Superstar Tyreke

Chapter 82 Conquering Orlando

Jimmy Butler played the second position after he came on the field, partnered with Tyreke in the backcourt, and his opponent was Jason Richardson, who was feeling normal at the moment.

At his peak, Richardson was also one of the best shooting guards in the league. He once won two slam dunk titles, and he also staged a black-eight miracle during the Golden State Warriors. Sen is no longer at his peak, but he feels better and still has some extremely strong damage on the outside, and occasionally showing the majesty of a dunk king twice is not a problem.

Jimmy's physical condition is not inferior to Richardson. Although he is a fledgling, Jimmy's defense is already quite stable. He is not very experienced in defense, but his position selection is reasonable and his attitude is correct.

Whenever Richardson got the ball, Jimmy stuck to his side like a candy bar, interfering with his offense like a shadow.Jimmy's defensive concentration is sufficient, and it is difficult for Richardson to get a comfortable shot. For a while, his personal offense fell into a blocked state.

Players and coaches who have a serious attitude, strong tactical execution, and active defense like it. Even if your talent is not too high and your offensive ability is average, the coach will still choose you. Which team does not need a sharp defensive knife?
Jimmy tried his best to mark the opponent on the court. Although Jimmy is not very helpful to the team on the offensive end, his influence on the defensive end is still obvious. Coach Westphal also sees it on the sidelines. , couldn't help showing a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

Everyone can see the obvious performance of a good offense, and a good defense is sometimes unobtrusive.However, through Jimmy's performance in these few rounds, Coach Westphal clearly observed that Jimmy's individual defensive ability is quite good, and his defensive thinking is quite clear.

Coach Westphal rested his chin on the sidelines. The Kings have a super offensive hot spot like Tyreke. There is no need to worry about offensive firepower. Morrow, Udri, Garcia and others on the outside are all offensively strong and defensively weak. The Kings His perimeter defensive ability is not strong, maybe Jimmy Butler can play more time...

Jimmy Butler, who takes every minute of playing time on the field and concentrates on defending his opponent, doesn't know at this time that due to the team's lack of perimeter defense, his defensive performance has attracted the attention of Coach Westphal...

"Matt, the Jimmy Butler selected by the Kings didn't have any outstanding points in the draft. He has average physical fitness, rough skills, and is too old. But judging from his performance after playing this game, His technical level is really not that good, but he does a good job defensively, and maybe he can become a pretty good role player..."

"David, several outside players of the Kings, Tyreke's defense is considered excellent, but he has to focus on offense, Garcia and Caron Butler's defense is also good, but these two Everyone is over [-] years old, and their strength will only gradually decline. The defense of others is really bad. If Jimmy Butler can continue to improve himself while maintaining this level of defense, maybe he can get a starter in the Kings seat"

"This is something to say later, but judging from this game, Jimmy Butler can be regarded as a passable functional player. If this level is maintained, the Kings' selection of him with the 27th pick in the first round is still passable."

Due to Jimmy Butler's good defensive performance, the No. 27 pick in the first round played the rest of the third quarter after he played in the third quarter of the game. After Jimmy misfired Richardson, who was feeling hot, the Kings were Under the leadership of Tyreke and Cousins, Tyreke regained the lead. Tyreke continued to tear the Magic's perimeter defense. Cousins ​​also used his excellent mid-range touch to mobilize Howard's defense, attracting Howard out of the penalty area and thus Create space for the basket.

Until the end of the third quarter, the Kings regained a 5-point lead, and the score was 80 to 75 at this time.

In the final fourth quarter of the game, David West, who played brilliantly in the first quarter, showed his talents again. This is the role of veterans. They have rich experience in the game. The closer to the critical moment, the less likely they are to make mistakes. Just one word, stable!

Relying on his strong body, West frequently squeezed away Anderson, who was facing him, and poured cold water on the Magic fans at home with almost unsolvable mid-range shots.Although the Magic are also playing very actively, relying on Howard's inside power, they have created shooting space for the shooters many times, but the Kings can always respond.

Today's Kings team has indeed improved a lot compared to last season. The two core players, Tyreke and Cousins, have continued their performance from last season.More importantly, the team has a deeper lineup. Even if Tyreke and Cousins ​​​​are locked up or perform poorly, there are still people who can stand up. Today's first game of the season made people see the new aid David. A player with quasi-All-Star strength like West has brought an effect to the team.

In the end, the Sacramento Kings maintained their lead in the fourth quarter. The first game of the new season was an away victory over the Orlando Magic. The final score of the two sides was 110 to 100.

Tyreek performed well in the first game of the new season, and also showed a COSCO shooting ability that was obviously stronger than last season. Although a game cannot explain whether it is a new weapon developed or a temporary fiery touch, but just this game The game still gives people a bright feeling.Tyreke scored 22 points, 4 rebounds and 13 assists in the game, including 6 mid-range and long-range shots and 4 goals.

Tyreke can get 13 assists, a big reason is due to David. West, Tyreke's many passes have been converted into points by West.West played an excellent performance in the first game of joining the Kings, scoring a game-high 36 points and a double-double with 11 rebounds, and was elected the best player of the game at the same time.

And another young cornerstone of the Kings, DeMarcus Cousins, played steadily. Although his score was not high, he controlled the rebounds with West and scored 17 points and 16 rebounds in the game. pair.

The four rookies of the Kings this year also made their debuts in the new season. Faried played 4 minutes and scored 18 points and 8 rebounds.Thomas only got less than 6 minutes of playing time in the second quarter, made 3 of 2 shots, did not score, and only contributed one assist in the whole game.Due to the team's sufficient staffing at the fourth position, Lavoy Allen, the No. 0 rookie in the second round this year, did not get the chance to play.

Jimmy Butler played 16 minutes in his career debut by virtue of his solid defense as soon as he played. He contributed 4 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist in the game. The data was extremely mediocre, but his performance in this game Tyreke, who strongly recommended him, was very satisfied, and played his defensive strengths perfectly. Tyreke believes that Jimmy Butler can definitely start with this defense. Jimmy's future in the Kings must be bright!
