Chapter Seventy-Eight: The 11-12 Season Opener

Since the new season is a shutdown season, with no summer league and preseason games, the 11-12 regular season is about to officially begin.

The team's schedule for this season has also been released, and the opening game of the 11-12 season in Sacramento will travel to Orlando to face the Magic.

The team had already had several joint training sessions before that, and Terek had already gotten acquainted with several of the team's new signings. West & Caron. Butler's two new signings are the two oldest in the team today, and they have played the role of the team's big brothers, and they have quickly integrated into the team and mingled with the young players in the team.

Several rookies and veterans of the team this year are also the same age, and there is no problem integrating into the team, and they have also become acquainted with each other after getting along a few times, especially Isaiah. Thomas, despite his short stature, is very contagious about the mental attributes he shows in confrontation training. And Jimmy. Butler and last season's Hassan. Whiteside, like him, is also a man of true temperament, and directly regards Terek as his eldest brother, and he is the first to look forward.

On December 25, 2011, the Sacramento Kings flew to Orlando on a charter flight to prepare for tomorrow's 11-12 season opener.

"I'm the Sacramento Kings' correspondent, James Murphy. Ham, the Sacramento Kings' first game of the 10-12 season will be played tomorrow at the Amway Center Arena in Orlando, Florida between the Orlando Magic. ”

After a night's rest, the team headed to the Amway Centre for pre-match training the next day, and the team was full of anticipation for this season, which was surprisingly good last season, and although it was a little bit of luck in the end, it was just one step away from the playoffs. With the growth of the main force in the team again and the joining of several powerful players, everyone believes that the team will inevitably make a breakthrough this season!

Westpal coach and the team's number one star Terek. Evans, new signing David. West attended the pre-match press conference.

"Mr. Evans, I'm David Murray, a reporter for the Orlando Sentinel. Whiteley, as you all know, you've been training like crazy in the offseason, what are your thoughts on the new season? ”

Tyrek dialed the microphone in front of him, "Uh...... As you know, last season my goal was to make the playoffs, and I didn't do it, but we tried, maybe we just lacked a little bit of luck. This season, I believe the team will finally make a breakthrough! ”

Terek didn't say much, but the confidence in his words was still palpable to everyone.

"Mr. West, I'm a reporter for CSN, and now that you're a member of the Sacramento Kings, what do you know about the team after reaching out to your teammates?"

"Ha, these guys are fun and capable, and I'm excited to be teammates with them." Speaking of this, West glanced at Tyrek beside him and continued: "Especially Tyrek, he is a true leader, he has shown his super strength last season, he can still train so strictly, it is not unreasonable for him to succeed, I have seen his super strength in the team training, I am sure he will shock you in the game...... Well, Tyrek's personal high last season seems to have been scored against the Magic...... 51 points seems to be, hahaha......"

West did not forget to joke about Terrick next to him, at the press conference, Coach Westfal also announced the starting lineup for this game, which was not different from what people expected. Evans, Benno. Yudri, Caron. Butler, David. West, DeMarcus. Cousins made up the team's starting lineup with five players.

"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen! Today is the opening game of the season for the Orlando Magic at the Amway Center at home, and the visiting Sacramento Kings are David Murray. Steele, this is my old partner, Matt. Augustus. Matt, after a long hiatus, how does it feel to be back in the commentary box again? ”

"Haha, David, I'm missing a little bit, I'm still worried about how long this season will be down, but at least now we can still enjoy the team's 66 great regular season games!"

"Last season, the team stopped in the first round of the playoffs, which made all the fans very regretful, and this season there are not many changes in the players, but as long as there is a super center De Waat. Howard is here, and our Orlando Magic is a strong team that no one can take lightly! Today's starting line-up is Jameel. Nelson, Jason. Richardson, Siddo. Tekoglu, Lane. Anderson, De Watt Howard, and the starting lineup for the Sacramento Kings is Terek. Evans, Benno. Yudri, Caron. Butler, David. West, DeMarcus. Cousins. The game is going to start soon, Matt, let's talk about today's opener opponent, the Sacramento Kings. ”

"Okay, David, the Sacramento Kings were only the second-to-last weak team in the West in the 09-10 season, but last season they were not favored to compete with the New Orleans Hornets and Memphis Grizzlies for the last ticket to the playoffs, which lasted until the end of the season, although they failed to make the playoffs in the end, but everyone could see that they were just a little less lucky. A big part of the reason why the Kings were able to improve so much last season was Terrick. Evans continues to improve after his superstar season in his rookie season and has become a rookie DeMarcus. Cousins' semi-All-Star performance, the combination of the two that has both strength and potential, is the hope of the Sacramento Kings' revival. This season they signed David again. West, the big fish in the free agent market, Caron. Butler could also do well to bolster their No. 3 spot, although he didn't keep Marcus. Thorton, but Anthony who came out of the trade. Moreau is enough to make up for Marcus. Thorton's bench firepower. Suffice it to say, this season's Sacramento Kings are a serious contender on paper......

"Well, Matt is right, the Sacramento Kings do look like a strong team this season, but how good they are will have to wait and see. Well, the match is about to begin, so let's enjoy the showdown! ”
