Chapter 188: It's not that enemies don't get together
Arenas also saw Tyrek and grinned as he walked up to Tyrek, and the two of them had a bear hug that they hadn't seen in a long time.
Arenas patted Tyrek on the chest and teased, "Scoring champion, yes, it looks like I didn't practice in vain last offseason."
"That's nature, that's not your credit, brother"
"Haha, but although your brother and I haven't won the scoring title, the highest single-season average score in my career is 293 points, which is still a little better than you, hahahaoh, by the way, you kid is a little ruthless, confess An Jiali in public, some time ago there was news about the two of you, brother, I knew that you would definitely get together with An Jiali in the end, from the first time I saw you look at her!"
Tyrek smiled and waved his hand, "Okay, I know you're good, Gilbert, how are you doing with the Grizzlies right now?" ”
Speaking of this, Arenas gradually became serious, he sighed and said: "How to say, now I do feel that I have more than enough energy but not enough, because of the injury and physical deterioration is terrible, what I think in my mind is really very different from what I can actually do in the game, and there are not many opportunities, but it's okay, my financial level is still good, there is no pressure in life, and it is good to be able to play."
The two haven't seen each other for a long time and chatted for a long time, Tyreic stood and looked at the back of Arenas leaving, and couldn't help but feel a little lonely, thinking about it, the once league figure of the year is now reduced to the edge of the bench It is indeed embarrassing, if Tyric wants to break through on the field but can't do smooth movements, play fast attack but can't run fast, want to defend but can't withstand the opponent, Tyrek will be very distressed, and Arenas is now facing such a situation, he wants to do it but can't do it, at this time he is no longer the super two-way guard
On the evening of the 29th, the Sleep Train Arena was brightly lit and crowded, and the entire arena was full, and the fans were waiting for the start of the game with great anticipation, waiting for the city's long-lost playoffs, the team's big boss Vivikra Nadive, general manager Jeff Petri and many team executives appeared at the Sleep Train Arena to watch the game, along with Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson, Kings legend Chris Webber, Pejastojakovic who just retired at the end of last season, etc., Angeli also came with a few friends to cheer on Terek.
"Audience friends, we have finally ushered in this long-awaited moment! The Sacramento Kings are back on the playoff stage, and we still have home-court advantage! I'm Grant Napier, and this is my partner Jerry Reiz, Jerry, and I think you're just as passionate as I am at this point, right?! ”
"That's natural, you have to know that I coached the Kings for four seasons in the '80s, but the record is really not good, I know how difficult it is to make the playoffs, especially for a team that has been dormant for years, and I want the team to play well!"
"Jerry, you started coaching the Kings in the 8687 season, right? Let me see, well, the record is really not good, okay, without further aside, I believe that this Kings team not only pinned on your expectations but also on the expectations of countless fans, and now that the game is about to start, let Jerry take us to see the opponents we will face in the first round of the series."
"Okay Grant, in the first round, the team will meet the Memphis Grizzlies, who are ranked 6th in the West, and the Grizzlies are arguably an opponent that we are very familiar with, and the regrets they left us last season are still fresh in our minds, and this season the Grizzlies are still showing tenacity, and finally finished 6th in the West after a poor performance at the beginning of the season. All of the core players on the Grizzlies this season are on long contracts, and the Grizzlies are very happy with the current roster structure, and the quality of these players is indeed obvious to all. This season, the Grizzlies' main interior star Zach Randolph suffered injury troubles and missed most of the regular season, but the Grizzlies still play very systematically, Gasol Jr. has grown into an All-Star level strong interior this season, his interior defensive dominance is simply terrifying, Mike Conley on the outside as the core point guard highlights a stable, Tony Allen in the starting second position has the league's top outside defensive ability, and they are good at defense They are bound to be more terrifying in the playoffs with greater intensity. However, we have a 2-1 record in the regular season, and the Grizzlies are very difficult to deal with, but we also need to be confident enough to face it, after all, we are the better team in the regular season! ”
At the same time, everyone in the locker room at the Sleep Train Arena is ready to go, and there is no need for any pre-game mobilization for the Grizzlies, an old rival, and everyone wants to beat them, let alone in the playoffs.
was blocked from the playoffs by the Grizzlies last season, and the Kings are still angry until this moment, which is not something that can be erased by winning two regular season games, and perhaps only by stepping on the Grizzlies to advance to the second round can this grudge be completely ended......
With the enthusiastic cheers of the home fans of the Sleep Train Arena, the Kings' starting five appeared in turn, in the first game of the first round, the Kings sent the strongest five-person starting lineup, Tyreco, Jimmy, Caron Butler, West, Cousins, when Tyrek stepped out of the player tunnel, the Sleep Train Arena collectively gave a standing ovation, and Anjiali's eyes on the sidelines were full of love, this season's Tyrek is the brightest star in a breakthrough Kings team, in the third year of his career, Tyrek has completely conquered all the fans of this team, and he is the king of kings standing at the top of the city!
"Okay guys, the game is about to begin! Today's starting five of the Grizzlies are Mike Conley, Tony Allen, Rudy Gay, Zach Randolph, and Marc Gasol. ”
Cousins and Gasol Jr. walked to the halfway line to jump the ball, and with the Grizzlies taking the lead in getting the ball, the game officially began!
Conley organized the offense with the ball, and Tyreco, who was opposite Allen in defense, looked at the situation on the court, and couldn't help but be excited, and finally stood on the stage of the playoffs, only by proving himself in the playoffs can he truly reflect his value, and Tyreco, who has been outstanding enough in the regular season this season, is even more expected, this is his first playoff journey, and Tyrek does not want to leave regrets. Bear down! Come on! Playoffs!
