King of the Point Guard Era

Chapter 224 New Aid Kenyon Martin
The king's performance in the next game can only be regarded as mediocre. Due to the lack of inside line, the king fell into a hard fight at the critical moment of many games, especially in the few minutes when the inside line of the original third team was on top. Let the other party come and go freely like the road in the morning.

In the last 7 games, the king only achieved a record of 4 wins and 3 losses. Although it still maintains the first place in the league, it is not the same as the dominance of the early days. With the Bulls behind, chasers like the Spurs are not out of reach.

"What is the management thinking, why hasn't it won an insider in the market that is enough to top 10 minutes."

"Now is not the time to save money. At first, I thought that we would have to wait for an opportunity to win the championship, but with the current record, I don't want to wait anymore. Our breakthrough is just this year."

The fans of the Kings have experienced many years of decline. During the rise of the past two years, they can't wait any longer. They desperately hope that the team will strengthen quickly, and they are extremely angry at the Kings management who seems to be indifferent.

In this shrinking season with a hellish schedule almost every month, maintaining physical strength until the playoffs is also what the championship team has to do.

The king's management is also grimacing. It's not that they don't want to strengthen, but that at this moment in the game, players who have a chance in the free market have already been signed away. As for the remaining players, you will definitely be better than Travis. • Outlaw, a third-team player, did better?
When the king was having a headache, good news came from the CBA in China. Kenyon Martin proposed to terminate the contract with XJ in the CBA. This pair of old enemies who had feuded in the first game of the new season.

After the Clippers' losing streak at the beginning of the season, they also gradually improved after running-in. Griffin began to recognize Paul's leadership position, and after that, his own performance was activated by Paul to play better and better. He scored 20+10 and was also selected as the starter of the Western Conference All-Stars.

However, compared with the Kings, the competitiveness of the record is still far inferior. The Kings are the number one player in the league this year, second only to the Big Three Heat in the championship odds list.

And the salary they offer cannot be compared with the Kings at all. They can only provide a contract of 250 million US dollars, but the Kings can provide a contract of 350 million US dollars. For a player like Kenyon Martin who has reached the end of his career , The attraction of $100 million and a championship is far greater than the Clippers' words of "the so-called ability to play in a big city".

Westphal applauded and gathered the Kings who were training, and pointed to Kevin Martin: "This is your new teammate Kevin, who is also an All-Star player. He can bring us a stronger team." vitality."

He Yixiang applauded and looked at the black forward in front of him. He once entered two consecutive finals with Kidd, but the two finals did encounter two historical insiders O'Neal and Duncan.

And he has also become the background board of these two people. O'Neal and Duncan were respectively elected as the MVP of the finals, but this does not mean that this guy is not strong.

The No. 2000 pick in 34 was a representative of the NBA beast power forward at his peak.With the addition of a top point guard like He Yixiang, there is reason to believe that the [-]-year-old power forward can resume his second spring.

As the boss of the team, He Yixiang came forward to shake hands to welcome the arrival of this player. He was also very excited about Martin's arrival. In the last few games, it was not easy to win the four games
"Hello, welcome to Sacramento. When you come here, you can treat this place as your own home." He Yixiang said sincerely, and lowered his posture as much as possible.

But Kenyon Martina was a great rebel in the past, he was indifferent to He Yixiang's friendly hand, and shrugged nonchalantly: "I don't care if I can feel like home here, the reason why I come here More because of that $100 million relationship, or that illusory champion, as for what you think of me, I don't care."

The two veterans, Iguodala and West, frowned at this sloppy look, a bit displeased with what this guy did.

And the violent Cousins ​​couldn't bear it anymore, strode up to him, and asked with a dark face, "What did you say?" Regarding Martin's attitude, if it was towards himself, then it would be better. It can be forgiven, but this attitude is right for He Yixiang, which is simply unforgivable.

He Yixiang quickly pulled him back. As the team leader, he didn't want the team to fight, but Martin still didn't care. Now is the time for you to be on the inside.

Seeing this scene, Westphal had a headache in his head. This guy is a thorn. I don’t know if it is the right choice to let him enter the team to fight the fire. It is very likely that this will break the current good dressing. room atmosphere.

In fact, Martin is not completely a thorn. A large part of his current performance is because he stood up for his big brother Kidd in the Nets. Last year, Kidd was beaten by He Yixiang in the playoffs.

Fortunately, in the following training, Kenyon Martin did not do anything else, so that Westphal finally felt at ease, as long as this guy cooperates in the game, it will be fine to wait for Yi Jianlian to come back and let him play as a substitute Yes, after all, they are just firefighters, so we can't expect a great sense of belonging.

However, in the next training match, Kenyon Martin showed the king another side of him, faster speed than many young power forwards, good jumping, and keen air cutting awareness. The advantages.

And in addition to these, he also has a certain offensive ability with the ball. His combat effectiveness with the ball is very strong, and West can't limit his offense very well on the defensive end.If it weren't for his age, this is a better player than Landry was last year.

Good job. Westphal looked at this guy who seemed to have fallen into a trough in the Nuggets last year. He didn't expect that after playing in the CBA for a while, his combat power is not bad at all.Now he is no longer thinking about how to play after Yi Jianlian returns, but how to integrate him into this team.

Westphal seems to have found a new goal. He is also very serious in the next training game. He wants to keep him in his team and take extra care of Martin in the next training.
