Basketball K God

Chapter 52
As soon as the first quarter of the game came up, Artest, who faced his old club, was not soft-hearted. He quickly found his offensive touch from inside and outside shots, leading the team to a small climax.

Brooks, who started the game, also felt hot, making consecutive hits from the outside.

With the excellent performance of the two teammates, Yao Ming's desire to attack was not strong in the first quarter, and he kept creating opportunities for his teammates.

Xie Kai didn't replace his teammate Kevin Martin until 3 minutes and 02 seconds left in the first quarter!
At this time, the Kings were already 13 points behind the Rockets at 24:11.

Bobby Jackson dribbles the ball to Jason Thompson in the low post.

Jason Thompson faced Carl Landry, who was much shorter than himself, but couldn't get in.In desperation, he could only choose to pass back to Bobby Brown on the outside.

Bobby Brown played the pick-and-roll with the ball, but he didn't find an opportunity. The offensive time was running out. He forced a wave of singles and shot a jumper-no!
Xie Kai crazily rushed to grab the offensive rebounds, but met the old fox Brent Barry, who suddenly showed the stunt of "staining clothes and eighteen falls" at the moment of physical contact with him!

The referee was fooled and whistled for Xie Kai to grab a rebound and push for a foul!

Xie Kai complained and tried his best to explain to the referee that he did not foul.

But the referee was unmoved and warned him to give T!

Xie Kai suffered a dark loss, so he could only retreat in resentment, feeling very upset.He really wanted to express himself in this game, but he didn't expect to suffer a dark loss as soon as he came up.

For the Rockets, Weaver missed a 3-point jumper!
Xie Kai grabbed the rebound, counterattacked with the ball, and quickly went to the basket with a one-stop attack. He was completely blinded, and through Bratt Barry, he jumped-ready-dunk!
Blattbari did not completely stand firm on his feet, but he was on the breakthrough route of Xie Kai, and continued to "stain his clothes for eighteen falls", and fell down...

"Beep beep—" the referee's whistle sounded again——

All the players present looked at the referee, and the referee made an offensive foul gesture!

Xie Kai became angry instantly. He felt that the referee was targeting him. He quickly got up from the floor. Just as he was about to argue with the referee again, he was hugged by veteran Bobby Jackson.

Bobby Jackson knew that Xie Kai had been targeted by the referee in these two rounds, and played by the old fox Barry, but there was nothing he could do about it.

In the NBA, every move of a rookie is under the watchful eyes of the referee. You are not a star. If I don’t arrest you, who will you arrest?Not to mention that foreign players like Xie Kai are not expected to be seen at all, let alone being targeted. Once you catch one, you will do nothing to me.

In theory with the referee on the court, the only one who suffers is himself.

There was a substitution adjustment on the sidelines, and Xie Kai was replaced by teammate Spencer Hawes.

Dorsey, who was on the Rockets' bench, looked at Xie Kai sympathetically and sighed secretly.He understands the other party's mood very well. He knows how much Xie Kai wants to express himself, to perform well, and to prove that he is not just a bargaining chip.Xie Kai is not a pushy person, but a person with strong self-esteem.

Xie Kai had nowhere to relieve his depression, and the staff handed him a sports drink, but he also refused.He played back and forth for less than 1 minute, and was replaced for two fouls. The depression in his heart was obvious.

On the court, the performance of the Kings is still not much improved. Facing an opponent whose strength and momentum are obviously superior to them, they seem helpless.

At the end of the first quarter, the Kings trailed the Rockets by 13 points.

Xie Kai sat on the bench with a towel covering his head so that people could not see his true expression.He was really on pins and needles right now, but there was nothing he could do.He was very impatient and wanted to kill the enemy immediately, but he had already committed two crimes, so all he could do was wait.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Xie Kai was dispatched by head coach Reggie Tois.

Bobby Jackson dribbled the ball and gave it to Xie Kai.In the bench lineup, he is the one who supports Xie Kai the most.

Xie Kai was very grateful for Bobby Jackson's support, holding the ball with the help of Hawes' cover, forcibly walking the bottom line, and breaking through Jason Thompson.

But—unfortunately, this ball was seen through by the opponent's "magic bird" Landry!

Landry reached out and cut off Xie Kai's pass, and immediately distributed it to Weaver, who caught the ball and advanced forward quickly.

The Rockets' bench lineup has a fast offensive speed, and they don't have to worry about big men, because big men are quick to play.

Brent Barry received Weaver's point ball on the left wing. He didn't shoot immediately, but made a shot fake!This feint was extremely realistic, and it simply integrated the technical essence of his so many years of career!
Xie Kai turned back too fiercely, the brakes were not timely, and a "rear-end collision" knocked Barry to the ground fiercely!
Even though he was prepared, but Xie Kai's inertia was too great, and Barry couldn't unload his strength, just like a swimmer entering the water at the beginning of a swimming competition.

foul!

Thanks for the 3rd offender!
Xie Kai, who made fouls as easy as drinking boiled water, was replaced by coach Reggie Tois again.

In the first half, he quickly accumulated 3 fouls in less than 3 minutes of playing. This was Xie Kai's worst performance in the first half since the preseason.Coincidentally, these three fouls were all committed by veteran Brent Barry.

Xie Kai was beaten down, but Brent Barry didn't feel well either. Just now Xie Kai slammed him from the front and back continuously, which made his old bones feel like they were knocked apart.He also applied for a rest and adjusted to avoid injuries.

Xie Kai, who was sitting on the bench, was very depressed and in an extremely bad mood.The night wasn't kind to him, and it felt like years on the bench.

In the first half of the game, the Kings were always under pressure from the Rockets. Even though Battier and Tracy McGrady didn't play, the home team still showed stronger strength than the opponent.Artest, who joined this summer, is very enthusiastic about playing against his old club. It really feels like "beating a dog in the water with a stick".

At halftime, the completely vulnerable Kings were 19 points behind the Rockets.Whether it is from the score or the scene, the Rockets at home are a complete victory.

The Rockets fans at the scene watched the game bored, and some even dozed off.

The intermission was over soon.As soon as the game started in the third quarter, Kevin Martin, John Salmons and others on the Kings side began to exert their strength, reducing the score to 3 points.

Xie Kai, who made 3 fouls in the first half, didn't play until the end of the third quarter, and finally scored 3 points through free throws.

In the last quarter of the game, Xie Kai didn't perform much, and was soon replaced by head coach Reggie Tois, ending his entire journey in the game.

The Rockets playing at home finally relied on their better performance to beat the visiting Kings at home, ushering in two consecutive victories in the preseason.

Xie Kai's performance in this game was sluggish. He played 12 minutes and made 3 of 0 shots, including 3 of 1 three-pointer.
