Maybe it's because he's really old, and Barry's stubbornness is beyond the imagination of others. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

In fact, even his comment is wrong, Tang Shuai has set a new 60-point scoring record when the Lakers "Nine Heroes of Langya Mountain" last season, counting the previous games, in fact, his 50+ games have reached 3 times, which is really no reason for a person who has only played for three years.

However, Barry's remarks, which were completely different from the mainstream, caused an uproar, after all, as a famous commentator of the past, no one expected him to be so stubborn.

For such remarks, the media will naturally not let go of Tang Shuai's attitude.

Before the game against the Knicks, Tang Shuai was caught by reporters asking this question after finishing the pre-game training.

"Don, there's been a lot of buzz among fans lately, and he's publicly claiming that you're not a great scorer, what do you think about that kind of statement?" The opportunity for journalists is rare, and the questions are quite direct.

"Rick's comments were interesting, but I didn't pay much attention to that, in fact, I prefer to focus on the pitch rather than the off-field comments." Tang Shuai did not answer positively.

"Actually, we all know that his comments about you are inherently wrong, right?" The reporter was obviously unwilling to be prevaricated like this, and then asked again.

"Actually, like I said earlier, I don't pay much attention to that, regardless of whether the comment itself is wrong or not." Tang Shuai said emphatically.

"Do you agree with that?" The reporter continued to ask.

Tang Shuai reached out and touched his forehead, obviously this reporter's endurance was beyond his imagination, his teammates were in the stadium at this time, and he didn't want to have too bad an impact, he followed and said: "Okay, if you insist again and again." ”

After hearing this, the reporter's face suddenly became happy.

"Actually, Rick's statement is wrong, of course I don't mean the mistake you said, but, we all know that Allen Iverson is the top scorer in the league, but he has only scored more than 60 points in his career, isn't he a great scorer? Even Michael (Jordan), who has 5 career 60+ games, isn't he the best scorer in history? ”

"So that's not true in itself, and I know a team leader, a really good team leader, who does everything he can to help the team win, and as for the stats, I don't think it's that important in comparison, and I don't care if he's the first person in the league."

Tang Shuai's answer was very simple, and the reporter nodded frequently, these two sentences also completely explained what he was thinking.

In the locker room before the game, Tang Shuai was called to the coach's office by Billups and talked about some thoughts about playing against the Knicks.

The Knicks had a good chemistry with Anthony last season, and eventually reached the Eastern Conference semifinals, although they lost to the Cavaliers, but the 2-4 score was within the acceptable range, and this season in the offseason, they upgraded their shooting guard, through a previous and backward way from the Pelicans in exchange for Terrick Evans, and then signed JJ Redick from the free agent market, the strength has been significantly boosted.

Since the beginning of the game, he has a record of 8 wins and 5 losses, ranking fourth in the East.

The game with the Knicks is bound to be a tough battle, and this is the reason why Billups chatted with Tang Shuai before the game.

When he came out of the coach's office and went back to the locker room to get inside, he heard someone talking about Barry's comments, and it seemed that it had indeed reached the point of discussion.

He pushed the door in, and his teammates were eager to try it when they saw that it was him, and Stephenson came over directly and said: "Don, Rick's old stubbornness is really too much, I didn't think it before, but now I really feel like a clown." ”

"Lance, although Rick's words are not good, it is not right for you to slander people in private like this." Tang Shuai reminded.

"Hey, hey." Lance smiled, and then immediately said, "Don, why don't you get a 60+ in this game and shut up that old guy directly?" ”

"Lance." Tang Shuai turned his head to look at him, and also raised the volume slightly so that others could hear, "Our first task is to win, these remarks have no effect on me, if I really care so much, as early as the draft more than two years ago, I should have withdrawn from this league." ”

"However, you can have both, anyway, if you make a move, the success rate is much greater than ours." Stephenson pretended not to hear at all, and continued.

"Lance!" Tang Shuai shouted at him, but found that what he seemed to say was right, and it was difficult to refute it for a while.

"Don't talk about this again, let's talk about the game against the Knicks, the Knicks have a lot of offensive firepower this season, I went to ...... just now" He didn't know how to say it, and finally simply changed the topic and said.

A group of people chatted in the locker room for most of the day, and Tang Shuai knew that his teammates were still struggling with what Barry said, and they would definitely pull him to say it when they left, so his movements were obviously slower than usual.

When he got dressed, Mike Dermott said hello to him one last time, and he was the last man.

Coming out of the locker room, he was about to go straight back to the villa with his bag on his back, but as soon as he went out, he saw Westbrook standing against the wall with a riotous purple backpack on his shoulder.

When he saw him come out, Westbrook followed him and left the wall, greeting him with a smile, and apparently standing in the doorway for a moment.

"Are you waiting for me?" Tang Shuai was stunned for a moment.

"Hmm." Westbrook nodded, without much explanation, and motioned to go together.

"Actually, I think what Lance said today is okay, the New Yorkers are not very good at defense, and this is a chance for you to score high." After walking a little further, Westbrook suddenly spoke.

"Russell, you suggested that I do that too? It's actually very irrational to do this, and to play for the sake of anger. Tang Shuai stopped and spoke.

"Don, sometimes reason can die." Westbrook also stood still, but as soon as he spoke, he looked full of aura.

Tang Shuai was stunned.

"I think Lance guy is right, you're more consistent than everyone else, including me, and it's just a regular season game, even if we're on a 13-game winning streak now, but it's really not that important." Westbrook followed.

Tang Shuai didn't speak.

"And what is the playing chart? Isn't it just refreshing? If basketball doesn't bring us joy and excitement, then why don't we choose other sports? Westbrook had a look on his face as a matter of course.

"Russell, I suddenly feel that what you said about Stanford last time is absolutely true, and you can actually be a philosopher." After listening to Westbrook's words, Tang Shuai couldn't help but speak.

"I'm not a philosopher, I've just been in this alliance a little longer than you, and I believe in you, and you believe in me, as long as you make up your mind, I will try to help you complete him." Westbrook said in a firm tone.

"So...... Just let reason die! Tang Shuai nodded and said.

"Haha, that's right! Let's go, happy today, let's continue to practice in the evening! ”

“……”

On November 28, U.S. time, at the Madison Square Garden Arena in New York, the Knicks sat at home to meet the challenge of the Lakers, who have won 14 consecutive games.

The Knicks came back to life after last year's trade, and now the ball market is back to the hottest era, and because the opponent is the hottest team in the league today, the attention will naturally not be less.

There is an additional point that, because of the comments of the old Barry, whether Tang Shuai will score crazy points in this game is also particularly interesting.

Because today's game is at the Madison Square Garden arena, which has always been the big stage of the NBA (most of the drafts before 2015 were held here), and players have always been proud to score high points here.

The Lakers players arrived at the arena a little earlier, and Tang Shuai's appearance also attracted a burst of cheers from the fans at the scene.

Although it was an away game, there were still many fans holding KT boards with obvious signs such as "breaking 60 points" and "new scoring record night".

When Tang Shuai saw the slogan here, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head.

Westbrook came over and patted him on the shoulder, and the two of them looked at each other and nodded heartily.

In the final moments before the game, the starting lineups of both sides were released, and the Lakers were the same as the previous lineups, but in terms of position, the point guard for this game was Westbrook.

The Knicks also made changes to the lineup, and head coach Hornacek removed Redick, who had been starting before, from the starter and let Evans as the team's starting point guard, apparently fearing the Lakers' backcourt double gun.

The other four Knicks starters remain the same as last season, with a combination of Noah and Porzingis on the inside, and the remaining two on the inside duo of Rose and Anthony.

After the referee's whistle, the match between the two sides officially began.

Noel jumped to win over Noah to give the visitors their first chance to attack.

Westbrook held the ball and pushed forward, and when he reached the frontcourt, he turned his head to look at Tang Shuai, and then reached out and motioned for Noll to mention a step outside the free throw line to block the pick-and-roll.

One gear, one dismantling.

Westbrook took the ball and rushed in like a bag of explosives.

On the sidelines, Hornacek realized that the Lakers were preparing to open Westbrook, and kept shouting reminders on the sidelines.

Noah and Anthony quickly shrank into the fold.

Westbrook burst out like a tank, pressing directly to the inside, but what Hornacek and the Knicks didn't expect at all was that he was about to burst to the basket, and he didn't choose to be hard as before, but didn't look at his head, and threw his hand directly to the right.

Tang Shuai appeared at the end of Westbrook's pass, and after receiving the ball, he took advantage of Anthony's failure to come to his senses, and took one step past Porzingis, who was assisting in the defense, and started with a pull-up jumper. (To be continued.) )
