Superstar Tyreke

Chapter 137
After Tyreke won the best of the month in the Western Conference in February, the major media rushed to report. The local media in Sacramento even praised Tyreke to a very high status. This season's performance is at least comparable to that of Kings star Peja Stojakovic who retired 3 months ago.

Peja Stojakovic spent the first 8 seasons of his career in the Kings. He witnessed the glory of the Kings in the early 21st century. Winning the championship, there is a high probability that the Kings will retire his No. 3 jersey.

Fans believe that Tyreke's personal achievements in the first three seasons of his career are not inferior to Peja, who has a 3-year career, except that he has not yet entered the playoffs.However, the team has great hopes of entering the playoffs this season. If Tyreke can lead the team to perform brilliantly in the playoffs, it can indeed be said that Tyreke's Kings career can overwhelm Peja.

In the early 21st century, Chris Webber, the core of the Kings team whose attack was like quicksilver, was the epitome of the last peak period of the Kings. Webber's Kings career was great enough, but the more fanatical fans of Tyreke have firmly believed in Tyreke's status. Already higher than Webber, it can be called the greatest star of the Kings since the 21st century.Tyreke fans think that unlike Tyreke's Miao Genzhenghong, Webber was not cultivated by the Kings after all, and Tyreke is now the key figure who has led the Kings team, which has been in a trough for many years, to a revival, and has a very high opinion in the hearts of Kings fans. Tyreke's steady improvement in the first 3 years of his career is enough to show his potential to become a superstar. He is only 22 years old and he can reach a higher level. His influence in the team is not inferior now. At the peak of Webber, he is bound to be stronger in the future. It is not surprising to say that he is the greatest star of the Kings since the 21st century.

However, Tyreke does not have the mind of the fans to compare himself with those famous names in the history of the Kings. That is after his career is finalized. a match.

The Kings will welcome the Denver Nuggets at home a day later in the next game, and the last time they played against the Nuggets for the first time this season at the Pepsi Center in Denver, the Kings lost Cousins.

At this time, nearly a month has passed since Cousins ​​was injured. Cousins ​​and West are close to coming back at this time. Cousins ​​is recovering quickly. He has started training with the team before the All-Star Weekend. Ron Butler's recovery from his injury is also optimistic. It is expected that he will be able to return to the court by the end of March and early April.

In today's team training, Cousins ​​also stood in the crowd when Coach Westphal's team was conducting confrontation training.

"Everyone, let's fight in groups later, DeMarcus is also participating today, Tyreke, Anthony, Francisco, Jason, DeMarcus, your group, Isaiah, Benno, Omi, Kenneth , Hassan, you are in the same group." Coach Westphal arranged loudly in front of the crowd.

Tyreke was wearing a black training vest with sweat on his forehead. He tilted his head and smiled at Cousins ​​who was also wearing a black training vest beside him: "DeMarcus, you are going to return to the court so soon, yours It heals pretty quickly."

Cousins ​​laughed and teased: "During the time I was away, you stole the limelight, scored the highest score in team history, almost won the All-Star MVP in the All-Star Game, and the best of the month in the Western Conference in February is also yours." , but I didn't even participate in the Rookie Challenge. I didn't make it to the Rookie Challenge this year, so I won't have a chance next season. I haven't won the MVP of the Rookie Challenge yet. If I don't come back, I'll just watch you shine I'm going to be jealous to death"

After Cousins ​​finished speaking, the two looked at each other and smiled. Tyreke hugged and said: "Welcome back, DeMarcus, I look forward to joining forces with you again in the official game!"

Cousins, who participated in confrontation training for the first time after the injury, played pretty well. Facing Whiteside, Cousins ​​showed a good touch. After receiving two consecutive passes from Tyreke, he hit Whiteside with a low back. Scored a goal with a turnaround jumper.At the same time, the high-level support has also done a good job, but compared to the state before the injury, it is still not as good. After all, there has been no confrontation for nearly a month, and a certain amount of adaptation is needed. Coach Westphal also told everyone that Cousin Adams will play the next game against the Nuggets.

On the day of the game against the Nuggets, Cousins ​​participated in the pregame press conference with coach Westphal and Tyreke.

The reporters at the press conference were also very active. After all, Tyreke's recent performance was shocking, and Cousins ​​also ushered in a comeback. Everything was full of topics.

"Mr. Evans, Cousins, the team's second scoring point, has returned to the game. You are currently in a hot state. Regarding the return of Cousins, do you think it will compress your possession and affect your performance on the field? "

"Everyone can see the strength of DeMarcus. His return is definitely a booster for the team. The chemical reaction between me and DeMarcus is quite good. His return will make me feel better. It’s easier to play on the court.”

"Mr. Cousins, you were injured in the game against the Nuggets. Your first game back on the court is to face the Nuggets again. What do you think of this game?"

"Well, it doesn't matter who the opponent is, what matters is that I am back on the court, on the court, and putting myself into the game is what I have to do"

"Mr. Westphal, may I ask what changes will be made to the team's formation when Cousins ​​returns to the game?"

"DeMarcus will start the game, but his playing time will be limited. I hope his playing time can be controlled between 20 and 25 minutes. After all, this is his first game after injury. You also know the importance of DeMarcus to the team. We still need to protect him and focus on adjusting the state of the game. However, in the previous team training, DeMarcus performed well overall. I believe he will play well today. I can make my own contribution to the team in the game..."

The reporters still enthusiastically asked the three people questions. The pre-match press conference ended for about 50 minutes. Tyreke is also looking forward to this game. Now the team has entered the second half of the regular season At this time, Cousins ​​can return to the team in time, even earlier than expected, which is indeed great news for the team. The Kings will also start the regular season while welcoming Cousins ​​back. The second half of the sprint!
