Basketball K God

Chapter 85 First Double Double
For 3 consecutive rounds, sharpshooter Peja Stojakovic has no chance to score, even if his touch is very hot.It's not that his hand feeling has declined, but that he really can't find a chance to make a shot.

No, it didn't catch the ball once.

Xie Kai was almost hanging on Peja, endlessly entangled, close-fitting, and consumed. He would rather pay for fouls than give him a chance to catch the ball.Of course, his fouls are rare because he doesn't really play like crazy.

The height difference between the two is 10cm, and the weight difference is 20kg, but even with such a large size gap, Peja still cannot get the chance to catch the ball.

Peja is not the kind of player that James can take the ball in the backcourt. He is essentially a shooter, so once he cannot get the ball on the off-ball side, his threat will be greatly reduced.

——No one will be afraid of a shooter who can't even touch the ball, even if he is crazy accurate!
The fans of the Hornets are dissatisfied with Xie Kai's crazy defense that completely put down his body. They accused him of using everything to the extreme, and some even insulted him and satirized him because of his skin color.

Xie Kai was on the field, concentrating on it, he knew that the fans of the home team were scolding him, and he didn't care at all.He has been in the United States for so many years, if he still loses control of his emotions by being ridiculed and insulted at this level, then he has been in vain for so many years.

Hornets coach Byron Scott is also quite troublesome. If the Kings let Salmons come and play with Peja, he is not afraid, because their lineup is deeper, stronger, and affordable.But the other party asked a rookie to exchange for their strongest shooter, and the deal was a bit of a loss.

But he really didn't have a good solution. It seemed that in terms of physical strength, Peja didn't seem to be the rookie's opponent at all.

The Kings were overjoyed. The team coach Reggie Tois yelled from the sidelines: "Kane, you did a good job! Keep defending, don't relax!" He felt that he let Xie Kai go and Peja. It's so exquisite. Obviously, Peja, who almost led the team to play a wave just now, is now impetuous, completely out of rhythm by Xie Kai's mad dog defense. Even if he is given a chance, he may not be as good as before. That's how you get started.

The Kings took advantage of the opponent's weak offensive end and took the opportunity to slowly catch up with the score. By the end of the third quarter, they had narrowed the double-digit point difference to only 3 points.

Xie Kai did not score 3 point in the third quarter, but it did not prevent him from becoming the second player in the team after Salmons in playing time in this quarter.

"Charles, do you still think Kane's defense is not good?" Mike Fratello asked with a smile.

"Mike, it's too arbitrary for you to judge the overall defense of this player so simply in one quarter?" Barkley asked.

Mike Fratello knew he couldn't convince Barkley, but he just wanted to stimulate him. It's a recognized fact that this big mouth likes to hype.

The final game will start soon.

The second team of the Kings played very well. In the first 2 minutes of the last quarter, they tenaciously tied the score.In this case, Hornets coach Byron Scott was forced to replace Paul in advance, disrupting the team's normal rotation.

Xie Kai was sent on the field by the coach early in the 4th quarter, because Peja also played early!
Xie Kai entangled Peja as soon as he played.

"You are so crazy, I have never seen a rookie who works harder than you on defense!" Peja said with a smile, and his words did not mean Xie Kai at all.

Xie Kai also replied: "If I don't do this, it may be difficult for me to get such an opportunity!"

After hearing this, Peja couldn't help feeling a little emotional.Yes, it is more difficult for an international player to occupy a place in the NBA than those native American players.Here, you will be labeled with many bad labels for no reason, and your shortcomings will also be magnified.

Xie Kai's energy seemed to never run out. He defended Peja like he played in the last game of his career.

Of course, Peja couldn't be completely restrained by him, but as the game progressed, his physical fitness still had problems.Given his age, even if he admits it or not, he can't change the fact that his peak is already in the king, and he is still very good now, but after all, he is no longer at the peak.

Peja was entangled by Xie Kai for the whole game. In the second half of the final quarter, he finally couldn't hold on anymore. He was not active in running without the ball.

Fist is afraid of being young, even if Peja is not the age to retire soon, but he is not a physical monster, and his physical fitness has already called the police.

Relying on their active defense, together with Salmons' 30 points and the team's 6 players scoring in double figures, the Kings overtook the score before the end of the game, and then maintained their advantage until the end of the game.

Even if Paul hit the terrifying data of 20+15+3+4, he still couldn't help the team win the game.

The Kings defeated the mighty Hornets in an away game with a wonderful game, ending their 3-game losing streak.Their upset victory in this game also confirmed the law of "there are no underdogs in the NBA".

谢开本场比赛登场34分钟，9投3中，其中3分球4投1中，罚球6罚4中，得到11分10个篮板7次助攻3个抢断2个盖帽，当然还有2次失误。

This is Xie Kai's first double-double in his NBA regular season career. His 10 rebounds and 7 assists also set new season highs (8 and 5 respectively before).

Although the hit rate in this game was not high, Xie Kai played to the end of the game.During his "care" time, Peja scored only 5 of 1 shots and only scored 2 points, and also contributed 3 turnovers, which was very different from his previous performance.

After the game, Peja shook hands with old Kings teammates Bobby Jackson and Brad Miller.Later, he found Xie Kai and sent his blessings to Xie Kai: "Kane, you are really great! Your defensive spirit shocked me. I really haven't seen a young man like you for a long time! Keep working hard and you will definitely have your place in the league!"

"Thank you Peja, and I wish you success, I will continue to work hard!" Xie Kai said.

After this game, the Kings ended their 3-game losing streak, and the team finally saw some smiles.Coach Reggie Tois said in an interview with reporters: "It was the hard work of the players that allowed us to win. Basketball will not lie, whoever works hard will be rewarded! Kane performed very well. He is our reversal One of the key players of the game and I'm so proud of him!"
