Superstar Tyreke

Chapter 39 Overcoming Demons
After losing at home to the Houston Rockets, who were one place behind the team, everyone was very depressed.

After the game, Tyreke didn't communicate with anyone, and drove back to his home alone, and lay down on the bed.

Tyreke closed his eyes and clenched his fists. He knew in his heart that his body had actually recovered completely, but when he was on the field, he subconsciously worried about injuries in the face of high-intensity competitions.
"Bastard!!!" Tyreke straightened up and punched the bed hard.

Sitting by the bed in a daze for a moment, Terek took out his laptop and logged on to his Twitter.

Tens of thousands of people left messages for him on Twitter. Some people, as fans of the Kings, still firmly encouraged him, and a large number of people abused him wantonly on the Internet. Tyreke quietly said: Looking at it, there is not much turmoil in my heart. These people are right, and I really deserve to be scolded now!

At this time, Tyreke saw a private letter from Gilbert Arenas.

"Brother, it doesn't seem to be going well recently. Your brother and I are too. I have been traded to Orlando for almost 4 months. Damn, I played OK when I was in Washington before this season. I can only play as a substitute when I come to Orlando! I am really aggrieved! Is my strength not as good as Jameer Nelson and Jason Richardson?

Hey, that's all, if I play as a substitute, I will play as a substitute, but although I am not convinced, I also know in my heart that my current strength is indeed compromised.Self-state is one thing, my physical condition has already made me feel degraded seriously.
Brother, I have been suffering from knee injuries for several years. In the 07-08 season and 08-09 season, I hardly played because of the knee injury in the two seasons. Played well, but I could clearly feel the pressure on my legs myself.

But I never thought that the injury would knock me down completely. Even if I can no longer do what I want on the court, I still want to play with my current body. I think I am completely healthy when I am on the court.

But brother, you are different. You have not experienced a serious injury like me, and you can display 100% of your strength.Don't think about anything when you are on the court. Which player is not injured?You are still young, and your usual scientific training is enough to avoid injuries with a high probability, and you don’t need to care about minor injuries and illnesses at all.Your brother had a knee injury for two years, jumped out of the contract and still signed a 6-year contract worth $1.1 million, hahaha!

Brother, when you get on the court, you just play ball!Your next game is against the Orlando Magic, my brother is watching you on the court! "

"Huh" After reading Arenas' private message to himself, Tyreke sighed, "Gilbert did have a knee injury and played more than a dozen games in two years, although he can feel Even with the decline of my physical function, I am still full of confidence. Playing on the court is to play, and I am completely healthy. Why do I always think about getting injured in the future? It is enough to take good care of my body, why think so much?!"

Tyreke agrees with what Arenas said, playing on the court is to play!

At this time, Tyreke's bedside cell phone rang, and when he picked it up, it was a text message from the team's general manager, Petri.

"Tyreke, the team is resting tomorrow, you come to the team training hall in the afternoon."

Putting down the phone, Tyreke thought it might be because of my performance on the field, forget it, let’s go
The next day, in the training hall of the Sleep Train Arena.

Tyreke walked into the training hall, and he saw two familiar figures, team general manager Jeff Petrie and head coach Paul Westphal, both of whom were wearing Kings warm-up training uniforms.

Seeing Tyreek's surprised expression, Petri greeted him with a smile, "Terek, you are here, come quickly."

Petry patted Tyreek on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Terreke, Paul and I are both players, of course my career is far inferior to Paul's."

Hearing what Petri said, Westphal laughed and said, "Jeff, you are too humble. You are also the one whose jersey was retired, but you are indeed a little worse than me."

Westphal looked at Tyreke, restrained his smile and said, "Tyreke, I asked you to play the third position before. I have my own considerations. But after thinking about it later, I coach the team the most. What I like is to lead everyone to grow up, let everyone discover problems by themselves, and teach others how to fish. Since you have your own ideas, I will not stop them. I should arrange for you to appear on the court that you like. Yours I know the strength, if you grow up well, your achievements will never be weaker than me and Jeff"

Tyreke stared at Coach Westphal, but he didn't expect him to take the initiative to cater to him. Tyreke couldn't help muttering: "Coach, you..."

Petri put his shoulders on Tyreke's shoulder and said with a smile: "Tyreke, Paul also has the opportunity to enter the playoffs this season, and seeing Marcus continue to perform well, I know Paul. He was hired by me. To be the coach of the team, he entered the NBA in the same season as you. He was also a guard. He has always regarded you very seriously. This season you also made the All-Star. Even if you are not in good shape, he also hopes that you can Stay on the court more, all the factors combined, he made such a decision, thinking of letting you play the third position. After that, he also figured out that the future of the team needs you, and this season can keep the playoffs I hope you have a lot of credit, for your own development, your opinion should be considered."

Petry said, walked to the sidelines, picked up a basketball, and dribbled the ball at the top of the arc, "Tyreke, I, like Paul and you, are all guards. I have many regrets in my career. , the biggest regret is that I retired due to injury at the age of 28. Because of a devastating knee injury, I had to leave the league early. Honestly, your injury is not worth mentioning. If I have a plantar tendon Meningitis, I don't care at all, maybe I will play in pain!"

Coach Westphal also walked into Tyreke and said: "Tyreke, my career has been accompanied by injuries all the way. This is something we athletes must go through. When we go on the court and play well, even if we have Injury, treatment and recovery are just that, why think so much!"

Tyreke was shocked when he heard what Coach Westphal said. It was the same as what Arenas said. When you step on the court, you just play!
At this time, Petri made a three-pointer at the top of the arc!
"Bang!"

Pop out!

Tyreke pouted, rushed to the basket, picked up the ball and dunked it on the spot!

"When you're on the court, you're just playing!" Tyreke smiled and shouted at Petrie and Westphal.

Hearing what Terek said, the two looked at each other and smiled, and nodded towards Terek...
