Superstar Tyreke

Chapter 50 "Fishing" in Advance

There was dead silence in the Kings locker room, except for the cheers of the Grizzlies winning on the live TV screen.

Everyone sat there blankly, with sadness, regret, and disappointment written all over their faces.Cousins ​​next to Tyreke even lowered his head, covering his face and weeping.

Cousins ​​was extremely annoyed. If it wasn't for his last catch error in the game against the Grizzlies, maybe the team would have won the game against the Grizzlies, and the team would have been able to qualify for the playoffs. The initiative, now they will be in the playoffs, not the group of people celebrating on TV...

About 5 minutes later, Coach Westphal, who was leaning against the wall, straightened up, walked in front of everyone, clapped his hands vigorously, and said loudly: "Hey, what's going on with everyone! DeMarcus , What are you doing there! There are so many things to go through in the future, and this blow can't bear it?!"

Speaking of which, Coach Westphal turned and turned off the TV and said: "Our performance this season has been very good. Last season we were only second to last in the Western Conference. Now we are only one step away from entering the playoffs. Yes! What a leap forward! I will not feel depressed, I only have pride. The competition in the West this season is very fierce. We have a winning percentage close to 55%. It's just that we lacked a little bit of luck..."

Coach Westphal walked up to Cousins, who was the saddest of all, while talking, patted him and said: "Our team is a young team, and we still have a lot of opportunities. This season If we didn’t make the playoffs, we’ll start over next season!”

After coach Westphal finished speaking, Tyreke also stood up. His eyes were bloodshot with regret, but he knew that he was the leader of the team and he had to cheer up.

Tyreke took a step forward and said loudly: "The coach is right. We didn't make it to the playoffs and we didn't achieve our original goal. This is already a fact, but I think our season has been successful enough. Who would have expected that we, who were weak last season, would be able to compete for a place in the playoffs this season? At the last moment of the season, we will grow again next season and enter the playoffs must be a certainty!"

Coach Westphal walked up to Tyreke, and the two looked at each other. Tyreke nodded to Coach Westphal and returned to his seat. Coach Westphal continued: "Okay, we won't have training tomorrow, and everyone can adjust themselves. The results of this season are like this, but what is more important is the growth of our team this season. Not making the playoffs is not the end of the world, the day after tomorrow There is the last regular season, although it is irrelevant, but everyone still has to play hard to draw an end to the regular season!"

After Coach Westphal finished speaking, he left the locker room. The team's coaching staff and staff also left one after another. The players also went to shower or left the arena in twos and threes. Cousins, with his head on his head, scolded: "DeMarcus, like a man, why are you crying? You have only played in the NBA for a year! It is indeed a pity to miss the playoffs, but we have plenty of opportunities , next season we just get back what we lost!"

Tyreke pulled up the tall Cousins, "Okay, let's go, go take a shower, I'll take you back"

After sending Cousins ​​back first, Tyreke also returned to his home. After arriving home, Tyreke didn't do anything, just lay on the bed, worked hard for a season, and it seemed that he was about to achieve his goal, but suddenly he failed. It is impossible to say that it is not sad to hit the bottom of the valley, and it is really close.
The regret in his heart and the exhaustion of his body caused Tyreke to fall asleep in a daze.
Tyreke didn't go anywhere the next day, and locked himself in his home. Although he hid his emotions to a certain extent in front of his teammates yesterday, when he was alone, it was still a pity to miss the playoffs by one step. will swallow itself up.

Nestled on the sofa in the living room, the warm sunlight fell on Tyreke through the floor-to-ceiling windows. He sat cross-legged with his laptop in his arms, and opened his Twitter. Now he has more than 60 Twitter followers .

"At this time, regret? At this time next year, the king will come to the world."

Tyreke wrote that, without paying attention to the comments of netizens, Tyreke closed his notebook. He told everyone his regrets and determination, and left his regrets on the Internet, but he still wanted to move on.

The last regular season game between the Sacramento Kings and the Los Angeles Lakers was held as scheduled. At this time, the Western Conference ranking of the Los Angeles Lakers has been determined. The last game will not affect their final ranking. Kobe Bryant and Pau Gasol take turns and Did not come to Sacramento with the team, the Lakers visited Sacramento with a starting lineup composed of half main force and half substitute.

In the last regular season, because he had lost the possibility of qualifying for the playoffs, coach Westphal chose to rest Tyreke, Cousins, and Garcia as the three main players, and gave Whitesey at the end of the bench. The opportunity for Germany and others to play.Although Tyreke and others did not play in this game, they still watched the game in suits.

In this game, the fans on the sidelines put up various banners and slogans to encourage the Sacramento Kings they love and support. After the team players played, everyone applauded their performance this season.

"Come on! Sacramento Kings!"

"Continue next season! We can afford to wait!"

"Frustration comes first, glory comes later!"

"The season where the mission is overfulfilled, the next season will definitely be stronger!"

"Tyreke Evans, MVP!"

"DeMarcus Cousins, best rookie! Future superstar!"

All kinds of slogans and enthusiastic cheers from the fans warmed the hearts of Tyreke and all the Kings players.

That's right, this season is not considered a failure. Although there are regrets, it has been successful enough compared to the past.What's more, with the support of the fans, this young team will definitely make a comeback next season!
In the last regular season, the players at the end of the Kings bench had plenty of time to express themselves. One of them, Whiteside, who hadn’t played a few times this season, played 18 minutes in this game. His performance was not surprising. It's still fair to say that in the matchup with Andrew Bynum, he can also limit the opponent to a certain extent. He still showed a certain potential after scoring 5 points and 8 rebounds.

最终国王队在主场以97比100，3分惜败于湖人队，以45胜37负，最终排名西部第9的战绩结束了这个赛季的征程。

It is a pity to "fish" ahead of time without making it to the playoffs, but the future of the team is still worth looking forward to...
