Chapter 186: Starlight Glimmer!
That night, Gu Yu and his Diao people staged a cake-smashing chase scene in the center of the team. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
The cake prepared for Gu Yu at the beginning was completely used up almost instantly. Gu Yu grabbed the cake on his face and slapped it on Evans' face with his backhand, and then everything began to be completely chaotic from this moment.
Everyone is laughing and running, a bunch of half-grown children are like returning to their childhood, and everyone is dressed in cream in this cake fight.
Soon after, someone actually called to order more cakes, and the laughter continued to ring on the pitch, and the players were happy to take a complete break and relieve the burden on their shoulders with a complete relaxation.
Although it is a bad team, although no one from the coach to the management has asked the team to enter the playoffs. But these young and energetic players always want to win. Unfortunately, the team is indeed weak, and most of the season has passed, and it is basically impossible to break into the playoffs.
This kind of resentment and dissatisfaction always needs an outlet, and the Kings are particularly energetic every time they see a strong team. It seems that in the minds of the players, being able to beat a strong team has also become a way to prove their strength.
So when the commotion was over, the stadium was in shambles, and after the team management found out, no one came out to scold the players.
That's what young people should be, isn't it?
Fortunately, in the professional training ground, no aunt or uncle will come to grab the venue and dance square dance. Otherwise, I don't know how many aunts have fallen and injured in this cream.
After a brief clean-up of the scene, the players spontaneously mopped the floor to clean up. The black players, who loved music and dance, played pop music on the pitch, and the celebration continued.
By the time it was over, it was already the middle of the night, and the tired players were in a good mood. Although it is wonderful to say, it is also an indisputable fact that this outright nonsense has brought the overall cohesion of the Sacramento Kings, which was known as the hell of basketball a season ago, to a new level.
"Purr...... Purr ......"
By the time everyone arrives in the team center lounge and is ready to simply sleep on the pitch for the night.
Gu Yu, who was covered in cream, didn't know when he was nesting here and fell asleep.
"Sleep well, tomorrow is the last game before the stardom, and then there will be a period of recuperation!"
Quietly closing the door, the veteran Yudri spoke: "We can have a period of rest and adjustment during the All-Star Weekend, and before that, in order to ensure a good mood for the All-Star Weekend, the next game will ...... Be sure to win! β
"Roar-!!"
The silent night of Sacramento, with its young flames, burned and reddened the night.
In the early hours of the next morning, Garcia, a veteran who was not used to sleeping in the team's central bed, got up and was about to walk around the center when he heard a sound coming from the training ground.
Then I opened the door and saw that Gu Yu, Gu Yu, who had slept beautifully, was already practicing.
"Yo, the old man can't sleep?"
Finding Garcia standing at the door, Gu Yu wiped the sweat on his face, smiled and waved his hand: "Come here to defend me, I want to practice singles!" β
This kid.
Garcia still has the same poker face, but in his heart, his perception of Gu Yu is getting better and better.
After that, time flies.
"No more fighting! Both sides are not fighting! The Sacramento Kings have the ball, the game is about to end, and neither side is ready to defend or attack anymore! β
The final regular season game before the All-Star break, Sacramento, Sleep Train Arena.
The Kings have another victory
ββ¦β¦ 5γ4γ3γ2γ1οΌοΌοΌ β
"Win !!"
Fans feasted their eyes on the Kings' youngsters as they unleashed a devastating offense that blew the Detroit Pistons, who were also reduced to fish belly.
"A victory! A hard-earned victory! The Sacramento Kings' regular season record exceeded expectations! β
At the end of the game, when the players on both sides shook hands and embraced, the on-site commentator on the sidelines said loudly: "Although it seems that at present, it is basically impossible for the Kings to break into the playoffs." But the team, which was predicted by experts to only have 20 wins before the start of the season, has now won 23 games, and the efforts of the young players deserve our applause and shouts! β
Inside the court, the Kings players waved to the fans, maintaining restrained joy, and then walked to the players' tunnel and left the court.
In the Wild West, a team with less than fifty wins is unlikely to make the playoffs. The Kings are still far from that goal, but the performance of the players so far this season has given the fans and the team enough confidence.
"In time, this Kings team will be able to regain its former glory! The Kings players, led by Tyrek Evans, DeMarcus Cousins, and Hairstylist, already have enough offensive talent. The next thing to do is to put all of that talent into practice and perform better on the defensive end! β
The commentator's words, and most of the critics' opinion, are like the so-called Young Guards, which have appeared in the past many years. If they can cash in on their talents and strengthen their defense, then they are the next Chicago Bulls and Portland Trail Blazers.
And if there are injuries, trades, discord within the team, or simply not cashing in on talent, the Kings may end up like a 3J's Maverick, leaving a little bit of a name in history and then disappearing.
Everything will be known in a few seasons.
βNICE-WORKοΌβ
Back in the locker room, Westphal was in a good mood, nodding frequently to the players, and after everyone's victory joy was almost cathartic, he said: "Next is the rest period, and in terms of training schedule, I will be more relaxed." Many of you have only been playing in the professional league for a short time, and there is a lot of 82 games in a season, so don't think that if you are young, you will not have physical problems. β
"For the next few days until the end of the weekend, don't practice too much and let your body relax. Our first game after All-Star Weekend starts next Tuesday, and I'm going to start working on Sunday to get back in shape and then we're going to play in the final stages of the season! β
"Yes!"
The players responded in unison, and on the young faces, there was not much slackness due to not being able to enter the playoffs.
Our goal is the future.
Everybody, you know this very well.
"Tomorrow morning off, confrontation practice in the afternoon, physical practice in the morning after tomorrow, shooting practice in the afternoon. The day after tomorrow, you will warm up in the morning, and if you want to go to the All-Star Weekend, you can arrange your own time. β
After briefly talking about the arrangements for the last few days, Westphaal announced the disbandment, but left the three people behind.
"Tyrek, DeMarcus, little ghost, stay for a moment."
ββ¦β¦ Be. β
The three of them looked at each other, and they already basically knew what the coach was going to say.
"Terec is the second time, both of you are firsts."
Looking at the three favorite generals, Westphaal smiled kindly: "This All-Star Weekend, Tyrek, you take some more, I won't go." β
ββ¦β¦ Yes? Old man, aren't you going?? β
Gu Yu asked with some disappointment: "It's in Los Angeles, it's not far away!" β
"yes, I have to stay here, it's not a matter of distance, it's that I don't have time."
Westphal nodded: "I also want to watch you enjoy the game live, but there are still players here, I have to organize the training of people who want to train, in case there is a need for me to order, I also have to answer, so there is no way." But don't worry, Terrick has been there once, and he knows the way well, so it's no problem to have him with him! β
"Don't worry, coach, I'll take the two of them with me, and then ......"
Evans looked back at Gu Yu with a smile and made a gesture to wipe his neck: "It's ...... to kill them in the arena!" β
"Yo, kill your father! You're so fat! β
"Go, go, go, get out of the way, go ......"
"Haha, stop messing around!"
Westfal nodded with a smile and said, "Little ghost, DeMarcus, remember two things. β
"Number one, relax, enjoy, All-Star Weekend is an exhibition game, it doesn't matter if you win or lose, it's about feeling the atmosphere. The two of you, no, the three of you, I am optimistic that you will be able to become an All-Star regular in the future, feel the atmosphere in advance, learn to perform, learn to please the fans, and it is also one of the jobs of professional footballers. β
"Number two, pay attention to your body, I know you all want to win, you've always been winners since you were a kid, even if it's an All-Star Game, you're definitely going to want to win games. But it's an exhibition game after all, don't joke with your body. When you don't need it, don't use too much intensity, safety first. β
"Got it!"
Gu Yu and Cousins nodded at the same time.
"And."
Westphall remembered something and added: "The head coach of this year's first-year team is Budenholzer, who is from the Spurs line. In recent seasons, the Spurs have tried a lot to speed up their offense, and his advice and tactics, you can learn a little more, will be of great help in future games. β
As he spoke, Westphal looked at Cousins: "Assistant coach McHale is a game winner, his inside footwork, defensive positioning, and understanding of the game are all great across the ages, DeMarcus, learn more from him, there are not many opportunities like this." β
"Yes!"
Cousins nodded heavily.
"Little ghost, remember what I told you? As I said, I want you to be the Ginobili of Sacramento, to be a historic microwave, and I'm going to give you more and more individual tactics and a higher and higher challenge for you. β
Looking back at Gu Yu, the old coach said earnestly: "The other assistant coach in the first grade is Carmelo Anthony, although in terms of comprehensiveness, he can't compare with LeBron and others, but his ball-holding offensive heads-up is the strongest level in the league, and learning more from him will help you a lot." β
βOKοΌβ
Gu Yu made an OK gesture and blinked.
Two days later, Los Angeles.
"All-star, Lao Tzu is here!!"
Gu Yu, Cousins, and Evans reported to Staples.
The star-studded All-Star Weekend kicked off.
