Chapter 156: To Dallas
Anna eventually went upstairs, she didn't say anything more, and perhaps no one could really help her.
Tang Shuai looked at Anna's back, and unconsciously thought of the scene when she covered herself with a blanket on the first night she came to the villa, and she got up to cook for herself after a day of sleep, and her heart was very uncomfortable for a while.
But he is not a god after all, and some things are destined to be unchangeable.
Back in his room, he took out his phone and called his mother, who had been focusing all his energy on basketball since the start of the preseason, and inadvertently hadn't been in touch with her for a while.
The phone rang for a while and then it was picked up, and soon the mother's happy voice came from there.
Mother was busy cooking in the kitchen.
Today, the uncle from my hometown is coming, and my mother went to the vegetable market to buy a black fish, ready to make a good pickled cabbage fish.
"Mom, the fillet is ready."
The mother was talking happily when the sister shouted.
My sister lives close to her mother, so she should have been called by her mother to help.
Mother was busy, and there was nothing to do, so Tang Shuai hung up the phone after saying a few words.
Knowing that his mother was doing well, he breathed a sigh of relief, changed his clothes, lay down on the bed, and soon fell asleep.
Early the next morning, he felt the airport on time.
Because they were going to play the Mavericks in the evening, they had to fly to Dallas early.
On the plane, Tang Shuai saw Stephenson and Smith yawning non-stop, and it seemed that last night's routine had taken a lot of energy.
Reeves also saw their appearance at this time, and couldn't help frowning, the league and the team usually do not interfere in the private lives of players, but because the nightlife affects the state of the game the next day, the coach will obviously not be very happy.
Tang Shuai thought that he would remind Stephenson and them when he got off the plane later, and he was glad that he didn't follow, otherwise the opportunity he had worked so hard to win would probably be gone.
Not far from California to Texas, the plane was soon in downtown Dallas after more than three hours of flying and whistling down from the clouds.
Looking at the slightly familiar American Airlines Center Arena outside the window, Tang Shuai couldn't help but feel a feeling in his heart, a few months ago, he was here, together with He Tianju and other rookies, participated in the first trial of his career, and even he felt that he was very likely to be selected by the Mavericks, but he didn't expect to return here so soon.
After getting off the plane, the players dropped off their luggage at the hotel where they were staying, had lunch, and after a short rest, they were led to the stadium by Reeves.
Although it was back-to-back games, the season had just begun, and Reaves clearly didn't want to let his players off too soon.
Arriving at the Dallas training center, the Clippers players were quickly taken to the training center.
Here, I have to mention the Mavericks' locker room, when Tang Shuai came to tryout, perhaps to attract the interest of players to join to a certain extent, the team's locker room was used by them, and he was deeply shocked at that time.
The owner of the Mavericks, Cuban, although the total assets add up to one-tenth of Ballmer's, but he is an obsessive version of his love for basketball, and his investment in the team is definitely the most among all the owners of the NBA.
This is also one of the weights that the Mavericks have to attract players to join.
"Holy! This locker room! As soon as he entered the locker room, Brandon Dawson, who was also a rookie but had not tried out in Dallas, couldn't help but exclaim.
Even at the most prestigious Staples Center, the locker rooms can't be compared.
"Brandon, hurry up and change your clothes, the coach will be here later." Seeing that Dawson was in a daze, Tang Shuai reminded him.
It was only then that Dawson came to his senses, but with a grim look on his face, he walked to the closet and changed his clothes.
It wasn't long before Reeves and Kassel were in the locker room.
The team members sped up the change of clothes.
When the players were almost finished, Reeves said, "Every back-to-back game is tiring, but I hope you can adapt and adjust." ”
As he said this, he unconsciously looked at Stephenson and Smith, as well as Wilcox and the others.
When he got off the plane, Tang Shuai had already given them a vaccination, so at this moment Stephenson hurriedly said, "Got it, coach!" ”
Reeves retracted his gaze and continued: "Tonight's game, although there are a lot of people in Dallas who are absent, but I hope you can pay attention to the twelve points, Dallas has been a strong team for several years, and playing against them is destined to be a tough battle, understand?" ”
"Understood!" The team shouted.
Reeves nodded, turned to Cassel and said, "When they're ready, you can take them out," and left.
As soon as Reeves left, Cassel shouted, "Hurry up!" ”
As soon as the players heard this, they immediately sped up their movements, they didn't want to be taken care of by Kassel for a while, and when their shoes were put on, they quickly left the locker room one by one.
Because the evening is the game, the content of the training is not heavy, but more warm-up training to find the ball for the players.
The training lasted more than an hour before it was over.
The players went to the locker room to take a shower and then prepared to go back to the hotel to rest.
Tang Shuai changed his clothes at this time, and was walking out talking and laughing with Stephenson, when he looked up and saw someone he knew.
"Don!" Nahura walked over with a little excitement.
For Nahula, Tang Shuai is still grateful, of course, it was the scout who fell in love with him at a glance and gave him a chance to train camp, although looking back at that training camp now is not a great opportunity, but if it weren't for that opportunity, he might have to take more detours to enter the NBA.
"Hey, Eduardo, why are you here?" Tang Shuai smiled and walked over to shake hands.
Stephenson saw that Tang Shuai and Nahura knew each other, so he went outside to wait for him first.
"How's it going to be with the Clippers?" Nahura asked with concern as soon as she came up.
"It's okay, it's pretty good." Tang Shuai smiled and said, to say that before, he did have the idea of changing teams, but now that he has gradually stabilized, he also thinks it is really good to have powerful teammates like Griffin and Paul.
"Really?" Nahura glanced at Tang Shuai and said with some suspicion.
Tang Shuai smiled and nodded.
Nahura suddenly lowered his voice and said: "If you are really uncomfortable, you can call me at any time, I have a good relationship with Donnie, and the owner of Cuban also likes overseas players, if you really want to trade, it will definitely not be a problem." ”
Tang Shuai smiled a little embarrassedly, but he also knew that Nahura was for his good, so he didn't argue, but said, "If there really is such a day, I will call you." ”
When Nahura heard Tang Shuai say, he laughed a few times, and then said: "When the game is over in the evening, I will take you to meet someone, you will definitely want to meet this person." ”
"Who?" Tang Shuai said and looked at Nahula suspiciously, who he definitely wanted to see?
