Chapter 47 Competition among rookies
Walking violation!Thank you for coming up is a mistake!
Xie Kai smiled awkwardly, and made an embarrassed gesture to the veteran Bobby Jackson who passed the ball to him.

The Trail Blazers also have a lot of rookies, Jerry Bayless, Nicholas Batum and others.

At this time, Rudy Fernandez, who is holding the ball in a high position on the court, is also considered a rookie from the Spanish national team. Although he was selected in the draft last year, he really landed in the NBA this summer.

Fernandez is not a traditional European defender, he is fast and athletic.

In the rotation stage of the preseason, everyone didn't play very tactically.Originally, training was the main focus, and those who played, whether they had contracts or not, were a bit messy.At this stage, disruptive battles are the main focus, the offense is simple, and there are many transitional offenses.

The Blazers missed 3 points from the outside line!
Jason Thompson flew to collect the rebound and handed it to Bobby Jackson.

Xie opened the frontcourt and galloped, which made the coach Reggie Tois's eyes shine-this Chinese kid's acceleration ability is good!

Xie Kai's speed has always been his advantage. Now that his physical fitness has improved, his explosive power and stability are also more important than before.The reason why he showed his speed is surprising is because in the United States, people will take it for granted that East Asian players are not fast and have average explosive power.Of course, it may also be the export of Chinese players to the NBA, most of which are related to inside players.

Bobby Jackson passed the ball to Xie Kai in the frontcourt.

Xie Kai adjusted his speed and got the ball one step ahead of Fernandez.After he received the ball, he slowed down near the 3-point line, a bow, and did not deceive the blocking Jerry Bayless.He didn't make a shot, and hit the ground to Jason Thompson who followed up. The latter started in the middle and violently abused the frame with both hands!

At 15:23, the Kings narrowed the point difference to 8 points!Xie Kai contributed the first assist in this game, which is also the first assist in his NBA career, although this is only a preseason game.

But looking back, Xie Kai was tricked by the cunning European defender Fernandez because of his excessive force on the defensive end, and he paid for a foul!
Kings coach Reggie Tois on the sidelines said to Xie Kai on the court: "Pay attention to your hand movements!" His implication was to ask him not to use his hands obviously when going up to defend.

The NBA canceled the hand check in 2004, the intention is to encourage offense, improve ratings.So those players who come from the NCAA or Europe and other places will not adapt to it at first.

Xie Kai didn't use his hands very often on the defensive end, but because he was playing for the first time today, he was a little too excited and nervous, so he subconsciously used his hands.

I signaled to the coach, he meant that he would pay attention.

Kings coach Reggie Toy likes Xie Kai's hard work. Many players with contracts will play sloppy in this preseason game, or they will be conservative for fear of injury or something.In this way, a good training goal cannot be achieved, and the team's chemical reaction is also very slow.

On the Trail Blazers side, Jerry Bayless made a sudden drive, but he didn't fully drive, and was interfered by Xie Kai when he forced a layup-missed!
Outlaw grabs an offensive rebound, shakes away Jason Thompson, and takes off with 2 jump hooks——Xie Kai helps defend to the basket, struggles to vacate, and blocks the ball with one hand!
The ball bounced into Diogu's hand and went out of the baseline!

The Blazers fans at the scene, as well as the coaching staff and players of both sides, were stunned.How could this be a weak yellow man who is less than 2 meters tall and weighs less than 90 kg?This is simply a winger with excellent physical fitness and active defense!

Jason Thompson, who was at the basket, backed away excitedly. He was very happy that the team was able to trade for such a seemingly weak, but actually tough guy!

The Blazers serve in the frontcourt.

The Kings' bench defense is very hard, I don't know if it was influenced by Xie Kai.

The Trail Blazers were defended for 24 seconds!
The home team fans in the Rose Garden Arena saw the team's bench perform so poorly and couldn't help booing.

Bobby Jackson took control of the ball and gave it to Bobby Brown who came out at the top of the arc.

Brown held the ball and walked in the middle, but was unable to make a shot after being flanked, and gave it to Xie Kai on the right wing.

Xie Kai catches the ball and makes a jump shot - no!
But Jason Thompson grabbed the high spot and hit the ball out to Bobby Jackson at the top of the key.

After Bobby Jackson picks and rolls, it is distributed to Sheldon Williams who goes down, and the latter is intercepted and distributed to Xie Kai, who steals chickens from the basket!

Xie Kai catches the ball and makes a quick shot—hitting the board!
Xie Kai scored his first 2 points in the preseason game of his NBA career!
The point difference was narrowed to 6 points!
Trail Blazers coach Nate McMillan was very dissatisfied with the performance of the team's bench lineup. He reminded the players on the sidelines to pay more attention to both offense and defense, and not to stand and watch the show on the defensive end.

The players of the Trail Blazers seemed a little embarrassed by the head coach's scolding, and the offensive end was much stronger. Diogu beat Jason Thompson under the basket and scored!

The difference is back to 8 points!
But looking back, Bobby Jackson hit a 3-pointer on the Kings side, and the point difference narrowed to 5 points!
Coach McMillan called for a timeout!
When Xie Kai left the field, the team's starters Garcia, Udri and others came to give him a high-five.Zhang Kai also came over to give him a high five, and said in broken English, "Come on!"

Xie Kai laughed and joked: "You should use Mandarin, your English is too naive!"

Zhang Kai scratched his head and asked with a smile, "Isn't there any progress?"

Xie laughed and asked, "What do you think?"

In the first quarter of the game, Xie Kai and the Kings' substitute players played vigorously and used tough defense to narrow the double-digit lag to only 3 points at the end of the first quarter!
谢开本人4投2中，得到4分1篮板1助攻1盖帽1失误。

The second quarter started, and Xie Kai continued to stay on the court.

In the first few rounds, neither side was able to score, and both sides made mistakes, and each hit two pieces of fine iron.

On the Trail Blazers side, Bayless broke through to Fernandez on the outside.

Fernandez used his teammates to cover, but Xie Kai was so fast around the screen that he failed to get rid of the opponent.

Fernandez made a strong kick, changed his crotch and then made an emergency stop to shoot a jumper-no!
Bobby Jackson received the rebound and counterattacked with the ball.

Xie Kai quickly started the fast break, and Fernandez and him started almost at the same time, making the fans scream.Everyone wanted to see which of these two foreign players, a white Spanish player and a yellow Chinese player, were similar in height and weight, and who was stronger.

Bobby Jackson also really wants Xie Kai to play more, the relationship between the two is still very good, as a veteran, he knows that what a rookie needs most is exercise and opportunities.
