Chapter 101 Counterpoint DOPY
Before waiting for his teammates to pull him, Xie Kai stood up straight with a carp, and the fans on the scene were amazed.
"This Chinese player, does he know martial arts?" A black girl with heavy makeup was so surprised that her mouth was as big as Guo Furong and an angel baby.
Under the surprised eyes of his teammates, Xie Kai walked to the free throw line.
Xie Kai steadily made two free throws, narrowing the point difference to only 3 points!
The Rockets replaced Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady during the timeout.
The game continues.
For the Rockets, Artest received the ball from the right wing, and Xie Kai was defending him.
There is a huge weight gap between the two, and they are not in the same heavyweight class at all.It's not that the Kings want to do this, but they can't let Bobby Brown, who is less than 190cm tall, go against Artest, right?
"It seems like Kenny has no choice but to let Kane face Ron!" Bill Worrell said with a smile.
"Sacramento's second team doesn't have a high-ranking wing player who can match Ron. Compared with Bobby, Kane still has height and wingspan." Barkley added.
Artest didn't know Xie Kai before, but he also knew that the other party was one of his bargaining chips.He smiled and greeted Xie Kai with trash talk: "Hey, little boy, eat more and grow some meat before you come to fight me! I'm afraid I'll force you back to China!"
"Then you are still standing there bragging, why don't you come over to me?" Xie Kai was not polite, and immediately fought back.
"Okay, you wait!" Artest put away his smile, and simply and rudely forcibly broke through with his right hand!
Xie Kai's lateral movement was very fast and he did not lose his position.
Artest has also lost his speed in recent years since his weight went straight to James.Of course, he has never been good at speed since his rookie days.
Seeing that Artest did not rush over, nor did he change his offensive method, but tried to push the opponent forward with strength.
The Rockets fans at the scene shouted excitedly: "Ron, crush him! Ron, push him out with your big ass!"
Xie Kai stepped back while reaching for Artest's exposed ball.
Artest's weight is close to James, but his ability to protect the ball cannot be compared with the opponent at all.Originally, he was not a forward with excellent ball-handling ability. What he gained a foothold in the league is still his defense.
Artest almost lost the ball. After he got the ball back, he adjusted his thinking, turned his back immediately, and then used his strength to arch inward.
Xie Kai's reaction was not slow. At the moment when the other party arched his back and exerted strength, he fell backwards with a "stained clothes eighteen falls", and then slid 3 meters away on the floor.
——This ball, he had the element of flopping, but it's true that he couldn't stand it.True and false, false and true.
The referee's whistle sounded - Artest offensive foul!
Artest spread his hands, looked at the referee innocently, and complained to the referee that he did not foul.
The referee ignored it. Poor Artest had committed two fouls and could only be replaced by Shane Battier who had just come off the field.
"Ron has only played for less than 2 minutes, and he has already fouled twice, and both of them were committed on Kane. I wonder if this is God's will?" Bill Worrell said.
"Ron underestimated Kane a little bit. This rookie is not the kind of single-minded young man. He is cunning!" Barkley said.
Artest walked past Xie Kai angrily, paused, and said viciously: "You kid flopped, wait for me, I will come up and blow you up later!"
Xie Kai is also not polite: "Wait until you come up and talk about it, don't brag now!"
The reason why Xie Kai was rude to Artest was firstly because the other party provoked him first; secondly because he was the bargaining chip of the other party.Although the transaction is not up to Artest to decide, if Artest hadn't wanted to leave the team, maybe none of this would have happened.
In the next minute or so, the two teams did not have any small climax, and the first quarter of the game was over.
At the end of the first quarter, the Rockets at home led the Kings by 28 points at 25:3.
谢开首节投篮2投1中，其中3分球1投0中，罚球2罚全中，得到4分2篮板2助攻1盖帽。
At the beginning of the second quarter, Artest played again for the Rockets.
Bobby Jackson dribbled the ball, and the frontcourt defense changed from Hyde to Artest.
"Chinese kid, I'm eyeing you, I want to see if you can score under my defense!" Artest said proudly.His defensive ability is ranked first in the entire league. When he was in the Pacers, he even won the best defensive player of the season!
"Charles, Ron is starting to defend Kane!" Bill Worrell said excitedly.
"Ron actually defended a rookie with all his strength. It seems that he suffered a disadvantage from Kane just now and made him angry!" Barkley didn't think it was a big deal, he was the one who liked to join in the fun.
Xie Kai's offensive method is mainly off the ball, and he runs actively, fast and flexible, which is a test for the heavier Artest.His single defense is excellent and his strength is sufficient. In fact, he is very suitable for defending small forwards with outstanding strength like James and Anthony.
But the best defensive player is not someone who has a reputation for nothing. If he is serious, even if he is off the ball, he will defend well, and he will squeeze past the screen.He is not afraid of Xie Kai receiving the ball, and his principle is not to give open shots a chance.If you want to catch the ball alone or make a strong shot, then feel free.
After two rounds, Xie Kai didn't get a good chance to attack.It's just that on the defensive end, his "death entanglement" against Artest also prevented the opponent from getting an offensive opportunity.
"Hehe, Bill, it seems that Ron and Kane are going to fight!" Barkley opened his mouth wide. He liked to see this kind of dialogue.
The confrontation between Xie Kai and Artest brought the confrontation between the two teams to a new level.The Kings are limited in strength, but their second team has energetic rookies and veterans, which is worthy of the opponent.
When the main lineups of both sides came back, the scores of the two teams were actually the same.
It's just that the main lineup of the Rockets led by Yao Mai still has an obvious advantage over the main lineup of the Kings without Kevin Martin.
At the end of the half, the Rockets led their opponents by 52 points 46:6.
谢开半场出战9分11秒，4投1中，其中3分球2投0中，罚球4罚全中，得到6分5篮板4助攻1抢断1盖帽。
During the intermission.
"Kane, is there any problem with your physical fitness?" Kings coach Kenny Knight asked.Apparently, he believes that facing an opponent who weighs tens of kilograms heavier than himself for a long time will consume a lot of physical energy.
"Coach, I don't have any problems!" Xie Kai said firmly.He knows that he is in a very good state now, and his physical fitness is much better than what others think.
