Chapter Eighty-Five: Scoring Explosiveness

Tyrek once gave his advice to Cousins, Thompson and Whiteside, three well-connected interior teammates in the offseason, hoping that they could practice their range and adapt to the small-ball era that prevailed in the league in the future.

Thompson and Whiteside have not been able to extend their range in the offseason, and Whiteside has just had more minutes with the team this season, and the most important thing is that he can do what he can. And Thompson, who is in the fourth position, has been compressed a lot of playing time this season, and his limited playing time is already his limit.

First of all, the two were not able to really practice long-range shooting, and secondly, their position on the team did not allow them to be half-hearted.

Cousins, on the other hand, is the team's main target and is a very talented player in the mid-range. Cousins followed Tyreck's advice, and Cousins agreed that shooting a three-pointer was more efficient than shooting a two-pointer, and the offseason, combined with the league shutdown, gave Cousins plenty of time to work on his three-point shot.

In the previous team practice, Cousins has shown a good long-range touch, and the coaching staff also believes that Cousins' current three-point shot can be used as one of the team's tactics, so Cousins is confident to shoot three-pointers at this moment.

"Jerry, DeMarcus actually hit! He doesn't look like a blind ......," Napier was surprised and puzzled by the sideline commentator.

"Not necessarily, it may just be that the vacant seat is out and it is blinded...... It also depends on the performance in the future, if DeMarcus can really have a stable three-point hand, it will be really unexpected...... I have the impression that the big center with three points as a conventional weapon is only Memet. Oku, DeMarcus's body and interior skills plus a three-point shot, what a powerful player! I don't dare to think about it, I don't dare to think about it......" Jerry on the side. Raedez shook her head and sighed.

After Cousins hit this three-pointer, the two teams began to get into the rhythm of the game, and the Spurs are a veteran powerhouse after all, and they have maintained a strong team for ten years, and their team combination is unmatched. The Spurs quickly took the initiative on the court, and as the Kings' turnovers mounted, the Spurs went on a 13-4 spurt to pull the score away.

With 3:14 left in the first quarter, the Spurs led the Kings by 10 points at 23-13, and the Kings called a timeout to make adjustments.

"Listen, everybody, don't let the opponent lead you by the nose, the Spurs are very sophisticated, the offense is very fluid, and the team defense is very good. That's right, the chemistry between us is certainly not as good as the Spurs' defense of keeping an eye on their own people and doing a good job defensively...... On the offensive end, cooperate with Terek to open up the situation! Coach Westafar tapped on the tactical board in his hand and looked at Terrick sitting on the bench.

At this time, the team was hit by the opponent with a wave of small climaxes, the momentum declined, and someone needed to stand up on the offensive end and lead the team back to their own rhythm, this person is naturally the team's number one star Terek!

Tyrek noticed Coach Westfaal's gaze and nodded at Coach Westphal......

Returning to the game after the timeout, both teams made personnel changes, with the Kings led by Jimmy Brown. Butler, Francisco. Garcia, Hassan. Whiteside replaces Benno. Yudri, Caron. Butler and DeMarcus. Cousins, Spurs sent Danny. Green, Kewai. Leonard, Thiago. Split replaces Manu. Ginobili, Richard. Jefferson, Tim. Duncan.

The lineup that the Kings have changed has already declared that they are going to play defense, and the offensive end is to rely on Tyreek's personal ability to solve the problem!

Tyrek knows exactly what he's going to do now, and the team needs his power to close the gap, which is what the cornerstone of the team should do, and it's all about individual heroism at this time.

Tyrek holds the ball in the front court, and Danny, who has just come on the court. Green was on his guard, Danny. Green was relegated to the NBA's Development League's Renault Bighorns after playing just two games for the Spurs last season, and has regained his place in the team by playing well in the Development League. Green is the quintessential team player, not as individual but as a team and defensively excellent.

Tyrek faced Green's close defense, and in the same game as he did in the last game against the Orlando Magic, he put on a triple threat!

Tyrek observed Green's defensive movements, obviously the Spurs studied the Kings' last game, and in response to Tyreek's possible jumper, Green did not choose to defend Tyreek's jumper, and his defensive position was still relatively forward.

That's what Terrick wants, his own shooting is not his main offensive means, it's just to make defenders dare not let him shoot, so that his offensive options are more diverse!

If you dare to let me vote, I can vote, and there is a high probability of throwing! If you don't let me shoot, I can break through you, and the closer you get to the basket, the easier it will be to score!

Tyrek lowered his body, held the ball to the left and made a tentative step, thinking that he would have to entangle with Green a few times, but he didn't expect to be in the third year of entering the league, but Green, who had not played a few NBA games, was highly nervous at this time, and his defensive habits were relatively easy to shake, he was directly deceived by Tyreco's tentative step, and then Tyrek directly went to the weak side and took a step! Hit the box and hit a basket before Split defended!

Tear through the defense purely by relying on strong individual ability!

Back on defense, the Kings were not bad at every position on the court at this point, and with aggressive half-court man-marking, the Kings managed to keep the Spurs' offense in a choke.

And the four people on the field of attacking the Chinese king team all covered for Tyrek to block and dismantle, that is, let Tyrek attack, the opponent knew this routine, but still gave the ball to Tyrek, everyone believed that Tyrek had such an ability!

Two breakaway layups, a mid-range pullup jump shot, a mid-range shot, and a foul on a breakaway, Tyrek scored 10 points in a row in just three minutes!

At this moment, the first quarter of the game is about to end, Tyrek receives Whiteside's serve from the bottom line, the offensive time is only more than 10 seconds, Tyrerick swayed and dribbled over the half court, the Spurs' defense was not fully in place, Tyrek suddenly accelerated a step from the left sideline near Green, near the high post, in the face of Blair who made up the defense and Green behind him, Tyrek took advantage of the rhythm change of pace, turned between the two, came directly to the basket, and jumped with the power of turning, one-handed split!

The home fans stood up and applauded!

An Jiali on the sidelines also clenched her fists excitedly and applauded!

Time is running out! The two teams fought to a 25-all tie in the first quarter! The Kings responded to the Spurs with a wave of 12-2, and Tyrek scored 12 points alone!
