There was dead silence in the Kings locker room, except for the Grizzlies' victory cheers on live television.

Everyone sat still, and everyone's faces were full of sadness, regret, and disappointment. Cousins, who was beside Tyrek, lowered his head even more, hiding his face and weeping.

Cousins was frustrated that if it weren't for his late catch error against the Grizzlies, the team might have won the game against the Grizzlies, and the team would have been able to take the initiative to qualify for the playoffs, and now it will be them who will make the playoffs, not the group of celebrants on TV......

About 5 minutes later, Coach Westfaal, who was leaning against the wall, straightened up, walked up to everyone, clapped his hands vigorously, and said loudly: "Hey, hey, what's going on with everyone!" DeMarcus, what are you doing there! There are a lot of things to experience in the future, and I can't stand this blow?! ”

Coach Westphall turned around and turned off the TV and continued: "We've been doing well this season, we were only second to last in the West last season, and now we're just one step away from making the playoffs!" What a leap in achievement! I don't get frustrated, I just have pride. It's been a tough game in the West this season, and we're close to 55 percent of the win, so we're pretty good, and not making the playoffs is just a bit of luck on our side......"

Coach Westphall said as he walked up to Cousins, who was the saddest of all the people, patted him and said, "We're a young team, we still have a chance, we didn't make the playoffs this season, we started over next season!" ”

Coach Westphal finished speaking, and Tyrek stood up, his eyes bloodshot with regret, but he knew that he was the leader of this team and he had to cheer up.

Tyrek took a step forward and said loudly, "The coach was right, we didn't make the playoffs, we didn't achieve our original goals, that's true, but I think we've been successful enough this season!" Who would have thought that we could compete for a playoff spot this season until the last minute of the season, and we will definitely enter the playoffs when we grow again next season! ”

Coach Westpal walked up to Tyrek, the two looked at each other, Tyrek nodded to Coach Westfal and returned to his position, Coach Westpal continued: "Okay, we won't train tomorrow, everyone should adjust themselves." That's the result this season, but it's more important to grow this season. Not entering the playoffs is not the end of the world, there is one last regular season game the day after tomorrow, although it is no longer painful, but everyone still has to play hard and draw an end to the regular season! ”

Coach Westphall left the locker room after speaking, the team's coaching staff, staff, etc. also left one after another, and the players also went to shower or leave the stadium in twos and threes, Tyrek yelled at Cousins who lowered his head: "DeMarcus, like a man, cry what are you crying, you have only played in the NBA for a year!" It's a shame to miss out on the playoffs, but we have a chance and we can just get back what we lost next season! ”

Tyrek pulled up the tall Cousins, "Alright, let's go, let's take a shower, I'll send you back......"

sent Cousins back first, and Tyrek also returned to his home, and when he got home, Tyrek didn't do anything, just lay on the bed, worked hard for a season, and saw that he was about to achieve his goal, but he didn't hit the bottom all of a sudden, it is impossible to say that he is not sad, and it is really a stone's throw away......

The regret and fatigue of his body caused Terrick to fall asleep in a daze......

The next day, Terek didn't go anywhere and locked himself in his home, and although he hid his emotions to a certain extent in front of his teammates yesterday, the regret of missing the playoffs one step away would still engulf him when he was alone.

Snuggled up on the living room couch, the sun shining through the floor-to-ceiling windows on Terek, he sat cross-legged with his laptop and opened his Twitter, which now has 600,000 followers.

"At this point, regret? At this time next year, reign in the world. ”

Tyrek wrote, not paying attention to the comments of netizens, Tyrek closed the notebook, he told everyone about his regrets and determination, leaving regrets on the Internet, and he still had to move on.

The Sacramento Kings' final regular season game with the Los Angeles Lakers was held as scheduled, and at this time, the Los Angeles Lakers' Western standings had been determined, and the last game would not affect their final standings. Bryant & Paul. Gasol was rested and did not come to Sacramento with the team, and the Lakers visited Sacramento with a starting lineup consisting of half main and half bench.

In the last regular season, because he had lost the possibility of qualifying for the playoffs, Coach Westphall chose to let Tyreck, Cousins, and Garcia rest the three main players, giving Whiteside and others at the end of the bench a chance to play. Although Tyrek and others did not play in this game, they still watched the game on the sidelines in suits.

During the game, fans on the sidelines put up banners and slogans to encourage their favorite Sacramento Kings, and when the players came on, everyone applauded their performance this season.

"Come on! King of Sacramento! ”

"Next season continues! We can afford to wait! ”

"Setbacks are ahead, brilliance is behind!"

"The season that overachieves the task will definitely be stronger next season!"

"Tyrek. Evans, MVP! ”

"DeMarcus. Cousins, Best Rookie! Future superstar! ”

The various slogans and enthusiastic cheers of the fans in the stadium warmed the hearts of Terek and all the Kings players.

Yes, this season was not a failure, and although there were regrets, it was successful enough compared to the past. What's more, with the support of the fans, this young team is bound to make a comeback next season!

In the last regular season game, several people at the end of the Kings bench were given plenty of time to show themselves, and Whiteside, who had not played a few times in one season, played 18 minutes in this game. Bynum's matchup can also limit the opponent to a certain extent, and he still showed some potential with 5 points and 8 boards.

In the end, the Kings lost to the Lakers 97-100 at home, 3-point loss, 45-37, and finally finished the season in 9th place in the West.

It is a pity that it did not make the playoffs and "fished" early, but the future of the team is still worth looking forward to......
