Chapter 540: Barnes's Thoughts
"What does that mean?" Tang Shuai was a little confused by Xiao Luo.
"That's right, after the exclusive synthesis of a new skill pack, it must be upgraded again, but the starting point of the upgrade is not the green skill pack, but the blue skill pack, but the final state of the skill pack, there is a certain chance to exceed the limit of the exclusive skill pack, and become a golden skill pack."
"A golden skill pack?" Tang Shuai gasped, although he didn't know what kind of attributes this golden skill pack was, but judging from the setting that exceeded the limit of the exclusive skill pack, this was definitely an inexplicable existence.
It's just that......
Want to start over from the blue skill pack after crafting?
This means that if he chooses to synthesize his own exclusive skill packs now, it will mean that he will lose two exclusive skill packs at once.
Although it may represent a better future, this seems to be prepared for him after having many exclusive skill packs, and it is no wonder that Xiao Luo said that he couldn't say it before, and it was useless to say it before.
Thinking about this layer, he didn't think about it anymore, but pulled the equipment bar in front of his eyes.
Maddie's Dry Pull Pack (Weakened Version), one of the first purple skill packs he obtained, is now glowing with a faint, alluring orange light.
This is different from the AI-exclusive corssover pack he hit, which is the first skill pack he has successfully upgraded on his own.
That sense of accomplishment is not comparable to a single package.
He swallowed, then chose the yes option.
After clicking the selected button, an extremely comfortable feeling permeated the soles of his feet, as if there was a pure energy washing his body and mind.
At the same time, the purple on the surface of Maddie's dry bag became darker and darker, and the orange light that was originally hidden inside suddenly became sheng, and the dazzling light made Tang Shuai feel extremely excited.
In the next second, his meaning was briefly lost with this burst of light.
By the time he opened his eyes again, he was already at Drew Arena, and the fans on the sidelines were cheering him on.
He smiled and pointed in the direction of the fans when he landed, and now the cheers were even louder.
His goal has been achieved, and there is no need to obsess over the jump shot in the rest of the game, and he starts to attack more with his back and turning back.
When he made this change, the enthusiasm of the fans directly rose a notch.
Tang Shuai, after nearly 200 jump shots in the Drew League, finally changed his offensive style!
100-76, the Spears easily defeated the Bangkok team, Tang Shuai contributed an astonishing 60 points in the game, almost breaking the Drew League scoring record.
At the moment when the halftime whistle blew, the fans frantically poured into the stadium, surrounding Tang Shuai, the cheers drowned out everyone's voices, and the fans fell into absolute madness.
Tang Shuai "worked hard" for more than ten minutes, and then he walked out of the crowd, looking at the crazy fans behind him, he still couldn't help wiping his sweat.
But when he returned to the locker room, his whole mood returned to his previous state of excitement, counting the existing breakthrough packs, he now has 2 exclusive skill packs at once, plus others, although the ability is still not comparable to himself who used a single consumption pack in the playoffs, but it is enough for him to kill all sides in the game.
After playing five group games, the Drew League will then enter the knockout stage, and the Spears are at the top of the table, and there is no suspense to reach the knockout stage.
Maddie's successful upgrade of the dry bag gave him a taste of the sweetness, and he was ready to take the opportunity to upgrade the back pack and the turn back bag as well.
In the quarter-knockout stage, he crushed his opponent with a back-to-back play, and scored 32 points efficiently in the whole game, helping the team successfully advance to the semifinals.
In the next four rounds, he will face the Syracuse team led by Anthony, who is a scoring maniac, and the matchup between the two sides is absolutely full of gimmicks.
Even the fans couldn't wait to see the two sides face off, but just a day before the start of the game, Duffy made a phone call to Tang Shuai.
"Don, the Lakers have already started training ahead of schedule."
When he heard the news, Tang Shuai was obviously stunned for a moment, the Lakers didn't notify him when they started training?
Just when he was wondering, Duffy's next words explained his doubts: "This is the preparation training organized by the players in advance. ”
"Who?" This is a sentence that Tang Shuai instinctively asked.
"Barnes, Harrison Barnes." Duffy followed.
After hanging up the phone, Tang Shuai sat on a chair in the villa, looking at the river outside the window, with a lot of thoughts in his heart.
The self-organized preparation training was perfectly fine, but he had agreed to organize it together with Barnes and Knoll at the beginning, and now Barnes ......
He thought about making a call to Knoll, who said he was already training and asked if Barnes hadn't informed him.
Tang Shuai was not stupid, from Noor's words, he faintly smelled a different taste.
Although Kupchak traded him to the Lakers with so much leverage, he didn't say anything about building a team with him in the open air, which is like something that everyone knows but never puts on the table.
In fact, a dynasty team in dire need of revival, anyone could be the core.
The current situation is that Tang Shuai doesn't seem to have thought of this yet, and Barnes has already done it in advance.
Duffy's phone call was obviously also to remind him of this.
Not everyone is willing to play a supporting role, and to exaggerate, when the Cavaliers drafted James, Ricky Davis thought he was selected to be his younger brother, not to mention that Barnes signed a contract with a maximum salary, which seems to be no problem at all.
It's just that this was agreed at the beginning, but now I did it first, this scheming ......
Wish...... It's just that I think about it too much.
After apologizing to Jenny and the Spears, he said goodbye to the Drew League and began to join the Lakers' preparations for the new season.
"Hey, Don, you're here, you're playing in the Drew League, I didn't inform you." After Barnes saw Tang Shuai, he said with a smile.
"Well, I heard that the team's training started, so I ended the game there early." Tang Shuai also said with a smile.
Barnes is not good at words, Tang Shuai is good at reading words, from the former's smile, he can already feel that this is a very perfect lie, and the point of this matter is not whether to play the Drew League, but whether to notify or not, these are two completely different concepts.
"Don, you're here." At this moment, the team's rookie assistant coach Brian Shaw walked towards Tang Shuai with a smile.
Shaw is the old man of the Lakers, who previously served as an assistant coach to the Lakers for 6 seasons as an assistant coach of "Zen Master" Phil Jackson.
In fact, Wharton spent most of his playing days with the Lakers, and the coaching staff is really a Lakers.
"Hey, Coach Brian." Tang Shuai politely shook hands with Xiao.
The two of them said hello, and Xiao led Tang Shuai to the sidelines.
On the field, the Lakers players are all training hard, Noll, Gasol, Azeri, Nick Young, etc., all sweating on the court, and even Bynum is struggling to pedal on the sidelines.
Although it is a new Lakers team, the players seem to be full of energy and seem to be ready to make a big difference in the new season.
Tang Shuai didn't stay on the sidelines for too long, and after completing the warm-up training with the help of the trainer, he then went on the court to practice with the players.
At the end of the day's training, Tang Shuai felt that it was easier than last season's training, and it seemed that Prokopio's training method was becoming more and more effective.
After the training was over, Tang Shuai was about to go out to dinner with Stephens.
"Don." Just then, Big Gasol stopped him.
Da Gasol played against Tang Shuai in the Olympic final, and whispered to him at the last moment, and the two knew each other.
"Hey, Paul, would you like to have dinner together?" Tang Shuai heard someone calling him, turned around and saw that it was Gasol, and said with a smile.
Gasol shook his head, walked over to him, pulled him over and whispered, "If you have time, I think you need to sit down with Harrison and talk." ”
"Huh?" Tang Shuai looked at Gasol suspiciously, Gasol smiled and didn't say anything, then turned around and left.
"What's wrong?" Stephenson asked, confused.
Tang Shuai looked at Gasol's departing back and shook his head.
"By the way, before you came, I heard Nicholas say that Paul is willing to join the Lakers, in addition to being in the Lakers, you are also a very important reason for being here."
"Me?" Tang Shuai glanced at Stephenson suspiciously.
Stephenson nodded.
Tang Shuai was thoughtful, he didn't expect Gasol to join the Lakers and part of the reason for him, was it because of his performance in the Olympics?
However, remembering the whisper just now, it seems to prove that it is so, but I don't know why Gasol said that.
It seems that the Lakers' new lineup is not as united as imagined.
He shook his head, not thinking about these things in the clouds, and said, "Let's go, I'll invite you to eat Chinese food." ”
After saying that, he hooked his shoulders and pulled Stephenson out of the arena.
As the NBA regular season approached, the player-organized workouts didn't last long, and after a week of intensive training, the Lakers won their preseason game.
The purpose of the preseason is to run in and train newcomers, like some stable teams, such as the Spurs, who have basically unchanged lineups, they will not let the main team play in the preseason, but for a brand new team like the Lakers, it seems normal to play at full strength.
The Lakers' first opponent in the preseason is the New York Knicks. (To be continued.) )
