Chapter 81: The 11th Rookie Debut

As the game progressed, the scores of the two teams alternated and the Magic's super center Dwight Brown. Howard began to gradually get into the rhythm, frequently responding to the Kings' offense with frequent inside singles. Turkoglu also played form, through Howard's strong containment on the inside, Turkoglou himself shot his own shots, but also successfully connected the team, and JJ Redick on the outside also hit two three-pointers, and by the end of the second quarter with 3:20 left, the Sacramento Kings led the Orlando Magic by seven points at 44-37.

At this time, Tyrek got 10 points, 2 rebounds and 7 assists.

At the same time, the Kings made personnel changes, and Kenneth Brown, one of the four rookies this year, made personnel changes. Farid and Isaiah. Thomas replaces Terrick and West. DeMarcus. Cousins also returned to the court in place of Whiteside, who played a few minutes in the second quarter, and although there was nothing he could do to face Howard on the defensive end, and on the offensive end, he only relied on a dunk created by a Tyrek breakaway, but he still did a good job in the defensive process.

Tyrek sat on the sidelines, next to Whiteside, who had gone off the field with him, and on the other side was Jimmy, who had not yet been given a chance to play. Butler, Tyrek wiped his sweat with a towel and whispered: "Hassan, play okay, just do what you can and show your value on the field!" Jimmy, you don't have to play a great performance, play your part, and get more playing time is the key! ”

The two people next to him were willing to be Tyreck's younger brothers, and they couldn't stop nodding, and at this time, Farid and Thomas, who had just come on the court, also began to do their best to show themselves, this was their first official appearance in the NBA, and they also hoped that they could have a beautiful debut.

Isaiah. Thomas controls the ball in the front court, he is only 1.75 meters tall, standing on the huge basketball court, and with a group of tall and strong men around him, he looks extremely short. In the mind of Kings head coach Westfale, Thomas's tactical position can be said to be minimal, and there is no big expectation to replace him on the court, just to give Tyrek and Udri plenty of rest, and at the same time, today is also the debut, you can see his actual performance.

Thomas also knows that he doesn't have many opportunities in the team now, and his height disadvantage and draft background at the end of the second round doomed him to rely on his own efforts to grasp every rare opportunity to get ahead. However, although Thomas has just joined the team, his positive and enthusiastic personality makes him very popular with his teammates, Thomas has called his teammates to cover for him in the frontcourt, and everyone is happy to cooperate with this small man.

With Thomas's signal, Cousins pulled out from the inside to cover him, Thomas is small, but extremely fast, and at the same time the center of gravity is extremely low, the dribble is extremely stable, after bypassing the screen, Thomas dexterously moves with the ball, and shoots near the free throw line!

"Bang!"

Pop up!

With the flying of the basketball, there was a chaos under the basket, and the players on both sides began to grab the board, and suddenly a figure rose into the air, a long flowing braid fluttered at will, and the tendon flesh of the body was very visually impactful, the speed of the bullet was fast, and the height was so high, which was amazing.

It's Farid! He raised his hands and firmly grasped the ball flying in mid-air, pressing Glenn. Davis, smash the ball into the basket! Supplement the deduction every other person!

Farid, who was hanging from the basket, jumped down and shouted excitedly!

"Wow!" In the face of such a violent goal, the audience was also amazed.

At the moment of Farid's goal, the Kings' bench was also boiling at the same time, and Whiteside grabbed Tyrek and stood up in shock. Butler also hugged his head and sighed, Terrick also covered his mouth in shock, and a group of people pulled each other, squirting all kinds of vulgar words to express their emotions......

"Wow! Oh, my God! Farid is also too ...... "sideline commentator David. Steele was shocked to have no words to express his feelings.

"It's brutal...... This explosive power ...... Ferocious, too ferocious, this Farid is too athletic and motivated...... "Matt. Augustus also couldn't stop admiring.

After scoring this wonderful dunk that can be selected as one of the top 10 balls, Farid was in good shape to explode, running all over the court, and the enthusiasm at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends can be said to be the highest on the team, and he completely played his own style when he officially appeared on the NBA court for the first time. If Petri had been watching the game, he would have thought he had picked up a treasure......

And Thomas, who played at the same time as Farid, failed to play another blind single after missing his first shot, because he was eager to show himself. At the same time, on the defensive end, due to the obvious disadvantage of his height, it is completely a huge defensive black hole, and he can't defend anyone at all. The offense didn't play, the defense was seriously delayed, and before the second quarter was over, Coach Westafar replaced Thomas with Udri.

At halftime, the Sacramento Kings still led the Orlando Magic by six points, ending the first half 53-47.

The 15-minute halftime break ended quickly, and the third quarter returned to the game, and the Orlando Magic, who had been behind for the entire first half, found their form first. Richardson found his touch outside the three-point line, two consecutive three-pointers to close the score of the two teams, and then Howard singled Cousins to score, followed by another pass in and out, Nelson seized the opportunity to hit a three-point shot!

Just over 2 minutes into the third quarter, the Magic equalized the score, and the two teams were tied at 58-58.

Coach Westafar had no choice but to call a timeout.

"Hey, hey, hey! What's going on?! Can't defend after 15 minutes of rest?! So loose! Get some energy and strengthen your perimeter defense! ”

Back in the game, Coach Westafar made personnel changes, and Tyrek strongly recommended Jimmy Brown, who was highly recommended to the team during this year's draft. Butler replaces Udri. When Jimmy came on, Tyrek nodded at him and motioned for him to behave, and Jimmy responded with a determined look in his eyes.

Jimmy. Butler is not like Isaiah. Thomas, Thomas can't do anything on the defensive end, so he can only hope to play well in the offense. And Jimmy has enough physical fitness and good defensive attitude, this Kings team has Tyreck, Cousins, and even West on the offensive end, and the offensive is not Jimmy to worry about, as long as he can put the right attitude and do a good job of defense, he will definitely be able to gradually gain the trust of the coach.
