Superstar Tyreke

Chapter 42 Personal Heroism
The two teams started round after round of offensive and defensive battles. Howard, like a tireless superman, overwhelmed the Kings inside again and again, and Tyreke also used breakthroughs again and again to tear the Magic's fragile outside defense.

The Kings insisted on implementing Coach Westphal's intentions, and let Howard play singles, and let him play if he could score. They would rather foul than double-team, and never leave open space for other positions.After Cousins ​​played for a period of time, he let the more defensive Dalembert play and continue to consume. For a while, the internal battle between the two teams was like a giant meat grinder running at high speed.

Howard still played his own strength under such heavy pressure. It is true that he can't guard him. The Kings can only foul frequently to contain Howard's strong attack.At the same time, the rest of the Magic are not fools on the court, and they can also find opportunities to shoot through active movement and Howard's screens.In the matchup with Tyreke, Arenas saw Tyreke's performance today, and his heart was also ignited. He hit two long-range three-pointers in a row, making people vaguely see his former glory.

The Kings responded to the Magic under the leadership of Tyreke. Tyreke continued to enter the interior against the Kings' unremarkable outside defense.Today, Tyreke completely let go of his worries and faced the game with 100% state. All kinds of clever breakthroughs made people hard to guard against. Coach Westphal only left a big center on the court to open up space with the shooter and give Tyreke Rick broke through to create conditions for killing.At the same time, after Tyreke breaks through, he sees the opportunity and distributes the ball to the outside. Pitchers above the three levels of Thornton, Garcia, and Casspi have enough room to shoot from a distance.

The two teams played a beautiful offensive and defensive duel. At the end of the first half, the Sacramento Kings trailed the Orlando Magic by 53 points 59 to 6.

During the intermission, the players returned to the locker room through the player tunnel. In the player tunnel, Thornton trotted from behind to Tyreke who was walking in front. Whiteside, who was beside Tyreke, was about to reach out and stop Thornton. Terek stopped him with a wave of his hand.Thorton and Terek walked side by side, looked at Terek sincerely and said, "Terek, you are indeed very capable, I admit this, but I won't admit defeat either."

Tyreke shook his head with a smile, patted Thornton's shoulder and said: "Marcus, I know you also have two brushes, you want to compare with me, I don't care about it, everyone will have a good time together on the court. Just play ball."

After finishing speaking, Tyreke stretched out his hand to Thornton, Thornton looked at it and stretched out his hand, the two of them clapped their arms together, and then walked into the locker room
Coach Westphal walked into the locker room and started waving to the players to listen to him, "Everyone performed well, Tyreke, you did a good job! Marcus, you play at this pace, and you can shoot again if you have the opportunity , If there is no chance, move the ball more! Everyone will continue to play like this in the second half, and we will see how much waves Howard can make by himself!"

At the beginning of the third quarter, Howard, who was at the peak of his career, was indeed physically strong. After the intermission, he appeared on the court again vigorously. At the same time, he removed Brandon Bass, who had no outside ability, and replaced him with a tall Fortress Ryan Anderson, put up a "Howard-style" lineup with Howard and 4 shooters.

The two teams still continued their duel in the first half, and the scores also rose alternately. Gradually, Howard, who had not played for a second in the game until now, also showed a little fatigue, and Cousins, who was facing him at this time, had already With 5 fouls on his back, Dalembert also had 4 fouls.

"Jerry, the team has played so far in this game, and the Orlando Magic, which is ranked fourth in the Eastern Conference, can be said to be on par. threatening team”

"That's right, Grant. Judging from this game, the team is indeed playing well, and the team is still very young. It can be said that there is still a lot of potential to be tapped! Tyreke's performance today shows that there is indeed The strength of the cornerstone of the team!"

"Hahaha, Jerry, I am a die-hard fan of Tyreke. His performance today really made me happy. Now that the three quarters are not over, he has scored 32 points, 5 rebounds and 8 assists, and his efficiency is not bad. 18 shots In 11, it was really beautiful!" Napier couldn't help but responded happily when he heard Lei Ruiz praised Tyreke.

At the end of the three quarters, the Sacramento Kings trailed the Orlando Magic by 78 points 81-3.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, after three quarters of tight defense, both teams experienced a serious decline in physical strength.At the same time, the two center forwards of the Kings are already on the verge of fouling and leaving the field, and their defensive actions have converged. Although Howard is not as fired as he was at the beginning of the game, he also took advantage of the defender's restraint to play again. After a wave of offensive, the Magic also opened the point difference to 3 points within 8 minutes.

The Kings were forced to call a timeout, and everyone sat on the bench sweating profusely, looking very tired.Coach Westphal dragged a bench and sat in front of the bench facing the players. Just as he was about to set up tactics for the next round, Tyreke reached out and pressed the tactical board in Coach Westphal's hand, and looked up. Coach Westphal said: "Coach, there are only a few minutes left. I'm in good shape today, just give me the ball!"

Hearing what Tyreek said, Coach Westphal didn't expect that Tyreek would suddenly make such a request. After all, Tyreek was still in a deep downturn in the first three games, so he couldn't help being stunned and speechless for a while.

Seeing Coach Westphal's brief trance, Tyreke looked at his teammates and asked, "Brothers, do you trust me?! Is there any problem with playing with me in the last few minutes?!"

"No problem!" Cousins ​​wiped the sweat off his head and blurted out without thinking about it.

"I'll cover you!" Thompson also said.

"Of course no problem! You are Tyreke!" Garcia said.

"Today you exploded, I believe in you!" Even Thornton muttered beside him.

Westphal is a coach who pays attention to the growth of the players themselves. Since Tyreke took the initiative to carry the team, and he also saw Tyreke's state today, Coach Westphal put down his tactics He patted his hands on the board and said loudly: "Give the ball to Tyreke, everyone actively cooperates with Tyreke on the field, and puts the extra energy into defense, man-to-man! Half-court press!"

The timeout ended, Tyreke put down the towel covering his head, got up and looked at the fanatical home fans behind him, the shouts of the fans expressed their vision of celebrating victory at home, Tyreke looked back to the field, this In the last few minutes he will win the game for everyone!
