample space are mostly rebuilding teams.What do they want such a player for?Rebuilding a team requires superstars or high-ranked draft picks, but don't want such space-eating non-superstars to hinder the growth of young people in the team, and also affect the team's ability to catch big fish in the free market.

As for how to trade, this is a matter for the management, Xie Kai doesn't care about it, and doesn't think about it.In his opinion, Kevin Martin's days in the Kings should be numbered. It can be seen from the fact that the team frantically let him score points during this period. This is to let potential buyers see the goods!

Xie Kai, of course, hopes that Martin can leave. Although he and Martin have a good relationship in private, Martin's existence really makes him have fewer opportunities to exercise.Moreover, Martin was unable to lead the team to win, which was the most uncomfortable thing for a man with such a strong competitive spirit.

The All-Star Weekend is coming soon, and Xie Kai also needs to clean up his mood and happily participate in the first NBA All-Star Weekend in his career.

It is a pity that this All-Star Weekend coincides with the Chinese New Year, so Xie Kai's girlfriend Zhou Jing has returned to China for the New Year, so she cannot come to the scene to cheer for herself.

But Xie Kai believes that this will not be his last All-Star Tour, and he will definitely enter the All-Star Game many times in the future, and he will appear on the stage of the All-Star Game, for sure!
Although the Kings did not have a player selected for the All-Star Game, there were 3 players in the team selected for the All-Star Rookie Challenge.

The Kings specially held a small-scale press conference for these three players, and also specially invited a cameraman to take various photos of the three players.

The atmosphere of the All-Star Weekend is already very strong, and this period of time can be regarded as a good opportunity to rest in the NBA's long regular season.Those players who have no game assignments can take this opportunity to take a small vacation and reunite with family and friends.Those players who are injured can also take the opportunity to recuperate and recover their physical fitness.

The current NBA All-Star season is the 59th and will be held at the Dallas Cowboys Stadium, which is still under construction.The All-Star weekend event is co-hosted by the Mavericks, Cowboys and the city of Dallas.The rookie game and the slam dunk and three-point contest were held at the American Airlines Center Arena, home of the Mavericks.

Since this All-Star Game coincides with the traditional Chinese Spring Festival, Xie Kai cannot reunite with his parents at home in order to participate in the All-Star Game.Fortunately, I can't move at home, but my parents can move around freely.After discussing with Xie Kai, they agreed to come to Dallas to spend the All-Star Weekend with him, which is also the Chinese New Year.

Los Angeles is not far from Dallas, and it doesn't take long to get there by plane.At the airport, Xie Kai met his parents. Besides his parents, his cousin's family also came.

Xie Kai's aunt, Xie Meiya, was a little surprised when she saw her nephew, and explained with a smile: "Akai, don't you welcome us?"

"How is it possible? Welcome! This is your restaurant..."

Xie Meiya laughed and said, "You can't earn enough money. It's the Chinese New Year, so let's have a lively New Year!"

After speaking, everyone laughed.
