Tang Shuai looked up at Wharton, with a hint of worry in his eyes.

Although he scored a high score, it really doesn't feel good to have such physical prostration, it's okay for you to let him fight like this for one or two games, if it is a month in a row, his career is estimated to be reimbursed in advance.

In fact, the Lakers' shooting rate in this game was quite low, and 9 people in the game had playing time, but except for Tang Shuai, only Gasol scored 10 points, and everyone else scored in single digits, Barnes shot 2 of 9, Batum shot 3 of 12, compared to the previous games, their shooting rate can be said to be miserable.

'Everyone did well today, they were able to turn the game around, everyone put in the effort, go back tonight and have a good rest, tomorrow the training session is cancelled.' Wharton came in and said to the team with a smile.

The players cried out a few times in agreement, and it was obvious that although they won the game, Wharton's stubbornness had lowered his prestige among the players.

Wharton smiled a little awkwardly, and then said to Tang Shuai and Big Gasol: "Don, Paul, you come out with me." ”

Tang Shuai heard Wharton shouting to himself, and stood up without much hesitation, he was also going to communicate with Wharton.

The two men followed Wharton into the office next door, and although it was an away game, the visiting team also had an office dedicated to the coach.

"You played really well today, even better than I expected." Upon entering the office, Wharton smiled and complimented.

Tang Shuai and Gasol both smiled a little awkwardly and nodded.

"I know you must have something to say to me, say it, I won't blame you for anything." Wharton continued.

Tang Shuai and Da Gasol glanced at each other and said: "Coach, I think a small lineup has its advantages, there is no doubt about it, but it is not suitable for our current team, Harrison's help defense is a little slow, and more importantly, we don't have a stable three-point output, it is all luck to win today, so ......"

"Hmm." Wharton nodded, then turned to look at Gasol, "Paul, do you have anything to say?" ”

"I agree with Don that we don't have what it takes to play a small squad right now." Gasol nodded.

Wharton sighed and said helplessly: "I know what you said, but you should also see that now the small ball is the style of the league, and the sooner we start, the sooner we can embark on the road of revival." ”

"When we didn't play small ball in the first few games, our record was not bad, right?" Tang Shuai asked rhetorically.

"The first few games? Don ......" Wharton suddenly laughed and said, "You should also know that it is the relationship between the field and the opponent, if the schedule is more dense and the opponent is stronger, how many games can we win?" Perhaps, we're now on the same path as the Lakers did last season. ”

'We're a new team, we need games to improve our chemistry with each other, coach, and the previous wins are a good encouragement for us.' Tang Shuai followed.

"Yes, of course the victory is an encouragement, but it doesn't contradict the small-ball tactics we have to play, and now there are fewer and fewer inside lines in the league, Paul, sorry, I didn't mean to target you." Walton said with an apologetic look at Gasol, then turned back and continued, "It's a reality, if we don't speed up and keep up with the way we play, we will be eliminated sooner or later, it may be a long process, but I hope you can understand and support my thoughts." ”

Tang Shuai's eyes revealed a trace of helplessness, there are many ways to play basketball, and you can't treat small-ball tactics as supreme tactics just because the Warriors have won a championship, right? Teaching students according to their aptitude is what a good coach should do.

It's not uncommon for Phil Jackson to be obsessed with triangle tactics, forming a coaching staff with Fisher as the head coach in his first season in New York, and bringing back old Lakers players like Vujacic who haven't played in the NBA for several years, and the end result proved that it didn't work.

The success of the Warriors lies more in the growth of Curry's group of players and the excavation of Green's geeks, in fact, the best way to prove this is that the league can't find a second Warriors, not even a similar one.

He really wanted to say that it was not the Cavaliers who won the championship this year, and the Clippers team he led also eliminated the Warriors, but thinking about how hurtful to say such a thing was, he changed his words and said: "Coach, we will all stay with the Lakers for a long time, I think like you said, it will be a long process, we don't need to rush for a while, maybe when the opportunity comes, the team comes with a three-point shooter, then maybe it will be a good time, now, I still think it will be better to play like before, The second quarter against the Bulls was a great proof of that, Paul, what do you think? ”

He said, turning his head to look at Gasol.

"Yes, I think there is some truth in what Tang said, we can take our time, things are always changing, I have experienced a lot of things, the current conditions may not be so suitable, maybe one day the time will be ripe." Gasol nodded.

After listening to what Tang Shuai and Gasol said, Wharton couldn't help but sigh, and he could feel that the two cores of the team did not support him, which made him feel very disappointed.

Tang Shuai and Gasol looked at each other, and they didn't know what to say next, after all, about the team's record and their personal honor, this is not a matter of lip service.

"Okay, I know what you think, let's go back first, I'll think about this again." Wharton thought for a moment, then stood up and said.

Tang Shuai and Gasol got up and prepared to go out.

"By the way, call Harrison and Nicholas, and Nolens." As they were about to leave the door, Wharton suddenly said to them.

"Got it." Tang Shuai turned around and answered, and then walked out of the office with Gasol.

After closing the door, Tang Shuai couldn't help but shake his head, although Wharton didn't understand, but he could clearly feel that he was not dead in the small ball tactics, maybe in order to achieve what he wanted, he would not hesitate to trade.

"Don't think too much, if you use it too much here, people will age quickly, just like me." Gasol saw Tang Shuai's sad face, pointed to the gray hair on his sideburns and said.

Tang Shuai was amused by Gasol for a while, and he simply didn't want to do this, and the two of them entered the locker room talking and laughing.

After taking a shower, Tang Shuai and Stephenson came out of the locker room shoulder to shoulder, and the two were discussing where to relax, and as soon as they walked out of the door, they saw an acquaintance.

Selena Gomez, with her hands on her sunglasses, looked at him with a wicked smile.

"Don, Lance and I have gone back beforehand, remember to come back early." Brewer's reaction was still fast, and he pulled Stephenson, who looked curious, and walked directly to the other side.

"Hey, Don, long time no see." Gomez walked directly towards Tang Shuai, with the kind of red in his eyes. Bare. Naked possessiveness is unabashed.

"Hey, long time no see." Tang Shuai said curtly, because of the previous one-night stand, he always had a feeling of being caught by Gomez.

"Are you free? Go out for a walk with me? Gomez said bluntly.

Tang Shuai nodded, and the two walked out of the aisle side by side.

"How are you alone at the Staples Center this time? I remember seeing you before, always with Taylor. Tang Shuai found a topic and said.

Taylor recently ...... Got into some trouble. Gomeston said.

"Trouble?" A worried look flashed in Tang Shuai's eyes, and then asked, "Is it a big trouble?" ”

"What? Are you worried about Taylor? Gomez said meaningfully.

"Isn't it normal to care? between friends. Tang Shuai looked at Gomez.

Gomez stopped, stared at Tang Shuai and asked, "Are you really just friends?" ”

"Or else?" Tang Shuai looked at Gomez without dodging, "If you have any trouble, I will try my best to help, we are also friends." ”

After Tang Shuai said this, Gomez burst out laughing, and a sweet smile appeared on his face.

"What's wrong? Have I wiped the crumbs off my face? Or did I not wipe the soap bubbles clean when I took a shower? Tang Shuai said that he was about to take out his mobile phone to take a look.

Gomez laughed louder and bent over with a straight laugh.

The laughter drew sideways glances from passers-by.

Tang Shuai coughed dryly twice, and then said: "If you laugh again, the headline of the Los Angeles Entertainment News tomorrow should be an affair between you and me." ”

Tang Shuai said this, Gomez couldn't stop laughing, covered his mouth with his hand, and then lay directly in Tang Shuai's arms, his chest trembled and rubbed on his chest, he always felt weird.

After a few seconds, Gomez stopped laughing, straightened up, straightened his clothes, and said, "I found that you are actually quite good at making people happy." ”

"Really? There should be no put, just ...... You're laughing at a low level, aren't you? Tang Shuai said disappreciatively.

Gomez's smile twitched, and he gave him an angry look.

"I'm just kidding." Tang Shuai continued.

After listening to what Tang Shuai said, Gomez's face slowly improved, and then said: "I'm very happy that you can treat me as a friend, in fact, Taylor's encounter is not a very troublesome thing, it's just that a Hollywood actor chases him very closely, and she wants to avoid the limelight, so she doesn't come out to move." ”

"That's a good thing, women always need a man to rely on." Tang Shuai smiled and said, but his face was a little not good, although he regarded Swift as a friend, but he didn't know why he was always a little uncomfortable.

"Yes, and then you men will always be so duplicitous." Gomez said and suddenly pushed Tang Shuai to the corner of the stadium on the side of the road, pressed his chest against his chest, his eyes showed a look of longing, and said softly in an extremely ambiguous tone, "Tonight, how about I be your woman?"
