Tang Shuai was silent for a while. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Kupchak's second question is completely out of his mind, although he didn't say it directly, but the team's deal should have been negotiated, and now ask him to decide the direction of the deal, after all, the small-ball tactics and non-small-ball tactics need two completely different lineups, and the trade plan must be very different.

"It's true that quick offense and defense are the trend in basketball, but that doesn't mean you have to go small-ball, and the league doesn't have a second Draymond Green, and the Warriors lost the championship last year." Tang Shuai didn't say it very directly, but the meaning was already very clear.

"Okay, I already know what you're thinking." Kupchak said and then turned to look at Bass Jr., then said, "Your dunk was wonderful today, I discussed it with Jim and decided to put up a large poster of you outside the arena......"

Having got the answer he wanted, Kupchak moved on to something else.

Although Tang Shuai didn't understand all of Kupchak's intentions, he could feel that the trade deadline in a few days would be a bloody storm for the Lakers.

After returning to the hotel, Tang Shuai did not go out to party with Paul and them like last time, but went to bed early to recharge his energy to prepare for the next day's game.

This is the second All-Star game he has participated in, and the last time, he relied on a single consumption pack, and finally got a good stat of 20 points and 5 assists, whether it is as a rookie or a fan-voted starter, his performance is more than deserving.

But this time is different, although there are reasons for domestic fans, but this time he is the real All-Star ticket king, beating James and Curry, if he wants to block the mouths of those commentators and the media, he must show enough performance.

All-Star Game MVP, with his current strength, is definitely something to consider.

Time passed, and in a blink of an eye, the next day, Tang Shuai went to the stadium two hours early.

When he arrived at the stadium, he also met a few old acquaintances, Zhang Weiping, who seems to always be the front reporter of the All-Star, the two old acquaintances met and chatted for more than ten minutes, which can be regarded as worthy of the Weiping Bryant hook bag he carried.

There's also Easter Smith, who doesn't have an All-Star program, but because he played for the Pelicans for a season, he's here to join in the fun.

Recalling last season's performance, Tang Shuai originally wanted to try to recruit, but after knowing that he was doing well with the Pistons, he gave up the idea.

He also met Taylor Swift, who hadn't seen her for a long time, and she agreed to be the opening guest of this All-Star Game, which is really surprising, you must know that her current income is two or three times more than James, and she is definitely the first star.

I haven't seen Swift for a long time, Tang Shuai originally wanted to have a good chat, but she was too busy, and it was on this occasion, so she could only give up temporarily.

Not long after, the players from the east and west came to the scene one after another, and because Tang Shuai arrived early, when he saw them coming, everyone he knew went over to say hello.

Although I only played in the NBA for one season, I really got to know a lot after a while.

After the players arrived, they all warmed up, and Tang Shuai also joined in with the ball.

Westbrook, perhaps a little uncomfortable with his sneakers, fiddled with them twice, and then asked the staff to help him get spare shoes in the locker room.

At this moment, the sharp-eyed reporter quickly pounced.

"Hello, Russell, I'm a reporter for the New Orleans Newspaper, I'm ......" The reporter wants to be thick-skinned enough, this female reporter goes up, that expression, unless you beat her away, it's a dead end.

In fact, Westbrook was very cold in front of the media, and it was rumored that after a Thunder game, a group of reporters were waiting for him to come out after a shower for an interview, but he came out, didn't say a word, and left with a stiff face.

This female reporter must also know about this, and she dares to go up at this time, and it seems that she is also a big-hearted person.

Sure enough, Westbrook's brow furrowed, and he turned his head to look at the staff around him.

"Ma'am, I'm sorry, but all pre-match interviews are not allowed unless the player himself wants to." The staff quickly blocked the female reporter.

"Russell, just a few questions, just a few questions, please." The female reporter looked pleadingly at Westbrook.

Westbrook's heart softened, but he finally nodded.

The female reporter's face was excited, and she immediately squatted down, regardless of whether her chest would be springy, and the photographer behind her quickly squatted down and began to shoot.

"Russell, this is your sixth All-Star appearance, does this time feel special compared to the past?" The female reporter didn't waste a second, so she asked directly.

"Well, it's an honor to be an All-Star, and this year it's a start, and I think it's an affirmation and encouragement from the team for my performance." Westbrook's answer was official.

"Well, last year and the year before that, you won the MVP of the All-Star Game for a second time, are you going to make history with three consecutive AMVPs this year?" The female reporter then asked.

MVP is the highest affirmation of players, regular season MVP, finals FMVP, All-Star Game AMVP, all of which are extremely golden, three consecutive FMVP history only Jordan and shark O'Neal have completed, three consecutive MVP only Bird and Russell have done, but three consecutive AMVP history no one has completed, Westbrook 2015, 2016 All-Star Game has won the AMVP, with the competitive state he showed this year, he is likely to become the creator of this history.

"Well, it would be nice to make history." Westbrook was honest.

This candor also made the female reporter smile.

By this time, the staff had already brought over Westbrook's spare sneakers.

The female reporter saw that Westbrook was about to change his shoes, and hurriedly said: "Last question, before this All-Star Game, Don is undoubtedly the best player, will he be your biggest challenge to complete the three consecutive AMVP?" ”

Hearing the reporter's question, Westbrook's smile slowly retracted, and he said with some seriousness: "I don't really like your way of asking, if Don and I are opponents, I will definitely spare no effort, but we are teammates, and we will try to win the game, so your question itself is problematic." ”

"But ......"

"I'm sorry." Westbrook grabbed his spare sneakers and stood up straight.

The female reporter also got up and wanted to ask, but was quickly blocked by the staff.

Westbrook walked over to the bench next door and sat down, then took care to change his sneakers.

The female reporter had no choice but to give up.

At this time, the players were almost warmed up, and Tang Shuai was just about to come over to rest, he didn't hear it in front, but he heard what Westbrook said in the end.

Why does it seem that Wei Shao's attitude towards him has changed?

In the past, the two teams met a lot in the game, and even in the playoffs, Mars hit the earth, and after the game, there was constant saliva, counting what he said at the last press conference, he could clearly feel this change in attitude.

I don't know if that means something else.

The game is getting closer and closer, Tang Shuai saw that Zhang Weiping and Yu Jia had already sat on the commentary platform, and it seemed that it would not be long before it started.

Sure enough, within a few minutes, a staff member from the scene came over and reminded them that they could go back to the locker room.

It was a relatively long wait, and they got to the locker room and chatted here and there.

Although Green has a big mouth, he is really a talkative person in the locker room, and the locker room atmosphere is quite good for him.

However, at this time, Tang Shuai also noticed that Westbrook was sitting in the corner a little lonely, and he turned his head to look in the direction of Durant again, and found that he was laughing and chatting with Green, Thompson, and Curry there.

He couldn't help but feel some emotion in his heart.

It is said that after Durant chose to go to the Warriors, Westbrook has not talked to him so far, and the two of them have changed from friends who talk about everything to familiar strangers, which is really embarrassing.

During the time they spent in the locker room, the fans outside the stadium had been put into the stadium one after another, and the scene was soon full.

"I said New Orleans. Clothed Girl. Lang is really good, if you want to finish the game, I'll take you ......"

Green was talking there when a staff member came in and reminded them that they could go out and get ready.

Durant patted Green, then stood up as the players walked out of the locker room.

The group quickly lined up in the players' tunnel.

Outside there was a wave of cheers from the fans, and Swift had already started singing before the game, and the ethereal singing came into the aisle, which immediately caused the players to talk again.

Tang Shuai felt an invisible embarrassment around him at this time.

The players were lined up in the order in which they played, and he was third from the bottom.

In front of him is Westbrook, and behind him is Durant.

The previous conversation was high, and even James in the East next to him was chatting with Wade, but he was quiet and weird here, Tang Shuai really wanted to look back at the expression on Durant's face, but he felt that it was inappropriate.

It really feels like an ant on a hot pan.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for the outside show to be almost underway, and the players from the east and west began to be introduced.

The players from the East and West alternate and will be introduced to them soon.

"This is his 6th All-Star Game, he is a two-time All-Star Game MVP, Russell ~~ Westbrook!"

The DJ outside the court shouted Westbrook's name, and Tang Shuai saw that his shoulder was obviously slumped, as if he was relieved, and then stretched out his hand and walked out of the court.

There was a deafening cheer outside.

After Westbrook, Irving also played.

Wait for the outside sound to fall again.

"This is the second year of his career, and the second time he has been selected to the All-Star Game, he is Don~~ handsome!!" There was a loud and elongated shout from DJs outside. (To be continued.) )
