"She didn't contact you?" Qin Yujie also looked at Tang Shuai in surprise.

"Wait a minute, I'll make a call." Tang Shuai got up as he spoke, took the phone and went to the window.

He took a deep breath to calm his emotions as much as possible, and then called Su Mei.

The phone went through, but no one answered, and when the bell ended, no one answered.

He frowned slightly, and then called again with some unwillingness, and it was still through, but still no one answered.

He hung up the phone with some chagrin and walked back.

"What, you didn't get through?" Qin Yujie saw Tang Shuai's expression and spoke.

Tang Shuai nodded, counting that he didn't see Su Mei last time he returned to China, but he didn't expect that this time the two of them were in Shanghai, and they couldn't be contacted.

"Don't think too much about it, maybe she's busy with something and doesn't see her phone." Qin Yujie said comfortingly.

Tang Shuai smiled reluctantly and said, "Come, let's continue eating." ”

After an hour of eating, they were able to eat as much as they could, and after a group of people got out of the hotel, they were ready to separate.

Although there is no training arrangement at night, the team has a rule that they must return to the hotel before what time, and if this is basically violated, the team ban is something that may happen, so after Tang Shuai came down, he was ready to take a taxi back to the hotel with Paul.

Tang Shuai's mood was not very good, he tried to call Su Mei a few more times, but he still couldn't get through, it didn't feel like Su Mei didn't see it, but deliberately didn't answer his phone.

Before parting, Qin Yujie saw him sullen, pulled him over and said: "Old Tang, I should have known that I shouldn't have told you about this, don't worry, if this affects your play, it's not worth it, if I guess correctly, Su Mei should also know that it will affect your game, so I won't answer your call, right?" ”

A flash of lightning flashed in Tang Shuai's mind, and then he immediately said with a smile: "Yes! ”

He found that he was really too stupid, what kind of character Su Mei had, he should have known a long time ago, he deliberately came from China to accompany him to participate in the draft, but he had to rush back to China on the same day, in order not to affect his affairs, if he thought so, it would be reasonable not to answer his phone, after all, if he answered at this time, it would probably take a while for the two of them to meet, not to mention that they might go out for a walk and chat or something, and delay the time to return to the hotel, which is more troublesome.

After figuring this out, his whole mood changed again, and then he and Paul took a taxi back to the hotel.

The next day, after a short day of training and recovery, the Clippers and Hornets players welcomed their second and final stop of the China Championship at the Mercedes-Benz Arena.

Mercedes-Benz Arena, the most important competition venue left over from the 2010 Shanghai World Expo, is a multi-purpose stadium with a maximum capacity of more than 18,000 seats, and is also the only stadium in Shanghai that has reached the NBA level.

On this night, the stadium was already full of people early, and the huge stadium was full, because of Yao Ming's influence, Shanghai citizens' love for basketball was beyond imagination.

Somewhat similar to the last Chinese game, this time there are fewer film and television stars coming to the stadium, but there are more sports stars.

Yao Ming, Liu Xiang, the presence of these representative sports stars, for the basketball fans on the scene, it was a ten-game existence.

Tang Shuai was shooting at this moment, and he saw Yao Ming coming over from afar.

Yao Ming has obviously gained a lot of weight after retiring, but his trademark smile is still impressive.

"Tang Shuai, we meet again." Yao Ming walked over and stretched out his hand and said.

"Da Yao!" Tang Shuai also walked over excitedly to shake hands, and he was full of respect for Yao Ming, an iconic figure of Chinese basketball, from the bottom of his heart.

"Last time, I didn't have time to stay and talk to you more, but afterwards I was talking to me about you, and you said that you won him single-handedly." Yao Ming ripped off the stubble as he spoke, and his talkative words seemed to be one of the reasons why he was able to perform well in the NBA.

"Haha, that's probably for me." Tang Shuai said modestly that Wang Zhizhi is a senior in Chinese basketball, and his current general footsteps are still equipped, so he is naturally also full of respect.

"Hey, Yao!" Paul came over at this time and said with a smile that he had played against Yao Ming in the NBA, and this was not his first time in China, so he was naturally familiar with Yao Ming.

"Hey, CP3, how's your hand? I see you're not wearing a suit today, are you ready to play? Yao Ming looked at Paul with a smile.

"It's just a small injury, you're here today, how can I not fight?" Paul said with a smile.

A few people chatted for a while.

"Hey, Da Yao, Tang Shuai, let's take a group photo!" At this moment, a local reporter from Shanghai ran over to the sidelines and shouted at them.

"Yes, let's take a group photo, I have to keep a souvenir too." Paul walked to Tang Shuai's right side as he spoke, and after he walked, he couldn't forget to say, "Tang, this time you stand next to Yao, the pressure is too great." ”

The three people stood together to take pictures, Tang Shuai understood why Paul was standing on the other side, it stands to reason that his height of one meter nine is not short among the Chinese, but when he stood next to Yao Ming, especially Yao Ming was sideways, but still twice as tall as himself, it was really stressful.

After taking a group photo, the game was about to start, and Yao Ming also retreated to the VIP room on his second floor.

This is the second game of the game between the two sides in China, and the starting lineups of both sides have been changed compared to the previous game, and on the Hornets side, Jeremy Lin, who has performed well in the previous three preseason games, has appeared in the starting lineup, and he will play as the backcourt of the Hornets alongside Walker.

On the Clippers' side, after a one-game break, Paul also ushered in a comeback and appeared in the starting lineup.

In the last game, the two sides played until the final countdown to determine the winner, and this time Paul came back, the Clippers had the advantage on the books, but it was another matter to really play the game.

Because Tang Shuai has not yet appeared, the fans at the scene dedicated their support and cheers to the Chinese Jeremy Lin, who also performed extremely bravely after entering the starting lineup, in the first half of the first quarter, he scored 10 points in a single quarter by himself.

It was with his excellent play that the Hornets dominated the game and led the Clippers by four points with about 4 minutes left in the first quarter, 21-17.

The clock came to the first official timeout, and both sides made a change to the lineup.

"Austin, Don, Josh, you're ready to play." As soon as the timeout began, Reeves yelled at the bench.

Tang Shuai was somewhat surprised to be called by his name so quickly, but when he saw that he was playing with Little Reeves, he suddenly felt a big head.

Prince, this is trouble.
