Chapter 79
The Kings get the ball!The game goes on!

For the Kings, Xie Kai made an air cut and moved, and after receiving the ball, he pointed to Bobby Jackson from the outside, and the latter hit a 3-pointer!

The Kings lead by 3 points!
The Clippers did not pause!

In the frontcourt, Xie Kai moved without the ball and cut directly to the basket with the help of a screen!
Bobby Jackson and Xie Kai have become more and more in tune with each other. He hits the ground just right, and the latter does not need to make extra preparations to catch the ball, and directly attacks the frame!

Paul Davis once again hit Xie Kai's arm while protecting the frame, but this time, he was even slower, allowing the opponent to throw the ball!
The whistle blows, the ball goes in!
"And one!" Xie Kai shouted loudly!

Bobby Jackson came over and gave Shay a high five!

The Kings quickly extended the score to 5 points, and Xie Kai had to make free throws!

The Clippers coach old Dunleavy couldn't sit still on the sidelines, and he decisively requested a timeout!
"Mike finally called a timeout. I think he could call a timeout in the last round, and he is calm enough." Mike Breen laughed.

"Indeed, last round the opponent has already had some momentum, I guess he wants the players on the field to adjust themselves." Jeff Van Gundy said.

The Staples Center was a bit quiet, the visiting team played a climax, the home team fans would not cheer and applaud, right?
"Jeff, this should be the key to the second team you said?" Mike Breen said with a smile.

"Almost, it turns out that the second team in Los Angeles broke the balance, but the second team in Sacramento stabilized the situation and now reversed the situation. Now it depends on whether the home team can respond. If not, the suspense of this game may be It's going to get smaller."

Back from the timeout, Xie Kai walked to the free throw line and steadily made an extra free throw!

The point difference was widened to 6 points!
In the subsequent contest between the two teams' second teams, the Kings firmly held the advantage, and at most times the point difference was widened to 10 points.

The Clippers' main lineup came back soon, but what Xie Kai didn't expect was that coach Reggie Tois didn't replace him, and he didn't play the offensive constipation 3 inside lineup in the opening game.

Xie Kai knows very well that if he is not replaced at this time, it means that he will play the full fourth quarter.For him, this is the first time in his NBA regular season career that he has played the full fourth quarter, and it is also a critical moment when he will play the final quarter in non-garbage time.

"It seems that Kane will play to the end!" Mike Breen said.

Jeff Van Gundy nodded and said: "Obviously, Reggie saw that it was difficult for his 3 inside lineup to be competitive at the end of the game. Kane's performance in this game is also worthy of staying on the court in the final stage of the game."

Happier than Xie Kai was his mother, Chen Guixiang.He was very excited because his son played well and kept playing, and the coach didn't seem to want to replace him.

In the following time, although Xie Kai did not have a lot of possessions on the offensive end, he played a very active role in passing and defense, helping the team maintain the score advantage until the end of the game.

In the end, the Kings defeated the Clippers 102:94 away and refused to lose two consecutive games.

谢开本场比赛的出场时间创造了他NBA常规赛职业生涯的新高——31分钟。他全场13投7中,其中3分球3投2中,罚球9罚8中,砍下24分6个篮板5次助攻2个抢断1个盖帽,只出现了1次失误。

After the game, Xie Kai did not go to the locker room immediately, but stayed on the field.Soon, Chen Guixiang and a group of people came down from the stands. Everyone was very happy to see Xie Kai.

Xie Kai was very excited to be surrounded by this group of acquaintances with yellow skin and black hair.It has been a long time since there are so many acquaintances around him. He has been on the team since the start of the preseason, and he hasn't been to the restaurant of his aunt in Chinatown in Los Angeles for a long time.

"Akai, you played really well today, you scored more than 20 points!" Chef Wang Yizhou said with a smile.

"Yi Zhou, how do you remember it so clearly?" Xie Meiya asked.

"Boss, I'm memorizing. I basically remember his scores. How about I tell you to listen and see if I remember anything wrong!" Wang Yizhou said proudly.

"Come on, come on, Yizhou, let's talk about it when you go back to the hotel!" Chen Guixiang waved his thick arm, and immediately stopped Wang Yizhou from continuing.

Chen Guixiang pulled Xie Kai aside, and asked with concern: "You were hit by those gangsters in the game just now, is it okay?"

Seeing his mother caring about him, Xie Kai felt warm in his heart. "I'm fine, really, look, I'm fine!" He bounced a few times while talking.

"It's fine. Don't work too hard in the next game. Your body is important. These black people are too strong. I'm afraid you will get hurt!"

"It's okay, I know what's on my mind."

"Come on, let's take a photo together!" Xie Meiya, who brought a SLR camera, organized everyone to take a photo.

In this way, Xie Kai and the folks from the country who came to Staples to watch the game together saved this beautiful moment through photos.

For Xie Kai, this match was perfect enough.If it weren't for Kevin Martin's injury, he wouldn't have had so much playing time.If it weren't for the trust of the coach, he would not be able to reach the end.

The most important thing is that he is desperate. With his status in the world, if he doesn't work hard, he may have nothing...

After defeating the Clippers in an away game, the Kings' record came to 4 wins and 5 losses, which is only one step away from a 50% winning percentage.

After the game, Xie Kai, teammate Udri, and coach Reggie Tois attended the press conference together.

When the reporter asked Coach Tois why Xie Kai played the full fourth quarter, Reggie Tois joked: "He played so well, if I let him off the field, the possibility of losing will increase. Will let me go!"

There was a lot of laughter...

The reporter began to ask Xie Kai, who scored the highest score of the Kings team in the game: "Kane, what made you work so hard on the court?"

Xie Kai thought for a while, and then replied: "If we only talk about this game, I really want to win. I think we have a chance to beat each other, so I will go all out when I get the chance to play. In addition, today my Parents, relatives and friends come to watch me play, and I want to do well in front of them."

"What if it's not just this game?" The reporter's news acumen is quite high, and he immediately asked.

"That is my love for basketball. I regard basketball as the most important part of my life. In order to have the opportunity to play basketball in the highest level basketball league in the world, our family traveled across the ocean to come here."

After the game, because it was a "weak and weak competition", there were not many reports about the game.On the contrary, there are many reports about Xie Kai himself.

Most of the news about him revolves around the points of "Chinese players", "rookies" and "fighting spirit".His image in the media is also positive.
