Chapter 630: The First One Ever Seen

"What?" Tang Shuai looked at Stephenson suspiciously, he obviously didn't know what the latter meant. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

"See for yourself." Stephenson handed the tablet to Tang Shuai, and on Twitter and Facebook, a considerable number of fans were teasing.

Seeing these things, Tang Shuai was surprised at first, and then frowned, but in the end, he smiled.

"What are you laughing at?" Stephenson looked at him curiously.

"I suddenly felt like my sponsor should give me some more advertising money." Tang Shuai smiled and said.

"What?" Stephenson looked puzzled.

"How much has anyone been talked about because of this kind of thing before? I'm the first, right? Shouldn't the first thing in everything be to raise awareness? Tang Shuai said with a smile.

"......, Don, this is really not a trivial matter, and if you can still joke calmly all the time, it will really have a big impact on you and our game." Stephenson leaned over and said in a low voice.

"Don't worry, I know it in my heart, you wait and see." Tang Shuai didn't explain, patted Stephenson on the shoulder and said.

Stephenson was stunned for a moment, and then sighed helplessly, he only hoped that in the game two days later, the Celtics would not be able to cut people like the first two teams.

On March 9, U.S. time, after a two-day break, the Lakers ushered in an away game against the Celtics.

It's not going to be an easy game for the current Lakers.

After a period of early season running-in, the Celtics showed strong competitiveness before and after the All-Star break, and under the leadership of young coach Brad Stevens, their current record is third in the East.

Despite being in the relatively weak East region, being able to finish in the top three shows that the team is quite mature.

The Lakers vs. the Celtics are definitely a fierce battle.

However, compared to the game itself, the focus of the media and fans does not seem to be what performance the two sides can show in the game, or who will become the winner of the top two clashes, what they are most concerned about is naturally the hottest news during this time: Tang Shuai, will he be cut down again in this game? How many goals does he concede in a whole game?

Stephens is different from Hojberg, although he is also a college coach, but in terms of tactics and ability, the young coach is obviously much stronger.

Or Tang Shuai's unprecedented free throws are really surprising. The lottery company even opened a plate for Tang Shuai to concede a few goals. mouth, from 1 to 20, pay. The rates are listed one by one, and they are not the same.

Don't say it, this plate. After the mouth came out, many websites received more than half of the orders than usual.

This unprecedented scene made this game look full of gimmicks before it even started.

On the evening of the 9th, the TD North Shore Garden Arena was packed, and the top two teams in the east and west will usher in the second and final meeting between the two sides this season.

In the previous meeting, when Wharton led the team, Gasol was not injured, in that Christmas game, the Lakers finally won the game, this time the Green Shirts are playing at home, it must be a shame.

Tang Shuai walked out of the players' tunnel with his teammates, and when he looked up, he saw that the stadium was full, and the battle of purple, gold and green shirts made fans look forward to it even if it was not on a specific day.

Soon, though, he noticed something unfriendly.

In the middle of the field, there were many fans holding KT boards aloft with words such as "Don, are you ready to sit on the sidelines and watch the game", "Don, are you going to miss a few free throws today", "The best free throw guard in the world", etc., such as sarcastic and provocative words, which make people look very glaring.

"These fans are a bit too much." Batum also saw those KT boards at this time, and couldn't help but speak.

Tang Shuai just frowned slightly, and then said, "It's nothing, just let them go." ”

Although he felt a little uncomfortable, he suddenly wanted to know what kind of expressions these people would have when he scored in a row.

Not long after the two sides entered the stadium, the introduction of the home team's starters began.

The Green Shirts, as the name suggests, except for wearing green jerseys, have their floor, the hue of the opening game, all green.

When the starters were introduced, a circle of smokeless sparks erupted from the center of the stadium, igniting the entire North Shore arena.

The Celtics, on their side, maintained the starting lineup for the first few games, with Horford and Oaklini on the inside, Jae Crowder on the small forward, and Thomas and Bradley on the outside.

Danny has been trying to trade Tang Shuai, and after the trade failed, he chose to keep the current roster and not do any major surgery on the team.

The starting lineup on the Lakers' side is no different from the previous games, but it is worth mentioning that Gasol also came to Boston with the team this time, although there is still more than half a month or even a month before the comeback, but he no longer needs to recuperate at home.

In the cheers of the fans at the scene, the starters of both sides officially appeared, and the second meeting of the season between the green jerseys and purple gold officially kicked off at the North Shore Garden Arena.

The narrator was Mike Gorman, and guest commentator Rick Barry from ESPN.

"Rick, this matchup is very exciting, who do you think is likely to win this match?" As soon as the game began, Gorman opened his mouth to ask Barry, as a senior commentator for the Celtics, he was even older than Barry, and he seemed to be unrestrained when he spoke.

"Mike, I don't think the focus should be on Don's free throws today?" Barry said with a smile.

From his point of view, he has been commenting on the game for more than ten years, and he has seen it for a long time, and it is not without outside players who have been cut off, but like Tang Shuai, a superstar who ranks in the top three in the MVP rankings, he is unheard of.

"Mike, why don't we catch the trend and guess how many goals Don will concede in this game?" Barry said with a smile that as a well-known "Tang Hei" in the league, he obviously would not miss such a great opportunity.

"Haha, Rick, that's a game for young people, old men like us, don't participate in it." Gorman has been commenting for more than ten years, and he still has some grace.

"I've guessed 10 times, and with what I know about Brad, he definitely won't be too light." Barry chose to ignore Gorman's words and said to himself.

"Maybe, I hope both sides can put on a good show." Gorman said with a smile.

While the two men were talking on the bench, the first quarter of the game between the two sides had already begun.

As soon as it came up, the two sides played a wonderful offensive and defensive battle.

But on paper, the Lakers with Tang Shuai are stronger, but the Celtics can rank third in the East, obviously relying not only on the strength on paper, but also their teamwork is the strongest.

And compared to the first meeting at the beginning of the season, the Celtics have made a lot of progress on the defensive end of the defensive rotation compared to before.

The two teams were evenly matched in the opening period.

However, when Tang Shuai went off the court, the Celtics took the opportunity to play an attacking wave, and at the end of the first quarter, they led by double digits at 32-22.

Because there were a lot of points behind, and in the first quarter, in order to avoid being cut, Tang Shuai was replaced a little earlier than usual, so at the beginning of the second quarter, he was replaced.

At this time, it means that he is playing with four substitutes.

On the Celtics side, Stevens didn't put Thomas on the court, but just put Bradley on the court, and the other positions were regular rotations.

After Tang Shuai came on the court, he looked at the score, and when he got to the frontcourt, he took advantage of Mozgov's blocking, and raised his hand to pull out a hand.

"Bang!"

Mozgov's blocking and dismantling are in place, but Tang Shuai's shot lacks a trace of luck, after all, Maddie pulls the bag and is not a 100% hit in the open position.

Fortunately, Mozgov gave the force, and after dismantling the ball, he went to the basket, and then he relied on his body to press Zeller strongly, and took the rebound into the bag.

After Billups clarified the style of play with Tang Shuai as the core, the rest of the Lakers team developed the reaction of finding Tang Shuai after getting the ball, and Mozgov took the offensive rebound and turned around and gave it out.

Tang Shuai received the ball and took three steps directly towards the basket.

Mozgov used his body to keep Zeller in the shadows.

Tang Shuai took the ball and jumped, followed by a vigorous two-handed buckle.

There was a stirring at the scene.

Stevens got up straight from the dugout and walked to the sidelines, and this dunk was a big blow to the team's morale.

The Celtics' offense, Smart and Lotto Rozier played a wonderful combination, and the latter cut to the basket to get the ball ready to respond to a smash.

However, he obviously underestimated Mozgov's size, and the ball didn't need to jump up, but directly hit the big board there and forced him down.

There was an uproar at the scene, Rozier was young after all, and he was still a little worse in judgment.

The referee didn't blow the whistle, Rozier's lost ball was taken by Grant, and Grant gave it to Tang Shuai in the fast break, Tang Shuai faced Bradley's defense, a beautiful dribble behind his back, and then a fake penetration to gain offensive space, followed by a light basket.

The Celtics' offense, Smart quickly rushed to the basket with a pick-and-roll, and a beautiful split shot was given to Bradley, who raised his hand to shoot a three-pointer.

"Bang!"

Three-pointers weren't Bradley's forte, and Bradley's shot lacked a bit of consistency, and the rebound eventually jumped out of the basket.

The rebound bounced directly into the hands of Tang Shuai on the outside, Tang Shuai quickly advanced after taking the ball, facing the double defense of Bradley and Gerald Green, and rushed through the three-point line with the method of dividing the ball, and the trend of rushing into the three-point line was unabated, and one step into the free throw line was directly a 360° dunk of the performance nature.

The Lakers' bench towel men rushed to the sideline with towels and waved them vigorously.

After coming up in the second quarter, Tang Shuai scored 6 points personally, and he had already chased the score to only 4 points. (To be continued.) )
