After the timeout, the Rockets played a beautiful combination, Anderson helped Harden block Stephenson, and Motai Yunas then blocked Batum, who was helping to defend, Harden got to a position with a 45-degree angle, and Gordon's pass went immediately. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The tactical execution of this ball was almost perfect, and it was still possible to see that D'Antoni had ink in his stomach.

But God seemed to play a little joke on them, and Gordon's pass turned out to be slippery, and it went directly to Stephenson, who was blocked and was returning to Zhao to prepare.

In a moment of consternation from the fans at the stadium and Stephenson himself, he just lay down and took a key steal.

Until Harden wanted to fight back, Stephenson reacted and hugged the basketball.

"Toot!"

The referee's whistle blew as the Rockets had accumulated four fouls prior to the quarter, which sent Stephenson directly to the free-throw line.

Stephenson was a little confused, but when he saw the referee ask him for a free throw, he laughed shamelessly.

Harden kept shaking his head, and Gordon was explaining something he didn't hear.

Stephenson's free throws were still very stable, and after going up, he hit both free throws steadily, and the score was overtaken.

With just over 40 seconds left before the game, the Rockets followed another timeout.

"Lance, you should go buy a lottery ticket." When he got off the field, Tang Shuai pulled Stephenson and said jokingly.

"I'm supposed to go." Stephenson said solemnly.

Both of them then burst out laughing.

After the timeout, it was still a similar tactic as the previous round, except that this time the passer was replaced by Harden, and the shooting man was replaced by Gordon.

It turns out that D'Antoni is a little overthinking, the same tactic is used twice, at this critical moment the Lakers are obviously more vigilant, Gordon finally failed to run out of position like the previous Harden, Harden finally chose to make a foul, but no one was hit at this time, he threw the ball into the air with a little embarrassment, and the referee was stunned that the whistle was not blown.

Noll grabbed the rebound and threw it to Tang Shuai, who wanted to break fast and was directly pulled down by Anderson.

Tang Shuai goes to the free throw line.

“mvp！ mvp！ ”

At this time, the Lakers led by one point, and these two free throws were quite crucial.

The scene resounded with loud cheers from fans.

He took two deep breaths to stabilize his emotions and then made a steady move.

One free throw.

The second penalty was returned.

The difference was stretched to 3 points.

The Rockets called their final timeout.

Tang Shuai, who was off the court, breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that it is time to find a suitable free throw package, otherwise it will be really uncomfortable to be scared by this free throw all night.

After the timeout, the Rockets finally played a successful match, and Harden reversed to get rid of Stephenson's defense and sent the ball to the basket under Batum's strong interference.

A goal with a big heart.

With less than 10 seconds left in the game, the Lakers sent the ball, and Tang Shuai received the ball and suffered another foul from the Rockets.

He took a deep breath, rubbed his hands, and then took the first shot.

Enter.

He let out a sigh of relief and continued with the second penalty.

Second penalty.

"Bang!"

The basketball smashes into the hoop and bounces.

The scene was restless, and the hearts of Tang Shuai and all the fans hung up.

"Huh!"

Fortunately, it bounced up and fell again when it fell into the net bag.

There is no danger.

The Rockets ran out of timeouts, the Lakers players quickly sent backcourt balls, and Harden grabbed the ball after escaping Stephenson's pursuit.

"Bang!"

Harden is not Curry, and he is nowhere near that high in long-range shooting percentage.

91-93, the Rockets lost by two points in the end.

And just as the final whistle blew, the cheers of the scene sprayed out along with the streamers.

Tang Shuai sat down on the ground.

In this game, he played 43 minutes and shot 25 of 38 from the field, contributing a team-high, and also a new career high, or the team's 60 points scored almost two-thirds of the time!

Tang Shuai stood up with Stephenson's support and waved to the audience.

The fans at the scene were moved to see it, and there was a thunderous and long-lasting applause.

In Chinese textbooks, there is a lesson called the Five Heroes of Langya Mountain, and now, the Lakers have won the strong rival Rockets with 9 people, which can be described as a feat.

At the press conference after the game, in the face of reporters' questions, D'Antoni had a gloomy face, and tried to answer with short sentences such as "um", "we will summarize" and so on, for him, he led the team to play well this season, but lost twice, especially this time, the Lakers only had 9 people, and it was in the Staples Center, and he made bold statements before the game, this press conference was like a trial for him.

However, Harden, in addition to expressing regret over the team's loss, still highly praised the Lakers' performance.

"We knew before the game that we were against nine guys tonight, but they exceeded our expectations, and I have to admit that Don played the most classic game of his career, and I have to admit that every player on the Lakers team is respectable, they deserve this win, and I won't use Rudy's absence as an excuse, and I'm looking forward to our next meeting and we'll try to win the next game."

Harden's praise for Don Shuai is obvious, and it's actually hard to turn a blind eye when someone on your opponent scores 60 points on super-high shooting percentage.

However, Tang Shuai was quite low-key at the press conference next door.

Scoring 60 points, setting a new career record and helping the team win is welcome, but he wasn't fit enough to play like that every night, and at the press conference, he humbly attributed the victory to the performance of his teammates, praising them as the strongest teammates on the planet.

This description made the teammates in the locker room extremely moved after hearing it, and for the media, they have become accustomed to Tang Shuai's low-key, but they can't help but be excited, you get twenty or thirty points, it's normal to be low-key, but if you score 60 points and be low-key, it really shows that he is a rare "humble gentleman" in the league.

But in fact, Tang Shuai wants to be low-key, and the media will not let him be really low-key.

In the vast majority of basketball-related pages around the world, Tang Shuai is almost in the newspaper.

Not only China, the United States, but also South Korea, Japan, Germany, the United Kingdom and other countries, almost everyone who comes into contact with sports wakes up early in the morning and they see a new superstar that has risen.

The day after the competition, Tang Shuai and his eight strong teammates finally met their new teammates.

While the players were changing their shoes in the locker room to prepare for practice, Shaw entered the locker room with his new players.

After playing in the league for more than a year, Tang Shuai still has an impression of these players, except for Grant who didn't pay much attention to them, several other people still have some basic understanding.

Mozgov, a 2.16-meter Russian power center, started his career with the Nuggets, and then played an excellent season with the Cavaliers, just in time for the offseason salary cap skyrocketing, signed a big contract with the Mavericks, and this time traded to the Lakers, the main reason is that Gasol is still more than a month away from returning from injury.

Lul Deng, the biggest gain of the team at this trade deadline, a small forward who mainly plays the No. 3 position, can also swing to the No. 4 position, and can toughen James at his peak, although he is now old, he has experience and strength, and compared with Barnes, he is definitely an upgraded version of the instant combat force.

Maurice Harkless, similar to Ruel Deng, is a swingman at the third and fourth positions, can shoot threes, has good defensive ability, and is a good bench.

Doug McDermott, a two-meter-and-three-meter swingman who plays small forward and can also swing to point guard, is a bit similar to Batum's position and is a very good three-point shooter.

Jerry Grant, a 1.93-meter two-way guard and a rookie from the Knicks, was traded to the Bulls in the Rose trade last season, and his ability is not particularly good, but he can play the third vacancy of a team.

There are a total of 5 newcomers, in general, none of them are too famous, but they are all relatively practical players, which may not be the best, but compared to Barnes, who was traded, this is undoubtedly a better choice, after all, it is enough to build the core of the team, with Tang Shuai and Noll inside and outside.

Shaw introduced the players again and left the dressing room.

"Ruhr." As soon as Shaw left, Batum directly got up and said hello to Deng, they have both played in the league for eight or nine seasons, and it is very normal for them to know each other.

Tang Shuai also stood up at this time, guiding the newcomers to find their wardrobes, Gasol was still lying in the hospital, and he, the boss of the team, also had to take on the role of the boss of the locker room.

"Jeremy, that's Corey's wardrobe before, see if there's anything left behind that guy?" Tang Shuai turned back to Grant and said.

Grant opened the wardrobe full of curiosity, and the next second.

"Ahh

A scream rang out.

The teammates laughed, and the newcomers turned their heads to look and laughed too.

Inside was a grimace with a spring, and as soon as the wardrobe came, the face rushed to open the wardrobe.

This kind of thing, other people look funny, but it is not a small stimulation for those who open it.

Tang Shuai also made a little joke with Grant.

A little surprised, after seeing that it was just a toy, Grant's pale face softened a lot, turned around and handed it to Tang Shuai with a smile.

As a student in the same grade as Tang Shuai, he had already suffered a trick when he was on the Knicks, so he didn't have such a big reaction.

Tang Shuai took the toy and patted him on the shoulder.

Really speaking, the two of them are quite close in order, one is 15 and the other is 19, although the status in the league is very different now, but just like the same graduates, that delicate relationship is still very beneficial.

The rest of the players like Halix, Mozgov, and Mike Dermott quickly got together with the players, and these new players still seemed excited to join the Purple and Gold.
