Chapter 91: A Frequent Visitor to the Penglai Pavilion

With a win over the Memphis Grizzlies and a three-game winning streak, the Kings returned home to face the visiting Atlanta Hawks. The Hawks have been very competitive in the East in recent years, and since the 07-08 season, they have not missed the playoffs for four consecutive years. Johnson, 2-time All-Star Al Ayer. Horford, '05 slam dunk king Josh. Smith's three star players, in addition to the young point guard Jeff Smith, who was promoted to the starting line this year. Teague, 05 year list eye Marvin. Williams, defensive titan Zaza. Pachuria, experienced point guard Kirk. With a team of quality players such as Hinrich, the Hawks are not an easy team to deal with.

Facing the Eagles, Westphall coach unexpectedly changed the team's starter, Jimmy Brown. Butler was promoted to the starting line-up, partnering Terek at the back, bringing in the 29-year-old Benno. Yudri was put on the bench.

Jimmy. Butler got the opportunity to play in the first three games of this season, but they were all substitutes, playing 16 minutes, 17 minutes, 13 minutes, and contributing an average of 3.4 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist per game.

Only played three games Jimmy. Butler got the chance to start, and Tyreco was very happy for Jimmy, which also surprised Tyreek, but it was reasonable, after all, in today's Kings team, except for Tyreck, Cousins and West, who are iron starters, no one else is firmly in the starting position.

The Eagles posed for Jeff at the Sleep Train Arena. Teague, Joe. Johnson, Marvin. Williams, Josh. Smith, Al. Horford's starting lineup, the Hawks don't care about Cousins' outside ability, Josh Bush. Smith and Al. Horford's two mobile interior players are not afraid of outside defense, but in the low-post game, they don't have an advantage in the face of a strong interior combination of Cousins and West.

Marvin in the number three position. Williams and now Caron, whose athletic ability is declining. Butler is also a half-hearted, and Jeff is a backcourt combination. Teague is a qualified starting point guard, but his ability is not outstanding. Johnson is arguably the Eagles' strongest offensive point, especially in singles. The two of them are not inferior to the backcourt composed of Tyrek and Jimmy, but the Kings took the initiative on the court in the first quarter of this game, and a big reason is because of the backcourt matchup.

Jimmy. Butler was conscientious on the defensive end and greatly limited Joe. Johnson's play, Johnson was completely out of shape in this game, and the shooting rate was extremely low, which cannot be said to be entirely due to Jimmy, but Jimmy did a good job of defending Johnson. The Hawks' starting point guard, Jeff. Teague was completely blown up by Tyrek at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, and Tyrek played as he wanted throughout the game, which can be said to be the most comfortable game for Tyrek this season.

In the end, the Kings defeated the Hawks 113-94 at home, celebrating a four-game winning streak, Tyrek scored a season-high 37 points, contributed 37 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists, and the rest of the players also played steadily. Butler played 28 minutes in the game, contributing 8 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists, although the statistics were mediocre, but it met Coach Westfale's expectations, and played a tough defense throughout the game.

After beating the Hawks, the Kings embarked on a three-game road trip, starting with the Los Angeles Lakers.

The game against the Lakers will be played in three days, and the day after the game against the Hawks, Coach Westfair gave the players a day off, after all, the next few days of the schedule are tighter, and the players also need to relax properly. At this time, Tyrek had already gone to Los Angeles on his own after getting permission from Coach Westfale.

The reason why Terek went to Los Angeles first was because he had his first branch in Penglai Pavilion in Los Angeles, and now this Chinese restaurant has been open for several months, and Terek has not been there since except when it was unveiled, and this time he is going to Los Angeles to play a game, and Terek naturally has to care about his own industry.

"Hey, Master Xu, are you in the store in Los Angeles now?" Tyrek drove up near the Los Angeles branch of Penglai Pavilion and dialed Master Xu's phone.

Since the business of the Sacramento main store has been basically stable, Master Xu has been working in Los Angeles since the opening of the Los Angeles branch, after all, Master Xu is the master chef of the Penglai Pavilion, and now he is also one of the top executives of the Penglai Pavilion.

"Hey, boss, of course! I was instructing two new chefs in the back kitchen......" In addition to Master Xu's voice on the phone, there was also a noise in the kitchen.

"Master Xu, you go to the first intersection of the street in front of the store to look for me, I just arrived, are there many people in the store? I don't want to cause trouble, you take me in through the back door......"

"Oh? Boss, why are you here, okay, okay, I'll come to you right away! ”

Chef Xu took Terek to a private room upstairs in the store, the Los Angeles branch is very modern, the second floor box surrounds the lobby on the first floor, and each box has beautiful floor-to-ceiling glass to see the entire lobby.

At this time, it was lunchtime, Terek leaned on a chair and looked at the lobby of the restaurant on the first floor, and said with satisfaction: "Master Xu, this business is good......

Master Xu pulled a chair and sat next to Tyrek with a flattering face, and said, "That's not the personal charm of the boss, the Chinese restaurant opened by the NBA superstar, how many people come here in a big city like Los Angeles......"

Tyrek waved his hand, "Ugh...... Master Xu, it also needs to be done well......"

Master Xu suddenly said excitedly: "Boss, Kobe Bryant tonight. Bryant booked a private room in the store, as if he wanted to entertain friends! ”

"Yo......" Terrick was a little surprised.

"Boss, you don't know, since the Penglai Pavilion opened in Los Angeles, Kobe. Bryant has been here several times, and he's almost a regular at the store......"

"Oh...... Dude, he's really a show......" Tyrek said with a laugh.

"Well, to tell you the truth, part of the popularity of the Los Angeles branch should be Kobe. Bryant is the absolute star of the city, and he can compete with Kobe. Bryant dined at the same restaurant, which is also something to talk about......"
