On the second day of the rookie press conference, Tyrek saw a lot of news about himself on the Internet.

"Tyrek. Evans made a surprise appearance at the Kings rookie meeting to encourage the rookies to be the best. ”

"Best Rookie Tyrek. Evans praised the team's rookie for showing the domineering of the number one star! ”

"Cousins is better than Wall? Tyrek. Evans' outrageous remarks may put Cousins under heavy pressure! ”

"Should Whiteside be in the top 10 in the second round? Evans slaps the managers of the teams in the face! ”

There have been some praise and some disparagement in the news, but Tyrek doesn't take that to heart, all he has to do now is continue to adjust to life as a player suddenly in the NBA and prepare for the upcoming season.

Tyrek spent another two months in the life and training of an NBA player, during which Tyrek did not travel with the team in the Las Vegas Summer League, one is the meaning of the team, after all, the summer league is for rookies to familiarize themselves with the game and observe the performance of free agents for the team, Evans is also the team's number one star, and it is not too late to appear again in the preseason. The second is Terrick's own will, after all, he became Terek. Evans has only been around for a month or two, and a lot of things are still not understood.

It was the first time that all the players of the Sacramento Kings practiced together in the new season, and there was still a little excitement in his heart to see all his teammates for the first time, and he drove to the Sleep Train Arena early in the morning.

As soon as Terek parked his car in the garage, he saw the back of a man wearing a wide T-shirt, and it was none other than Cousins! Tyrek chased after him in three steps and two steps, and slapped Cousins on the shoulder hard in the back, "Hey! DeMarcus! ”

Cousins turned his head and was obviously taken aback, and when he saw that it was Tyreco, he sighed lightly and said with a smile: "It's Tyreck, I haven't seen you since the last press conference......"

"Oh, I didn't play in the Summer League, I heard you played well in the Summer League!"

Hearing Tyrek's boasting, Cousins scratched his head and smiled brightly, "Haha, it's okay, your praise for me at the last media conference also gave me a lot of encouragement." To be honest, I'm a little unhappy that I got to the fifth pick......"

"Well, I know that DeMarcus, your strength is definitely not below Wall, who is also a Kentucky Five Tiger!"

"But I'm still very grateful for your affirmation of me, and I told you that Hassan has been mentioning you to me since you left that day, and I think your words have a bigger impact on him, after all, what he needs most as a second-round show is to be affirmed."

The two left each other's contact information and went all the way to the training hall side by side. Westphal and three assistant coaches, Mario Brown. Erie, Jimmy. Ian, Türk. Robinson was already waiting inside.

"Tyrek! DeMarcus! Coach Westafar saw the two and called them to his side.

"The rest of the team hasn't come yet, so I'll have a few words to say to you. Tyrek you were last year's No. 4 pick, DeMarcus you were the No. 5 pick this year, and you know that the team had a poor record last season, and now the team will use the two of you as the core of the development, and I believe you can grow into a strong force in the league! I've set you two goals, Tyreco, and we're going to make it to an All-Star with a performance! DeMarcus, Tyrek said it very well that day, you have the strength of the champion! You've got to win the Rookie of the Year by the Kings for the second year in a row! What's the matter, you don't have confidence in yourself?! Coach Westafal put his arm around the shoulders of the two to cheer them up.

"There must be! We're going to make the playoffs this year! Terek Lang said.

"Excellent! Pretty good! It's about having that kind of self-confidence! Coach Westphal paused before responding loudly.

"We'll wait for the players to come together and start the team's first joint training of the new season."

Soon, all the players arrived, Terek. Evans, DeMarcus. Cousins, Benno. Yudri, Karl. Landry, Jason. Thompson, Francisco. Garcia, Omi. Casby, Samuel. Delham Porter, Dante. Green, Luther. Hyde, Eugene. Jet, Darnell-Jackson, Antoine. White has Hassan. Whiteside, that's the Sacramento Kings lineup for the 10-11 season.

"It's good, everybody's here, and soon the pre-season season will begin. Today is our first team practice, first get acquainted with the new players, warm up and then do physical training and shooting training, originally I was going to let you play an intra-team match, but because it is the first time to practice together, we better take it easy, so we won't have a match. Okay, let's warm up first. ”

As soon as everyone dispersed, Whiteside followed Tyreck and stood beside Tyreck, Whiteside whispered: "Tyreck, I have to thank you, I didn't expect you to be so optimistic about me, I told them my strength during the tryout, but they all disdained me......"

Tyrek approached Whiteside, and secretly said to Whiteside with his own vision of leading the times: "Hassan, I am very optimistic about you, I know that you are definitely powerful, visible talent, but your extreme self-confidence is not necessarily a good thing, especially now in the team you will not have too many opportunities, peace of mind training, seize the opportunity, I will say good things to you in front of the coach......"

Tyrek knew what Whiteside was going through, because of attention deficit disorder and extreme conceit, he was not drafted until the second round, he couldn't play in the NBA early in his career, wandered in the lower leagues, went to the CBA to get a job but the team didn't look at it, and finally got the world's attention until he got a chance with the Heat.

Cousins is bound to become a superstar even without Tyreck's help, while Whiteside has had his twists and turns, so Tyreck plans to pull Whiteside to make his career a few fewer detours and give himself an extra basketball helper.

Listening to Tyreck's words, Whiteside rolled his eyes thoughtfully, it is true that he does have few opportunities in the team now, the position of center Cousins needless to say that he must be a starter next season, and Ballam Porter is the highest salary in the team next season, and playing time is absolutely indispensable.

"Dude, you have a point, you will be my eldest brother in the future!" Whiteside laughed and hugged Tyrek and said, Whiteside already had a good impression of Tyreck, and now he understands what Tyrek said, in his eyes, as the team's number one star, Tyrek still has a certain say in the team, since Tyrek is willing to help him, he also boldly plans to follow Tyrek in the team.

"Alright, let's go warm up." Tyrek smiled and pushed Whiteside away and began today's practice......
