Superstar Tyreke

Chapter 25 Restart
One day after the game against the Lakers, the team rested in the morning, and in the afternoon all members gathered for training and made tactical arrangements for the next game.After individual special training, all the players were gathered together to listen to coach Westphal's arrangements for the next game.

"Yesterday's loss should be vivid in everyone's minds now. From this game, we can see that the Lakers are indeed far superior to us, but it doesn't matter. They are the championship team and a championship team. Don't feel pressure. There are still many strong teams to face in the future, and we have performed very well. The previous four consecutive victories are not only for you, but also for me, thinking that the team has transformed into a strong team. Until Yesterday, we did not lead the Lakers once in the whole game. This is still because the Lakers lack the main player Bynum, so we have to put ourselves in the right position. We are a growing team. If you lose, you just have to welcome the next opponent.” Halfway through coach Westphal’s words, Tyreke suddenly stood up.

Tyreke looked at Coach Westphal. Coach Westphal knew that Tyreke must have something to say, so he nodded to him. Tyreke said impassionedly to everyone: "Coach is right That’s right, it’s okay for us to lose to opponents like the Lakers, but as a member of this young team, we have to grow through failure, and our goal this year is to reach the playoffs!!”

Coach Westphal clapped his hands and applauded, "Very good, what Tyreke said is exactly what I want to say, we will maintain the state of the previous four-game winning streak, try to win the games that should be won, and it may not be possible to make it to the playoffs impossible!"

"Okay, let's take a look at tomorrow's opponent, the Memphis Grizzlies. The Grizzlies are currently 2 wins and 4 losses, but at the beginning of the season, a few games can't explain anything. This year's Grizzlies are not weak. They are all in their prime, Rudy Gay, Zach Randolph, Mike Conley, Marc Gasol, and OJ Mayo are all very powerful players. At the same time, the Grizzlies' overall defense is excellent. It's a tough bone. Next, I will arrange a few tactical coordination."

In this way, after losing to the Lakers, the team settled their emotions and set off again. The next day, they played against the Memphis Grizzlies. The inside combination made the Kings' inside line stretched, and the immature Cousins ​​was completely restricted.Tyreke and Gay scored against each other. Although Conley's defensive ability against Tyreke was strong, he still couldn't stop Tyreke, and Gay of the Grizzlies also killed all directions.

In the end, the Sacramento Kings narrowly beat the Memphis Grizzlies 98 to 95 by virtue of Tyreke and Udrik's steady free throws at the last moment. Tyreke made 20 of 14 shots in the game and scored a season-high 36 points. At the same time, he scored 8 rebounds and 6 assists , Rudy Gay of the Grizzlies scored a game-high 40 points, but the team still lost.With this game, the Sacramento Kings avoided a two-game losing streak.

After the game against the Memphis Grizzlies, the team rested for 4 days. Surprisingly, the Kings unexpectedly lost the game against their first opponent of the season, the Minnesota Timberwolves, in the last leg of 4 consecutive home games .

The Timberwolves had a record of only 1 win and 7 losses before. This campaign was a guest in Sacramento, and Beasley dominated the game alone, scoring a career-high 42 points, while the Kings team was in a downturn. Tyreke didn't feel good, only 10 of 3 shots. Only got 11 points.This game made Tyreke re-acquainted with the NBA. Those who can play in the NBA are the hundreds of people who can play the most in the world. No one is a real soft persimmon!

2 wins and 2 losses ended 4 consecutive home games and came to Phoenix to face the Suns in this preseason game. The Kings lost again and ushered in the first two-game losing streak of the season.Tyreke performed well in the whole game, contributing 19 points, 8 rebounds and 9 assists in a quasi-triple-double, but the overall performance of the team was not good, and the Suns played a smooth offense under the tandem of Nash, and naturally won the game .

Under the tight schedule of the league, time passed quickly. During this period, he experienced a 4-game home game, and then he was a guest in Los Angeles to face the Lakers. After the game, Kobe took Tyreke to his family dinner and introduced his family. To Tyreke.After playing against the Los Angeles Clippers, the Kings have played 19 games this season.

After playing these games, Tyreke basically got to know the NBA. During this period, he played against strong teams like the Los Angeles Lakers and Dallas Mavericks, as well as underdogs like the Minnesota Timberwolves and Cleveland Cavaliers.I have been to Los Angeles, which is also in California, and I have also been to faraway New York.Experienced winning streak, also experienced losing streak.I have won against strong enemies, and I have also lost to underdogs.I have had wonderful performances, and I have also had a downturn.

The Sacramento Kings have 19 wins and 11 losses in these 8 games and are currently ranked 6th in the West, which has made great progress compared to last season.Driven by Tyreke, the teammates worked hard. The rookie Cousins ​​also played very well. He cooperated directly with Tyreke. He is currently averaging 18.9 points and 10.4 rebounds per game, leading all rookies this season in both indicators, except Blake Griffin, last year's No. [-] pick in the NBA, was delayed for one year due to injury.

In these 19 games, Tyreke averaged 16.5 shots, 21.6 points, 6.3 rebounds and 5.2 assists, shooting 44.5% from the field and 27.6% from the three-point range.As far as the performance in these 19 games is concerned, it is slightly improved compared to last season, but the improvement is not large. However, Tyreke has only played in these 19 regular season games, and there is still a lot of potential to be tapped. There is no room for improvement. not big.

Tomorrow, the team will usher in the Washington Wizards at home. The Wizards are currently in a bad situation. They have played 20 games so far this season, with 6 wins and 14 losses.But because of the opponent of the Wizards, Tyreke was extremely excited all day long.The reason is that there is a man named Gilbert Arenas in the Wizards team. He was Tyreke's favorite star in his memory. He will be playing against him tomorrow. How can he not be excited? !

Although Tyreke has played against many NBA superstars, and even became good friends with Kobe Bryant, but they are different from Arenas. After all, Arenas is Tyreke's favorite One of the reasons for playing basketball, that represents Tyreke's youthful youth!

Tyreke knew in his heart that Arenas had lost his peak strength at this time. The 09-10 season with guns was a turning point in Arenas' career. Tyreke Evans, who entered the league, might be able to tell Arenas not to do that, and maybe change Arenas' career.Although the decline in Arenas' strength was mainly due to his injuries, if he didn't hold a gun, maybe Arenas wouldn't fall like a meteor...
