King of the Point Guard Era

Chapter 39 Cousins ​​Trial Incident

However, He Yixiang hadn’t been happily playing in New Jersey for a few days. He Yixiang received a call from Su Ruoxuan. There was something wrong with Cousins’ trial training, and something happened to his best brother. To the Minnesota Timberwolves, who hold the No. [-] pick, they are trying out.

After arriving in Minnesota, I saw Su Ruoxuan who was angry and Cousins ​​who was scratching the back of his head in embarrassment next to him. It seemed that Cousins ​​had caused a lot of trouble this time.

"What's wrong? What happened?" He Yixiang only knew that the trial training was not going well, but he hadn't figured out the situation yet.

Su Ruoxuan rolled her eyes and glanced at Cousins: "Ask him, I can't say what my players feel about this." He Yixiang looked at Cousins, who just smiled and said nothing, obviously knowing If I got into trouble, I can delay it for a while.

"This guy did very well in the trial training just now. Coach Rambis also praised him very much. He intends to use the No. 4 pick to win him, but he said, if the coach chooses me, is he going to trade Al Jefferson? Go? Go change to a high pick and pick He Yixiang? Tell me, is he going to be a player or a manager?" Su Ruoxuan glared at Cousins ​​who was smirking angrily.

While listening to Su Ruoxuan's indignant complaints, He Yixiang exclaimed in his heart that his mother still has this kind of operation, and he was also very moved by Cousins' persistence in wanting to be on his team.But if he was moved, he couldn't be allowed to act like this. The Timberwolves definitely couldn't go. After Su Ruoxuan apologized repeatedly, they also set off for the next destination.He Yixiang was also personally accompanying him, and the next place was the Sacramento Kings, which held the No. 5 pick, and He Yixiang's favorite team. There were He Yixiang and Cousins' seniors, and this year's best rookie Tyreke Allen. Vince.

Sacramento, the capital of California, but in terms of popularity, he is far inferior to Los Angeles, the largest city in California, the city of Angels. As far as NBA teams are concerned, Los Angeles has two teams. -4 defeated the Magic and won the No.1 championship. This year, he met the Celtics in the finals, and the Lakers are also advancing towards his No.15 championship. The Kings were only called Rocher in ancient times The Manchester Royals won the only championship. The team moved several times and came to Sacramento in 16. However, it has never won a championship in the past 1984 years. The original team had Bibby, Webber, Pepper Jia, Divac, Turkoglu's team and the OK combination of the Lakers fought 20 games. In the 7th game, the two sides alternated leading more than a dozen times. Regrettably lost, He Yixiang, who was only 7 years old that year, shed tears of sadness when he saw the king's defeat in front of the TV.The Lakers swept the Nets 11-4 in the finals, which proved that whoever wins the Lakers and the Kings will win the championship. It can be said that the Kings were only one step away from the championship that year, and now the Lakers are still a strong contender for the championship. Contenders, while the Kings are stuck in a rebuild.

This time, with He Yixiang following him all the way, Cousins ​​didn't dare to be too presumptuous. He tried out honestly, whether it was strength, speed, bounce or even hand feel, he performed exceptionally well.

"Miss Su, I can't believe that he will fall to the fifth pick with his strength. If he can be selected, it will be a gift from God." Kings coach Westphal said of Cousins I am very satisfied with the performance. I feel that the Memphis combination of Evans and Cousins ​​will definitely be successful. And Evans will be able to return to the playoffs in two years."

Hearing this, Cousins ​​couldn't help breaking his mouth again: "Two more years? If I'm with He, we can enter the playoffs next year." Hearing this, Su Ruoxuan couldn't help but glared at Cousins. At a glance, Cousins ​​was still muttering, what the heck, that guy named Evans is so good.Westphal just smiled slightly when he heard this, and shook his head. The Western Conference is not as simple as you think. Last year, the Thunder team, which was eighth in the Western Conference, won 50 games.

But Evans next to him was not happy when he heard this sentence: "If you take the MOP, you don't know who you are? How many MOPs can't play in the NBA." While spinning the ball, he used contempt He looked at He Yixiang next to him.Many people compared him with He Yixiang. He Yixiang led the team to win the championship, but he was only in the top [-]. John Calipari also said in public that He Yixiang was his most proud apprentice. made him extremely dissatisfied.

He Yixiang was not angry, but Cousins ​​was angry: "Oh? I don't know who it is after winning the best rookie? There are also many best rookies who end up being reduced to no one to sign."Westphal is a good old man coach, and the Kings is also his first stop as a head coach. Last year was also his first year as a head coach. He has not encountered this situation yet. The core of the team and the team want to choose The other core of the group is on the verge of daggers before it is combined.He used the authority of the head coach to stop the incident from continuing to spread. Although the incident stopped, it planted the seeds of discord in the hearts of the two cores who are about to combine. It's not good, Westphal shook his head, Don't choose Cousins, such a good brutalist center can get the fifth pick, so why don't you choose?Choose Cousins. Looking at the situation, Cousins ​​and Evans may not be able to play well, so they have to take them to the general manager first to discuss whether to choose Cousins.

The general manager's office. At this time, only Su Ruoxuan, Westphal, King's general manager Geoff Pate, He Yixiang and Cousins ​​were driven out of the office by Su Ruoxuan. A guy who has done less than failed, let the two of them in and God knows what will happen.

"Hey, can't we really win the championship together?" Cousins ​​was a little depressed. In his heart, with He Yixiang, he would not experience the pain of failure. The center's bonus is huge.

"I don't know. If you play bad enough, maybe your rookie contract is only two years, and the team will kick you out. If you play well, your team will match your contract. Know how long, unless there is a trade, but who is going to trade himself as the cornerstone of the team's rebuilding hope."

When he heard that it only took two years to play badly enough, Cousins' little eyes lit up, and before he could think about it, he got hit on the head, "Play well, I don't want you as a teammate if you play badly, It's not that there is no chance of trading." He Yixiang knew what Cousins ​​was thinking when he saw this little look.Little did they know that at this moment, just across the door, a stormy deal was brewing inside.
