"Don, what the hell are you doing?" As soon as the door opened, Duffy looked angry.

"James, be quiet, Anna is still here, you are yelling like this, wait until people don't let us live here." Tang Shuai stretched out his finger and pointed upstairs and said.

"You!" Duffy was about to explode, he took a few deep breaths to calm himself down a little, entered the room, walked to the edge of the bed and sat down.

After a while, he calmed down a bit, and then said in a calm tone: "Don, this is not like you before, if you change to normal times, it is absolutely impossible for you to be lazy at home all day, and I want to remind you that the Clippers are a strong team, and now is also a critical moment for team competition, if you relax a little, it is likely that you will have no chance to play." ”

"I know." Tang Shuai poured a glass of water for Duffy, and also walked to the edge of the bed and sat down.

"You know? Do you know you're still there? Duffy looked at Tang Shuai speechlessly, he really couldn't figure out how his customers had changed in a blink of an eye.

Tang Shuai took a sip of water and said with some helplessness: "Otherwise? What if I train more? You didn't see how bad Austin's first two games were, but he still got the most minutes on the team, and wasn't it because he was Reaves' own son? ”

Duffy's expression paused, and then he was silent, what Tang Shuai said was indeed an unhappy and helpless thing.

Seeing that Duffy stopped talking, Tang Shuai sighed and said, "James, I haven't changed, I'm just a little depressed, and I have a day off to adjust my mentality back." ”

Duffy remained silent, as if he was thinking about something.

Tang Shuai saw that Duffy didn't speak, and he didn't mean to leave, so he simply didn't bother to sleep, and took the toiletry to the bathroom to wash his face and brush his teeth.

As soon as I went out, I met Anna coming down from the upper floor.

Anna came down and saw him unkempt and couldn't help but laugh.

Tang Shuai smiled awkwardly, because of the habit of playing in college, he didn't shave his hair like other players, so after sleeping for a day, the hairstyle will definitely not look too good.

"How did you sleep all day? If you haven't eaten, do you want me to cook something for you? Anna asked with a smile.

"Okay, I didn't feel it when I fell asleep, but when you say that, I'm really a little hungry." Tang Shuai said with a smile, after a day of sleep, he would naturally not refuse if he could have something to eat.

After washing, I returned to the room and saw that Duffy was still sitting on the bed, but his face was happy, which was completely different from the previous silent state.

Tang Shuai was puzzled for a while, why did he go out to wash his face and brush his teeth, and Duffy seemed to be a different person?

"Don, we've got to find Reeves." Duffy said as he stood up from the bed.

Tang Shuai heard what Duffy said, looked back at Anna and went to the kitchen, he turned around and closed the door, shook his head and said: "It's useless, even if we talk about our tongues rotten, Reeves can't change his mind, that's his own son." ”

"No, that's not what I meant, let's go, of course we can't achieve the goal." Duffy's next words made him confused for a moment.

Not for them to go? So who to go to?

He glanced at Duffy suspiciously, could it be that Duffy's uncle went to the team owner Ballmer and asked Ballmer to put pressure on Reeves?

"Don't look at me like that, I didn't want my uncle to help, he doesn't have the ability, and Ballmer is not going to put pressure on Reeves because of you." Duffy shook his head directly and said.

"And who else? We're not going to have Austin go to his dad and say, dear dad, I think I'm playing too much, please give Don a little bit of my time, he needs playing time? Tang Shuai said jokingly.

Duffy laughed and said, "It seems that your mentality has almost adjusted, and you are already in the mood to joke." ”

"There's no way, isn't this also a pleasure in suffering."

"You don't remember when you played in Summer League, Sam gave you plenty of playing time." Duffy reminded suddenly.

"Sam? You mean Kassel? Tang Shuai saw Duffy nodding, and he followed, "You mean to ask Sam to help me talk to Reeves about this?" ”

Duffy nodded.

I thought Duffy was looking for whom, it turned out that he was looking for Cassel, Tang Shuai's original expectation was also disappointed, and then said: "James, you may not know, when I played the Raptors in the last game, the more than 2 minutes I only had were won by Cassel for me, otherwise I am afraid I won't be able to get a second of playing time, so you should know the weight of Cassel on Reeves' side, right?" ”

"Originally, the assistant coach gave advice to the head coach, and the head coach did not adopt the discretion to make his own decisions, but everything has to be divided into methods, and there are different ways to say it." Duffy said with an oath.

"What are you going to say?" Tang Shuai looked at Duffy suspiciously, not knowing what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd.

"You asked Sam to say that...... Duffy leaned over and whispered.

……

Reeves sat in his office with a sad face, holding the materials in his hand and flipping through them, not like he was looking at something, but venting some emotions.

With only two days left until the China game, the players have not fully recovered from the last defeat, and the next face against the Hornets, in this state, it will definitely be difficult to win, although the preseason win or defeat does not matter, but the team has made so many reinforcements in the summer, if he can't go further than last season's record, owner Ballmer will inevitably have a problem with him.

"Boom ......"

Just then, there was a knock on the door of the office, and he looked up, put the papers down, and said "Come in".

The office door was pushed open, and the person who came in was the team's assistant coach, Sam "The Alien" Cassel.

"Sam? Team training done? Reeves asked in surprise, because he was upset, he didn't go to today's daily training, but let Kassel replace him, according to the time, it shouldn't be over so early.

"Not yet, I've let the players practice the whole game first." Cassel said as he walked over to the desk and sat down.

A trace of doubt flashed in Reeves' eyes, and he looked at Cassel and said, "You have something to do with me?" ”

Cassel nodded and said directly: "Doug, I'm a little worried about the Chinese game, the Hornets won the first two games, especially Jeremy Lin, who was introduced this summer, has a lot of offensive firepower, if we lose again......"

Reeves listened to Kassel's talk about the China game, and his brows were also furrowed, and he was worried about the game.

Kassel looked at Centives and continued: "And I don't think the players seem to have recovered from the defeat in the last game, I did ideological work on them today, but the effect is not obvious, the morale of the players is obviously not as high as it was at the beginning of the preseason. ”

"Alas~" Reeves let out a long sigh, threw the papers on the table in front of Kassel, and said, "I know what you just said, and what I am most worried about now, the team will fly to China tomorrow, the players' fighting spirit is not high, and they have to reverse jet lag, I am really afraid that these two games will be lost, three consecutive defeats, even if it is a preseason, the morale of the team is a little too big." ”

Cassel reached out and picked up the file and looked at it, it was the information of the Hornets, and he suddenly had a bottom in his heart, it seemed that Duffy's guess was not wrong at all, and from this entry point, it could resonate with Reeves at once.

On the issue of Reaves and his son, I would like to explain to you, Big Eggplant belongs to neutral fans, and there is no deliberate intention to see which player or which team is unhappy, everything is to promote the plot, as for why they are, there are many reasons for this, you should have seen some now, the Chinese game between the Clippers and the Hornets, the popularity of the Clippers, in reality, the Clippers' opening record is not ideal, Reaves Jr. plays a lot of time but does not perform well, Smith and Stephenson play less time, etc., what I write is still biased towards reality, The purpose is actually very simple, that is, to let everyone better participate.

Big eggplant has been saving manuscripts recently.,I hope there will be a long-term outbreak when it's on the shelves.,I hope you can support a lot at that time.,By the way, ask for a recommendation vote.,Thank you very much!
