Chapter 49 I am a stream of consciousness

In the pre-match practice stage, two good friends, Xie Kai and Westbrook, hugged each other tightly.

"Kane, we will be opponents in the future, and I will not show mercy to the Kings!" Westbrook said with a smile.

"Don't worry, I won't either!" Xie Kai also said with a smile.

The game starts soon.

As soon as the first quarter came up, the offensive efficiency of the two teams was not high.But soon, the Kings, who were playing at home, quickly took the lead by relying on the joint efforts of Bobby Brown and John Salmons.

With 5 minutes and 03 seconds left in the first quarter, Xie Kai was called by coach Reggie Tois and replaced teammate Kevin Martin to play.

At this time, Westbrook had already come off the bench one step ahead of him.At this time, the score of the two teams was 16:8, and the Kings at home took the lead.

Westbrook dribbles across half court.

Bobby Brown went up to harass.

With the help of Petro's cover, Westbrook used his speed to break through the inside line and gave it to Desmond Mason on the outside line.

Mason was the All-Star Slam Dunk Champion in 2001, and his physical fitness is top notch.Facing Xie Kai's defense, he directly forced a breakthrough step by step.

When Xie Kai confronted him, he found that his strength was not as good as that of the opponent, so he did not choose to block hard, so as not to be knocked down and lose a defensive foul.The defensive method he adopts is "biting the steps", not letting the opponent throw him off, staying in front of the opponent, constantly disturbing the opponent with his body, and making the opponent feel uncomfortable.

Although Mason has won the slam dunk title, his skills are still quite rough. Otherwise, with his physical fitness, he wouldn't be wandering around.But after all, he is also a person who has averaged more than double-digit points per game for several consecutive seasons. Except for the unreliable 3-pointers, this cut is quite impactful.

Mason forcibly killed Xie Kai, causing a foul by the opponent!

Mason walked to the free throw line, and before he walked to the free throw line, he gave Xie Kai a hard look with his big copper bell-like eyes!
But unfortunately, Mason missed two free throws...

Sheldon Williams receives the rebound and gives it to Bobby Brown to advance.

Xie Kai moved around without the ball, and Mason was in charge of defending him. He became a little irritable with him, and provoked him with trash talk: "Huangpi boy, it's no use running around, no one will pass the ball to you!"

Xie Kai ignored him at all, caring about his position without the ball.

Bobby Brown points to Sheldon Williams in the high post, who then points to Xie Kai who cuts from the baseline.

After Xie Kai received the ball, he quickly lowered his weight and cut to the basket, stuck Mason, and changed hands under the basket for a counter-rebound—hitting the rebound!
Mason was so angry that there was nothing he could do, because he was stuck behind by the opponent. If he used too much force, it would be a foul.

At 18:8, the Kings extended their lead to double digits for the first time.

Westbrook missed the mid-range for the Thunder!
Xie Kai grabbed the backcourt rebound, charged forward with the ball, and distributed it to Bobby Brown, who followed up on the left wing.

Bobby Brown chases and shoots a 3 - no!
But Xie Kai cleverly got to the basket early and accepted the rebound, but instead of laying up immediately, he feinted twice!
He made these two feints, once shaking his good friend Westbrook who was back on defense, and the other shaking Mason who was defending himself.

Xie Kai didn't shake for the third time, but scored directly with a swipe!
The point difference was widened to 12 points, and the Thunder coach PJ Carlesimo on the sidelines requested a timeout!

The cheers of the fans of the home team sounded in the Sleep Train Arena, the home of the Kings, and everyone applauded for the team's excellent performance at this stage.

谢开上场还不到2分钟，就已经2投2中砍下4分2个篮板了，表现极为高效。

Pause back, the game continues.The two sides also made some substitution adjustments. At this time, all the players on the field were substitute players from both sides.

The game goes on!

On the Thunder's side, Westbrook forcibly killed the basket and caused a foul.He has not scored a goal in a sports game in this game, and he feels very bad.But even so, he can still get free throw opportunities with a strong breakthrough.

——This is talent!

Westbrook made two free throws, and the point difference narrowed to 10 points again.

For the Kings, Bobby Jackson missed a jumper!
Westbrook received the rebound and accelerated directly in the backcourt, causing another foul by the Kings!
Now that the foul count is up, Westbrook will go straight to the free throw line.

Westbrook made two free throws and Hawes grabbed a backcourt rebound.

Kings attack!
Bobby Jackson used a screen at the top of the arc to hold the ball to the right corner.

Xie Kai circles from the left bottom corner to the right bottom corner.

Bobby Jackson's pass goes by quickly.

Xie Kai received the ball, took two steps in with the ball, and suddenly passed the ball to Hawes who cut out to the top of the arc.

Hawes got a wide open and shot a 3-pointer-hit!
The point difference came to 13 points!Thank you for the first assist!
Westbrook made a pass error on the Thunder side!

Bobby Jackson steals and counterattacks!

Xie Kai quickly played without the ball, and Mason immediately followed.

Bobby Jackson thanks the frontcourt!

Xie Kai received the ball, facing Mason's aggressive defense, and then divided Bobby Jackson in the middle, and then made a fake cut to the outside of the 3-point line, and suddenly ran back and cut in!
Mason didn't expect him to make such a move, he lost his position in an instant, and it was too late to adjust his center of gravity to keep up.

Bobby Jackson passed the ball immediately, and Xie Kai scored a touchdown.

The point difference was widened to 15 points!
Thunder coach PJ Carlesimo was stunned. He didn't expect that his talented substitute lineup would be overwhelmed by the opponent's old and small motley crew.In the matchup between Mason and Xie Kai, the feeling was completely reversed. Ganqing Xie Kai is a veteran, and Mason is a rookie.

In fact, Mason is not that bad. Although he is not a person with outstanding basketball IQ, he will not be played like this by a rookie.The reason is that one is underestimating the enemy, and the other is not understanding the other party.

In the second half of the first quarter, the Kings, who were playing at home, completely dominated the field, played vigorously on the offensive end, and widened the point difference to as much as 18 points before the end of the first quarter.

谢开首节5投4中，得到8分2篮板1助攻1抢断，没有失误，表现得相当出色。

At the beginning of the second quarter, Mason saw Xie Kai walking without the ball like a loach, and was furious: "If you have the guts, you will start a one-on-one match with me, and you will pick up the mistakes and fast break to grab points!"

Xie Kai sneered and said, "Why do I have to fight you one-on-one? This is 'stream of consciousness', understand?"

Mason was so angry that he had been in the league for almost 10 seasons, and he was so angry that his lungs were about to explode when he was taught a lesson by a rookie.

In the next offensive round, he reached out for the ball, and he must hit Xie hard to save face!
Westbrook didn't feel good either. Watching teammate Mason being teased by his good friend Xie Kai, he didn't know whether to laugh or get angry.
