The scale of the concert is only larger than that of the NBA game, and the cheers of 50,000 or 60,000 people at the scene are estimated to deaf people's ears if it weren't for the open-top stadium.

Smith and Steveson also roared wildly.

Tang Shuai was a little inexplicably restless at this time, the Russell videogate incident was stirring up on major websites, and when he saw familiar people again, he couldn't shake off the picture of flesh and body intertwined in his mind.

"Hey, Don, get excited!" Stephenson saw that Tang Shuai was indifferent and pushed him hard.

This pushed Tang Shuai back to his senses, and after he smiled awkwardly, he cheered excitedly with them.

Gomez and Swift were the closest friends, and their singing worked together seamlessly, and the whole scene was plunged into a sea of excitement.

Tang Shuai was pulled up by Stephenson and Smith together, dancing to the rhythm of the music.

At this moment, he suddenly noticed that the eyes of the two people on the stage were all towards him, although the singing voices did not fluctuate, but the expressions of the two people looked a little weird.

Swift seemed a little excited, while Gomez was embarrassed with a hint of excitement.

"Hey, Taylor is watching us!"

"Selena is watching us too, hey, Selena, Taylor!"

Stephenson and Smith didn't notice the change in the expressions of the two people on stage, and were excited by their gazes.

Tang Shuai smiled and beckoned to them, which was regarded as a response.

Soon both men on the stage smiled, then withdrew their gaze and looked away.

The concert was a great success. The fans refused to leave the stadium for a long time after Swift left the stadium, until Swift came out to sing the most classic song "love.story". This made the fans leave the stadium satisfied.

"It's just amazing!" After Swift really disappeared from the stage, Stephenson couldn't help but shout excitedly.

"Gentlemen. Miss Taylor wants to meet you. At this moment, a somewhat familiar figure appeared in front of Tang Shuai and them.

"Hello Don, it's nice to see you again." After greeting them, in the stunned faces of Stephenson and Smith, the visitor greeted Tang Shuai with a half-bow.

"Hey, John, me too." Tang Shuai smiled and shook hands with the middle-aged man, this was the driver Hunter who almost hit him in the first place.

"Miss Taylor said you didn't greet him beforehand." Hunter continued.

"I just came with friends. So ......" Tang Shuai smiled awkwardly, he had also come with Stephenson, how could he go to greet Swift at this time.

But at this time, Stephenson and Smith looked at him like monsters, and Stephenson was stunned for a while before asking with a hellish expression, "Don, do you know Taylor?" Do you know Taylor Swift?! ”

"Sort of." Tang Shuai is even more embarrassed at this time, he and Swift are at most ordinary friends now, and he has never mentioned it to Stephenson before, such a scene is really easy to misunderstand if you understand it.

"Great! You kid is so not authentic, I haven't said it. Now you've got to get me an autographed photo, or I'm going to leave Memphis!" Stephenson's face was full of excitement, and there was nothing more important for a fan than asking for an autograph.

"Get me one too." Smith said as he joined in.

"This ...... I try my best. Tang Shuai nodded stupidly. His relationship with Swift was nowhere near as good as the two of them had come.

"Gentlemen, shall we go backstage first?" Hunter stood there for a long time and said remindedly.

"Let's go. Walk! Stephenson couldn't hold back his excitement.

Hunter led them around the path to the backstage, and on the way in, he could occasionally bump into some staff sorting out equipment. The singer of a concert is of course the protagonist, but such a large-scale concert. Equipment and logistics alone require a large number of staff.

shuttled all the way, and finally arrived backstage, Swift had already taken off his makeup and changed his clothes.

"Hey, Don!" As soon as Swift saw Tang Shuai, he greeted him with a smile.

"Hey, Taylor." Tang Shuai greeted with a smile, but when he saw Gomez standing beside him, he was a little strange unconsciously.

"These, your friends?" Swift looked at Stephenson and Smith suspiciously.

"Yes, they're my teammates, and former teammates, and this is Josh, this is Lance." Tang Shuai and Swift introduced.

"It's a pleasure to meet you." Swift smiled and shook hands with Smith and Stephenson.

Both of them looked a little excited, and Stephenson rubbed his hands on his clothes like a ** silk before shaking hands with Swift, causing Gomez to cover his mouth and laugh.

"Your friends are so funny." Swift couldn't help but smile and said.

"They are all your fans, so ......," Tang Shuai said with some embarrassment.

"Oh, I almost forgot, let's have a group photo." Swift laughed and said to Stephenson.

This made Stephenson happy, made an excited "yes" gesture, and ran to Swift's side.

Stephenson and Smith both ran to take a photo with Swift, Tang Shuai unconsciously looked at Gomez, Gomez met his eyes, and actually threw a wink at him.

Tang Shuai hurriedly withdrew his gaze.

Swift had already finished taking photos with them at this time, and with the group photo, they naturally wouldn't ask for any more autographed photos.

"By the way, I forgot to introduce, Don, this is my best friend Selena." Swift only then remembered that he hadn't introduced Gomez to them yet, and said with some embarrassment.

"Hey, nice to meet you." Gomez smiled and stretched out his hand to Tang Shuai.

Tang Shuai stretched out his hand and shook Gomez's hand, his expression was a little sneering, obvious. Gomez was pretending not to know him.

"It's still early, let's go have a coffee nearby." Swift proposed.

"Yes!" Stephenson and Smith couldn't wait.

"I'm fine." Gomez also said with a half-smile.

Everyone else agreed. Tang Shuai naturally had no reason to refuse, and after nodding, he could be regarded as agreeing.

No comments. Swift said hello to Hunter, took a few bodyguards, and they quickly went to a large café nearby.

With Stephenson here, there will naturally be no shortage of topics, and after arriving at the café, there are people talking and laughing and chatting very happily.

"By the way, Selena, I remember when you went to Toronto before, you said that you met a very good basketball player, who the hell is it?" Chatting and talking. Swift suddenly turned to Gomez and asked.

"Huh? Did I say that? Gomez immediately shook his head.

Tang Shuai was also nervous when he heard this, this Gomez and Swift really have a good relationship, even say this kind of thing?

"No, you said, you tell me the name, Don and his friends are basketball players, they should know each other, right?" Swift must have been very curious about this question, and had never gotten the answer he wanted before, so he took the opportunity to ask again.

"I don't know." Gomez and Tang Shuai said almost in unison.

Swift glanced at Tang Shuai suspiciously. Then he looked at Gomez with a puzzled look.

"Are you sure?" She asked.

"I'm sure." Tang Shuai and Gomez spoke almost in unison once again.

This time, not only Swift, but also Stephenson and Smith looked at the two of them suspiciously.

"You don't have to look at the NBA players to see that there are only 30 teams, but there are a lot of people coming in and out of the league every day. And we don't really get to know the other people in detail except for the players, so it's not what you think. Familiar with most of the players. Tang Shuai explained with some embarrassment.

"He's right, uh. No, the people I met in Toronto weren't basketball players. Gomez said immediately.

"Okay." Swift smiled. There was no intention of asking any further.

After drinking coffee for a while, Gomez picked up his watch and looked at the time, and then said, "It's a little late, shall we go back?" ”

"Yes, it's not early, Taylor, you've been singing all night, and you're tired, go back and rest early." Tang Shuai said quickly.

"Well, well, we'll meet again next time." Swift said with a smile.

After saying that, the group went downstairs along the stairs.

Perhaps because of the question on Swift's coffee table, Gomez fled and walked forward, followed by Stephens and Smith.

Tang Shuai was behind them, Swift followed him, and finally the bodyguards who came with them.

As he was walking down, perhaps because he was a little tired after wearing high heels for a long time, Swift accidentally stepped on the edge of the stairs, and with an "ah" sound, he fell down directly.

Tang Shuai had an exclusive breakthrough bag on his body, and when he reacted, he directly dragged Swift who fell down.

And at the moment of catching Swift, the bus power pack was also activated instantly.

Swift was still weightless one second, and the next second he was firmly still.

In a flash of light, it took only one to two seconds from Swift's accidental fall to being caught, and the thrill flashed by.

It was only at this time that those behind him reacted, looking at Tang Shuai with a pale face, and Swift, who was supported by Tang Shuai.

"Are you alright?" After Tang Shuai held Swift, he immediately asked.

Swift helped Tang Shuai to stand up, and shook his head with a blushing face.

It was only then that Tang Shuai noticed that he was resting his hand on Swift's waist, because he was wearing a very thin long dress, which was not much different from touching it directly.

"I'm sorry." Tang Shuai straightened Swift, hurriedly withdrew his hand, and said embarrassedly.

"Thank you, I owe you another favor." Swift followed.

"What's going on?" At this moment, Gomez, who heard the screams, came back, saw Swift's face flushed, and then saw Tang Shuai's strange face, and suddenly showed a strange look in his eyes.

"It's nothing, I almost fell just now, thanks to Tang." Swift said directly.

"Oh, it's fine." Gomez nodded, but there was no less strange look in his eyes.

Out of the café, Swift and Gomez took a taxi back to the hotel. Tang Shuai also separated from them.

Gomez looked at Tang Shuai with a strange expression, as if he wanted to say something. But the occasion was inappropriate, and she didn't say anything in the end.

Sent them away. Stephenson dragged them to the bar again.

It was rare to see Stephenson once, and Tang Shuai did not refuse, and a group of people got drunk in the bar and waited until the next day to separate.

Back in Los Angeles, Tang Shuai quickly received a reply from Duffy.

Procopio has agreed to their offer to help him train systematically in the offseason as his personal trainer, promising the opportunity to give him a training method for next season's regular season.

Hearing this news, Tang Shuai was extremely excited, although he didn't know why this successful trainer had such a good attitude towards him. But this is undoubtedly a very positive thing.

Regarding Zhou Qi, Duffy also contacted, but as far as he learned, Zhou Qi had terminated the contract with the original agent when he came out of China, and now it is his father Zhou Jianwei who is helping to operate.

As for the agent, Zhou Jianwei is negotiating with the well-known American brokerage company Bafang Company, and if nothing else, he will sign a contract with Alex Salatisis, the agent of "Brother Alphabet" Antetokounmpo, who is a Greek agent. Very good at running international players.

Regarding Tang Shuai's request to let Duffy and Zhou Qi contact him as an agent, Zhou Jianwei said that he could consider it, but it depends on the negotiations on the other side.

Tang Shuai got the information he wanted. Regarding Zhou Jianwei's attitude, although Tang Shuai feels a little hot and cold, Duffy is a new agent after all. And for the sake of his son's future, it can be regarded as a reasonable reaction.

He told Duffy if Zhou Jianwei really refused in the end. Don't worry too much about it.

With two important things in place, he had nothing to worry about. And on the afternoon of this day, Kassel organized the players to continue training non-stop.

After the game against the Grizzlies, their next game is the sniper battle against the Warriors on April 3.

On the same day that the Clippers won against the Grizzlies, the Warriors won a hard-fought victory over the Celtics, extending their winning streak to eight games while improving the team's record to 65-7, and getting closer and closer to breaking the record.

The Clippers have a good record recently, except for the loss to the Bulls, other games have achieved final victories, especially just won the Thunder team, which can be said to be like a rainbow, and although the Warriors have been winning streaks, but the closer to the end of the season, the more the opponent fights, their physical consumption is also increasing geometrically, the recent games are no longer like the previous three quarters of clocking out, all played to the last moment to narrowly win, it is precisely because of the current situation of the two teams, so that many fans expect the Clippers to successfully snipe the Warriors.

And the playoffs are approaching, such a match is also very meaningful, and the winner will naturally have a lot more confidence in the playoffs.

On April 2, U.S. time, most of the websites were opened. mouth, almost all of them are handicaps for the Warriors, and the handicap reaches 10 points, which shows that from the professional point of view of the website, the strength of the Warriors is still far above the Clippers without Griffin.

Because of the previous conflict, the Warriors' Green couldn't help but start talking big again, and he publicly declared that the team's only goal in the remaining games was to break the Bulls' all-time best record.

Even in T.N.T's daily program, Barkley and O'Neal also looked down on the performance of the Clippers in this matchup, and Barkley was even more blunt: Although the Clippers defeated the Thunder, it does not mean that their strength is above the Thunder, the Thunder is a notoriously unstable team, if the two teams start a playoff game of 7 games, the Clippers will lose, and the strength of the Warriors is obviously a notch stronger than the Thunder, after a season of running-in, this team is more tacit than the Warriors team that won 24 consecutive wins at the beginning of the game, and is more offensive and defensive, and the team is also working together to break the Bulls' winning streak, so although it can't be said that the Clippers have no chance of winning, the chances are not great.

Barkley's comments are well-founded and convincing, and they also heat up the focus battle between the Clippers and the Warriors.

The match was also covered in great detail in the media, but most of the reports were in line with the experts' opinions when it came to predictions for the match. They all think that the Warriors will go to the next city and continue to move in the direction of breaking the record.

The day's daily training isn't over yet. Many reporters went to the Staples Center, apparently because of public opinion in recent days. Let them wonder what state the Clippers are in right now.

Kassel was surprisingly calm, and directly treated these reporters as air, how to practice and how to practice.

As soon as the training was over, reporters quickly swarmed around.

"Coach Sam, are you confident of winning the Warriors at home tomorrow?"

"Coach Sam, Charles commented that the team's previous win over the Thunder was just luck, what do you think of that statement?"

"Coach Sam, there was a lot of clash between the two teams in the previous game, will tomorrow's game be a game full of gunpowder?"

……

Kassel was instantly surrounded by a horde of journalists.

Tang Shuai shook his head helplessly. The media and reporters always like to make some gimmicks out of context before the game, in order to increase the excitement of the game.

However, this game is indeed a real tough battle for him and the Clippers, and it can even be said to be the only tough battle before the playoffs.

On April 3, US time, under the overwhelming publicity of the media and the infinite expectations of fans, the players of the Warriors finally arrived in Los Angeles and began pre-game training.

And on this day, the unbelievable happened.

The Warriors arrived in Los Angeles in the morning. After a brief rookie at noon, the team's assistant coach, Wharton, took the players to the arena and began training to familiarize themselves with the field.

And it is this training that has attracted the attention of countless people. These people are not just media and journalists, but local fans.

Nearly 3,000 fans poured into the Staples Center, and the front row was filled. These fans are here for no other purpose than to watch Curry practice!

And even after the end of training. Curry spent more than an hour just signing autographs and taking photos.

This is undoubtedly a phenomenal event, and it also reflects Curry's popularity in today's league.

But for the Clippers. After learning about this, everyone did not speak with a gloomy face.

It's understandable that Curry did a great job and drew fan support, but it was in Los Angeles, in the Staples Center, and it was like a slap in the face to all the Clippers players, a hot pain.

'We're going to win this game for the sake of the team's glory.' These were Kassel's last words to the players before the start of the game.

The players nodded firmly, and the media and commentators looked down on them, and they could have dismissed it as if they didn't see it, but when Curry "stormed" the Staples Center, the game had completely turned into an honor defense battle.

Both the Warriors and Clippers maintained their previous game lineups, with Bogut and Jordan Jr. on the jump.

The Australian is athletic but experienced, and pressed Jordan Jr. to get the ball back into the Warriors' half.

The Warriors had their first offensive opportunity of the night.

There were sporadic cheers in some corners of the scene.

This time, the seriousness on the faces of the Clippers players on the court was even stronger.

The NBA is different from the CBA, or there is a difference in the speed of the fans, even at home, there will be sporadic away fans, but this decibel is obviously not sent by a few fans.

"Hold your place!" As soon as the game started, Cassel walked to the sideline and yelled at the players.

The players of the Clippers are all sticking to their defenders, even if Cassel doesn't shout, they are sparing no effort, that is, Tang Shuai, who has a height difference of half a head with Thompson, is also stubbornly pestering each other, trying not to let him get the chance to catch the ball.

Even when Thompson used the block to get rid of it, Bogut knocked Tang Shuai to the ground, didn't hear the referee's whistle, he turned over without saying a word and continued to catch up.

A big reason why the Warriors are invincible is their mutual trust and tacit understanding of passing and cutting the ball, but the Clippers are not bad defensively, and at this time, they spare no effort like Tang Shuai, and it can even be said that under the mad dog-style defense, the Warriors have failed to succeed in several attempts to cooperate.

The ball couldn't even return to Curry's hands at the last moment, Thompson saw that there was not enough time and threw a long-range three-pointer, but Brewer, who was making up for the defense, came out from behind Tang Shuai, and directly flew his shot out of the court with a block.

The moment he went out of bounds, the 24-second whistle on the sidelines also sounded.

The Warriors were defended for a 24-second round on their first offense!

After the cap, Brewer looked extremely excited, the whole person was bruised, and the scene of raising his head and roaring angrily was so hideous that he even felt a little frightened!

The cheers at the scene were shocking, although many fans were Curry fans, but it was clear that more fans still supported the home team, and the momentum displayed by the Clippers in the opening game deeply infected them.
