Coach Westphal arranged for today's pre-match training in the afternoon. Early in the morning, Tyreke came to the training hall, because his mind was full of the game against the Oklahoma City Thunder, and he was not in the mood at home. rest.

Walking into the training hall, Tyreke was surprised to see that Cousins, Casspi, Udrih, Dalembert, and Thornton had all practiced in the training hall.

"Hey, Tyreke, you're here too!" Cousins, who was practicing shooting, saw Tyreke coming in, and walked towards him with a smile while holding the ball.

"DeMarcus, why are you here so early? Today's pre-match training is in the afternoon?"

"Hey, the last two home games are over, and I have nothing to do at home, so I came early to practice my hand feeling. It's not too early for me. Well, Omi came to the training hall around 5 o'clock." Cousins shrugged and said.

"Well, me too, I'm always thinking about the game, let's go, I'll practice with you for a while." Tyreke patted Cousins ​​and went to change his training clothes.

The team's penultimate regular season game of this season is about to begin, and this game is extremely important , The team must strive to win with all their strength to qualify for the playoffs. I am also very nervous now."

"Yes, Grant, I'm as nervous as you are. This game can't be won, and this season is over for the team. But even if you win the Oklahoma City Thunder, once the Memphis Grizzlies beat Portland Trail Blazers, regardless of the result of the last regular season game, the Memphis Grizzlies will enter the playoffs and the opponent in this game is the Oklahoma City Thunder. They are fourth in the Western Conference and extremely young. They have grown into a team with both strength and potential. This season's head star Kevin Durant won the scoring title for the first time last season and is expected to win the scoring title again this season. La Sal Westbrook has also grown into a star player in the third season of his career. This season, he replaced the injured Tyreke to participate in the Los Angeles All-Star Game.

Cousins' jumping ability far surpassed Perkins, who was as burly as a wall, and the ball Calling Thompson, Tyreke behind him asked for the ball quickly, Thompson handed it to Tyreke, and the Kings took the lead in attacking!
Tyreke dribbles in the frontcourt. His main defense is the outside gate who won the best defensive second team last year, the Swiss Sefolosha, known as the Swiss Army Knife.Sefolosha is tall and has long arms, excellent defensive skills, and rarely makes mistakes. He is a rare perimeter defender.At the same time, his outside partner Westbrook also has a good defensive strength, and Tyreke's offense will face huge defensive pressure today.

Tyreke stared at Sefolosha, shaking continuously outside the three-point line to seek a breakthrough opportunity. Sefolosha swung his long arms and stood steadily. Tyreke couldn't find a breakthrough space for a while.

At this time, Cousins ​​took the initiative to ask for the ball in the low post. Tyreke lobbed the ball to Cousins.
