Chapter 385: Lu's Disdain (1/5)
After sending Angie and Stevens away, Tang Shuai had a gloomy face and asked directly to Duffy: "James, I know you are smart, and I know that you are for my good, but this kind of thing, shouldn't you say hello to me in advance?" ”
Duffy was shocked by Tang Shuai's attitude, and after a while, he bowed his head and said, "I was wrong." ”
Tang Shuai said coldly: "Let's go back to the hotel first." ”
Duffy nodded, and then went back to the hotel with Tang Shuai.
Tang Shuai in the car also didn't speak, from Stevens's follow-up words, he knew that Duffy must be doing this for his good, but maybe it was the previous endorsement contract that made Duffy's heart a little inflated, and now this is a bit too self-inflicted, and he did it, and he didn't figure out that the identity relationship between the two people is a player and an agent, and now it's just a lobbying, if it involves a transaction or an endorsement contract or something in the future, and he is good at making claims, then it will be a big problem.
As a peer, he had to make Duffy understand that.
When he returned to the hotel, he said directly: "James, I'm not joking with you, if you don't be kind to me in advance in this kind of thing in the future, I will consider changing the agent." ”
"Hmm." Duffy nodded, and the look on his face showed that he regretted it.
Seeing Duffy's expression, he didn't mean to blame anymore, and then said, "Let's talk about it, what chips is Danny going to use to trade?" ”
Hearing that Tang Shuai didn't blame, and began to talk about the Celtics, after all, he was not very old, Duffy immediately smiled and said: "Danny is really ready to invest in blood this time, and I can see that Coach Brad really appreciates you." ”
"Don't lose your appetite, get straight to the point." Tang Shuai was also whetted by Duffy's words, and asked directly.
"Whatever the plan, they're going to come up with at least one of Isaiah Thomas, Avery Bradley and Marcus Smart. Plus a lotto pick, and if it does come out, it's unlikely that the Clippers will refuse. Duffy followed.
Tang Shuai was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly smiled.
Thomas, Bradley, Smart at least one, this is the absolute backcourt core of the Celtics right now, especially Thomas. It's the All-Stars that the Celtics have cultivated wholeheartedly, and they all use them as bargaining chips, and they have to add a lottery pick.
It's no wonder that Duffy is so messed up, if this chip is really opened, it is indeed as he said, and the Clippers are not likely to refuse.
It seems that what Duffy said is true, Coach Brad is really discerning and admires him.
And this time the lobbying is not only for Stevens to come, but also for General Manager Angie. Compared to the previous lobbying of the Lakers, it was full of sincerity.
Celtic, is it really a team to go to?
For the first time, he was visibly wavering about staying with the Clippers.
"Anyway, let's beat all the stars first." Tang Shuai thought for a long time and spoke.
Duffy nodded, although the trade deadline is not far away, but this kind of thing is not something that can be decided at a meeting, and they have to wait until they go back to Los Angeles to discuss it.
Finished talking. Drove Duffy back to his room, and he lay down on his own bed and fell asleep.
So tossing and turning. If he didn't rest, he would really be a little overwhelmed.
Just as the players were resting, the head coach of the Cavaliers unexpectedly met a local reporter in Toronto outside the hotel and was interviewed on the spot.
"Tarron, it's great to have you interviewed us, and first of all, congratulations on becoming the head coach of the Cavaliers. What's it like to be an All-Star head coach after three games? "Journalists don't know any nationality, and this Toronto reporter has a tricky question as soon as he asks.
"It's an honour to actually have a good winning percentage as a manager." Lu said with a smile that in the three games he coached, he led the team to a record of 2 wins and 1 loss.
"Is there any special arrangement for this All-Star Game? We know that in terms of strength, the eastern troops, as in previous years, are much weaker than those in the west. The reporter continued to ask.
"Your statement is not true, the all-star is focused on entertainment, winning or losing is not the goal, this is a gift from the stars to the audience." Lu's IQ is very good, and he copes well with the author's difficulties.
Lue's answer was watertight, but it was obviously not the answer that the Toronto reporter wanted, and he followed up and asked: "At this year's All-Star Game, there was a player whose selection was controversial, but in the last two days, he showed us great talent, he won the MVP of the rookie game, and set a new three-point contest scoring record, and even helped Aaron win the slam dunk contest, he is the starting backcourt of the Western All-Star game, and will partner with Kokobe." ”
"Who are you talking about?" Lu looked at the reporter suspiciously.
The reporter was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect such an obvious hint Lu didn't guess, and then had to say again: "Don, when he played against the Cavaliers, he and Della also had some conflicts, and Della committed a malicious foul on him. ”
"You're talking about the young man." Lew came back to his senses and said, "But what you said is not right, Dira just wanted to help the team win, and that foul was not as serious as expected." ”
"As for the other ones you mentioned, the rookie game MVP, the three-point contest champion, these accolades are a good start for a rookie, but buddy, it's not worth talking about that much." Lu said with a smile.
"This ......," the Toronto reporter was visibly shocked by what Lou said.
"In the kind of rookie game, there are mostly newcomers, and it is normal to brush up on points, but Becky has the heart to help score points, and you also said that Don is the starter of the Western All-Star team, and it is not difficult for anyone else on the All-Star team to play in a game of that level, and score like that." Lu said casually.
"But Don broke Kevin's record." The Toronto reporter reminded.
"Do you think Kevin can't score 50 points with the way he plays this year?" Lu asked disapprovingly.
Reporters in Toronto were visibly stunned.
"As for the three-point shooter, he's a good open three-point shooter, but that's about it, and when it comes to the playoffs, he'll know how painful it is to be a three-point shooter who can't hit a three-pointer under a high-pressure defense." Perhaps because of the relationship with Dellavidova, Lu not only did not feel cold to Tang Shuai, but also seemed to be a little dismissive.
