Chapter 88 The more afraid of losing, the more you lose
The fans at the Sleep Train Arena, home of the Kings, screamed and cheered endlessly.

For the same 2 points, dunks improve the atmosphere and team morale much more than ordinary layups and mid-range jumpers.

With Xie Kai's 4 points, the Kings tied the score at 18!Nets coach Lawrence Frank requested a timeout!
Craig Sagel said with a smile: "I didn't expect that it was Kane who came off the bench to stop Brooklyn. I don't know if Reggie will adjust the lineup in the second half and stop playing that awkward 3 inside lineup!"

"I don't think it's very likely. It's a matter of the next game to make adjustments. Reggie is not the kind of coach who will not play cards according to common sense, and this is just a regular season. The game is not over yet. If you change the pre-match Arrangement, maybe the players will have an idea." Mark Jackson said.

Pause back, the game continues.

The Nets made an arrangement. In order to help Carter get rid of Xie Kai's entanglement, they made two off-ball screens for him, and finally got the chance to catch the ball.

Carter got the ball from the left wing, facing Xie Kai's defense, changed direction and broke through with the ball.His breakthrough moves are not complicated, and the first step is not really that fast, but he has sufficient strength, steady steps, and very solid technique.

Xie Kai tried his best to stay in front of Carter and prevent him from cutting into the basket easily, but when he confronted the opponent at this time, he found that his strength was still far behind the opponent.

Xie Kai kept retreating, Carter only killed the basket and forced a layup, which caused his second foul!
It was a shooting foul and Carter had to execute two free throws.

Xie Kai was a little helpless, he did not lose his position just now, but the other party activated it, and he couldn't force the other party to slow down.

Kings coach Reggie Tois had no choice but to replace Xie Kai with Quincy Dolby.

"Kane played well, but he was in foul trouble!" Craig Sager said with some regret.

"Yeah, there's nothing you can do about it. There's a clear difference in strength between him and Vince. After Vince rushed up, it was really hard to stop him. Just now, Jason's defense was a bit slow. At this time, he should assist earlier. Defense, forcing the opponent to distribute the ball while moving, and then rotate or cut off the pass route.” Mark Jackson explained.

Xie Kai sat on the bench and wiped the sweat off his face with a towel.At this time, the team staff handed over a glass of water, and he took it and drank it after thanking him.

Of course he didn't want to leave the field. He was in good form, but because of a foul problem, he could only stay on the bench and watch others play. This feeling...is really uncomfortable.

From the first quarter until the end, Xie Kai did not get a chance to play.In the last 2 minutes of the first quarter, the Nets played a 6:0 spurt and ended the first quarter with 29:23.

"I don't know if it's a coincidence or something. Sacramento looked a little passive after Kane left the game! The score is also behind!" Craig Sager said.

Mark Jackson nodded and said: "Kane is a rookie. I have watched him play several games. Even if he can't score a lot on the field, he never lags behind on the offensive end. Devotion to the defensive end will make the team work harder." , this should be the power of the spirit!"

In the second quarter of the game, Xie Kai was dispatched to play!
Xie Kai knew that he had committed two fouls, but he didn't care.I was originally a substitute player. If I was worried about this and that because of fouls, then at least on the defensive end, if I couldn't maintain my strength, then my effect on the team would be reduced by half.

The more afraid of losing, the more you lose, Xie Kai knows this truth!

Kenyon Dooling dribbles over and breaks out to Ryan Anderson.

Ryan Anderson continued to break through after feinting, and then divided Du Lin.

During had a deep understanding of the team's "Dribble-Drive offense" (Dribble-Drive offense), continued to break through, and passed to Sean Williams under the basket in seconds, who caught the ball and dunked with both hands!
The Nets extended their lead to 8 points!
Some Kings fans at the scene were very dissatisfied with the team's poor performance, and some even booed.It's not that they don't know that the team's current strength is poor, but they just can't tolerate the team's poor performance.

For the Kings, Xie Kai received the ball from the left wing and gave it to Hawes under the basket, but the latter didn't hold it steady-a mistake!
The Nets quickly counterattacked, and Du Lin made a quick stop jump shot and added 2 points, opening the point difference to 10 points!
The Kings requested a timeout!

"Sacramento was a little stunned by the opponent!" Craig Sager said.

"The rhythm of the game is in Brooklyn. I think Kane can choose to attack by himself sometimes. He is too low-key and too team. I don't know if this is the influence of the team basketball he brought when he played in the NCAA." Mark Jackson said .

Pause back, the game continues.

Bobby Jackson dribbles to Bobby Brown.

Bobby Brown broke through with the ball, forced a layup and was blocked!

Ken Yang Dulin started directly from the backcourt after receiving the ball, overtook the old Bobby Jackson, and made a strong layup-Xie Kai, who was caught up from behind, nailed the board!

Xie Kai grabbed the ball and quickly divided it with Bobby Brown in the frontcourt. The latter made an easy layup!
"Good shot, the passing idea after the block is too clear, and there is no rush to dribble!" Craig Sager praised.

The fans of the home team at the scene finally got a chance to cheer, and finally there was applause in the huge arena.

"Good pass, Kane!" Bobby Brown shouted at Xie Kai.

Xie Kai smiled.

Du Lin's side suddenly scored outside Ryan Anderson, and the latter shot a 3-pointer-the bullet came out of the frame!

Xie Kaifei received the rebound, came over with the ball, and suddenly started to kill, which made the Nets' defensive teammates somewhat unexpected.Because he rarely attacks with the ball himself.

Xie Kai entered the opponent's hinterland and caused the opponent's defensive foul!

"Kane hit one by himself out of the blue, and Brooklyn is a bit surprised!" Craig Sagel laughed.

"If it were me, I would be surprised too. Think about it, if a player who doesn't hold the ball suddenly runs into the backcourt, if I were a defender, I wouldn't know whether to defend him from a breakthrough or a shot!" Mark Jackson laughed.

The Kings attack in the frontcourt!
Bobby Jackson used the screen to give the empty cut to Xie Kai.

Xie Kai cuts in, attracts double-teams, and then divides the arc to top Hawes!
"Great opportunity!" Craig Sagel exclaimed.

Hawes raised his hand and made a steady 3-point shot-yes!
The Kings narrowed the point difference to only 5 points!
There was joy at the scene!The Nets are suspended!
"Is Kane's passing skill underestimated?" Craig Sager looked at Mark Jackson and said with a smile.

"I think yes, his ability to hold the ball is also underestimated." Mark Jackson added.
