Chapter 48 A remarkable preseason debut
Xie Kai was running and motioned for Bobby Jackson to pass the ball to him.

Bobby Jackson was happy in his heart, he was naturally happy to see these two foreign rookies competing there.Once upon a time, he was a rookie himself, so excited that he couldn't sleep at night during the summer league and preseason games.

The ball flew towards the place in front of Xie Kai, and finally hit the floor.

Xie Kai accelerated again and reached for the ball with his left hand. At this time, he was already very close to the basket.But Fernandez is on his right, blocking his drive to the basket.

Xie Kai leaned against the opponent with his right shoulder while holding the ball, turned forward with the ball in his left hand, cut into the 3-second zone, and then forced up...

Fernandez was swayed a little, but his reaction speed was very fast, and he immediately put his weight back and swooped over.

Xie Kai pushed the opponent away, held the ball with both hands, and then hit a layup—hit!Almost at the same time, the referee's whistle also sounded - And one!

Xie Kai clenched his fist excitedly, his excitement was beyond words.When he was in the NCAA, there was no time for him to show his strong body.Now, all of this has come true, at least now I can completely fight against people of the same size and gain an advantage.

Bobby Jackson came up and gave Xie a high-five with a smile. As an old American guard, he likes players with a tough style of play.Although Xie Kai is a man of yellow race, in his opinion, he dares to confront and defends toughly, which is the style of play that old-school players like.

Xie Kai got to the free throw line, made an extra free throw, and the Kings tied the game!

The substitute players of the two teams entered the confrontation, and the score kept biting until the sidelines entered a timeout, and the starting players of both sides came back again.

谢开上半场比赛打了11分钟，7投4中，其中罚球1罚1中，得到9分3篮板2助攻1抢断1盖帽2失误。

After the Trail Blazers' starter came back, they quickly took advantage of the field. Aldridge and Oden's two insiders completely defeated the Kings' weak defense in the penalty area.

At the end of the half, the Trail Blazers regained the score advantage, leading the Kings by 52 points 43:9.

As soon as the game started in the third quarter, the Trail Blazers played both inside and outside, and played a wave of climax, instantly extending the score to 3 points.At this point the game started to move towards garbage time.

Xie Kai was replaced with 3 and a half minutes left in the third quarter.But this time the opponent has already gained momentum, and he and other Kings substitute players could not chase points as easily as they did in the first half.

The game entered garbage time at the beginning of the last quarter.With 3 minutes left in the game, Zhang Kai from China was dispatched by coach Reggie Tois to make his preseason debut.

In 3 minutes, Zhang Kai got 1 rebound and didn't score.

Finally, the game is over.The Trail Blazers easily defeated the Kings at home and won their first preseason victory.

谢开全场比赛上场24分钟，10投5中，其中3分球2投0中，罚球5罚4中，砍下14分4篮板3助攻2抢断1盖帽3失误，表现可圈可点。

The fly in the ointment is that the 3-pointer was not able to hit, and there were a lot of turnovers (3 times).As a rookie player participating in the preseason for the first time, the overall performance is still very good.

After the game, Kings coach Reggie Tois said in an interview with ESPN: "Kane performed very well in this game. He is very active on the court. Whether it is defense or offense, he has a high degree of participation. He needs more Practice the game and adapt to the rhythm of the NBA game, I believe he will get better and better!"

In the locker room of the visiting team after the game, Xie Kai asked Zhang Kai: "How does it feel to play today?"

Zhang Kai told the truth: "I was a little too tight and didn't let go. The biggest feeling for me in the NBA is that the interior speed here is very fast, and the confrontation intensity is very strong. Often an opportunity will be lost if you hesitate for a moment. "

Xie Kai nodded and said: "Confrontation is indeed too important. Confrontation cannot match the opponent, and it is difficult to bring out your own technical characteristics."

The loss in the first game of the preseason, Xie Kai, was still not very comfortable. Although it was just an insignificant preseason game, the outcome would not be included in the regular season, and would not affect the competition for a place in the playoffs.But he really doesn't like to lose. He is very eager to win, and he has been like this since he played.

The 3-point shot still couldn't fully find the feeling, Xie Kai specially went to practice the 3-point shot after the game, and kept training the 3-point shot in the consciousness training.From the bottom corner, 45 degrees to the top of the arc, each point is cast N times.

The Kings next game is back at home against the Oklahoma City Thunder in three days.The Seattle SuperSonics moved their home court to Oklahoma City this summer and changed their name to the Thunder.In this way, Xie Kai's friend Westbrook will become the last batch of rookies for the Sonics.

Before the game against the Thunder started, Westbrook's call came...

"God K, we are going to fight soon!" Xie Kai seemed to be able to clearly perceive the scene of Westbrook grinning.

"Why do you call me God K?" Xie Kai asked back.

"You 'God K' is already famous on the Internet, don't you know it?" Westbrook continued to laugh.

Of course Xie Kai knows, he just doesn't know that his nickname has become known to everyone.

"Why, do you want to face me on the field?" Xie Kai asked.

"It's not for me to decide. It depends on how the coach arranges! I really want to play against you. I heard that you have become stronger, but I haven't played against you for a long time." Westbrook said .

"One-on-one? If there is a chance, there must be a chance!" Xie Kai said with certainty.

On October 10, the Kings ushered in a challenge from the Thunder at home.

The Thunder, which was still the Seattle SuperSonics last season, ranked last in the Western Conference.In the draft in June, they selected the violent guard Russell Westbrook from UCLA.This team already has last year's No. 6 Kevin Durant, No. 5 pick Jeff Green, plus Westbrook, full of talent.

In this game, the starting lineup of the Kings at home is: center - Brad Miller, power forward - Mitch Moore, small forward - John Salmons, shooting guard - Kevin Martin, point guard - — Bobby Brown.

Veteran Miller and core Kevin Martin, who were absent from the last game, both started this game. Udri took a break in this game. The starter was guard Bobby Brown, who was undrafted last year and signed with a basic salary for 2 years this season.

The Thunder's starting lineup for the away game is: center - Joe Smith, power forward - Nick Collison, small forward - Desmond Mason, shooting guard - Damien Wilkins, point guard - — Earl Watson.

In this game, last year's No. [-] pick Kevin Durant took a break.Westbrook will come off the bench for this game.
