After waving to the fans, Tang Shuai then left the players' tunnel with his teammates.

He made an impressive debut for the Lakers, scoring a team-high 40 points on 17-of-29 shooting for 38 minutes, as well as a team-high 11 assists, five rebounds and two steals.

40+11+5+2, such gorgeous data is definitely one of the few transfer players in NBA history debut, and throughout the entire history, only the 37+12+6+4 won by Harden in his debut when he joined the Rockets in 12 years can be compared.

At the press conference after the game, the entire venue was crowded with reporters, you must know that Tang Shuai was 20 years old when he ran for election last year, and he is only 21 years old this year! This is something that Harden can't match, and the rookie played this kind of anti-heaven stats in his second year, and God knows where his limits are.

Tang Shuai is also in a good mood, answering questions from reporters freely, and it is the first time to talk about the future of the Lakers, to paraphrase him, he and his teammates are ready to revive the Lakers.

After the press conference, he followed him to the Clippers' locker room.

Compared with the lively scene in the Lakers' locker room, the home team's locker room is a little deserted, because the players are not very emotional because of the loss.

But after Tang Shuai walked into the locker room, the emotions of the players became excited.

Compared to losing a regular season game, meeting up with old teammates is obviously much more important.

"Devon, you did a good job today, you scored three threes, right?"

"Four, Don, you said one less."

"Blake, that dunk today was great, your knee is fully recovered, right?"

"Much better."

"DeAndrew, is the ball okay?"

"Are you alright? Don't you see that I deliberately fell to the ground because I was afraid of knocking you over? ”

"I really haven't found out...... Haha, bro! ”

……

In addition to Tang Shuai, I am afraid that this league will not be able to find a second person who can make the Clippers' locker room so lively.

After arguing with his former teammates for a while, Tang Shuai said: "I'll invite everyone to have a meal tonight, I haven't seen you for a few months, I have too much to say to you, it's too crowded here." ”

"I heard that you recently signed two big endorsement contracts, and you have to go to Pasadena in the evening." Smith spoke.

"No problem, even if you charter a plane to Europe in the evening, it's okay to come back after eating." Tang Shuai said with a smile.

Tang Shuai's words immediately caused the players to laugh.

Before coming, he had asked Duffy to charter a car, and the group got in the car and went to the hotel directly after leaving the stadium.

Before getting into the car, Tang Shuai saw Ingram at the back of the line, walked over and patted him and said, "Are you okay?" ”

Ingram smiled wryly, he didn't want to come along, but Paul asked him to come along, and only if he didn't seem to be in a good absence, he followed.

"Don't care, it's a game on the court, and it's okay to play off the court, enjoy the life of the NBA, and if you figure it out, you'll grow faster." Tang Shuai smiled at him and followed him into the car.

Tang Shuai and his teammates on the Clippers have caught up with the past, and he has no idea that at this moment, whether at home or abroad, fans and media have already fried the pot.

Singapore: I'm a Lakers fan, I'm really excited now and I don't know how to express my feelings at the moment, Kobe's era has come to an end, the era of Don has come, it turns out that Kupchak is the greatest general manager in the world, he robbed Pau Gasol in '08, and now he's robbing Don in the same way, sorry I used the word robbery, but it's really, really crazy! Lakers, on the road to revival!

Blocking the sinkhole: I am not a Lakers fan, but I am a fan of Tang Shuai, I will support which team he goes to, 40 points, 5 rebounds and 11 assists, Tang Shuai's perfect performance can not find any flaws, I have enough reason to believe that he will become China's first outside superstar in the NBA, looking forward to the moment when he leads the team to win the NBA championship, looking forward to the Chinese standing on the highest podium of the NBA!

……

American Sports Illustrated: This is a phenomenal performance, the Lakers' Tang Shuai proved that he is a reliable team core with a super high shooting rate (17 of 29 shooting, 58.6%), and it is even more rare that in the game he showed us too many offensive skills, textbook dry pull-up jumpers, flowing back-to-back singles, accurate open three-pointers, fast breaks that make people unable to defend, etc., will he be the next Kobe? Mcgrady? Iverson? Curry? Or is it Jordan? No one knows, but there is no doubt that his presence has allowed the Lakers to once again show the potential of giants in this Internet era, and it is worth it to get such a player, no matter how much it costs.

Los Angeles Sports Weekly: Tang Shuai's super performance in the Lakers reminds people of what he once did, eliminating the 73-win Warriors, scoring an average of 40+ per game in the playoff series, and leading the "weak" Chinese team to win the runner-up in the Olympic Games. The Lakers only paid a roster and a growing interior to get him, and we believe that after more than ten years, this deal will definitely be compared to the original Kobe Bryant trade, which is definitely a robbery.

……

Fans and media are the manifestation of NBA players' influence in the league, and the Lakers officials also took the opportunity to start a vigorous promotion of Tang Shuai.

The day after the Los Angeles derby, a huge poster of Tang Shuai hung outside the arena at the Staples Center.

Tang Shuai jumped high with the basketball in his hand, pulled the ball behind him with his right hand, and dunked towards the basket with great momentum, the action was taken from his earth-shattering dunk across Ingram in the Los Angeles derby, but Ingram was repaired in the background.

Next to this huge poster, there is a sentence full of aura: the next Lakers era.

Not only outside the arena, but also the official website of the Lakers, the large picture on the homepage has also been replaced with this poster.

Compared to the Clippers' PR, the Lakers seem to have done a much better job of publicity.

For a while, because the team's record has been silent for several years, Lakers fans began to be active again, in fact, not only Lakers fans, Tang Shuai's outstanding performance in the Olympic Games also won him many fans, domestic fans, they have been unable to hold back, it is no exaggeration to say that Tang Shuai only took one game to make his popularity reach a new height.

The Lakers started with a dense schedule, 4 games in 10 days, and there was not even a back-to-back game, and the opponents were not too strong, namely the Kings, Pacers and Magic.

After the victory over the Clippers, the Lakers were demoralized and won the Kings and Magic in the next games, and although they lost to the Pacers, their overall record was 3-1, and they even finished in the top four in the West.

This shocked all the media, and no one expected that after only one offseason, the Lakers would have been judged to be two teams from last season's team.

In fact, the biggest reason for this change is Tang Shuai, as the strongest reinforcement of the Lakers offseason, and as the absolute core of the current Lakers team, in the first four games, he averaged a league-high 30.2 points per game, plus 4.5 boards and 7.8 assists, and the shooting rate reached an astonishing 54%!

That's a terrifying statistic for an outside player.

Although the sample size of the four games is small, such data does not have much significance, but it can also explain Tang Shuai's state of heat since the start of the game.

The Olympic Games have left him in a state of relative exhaustion, but the law that competition is the best way to stay in shape will not change.

Excellent record, perfect individual performance, everything seems to be so good, but Tang Shuai knows that the Lakers' current results have a lot to do with the schedule and opponents, perhaps in the eyes of the league, the reason for such a schedule is probably that the Lakers will have a poor record, and they don't want this old team to be as unbearable as last season.

On October 11, US time, the Lakers' next game opponent is the Memphis Grizzlies.

Because of the injury of the team's core Gasol Jr., the Grizzlies were swept by the Spurs in the first round of the playoffs last season, and in the offseason, owner Robert Pera spent a lot of money, first signing Parsons with a four-year contract with a maximum salary, and then renewing Mike Conley with a five-year $153 million contract in NBA history.

In fact, the Grizzlies started the game really well, they have knocked out fierce opponents such as the Mavericks and Thunder, and now have a 3-0 record and the Warriors are tied for first place in the West.

And the meaning of this game has another meaning for the Chinese.

Wang Zhelin, the Chinese player who once scored a historic 19 points and 8 rebounds at the Nike summit and led the international team to victory over the American team with Wiggins and other super potential shows, was finally selected by the Grizzlies in the 16-year NBA draft.

It's a bit dramatic to say, when Zhou Qi was selected, all the members of the national team, including Tang Shuai, were celebrating wildly, and Wang Zhelin's selection was only known on the way to the hotel, which was definitely an accident.

Although he was selected with the 57th overall pick in the second round, fortunately, because of the continuous salary cap contracts given to Parsons and Conley, the Grizzlies had a serious shortage of salary space, and the Chinese team won the Olympic runner-up in history, which made the Grizzlies finally choose to sign Wang Zhelin.

In the first three games, Wang Zhelin only played 5 minutes in garbage time in the game against the 76ers, scoring 2 points on 1-of-2 shooting.

Such a performance is obviously not outstanding, but for the Chinese, this is the second Chinese derby to be staged in the NBA after Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian.

However, before this game, there were two things that had a big impact on the game.

The first thing, Tang Shuai, caught a cold.

ps: This is the 10,000 reward plus more of the time chicken, and I still owe 2 more. (To be continued.) )
