King of the Point Guard Era

Chapter 135 Ending the Journey to the East
Westphal's mood at the moment is as if he went to defeat the Celtics in person. He was so carnival that he didn't pay attention to his original coach image in suits and leather shoes. He led the Kings to beat the Celtics in the powerful period in the North Shore Garden. One of his dreams is not that there is any irreconcilable conflict between him and the Celtics, but that he wants to prove himself in this arena where his career started.

The king's victory over the Celtics is undoubtedly a resounding slap in the face of the media's remarks that "the king can only beat children". He Yixiang scored 32 points, 11 assists and 5 steals in the game. Later, he specifically mentioned that he was not very good in this game. Seeing that Rondo, who refused to accept everyone, willingly conceded defeat, even many media were very surprised.But the next words made many reporters a little convinced: "He's understanding of me is not much different from my own, but facing him, I still treat him as a rookie."

At the same time, Garnett also praised He Yixiang: "This is a very outstanding young man. I saw a figure in him. I believe many people feel familiar with the last one who turned over and leaned back. Be optimistic about this little guy and look forward to the day when he will shine in this league."

Defeating the Celtics allowed He Yixiang to enter the top ten again in the MVP list. At the same time, in the team strength list, the Kings also entered the top ten again.However, this ranking is really poisonous milk. The game against the Heat will be played two days later, because the Celtics have run out of ammunition and food. In only three games, the Kings were defeated by this team. A powerful Heat team directly hit the flower.The king's three cores played for 40 minutes in the last game, but their bodies couldn't bear to challenge two such powerful teams one after another.

He Yixiang raised his sweat-soaked forehead, and looked weakly at the scoreboard on the big screen with his hands on his hips. The bright red 84:106 had declared the end of the game, and the Heat's Big Three had begun. Celebrating the victory, James and Wade were fighting on the bench, Bosh has changed into the clothes he usually wears at ease, and he is no longer needed to play in the next game.The Heat's home game this season is really a devil's home game. They have not lost more than 3 games at home this season.

"Sorry, I seem to have lost again this time." He Yixiang played very average tonight, only 17 of 6 shots, only 15 points and 7 assists, and 4 turnovers.Iguodala became the king's best player in this game, with 26 points, 11 assists and 12 rebounds. This is Iguodala's third triple-double this season, winning the first two , and this time it was a big failure.

Iguodala replied very freely: "It's okay, maybe we can meet them again this season." It can be seen from this game that Iguodala really wants to win, even though he and He Yixiang Cousins ​​​​could win in the last game. Smith fought for 40 minutes, but his performance in this game can basically be said to be the best of the season, but he still failed to lead the team to victory, and the most critical point of the team failed to stand up.

"How did we meet? We've played home and away games this season, right?" He Yixiang's originally low spirits were seduced by curiosity.

"Do you think they're the best team in the East?" Iguodala asked.

"The Bulls haven't played against each other yet, so I don't know, but compared with other teams, they are undoubtedly the strongest. Even the Celtics yesterday are definitely not as good as the Magic that killed us that day."

The next sentence may have a little impact on He Ji. "Then let's work hard! Reach the finals and then go get revenge!" Iguodala said lightly. In this sentence, reaching the finals is as simple as eating and sleeping. You must know the meaning of this sentence But become the strongest team in the entire NBA West!
At this time, He Yixiang's self-confidence in basketball was instantly inspired by Iguodala: "Okay, then let's aim to meet them in the finals!"

The Kings returned to Sacramento with an away record of 3 wins and 2 losses, but this also greatly exceeded the expectations of Kings fans, because four of these five games were the top five teams in the East.Such a high-intensity continuous game is not easy to maintain the state, and winning the Eagles and Celtics is already a surprise.

"I think if the team is at its peak, it will definitely not be empty against the Heat, at least it will not let the Heat win so easily. It can be seen from the last home game against the Heat that we are not that weak."

"I think the salary space of our team is really good. Now it is the lowest team in the league. The two rookie contracts of He and Cousins ​​can be used for at least 3 years, and Iguodala's contract is also considered. It's not particularly big, the other tallest Garcia and Udri have not exceeded 500 million, I am looking forward to this summer."

"The happiest thing is that I finally returned to the home court, so that I can go to watch the game live. The team had two consecutive aways before the All-Star, and five consecutive away after the All-Star. I haven't seen it for 5 days. The team's game is over, and I can't wait for tomorrow's game."

Even the Los Angeles media, which had been unfriendly to the Kings before, couldn't help exclaiming about this young army when the Kings defeated their old enemy Celtics. The team has a lot of space, plus two The rookie already has the strength of the All-Star level in the first year, and their future is limitless.

Attracting strong players, sufficient space, strong strength, a big city, and a good locker room response are one of the most important conditions, and the Kings undoubtedly meet the vast majority. It is conceivable that the Kings lineup plus one An All-Star player will definitely become the number one favorite for the championship.

At the airport in Sacramento, thousands of fans have spontaneously come to pick up the plane, which is very rare in Sacramento in recent years, because before this, the king's results were not satisfactory, let alone the fans I came to pick up the plane, but I didn’t seem to be so active even when I went to the arena to watch the game. After all, in winter, it’s not a very happy thing to brave the severe cold to watch my favorite team and get beaten up in front of my house. But now, the Arco Arena is full of seats for every game. Seeing the team win, the severe cold in the wind and snow is nothing at all.
