Chapter 30: All-Star Substitutes
With the joy of Christmas, Tyrek and the Sacramento King set off once again.
The first game after Christmas was played against the Los Angeles Clippers at the Sleep Train Arena. The main frame of the Clippers is in addition to Byron, who has passed his prime. Except for Davis, they are all young people who have not been in the league for a long time.
Last season's top pick Blake. Griffin only appeared in the NBA this season due to injury, but Griffin has already played as a future superstar in the first season of his career.
Eric. Gordon is also becoming more and more mature, and has already played star-like numbers this season. At the same time DeAndrew. Jordan, Eric. Bledsoe also has a lot of potential.
The Los Angeles Clippers currently have only potential, and the team's current record is only 9-22, but the team's two athletic interior lines still make the game very good, especially Griffin is full of popularity, who can not love rookies with good data and explosive ball style!
This season's Kings are still much stronger than the Los Angeles Clippers, and there is no suspense about the outcome of the game, the Kings played steadily throughout the game, did not give the Clippers any chance throughout the game, and always maintained a lead of about 10 points, and finally defeated the Los Angeles Clippers 111-102 at home.
Tyrek scored a game-high 34 points, plus five rebounds and three assists, while Cousins didn't play well, scoring six points and nine boards on just 2-of-11 shooting. The Clippers' Griffin and Gordon played well, but that couldn't stop the team from losing.
Tyrek, who has played nearly 30 NBA regular season games, has adapted to today's life, and the current internal atmosphere of the team is also good, and the record is stable in the top eight positions in the West, compared to last season, it can be described as a spring breeze.
Now in the All-Star voting period, the Kings are also sparing no effort in Terek's All-Star campaign, and the local newspaper and television in Sacramento are full of canvassing. Stojakovic and Brad. Miller hasn't had a player on an All-Star show since then, which has the entire city of Sacramento excited about Tyreco. Now, Tyreco's personal data, combined with the team's record and his own popularity, add weight to his ability to become an All-Star.
When the Sacramento Kings played the Washington Wizards again, the Wizards were no different, and Arenas had left the Wizards a month earlier and was traded to the Orlando Magic. Tyrek was also a little stunned throughout the game, although in the end the Kings defeated the Wizards on the road, Tyrek did not play well, scoring only 13 points in the game. And after the end of this game, the results of the first round of All-Star voting were also released.
In the away locker room of the MCI Center Arena, the home of the Wizards, the shirtless Cousins sat next to Tyreck, arched Tyrek with his thick arms, and said with a grin: "Tyreck, the All-Star first-round voting results are out, and you are now ranked 5th in the West. Bryant, Chris. Paul, Manu. Ginobili, Steve. Nash is above you, and your votes are not far from Ginobili and Nash, but Kobe Bryant and Paul should lock in two backcourt spots if this situation develops......
After saying that, Cousins, who was originally happy, turned a little gloomy, he regarded Tyrek as his good brother, and naturally hoped that he could be selected as an All-Star, "But not necessarily, when the time comes, it depends on the choice of the team's coach, I think you will definitely be an All-Star this season!" ”
The All-Star thing doesn't care so much in Terek's heart, outsiders think that he has gone through more than a season of baptism, in fact, he has actually only played 35 NBA regular season games, and he is still enjoying the process, whether he can enter the All-Star is not critical, it will be a long time in the future, but it is naturally the best to be able to enter. Tyrek smiled and patted Cousins and said, "Don't talk about me, DeMarcus, do you see how much you rank in the Western Conference center?" ”
Cousins scratched his head, smirked and said, "It's not bad, I'm ranked 9th in the Western Center, although my current personal data is good, and my double-double of 18.6 points and 10.8 rebounds per game is already very good for a rookie, but I'm just a rookie after all." But there is no suspense in the center position, the starting center in the west is always Yao Ming, but Yao Ming has been injured this year, and it is estimated that someone has to take his position......"
Ten days later, the NBA officially announced the starting roster for the 2011 Los Angeles All-Star Game. Derek. Ross, Dwyane. Wade, LeBron. James, Amare. Stoudemire, Dwight. Howard made up the starting lineup in the East, and Chris Brown made up the starting lineup in the East. Paul, Kobe. Bryant, Kevin. Durant, Cameron. Anthony and Yao Ming formed the starting lineup in the West, and Paul and Kobe Bryant relied on their super popularity to firmly occupy the position of the starting backcourt in the West, which made Terek naturally lose the possibility of starting, and the official All-Star bench list will be announced in 5 days.
In the space of half a month, the Sacramento Kings have experienced 8 more games, 6 away games and 2 home games, and the Kings have won 4 wins and 4 losses. So far, halfway through this season, Terrick has played in 43 games, averaging 35.4 minutes per game, 21.8 points, 5.8 rebounds and 5.7 assists, helping the team to a 24-19 record, temporarily ranking seventh in the West.
The Sacramento Kings didn't play that day, and when Tyrek woke up, he saw nearly 100 unread messages on his phone!
Tyrek hurriedly rolled out of bed and clicked on it to see that Cousins, Whiteside and other teammates, Petri, Westphar and other team managers, Kobe, Arenas, Yi Jianlian and other league friends, his brother, agent, etc., etc......
Cousins: Congratulations! Tyreck! My brother, a veritable all-star!
Whiteside: Congratulations, big brother! The All-Star Game MVP must be yours too!
Kobe: Tyreck! I can't wait to play with you on the All-Star Field!
Arenas: Shine! Brother!
Petri: Congratulations on Terec, Sacramento's pride!
After reading all the messages, Terek congratulated him, "So...... I've been selected as an All-Star?! ”
Tyrek opened the official website of the NBA, and sure enough, in the Los Angeles All-Star West team bench list announced today, it was written that Tyreck. Evans!
At the same time, the entire front page of the Kings' official website is a poster of Terek, a back wearing the Sacramento Kings' No. 13 jersey, with a striking line of text at the bottom: Dawn of Light, Sacramento's first All-Star in 7 years, Tyreco. Evans!
