252: Brain-filled manipulation

King Sacramento, it's hard to put into words.

Before the start of last season, the Kings acquired DeMarcus Cousins in the draft. In his rookie season, Cousins scored 141 points and 81 rebounds, all of which showed that he was a big guy full of potential.

But Cousins' irascible temper and IQ that often cut off power made Sacramento fans love and hate him. Of course, his immature mind also makes it difficult for him to carry the team forward like a true leader.

So, the king liked to draw the lotto.

Before the start of this season, the Kings used their 10th draft pick to take what Durant called "the best scorer in the world" Jimmerfredette, and then he was really lonely.

In the first year of college, I sat on the bench. By the second year, there were still not many opportunities. It wasn't until the third year that he became famous in a game against the University of Arizona, scoring 49 points. In his senior year, he was crowned the NCAA scoring champion with an average of 29 points per game and was named Player of the Year. What an inspirational player, people are eager for him to continue to fight back in the NBA.

But it turns out that a player like Link, who is black to the end, cannot be "mass-produced".

In college, Fredette was the absolute centerpiece, with the ball in his hands all the time, and he was responsible for every attack.

But at the King, everything changed, Fredette was not a tactical core, and no one was going to design a series of complex tactics for him. Fredette, who likes to play offense with the ball, was asked to switch to playing without the ball in the NBA, which made him a little overwhelmed.

To add insult to injury, just two weeks into the new season, the coach who chose him, Paul Westfaal, was out of class, and the new coach Kith Smart didn't pay attention to him at all.

Fredette, who is not liked by the coach and does not fit much into the circle of teammates, is so lonely that he is lost on the court, and as a scorer, he can only contribute 386 blood crash shooting percentage and 76 points per game.

Tyrek Evans, a god who averaged 20+5+5 data per game in his rookie season, but the more he played, the more his data shrank!

Last season, Evans averaged just 178 points per game. By the end of the season, it was only 165 points. Evans' declining numbers have made him a model of rookie and peak.

But in reality, Evans didn't scrap himself. First, he was riddled with injuries after his rookie season. Second, the management made him change to a quarterback and deprived him of some of his right to shoot, which was also a honey operation. But in any case, it is difficult for Evans to return to his peak form.

As a result, the Kings, who were originally ambitious, have only a record of 6 wins and 10 losses so far this season. Not surprisingly, this season the Kings should be on the lottery again.

Lotto teams play games and generally don't have too many people paying attention. Because of the lottery team's games, most of them have no suspense. Ten of them all ended in failure.

Last season, the Kings had a win percentage of just 293, in other words, 70 of the Kings' games were lost, which naturally struggled to attract the attention of fans.

But today, January 20, the game between the Grizzlies and the Kings unexpectedly attracted much attention.

Because today is the last day before the results of the second round of voting for the NBA All-Star team are announced, today, it is the last game of the All-Star Game between Link and Griffin!

Of course, Link doesn't admit that there is such a thing as an "All-Star Race", which is completely hyped up by the media. But the fans don't care, they only know two things.

First, Link had to score above 18 points today. Link has also scored less than 18 points once this season, so this matter is still very suspenseful.

Second, Link is going to overwhelm Griffin in stats. It's as if you can't be selected as an All-Star starter if you don't come up with good data today.

Link was rather speechless about this. The media and Randolph managed to stir up this game that was originally not interesting, but it was Link who didn't say a word that was tired

"Played well today, we won the Kings once before, and it was a big win. So today, don't let any surprises happen. Randolph also spoke in the dressing room before the game began. This guy hasn't stopped since he recovered from his injury, for fear that the game won't be intense.

Then when the Grizzlies players came out, Hubbie Brown almost didn't laugh off his dentures.

"What's going on? Do the Grizzlies owe players wages? Why is it that everyone on the Grizzlies team is full of scum, and they are like homeless people. ”

As soon as Brown said this, fans realized that no one on the Grizzlies seemed to have a clean face. Guy, Randolph, Conley, and others all have a layer of beard on their chins. Gasol Jr. has a beard because he is already bearded, so the amount of beard on his face is now almost catching up with James Harden.

The cleanest faces are Link and Jimmy Butler, who has the fewest beards. But this looming slag is the most sloppy and decadent!

Link didn't want to, this body didn't seem to have much hair on his face since he was a child

Butler doesn't seem to have much of a beard, but he still looks just as good.

"Maybe the Grizzlies players are trying to make them look a little bit more like villains? Hahaha, these guys always like to do something that they don't. Beside Hubby Brown, Jaylen Rose also smiled and danced.

After complaining about the appearance of the Grizzlies players, the Kings who played away also played to warm up.

Meanwhile, Link hears someone on the basketball court shouting his name, "Link! ”

Link turned his head to look, and sure enough, it was Cousins.

"Lao Tzu supports you to overthrow him! The VP of the rookie game should be selected as an All-Star starter! Don't worry, I'm on your side! As soon as Cousins came up, he gave Link a big bear hug.

Link suddenly discovers that his two hunky friends, Cousins and Randolph, seem to have some strange brain circuits. Why are there some strange friends around me.

How do you say that? Birds of a feather flock together. But Link felt like he was a normal person

"Who are you rooting for, you forgot you're a Kings player?" Link patted Cousins on the shoulder, although he was a little childish, but he was still very relieved to hear that Cousins was supportive.

"Of course I haven't forgotten, I support you mentally. But if you dare to enter the restricted area today, don't blame me for being unkind. Cousins said, flexing his muscles.

"Alright, let's get ready for the game, DeMarcus. We're all going to have to fight hard today, understand? ”

"Well, then I'll warm up, I'll see you on the court later!"

Watching Cousins leave, Link shook his head, how did he feel like a big brother.

But then again, although he and Cousins are rookies in the same year, Link played 4 years in college and Cousins only played 1 year. All told, Link is three years older than Cousins

In this way, it doesn't seem strange that he has become a big brother.

After the warm-up, both starters took their assigned positions. Hubbie Brown began to stare intently at the court, looking forward to Link's performance today.

Link looked at the Kings' halfcourt, and sure enough, he was opposite to Tyrek Evans, who was both a rookie and a peak!

Evans has a lot of arms and is quite athletic. Aside from height, there is nothing to lose on the defensive end.

But Link's thoughts at this time were not whether he could score 18 points on Evans' head, but how to solve the battle in the third quarter and try to take a break in the fourth quarter

Some people, on the surface, have no quarrel with the world, but in fact, their minds are full of riotous operations.
