"It's not you, it's Lance." Duffy said as he handed the tablet to Tang Shuai.

WOJ: According to reliable sources, the Clippers sent Lance Stephenson to Jeff Green for the Grizzlies.

It's just a one-for-one, without any extra chips, and judging from the performance of the two players this season, it's worth about the same.

It's just that......

"Lance was finally traded away." Tang Shuai couldn't help but sigh.

"According to my sources, Danny wants to get Stephenson from the Clippers, and if Stephenson is traded to the Grizzlies, you'll stay with the Clippers." Duffy followed, "That's at least a good thing for you. ”

Tang Shuai smiled bitterly: "Sort of." ”

If his own team was going to watch his friend being sent away, he would rather be the one who left.

"No, Danny is crazy!" At this moment, Duffy suddenly slapped his thigh and stood up directly.

"What's wrong?" Tang Shuai looked at the overexcited Duffy suspiciously.

"Danny offered to trade the Nets' unprotected draft pick for you and the 2019 first-round pick?" Duffy held the tablet and said with a look of disbelief.

"Huh?" Tang Shuai looked at Duffy suspiciously, he didn't know much about draft picks.

"The Nets' pick is a top-five pick, no, a top-three pick, no. It's likely to be the champion lot! Duffy was a little incoherent.

"Champion sign? You mean I'm going to the Celtics? Tang Shuai's body shook uncontrollably when he spoke, and his sleepiness disappeared all of a sudden.

"Wait." Duffy said and looked at the time of the trade deadline. There were only a few minutes left before 2 o'clock, and he saw the latest sources.

Tang Shuai's palms were also a little uncontrollable sweating at this time. The more final moments there are, the more uncontrolled the nerves become.

Time was passing minute by minute, and two people, four eyes constantly staring at the refreshed screen.

Finally, 2 o'clock passed, but there was still no new news, as if all the information related to the trading deadline had been sent.

"It's over?" Seeing that the time on the tablet, on the mobile phone and on the watch had passed 2 o'clock, Tang Shuai said with a sigh of relief.

"It should be over." Duffy said, putting down the tablet. The deadline for the trade is 2 o'clock, after which the transaction cannot take effect even if the two parties reach an agreement.

After a night of waiting, the moment it really ended, the tense bodies of the two people relaxed for a while.

"Then I'll go to sleep." Tang Shuai let out a sigh of relief, and then stood up, this night's tossing was much more tiring than playing.

"Go ahead." Duffy stiffened and stood up. Pick up the tablet and get ready to go back to the room to sleep.

"Glare! Stare at! ”

At this moment, a message came from the tablet.

At two o'clock in the evening, the surroundings were already silent, and the sound was particularly clear. Both of them unconsciously stopped, and then looked at the tablet in Duffy's hand suspiciously.

Duffy was even more attracted at first sight.

"Dave is really crazy!" Then came his look of disbelief.

"What's the matter? Shouldn't I be traded to another team? Tang Shuai was nervous by Duffy's surprise.

"It's not." Duffy shook his head.

"Didn't you react like this?" Tang Shuai was a little speechless.

"No, the Clippers turned down the draft pick plus Bradley. Trade your and Brewer's schemes! Duffy handed the tablet to Tang Shuai in surprise.

"What?" After knowing the weight of the Nets' draft pick, plus Bradley's trade value is much greater than Brewer's. Tang Shuai immediately heard how much praise the plan was in Duffy's mouth, and directly grabbed the tablet and looked at it.

There are two messages in total.

WOJ: The Clippers made a deal with the Celtics. The Clippers sent Don Shuai, Corey Brewer plus a 2017 second-round pick, Bradley from the Boston Celtics in trade, and an unprotected first-round pick from the Nets.

The first is the news of the transaction, and the time point is exactly 2 o'clock, which means that the deal has been reached, which is sent by Jordan woj in the media world!

But as soon as this was sent, he was slapped in the face by the next message, and the person who slapped his face was Woj himself.

WOJ: Clippers president Steve Ballmer rejected a trade offer for the Clippers and Celtics, and the trade fell through at the last minute.

The meaning of these two pieces of news together is that Angie and **** have reached a deal, but they were rejected by Ballmer when it was finally confirmed!

It all happened so dramatically!

"No general manager is going to turn down this plan unless he's crazy, but it's the team owner who's crazy right now, Don, and Mr. Ballmer knows you well?" Duffy turned his head to look at Tang Shuai.

Ripe? Familiar fart! Except for the last time we met in the locker room, I didn't talk at all at other times!

Tang Shuai scolded in his heart, but immediately shook his head and said with a smile: "I'm not familiar, but it's a good thing now, I'm still in the team." ”

"That's right, once the trade deadline is over, you can start thinking about the playoffs with the team." Duffy really put away the tablet, yawned and entered the room.

"Ballmer, the boss of Microsoft?" Tang Shuai muttered, not knowing why Ballmer would reject the deal in the end.

It's ****, and in the end he sold him as a commodity, although that kind of chip really can't be refused, but this shows that **** is an impersonal person.

As soon as the trade deadline passed, all the rumors and information came to an abrupt end, there was no imaginary storm, and even many of the deals that seemed to fans and experts to be going to happen nine times out of ten did not happen in the end, which was like a storm and clouds. It was a precursor to a storm, but it ended up with only a drizzle.

But that's the drizzle. The Clippers are also part of it.

On the second day of the trade deadline, Tang Shuai got up on time. Then I went to the Staples Center, and today was the team's daily training day.

At the end of the training, Tang Shuai took off his jersey and was about to take a shower.

"Hey, guys." Just then, there was a shout at the door of the locker room.

The voice was very familiar, Tang Shuai guessed who it was, and immediately turned around: "Lance!" ”

It was Stephenson who came in, the deal had happened last night, and he had come to pick up the contents of the closet.

"Don!" Stephenson said and hugged Tang Shuai.

At this time, the other teammates gathered together. After moving from the Reaves era to the Kassel era, the atmosphere in the Clippers' locker room is getting better day by day, and Stephenson's joke often entertains himself to amuse others, and his teammates naturally love him.

Hugging and playing with Tang Shuai, Stephenson turned to the others and smiled and said: "Hey, guys, we will be opponents in the future, you have to be merciful when you meet me, otherwise I will be abandoned by the coach." I can't get mixed up. ”

Stephenson, who is usually very arrogant in the locker room, suddenly made the others laugh at this moment, but there was a hint of sourness in the laughter.

No one wants to be separated from their teammates who get along with them like this.

"Lance, Gasol Jr. in Memphis is injured. You've had great opportunities in the past, so take advantage of them this time. Then Paul spoke.

"Gotta be, those headless flies in Memphis are waiting for me to lead them." Stephenson said unscrupulously.

Paul couldn't help but shake his head. But I still stepped forward and gave him a hug.

"Lance, I'm going back to Los Angeles later. Be sure to go out and have enough drinks after the game. Josh Smith came up at this time, and without saying a word, it was just a bear hug.

". If I don't put you down, I'm not going back to Memphis. Stephenson laughed.

The rest of his teammates said goodbye to Stephenson one by one, and when it was final, Stephenson walked back to the closet to pack up his things.

The wardrobe on Tang Shuai's left was originally Redick, which was later given to Booker, who was traded, and the one on the right was Stephenson's.

"Lance, I'm sorry, I thought I would be able to stop this deal." Tang Shuai blamed himself and said that he couldn't prevent the transaction from happening, and it would become a memory that he would never forget.

"Block?" Stephenson was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile, "You kid shouldn't be stupid enough to go to Dave, right?" That's not going to work. ”

"You're right, it's not going to work." Tang Shuai smiled bitterly, how could a general manager like **** who is not humane be useful.

"My brother, I can actually guess that you will go, but I also know that it is useless, so don't think about it anymore, you should bless me more than this, I am going to a new city, again." Stephenson said with a smile.

Tang Shuai was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly laughed, playing in the Pacers, but then he was displaced, and Stephenson was about to become a homeless man in the NBA.

When he laughed, he found that his nose was a little pantothenic, patted Stephenson's shoulder, and said, "I'll stay a few more years this time, and you won't be too tossed to change places." ”

"Definitely, you just wait for my good news." Stephenson said as he pulled his backpack, and by this time, he was almost packed.

After another hug with Tang Shuai and another hello to the other teammates, Stephenson carried his duffel bag, waved to his teammates, and then turned and left the locker room.

Tang Shuai looked at Stephenson's back and couldn't help but press his fist.

He must continue to work hard and strive for the right to speak one day sooner, so that this kind of brother being traded away will not happen again.

The NBA trade didn't happen on the same day that a new teammate joined, just like Stephenson, who left the Clippers not immediately to report to the Grizzlies, but had to go through a routine physical exam first.

For example, in the early years, the Rockets wanted to trade Robert Horry and Matt Bullard for the Pistons' Sean Elliott, but Elliott failed the medical examination due to kidney problems, and the deal was eventually canceled.

So the Clippers traded for Green, and there is also a medical date.

Of course, this is the official statement, actually. The speed of the physical examination is entirely up to the team that accepts it, and the Clippers desperately need Green. So the day after Stephenson left, he came to the team to report on the game against the Nuggets.

"Guys. This is our new teammate, Jeff. Cassel took Green to the locker room and spoke to his teammates as they changed their training uniforms.

"Hey, everyone." Green smiled and waved to the Clippers players, as one of the "Thunder Three Less", Green went to the Celtics, then to the Grizzlies, and finally to the Clippers.

"Hey. Welcome. Paul smiled and beckoned to Green.

The other team members also responded with a sexual beckoning.

Tang Shuai even beckoned, and then turned around and went back to his own business.

It is obvious that Stephenson's trade is not what the Clippers want to see, and Green is obviously not so popular as a "replacement" for Stephenson.

"You're in that position, it turned out to be Lance's location." Cassel pointed to Stephenson's original closet.

Green nodded, picked up his bag and walked over.

"Don, take care of Jeff, he's not a rookie." Cassel admonished Tang Shuai, and then left in a hurry. Judging by his appearance, he should have been busy arranging the tactical arrangements for the evening.

Tang Shuai answered, didn't look back, and sorted himself out.

"Hello. Don, I'm Jeff. Green walked to the closet, smiled and stretched out his hand to Tang Shuai.

Tang Shuai turned his head. Glancing at Green, he reached out and shook his hand casually. Then he turned to Booker and said, "Devon, didn't you say you wanted to train with me?" Let's go now? ”

Booker heard that Tang Shuai was going to take him to training. Nodding his head again and again.

Tang Shuai walked out of the locker room directly, and Booker also followed, leaving Green embarrassed on the spot.

After a long while, he shook his head helplessly.

At this time, he looked at other teammates, and no one came up to greet him, so it was predictable that his time with the Clippers would not be too easy.

Although he had just finished training, as soon as he saw Green, Tang Shuai unconsciously remembered Stephenson who was traded, and his heart was not happy, so he started practicing directly at the training ground.

Booker followed behind, and the two of them practiced in full swing.

Billups hurriedly passed by the training hall with a tactical hand test at this time, heard the sound of "bang" inside, stopped and looked inside, and after seeing that it was Tang Shuai and Booker, he frowned, and then walked in.

"Stop!" He shouted as soon as he entered.

Booker heard the shout, immediately stopped, turned around and saw that it was Billups, and immediately smiled and said, "Coach Chauncey." ”

Tang Shuai was devoting himself to shooting training and didn't hear a shout.

"Don! Stop it! Billups shouted louder.

Tang Shuai heard it at this time, and after stopping, he looked at Billups breathlessly.

"What are you doing?" Billups said with some displeasure.

"We're training." Booker said with a smile.

"Nonsense! I trained in the afternoon, what do you train now? Want to train yourself? Billups reprimanded Booker.

Booker didn't have much status on the team, and he was silent immediately after being trained.

"Don, come with me." Billups suddenly beckoned to Tang Shuai.

Tang Shuai nodded, and then followed.

"Devon, you go and rest, don't let me see you train before the afternoon." Billups said to Booker before leaving.

Booker nodded sheepishly.

After walking a little outside, Billups spoke: "Don, I know that Lance is not in a good mood when he is traded, but don't joke about your career, the training intensity today is already big enough, you practice like this, who is responsible if you practice and get injured?" ”

Tang Shuai was originally holding back a sense of resentment, and when Billups said this, he lowered his head a little ashamedly.

"I heard about what you did to find Dave, although you didn't do anything wrong, but what you did was ridiculous, you did your best in this matter, let him turn the page, the alliance is far more cruel than you imagined, you should have realized it a long time ago." Billups said earnestly.

Tang Shuai was stunned and didn't speak, he didn't expect that the matter of looking for **** would be known by Billups so soon.

"Now the team is in a difficult period, if you get injured again, I'm afraid Sam's life will not be too easy, he should be your mentor, which is lighter and which is heavier. I don't need to say it better, right? Billups followed.

"I ......" Tang Shuai was speechless for a while, he really hadn't thought about this layer. After a moment he nodded and said, "I see." ”

"Hmm. Play well, and one day when you can really influence management decisions, it won't be like that. Billups patted Tang Shuai on the shoulder as he spoke, then turned to leave.

Tang Shuai looked at Billups's distant figure, and his eyes were a little complicated.

Billups' words touched Don Shuai, but it didn't make him accept Green, not only him, but also the rest of the Clippers, who rarely played with Green in the afternoon practice.

It's in such an atmosphere. The Clippers ushered in the trade deadline and Green's first game with the Clippers against the Nuggets.

Cassel had full trust in Green, and he was scheduled to play as a starting power forward in the first game.

The Nuggets have completely rebuilt this season, and the team is not very strong, which is why Cassel dares to do so.

But Kassel's arrangement is one thing, but what kind of effect it will have is another.

115-97, even though Griffin was sitting on the sidelines in a suit, the Clippers still beat the Nuggets by a big score. Five players scored double-doubles and won easily.

Green's performance wasn't so ideal, though, as Cassel gave him 30 minutes of playing time, and he took three shots in the game. Didn't score a goal, got 2 points on a free throw.

Facing a weak team like the Nuggets, although it was the first game after joining. But such a report card is obviously a bit unreasonable.

Actually, Green played hard. In addition to scoring less, he also put together seven rebounds. He made one block and paid three fouls.

It's just that his teammates really don't like him very much, and those 3 shots were all grabbed by himself.

Kassel naturally saw this, and shouted at the players during the pause, and the players kept nodding, but they still didn't pass it on the field.

In a fast break, Smith and Green hit one-on-one, Green kept beckoning, Smith completely ignored it, and as a result, the forced layup was interfered with and did not score.

Cassel was helpless when he saw this scene, but there was nothing he could do but shake his head, Pierce was injured again after the All-Star Game, and the team was such a substitute power forward, and no one wanted to replace him.

After the Nuggets game, the players returned to the locker room with laughter, only Green was panting alone, and he looked very lonely.

Tang Shuai went back to the villa directly after the game, because of the transaction, his new home move-in plan was delayed for two days, and now that it is stable, he has to move quickly.

"Jaime, why are you at home? Didn't you say there was something wrong with your uncle in the morning? Back at the villa, Tang Shuai was just about to pack up his things, and was taken aback when he saw Duffy.

"Of course I'm back to help you, otherwise you'll be busy alone?" Duffy stood up with a smile.

Tang Shuai pointed at James with his index finger and said with a smile, "Interesting." ”

After living in the villa for more than half a year, he also bought a lot of things, and after tidying up for a while, he sat on the bed to rest, remembering that Anna hadn't come back for so long, and couldn't help asking, "Anna, have you been in touch?" If she moves out, I'm afraid there won't be many opportunities to see her in the future. ”

"She ......," Duffy said, sighing, putting down the magazine in his hand, "her father's condition has deteriorated, so he has been in the hospital and can't get out." ”

"Worsened?" Tang Shuai was stunned for a moment, thought for a while and said, "If her father has been hospitalized, the expenses must be very large, you can help me transfer it when I go back...... 200,000 yuan, don't find a public welfare organization in my name, just thank her for taking care of her all the time. ”

Although she is only Anna's tenant, she is no longer much different from her friends, and in the name of a public welfare organization, I just hope she will not refuse.

"Well, I'll do it when I get back." Duffy nodded, took out his tablet and jot it down.

"You follow along, if it's still not enough, then tell me, as a friend, you can help a little." Tang Shuai then said that after signing the endorsement contract, he is now relatively wealthy financially.

"Okay, I'll follow." After Duffy finished speaking, he seemed to remember something, and suddenly looked up and said, "By the way, I remember earlier, you met Gong Luming, the head coach of the Chinese national team, right?" ”

"Gong Luming?" Tang Shuai nodded, and then looked at Duffy suspiciously, "Why did you suddenly talk about this?" ”

Gong Luming made an appointment to meet him, Duffy didn't know at the time, but it was not long after the start of the season, and more than half a year has passed since now, so Duffy's reflex arc shouldn't be so long, right?

"He's in some trouble." Duffy said bluntly.

"In trouble?" Tang Shuai looked at Duffy suspiciously, he didn't care much about the news after entering the All-Star, and he really didn't know what Duffy was talking about at this time.

"I also saw the news, and I remembered that he had contact with you before, there are still about half a year left in the Rio Olympics, and many countries have already started preparing for the Games in advance, including China, but he seems to have fallen out with the high-level because of the treatment issue." Duffy told everything in one go.

"Treatment?" The doubts in Tang Shuai's eyes were even stronger, although at the end of the Asian Championships, he had heard Gong Luming mention the issue of treatment, but he didn't expect it to pop up again at this juncture. (To be continued.) )
