Chapter 342: The Comeback Challenge (1/3)
"You kid......" Tang Shuai pointed at Duffy speechlessly, Duffy had already turned around and went out, he turned his head to Zhu Shan with some embarrassment and said, "He's like this, don't you care." ”
"Well, it's okay, is he the one you share the house with?" Zhu Shan asked curiously.
"No, he's my agent." Afraid that Zhu Shan wouldn't understand, Tang Shuai then explained, "It's the person who helped me sign the contract and deal with some miscellaneous things." ”
"Oh, it's the babysitter." Zhu Shan said with a smile.
"Uh...... Sort of. Tang Shuai looked embarrassed, he didn't know what Duffy would think when he heard this analogy, he motioned for Zhu Shan to sit down, took a sip of coffee, and then asked, "Why did you come to the United States?" ”
"I came to the U.S. to go to school." A smile appeared on Zhu Shan's flushed face.
"Going to school?" Tang Shuai looked at her in surprise, "You went to the United States to study?" What school? ”
"Hmm." Zhu Shan nodded and said with a smile, "I was admitted to the University of California, Riverside. ”
"Riverside? So powerful! Tang Shuai gave Zhu Shan a thumbs up, the University of California has many branches, and the Riverside campus is the most well-known one, and it is not easy to get in.
"It's not as good as you, you don't know how popular you are now, as long as there is a game for you, a bunch of people skip class, and when I go to the library and pass by the basketball court, I see someone playing in your uniform every time." Zhu Shan said with a slightly red face.
"Really? Haha...... "Hearing Zhu Shan talk about the school, and he has such a great influence in the school, Tang Shuai couldn't help but feel refreshed, and then said. "By the way, what major did you take? Can't you still learn English, right? ”
"It's not. It's biomedical. ”
"Biomedicine? Dizzy, are you starting from scratch completely? Tang Shuai looked at Zhu Shan in surprise. But how did you think of studying biomedicine, which is not as far as what we are learning? And I haven't heard you're interested in this before, have you? “
"I ......" Zhu Shan suddenly raised her head and looked at Tang Shuai with some excitement, she wanted to say that it was because of Tang Shuai that she decided to study abroad, she wanted to say that she didn't know anything about biomedicine a few months ago, and she wanted to say that she applied for this school because the Riverside branch was close to Los Angeles, but she looked at Tang Shuai in a daze, but she couldn't say anything.
Tang Shuai felt Zhu Shan's strange gaze, and he didn't know what was happening. Coughed twice in embarrassment.
Zhu Shan retracted her gaze, barely squeezed out a smile and said, "I just had an opportunity, so I reported this." ”
"If that's the case, then you must have paid a lot." Tang Shuai praised from the bottom of his heart, "But it's better for you to go to the Riverside campus, which is close to Los Angeles, and you can get together often if you have time." ”
"Hmm!" When Zhu Shan heard what Tang Shuai said, she nodded vigorously, and her happy look seemed to have won some kind of grand prize.
"That's right. How do you know where I live? Tang Shuai looked at Zhu Shan suspiciously.
"I added a fan community, and someone broke the news that you live in this area, so I came to find it, but I didn't expect to meet you out." Zhu Shan said with a slightly red face.
"That's ...... Then this is your first time in Los Angeles. Let's go, I'll take you out for a walk. Tang Shuai said and stood up, he was going to go out to play today. I used to wonder if it was Lawrence, but now Zhu Shan is here. Just save yourself from this trouble.
"Hmm." Zhu Shan stood up with joy on her face.
Although I haven't seen her for more than half a year, Zhu Shan hasn't changed at all. is still very shy, but for Tang Shuai, her attention is much higher than before, and she is like an inseparable person when she walks into the street.
Tang Shuai looked helpless, only thinking that she was timid in a foreign land.
However, she is very obedient, even if it is just shopping, as long as Tang Shuai says something, she will not refuse, and no matter what she does, she will ask Tang Shuai's opinion first, which makes Tang Shuai feel a sense of comfort that she has never felt before.
Among the several women around Tang Shuai, Rana Dave is very active, Su Mei is very controlling, Lawrence is very manly, and the only gentle Anna is because her father's affairs have not been seen for a long time, and it is far less cordial than Zhu Shan, a Chinese.
Although it was just shopping between friends, Tang Shuai experienced the initiative when getting along with women for the first time.
This feeling lasted for a long time, and even after sending Zhu Shan away, he still had a trace of aftertaste when he lay on the bed.
Maybe it's because Su Mei has always regarded him as a boy, and when he experienced what it was like to be a man, he was a little infatuated.
When he got up the next day, Tang Shuai went to the Staples Center to train with a happy look and prepare for his first game after his comeback.
Tang Shuai has been a good thing one after another in the past two days, he overturned Su Mei, became an All-Star starter, signed a sneaker contract, and experienced what it was like to be a man.
However, in contrast to his mood is the situation of the Clippers, after Griffin's absence, the team seems to be stretched thin in the lineup.
Originally, there were not many inside lines in the team, and Smith was alone in the main rotation, and Griffin was injured, if Smith was put in the starting lineup, not to mention whether Smith's habit of loving shots could be changed, the team's interior substitute was only Aldridge, who usually did not play much playing time, and there would definitely be big problems in the rotation.
And Tang Shuai has just ushered in a comeback, his state is unknown, and the next opponent is Thunder, and there is already a feeling of being fierce and unlucky before the game starts.
Cassel was grim in training, spending more time on lineup observation, starting with Smith, then Mobamotte, and finally even putting veteran Pierce in the starting line-up.
It wasn't until the end of practice that Cassel confirmed the starting lineup for the evening against the Thunder, and Pierce would start, and it seemed that Cassel was ready to play a small lineup.
This is not the first time the Clippers have played against the Thunder, but the last time they played back was in December last year, when Tang Shuai had just returned from the Development League and performed well off the bench, but at that time, the Clippers were shrouded in trade rumors, and the team finally lost miserably, and Tang Shuai only finished up with 6 points and 2 assists under Westtruck's defense.
While not in trade rumors this time, Griffin's absence made this game even more difficult than the last one.
In the pre-game warm-up, Kassel found Tang Shuai alone, the intention is naturally needless to say, in the absence of Griffin, the team's offensive firepower is greatly reduced, although Pierce starts, but after all, he is old and his contribution must be limited, in this case, Tang Shuai needs to take on more offensive responsibilities.
This point, no need for Kassel to say, Tang Shuai also knows it in his heart, but Kassel reminded him that Donovan, the coach of the Thunder team, must have expected this, and the defensive intensity he will encounter must also be very large, so he must be mentally prepared in advance.
