Basketball K God

Chapter 56
Halfway through the first quarter, the Kings' No. 12 rookie of the year, Jason Thompson, had replaced Mitch Moore and played the game.The Timberwolves' No. 5 pick in the first round, Kevin Love, was replaced by the coach when there were nearly 5 minutes left in the first quarter.

Visiting team bench.

Xie Kai is still waiting, he knows that his team status is not as good as Jason Thompson's, which can be seen from the draft picks of the two.Naturally, the team will not leave a lottery pick without giving priority to training.

It was still 2 minutes and 03 seconds into the first quarter, when a dead ball appeared on the sidelines, Xie Kai was called by coach Reggie Tois.

Xie Kai's feeling of excitement was stronger than the preseason opener against the Trail Blazers on October 10, because it was the regular season.This proves that he is in the team's rotation at least for now, and he doesn't care who he belongs to among the 8-8 players in the rotation, even if he is the last one, it doesn't matter.Anyway, you have to work hard to play.

——Opportunities are earned!
Xie Kai made his debut wearing the No. 22 Kings blue away jersey.At this moment, his excited eyes became a little different.He had waited too long for this moment.

"Reggie, look, Kane is on the field!" Kevin Harlan laughed.

"It seems that it is 100%!" Reggie Miller said.

At this time, the score on the court was tied at 27, and the Timberwolves held the ball.

Kevin Ollie dribbles over and organizes the offense at the top of the arc.

Xie Kai spared no effort to entangle Rashad McCants like a chicken blood.

McCants didn't get a chance to catch the ball, and Ollie gave the ball to Love at the elbow.

"Kane's defense is really positive enough, as if he is playing the last minute of his life." Kevin Harlan said.

"I watched this year's NCAA finals, and Kane's defense left a deep impression on me. He was too active and worked too hard. Such a player really cherishes every opportunity he gets!" Reggie Miller sighed .

Here Le Fu turned over and missed the hook!

Jason Thompson grabs the rebound and passes it to Bobby Jackson for the drive.

Xie Kai's fast break was fast, but the Minnesota's second team's defense speed was also good, so it did not form a situation where more frontcourt plays and less.

McCants is the main attacker of the Timberwolves' bench lineup. He was deeply impressed by Xie Kai's desperate defense just now. He decided to give the opponent some strength on the defensive end. An unknown yellow-skinned rookie actually played like this brutal.

Xie Kai has no tactical position on the offensive end. His role is to use his outside threat to open up space and involve the opponent's defensive formation.

So he's either in the corner waiting to shoot the 3, or he's constantly moving off the ball on the weak side.

Fortunately, McCants is a short No. 193 with a height of 2cm, and there is no problem in moving, so he can keep up with Xie Kai's speed.

Here, Sheldon Williams made a mid-range jumper - hit the front!The ball flew straight in his direction, but was hit by Rodney Carney of the Timberwolves!
The ball changed direction and bounced towards the backcourt.

Xie Kai's reaction was quite fast, like a rabbit, he rushed out with a "whoosh".

The Timberwolves' backup point guard Kevin Ollie is 36 years old, and his legs and feet have long been inconvenient. Except for a league underdog like the Timberwolves, no playoff-level team will sign him.He had seen the ball, but by the time his old bones started, Xie Kai, who was less than 20 years old, had already run several steps.

McCants reacted quickly, but he was still a beat behind, and Xie Kai seized the opportunity!
Xie Kai's speed was very fast, which surprised everyone present.You know, he is a man of yellow race, so he shouldn't be so fast!

Xie Kai barely slowed down. He bent down like lightning, picked up the ball with one hand, and then galloped towards the opponent's basket.

"There is no defense in the frontcourt!" Kevin Harlan exclaimed.

It's a one-shot!The football fans in the arena were silently amazed.

At this time, Xie Kai only saw the basket, and he didn't care whether the opponent had a defensive player catching up.He believes in his own speed, in this case, no one on the other side has the ability to catch up with him!

Getting closer to the basket, Xie Kai seemed to hear the screams of the fans.At this moment, a group of words flashed in his mind-is it a dunk, or a layup!
Xie Kai didn't hesitate, he had already started, took off with one foot, jumped to the highest point, and smashed the basketball in his hand into the basket!

"Kane thanks for the dunk!" Kevin Harlan exclaimed.

Because in the away game, Xie Kai's wonderful dunk name did not get unanimous praise from the fans!
After Xie Kai landed, the joy in his heart was beyond words.Strictly speaking, this is the first point of my NBA career!To get the first point with such a beautiful dunk, this is definitely something he didn't even dare to think about in advance.

McCants, who was facing off against Xie Kai, felt very uncomfortable seeing Xie Kai showing off.He can tolerate a superstar like Kobe scoring 30 or even 40 points on his head, but he will never allow a little-known foreign rookie like Xie Kai to play a bright performance.

Veteran Kevin Ollie dribbles over and finds someone at the top of the key.

McCants tried to catch the ball from the right wing, but Xie Kai defended the ball very well. He used quick footsteps to move around and interfere, so that Ollie dared not take the risk of passing the ball.

McCants panicked, raised his elbow and hit Xie Kai's left rib.

Xie Kai suddenly felt a burning pain in his left rib. He looked at the referee, but found that the referee on duty was indifferent as if nothing happened.He wanted to protest, but immediately realized that his protest was useless, and he might even get a T for it.He has never eaten pork and has seen pigs run. He has watched NBA games since he was a child, and he usually argues with referees. Few of them have good fruit to eat.

"Sacramento, a rookie, can bear it!" Kevin Harlan said with a smile.

"At a young age, I know that sometimes anger can't help me and the team!" Reggie Miller expressed his opinion.

In the game, on the Timberwolves side, Love made a strong hit at the basket, and the two sides tied at 29!
At this time, there are 1 minutes and 08 seconds left before the end of the first quarter.

The Kings attacked, Jason Thompson received an internal pass from Sheldon Williams and cooperated with him, turned around and dunked with one hand!

The Kings overtook the Timberwolves again at 31:29!

On the Timberwolves side, Ollie dribbled the ball and wanted to pass it to McCants, but Xie Kai stuck to him like a magnet.

McCants couldn't get the ball, so he went straight to Ollie, handed him, and finally got the ball.

McCants signaled his teammates to pull away, and he wanted to thank him one-on-one.

The Timberwolves fans at the scene suddenly became excited, and cheers and screams suddenly sounded in the originally lifeless target center.
