Chapter 58 Barkley's Bet
这场比赛，两队的乐透秀都有不俗的表现。国王队这边，内线贾森汤普森11投7中砍下18分10个篮板的两双。而森林狼队这边，5号秀凯文乐福则是8投5中拿下12分9个篮板的“准两双”。

Xie Kai is very low-key in the team, and he never makes any long speeches in the locker room, and he will not discuss tactics with his teammates presumptuously.He knew that he was only a first-year rookie. According to the habits of the domestic army, the recruits should be quicker in front of the veterans, and talk less and do more.No one likes newcomers who have nothing to do with BB, this truth seems to exist in any corner of the world.

As a rookie, he took the initiative to carry luggage for the team's veterans like Bobby Jackson, John Salmons and others.

For this reason, the veterans in these teams never made things difficult for him, and they also knew that this young man was hardworking, humble and low-key.

The reason why Xie Kai did that was not because he really liked it, but because he was trying to adapt to this environment in order to survive better. The NBA is a small society. His parents taught him since he was a child that if a person cannot adapt to the environment, he can only be eliminated by the environment.

——Since you can’t change the environment, you can only change yourself.

At the press conference after the game, when a reporter asked Kings coach Reggie Tois about Xie Kai's performance in this game, he said with a smile: "Kane's game attitude is admirable, he is such a young man who loves basketball. In this game, his touch is actually very average, but in the limited playing time, he brought the team a long-lost spirit on the defensive end, which I think is very good!"

Xie Kai learned about the coach's praise after the game through the Internet.He is very grateful to Reggie Tois for his recognition of his game style. Even if it is a scene, at least he is affirming himself, not dissatisfied.He knows he needs to get better, and it's not enough to just play defense.If you want to get more playing time, or even stay on the court at critical moments of the game, your offense must become better.

I thought it was just an ordinary regular season, but I didn't expect it to be blown up on the Internet after the game.

It turned out that TNT commentator "Big Mouth" Charles Barkley started to come out again and made amazing remarks: "If Kanexie can enter the best rookie team at the end of the season, then I will kiss the ass of the donkey like I did back then!"

Xie Kai didn't know about this at first, but his girlfriend Zhou Jing called and said that someone on the Internet was belittling him.

Zhou Jing is a girl who is not interested in the NBA. The purpose of her following the NBA is to know the news of her boyfriend Xie Kai.So as soon as Barkley's amazing remarks were reproduced on the Internet, she saw it immediately.

Xie Kai really doesn't know whether to be angry or to laugh, can you stop being so boring and come up with something new if you want to bet, okay?You like kissing the ass of donkeys so much, wouldn't it be over if you kissed secretly behind your back?Even if something indescribable happens with the donkey, no one cares about you!Is it necessary to always target us yellow people and then hype it to catch people's attention?

This is simply a spoof!

When Barkley was in the rookie season of Yao Ming, he looked down on the big man from China. He said in front of the American media: "Kenny said that Yao Ming can score 19 points in a single game. If Yao can really do it Come on, then I'll kiss the donkey's ass on TV."

Although he kept his promise afterwards and kissed the ass of the donkey, it was his word, but his behavior of taking the opportunity to hype and belittle yellow players still makes people feel quite speechless.

Xie Kai knew that this was a tactic used by many media in the United States in order to gain ratings and attract people's attention.He didn't feel much at first, but it still made him feel very uncomfortable when it happened to him.

It seems that my career will inevitably be spent amid doubts, since it is unavoidable, then come on.Xie Kai made up his mind, he must complete the set goal, and let those so-called brick family celebrities who despise him know that I can do it!
The Kings' second opponent in the regular season is the Miami Heat on the south coast of the East.

Miami is the second largest city in Florida, USA, located on Key Biscayne on the Florida Peninsula.In addition, Miami is the largest city in the South Florida metropolitan area.

Xie Kai has never been to Miami before. Although he has lived in the United States for so many years, he rarely travels, and his activities are basically limited to California.Now it is quite new to be able to run around with the team throughout the United States due to work.

The United States has a large land area, and the home of the NBA team is located from the west coast to the east coast, with a huge span. In the eyes of Xie Kai at this time, the fatigue of traveling is not a burden, but a kind of enjoyment.

Miami is a large city with a dense population and a developed economy.Xie Kai knew that he was here to play an away game, so he didn't have so much time and energy to have fun.

The day before the game against the Heat, Xie Kai and other Kings players had a pre-match training session in the Heat's training facility.

At the end of the training session, Xie Kai received a message from Zhou Jing.

The message reads: "You're in Miami now, aren't you?"

Xie Kai replied with a smile: "Yes, have you seen our schedule?"

Zhou Jing quickly returned: "Of course, if it weren't for you, how could I, a non-basketball fan, pay attention to the NBA!"

"Then should I thank you?"

"It's up to you!"

"I think Miami is pretty good, why don't we come here next time?" Xie Kai extended an invitation.

"This girl dares to go anywhere, you are afraid that you will randomly write bad checks!"

"Once a man says his word, it's hard to follow. Remember, if I don't keep it, I'll be fined not to eat cucumbers!"

"You have a good idea, who doesn't know that you hate eating cucumbers the most, ho ho—"

Joking with Zhou Jing was Xie Kai's rare leisure time in the intense training.His teammate Jason Thompson saw him giggling and asked, "Are you chatting with your girlfriend?"

Xie Kai glanced at him, nodded and said, "Yes, do you have a girlfriend, Jason?"

Jason Thompson shook his head and said, "I just broke up, and falling in love is very troublesome!"

"It's very troublesome..." Xie Kai nodded solemnly.

……

In 2006, the Heat defeated the Dallas Mavericks in 4 consecutive games and won the NBA championship with the joint performance of Shaquille O'Neal and "The Flash" Dwyane Wade.

But since then, as the veterans retired and traded, the core O'Neal and Wade have suffered injuries to varying degrees, so the team's record has also plummeted.
