Superstar Tyreke

Chapter 16 First win of the season
In the next few rounds, Tyreke single-handedly beat Johnson several times. Johnson was smashed by Tyreke in terms of strength, speed, footwork and confrontation.On the offensive end, Johnson gradually lost his mind and wanted to beat Tyreke one-on-one, but the more irrational he played, the more weaknesses he exposed, and the team became more and more passive.Tyreke knew he was going one-on-one, and after seeing through his purpose, he could easily defend him every time, interfering with offense, stealing, blocking shots, and even drawing offensive fouls.In the last attack, Tyreke watched Johnson press himself hard, and wanted to gamble to steal. A cross-step breakthrough directly made Johnson's center of gravity unstable, and he fell on the ground like a dog eating shit!Afterwards, Tyreke, who got a large gap, made a steady mid-range shot and hit two points!

命中这球过后国王队在泰瑞克的带领下打出了一波13比3的攻击波，重新将比分拉开，以47比37领先10分。在这期间泰瑞克一人独得11分，和泰瑞克对位的约翰逊一分未得！
"Jim, it seems that Wesley still has a big gap compared with the king's star. The first half of the game may be like this. The score gap is not very big. Look at the performance of the Timberwolves in the second half."

"Evans deserves to be the best rookie last year, and his strength is indeed higher than that of Wesley. However, Wesley is only a rookie after all, lacks experience, and plays blindly when the confrontation is not dominant. The deepening of the season will improve." Although Peterson thought so, he didn't know that Evans at this time was actually Tyreke, who was playing the NBA regular season for the first time in essence. Playing with on-the-spot reaction and talent, he is not as good as Wesley Johnson in terms of experience. It can be seen that Johnson's basketball talent can only be said to be so-so.

Coach Rambis saw that Johnson was in a quagmire on the field, so he had to replace him. At this time, it was only 1 minute before the end of the first half.In the last minute of the first half, the Kings scored two more offenses, while the Timberwolves continued to slump. At the end of the half, the Kings led 1 to 51 by 37 points. Tyreke played 14 minutes in the first half and performed well. 17 points, 16 rebounds, 4 assists, 4 steal and 1 block.

In the away locker room of the Target Center, coach Westphal dragged a chair and sat by the door of the locker room. He looked at the players sitting around the locker room to rest and prepare with joy and said: "Everyone performed very well, the third Make persistent efforts to win the game in one go! DeMarcus, don't fall into a solo fight, let the ball spin between teams if you can't get in! They have nothing to do with Tyreke, and Tyreke will continue to do it in the third quarter Assist points, others cooperate!"

After Coach Westphal finished speaking, Tyreke looked at Whiteside, who was sitting next to him, with distress written on his face. So far in this game, he has not got a second of playing time.

Tyreke shook his head helplessly. In his own memory, Whiteside only got one chance to play in the Kings in the first season. He was the last role on the bench and was closely accompanied by the drinking fountain all season together.Before this game, Whiteside didn't get many opportunities in the preseason, and his performance in the limited playing time was also very average. It is not surprising that he does not get a chance to play now.

Tyreke thought for a while, got up and walked to Coach Westphal's side, bent down and whispered in his ear, "Coach, give Hassan a chance to play in the second half..."

Coach Westphal stared at Tyreke with wide eyes, got up and pulled Tyreke to the corridor outside the locker room, and said with a slightly displeased expression: "Terreke, I have a plan in my heart as to how to employ people. Players just play and play, and don’t worry about other things. Hassan’s desire for performance is too strong, and he lacks tactical execution ability. I can see that he has a certain talent, but he still has a lot of precipitation.”

Seeing that Tyreek was silent, Coach Westphal stretched his expression, patted Tyreek on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Go back, Tyreke, I know you have a good relationship with Hassan, I'll see the situation .”

At the beginning of the third quarter, Tyreke continued to lead the team to launch a fierce attack. Since the Timberwolves had no one on the perimeter to contain Tyreke, Ridnour, Telfair, Ellington, Brewer and Johnson They couldn't defend against Tyreke at all. Brewer and Johnson couldn't keep up with Tyreke at all, and they didn't have an advantage in the confrontation with Tyreke, let alone Ridnor and Telfair. Defense is not a strong point in the first place, and letting them defend against Tyreke is simply a big colander for Tyreke to ravage!

After Tyreke opened it, the whole team was also mobilized.No one on the outside of the Timberwolves can defend Tyreke alone, and the Timberwolves cannot let Tyreke treat their half court as their own back garden, so they can only choose two people to defend Tyreke.Facing the two-person defense against Tyrek, he did not forcefully play, but actively moved the ball, mobilized the enthusiasm of his teammates, looked for open teammates to end the offense, and actively formed the team as a whole.Soon, the point difference between the two teams was widened. At the end of the third quarter, the Kings had led the Timberwolves by as many as 25 points.

"It seems that the goddess of luck is not on our side today, and the game is basically concluded like this. The 25-point difference should enter the garbage time early in the fourth quarter..."

"Well, Dave, I feel very sorry. The team has changed a lot this year. After all, the lineup is still not running enough. But today we can still see the hard work of the boys. The season is still very long and the team is still very young. , grow slowly..."

"However, Jim, judging from this game, Evans of the Kings has continued the state of last season, and he is indeed very strong."

"It is true from this game, but as I said just now, the season is still very long, and we have to observe slowly..."

As Timberwolves' sideline commentator Benz said, the game entered garbage time shortly after the start of the fourth quarter. The Timberwolves also withdrew their main players early and gave up the game. Whiteside also got a chance to play in the fourth quarter, but It's only 5 minutes too.Because it was garbage time, the team didn't cooperate much. The substitutes tried their best to collect statistics. As a center, Whiteside didn't get much possession of the ball. He only got two rebounds and didn't score.

In the end, the Sacramento Kings beat the Minnesota Timberwolves 103 to 85 and won their first victory of the new season. Tyreke played 30 minutes in the game and scored 29 points, 6 rebounds and 8 assists efficiently, and was elected the best player in the game.Cousins ​​also performed well in his regular season debut, scoring 24 points, 13 rebounds and 3 assists.

For the Sacramento Kings, who were second to last in the Western Conference last season, the joy of victory was enough to overwhelm everything. Even Whiteside, who didn't get many chances, smiled and celebrated with his teammates. Jason Thompson celebrated with everyone At that time, he picked up a bucket of sports drink and poured it directly on Tyreke's head, and he shouted excitedly: "Terreke, it's impossible to pour it on the opponent. , then this bet should be replaced by the person who made the first contribution to our victory!"

Tyreek, who was immersed in the joy of winning, had a drink all over his body, but he was full of joy and didn't care about it. Betting was just for fun, and winning the first regular season victory made Tyreke look forward to the next challenge like never before!
