Superstar Tyreke

Chapter 149 Three Fish Belly, Overturned

The first game of the Eastern Conference trip suffered a defeat, and the team also experienced two consecutive losses, but this game against the Celtics did not make those who supported the Kings feel frustrated. Cousins ​​​​began to find Back to form, Tyreke is also as vigorous as ever. The team still has the fighting spirit to catch up when they are behind by a large score. After all, winning or losing is common, and the team's spirit is the key.

In the next three games, the Kings will face the Toronto Raptors, New Jersey Nets and Cleveland Cavaliers respectively. Played once, the Nets and Cavaliers have never played against each other.

After the game with the Celtics, the team flew to Toronto immediately, and will face the Raptors at the Canadian Airline Center Stadium on the second day.

Coming to Toronto, what makes the team even more exciting is that the team's starting power forward David West will return in this game!
West, who was originally expected to be injured for 3 to 5 weeks, is recovering well. After all, it is only a minor sprain. He watched the game with the team about a week after the injury. will return to the field.

In the Canadian Airline Center Stadium, the Kings lined up the starting lineup of Tyreke, Jimmy, Casspi, Faried, and Cousins. Since West was coming back for the first game, Coach Westphal put him in the lineup. On the bench, come off the bench to find the feeling of the game.

The last time they played against the Raptors was the first game after the All-Star Weekend. In the absence of Cousins, the Kings, who fought with Tyrek single-core, beat the Raptors at home. Playing against each other again, the Raptors still put on the same starting lineup as in the last game.Although it was at the home court of the Raptors this time, the Kings without Cousins ​​could easily defeat the Raptors. With Cousins, the Raptors would naturally be even more powerless to fight back.

In this game, Cousins ​​has completely recovered the state before the injury. Facing the fragile inside of the Raptors, Cousins ​​has turned into a beast inside. Aaron Gray, Jamal Magloire, Amir Johnson, Ed Davis, all the insiders of the Raptors have nothing to do with Cousins. They are stronger than you, have better skills than you, and have farther shooting range than you. They are completely inferior by several levels. How to play?In the whole game, Cousins ​​scored 33 points and 23 rebounds in a super large double-double, and the number of rebounds broke his career high record.

In the second quarter, under the applause of the Kings' bench, West returned to the court. West only played 22 minutes in this game, but West's state is obviously good. He played 9 times in the league. West has experienced too much in the past year, and minor injuries like this have long been used to it. After returning to the court, West quickly found his own rhythm of playing. In the limited playing time, he scored 16 points and 7 rebounds.

Tyreke played very easily in this game. With Cousins' full play, the game lost suspense early. In this kind of game, Tyreke's desire to attack is not very strong. The fourth quarter is only at the beginning In the stage, he played for 2 minutes and then took a rest. He contributed 18 points, 2 rebounds and 9 assists in the whole game.

In the end, the Kings took a victory in Toronto and ended their two-game losing streak.

After the victory over the Raptors, the team got two days of rest. After a one-night stay in Toronto, the team came to the next game, Newark, New Jersey.

The Nets had a record of 14 wins and 27 losses before this game. They are currently ranked 11th in the Eastern Conference. They are definitely not a strong team. The All-Star guard Deron Williams who joined the team last season will play this game Absent due to injury, the Nets' starting lineup will be Jordan Farmar, Marshan Brooks, DeShawn Stevenson, Sheldon Williams, Chris Humphries, without De Long, the staffing of the Nets can be described as extremely civilian.

In this game, West also returned to the starting lineup. The Kings' five regular starters are only Caron Butler at position [-] who is still recovering from his injuries. From the book's point of view, the Kings team is much stronger than the Nets. a notch.

However, in this game, the seemingly civilian Nets exploded with amazing energy in the Putian Shou Arena.

Marshan Brooks, who is also an 11th rookie with Jimmy, is in full form. The game feels surprisingly good. Farmar's awareness on the court is not bad, but he is not an excellent organizer. The Nets It can be said that there are no rules in playing, but this is just suitable for a chaotic fighter like Brooks.

Brooks scored 16 points on 11 of 23 shots in this game. Several unreasonable goals made coach Westphal sigh helplessly on the sidelines. Except for Brooks, all five starters of the Nets scored in double figures.

The dunk king Gerald Green, who was signed by the Nets with a 10-day short contract two weeks ago and then renewed a second short contract, also performed well off the bench. Green, who has not appeared in the NBA for two consecutive seasons Obviously, there is a feeling of being reborn from the ashes. With nothing to lose, he played extremely hard. In this game, he felt hot and made 8 of 4 three-pointers and scored a game-high 26 points.

Looking at the Kings in the away game, maybe it was because of the fatigue of the journey, or maybe they underestimated the enemy. The whole team of the Kings played quite loosely. 21 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists, no one in the team scored more than 13 points.
In the end, the Kings lost to the New Jersey Nets in an upset at the Putian Shou Arena, losing 4 of the last 3 games.
Fortunately, the Kings adjusted their status in time in the game against the Cleveland Cavaliers one day later. Facing the Cavaliers led by the 11th champion Kyrie Irving and veteran Antawn Jamison, the Kings did not give them any chance. , leading the Cavaliers by 12 points in the first quarter. From the middle of the second quarter, the Kings have always maintained a lead of more than 20 points. Irving, who had just entered the league, was completely unable to perform. Irving only shot less than 3% of the game. Fortunately, Jamison performed steadily. He made 7 of 4 shots from beyond the three-point line and scored 28 points in the game. Otherwise, the Cavaliers must lose even more ugly.

泰瑞克、考辛斯、韦斯特三人得分均过20，泰瑞克拿下26分8板10助的准三双数据，国王队以110比89大胜骑士队结束了连续4场的东部之旅，2胜2负的战绩算不上理想，但也并非是不能接受，5连客的最后一战才是国王队真正的考验。

Because they will face the Oklahoma City Thunder again!
