"You have to be clear, we have just experienced a trade now, the run-in time is not enough, in terms of strength, there is not much difference with the Rockets, we were able to win the game, a large part of the reason is that Corey is familiar with Harden, but such an opportunity will not appear in the next game, the next game of the next game, because we will not meet the Rockets again in the next wave of home games!"

Cassel was a little emotional, and it could be seen that he wanted to prove himself with a wave of back-to-back wins in this wave of home games.

Tang Shuai also heard the overtone from Kassel's reprimand, he was afraid that the players would lose their mental imbalance after winning the Rockets, so he deliberately trained so hard, after all, after physical fatigue, the players could think about things psychologically.

"So I want you guys to get the mentality right, and our goal is the championship, whether it's for the team or for yourself, that's the only goal for this Clippers team, so you have to see where the team is now, we're not here to celebrate!" Look at the Warriors next door, after winning against the Hornets yesterday, they're on a 15-game winning streak! 19 wins and 1 loss! Don't you feel a little pressure? ”

Although the Warriors won the championship last season, many fans were unmoved by the way they relied on their jump shots, thinking that it was just luck, but this season's performance of the Warriors was once again surprising, and if it wasn't for the loss to the Clippers in Game 5, they should have won an astonishing 20 consecutive wins by now!

What a horrible feat!

Kassel compared the Warriors, and the fluttering feeling after the team's big win over the Rockets disappeared all at once.

"Are the Warriors better than us?" Cassel asked abruptly.

Guys, look at me, I'll look at you. I don't know how to answer, in terms of record. The Warriors now have the best record in the league, and of course they are better than them. But who can say such a show of weakness.

"Not really!" Without waiting for the players to answer, he directly followed, "If they are better than us, and we won the game before, then why?" ”

"Because we're better than them!" Stephenson shouted.

The players immediately burst into laughter, the victory or defeat of a game does not mean anything, the fact that the Warriors are now the first in the league is understandable, and only a joke like Stephenson would make such a joke.

"That's true, but not entirely." Kassel's surprise answer was startling. The team members stopped laughing and looked at him suspiciously.

"A win or loss in one game doesn't tell the difference in quality between the two teams, but at least it shows that we have the right to compete with the Warriors, and despite the eight-game losing streak, we have an 11-2 record now, do you see that clearly?"

Kassel's words made the players quiet down at once.

That's right!

Aside from the eight consecutive defeats during the team's turmoil, the four consecutive wins at the start of the tournament made Kassel 7-2 in nine games after becoming head coach. This kind of record is not much worse than the Warriors!

This time, there is obviously something called confidence on the faces of the players, and it also shows an upward momentum.

Tang Shuai also secretly gave Kassel a thumbs up again. The previous speech when he first became the head coach was already impressive, and this time it was even more impressive, not only did it make the players lose their impetuous mentality. And the key fighting spirit also came up, such a speech. Compared to Reeves's incessant chicken soup, it is obviously much more effective.

"Alright. Everyone was tired from today's training, so obviously we had a break in the morning, and we continued in the afternoon. Kassel then announced the disbandment of the team.

The Brooklyn Nets, formerly known as the New Jersey Nets, were acquired by Russian tycoon Bruce Ratner in 2014 and moved from New Jersey to Brooklyn, New York, which officially changed its name to its current name.

For the Nets, Tang Shuai's impression is more of that in New Jersey, at that time, the Nets triumvirate composed of Kidd, Carter, and Jefferson reached the finals in a row, although they failed to win the final championship, but the team led by Kidd, Carter, who was half-human and half-god, and Jefferson's aerial basketball was memorable.

There is also Yi Jianlian's peak in the Nets, although the record is not good, but he handed over 12 points and 7 rebounds, and he is also the first person after Yao Ming.

But those glories and memories are in the past, the current Brooklyn-era Nets team is not too famous, really to talk about it, maybe only the one that sent almost all the future draft picks of the Nets, and traded the two veterans of the Green Shirts, Pierce and Garnett, is impressive, you must know that Pierce and Garnett were at the end of their careers at that time, and the Nets also paid N more draft picks for this, and this deal did not bring much improvement to the Nets, Instead, it made Billy King and the deal a laughing stock for the league.

On December 17, US time, after four consecutive days of rest, the energetic Clippers ushered in a game against the Brooklyn Nets at home.

During the warm-up before the game, Tang Shuai took the initiative to run to the half of the Nets.

Although he was not familiar with this Nets team, there was one person he had to say hello to.

Joe Johnson, when Duffy took him to Brewlin to ask Johnson to teach him back skills, and he also took advantage of the trend to lay a weakened purple back single pack, which added a lot of help to him in the NBDL and subsequent games, usually have no time to go to Brooklyn, this is on the court, must meet.

"Hey, Don!" Before Tang Shuai could say hello, Johnson had already noticed him over there, and then greeted him.

"Hey, Joe, it's so exciting to see you again!" Tang Shuai said and went up to Johnson and gave him a strong hug.

"I see, you're such a genius, it's only been a long time since you've fully learned the technique of carrying your body, and you're better than me." Johnson said with a smile that he had clearly followed Tang Shuai's recent games.

"That's not how well you taught." Tang Shuai said with a smile.

"Haha~" Johnson let out a hearty laugh, he hadn't been happier in a long time since he was traded to the Nets.

After a brief exchange between the two people, the time on the sidelines was almost over, and after the two separated, the game officially began!

On the Nets' side, the starting lineup has not changed from before, with Brook Lopez, who used to be teammates with Yi Jianlian, and space power forward Thaddeus Young on the inside, Jarrett Jack and Joe Johnson, who are known as the bench counterattack kings, and Croatian Bojan Bogdanovic on the outside.

The Clippers have also made changes to the lineup, and Brewer, who played well in the last game, appeared in the starting lineup, but Tang Shuai is still on the bench, and it can be seen that Kassel is still the main scorer on the bench.
