Chapter 124: Departure, Orlando
Although losing to the 76ers, the Kings have played well after the absence of three main players, and the outside world believes that the Kings will have a good chance of slumping, but the Kings still maintain a good competitiveness. Although most of it is due to the leading star Terek, the performance of the other players in the team is also obvious to all, although they are not so dazzling, but they have also done their job.
With a 23-11 record and 3rd place in the West, the Kings ended all the games leading up to the All-Star weekend, with the next game against the Toronto Raptors coming in six days. After the game against the 76ers, the Kings also started the holiday season, and for Tyrek, who needs to play in the All-Star Game, the excitement has just begun.
Sleep train arena, in the home team's locker room, after the game with the 76 team, Tyrek took a shower and was about to leave the arena to return home. Petri walked into the locker room.
At this time, in addition to Tyreck, there were four people in the locker room: Jimmy, Garcia, Moreau, and Thomas Jr., and Petri greeted several people with a smile on his face, and then sat next to Tyreck.
Tyrek took a shirt from his locker and put it on, then looked at Petri and asked, "Mr. Petri, are you looking for me?" ”
Petri grinned, reached out and grabbed Tyrek's arm, pulled him down, sat down in the chair next to him, and laughed, "I'm sitting next to you and looking at you, who do you say I'm not looking for?" ”
"Oh, what's the matter?"
Petri glanced at Jimmy, who was talking to Thomas Jr., and stretched out his hand to greet him, "By the way, Jimmy, you happen to be there too, come and sit here......"
"Tyrek, your vision is really sharp, Jimmy's defensive ability is really outstanding enough, much better than I expected, it can be said that the individual defensive ability is the strongest in the team at the moment! Judging from Jimmy's current performance, he was selected with the 27th pick in the first round! Vision, vision! "Speaking of Jimmy. Butler, Petri couldn't help but boast of Terrick's vision.
Jimmy touched his head and walked in front of Petri, and Petri said, "Tyrek, tomorrow the big boss will send a private jet to take you and Jimmy to Orlando......"
"Oh? ......" both Terek and Jimmy glared in surprise.
"What? What's so surprising, one of you is going to the All-Star Game, the other is going to the Rookie Challenge, you are all representing the Sacramento Kings, and this is the glory of the Kings, and it is also appropriate to send you there by private jet......"
Jimmy of the season. Butler was selected for this year's Rookie Challenge as a first-year rookie, Jimmy's average of 5.9 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game can only be said to be extremely flat, but the data does not fully reflect Jimmy's on-court value, Jimmy's iron-blooded defense and tenacious tenacity have given the team great help, and this selection for the Rookie Challenge is also the coaches' affirmation of Jimmy's performance on the court.
"Hmm...... The team is also affectionate and righteous, it is indeed a private jet, and all the treatment must be of the highest standard......" Terrick quipped thoughtfully.
"Tyrek, don't say it, it's really the highest standard, and the big boss will personally accompany you ......there," Petri looked at Terek with a malicious smile as he looked at him.
"What?! Really?! The big boss is going with us?! Terek said in surprise.
"That's still fake, of course it's true, you see this treatment is absolutely high-standard......"
"Uh......"
Speaking of this, Jimmy suddenly glared and shouted, "The big boss is on a private jet with us!! Doesn't that make me nervous!! ”
Tyrek could only look at Jimmy, who was a fool......
The next day, on Ranadave's private jet, it was lunchtime, Vivek. Rana Dave sat comfortably on one side enjoying the truffle puree foie gras New Yorker steak in front of him, while Terrick on the other side looked slightly reserved, and Jimmy, who sat across from Tyrek, was visibly nervous.
Vivek looked at Tyrek and the others with a satisfied look in his eyes, the reason why he went to Orlando together was because he was also going to watch the All-Star Game, and as the big boss of the Kings, he was naturally happy that two players on his team were going to the All-Star Game.
"Jimmy, enjoy your lunch, don't be stunned......" Vivek smiled as he looked at Jimmy. Butler said.
"Oh, good, good......" Jimmy still looked quite stressed about having lunch with him on the team's big boss's private jet.
"Jimmy, Jeff told me that a big part of the reason management got the No. 27 pick in a downward trade was because of Terek...... Of course, I had just taken over the team at that time, and I didn't get too involved in the affairs of the team, but now at the halfway point of the season, Jimmy, everyone can see your strength, and you have the ability to be an indispensable part of the team and continue to work hard! ”
"I will!!" Hearing that the team's big boss was so sure of himself, Jimmy nodded loudly.
Vivek's gaze shifted from Jimmy to Tyreck, and said with a little meaning: "I didn't expect it, Tyrek you still have the talent to be a scout, listen to Jeff and tell me, last year you were very fond of his Wesley. Johnson has made a series of comments, and Johnson's performance this season is validating your point, awesome...... Awesome......"
"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, guess, guess......" Tyrek hurriedly smiled and shook his head and waved his hand, he was still low-key in front of the team's big boss, and Vivek was still Anjiali's father.
"Okay, okay, don't be modest, you're an extremely good person both on and off the market, the second and third branches of your Chinese restaurant brand seem to have been built in New York and Portland respectively, yes, you know how to invest your salary, and your brand is quite successful, it's good, you have the talent to be a business elite." In the future, when your wealth accumulates to a certain extent, I can guide you to the technology world, and I still have a certain influence in Silicon Valley......" Vivek kept praising Terrick and advising him on his over-the-counter investments like an elder who cared about him.
Vivek's enthusiasm for Terek stunned Jimmy.
Tyrek knew that a large part of the reason why Vivek had such an attitude towards him was because of Angeli, and it seemed that Angela had said good things about herself in front of Vivek, and at this time, Tyrek also had a plan to confess to Angeli, and he wanted to show everyone his love for Angeli in the most meaningful way.
"By the way, Terek, my daughter told you that she'll be going to Orlando for the All-Star Game in two days......"
