Chapter 431 A New Halftime Score High
On February 2, the NBA officially announced the Eastern and Western starting lineups for the Orlando All-Star Game. The results were the same as those announced in yesterday's TNT special program.

The results of the All-Star voting were announced soon, and Warcraft became the king of votes with 1600390 votes.The most votes in the West is Bryant's 1555479.

Xie Kai finally got 1334614 votes, ranking third in the West, slightly less than Kevin Durant.

If it is said that Yao Ming and Fu Boss were selected as the All-Star starters because of the glory of Chinese fans, and their own strength is not enough to become the top 10 players in the league, then Xie Kai's selection is relatively much less controversial.

First of all, Xie Kai was selected to the All-Star bench last season.The unanimous opinion in the market is: All-star starting is more based on popularity, while the bench lineup is more based on strength.

The 14 players on the bench for the NBA All-Star Game are voted by the coaches of the 30 teams in the NBA. Each coach cannot choose players from his own team.

In this way, the players selected by the voting coaches are relatively objective and accurate, basically meeting the definition of an All-Star.Of course there are some controversies every year, but the scope of the controversies is only limited to one or two players.

NBA coaches are naturally professional, even those trolls and keyboard warriors on the Internet, it is not easy to pretend to know the ball and criticize these 30 NBA coaches.

The coaches still know the ball.

Therefore, Xie Kai's selection to the All-Star starting lineup this time is well deserved.Even if some sunspots say that Paul is more suitable to start than him, it is only a small number of people.Even Heizi had to admit that even if he didn't make the starting lineup, it didn't prevent him from getting into the All-Star Game at all.

After all, the NBA's 29 players who know the ball will definitely not let Xie Kai miss this All-Star Game.

On the evening of February 2, the Grizzlies lost to the Eagles in an away game and missed the winning streak.After the game, their record came to 3 wins and 11 losses, which is exactly 11%.But this result is currently not in the top eight in the West.For them, entering the playoffs is the most basic task of this season. If the team cannot complete such a task, this season will be a complete failure.

Xie Kai is not satisfied with the current results of the team, so every time after the game, he will conduct additional training.He knows the team's current difficulties, and what he can do is not to blame his teammates, nor to force the palace management to trade, but to improve himself and make himself better, so as to help the team tide over the difficulties.

The next day, the Grizzlies played back-to-back away games against the Thunder.

The two teams are already very familiar opponents, and they met in the playoffs last season.In the previous two matches this season, the Grizzlies lost to each other.

In this game, the Grizzlies have a disorganized lineup and play back-to-back away games; while the Thunder have a neat lineup and are waiting for work.

这场比赛，谢开再次爆发了！他全场出战40分36秒，疯狂砍下全场最高的44分，外加5个篮板5次助攻1个抢断1个盖帽的全面表现。

谢开的44分是他NBA常规赛职业生涯的第2高的得分（最高45分），而他下半场砍下的30分则是他NBA常规赛职业生涯半场得分新高（之前最高是27分）。

After the game, ESPN commentator Mike Breen sighed in a TV show: "Now someone says that Kane Xie is not worthy of the status of the All-Star starter, I will ask him to see the neurology department!"

Xie Kai has scored 40+ many times this season. Although he is not yet 50+, there is no need to question his scoring ability.During the period when the Black Bear was absent, his outstanding performance also proved that he did not rely on the containment of the Black Bear to get an average of 25+ points per game.

On February 2, the Grizzlies did not play, and their next game was an away game against the Boston Celtics the next day.

And on this day, Jeremy Lin, who has the same skin color as Xie Kai, stood at the crossroads of the NBA.

Jeremy Lin's Knicks are playing against the Nets at home today.It is reported that he will be waived by the team after this game.

Jeremy Lin's contract is not fully guaranteed. Once he is waived, his NBA career may come to an end.

Unexpectedly, the main point guard Shumpert was injured in the middle of the game!When the mustache was unavailable, Jeremy Lin was temporarily activated.

这一下可不得了，林书豪全场19投10中25分5个篮板7次助攻2个抢断的数据，率领球队击败了篮网队！
Jeremy Lin completed the redemption!

Not only the top and bottom of the Knicks team were stunned, even Xie Kai, who was sitting in the hotel watching the live broadcast, was also stunned...

This kind of extreme operation is really beyond the reach of ordinary people.And Jeremy Lin finally seized what might be his last chance to complete self-salvation.

After watching this game, Xie Kai felt very deeply.In the NBA, there is too much discrimination and too much suppression.For people of the yellow race, the conditions are very harsh if they want to make contributions here.As for myself, the only thing I can rely on is myself.

After the game, Xie Kai dialed Jeremy Lin's private phone number (the two had exchanged calls before).But the phone line was busy. Obviously, many people contacted him after the game.

It was normal for Xie Kai to think about it, so he took a shower and then called again.

Finally, when Xie Kai made the 11th call, he finally connected!

Before Xie Kai could speak, Jeremy Lin on the other end of the phone shouted excitedly: "Kane, I finally got a chance today!"

Although two hours had passed since the end of the game, Jeremy Lin's tone still seemed very excited.It's hard to imagine what he had endured in searching for opportunities before.

"Congratulations, Shuhao, you played really well today!" Xie Kai didn't call him "Jeremy", but "Shuhao", because it seemed closer, and he didn't like to call someone It seems strange to have an English name for a person of the same race as myself.

"Xie Kai, are you watching the game too?" Jeremy Lin also called Xie Kai by his Chinese name, and he said this sentence in poor Mandarin.

"Yes, I watched the whole process, Shuhao, you did a great job, it was so perfect, you didn't give up, you kept insisting on your dream, I was really touched. Also, just now you cut under the basket The 2+1 hit by Deron is too tough!" Xie Kai said excitedly.

"I know if I don't go all out, maybe this will be my last NBA game! Thank you, I want to stay in the NBA!" Jeremy Lin said seriously.

"You did it, you will definitely be able to stay in the NBA, I firmly believe it!"

On February 2, the Grizzlies lost an away game to the Celtics, ending their three-game trip.Next, they will return to their home court and play 6 consecutive home games.
