Superstar Tyreke

Chapter 33 The Butterfly Effect Trading

Tyreke has been absent for three weeks. At this time, he has started rehabilitation training in the district training hall for a period of time, but he still needs to wear protective gear at ordinary times.Meanwhile, the Sacramento Kings have gone through 10 three-game stretches in those three weeks.

In addition to losing to the Charlotte Hornets by a big score at home, they lost to the San Antonio Spurs and the Boston Celtics at home one after another, and they all lost by a big score.After ushering in a three-game losing streak at home, with Cousins' double-double performance, it was difficult to defeat the Utah Jazz at home.Then they were defeated by the Dallas Mavericks and the Oklahoma City Thunder at home one after another. In the following four away games, they only achieved 1 win and 3 losses. At this time, the team's winning percentage has dropped below 5%. With 26 wins and 27 losses, the team's ranking has also dropped to 10th in the Western Conference, with a difference of 8 games from the 2.5th in the Western Conference.

Tyreke was about to go out to the training hall that day, when the cell phone rang in his pocket, he took it out and saw that it was the team general manager Petrie!

Petri's rough voice came from the phone, "Tyreke, how is your recovery?"

"It's not bad, the soles of my feet still hurt a little..."

"Well, you are actively recovering, and everyone is waiting for your return. I called you today to inform you of something."

Petri's voice was a little serious, and Terek listened carefully.

"The team has basically confirmed a deal. We will send Carl Landry to New Orleans for Marcus Thornton of the Hornets. Our team originally lacked scoring in the backcourt except you. point, now that you are injured again, you have seen the team's current performance. And the team's frontcourt is a bit bloated, it's time to seek a change..."

Hearing what Petri said, Tyreke's heart tightened. What should have happened still happened. He couldn't escape the attack of injuries, which triggered this series of transactions. Marcus Thornton still came... …

In Tyreke's memory, Marcus Thornton performed well after he came to the Sacramento Kings and became the king's number one scorer for a while. At that time, he made Thornton a stable starter due to injuries.After returning to the team from injury, his playing time was squeezed by Thornton, and then he swung to the third position... In short, Thornton's arrival may not be a good thing for him!

And now I am repeating my previous fate. Although I have changed a lot of things, I still suffered from the same plantar fasciitis, and now the same team personnel changes...

"Hey... Terek, did you hear that?"

Tyreke, who was lost in thought, was a little dazed for a moment, and he came back to his senses and said, "Oh... oh... Got it, Mr. Petri..."

"Tyreke, don't have any emotions. The reason why I called to tell you is because you are the absolute core of our team, and now you have the right to speak in the locker room. I should tell you about the team's trade. Don't worry, when you come back, the team will still focus on you."

"Mr. Petri, how could I be emotional? Naturally, I have no problem with the team's arrangement."

"Okay, then you have a good rest and recover well, I'm dead."

Putting down the phone, Tyreke knew in his heart that what Petrie said was true or false. He was indeed the core of the Kings team and the first All-Star in seven years, but he was not that important. After all, he was only a second-year player. The interests of the team are always the top priority of the management.

Marcus Thornton was selected by the Miami Heat with the 09th pick in the second round of the 2 session, and then traded to the New Orleans Hornets.In the first season of his career, Thornton gradually gained stable playing time after the dismissal of head coach Byron Scott. After Devin Brown was traded, Thornton took the starting position of the Hornets and was still a rookie. Scored 13 points in a single quarter during the season, breaking the record for scoring in a single quarter in the history of the New Orleans Hornets.

In this season, the head coach put Thornton on the bench, and his playing time has dropped significantly compared to his rookie season, and his personal data has also shrunk significantly.But despite this, Thornton is indeed still an excellent scorer. Now that the Kings' outside firepower is seriously insufficient, Thornton is indeed a good supplement.

Tyreke knew that the deal had been finalized, and as a professional player, he could only adapt to the arrival of new teammates.Tyreke believes in his own strength, and now his status in the team cannot be influenced by Thornton. As long as he continues to perform after his comeback, everything will remain the same as before.

Tyreke didn't think too much about it. Physical fitness coach Lamont Peterson was still waiting for him in the training hall. Rehabilitation training is the most important thing now.

At noon, Tyreke and Peterson were preparing to have lunch when Tyreke's phone rang again, and Tyreke saw that it was Cousins.

"Tyreke, did you receive Carl's text message?! Hey, Carl just left, and he's partnered with him inside for more than half a season, and now I'm really not used to it..."

Cousins ​​has a straightforward personality and shows his emotions on the outside. Tyreke can clearly hear Cousins' tone of regret.

"DeMarcus, I was training just now, and I didn't have time to look at my phone. By the way, I saw your performance at the All-Star Weekend. You scored 40 points in the Rookie Challenge. You are so bullish! Okay, I get it , let me see, hang up first..."

"Haha, it's a performance, it's nothing, hahaha! Hmm... Tyreke, get well soon, I miss your performance on the court..."

Tyreke hung up the phone, looked down, and there was indeed an unread message, which was from Carl Landry.

"Tyreke, I was traded to the New Orleans Hornets by the team. It has been exactly one year since I came to the Sacramento Kings in February 2010 and left now. It is an honor to be your teammate during this year, You have been destined to be a great player since your rookie season. Your contribution to the improvement of the team's record this year is the greatest, and being selected as an All-Star is the best compliment for you. Injuries cannot defeat you. Waiting for your return It will definitely be even more dazzling on the court. But I can no longer fight with you, and I look forward to playing against you on the court in the future. I sincerely wish you, Tyreke!"

Tyreke felt in his heart that Landry is a good player and a good person in life, and he has a good relationship with Landry, and replied: "Carl, a reliable teammate, your strength is obvious to all, Wishing you a better start in New Orleans, brother forever!"

Just this afternoon, the Sacramento Kings officially announced that they sent forward Carl Landry to the New Orleans Hornets for guard Marcus Thornton and part of the cash compensation. Thornton, who came to the Kings, will wear the team's 23 No. jersey.

And the day of Tyreek's comeback is getting closer...
