Chapter 102: New Recruit Press Conference (Ask for Recommendation Votes!)

Tang Shuai jumped up from his seat suddenly, looking at the document in his hand excitedly, and couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart.

Su Mei, Su Mei passed the UCLA scholarship application!

In other words, Su Mei has decided to come to the United States!

Duffy looked at Tang Shuai's excited appearance and said with a smile: "How about it, this is also good news, right?" ”

Tang Shuai took two deep breaths, his excited mood stabilized a little, and he continued, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?" ”

"If I tell you, will you still be able to endure training?" Duffy asked.

"Yes, too." Tang Shuai smiled and scratched his head.

"Sue has only been in the United States for a year this time, and she is not here for tourism, she is going to work as an assistant coach at UCLA to learn the coaching style of American college basketball, so you should not be too excited." Duffy reminded.

"It's okay, it's okay, didn't you tell me last time that you can apply for a green card after working in the United States for one year? When the time comes, it will not be easy to reissue one for her. Tang Shuai said with a smile, he really didn't expect Su Mei to have made a decision and chose UCLA, you must know that this school is in Los Angeles!

"You're thinking too much, Su didn't say that she wanted to live in the United States for a long time, but you helped her make a decision first." Duffy shook his head helplessly.

"Well, it seems to be too, haha, but it doesn't matter, I know my coach." Tang Shuai waved his hand and said.

"Okay, let's not talk about that, the Clippers have a press conference in two days, and you're going to be there with Lance Stephenson, Paul Pearce, Jordan, Austin Reaves, that Brandon Dawson, oh yes, and Josh Smith, who was recently signed."

"What? Did Josh sign with us? Tang Shuai asked in surprise, he put all his energy into training during this time, Duffy was afraid of affecting his training, and he would not tell him any news from the outside world, so he was still surprised to hear Smith's signing, you must know that Smith played smoothly in the Rockets last season.

"Well, and it's a base salary." Duffy said with a hint of disdain, "His agent really got his head caught in the door." ”

"Forehead......" Tang Shuai glanced at Duffy and said curtly, "It seems to be a little." ”

After Tang Shuai signed the contract, he didn't forget to take a photo, and then sent it to his sister who was far away in China with his mobile phone.

When my sister saw Tang Shuai's screenshot, and then saw the five or six zeros that followed, especially when the unit was still in dollars, she almost fainted, but fortunately, she pinched her own people in time.

She took her mobile phone, didn't stop for a moment, and then went directly to her mother's house by skipping work.

Mother was sorting through the little cans he was doing business with.

"Mom, don't get it, your son is a millionaire, no, a multimillionaire!"

As soon as my sister entered the room, she saw what her mother was working on, and immediately reached out to stop him.

"What?" The mother looked at her sister in disbelief.

The sister handed the mobile phone to her mother, and with her own experience, her hands were ready, and as soon as her mother fainted, she would immediately pinch someone.

But she waited for a long time, and her mother didn't faint.

She turned her head sideways to see that her mother's eyes were already full of tears.

"Xiaoshuai, it's finally out of ......"

Mother said in a choked voice.

On August 20, 2015, U.S. time, at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, USA, in the media interview area, the Los Angeles Clippers held a new signing press conference here.

In the past offseason, the Clippers have made a lot of gains, in addition to the contract extensions of Austin Reaves and DeAndre Jordan, they also obtained Lance Stephen Moon and Kerr Aldridge through trades, and signed Paul Pierce and Josh Smith on the free market, plus this year's draft to get Tang Shuai and Brandon Dawson, it can be described as an unprecedented harvest, it is not an exaggeration to say that this time the appearance of new signings covers almost half of the Clippers team.

The players sat in two rows behind the table.

Tang Shuai sat on the far right of the second row, and next to him was Josh Smith, speaking of which, the two of them had a quick glimpse in the Rockets' arena before, but they didn't expect to meet again so soon, and it was at the press conference of another team, this is really fate.

Sitting on the front row were the team's head coach Doug Reaves, along with the team's two ace signings, DeAndre Jordan and Paul Pearce.

The press conference began shortly after the reporters arrived.

"Coach Doug, this time the Clippers' new lineup can be said to be the strongest in recent years, does this mean that the Clippers' goal this year is to win the championship?" At the beginning of the press conference, reporters from CNN (CNN) were the first to ask questions.

"There's no doubt about it, we had a chance to win the championship last season, but we lacked a bit of luck, and this year the team has put a lot of effort into bringing in these good players in the hope of hitting the championship again." Reaves replied calmly and relaxedly, and it was clear that he was confident in the Clippers' new season.

……

Media reporters are constantly asking questions, most of which revolve around the team's two aces, Jordan and Pierce, occasionally mentioning Smith in the back row, and as for the others, they have been sitting there a little awkwardly from the beginning to the present.

Tang Shuai felt a little bored, and couldn't help but play with the jersey in his hand.

Before the press conference, the players had the opportunity to choose their shirt numbers, except for the existing numbers of the players in the squad and those who had retired from the shirts.

Tang Shuai wanted to choose the No. 24 jersey as early as when he was on the college team, and the impression left by Kobe Bryant was lingering in his generation, but the number of their school team was from 1 to 12, so he didn't have this opportunity, so when choosing the jersey, the first question he asked was whether there was a candidate for the No. 24 jersey.

At this time, I have to say that it is a lucky thing to be in a team with a short history like the Clippers, at least when choosing the jersey number, the Clippers have not retired any number, and no one else in the current and new signings wants this number, so naturally, he chose the No. 24 without much effort.

He's playing with his jersey boringly, hoping the show ends soon.

At this moment, a reporter from FOX stood up and asked: "Coach Doug, we all know that Jamal (referring to Jamal Crawford) was the team's most consistent bench scorer last year, but the team still traded him to get draft picks and selected Tang Shuai, a rookie from China, does this mean that Jamal previously played a role in the team that needs to be played by Tang Shuai?" ”

As soon as the reporter finished asking, Reeves, who was originally smiling, suddenly put away his smile and remained silent without speaking.

The originally happy press conference suddenly fell into silence inexplicably.

Tang Shuai also raised his head at this time.

"Coach Doug?" The reporter stood there with some embarrassment, reminding the silent Reeves.

"You may be seated." Reaves came back to his senses, he pondered for a moment, and then said, "Jamal has been with the Clippers for three seasons, and in these three years, his contribution is irreplaceable, and the starting point of his trade team is to give other players more opportunities, as for the work he did before, Paul and Lance are both experienced players, and I believe they can make up for this very well, right, Paul?" ”

"Doug is right, I'm going to dedicate the last energy of my career to the Clippers." Pierce said with a smile.

Tang Shuai "chuckled" in his heart at this time, Reeves didn't mention him just now, it seems that this day is still not very easy.
