After ending the exchange with Nash, Tang Shuai left the training hall with a smile on his face.

Nash didn't accede to his request, but he called in a replacement to help.

White Chocolate Williams, his career is not too good, especially compared to a superstar like Nash, he is at most a starter, and in his peak season, he only averaged 14 points and 8 assists per game, and the star may not be counted.

But there's one thing he can't do with any other point guard, passing.

Erratic, unpredictable, unbelievable, unthinkable, unpredictable, these are all words that can be used to describe his passing, and if Nash's basketball theory is what he admires, then White Chocolate is clearly the perfect player to bring this theory to life.

No player can pass the ball to that extent, and that's the same as Carter's dunk, which is unique in the league and is another basketball aesthetic.

Of course, Tang Shuai also knows about white chocolate, and if you really want to talk about creative passing, he is indeed one level better than Nash.

Although he didn't know the skill package of White Chocolate, Tang Shuai still excitedly agreed.

It's just that the day is not today, White Chocolate is now in a state of retirement, although he is at home, he also needs Nash to ask him out.

When he returned to the team, the players couldn't help but ridicule him again, saying that he would find someone to go on a date in the daytime.

Tang Shuai has long been accustomed to this kind of ridicule, and even this kind of ridicule can be said to be a portrayal of the harmonious atmosphere in the team, and he naturally enjoys it.

After a relatively easy schedule, the Lakers are facing their real challenge of the season.

They will be challenging for first and second place in the West over the next three days.

The Warriors have long been relegated that they don't have to play this season and will directly award the championship to the Warriors, and their performance is indeed the same, except for the unexpected loss of the game with the Grizzlies, they are now at the top of the league with a 17-1 record.

Spurs, Duncan is 40 years old, and the news of retirement in the offseason is very loud, but he still decided to play for the team for another year, and the GDP that is a year old is still not favored in the offseason, but after the start of the regular season, other teams still feel super dominant, and the 15-3 record has said it all.

The Lakers are going to take on these two teams in a row, and they're both on the road, and God knows how that schedule came out.

The good news is that the Lakers have just won seven in a row and are in hot form.

On December 16, US time, the Lakers flew to Oakland to challenge the Warriors.

Because of Tang Shuai's joining, and because of the "shame" of being eliminated by the Clippers last year, this game attracted countless Golden State fans, you must know that the main hero of the Clippers' elimination of the Warriors last year was Tang Shuai, who averaged 40+ per game, and now he has changed teams, but Tang Shuai is still the core.

There are many Chinese in Auckland, and this game naturally attracted countless Chinese spectators.

At the beginning of the game, the Lakers showed their seven-game winning streak, and the opening game was evenly matched with the Warriors under the leadership of Gasol and Don Shuai.

The fans at the scene were amazed one after another, you must know that after Durant joined, the previous games of the Warriors could be described as devastating, but now the two teams are so anxious, which naturally surprises and excites them.

At the end of the first quarter, the two teams were tied at 30.

However, in the second quarter, the Warriors showed their absolute strength, and Durant led the team's bench group to directly collapse the Clippers' bench group.

A team with three top-10 MVPs and an 11th place finisher is really unreasonable to play, and even more exaggerated, these guys can play without the ball.

Tang Shuai and the Lakers players launched a wave of counterattacks in the third quarter, Tang Shuai broke out on the offensive end, even burst into shots, and scored 12 points in a single quarter, but he also experienced the feeling of two fists and four hands, under the Warriors' super fast offensive and defensive rhythm, even Gasol seemed to be more than capable of strength.

101-111, the Lakers finally lost the game by 10 points, and Tang Shuai scored 39 points, but he was still no match for the Warriors' three giants.

Curry 29, Thompson 25, Durant 32, the three of them accounted for almost half of the Warriors' scores, such a performance is difficult not to win.

After the loss to the Warriors, the Lakers didn't have time to rest before they got on a plane to San Antonio.

Trying their best to still lose to the Warriors was a bit of a blow to the team's morale, and against the Spurs again, the game was already unlucky.

At the beginning of the game, the Spurs' defensive intensity put the Lakers' offense in a quagmire, which could only be maintained by Tang Shuai's scoring.

Wave. Povic is the top coach in the league, and after seeing that the other players of the Lakers are not in shape, he directly let the other players half-circle the front defense, cutting off the previous connection between Tang Shuai and his teammates.

Green's stalking, after the breakthrough, Leonard assisted the defense, and cut off most of the passing routes, Tang Shuai is not a hundred shots after all, and his scoring efficiency has also declined.

90-110, after four quarters of fierce battles, the Lakers lost to the Spurs, and suffered two consecutive defeats after seven consecutive wins.

In the post-match press conference, Wharton expressed his dissatisfaction with the schedule, which was difficult for any other team to win.

Walton's complaints are understandable, but with 82 games in a season and 30 teams in the NBA, sometimes this situation is unavoidable, and a team like the Lakers, which was a fish belly last season, naturally did not consider so much when scheduling the schedule.

The loss was frustrating, but Tang was aware of a more important message, especially the loss to Spurs.

His current ability can be said to be almost the same as the top superstars in the league, but more often than not, he is alone, and the connection with his teammates is more tactical, lacking that kind of creative passing, so he is like a wave. With an experienced coach like Povic severing the link between his teammates and him, it was very slim for the team to win.

The day after the game against the Spurs, Wharton gave the players a day off, and Tang Shuai rested on the sofa in the living room.

In the kitchen, Duffy is busy with his first fruit salad.

Su Mei never came back, Anna also went to New York to work, and Duffy was bored living alone, so he moved to Tang Shuai's villa for a few days.

As a tech otaku, he spends most of his time fiddling with his slab, and today I don't know why he suddenly got interested, and after buying fruit, he went straight to make a fruit salad.

"It's finally done." After a while, Duffy walked out of the kitchen with a plate of fruit salad in his hand, and looking at his sweaty appearance, people who didn't know thought that he had just made a big meal in the kitchen, not the ugly salad in front of him.

"Jaime, you don't have this talent, so why bother yourself." Tang Shuai looked at the bowl of fruit salad and said with a wry smile.

"Everything is difficult at the beginning, I read on the Internet that fruit salad can effectively eliminate electronic radiation, so you will have a good mouth in the future." Duffy said as he put the fruit salad on the table, grabbed a toothpick, and poked an apple up.

Tang Shuai shook his head helplessly, no wonder he suddenly became interested, it turned out that he had seen that kind of thing.

"By the way, how is BMW's endorsement contract considered?" Duffy said as he put the apple in his mouth, frowning, as if something was not right, but he chewed hard a few times before swallowing it.

"I'm still thinking about it, their contract is not small, but I'm wondering if I want to give this opportunity to domestic companies, and we don't seem to be so short of money now." Listening to Duffy get down to business, Tang Shuai sat up straight from the sofa.

"12 million in 2 years, this contract is not small, and it is not to say that I will send you the latest 760Li, it is still a customized version, your broken Cruze has long been replaced." Duffy poked a small piece of banana again, but this time he didn't chew it, and swallowed it in one go.

"I'll think about it again." Tang Shuai stretched out his hand and was about to poke a fruit with a toothpick to eat, but he picked it up and looked at the appearance, and then saw Duffy's expression when he ate it, and put down the toothpick again.

At that moment, the hand in his pocket rang.

He picked it up and saw that it was Nash calling.

He was overjoyed, and got up from the couch.

"Don, Jason has agreed to my request, and you can meet him as soon as tomorrow."

"Steve, I'm sorry for you."

"I don't need to thank you, I'll be there on the day we meet, and I'm looking forward to your performance."

Hanging up the phone, Tang Shuai excitedly reached out and clenched his fists, and made a "yes" movement on his chest.

Duffy finally gave up his salad, looked at him curiously, and said, "What happened to excite you like that?" ”

Tang Shuai walked back to the sofa and sat down with an excited face, and then said, "I remember I told you before about Nash guiding me, no, I will be able to compete with White Chocolate tomorrow." ”

"It turned out to be this, I remembered what you said, you said that you were going to play a 3-on-3 match with him, do you want to know who the other two places are?" Duffy asked.

"Oh yes, that's a thing, I'll have to ask Lance and Corey if they have time." Tang Shuai was about to pick up his mobile phone as he spoke.

"Wait a minute." Duffy suddenly stopped him at this time, "It's not appropriate for you to find them, and it won't necessarily be a good thing if you lose or win at that time." ”

Duffy said this, Tang Shuai put down the phone, this is indeed the case, they are all friends, he won, wait for Bai Chocolate to think that it is another person who helps him release water, if he loses, the teammate who helped Bai Chocolate will be upset.

"You have a lot of ideas, so what do you say you want to do?" Tang Shuai said and looked at Duffy, he must have a plan in his heart if he said this.

"Fans." Duffy really had an idea, looked at Tang Shuai with a smile and said. (To be continued.) )
