萨克拉门托国王队有机会在周五晚上战胜夏洛特黄蜂队。黄蜂后卫卡莱布·马丁在点球时莫名其妙地对德阿龙·福克斯犯规，比分为124-123，夏洛特胜出，比赛时间还剩几秒钟。比赛几乎完结了。
…对黄蜂队来说，就是这样。在亚特兰大猎鹰队引以为豪的令人窒息的比赛中，德阿龙·福克斯没有错过一次，而是两次罚球。结果，国王队输了这场比赛。之后，这位明星控球后卫在关键时刻对自己不幸的失态做出了反应。

福克斯以前也有过射击方面的麻烦。在国王队的职业生涯中，他的平均得分从未超过75%。然而，在马丁犯规之前，这位后卫在慈善条纹赛中是一个完美的8胜8负。也许是因为神经紧张，或者是因为他在第一次罚球失误后纠正过度。
不管怎样，已经完成的事情已经完成了。不幸的是，这场比赛以这种方式结束，因为狐狸实际上是国王队在这场比赛中排名第一的主要原因。他17投11中拿下31分，还有5次助攻和4次抢断。相反，粉丝们会嘲笑他在最重要的时刻窒息。
换个环境能解决狐狸的窒息问题吗？也许吧，尽管国王队现在很可能不想放弃他们的控卫。

Kings star De’Aaron Fox gets brutally honest after choke job in loss to Hornets
原文：
The Sacramento Kings had a chance at a win on Friday night against the Charlotte Hornets. With the score at 124 – 123 in favor of Charlotte and a few seconds left on the game clock, Hornets guard Caleb Martin inexplicably fouled De’Aaron Fox while they were in the penalty. The game was all but sealed.
… for the Hornets, that is. In a choke job that the Atlanta Falcons would be proud of, De’Aaron Fox missed not one, but BOTH free-throws. As a result, the Kings lost the game. Afterwards, the star point guard reacted to his unfortunate gaffe in crunch time.

Fox has had shooting woes from the line before. He has never averaged over 75% from the line in his career with the Kings. Yet, the guard was a perfect 8-for-8 from the charity stripe before the Martin foul. Perhaps it was the nerves, or it’s a matter of him overcorrecting after the first missed free-throw.
Either way, what’s done is done. It’s unfortunate that the game ended in that way, as Fox was actually the main reason why the Kings were in this game the first place. He finished with 31 points on 11-of-17 shooting, along with 5 assists and 4 steals. Instead, fans will clown him for choking at the most important of times.
Will a change of scenery cure Fox’ choking problem? Perhaps, though it’s very likely the Kings aren’t keen on letting go of their franchise point guard right now.
