Chapter 86

The Kings ended their 3-game losing streak, but their record is still 5 wins and 8 losses, ranking last in the West, and the gap between the top 8 wins is not small.It looks like they still have a long way to go to join the ranks of teams competing for a playoff spot.

On November 11, the Kings returned home to face the Portland Trail Blazers.

两队目前境遇还是有区别的，一个5胜8负，另一个是7胜5负。最本质的区别就是国王队在西部排名10名开外，而开拓者队目前排名第7。

In this game, the core of the Kings, Kevin Martin, continued to miss due to injury.It was originally expected that he would only need about a week to come back, but now almost half a month has passed, and his comeback seems to be far away.

With Kevin Martin absent, Xie Kai can get more playing time.In this game, he will start the game as the No. 2 for the second consecutive game!

In this game, from the very beginning of the game, the two teams fought fiercely.Both sides come and go, and the score leads alternately!At halftime, the difference between the two teams was only 2 points.

But at the beginning of the third quarter, the stronger Trail Blazers gradually took control of the situation on the court, and after a 3:10 spurt, they gained a clear advantage.

After 3 quarters, the Trail Blazers have widened the point difference to as many as 21 points.

Even though the Kings fought back in the last quarter, they still failed to make a comeback due to the fact that the point difference was too large and their offensive strength was indeed lacking in stamina.

In the end, the Kings suffered a lot at home and failed to usher in a winning streak.

谢开本场比赛出战30分钟，5投3中，其中3分球2投1中，罚球4罚3中，得到10分5个篮板4个助攻1个抢断，没有出现失误，表现一般。

Although Xie Kai started the game, he knew that he had no tactical status, so he positioned himself as the defensive end to do the dirty work, and the offensive end to be the shooter and the team's lubricant.It is impossible for the team to give him a lot of resources to allow him to grow, so the only thing he can do is to seize the limited opportunities and go all out on the defensive end.He firmly believes that his hard work and growth must be seen by others!

On November 11, the Kings visited the Staples Center for the second time this season, challenging last season's overall runner-up Lakers away.

The Lakers currently rank first in the Western Conference with a record of 10 wins and 1 loss. They have great confidence in the championship this season.

In this game, Chen Guixiang and others came to Staples to watch Xie Kai's game as usual.The attendance rate of the Lakers is obviously much better than that of the Clippers. It is no wonder that one is a giant contending for the championship, while the other is a big contender for the No. Probability will choose the former.

It is a pity that Xie Kai did not have the chance to start in this game, which also prevented him from starting for 3 consecutive games.In his place in the starting lineup is backup center Spencer Hawes.

In this way, after the Kings lost the game against the Trail Blazers, they once again resorted to a big lineup with 3 insiders.Because Mitch Moore is still absent, coach Reggie Tois mentioned backup center Hawes to the starting lineup.

Hawes is 216cm, Miller is 213cm, and Jason Thompson is 211cm. These three big men start together. Such a lineup is extremely rare even in the last century or the beginning of this century.

Regarding his return to the bench, Xie Kai has no psychological gap, because he was originally a substitute, but because the core of the team, Kevin Martin, was injured, he had the opportunity to start.But he regrets that it will be difficult to have a lot of time in this game against Kobe Bryant, the best No. 2 in the active league.

He felt that he would definitely learn something from the matchup with Kobe, and even if he was blown away by the opponent, he would definitely not return empty-handed.To sum it up in a sentence in the game, it is: "The masters are all abused!"

In this game, the No. 30 Lakers in the Western Conference had an advantage throughout the game. Kobe scored 24+4+6 in just [-] minutes and easily led the team to victory in the next game.

谢开本场比赛出战24分钟，得到8分4个篮板3次助攻3次抢断1次盖帽，犯规5次。

After the game, the king's coach said in an interview with reporters: "Kevin's absence has a great impact on us. Kobe has no one to guard against him. We have a gap with the opponent in the lineup. The players worked hard, but they didn't get a victory. , It is indeed a pity."

When the reporter asked him why he withdrew Xie Kai and went to the big lineup of 3 insiders, Reggie Tois explained: "The Lakers have two big men, Andrew and Paul, in the inside. In order to protect the inside, I decided to put Spin Seti started. Kane has been good, he defends hard, and Spencer is just for better matchups."

The reporter asked Xie Kai: "Do you have any objections to the coaching staff for not starting this game?"

Xie Kai shook his head and said, "I will resolutely obey the coaching staff's arrangement! Whether it's a starter or a substitute, I will do my best!"

He really didn't say polite words, he didn't have any emotions because of losing the starter, he knew the truth of taking one step at a time, no matter what he was doing, he always had to eat one bite at a time.

The next day, the Kings played back-to-back away games against the Trail Blazers.

This game is a defensive battle, and the Kings still have a lineup of 3 insiders.They fought their opponents to the last moment.

At the critical moment of the game, the Kings trailed by 1 point, and Salmons missed the lore. They regretted the away loss.

After defeating the Hornets in an away game to end their 3-game losing streak, the Kings ushered in another 3-game losing streak.The core of the team, Kevin Martin, seems to be far away from his comeback, so I don't know how long the leaderless situation will last.

On November 11, the Kings played at home against the Brooklyn Nets.

The opponents in this game are not strong teams in the league, but they still attracted a lot of attention before the game.The reason is that there is a Chinese player on both sides, Xie Kai for the Kings and Yi Jianlian for the Nets.

In the NBA, there are no more than five yellow-skinned players in total, which is a rare race, so whenever they appear in a game, there is no lack of topicality.

A business alliance needs topics and attention, so consuming "derbies" between yellow races can achieve very good results.

After Yi Jianlian was selected by the Bucks in the 2007 draft, he played there for one season and was traded to the Nets on June 1 this year.

When it came to the Nets, Yi Jianlian still played in the regular season as the starting power forward. His current performance is stable and he has firmly occupied the first position.
