Chapter 188: Two Realms (First Update!) )
Seeing the Clippers' fiasco, Tang Shuai's mood was a little complicated, after he was devolved, the Clippers' loss should be a good thing for him, after all, everything has a contrast, and when it fails, people will always think of the person who lost.
But from another point of view, after staying with the Clippers for so long, he and Paul, Griffin, Stephenson, and Smith have long regarded each other as friends, and the team has lost one after another, and I believe they will definitely not be in a good mood.
He shook his head vigorously, no longer allowing himself to think about these things.
At that moment, there was a sound of the door opening outside, and he turned his head to see that it was Duffy back.
"How's the deal going, Jaime?" Tang Shuai asked instinctively.
"There are a lot of teams interested in you, but the Clippers have a lot of appetite here, and there is no progress for the time being." Duffy sat down on the sofa as he spoke, and lay straight back, and he could see that he was tired enough.
As soon as he leaned down, he suddenly remembered something, then looked up and said, "Oh yes, you went to meet the Lakers today?" ”
"That guy named Glenn has already contacted you?" Tang Shuai asked in some surprise, he didn't expect that Carraro to move so fast.
"Well, the sincerity of the Lakers is still very strong, after all, they are all in Los Angeles, how much strength you have, they still see it most clearly." Duffy said and leaned back again.
Tang Shuai nodded, and then suddenly said with some concern: "You say, should Reeves hold a grudge, because I quarreled with him, and he wants to kill me, right?" ”
His concerns are not unreasonable, and if Reeves doesn't play him and doesn't trade him, it will be a real problem to keep freezing him.
"You don't care about this, I'll leave these things to me." Duffy sat up as he spoke, and followed. "By the way, Sue contacted me, and she said she would come to UCLA next week to report."
"Su Mei is coming?" As soon as Tang Shuai heard this, the whole person became excited, originally Su Mei said that she would come to the United States in November, but in the blink of an eye, there was no news for more than half a month. It's finally coming.
"She must have been afraid of affecting you, so she called me." Duffy explained.
"I'll call her back." Tang Shuai picked up his mobile phone and walked out.
"Then I'll take a shower and go to bed first, it's really not a lot of tired......ness," Duffy said, getting up from the couch.
Tang Shuai went straight to the outside of the house and dialed Su Mei's mobile phone.
After chatting with Su Mei for a while, knowing that her procedures were almost complete, and the visa could be obtained by next week at the latest, he was in a good mood all of a sudden.
The NBDL schedule was much tighter than the NBA's, and after the first day of play, Tang and his teammates went to Oklahoma. There we played back-to-back games against Kansas 66.
The stadium of the 66 team and the Staples Center are naturally incomparable, and there are only more than 1,000 people who come to the stadium to watch the game, but these are not a problem for Tang Shuai.
The Kansas 66 team can only be considered an underdog even in the NBDL, and the strongest player on the fan team is McGary, who played in the summer league.
In the face of such an opponent, Tang Shuai still put all his best into the offense, and after the whole game, he shot 17 of 27 and 8 of 10 three-point shots. Slashed 49 points and 2 assists.
49 minutes away by Pierre. Jackson holds the NBDL scoring record with 58 points. It's only 9 points off.
Tang Shuai has 4 purple skill packs, and his strength has completely surpassed the others, coupled with his strong desire to score, such a result is reasonable.
Although the NBDL game is not much watched, it is a subsidiary league of the NBA after all, and the eyes of scouts of various teams are always watching this league.
Tang Shuai's 42 points in his debut have already attracted the attention of many scouts. By the time this back-to-back game scored 40+ in a row, it has made some teams ready to move, and they may not really understand how a player of such strength was sent to play in the NBDL by the Clippers.
Tang Shuai is in a good position in the NBDL. But by comparison, the Clippers' recent situation has been a bit of a dire situation.
After the Clippers lost to the Warriors, Reaves pointed the finger at his teammates after the game, believing that they focused too much on arguing with the referees, resulting in a lack of focus during the game.
Reeves' accusations did not have a positive effect, on the contrary, the morale of the team was frighteningly low, and the players trained with a dejected and unmotivated face.
Kassel didn't yell at the players as usual, knowing that the team's current situation was not just a problem with the players.
After watching it for a while, he finally couldn't help but leave the court and walked towards the coach's office, he felt that something had to be said clearly.
Reeves sat in the soft chair, frowning and guarding the phone in his hand. Wall called him, naturally related to the team's recent losing streak, and Wall turned to Ballmer's concern on the phone, and from his tone he could sense that the boss was now very upset.
Just then, there was a knock at the door, and the door was pushed open.
Cassel walked in with a gloomy face.
'Doug, I think we have to make a change, the players don't have the fighting spirit, and if it goes on like this, the team is really finished.' As soon as Cassel came in, he said quickly.
"Sam, the rotation, the player mixing, the chemistry, you don't think we're making a change?" Reeves said with some dissatisfaction, Cassel's tone of voice was completely different from usual, which made him a little vaguely worried.
"That's not what I'm talking about." Kassel said directly.
"And what do you mean?"
"Recall Don and give Lance and Josh plenty of playing time." Cassel said, looking directly at Reeves.
"Ridiculous!" Reeves slammed the table and said angrily, "Sam, do you think the team's loss is because of the lack of a rookie?" And those two guys who don't follow the tactics on the field? ”
"Doug, I was personally recruited by you into the team, you have been kind to me, and I will only say this to you now." Cassel said calmly.
Reevston paused, slowly retracted, and softened his tone: "I know this. ”
"When we won five in a row, we used a ten-man rotation, and although Don is a rookie, he can output consistently on the offensive end, he is in good shape, and the team's losing streak also started when Don didn't play, and these are things that really happened."
Reeves was silent for a while, then said: "Sam, the team's losing streak is related to the opponent, and the state of our players, not simply because of the lack of individuals. ”
"Yes, it's true that it's not a one-person relationship, but the team's losing streak is a fact? Shouldn't we try to get back to the lineup that we've been successful again? Recall Don and let him play, Doug, it's good for the coaching staff, it's good for the team. Casal continued.
Reeves sighed and didn't say anything.
He's been a coach in the NBA for so many years, and of course he knows why the team is in the way it is, but he still has lingering fears when Reaves Jr. was hysterical in front of him that night. (To be continued.) )
