Chapter 5: Seven Years Later
"What do you mean?" Terek was stunned by Tem's inexplicable question.
"Let's talk about what you think of the Kings."
"Uh, okay." Although it does not belong to Terek today. Evans' memory, but the memory of a basketball fan for many years, knows everything about basketball, so he started talking.
"This year's number one player on our team, Kevin Brown. Martin was traded away in the middle of the season, he played more than five seasons with the Kings, how to describe it, a super scorer, and the strength is still quite good. The trade in exchange for Carl. Landry is also a big man, but overall I feel like this deal is average. At present, the team configuration is also very average, and the results have been the bottom of the West for two consecutive years. ”
"You think the Kings aren't in a good place right now, do you?" Tem said solemnly.
"At the moment, it's not very good."
"You've just won Rookie of the Year now, and the team has a bad record, but you're the number one in the team and the team is rebuilding around you. But if the team's results haven't improved for many years, I suggest we propose a transfer, you are now the top rookie in history, don't let the team drag down your development. There's nothing to be asked for at the moment, so you're going to have to put in even better numbers next season, and if the team continues to struggle, I'd like to seek a move before your rookie contract expires. ”
"Well, that's not good, doesn't it seem like I'm lacking in morale?" Tyrek disagrees with Tem's claims.
"The Kings are in a bad situation at the moment, the stadium is old, the staff is chaotic, the team is very likely to change hands, it's good that you haven't tasted victory for a year or two, and you lose the motivation to play year after year. Some things can't be done on your own, and basketball is not a one-man sport. Tem said earnestly.
He breathed a sigh of relief, got up from the couch and continued: "But this is also a matter for later, if the team improves in the future, I also hope that loyalty can accompany you in your career." But I have to think about your career as your agent, and of course the premise is that you continue to improve and become a player in the league. Well, you train well in the offseason. In the past two days, you should have a good rest and rest, I think your recent state is really not good, very confused......"
With that, Tem left Terrick's house.
Tyrek lay on the couch and turned on the TV, but muttered inwardly, "Of course it's not in a good state, who would believe that such a thing happened to me...... But from my point of view of being seven years ahead, there is some truth in what Tem said. ”
Tyrek has memories of what he would encounter in the future, and in the 17-18 season, Tyreco. Evans regained his brilliance with the Grizzlies, after all, he didn't become Terrick. Evans, before he went to know Terek. Evans' career history.
"I'm Terek now. Evans, I won the Rookie of the Year award yesterday, which means yesterday was April 30, 2010. In the '09-10 season, the Kings had the second-to-last record in the West, and the Kings did not play in the bottom three of the West for five years. The team's record is indeed a mess, and in 2013 the team changed hands to software tycoon Vivek. Ranadave. ”
"These are all secondary, the key is that I don't play a fixed position with the Kings, point guard, shooting guard, small forward in rotation, and injuries, and the numbers are not as good as year after year. Hey, when I think about it, I'm really facing a lot of problems now! Tyrek sighed as he fell on the couch.
Suddenly, Tyrek thought of something and bounced off the couch, "It's April 30th, which means that in less than two months, the 2010 draft will begin." This year, the Kings selected ...... DeMarcus. Cousins! ”
"Cousins, the league's No. 1 center in the future! If I can get one step closer to playing in my rookie season, the combination of Evans and Cousins may be able to change the landscape of this league! Tyreco's eyes were bright at this time, and then Tyreco's eyes were even brighter, "10-year rookie...... The third place in the second round was Hassan. Whiteside! ”
"Oh my God, and Hassan. Whiteside, big white edge, wandered in the early part of his career, grew into the league's top center in the 14-15 season with the Heat, and he will be my teammate next season! It's exciting, it's so exciting, I don't know if I can stimulate the energy of the big white edge! ”
"Let me think about it again, another year, in the 2011 draft, the Kings picked Bismarck with the No. 7 pick. Biyombo, and then a three-way trade got the 10th pick of Jimmer. Fredette, the fifth pick in the second round, selected Taylor. Honeycutt, the 30th pick in the second round, selected Isaiah. Thomas! ”
"Little Thomas, this is the strongest 175 on the surface in the future! And the 11th pick in the 11th Klay. Thompson, the 15th pick. Leonard, Jimmy, the 30th pick. Butler! These are all future all-stars! ”
"But this is all in 2011, plus me is such an unknown factor, the Kings' signing in 2011 depends on next season's record, and the only thing that is certain at the moment is that the Rookie of the Kings next season will be DeMarcus. Cousins and Hassan. Whiteside! ”
"The current record of the Kings is not satisfactory, but the Golden State Warriors, the hegemon of the league in the future, are now the bottom of the West! It's about the same level as the Kings, and the Golden State Warriors selected Klay in 2011. Thompson, selected in 2012 to Harrison. Barnes and Draymond. Green, and soon the Kings are going to get DeMarcus. Cousins! Basketball isn't a one-man sport, so why can't I lead the Kings to the top?! ”
"And I own Terek. All of Evans' basketball skills, I still have more memories of the development and changes of the NBA in the next seven years than Evans did at that time! Maybe I can really make a storm in the NBA! The more Terek thought about it, the more his blood boiled.
"'09 Draft, Blake. Griffin, Stephen. Curry, James. Harden, DeMar. DeRozan has become the league's premier superstar, and Zhu has become a superstar. Holiday & Jeff. A group of players such as Teague have received big contracts and become mainstays in the league. I was the best rookie of the year, and I can't lose to them! "Tyrek's morale is high at this time, after all, Tyrek. Evans' talent is not inferior to others, and it is no coincidence that he can become the fourth player in history to have a rookie season of 20+5+5, and now that he knows that he will not be as brave as he was in the future, he will turn this career around from now on!
