Chapter 424: Bad News (2/2)
"Yes, definitely, I actually went to the Toyota Center to play before the playoffs, you should know that we will play there two games in the regular season, and when you see those familiar buildings outside the arena, and even the Rocket Bear who has been standing on the sidelines, those memories that I have seen before will come back uncontrollably." Tang Shuai said with empathy.
"Will this affect your performance?" Liu Yuxi asked.
"It doesn't." Tang Shuai shook his head, "This kind of relationship is separate from the game, if you say that Yao Ming is still in the Rocket team, then I will definitely have some, but now don't talk about Yao Ming, even Yao Ming's teammates are not there, so there is no impact." ”
"Also, touching the scenery is because you can see the scenery." Liu Yuxi said approvingly.
Tang Shuai smiled and nodded.
"Tell us about your life in the United States, if you are far away from home, and you can't see your family for half a year or even a year, will you feel like you miss your relatives every festive season?" Liu Yuxi continued her questioning.
"There will definitely be some of this, just like we have a bottle of water in the middle of us now, but I am separated from my home by a Pacific Ocean, far, far away, so far that what we see is not even the same moon......" Tang Shuai said in a slightly choked tone, when he was in college before, he was only a few hundred kilometers away from home, but now that he is so far away, he also experienced the feeling of being a wanderer.
"Of course, none of this is a problem." He said something sincere, but soon realized that it was a live broadcast, and said, "Technology is so advanced now. The plane can be arrived without a day, and I asked my mother to come to the United States not long ago. ”
"Your mother was in the United States?" Liu Yuxi asked in some surprise. Obviously, this is a very exciting news material for her.
"Well, I came to see a game of mine." Tang Shuai nodded. There is no need to hide such a thing.
"That's right, now that the transportation is convenient, why didn't you let your mother stay?" Liu Yuxi asked curiously.
"She's a little uncomfortable with life here, and you know what their generation thinks." Tang Shuai didn't say much, these were not things he was too willing to share.
Liu Yuxi is still very good at observing words and feelings, and seeing that Tang Shuai didn't mean much, he didn't delve into it, and the time for the interview was about the same at this time. She then said: "Last question, tomorrow you will fly to Houston with the team to play Game 6, if you win, you will directly advance to the Western Conference semifinals, and if you lose, you will have a tiebreaker, do you have any expectations for this game?" ”
Tang Shuai paused for a moment, but did not answer immediately, and after a while, he said with a smile: "Do you want me to take a bite of poisoned milk yourself?" ”
Liu Yuxi was stunned for a moment, and then laughed at Tang Shuai's cold humor.
'I can't talk about expectations, but I'll do my best to help the team win. It's the home of the Rockets, but I believe that if we can win on the road, it will be more helpful for the rest of the game, and you know that. Paul's injury means a lot to us and we all have a belief now that winning games isn't just about the team. It's more to fulfill Paul's dream of reaching the Western Conference Finals. Tang Shuai said with a firm gaze.
"I'm sure you'll be able to do it, thank you for your time." Liu Yuxi said with a smile.
"Thank you." Tang Shuai said with a smile.
Up here. This time, the exclusive interview with Tencent Sports is over, and it will not be long. But it makes a lot of sense.
"Tang Shuai, you are really different." When the camera or something was turned off, Liu Yuxi said directly with appreciation.
"You're different too." Tang Shuai smiled and said, Liu Yuxi's direct personality is completely different from other women, just like what he said just now, ordinary women may not say this.
Liu Yuxi blushed a little at what Tang Shuai said, stretched out his hand and said, "I still want to thank you for your willingness to accept our interview, especially at this critical moment." ”
"No thanks." Tang Shuai shook Liu Yuxi's hand with a smile, and then said, "Then I'll go back to training first." ”
Liu Yuxi nodded, looking thoughtfully at the direction in which Tang Shuai disappeared.
The training session in the morning was over, the team's preparation was almost over, and the players were in a very good mood.
"Tang, isn't that good news reporter who came to interview you today?" As soon as the training was over, Smith teased.
"Yes, she is known as the most beautiful basketball commentator in our country, and the key is that her personality is also good." Tang Shuai nodded, Liu Yuxi gave him a good impression.
"Then you didn't want to talk deeper?" Smith said with a wicked grin.
"In-depth communication?" Tang Shuai was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a smile, "Josh, I don't want to be a seeder." ”
"Haha, what are you afraid of, it's a big deal to have a few more children to raise, it's nothing." Smith laughed.
Tang Shuai shook his head and didn't speak, and then went into the locker room.
He is still very principled when it comes to women, and if a man thinks with his lower body, he is doomed to fail.
Entering the locker room, the players were chatting with each other, and it was clear that after winning yesterday's game, the players' mentality was much more optimistic than before.
Tang Shuai originally wanted to talk to Griffin, but when he found that the other person was not there, he remembered that he hadn't seen him during training.
Although I was puzzled, I didn't think much about it, and I put on a bath towel and went into the shower.
When he came out of the shower, he glanced at Griffin and couldn't help but ask Smith, "Josh, did you see Blake today?" ”
"Blake?" A trace of doubt flashed in Smith's eyes, he glanced at the locker room, shook his head and said, "It's strange, it seems that he was no longer there during the previous training." ”
"You didn't see it either?" Tang Shuai turned his head to look at Brewer, "Corey, have you seen Blake?" ”
"Blake? He didn't come today, I don't know if something is wrong. Brewer shook his head and said.
"Something? It's impossible, it's going to be the sixth game tomorrow, how could he not come at such an important time. Tang Shuai said and shook his head.
"Then I don't know, maybe a massage in the next room?" Ismael Smith on the side said suddenly.
"Next door? I'll take a look. Tang Shuai thought that Griffin's injury was not complete, and there was indeed such a possibility, but after thinking about it, the massage would not take so long, so he got up and walked out.
As soon as he walked to the door, he saw Cassel and Billups coming out of the coach's office with solemn expressions, and he thought about it and didn't go to the next door again, but stood directly at the door.
The direction in which Cassel and Billups came out was the direction of the team's dressing room.
When they were about to get closer, Tang Shuai followed and asked, "Coach, I haven't seen Blake in the morning, do you know where he went?" ”
Both of them glanced at Tang Shuai, but neither of them answered.
The abnormal reaction of the two people made Tang Shuai's doubts even thicker, and he just wanted to ask, but Cassel followed and said, "Go back to the locker room first, I have news to announce." ”
Tang Shuai was stunned for a moment, nodded and turned around and went back to the locker room, for some reason, he had a faint premonition in his heart.
"Hey, guys, come here, I have news." As soon as Cassel entered the locker room, he spoke.
Kassel's voice quickly caught the attention of all the players.
"Coach, are you going to treat us to something before the game?" Smith said jokingly.
Smith's words caused a burst of laughter from the rest of the team, and everyone was in a very good mood to win the game.
"That's not good news." Cassel wasn't angry at Smith's words, but his expression became a little frustrated.
Hearing what Cassel said, and seeing his expression again, the smiles of the team members slowly put away.
"This is not good news, and I hope everyone is mentally prepared before this news is announced." Cassel's words made the players hang their hearts in the air.
"Blake won't be able to play in the next game." Kassel's next words made the hearts of the players feel cold.
"What?!" Smith exclaimed unconsciously.
"Not only the next game, but he won't be able to participate in the rest of the game." Cassel's next words were like a bolt from the blue, completely stunned the players.
Tang Shuai was also dumbfounded, although there was a faint guess in his heart, but when Kassel announced the news, he was still a little incredulous.
Paul is injured, Griffin is now out for another season, and this game is ...... How else to fight?
"Blake's knee was already in a serious condition, and it was best to have surgery in the regular season, but he chose conservative treatment in order to play, he is a fighter, he has been persevering, but sometimes persistence alone can't overcome injuries, and this time he can't play again." Billups added at this time.
"It's my fault." Cassel said reproachfully.
At this time, the players did not go to comfort Kassel, the news was too big, and the joy of winning was completely washed away.
In fact, the moment Griffin chose conservative treatment, it was like planting a time dynamite for himself, and what happened now was sudden, but it was expected.
"Later in the day, the team will announce the news to the outside world, and even if Blake can't play, I hope you can keep your confidence and we still have a chance." After Cassel finished speaking, he didn't seem to want to say anything more, and then turned around and walked out of the locker room.
His mood is obviously extremely bad, Paul's injury has made him blame himself enough, and now Griffin can't play again, and the two cores are reimbursed, which is really a bit beyond his psychological tolerance for him to lead the team to the playoffs for the first time.
"Don, you come out." Billups didn't go out with Cassel immediately, but suddenly called out to Tang Shuai.
Tang Shuai was still stunned, and when he heard Billups calling himself, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, but seeing that Billups had already walked out, he got up and followed.
