Chapter 159: Meet the Mysterious Man

At the beginning of the second quarter, Tang Shuai continued his performance, and the defensive players in front of him changed from the fast Harris to the strong Jenkins, then to Powell, who is also a rookie with height and arms, and finally to Villanueva, who is a head taller than him, the defenders continue to grow taller, but they have never been able to limit him.

Facing Jenkins, he shook it off and hit it steadily.

In the face of Powell, he shook off his opponent and still hit.

In the face of Villanueva, although he could not shake it off completely, he was forced to foul when he shot.

The Mavericks do not have top defensive players, and in the face of Tang Shuai's almost buggy offensive style, the effect of individual defense is very limited, which also puts their defense into an inexplicable predicament.

Amid the boos of the fans at the scene, Tang Shuai finally hit one of two free throws to help the Clippers extend their lead to six points.

Carlisle ended up using a double bag, albeit reluctantly, and although Tang Shuai was only a rookie, the scoring of consecutive rounds had made the famous coach dare not despise the Chinese rookie anymore.

As long as Tang Shuai holds the ball, Jenkins, who assists in defense, will make up for it as soon as possible, relying on the super fast rotation speed, coupled with Tang Shuai's average passing ability, Tang Shuai's scoring momentum was finally contained.

When the second quarter entered the rotation time, Tang Shuai was also replaced by Paul.

After playing 10 minutes, shooting 5-of-7, 1-of-2 free throws, and scoring 11 points off the bench, Tang Shuai once again proved his strength with an efficient scoring method and further consolidated his position in the rotation.

The main players came back, thanks to Tang Shuai's excellent play in this section, they all got a full rest, they had the advantage of strength, and after coming up, they opened up the difference little by little, and by the end of halftime, the Clippers had a 12-point lead at 53:41.

At halftime, Reeves called Tang Shuai alone, and the question asked was naturally related to his Maddie's bag, for him, Maddie's imprint in his heart was too deep, you must know that at that time, two of the scoring champions for three consecutive seasons were when he was coaching.

Tang Shuai has been prepared for Reeves' question, as a qualified Chinese basketball player, he must be clear about the four quarterbacks, which naturally includes the fact that his head coach coached Maddie at the beginning, so it seems easy to deal with.

What is a Maddie fan, I have been practicing a good job since I was a child, and I didn't have to be unsure of anything like that before, and I was convinced that Reeves was fooled.

There was no unexpected gain, and there was no investigation into the relationship between Tang Shuai and Maddie, Reeves's interest naturally went down, and after telling Tang Shuai to play hard, he didn't ask any more questions.

came back in the second half, almost continuing the exact same path as the first half, the main force of the Clippers widened the score on the court step by step, and after Tang Shuai came off the bench, he maintained a certain point difference.

Knowing that the Mavericks will wrap themselves up, Tang Shuai also put his main focus on offensive organization, although he does not have a good passing skill package, but the excellent performance in the first half makes him stand on the court is a full scoring deterrent, so it will be relatively easy to pass the ball.

And at Kassel's suggestion, Reeves diverted the three-point playing time of Stephenson, Smith and Reeves Jr., and let the bench and the main team play mixed, which effectively avoided the impact of the sluggish state of the bench group.

At 104:88, the Clippers defeated the Mavericks on the road, winning back-to-back victories and ushering in two consecutive wins in the opening season.

Because the difference has been stretched to 20 points in the first three quarters, the main players of the Clippers have not played much playing time, and the most scoring is still Griffin, who shot 11 of 17 and easily scored a double-double of 26 points and 10 rebounds, Paul scored 12 points and 10 assists in 10 shots, and Pierce, Redick and Smith also scored in double digits.

Tang Shuai played 18 minutes in this game, made 7 of 9 shots, and scored 15 points efficiently, still the most points on the bench.

I believe that after two games, various media commentators must have a new understanding of Tang Shuai, you must know that before the start of the season, most of the media are looking down on him, which can be seen from the opening game, Barkley and Smith's bet.

After all, the yellow race has always been unfavorable in the alliance, and it is reasonable for Yi Jianlian to be unaccustomed to the soil and water.

After the back-to-back games, the players went back to the hotel early to rest, although there will be no more games tomorrow, but the players are not machines after all, after this kind of home-and-away back-to-back, no one has the strength to go out and spend time again, especially Stephenson and Smith, the two of them are stopped this time.

Tang Shuai didn't go back to the hotel right away, compared to the main forces, or Stephenson, his energy was obviously much better, firstly, he didn't have as much time to play as the main forces, and secondly, he rested relatively early yesterday.

After the match, he got into Nahula's car, which had been waiting outside the arena, and went straight to a nearby hotel.

In the car, Tang Shuai couldn't help but ask curiously: "Edulardo, who are we going to meet?" How does it feel like sneaky? ”

"You'll know when you see it, and this isn't sneaky, I came in my own car." Nahura remained mysterious, unwilling to reveal who she was going to meet.

The car drove for about ten minutes and finally stopped in front of a hotel.

After getting out of the car, Tang Shuai took a look, this hotel is not a luxury hotel, and the hotel where their team is staying is obviously not on the same level.

Seeing this, the doubts in his heart became even stronger, who the hell was this going to see, and he didn't look like a powerful or rich person, but Nahura was so mysterious, and the curiosity in his heart was even heavier.

Nahura led Tang Shuai into the hotel.

The interior of the hotel is not as resistant as it looks from the outside, but it looks quite clean.

Nahura took Tang Shuai straight up to the tenth floor, and when he arrived at the door of a room, he rang the doorbell.

"Who?" After a while, there was a middle-aged man's voice from inside.

"Palace, it's me." Nahura rang the doorbell again as she spoke.

Palace?

A trace of doubt flashed in Tang Shuai's eyes.

"Squeak~"

At this moment, the door opened, and a middle-aged man stepped out of it.

When Tang Shuai saw the middle-aged man, he was obviously stunned for a moment.

It's him!
