Chapter 190: Back to Sacramento

"Hey guys, my creditor is coming, don't you have anything to say?" Dante Green walked into the team's locker room with a wad of today's new newspapers, and looked at the crowd in front of him as they were changing clothes, grinning and teasing.

This summer, the Kings made a good handover, putting the former heroes of the team, the veteran Miller, and Salmons, who suddenly rose last season, in exchange for Miller and Salmons for Nocioni, Gooden and Simmons, and now only Nocioni is left in the team, and Gooden went to the Mavericks after being terminated, and Simmons is not on the team.

There are really many former acquaintances of Zhang Kong in the current Kings team, such as Dante Green, Jason Thompson and Spencer Hawes in the starting lineup, this pair of interior support has not been traded, and there are also people like Bino Udri, the original starter, but now he can only play as a substitute, Kevin Martin, who was injured again, and Francisco Garcia, who was injured with Martin, Zhang Kong used to have a lot of acquaintances in the Kings.

"Tsk, this guy's recent results are really strong, even I have some doubts, did he really not play well last season, the average of 10+10+7 per game is really a bit smacking!" Jason Thompson, who was next to him, snatched the newspaper in Dante Green's hand and watched Zhang Kong, who was reported above, once again lead the Pacers to sweep the Warriors.

Although the picture is empty, but the title is not so simple, if now because of Zhang Kong's ball skills, most places in the league have forgotten about Zhang Kong's black gold rumors, then Sacramento is definitely the place where this rumor will never go out, especially the better Zhang Kong's performance has been recently, the more unforgivable the people here in Sacramento are for him.

They all think that Zhang Kong was simply perfunctory to the fans here last season, he didn't play seriously at all, only the players in the Kings team know that Zhang Kong really couldn't attack last season, and it seems that Zhang Kong's offense was really practiced this summer.

But with the help of the team, the words of the players of this team did not reach the ears of the fans, so the fans here hated Zhang Kong more and more, but Zhang Kong didn't care, he didn't play a few games in Sacramento.

"Tsk, 12.4 points, 11.5 assists, 7.7 blocks, 1.7 rebounds per game, I'm sure he didn't have that much other than blocks last season, and if he had, it wouldn't have been Rose last year, but him!" Garcia next to him took the newspaper and read it, and Garcia still knows a lot about Zhang Kong.

"Hey, what nonsense!" At this time, Hawes, who was next to him, patted Garcia's arm and pointed to the location next to him.

There is the position of the current team leader, the new core that the team is ready to stand, this year's No. 4 rookie Tyrick Evans, at this time Evans is there tying the yarn step on his feet, after hearing the conversation of his teammates, the speed of tying Shabu slowed down significantly, looking at Evans next to him, Garcia didn't say much, just put the newspaper next to him.

That's when the team's new manager, Paul Westphal, and Martin, who had just finished his check-up, walked in from outside.

Seeing the atmosphere in the locker room, Westphal's brow furrowed slightly, and then he saw the newspaper on the bench.

"Sacramento's judgment continues to play triumphantly, with 16 points, 19 assists and 11 blocks, what else is he hiding? 》

Looking at the front page of the newspaper in front of him, Paul Westphaal also knew the reason for the dullness in the team's dressing room.

He threw the newspaper into the trash bin next to him, and it looked like he needed to do his homework for these young boys!

"Zhang, it looks like you've offended everyone in this city!" Looking at the middle finger raised outside the bus, Earl Watson, who likes to sit with Zhang Kong, said with a smile that he had never seen Zhang Kong eat turtles.

"It doesn't matter, the fans are the parents of the team owner, so they don't have much to do with me!" Zhang Kong casually pulled up the curtain next to his window, then took out a newly published comic book and read it through the light on the bus.

"You're so lonely! I don't have the consciousness of being a player at all. Mike Dunleavy next to him has also started to joke about Zhang Kong recently, because people who have been in contact with Zhang Kong for a long time will know that Zhang Kong is not too difficult to approach.

It's just that he is used to living a cold life, so he won't take the initiative to talk to others, but if you take the initiative to approach him, as long as there is no malice, Zhang Kong is still very willing to be friends with these people, just like now.

"Hi Zhang, there's good news and bad news, which one do you want to hear?" At this time, Jim O'Brien next to him also came over, he had been on the phone just now, listening to what he said, it seemed to be Larry Bird on the other side of the phone.

"I don't want to hear any!" Zhang Kong didn't give Jim O'Brien a chance to tease himself, so he directly shook his head and replied.

Hearing Zhang Kong's words, the people in the entire bus laughed, such laughter, it was so magical to dispel the shadows in the hearts of these players, after all, along the way, countless people have given the middle finger to the Pacers' bus, if there is no impact on these players at all, it is impossible, after all, people have fire, but now they are ready to vent this fire on the field, Zhang Kong and the Kings teammates have the old, but he and the King are not old.

"Let's start with the bad news! The team helped you apply for the Eastern Conference Player of the Month of November, and it didn't pass! James has robbed you of your place, there is no way, who called him the crown prince! The three words crown prince are still learned by Jim O'Brien from Zhang Kong's mouth, when Zhang Kong was a fan, he kept saying that James was David Stern's godson, so he was naturally the crown prince.

"I guessed it a long time ago!" Zhang Kong said lightly, James averaged 29.2 points per game this month, although only 8 assists ranked third in the East (first Rondo, second empty, third James), with an average of 6.7 rebounds per game, such a performance has completely interpreted what is called the identity of the king, and he has also won a triple-double, but compared with Zhang Kong's results, there are some differences, the whole league has only had four triple-doubles, one is Alston of the Nets, the other is James, the remaining two are Zhang Kong's take, the assist ranks second in the East, and the first in the East is blocked, but the score is still an image, Zhang Kong is not very good in the league, so he didn't win the Eastern Conference Player of the Month, and he also has it in his heart.

"Don't worry, there's good news! The good news is that the league gave us two of the first round of voting for the 2009-2010 All-Star Game! Jim O'Brien looked at Zhang Kong, then smiled and glanced at Granger again.

This first round of voting will not be announced now, because it will take some time to precipitate and select some players to join the list of these players, and then it will be made public, but the team will know these things in advance.

Zhang Kong and Granger on the Pacers' side were both selected for this year's back group, Granger's chances are relatively large, and Zhang Kong's chances can only be said to be average, after all, his image in the league is not particularly important, but it is quite good to be selected for the list.

Especially the first round list, everyone knows that the first round is the most important, and now the NBA official has not opened voting, but it is estimated that Zhang Kong's vote in the United States will not be too high, and the vote in China may be relatively high.

Amid the laughter, the Pacers' team bus drove onto the Kings' team parking lot.

After getting out of the car and looking at the ARCO arena in front of him, Zhang Kong was really a little emotional, after all, this is the place where his career began, and it is also the place where he really fell in love with basketball, but unfortunately, now he is going to destroy this place with his own hands.

Before the game started, Zhang Kong and his former Kings teammates bumped fists and hugged one by one, Zhang Kong left, the Kings players did not look like fans and Maluf, they had nothing to hate Zhang Kong, in their eyes Zhang Kong was a good player.

Just like the current Pacers, Zhang Kong is also a very good player in the eyes of the Pacers, even if he leaves here tomorrow and goes to play elsewhere, these Pacers players will not hate him.

Zhang Kong, who was greeting off the court, suddenly felt a chill behind him, and when he looked back, there was a young player staring at Zhang Kong viciously on the field.

recalled it in his mind, he really didn't know who this guy was, Zhang Kong shook his head and didn't take it too seriously.

"Damn it!" At this time, Maluf, who was sitting in the team box, looked at Zhang Kong off the field, and couldn't help but grit his teeth and say, 40 million US dollars, almost half his life, fixed assets can not be moved, the money he gave Zhang Kong is his own working capital, not only lost a lot in business, but also sold his two villas to make up the money.

His famous cars and watches were all sold, so he exchanged 40 million for 40 million, and in a blink of an eye, he gave Zhang Kong this guy.

"Tell Westphal to kill this guy! Kill him! Ma'auff said hatefully to the black-clothed assistant next to him, and the black-clothed assistant quickly left the room after hearing this, obviously going to pass the word!

"Kill him, kill him! No, I get angry as soon as I look at him, I want to be calm, calm down! "If Zhang Kong knew that he still had this power, he might not leave the king, and wander around in front of Ma'a'Ruf all day long, angry with him!
