Basketball K God

Chapter 7 Playing with Life

Xie Kai put all his attention on the court, and didn't care how the fans on the sidelines abused him.Since he came to the United States, since he joined the high school basketball team, he has often heard those who look down on him scold him.A few years have passed, and he has heard all kinds of bad words, and he has long been used to it.

If it wasn't for pursuing his basketball dream, the United States, he really wouldn't have come here.It is not as civilized and democratic as those "cents" boasted, but it made him see all kinds of discrimination and violence.

The game continues.

Chalmers dribbled the ball halfway, and Arthur came out to pick and roll.

Xie Kai moved without the ball and took away the defender.

Chalmers broke through and gave the ball to Rush who was outside the 3-point line on the left wing.

After a feint, Rush scored and the ball was in Arthur's hands.

Arthur missed the hook, but Xie Kai was desperate and grabbed the rebound from Dorsey abruptly!
The on-site commentator exclaimed: "Kane is playing with his life!"

Xie Kai points to outside Chalmers, who shoots 3 points - still no!
Rose received the rebound and started sprinting in the backcourt.

Kansas returned to the defense quickly, and Rose didn't find an opportunity to play more or less in the frontcourt.He immediately slowed down, lowered the offensive rhythm, and slowly organized.

"Derek is such a good point guard, he can reasonably adjust the team's offensive speed!" The on-site commentary praised.

CDR reached for the ball, and Rose passed it away.

CDR held the ball and faced Xie Kai's defense. Obviously, he was going to play hard.He was quite upset when he was blocked by the opponent just now.He never put the opponent in his eyes, and even felt that Coach Self of Kansas made such a role player guard him, which was a contempt for him.

After CDR made a fake move with the ball, he changed direction and walked in. To his surprise, Xie Kai's lateral movement speed was quite good, and he was not able to easily get rid of the opponent all at once.

What surprised CDR even more was that Xie Kai did not defend passively, but kept putting pressure on him.

The on-site commentator said in surprise: "Kanexie's defense is very tight. He doesn't care about his physical consumption at all. With such a defensive investment, can he last until the end of the game?"

Of course Xie Kai knew that his defense was exhausting, but he didn't care.I am just a substitute, I don't have to think about playing the whole game, and I don't have to think about the number of fouls.Anyway, to play is to burn and do it. If you are afraid of this and that, it will only hinder the team, so you might as well go home.

The CDR face frame was almost broken, he immediately turned his back, trying to use his strength and height to force Xie Kai.

Xie Kai stubbornly resisted the opponent's foot, and did not give in at all. His tough performance shocked CDR, a wing star at the University of Memphis.

CDR is not good at strength, so facing Xie Kai's deadly top defense, he really doesn't have much advantage.But in this situation, if I don't play, I am too embarrassed to participate in the draft.Heartbroken, he forcibly crushed in, then turned around and prepared to shoot a jump shot.

A scene that surprised him appeared, Xie Kai, who was desperately pushing himself against him just now, suddenly relieved his strength without warning.

CDR never expected that Xie Kaihui, who was desperately fighting with him just now, would suddenly come to this move. He suddenly lost his center of gravity because he couldn't use his strength. In order not to let himself fall, he couldn't help but take a few extra steps...

"Beep beep—" the referee's whistle sounded, let's go!
Coach Calipari, the coach of the University of Memphis, accused the referee of Xie Kaishi's small move, which should be a defensive foul, but the referee still insisted on the penalty.

Coach Self from the University of Kansas applauded. He was very satisfied with Xie Kai's "removal of the stool".In his opinion, an excellent defense should not just be head-to-head, and "show weakness" in a timely manner, and sometimes better results can be achieved.

At this juncture, the University of Kansas made a substitution, and Arthur was replaced by the Russian big Han Sasha Cohen.

Kansas possession!
Chalmers dribbled the ball across half court, and with the help of Cowen's pick-and-roll at the top of the arc, he broke through Rush in the right corner.

Rush cuts from the baseline and points to Darnell Jackson in the high post.

Darnell Jackson was flanked and assigned to Xie Kai who was outside the 3-point line on the left wing.

Xie Kai took a feint shot, flew the CDR, and made a jump shot—still nothing!
"Kane Xie missed the open space again, buddy, stop shooting, you have no shooting talent!" said the on-site commentary.

Dogel accepted the rebound and handed it to Rose to advance.

For the University of Memphis Tigers, Rose forced a drive to the basket, causing a foul by Cowen.

Rose goes to the free throw line.

Rose made two free throws to help the team lead the opponent by 19 points at 14:5.

The on-site commentary said: "Kansas is in trouble now. Since Kane Xie came on the field and indirectly liberated Derek, they are now 5 points behind."

The head coach of the University of Kansas, Coach Self, doesn't think so. Although Xie Kai missed both shots, the opportunity has already come out. In this case, as an outside pitcher, if he hesitates to make a shot, that is unacceptable. .

Kansas continues to attack here!
Through off-the-ball movement, blocking and cutting cooperation, the ball was transferred, and it was in the hands of Xie Kai, who was outside the 3-point line on the left.

Because the first two open shots were declared missed, Memphis also didn't take him seriously, thinking that even if he made a shot, it would not be a big hit.CDR, who is in charge of defending the perimeter, even believes that this handsome East Asian skinny man may not be able to withstand the pressure and will choose to pass the ball.

Under such circumstances, CDR did not try his best to pounce. He wanted to see if this man who was like a wolf on the defensive end was still so confident as a tough guy when he encountered a cold touch on the offensive end.

Unexpectedly, Xie Kai didn't hesitate at all. He didn't even make too many adjustments. Facing open opportunities, he didn't hesitate to shoot a 3-pointer...

The 10 players present, including the bench players on the sidelines, members of the coaching staff and the fans at the scene, all looked at the ball.This ball is very important to both sides, and it is even more important to the lagging Kansas.

"Shua—" The ball went into the net hollow!
Xie Kai finally opened the pot!

Not only Xie Kai heaved a sigh of relief, but even Coach Self on the sidelines felt a lot more relieved.He likes Xie Kai very much, this young man, such a hardworking kid, such a tough player, shouldn't be so unlucky.

You know, Xie Kai's 3-point shooting percentage this season is close to 4%!

With Xie Kai's 3-pointer, Kansas chased the point difference to only 2 points!
Xie Kai's 3-pointer put more pressure on Memphis on the defensive end.They didn't dare to let him shoot 3-pointers easily anymore. The 3-pointers were too lethal. After working so hard to kill the basket, they could only score 2 points. A cold shot could score 3 points!
"Kane Xie finally made a 3-pointer! Memphis is still too negligent. I know that players from East Asia all have one-handed shots!" The on-site commentary began to justify itself.

The fans at the University of Kansas began to cheer, and they were not so annoying when they saw Xie Kai.You must know that just now when he missed an open shot and was counterattacked by the opponent, they really wanted to throw him into the Pacific Ocean to feed the fish.

For Xie Kai, it's not that he has no pressure, nor is he alone, but that he doesn't believe in his shooting, it's really so unreliable!
