Chapter 545: New Signings Announcement

Barnes patted his chest, took the ball and continued to lunge inside, a ball that looked very similar to the previous round.

Tang Shuai is not stupid, he didn't guard in one place, it is impossible to fall in the same place again, this time he did not come to the Barnes to fight hard, but gathered his strength to put Barnes inside.

Barnes felt that the defensive intensity was much smaller, and thought that Tang Shuai had lost his judgment because of the previous goal, so he took advantage of the situation to speed up, and after squeezing Tang Shuai away, he raised his hand to put a light basket.

The action of this ball was very elegant, and Ezeli on the sidelines couldn't help but shout "Beautiful!" ”

However, at the moment when Barnes shot the ball, a dark shadow pressed directly overhead.

Although Tang Shuai deliberately put this ball, he was always next to Barnes, and under his pressure, it was almost impossible for Barnes to complete the score by dunking, and even such a shot was indeed as beautiful as Aizeli shouted.

But in fact, because of the big bus power pack, he is in an advantage in the power confrontation with Barnes, which gives him enough spare strength to jump in the confrontation, and the existence of the UFO dunk bag allows him to completely occupy air supremacy.

"Smack!"

Tang Shuai's movements were not elegant at all, but they were violent, he was like playing volleyball, and his two hands directly slapped the fan and flew out of the court.

"Oh no!" Stephenson shouted mischievously with his fingers open to his face.

"This is definitely a dehumanizing cap~" Gasol also shook his head on the side.

Barnes was completely stunned, he couldn't have imagined that after he squeezed Tang Shuai away, he would suffer such a big blow in the end, and he didn't even know how Tang Shuai did it......

"It's my turn." Tang Shuai didn't pick up the ball that was flown off the court, but took out a ball from the basket again, walked outside the three-point line, and then said to Barnes.

Barnes came to his senses and shook his head, his mouth shuttering as if he was cheering himself on.

Tang Shuai didn't give Barnes another chance, and in order to convince Barnes of the loss, he used a back-to-back single and a three-point shot to complete the offense in the next two rounds.

When the final three-pointer came to light, Barnes looked frustrated.

Tang Shuai not only defeated him, but also showed a wealth of offensive means in a one-on-one bullfight, and it is no exaggeration to say that aside from Tang Shuai's "unexpected" miss, this was an overwhelming confrontation.

"Congratulations to the owner for beating Harrison Barnes and knocking down the purple North Carolina Flying Eagles triple pack/dunk pack/defense pack, pick it up?"

When Tang Shuai appeared in the different dimensional space of the packaging system, he couldn't help but scratch his head when he looked at the several purple skill packs floating in front of him, and then looked at the test attributes of the skill packs.

North Carolina Flying Eagle ......

Because he graduated from the University of North Carolina, a well-known NCAA school, and has excellent physical fitness, Barnes has this title after entering the league, but this is famous and domineering, but his strength is really average......

Because the salary cap increased by more than 20 million in one year, the free agent market in 2016 was a scene full of checks. The most exaggerated Grizzlies renewed Mike Conley with a 150 million contract in history, and then signed Parsons, who was out of injury for almost a season, with a 4-year max salary contract, and even Mozgov, a player who rarely had the opportunity to play in a season, got a 4-year 64 million contract from the Rockets.

But that's just relative, the attributes of Barnes's purple skill packs are all the ones with low skill packs of the same level, and their potential is not half a star worse than that of players like Porzingis who had exclusive skill packs when they were rookies.

"North Carolina Flying Eagle rebounding bag." After glancing at the skill package, Tang Shuai finally chose the rebounding package.

"Master, don't you choose a purple skill pack?" Xiao Luo asked in some surprise.

"Well, because...... That's what works. Tang Shuai said with a wry smile.

The three-pack Nowack three-pack on his body is obviously much more useful, the dunk package already has Carter's, as for the defensive package, the president's defensive package attributes are higher, in contrast, the blue rebounding package and free throw package are what he can use, but Barnes's blue skill package attribute is also low, and it is not as high as his shooting rate with exclusive dry pull free throws, so the rebounding package has become the only option.

Originally, Tang Shuai was going to develop the scoring and organizational ability of the guard first, but now it seems that it is not completely useless to have a rebounding package first, after all, it is also very cool to get a bunch of triple-doubles like Kidd.

Coming out of the space of another dimension, Tang Shuai saw the frustration on Barnes's face, and he did not treat Little Reeves like before, after all, after a season of baptism, his whole person has become much more mature.

He stepped forward, suddenly reached out and hooked up with Barnes's shoulder, shook it twice hard, and said, "Hey, don't be in a daze, it's just playing, the Purple and Gold Army is still waiting for us to revivenation?" Get some spirit! ”

Barnes looked at Tang Shuai stunned, and laughed after a while: "Yes, we want to revive the Lakers." ”

Although he is not good at communicating, he is not stupid, Tang Shuai is clearly giving him a step.

Tang Shuai smiled at him when he heard what Barnes said, and then pulled him to the rest of the Lakers, pointed at Stephenson and shouted: "Lance, you have to settle the accounts when you turn around!" ”

As soon as these words came out, they immediately caused a burst of laughter from the team members.

Those few hundred dollars didn't matter to any of them at all, and Tang Shuai successfully changed the topic with one sentence.

Gasol secretly gave Tang Shuai a thumbs up.

A group of people left the training ground laughing.

After five preseason games, Tang Shuai and his teammates on the Lakers will officially usher in their journey for the new season.

On October 26, US time, with less than 4 days left before the start of the regular season, the Lakers held their new signing press conference for the new season.

Originally, this press conference should have been held earlier, but because Tang Shuai and Batum were both competing in the Rio Olympics, and then Batum returned to the team late because of personal affairs, the press conference was also delayed.

Tang Shuai, Batum, Barnes, Brewer, Stephenson, Ezeli......

A group of new Lakers players sat in two large rows, and compared to when Tang Shuai joined the Clippers, this battle was only a big one.

In fact, Kupchak's series of actions in the summer completely reborn the Lakers, and the Lakers remained with the team last season only a few role players such as Nick Young.

Tang Shuai, Batum and Barnes were naturally the focus of the conference.

After the interview with the new coach Wharton, the reporters immediately focused on Tang Shuai, who naturally paid close attention to the new favorite after witnessing Tang Shuai lead the team to a single-core elimination of the Warriors last season.

"Don, joining the Lakers and wearing the purple and gold jersey, will you feel a different pressure than when you played for the Clippers before?" The first reporter to be named asked.

As soon as this question was asked, it immediately caused others to laugh, and Tang Shuai couldn't help but smile, this question seems to be a question that the Lakers' new signings will be asked.

"Yes, the Lakers are a team that has always had a deep heritage, whether it is the purple and gold jersey on my body, the championship flag hanging above my head, and even those championship trophies and icons, all of which make me feel what kind of team I am in, but as for the pressure, I am not so strong, it should be more of an incentive to motivate ...... including me" Tang Shuai said and turned his head to look at his teammates around him, "We, the new signings, come up with better performances and strive to help the team return to the playoffs as soon as possible, Or even regain the championship. ”

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

As soon as Tang Shuai finished speaking, Wharton took the lead, and the group of players around him applauded unconsciously.

Tang Shuai smiled at his teammates.

"Next question, we all know that the jersey you wore when you were with the Clippers was No. 24, and with the Lakers, this is the number that belongs to Kobe Bryant, and this number will undoubtedly be retired by the Lakers, and it is expected that you will not continue to wear this number, but can you tell us why you chose No. 1 now?"

“yeah…… That's a good question. Tang Shuai smiled and said, "You know, the Lakers are a team with a long history, so many numbers have been retired, like No. 13 (Wilt Chamberlain), No. 22 (Elgin Baylor), No. 32 (Elvin Johnson), No. 33 (Abdul-Jabbar), No. 34 (O'Neal), No. 42 (James Worthy), No. 44 (Jerry West). ”

After that, he thought for a while: "Maybe I missed No. 25 (Gal Goodrich) and No. 52 (Jamal Wilkes), anyway, you know, there are too many numbers for you to choose, but after I joined the Lakers, Kobe Bryant called me, and he said I can continue to use his No. 24 ......"

"You said Kobe Bryant once said he was going to give you the 24th?" The reporter interrupted Tang Shuai's words.

"Yes, he said that if he retired the jersey, one would do, and he told me to continue wearing number 24." Tang Shuai nodded and said.

As soon as Tang Shuai finished speaking, the other reporters seemed to have found the breaking point at once, and they all quickly recorded it.

"Then why...... You didn't choose to continue with the number 24 in the end? The reporter who asked the question continued to ask.

"We all know that Kobe Bryant has two numbers, No. 8 and No. 24, and the two numbers represent his two different career periods, and Shaq's three consecutive championships, and Paul's two consecutive championships......" Tang Shuai said at this time and turned his head to look at Gasol.

Gasol smiled, and he turned back to continue, "So...... I want to be anyone, I won't 'steal' this honor, this belongs to Kobe, these two numbers belong to him. ”

"Actually, after coming to the Lakers, I thought about a lot of numbers, No. 3, No. 23, but in the end I chose No. 1." Tang Shuai didn't wait for the reporter to continue to ask, and then said, "Just as Gilbert (referring to Arenas) chose No. 0 at the beginning, I want to be No. 1." (To be continued.) )
