PS: It's been four shifts! Ask for a commuter pass! Ask for a commuter pass! Ask for a commuter pass! Brothers!!

Cassel spoke, and the team had to disperse first.

Tang Shuai looked at the results of the investigation a little speechlessly, and made up his mind that he was going to ask Duffy to appeal to the league about this matter after returning to Los Angeles.

The fans outside the arena waited for the results of the league's investigation and left after being evacuated by security guards shortly after.

The Clippers didn't stay in Portland after leaving the arena in a car, and flew back to Los Angeles that night.

It was late at night when he returned to Los Angeles, and Cassel disbanded after gathering the players for a short meeting to keep them focused, and after the disbandment, he had a private conversation with Tang Shuai for a while to keep Tang Shuai confident and promised that he would persuade the team to appeal to the league.

Tang Shuai also knew that Cassel had done his best and did not ask for anything in person, and he had already made up his mind to go back to Duffy to deal with this matter, according to the rules, the agent has the right to appeal to the league for the player.

Shortly after Tang Shuai and Cassel finished talking, Cassel was called to his personal office by the team's general manager, Dave Wall.

Of course, Tang Shuai didn't know everything that happened later, he drove back directly and was bound to lose.

It was already more than 12 o'clock in the morning when he returned to the villa, and Anna was still in New York and had not returned, but the light in the living room was on, and after he opened the door and entered, he soon saw Duffy sitting on the sofa in the living room, smoking hard, maybe he was smoking too quickly, choking on a cough, but he didn't stop.

The ashtray on the table was densely packed with cigarette butts, and Duffy had obviously smoked a lot of cigarettes here.

When Tang Shuai entered the door. Duffy turned his head to see it and snuffed out the cigarette butt. Then he said, "You're finally back." ”

"James? Do you smoke? Tang Shuai is a non-smoker, and swept away the smoke in front of him with his hands. He asked.

"First time pumping." Duffy said with a wry smile.

People who don't smoke only think of this kind of play when they are troubled, and Tang Shuai saw Duffy's reaction, and immediately knew that it was because of him.

He walked over to the couch and sat down, turned his head and asked, "Are you waiting for me?" ”

Duffy nodded and said, "I have prepared the documents and am ready to appeal to the alliance tomorrow." ”

Tang Shuai nodded, sure enough, Duffy is still the same Duffy, and he can take a step ahead of everything.

"But don't hope too much." Duffy's next words made Tang Shuai look very surprised.

"Why?" He asked.

"You'll be fine with that punch, but if I'm there. Knowing that he already has the video in his hand, he will definitely turn around and ask the bar owner to delete the surveillance video. Duffy did not directly answer Tang Shuai's question.

"Of course it's too late to say now, I just want to tell you that you have to be prepared to be banned, because this time, rightly or wrongly, it gives the league an excuse, damn it!" Duffy couldn't help but curse as he spoke, looking very angry.

"Excuses?" Tang Shuai looked at Duffy suspiciously, he didn't quite understand the meaning of his words.

Duffy couldn't help but pick up his cigarette again. When he was ready, he turned around and looked at Tang Shuai: "You don't mind, right?" ”

"You smoke it." Tang Shuai saw that Duffy was irritated like this because of his own affairs, of course he wouldn't let him smoke.

Duffy ordered another one, took a sharp sip, and waited for it to be spit out. Only then did he say: "You should also know that the all-star voting matter, celebrities and the media reacted greatly to the voting results. And most of them are negative. ”

"I know they don't want a yellow guy to be on the All-Star Arena like that." Tang Shuai said bluntly. That's what he did on the field because he knew that. Including tonight's game, they are trying to prove that they are worthy of the support of the fans.

"Damn it!" Duffy couldn't help but curse again.

Tang Shuai looked at Duffy in surprise, his always calm agent, was extremely excited tonight.

"Damn it! There is a lot of pressure on the public opinion of the alliance from celebrities and the media, and the alliance has been thinking about this aspect of things, and the rules they have formulated themselves are now trying to find ways to make some small moves, damn it! Duffy practiced swearing.

Hearing Duffy's words, even if he didn't explain it, Tang Shuai knew what it meant.

Although he performed very well after the All-Star vote, the bias of the media and celebrities was not less, but caused another wave of excitement when the second round of voting was announced, which put considerable pressure on the league.

These celebrities and media are part of the NBA, and it is impossible for the league not to consider these, and this time his excesses just gave the league a reason, that is, the "excuse" in Duffy's mouth, there are only three or four days left in the third round of voting, and the final announcement date is only six or seven days left, and when the Clippers only have 3 games during this time, the 3-game ban is equivalent to a direct announcement that Tang Shuai will not appear on the court again before the final results of the All-Star voting are out.

Can't play? What do you do to entice fans to continue supporting you? You have to know that players speak by their performance.

This is simply red. Bare. Naked cheating!

It's no wonder Duffy is so excited.

Duffy took another puff of his cigarette and said, "You see, there are a lot of unfairness in the alliance, but the alliance is the alliance, and it is the only one. ”

"Get me a cigarette too." Tang Shuai stretched out his hand and said to Duffy.

Duffy handed over a cigarette to Tang Shuai and lit it, and then said: "Cigarettes are not many bad things, but there are some things that many people are touching, so you can just don't touch them." ”

Tang Shuai certainly knows what Duffy is referring to, NBA players use big. Hemp was already an open secret, he took a deep breath and nodded.

"I know you're going to have a good career, and your progress has shown me exactly what is possible since I approached you, so let's leave this at that for now, and when you have the power to influence the league, maybe the top executives who make decisions will get what they deserve." Duffy followed.

Tang Shuai turned his head and glanced at Duffy in surprise, and nodded: "I will do it." ”

Duffy is right, in fact, not to mention the NBA, there are always some unfairness in this world, such as Reaves who did not allow him to play before, and what he can do is to change these injustices after he has enough ability and influence, just like he did before with the Clippers.

"Alright, go to bed early, I'll submit an appeal request to the league tomorrow, regardless of the outcome. And the all-star vote has not been announced, no one knows the final result, good will always triumph over evil, right? Duffy snuffed out the last cigarette and said with a smile.

"There will always be superheroes." Tang Shuai also said bitterly.

"Bang!"

Kassel slammed the door from the general manager's office in a rage, he really couldn't believe that Wall would let him give up the idea of appealing to the league, let alone accept Wall's reason for saying that the league maintained its image, if the team was unwilling to appeal, he was ready to go through the players' union, there should always be an explanation, he did not allow his players to suffer such unfair treatment.
