The two chatted for a long time, Arenas's career is at the end of his career, all of this is irreversible, in addition to his state, the impact of injuries is also huge, Arenas's physical condition can no longer support the style of play he is good at, Arenas is Tyreco's favorite superstar, and now he is Tyreco's best friend, Tyrek wants to help Arenas, but now Terek can't do anything, he can only hope that Arenas can enjoy his last NBA time.

Two days later, the Kings hosted their next opponent at home, the Los Angeles Clippers.

The two teams have met twice this season, both on the home court of the Clippers, one win and one loss, and the two sides are tied, and now the Kings are in 2nd place in the West, and the Clippers are in 4th place in the West.

In this match on the home court of the Kings, due to Billups' injury season reimbursement, the Clippers are still facing the main lineup of Paul, Foye, Thornton, Griffin, and Jordan Jr.

No one can always be in perfect condition, and Terrick is the same, Tyrek, who won a super triple-double in the last game, is in a sluggish state in this game, and frequently makes passing errors as the team's outside offensive initiation point, and at the same time his own hand is not good, and he has also encountered Jordan Jr.'s fierce defense several times when he enters the interior line.

Tyreco's poor form is partly due to himself, and partly because of the defensive pressure he is under, and at this time, someone else needs to step up and share his pressure, so that Tyrek has a chance to adjust his condition. However, no one was able to do that in this game, and the team's interior core Cousins still started the game, but his form was still as sluggish as the last game, and the rest of the players did not have the ability to decide the trend of the game.

In the end, the Kings lost to the Los Angeles Clippers again at home, and Tyrek played 35 minutes, scoring 20 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists on 7-of-19 shooting. Cousins played two consecutive games in a sluggish manner, playing 29 minutes, scoring 9 points and 10 rebounds, shooting 0 of 4 from beyond the three-point line, and went from an all-around killer inside to an ordinary blue-collar worker.

On the other hand, the Clippers, in addition to Paul scoring 28 points and 10 assists, six scored double-doubles, and it is not surprising that the Clippers, who have blossomed more points, won this victory.

After losing to the Clippers, the Kings' record came to 26-12, and the Spurs, who had one less game, squeezed the Kings to the third place in the West with a 26-11 record, and then the Kings will start a back-to-back road trip again, and the next five games will be played on the road, and the first four games are against Eastern teams, so it can be said that the next week and a half will be another test for the Kings.

During the continuous and intensive away trip, Coach Westphal gave the players a day off before going to the away stadium as before, but due to the poor performance in the last game, Tyrek himself took the initiative to choose to practice, and he did not go to his own Tyrek basketball training center, but came to the training hall of the Sleep Train Arena.

Walking into the training hall, Tyrek looked a little surprised, a tall and strong figure wearing a headband was sweating in the training hall.

It's Cousins!

Seeing Tyreck, Cousins casually threw out the ball in his hand, wiped the sweat from his forehead with his arm, and walked towards Terrick with a smile.

"Hey, Terek, isn't it a holiday today, why are you here too?"

"I guess I'm asking you, DeMarcus......"

The two looked at each other and smiled, Cousins said: "Who made me play two games in a row, and then another wave of consecutive away games, I don't want to extend the bad form to the away trip, idle is idle, it's better to practice by myself and find the feeling......"

Tyrek walked to the court and picked up the fairway: "It's the same as I thought, it's okay to sweat here, I wasn't in shape in the last game, although we are still in 3rd place in the West, but the winning advantage between the next few teams is not obvious, plus this season is a shrinking season, we can't let our guard down at all, we must make the playoffs this season, and we have to go all out on the next road trip!" ”

"Come on, DeMarcus, I'll be your sparring partner, let's play a few balls......" Tyrek said as he tossed the ball in his hand to Cousins.

Cousins caught the ball with both hands on his chest, and the huge palm made the basketball look so small in his palm, "Good! Come on! ”

Cousins shouted excitedly, and had a one-on-one fight with Tyreck.

There is nothing to explain in this kind of alignment, after all, the positions of the two on the field are completely different, and this kind of one-on-one cannot explain the strength of the two, it is just a practice.

In the afternoon, the two of them were about to leave the training hall, "Hey, Tyrek, I feel good today, do you want to hang out together in the evening, I heard that there is a new nightclub that is good, I made an appointment with two or three friends to go together in the evening, will you come?" ”

Tyrek waved his hand, "Forget it, you go, I have to go to my Chinese restaurant in the evening, Chef Xu is back to Sacramento from Los Angeles today, I'll talk to him......"

"Okay, I know you're not interested in clubbing, the last time Caron took us there in Los Angeles...... Haha......"

"Alright, alright, you go......"

Tyrek shook his head, these Yankees really like to play in nightclubs, Tyrek is not as good as them, and it is really uncomfortable to go to nightclubs......

The next day, the team departed for the first stop of the road trip, Boston.

This is the first time the Kings will face them this season, and it will also be the last, due to the shortened season, the schedule is the only time for the Kings and the Celtics to meet each other.

Prior to this game, the Celtics were 19-17 and still in fifth place in the East, but they had opened up a big gap with the top two Miami Heat and Chicago Bulls.

Since the 07-08 season, the Celtics have formed Kevin. Garnett, Paul. Pierce, Ray. Allen's triumvirate combination, plus Rajan. Rondo has grown into the league's first-line point guard, and the Celtics have always played the role of an absolute powerhouse in the East.

Tyrek knew in his heart that in his memory the Celtics Big Three would disintegrate after this season, the Big Three combination of Garnett, Pierce, and Allen can be said to be a model of success for the star combination, and the Celtics Big Three won the championship in the first year of the combination, and the three complemented each other's styles, even if all three are now in the final years of their careers, they still have unparalleled strength.

At the same time, this time against the Celtics, due to the disintegration of the Big Three after the season, the Celtics are in the East, and Tyrek will not have any impact on the situation in the East, and this season's Celtics will also be the same as Tyrek once remembered, losing to the Miami Heat in the division finals, so this game will also be the last time Tyrek will face the Celtics Big Three on the court! This made Terek cherish this opportunity and look forward to this confrontation infinitely!
