At the last short timeout, the Kings' three-point strategy was successful, but in the end the ball was in the hands of Cousins, who had hit four three-pointers before, but he was an interior after all, and the three-pointer at the critical moment finally popped out of the frame.

The Kings struggled to foul a few more fouls at the end, and Paul hit the free throw safely.

The Kings didn't have a timeout, and Collison made a last-minute three-pointer to call the end of the game.

111:104, with Tang Shuai's three-pointer at a critical moment, the Clippers won the first victory of the opening game without danger.

The scene was full of streamers, and the home crowd did not leave the stadium immediately after the home team's victory, but enjoyed the joy after the victory at home.

The Clippers took to the court for a final farewell ceremony with the Kings players, and the players lined up to shake hands and hug the opposing players.

"Come on, you have a lot of potential."

When Tang Shuai hugged Rondo, the All-Star point guard said affirmatively to him.

"The same goes for you."

Tang Shuai smiled and hugged Rondo, and then continued to walk forward.

After all the pre-season games, Tang Shuai finally ushered in a very good start in the opening game.

played 20 minutes on the court, 5 of 9 shots, including 4 of 4 three-pointers, plus 2 free throws, contributed 16 points, 4 assists and 1 steal in the whole game, without a single turnover, and scored the most points on the bench.

In addition to Tang Shuai, the Big Three of the Clippers also played well, Paul's 18 points, 5 points and 11 assists are still stable, Jordan Jr.'s 8 points, 12 rebounds and 4 blocks also reflect his deterrence on the defensive end, and the MVP of this game is Griffin, who played a team-high 38 minutes and contributed a team-high 38 points, and also grabbed 8 rebounds, 20 two-pointers of 14, 70% of the shooting rate, after an offseason of training, his shooting skills are becoming more and more accurate.

On the Kings' side, the best performance was their interior core Cousins, who shot 13-of-21 from the field, and even made 4 three-pointers, slashing a big double-double of 32 points and 13 rebounds, and of course, there were 8 turnovers in the ointment.

Aside from Cousins, only Guy in the starter and Collison on the bench scored 10+ points, and everyone else scored in single digits.

However, the performance of the Kings in this game is also much better than last season, especially under the leadership of Rondo, the overall defensive intensity has obviously improved, although they lost the game, but for them, the future is worth looking forward to.

In the locker room after the game, the players were humming a little song and taking a shower there, and the locker room was noisy, all of them were venting their joy after the victory.

Tang Shuai came out of the shower, and Stephenson was already shouting at him from a distance: "Tang, there is a reporter waiting to interview you, it's a beauty!" ”

Tang Shuai rubbed his hair with a towel and walked over with a smile.

In preseason, reporters don't show up in the players' locker room, but in the regular season, especially for the home team, and after a win, it's natural that a bunch of reporters gather outside the door.

Tang Shuai walked outside, and then found a bunch of people interviewing Griffin, and in that scene, Griffin was so big that he could only see a few handfuls of hair on the top of his head.

Griffin scored 38 points this time, and naturally he was the focus of reporters' attention.

"Don."

Just when Tang Shuai turned around and was about to see which reporter was looking for him, he looked up and saw the familiar costume.

"Christina!" Tang Shuai saw that the person looking for him turned out to be Christina, who interviewed him in the preseason, and walked over with a smile.

"Don, congratulations, you had such a great performance in the first game." After Christina walked over, she smiled and stretched out her hand to Tang Shuai.

"Thank you." Tang Shuai smiled and shook Christina's hand, and then found a place to sit down.

As Christina sat down, she asked, "Is it any different from the preseason to the NBA regular season for the first time?" ”

After speaking, he handed the recorder in his hand to Tang Shuai, and the interview officially began.

"Well, more people, more pressure and, of course, more morale, we all want to win the opener, so it's great to have a good start." Tang Shuai said with a smile.

……

"Do you have any plans for tonight, the team won, do you want to go to the pub or somewhere else to celebrate?" After asking a few routine questions, Christina began to gossip about some gossip news, which was very helpful for the TV station to attract viewers.

"Don, take you to a nightclub at night, that girl is very punctual!" At this moment, Stephenson also came out of the shower, he seemed to be very unscrupulous, only wrapped in a bath towel, and shouted at where Tang Shuai was sitting.

Tang Shuai and Christina turned their heads unconsciously, and when they saw that their entire upper body was exposed, Christina turned her head with a slightly red face.

"Don't go! Also, Lance, you can wear a little bit and come out, there are still ladies here! Tang Shuai reminded.

"Oh, ladies, attention, I'm going to change my clothes! Dodge it! Stephenson was even more excited when he heard this, walked to his closet, and then directly untied the bath towel.

The shout quickly caught the attention of all the female reporters in the locker room, and by the time they turned their heads to see Stephenson's slick ass, they all turned their heads red-faced.

Tang Shuai looked at Stephenson speechlessly, Stephenson was really no one in comparison.

After Stephenson changed his clothes, Tang Shuai said to Christina: "Okay, let's continue." ”

Christina turned her head crimson, and then continued to ask.

"Don, the last question, the last offense, the shooting selection was arranged like this by the coach when the tactics were arranged?"

"Well, we were on the defensive end at the time, and the coach didn't interfere too much with the offensive tactics because we had CP3 and he was able to adjust according to the advantage on the field, and as for Paul's pass at the end, it was his judgment, and I am glad that he didn't live up to his pass in the end."

"It's okay if you can't make it, but I know you kid can do it." Pierce had already changed his clothes at this time and was about to leave, and when he heard what Tang Shuai said, he said with a smile.

Tang Shuai looked at Pierce and smiled gratefully.

In the locker room of each team there is a locker room leader, the locker room leader is different from the team leader, the team leader only needs to perform well on the field, and the locker room leader is more about a certain number of years of service and honor, usually do not speak, but as long as he speaks, it is a promise, and others are 100% convinced.

Pierce only joined the Clippers this season, but it was a natural fit to become a locker room leader.

At this time, Pierce took the initiative to praise Tang Shuai in the locker room, which is also a different honor.
