Chapter 544: The Battle for the Core Position

Barnes didn't speak.

"Of course, the game is not just a simple one-on-one, but as the core of the team, the singles ability is absolutely strong, how about it, do you have the confidence to challenge me?" Tang Shuai said and looked at Barnes.

"It's not fair." Barnes said bluntly, "And I don't have to play this with you." ”

Tang Shuai glanced at Barnes in surprise, and it didn't seem to be as stupid as he looked.

"It's not fair, but if it goes on like this, the team will just keep losing, and the core of a losing streak team, does it make any sense?" Tang Shuai asked rhetorically.

Barnes remained silent.

"So, you either want to be a second leader or try to challenge me for my position, instead of being a coward and just trying to put on your own performance and ignore the team." Tang Shuai said coldly.

Barnes looked at Tang Shuai in a daze, and Tang Shuai also looked straight at him.

The two of them just looked at each other, and neither of them blinked.

After a while.

"I choose to challenge you." Barnes spoke first, "If I win, you become my second leader, and if I lose, I will do what you say." ”

Hearing what Barnes said, a smile appeared on the corner of Tang Shuai's mouth and said, "Very good, at least you are not really a wretch." ”

After saying that, he turned around and opened the office door, turned around and walked out.

Barnes tensed, but quickly loosened himself and stepped out.

Seeing Tang Shuai and Barnes coming out, the other Lakers players outside looked at each other for a while, and when they saw the two walking straight to the training hall, they quickly followed.

Tang Shuai saw his teammates coming over, ignored it, turned around and took out a ball from the basket, threw it to Barnes, and said, "You go first." ”

Barnes nodded, took the ball and prepared to play.

"Lance, are they going to fight bulls?" Brewer saw the posture of the two and turned to Stephenson and asked.

"Bet! Place your bets! One-on-one bullfighting bet. In the ball round, Tang pays two to one, Harrison pays three to one, buy and leave, and the bet is coming! Stephenson ignored Brewer, but suddenly became excited.

The team members looked at him in astonishment.

"Wouldn't it be better to have fun?" Stephenson looked at the stunned team members and said with a smile.

Tang Shuai heard Stephenson's words, turned his head to look at him, and shook his head helplessly, Stephenson's funny attributes are really the same everywhere.

"I'll block $100, Don wins." Gasol said with a sudden smile.

Gasol's move immediately drew astonished glances from the rest of the Lakers, but it was quick.

"I'll block $500, Don wins."

"I'll block $200, Don wins."

"I'll block $1,000, Don wins."

……

The players began to bet one after another, and it was so inexplicable that their emotions suddenly became excited.

In fact, these hundreds of dollars are not money at all for them, but professional players themselves are boring, and they finally find a way to have fun, Gasol takes the lead, and they naturally let it go.

Tang Shuai couldn't help but laugh when he saw his teammates who were already having fun.

"Can we begin?" Barnes said coldly at this time, he was not deaf, of course he could hear the bets of his teammates, and almost unanimously believed that he would definitely lose.

"Of course, five balls, no fouls." Tang Shuai said.

Barnes nodded, took the ball and lowered his center of gravity and dribbled inside.

Tang Shuai quickly stepped up.

Seeing that Tang Shuai didn't even show a serious look on his face, Barnes felt that he was being slighted, turned around, and leaned directly against Tang Shuai.

After training with Tang Shuai for so long, of course he knew Tang Shuai's achievements in breakthroughs and shooting, so he "smartly" chose to crush with his back.

Hit it all at once.

Two hits.

Barnes slammed into Tang Shuai hard, trying to find a comfortable angle for himself through physical confrontation.

But he soon found that Tang Shuai was stubbornly pressed in front of him like a blockage, and no matter how he bumped into him, he didn't move.

Although he had witnessed Tang Shuai's ability to dunk in the game, he never expected Tang Shuai's defense to be so tough.

In fact, this is not to blame Barnes, although the two teams played each other a lot last season, but Tang Shuai will naturally be lax on the defensive end because he wants to use more physical strength on offense, and it is normal for him not to see it, and after joining the Lakers, because of the core battle of the team, he has not even had a bullfight with Tang Shuai in his usual training, so it is reasonable to be surprised at this time.

Barnes didn't believe in evil and pushed him again, but he didn't expect that this time Tang Shuai also pushed him forward, but his whole center of gravity was unstable and he was almost knocked down.

When he stabilized himself, he turned around and touched the basket.

This ball turned quite beautifully, and it can be seen that Barnes still has a certain strength and skills.

However, he obviously underestimated Tang Shuai's reaction speed, and when he turned around and wanted to break through, he suddenly found that Tang Shuai was in front of him again, directly blocking the forward route of his breakthrough.

A look of utter shock flashed in his eyes.

"It's almost 24 seconds." Stephenson shouted a reminder from the side.

Barnes's brows furrowed, giving up the idea of continuing to break through, and turned around again to fight Tang Shuai.

However, compared with the last time, he significantly reduced his strength, and after hitting him twice, he directly chose to turn around and lean back.

A smile appeared at the corner of Tang Shuai's mouth, Barnes actually chose to hit him with his back, I don't know that Johnson once systematically guided him, don't you know that he now has a purple Eagle King back pack and the truth turns around and leans back?

It seems like...... I really don't know.

Tang Shuai reached out directly, and the upgraded presidential defense package allowed him to deal with opponents of Barnes' level more than enough.

In fact, Tang Shuai has already scanned Barnes's skill pack, there are many purple skill packs, but there is no exclusive skill pack, such strength has also played a value in the Warriors, and it is obviously not enough to cultivate a core, he let Barnes be the second leader, and he has already considered that the latter is young and has potential to be tapped.

The moment he stretched out his hand, the president's defense bag was activated, and the blindfold defense was directly in front of Barnes's eyes.

Barnes lost his shooting vision at once, and he didn't expect Tang Shuai to react so quickly.

"Bang!"

With a muffled thud, Barnes' shot popped out of the basket.

"Well, then, it's my turn." After Tang Shuai took the ball, he walked to the three-point line and said to Barnes with a smile.

Barnes patted his chest, didn't speak, and sank his weight into a defensive position.

Tang Shuai did not spare any effort, although it would embarrass Barnes, but now it is obviously the most important thing to convince him.

In the first ball, Tang Shuai directly chose to break through.

Barnes's center of gravity continued to change with Tang Shuai's change of direction, but it was obvious that Barnes's reaction alone was much worse than Tang Shuai's, not to mention Tang Shuai's unpredictable feints.

"Snap" a change of direction, Tang Shuai completely got rid of Barnes and sent the ball into the basket steadily.

Although Barnes has a purple defensive skill pack, he is still very weak against the AI-exclusive corssover pack that is one level higher than his ability.

Tang Shuai stretched out his hand and made a "1" gesture, then picked up the second ball, still choosing to break through.

This time the breakthrough was even more complete than before, and after passing Barnes, he directly chose a one-handed split.

The slightly performative dunk drew cheers from his Lakers teammates, especially Stephenson and Bynum, who were laughing wildly when the two jokers mingled there.

Barnes' face was not good-looking.

Tang Shuai did not choose to break through again in the third ball, but made a dry pull-up jumper after shaking.

The exclusive Maddie Dry Pull Pack is then activated, and the jump shot is firmly hollow into the net.

3-0, Tang Shuai almost crushed the score.

In the fourth ball, Tang Shuai once again chose a dry pull-out jumper, and with the first quick breakthrough, Barnes didn't catch up, stumbled under his feet, and was directly shaken to the ground.

Tang Shuai's jumper hit again.

4 to 0.

"Don't do that!" The players on the sidelines couldn't bear to look at it, this was simply a one-sided bullfight.

Barnes's eyes were full of unwillingness, and he felt that he was careless in his first ball, which led to the continuous scoring by Tang Shuai.

Tang Shuai dribbled the ball on the outside, the gap between Barnes and his strength was too big, and if he wanted to win, he could end this boring bullfight with one goal.

But just as he was doing so, he noticed the reluctance in Barnes's eyes.

To convince a person, then this kind of unwillingness should not exist.

The fifth ball.

"End it! End it! The Lakers players on the sidelines were making a fool of themselves.

Tang Shuai still chose to pull out after the breakthrough, and this time he deliberately adjusted the angle of the shot, making him a little more off than normal.

"Bang!"

Unexpectedly, Tang Shuai's shot jumped out of the basket.

The moment the ball popped out of the frame, the Lakers players on the sidelines were in an uproar, and Barnes had a gleam in his eyes.

In his consciousness, the jump shot has a hit rate, and he finally waited for Tang Shuai to be inaccurate.

He turned to pick up the ball and walked outside the three-point line himself, his eyes showing a strong sense of battle.

"Come on, let me see if you can be a second-in-command." Tang Shuai sank down and said.

Barnes's body tensed up and he chose to break through.

Tang Shuai quickly leaned up.

Barnes pressed Tang Shuai to the inside, made an emergency stop when he was about to get to the basket, and then scored directly on Tang Shuai's hook hand.

The timing and shot of this ball were well chosen, Tang Shuai was more than ten centimeters shorter after all, and at such a close distance, he could not successfully interfere.

After the goal, Barnes seemed very excited, and threw a punch directly into the air, if it weren't for the fact that there were so many teammates standing on the sidelines, it is estimated that he would have roared this time.

"It seems that you are still qualified to be the second in charge." Tang Shuai nodded and said, Barnes played a good game.

Barnes didn't say anything, walked outside the three-point line with the ball, and with the sweetness of a ball, he finally saw a glimmer of hope for victory.

"Don't do that, Don, I'm blocking you to win." Nick Young shouted from the sidelines.

"Come on Harrison, you can do it!" At this moment, Azeri suddenly shouted, he was the only one of these Lakers players who pressed Barnes to win. (To be continued.) )
