Chapter 34: Return to the Court

Marcus. Thornton's first game with the Sacramento Kings was away to the Charlotte Bobcats.

At the Time Warner Center in Charlotte, the Kings scored eight double-doubles, and the team was all soldiers. Jackson & Gerald. Henderson doubled for 30 pluses, but the Bobcats still lost home to the Kings.

Sacramento Kings new signing Marcus. Thornton and Jermaine Jermaine, who traded a second-round pick from the Rockets. Tyler, who scored 15 points each, made up for the lack of offensive firepower in Tyreck's absence.

Immediately after the next game away from home to the Memphis Grizzlies, although the Sacramento Kings ultimately lost, Marcus came off the bench. Thorton continued to be consistent, scoring 17 points in 19 minutes of play.

Back at home to face the visiting Los Angeles Clippers, Marcus. Thornton came off the bench again, and after two consecutive games of consistent play, Thorton went one step further, scoring a season-high 33 points on 65 percent shooting and hitting key shots in the fourth quarter to single-handedly beat the visiting Los Angeles Clippers.

And now it's time for Tyreco to return, and the Sacramento Kings officially announced that Tyreco will return to the court at home against the Portland Trail Blazers.

The day before the game, the team practiced together at the Sleep Train Arena, and Terek naturally came to the arena.

Tyrek was the first to come to the training gym, and after not playing for more than a month, Tyrek missed the stadium a little. When Tyrek stepped into the training hall, Coach Westphaal and the staff of the coaching staff were already in place in the training hall, and when he saw Tyrek enter the training hall, Coach Westphal greeted him with a smile.

Coach Westafar patted Tyrek on the shoulder and said with a smile on his face: "Tyrek, it's finally back, how is it, is everything okay, I don't want you to go into battle with an injury!" ”

"I've recovered, I've been resting for more than a month, and I can't wait to play......"

"Well, good, TΓΌrk! You take Terek to do acclimatization first, and then gather when the team is here. ”

After that, Terrick and assistant coach TΓΌrk. Robinson went to the sidelines to train.

After that, the players also came to the stadium one after another, Cousins and others happily came forward to surround Terrick after seeing him, and everyone was very excited about Tyreco's return, which was enough to see Tyreco's influence in the team.

With all the players on board, Coach Westafal brought everyone together.

"Today we welcomed back our All-Star Terek. Evans, we don't have any injuries in the squad right now, and we're full of personnel at the moment. With 24 games left until the end of the regular season and now sitting ninth in the West, we do have a chance to make a breakthrough this season and make the playoffs. So we're going to have to go all out to win every game in the next game! ”

Coach Westafar then looked at Tyrek and said, "Tyrek, you've just returned to the team, and the team has had some personnel changes recently. Landry and Luther. Hyde left the team, and these two are the team's new signings, Marcus Hyde. Thornton and Jermaine. Taylor. ”

Tyrek looked in the direction Coach Westphal was pointing and nodded to Thorton and Taylor.

"Tomorrow we're against the Portland Trail Blazers, so let's do our best! Now let's start training freely! ”

Thorton, who was practicing shooting, came to Tyrek with the ball, and greeted Tyrek with a smile, "Hello Tyreco, it's a pleasure to be your teammate......"

Tyrek looked at Thorton's round face, straightened up and reached out, "Marcus, welcome to the team." ”

Thorton held the basketball in one hand, reached out with the other hand to shake Tyreck, and grinned: "Tyrek, you and I are both players in the class of '09, you are my role model, the best rookie and an all-star, amazing......"

Thorton's tone was a little yin and yang, Tyrek knew in his heart that Thorton's position relationship in the game would inevitably form a certain competition with himself in the team, although his status in the team and his current personal honor were much higher than Thorton, but Thorton was also a high-minded young man, and he would naturally have a certain sense of competition in his heart.

Tyrek also understood, and still smiled in return: "We have won prizes, let's play hard together!" ”

With the Portland Trail Blazers game just around the corner, the Sleep Train arena is packed with Tyreco's comeback game at home in Sacramento, and everyone is looking forward to the return of Sacramento's hero king to lead the team back to the top eight in the West.

"Gentlemen and ladies! I'm Grant, the commentator for today's game. Napier, next to me is my partner Jerry. Raezz. Jerry, today the team finally welcomed back Terek. Evans, in these games in Terek's absence, the team has been clearly lacking in offense, and the outside press on the defensive end has dropped a lot......"

"Yes, Grant, I'm sure fans can see how important he is to the Kings right now, and the team needs Tyreek's individual ability. Judging from the first half of the season, although Tyrek has average mid-to-long-range lethality, his breakthrough is enough to attract defense, and his ability to connect teams is not weaker than Benno. Yudri, Tyrek's individual hard power is definitely the team's well-deserved number one. ”

"Jerry, the team still has 24 regular season games left, and 1.5 wins away from eighth in the West, how do you think the team will be able to break through and make the playoffs?"

"The team recently acquired Marcus in a trade. Thorton, I'm still quite bullish on this deal, Karl. Landry does have the quality, and it's a good piece of the puzzle, but what the team needs right now is an outside scoring point, and Tyrek's absence has made the team realize that the team needs more offensive firepower. From Marcus. Looking at Thornton's last three games, Marcus Murphy. Thornton's scoring ability is indeed excellent, coming off the bench in all three games, averaging 21.7 points per game, and the team has two wins and one loss, and Marcus Thorton is bound to be another scoring explosion in the team in addition to Terrick and DeMarcus. Now, with Tyrek back and 24 regular season games remaining, the team's chances of making the playoffs are still quite good. ”

"Well, okay Jerry, now the game is about to start, let's get into this game, Terek. Evans will start in his first game back and let's look forward to his performance. ”

With the live DJ shouting, Tyrek trotted out, high-fived his teammates on both sides, and finally jumped up to bump shoulders with Cousins, and Tyrek stood on this familiar venue again after more than a month of absence!
