Listening to Gong Luming say this, Tang Shuai finally understood the reason why Gong Luming didn't arrange him to play too much.

This time, the three opponents of the European training are all teams that lost the qualifiers, although they may not all be able to stand out in the subsequent qualifiers, but no one can say for sure about the game, if you play without reservation at this time, and wait for the Olympics to play, it is equivalent to giving the opponent information in advance.

After all, Tang Shuai did not have any previous game experience in the national team, and for other opponents, they basically have nothing to refer to, if they have to refer to it, they can only go to the NBA games to find it, but it is obvious that the NBA and international basketball games are different, and such references are not comprehensive.

To put it simply, Tang Shuai is now a secret weapon of the Chinese team, and this weapon is to be reserved for use in the real war, and it makes no sense to expose it too early.

After all, Gong Luming was almost sixty people, and after feeling that Tang Shuai had understood, he continued: "I will tell the others later, and now I am looking for you in the hope that you will not think nonsense, since I have promised you, I will definitely trust you unconditionally." ”

"Gong Dao, I have doubts, but I have never doubted, I believe in your ability." Tang Shuai followed.

"Well, I really didn't see the wrong person." Gong Luming stood up from his seat with some excitement.

The two exchanged for a while, and Tang Shuai then walked out of the office.

Although he trusted Gong Luming, he was still relieved to get Gong Luming's personal explanation.

Time passed, and after spending another two days at the North Warehouse Training Center, the 2016 NBA Draft was about to kick off on the other side of the ocean.

As the trading deadline approached, Zhou Qi showed some unconcealable nervousness, after all, this kind of thing happens once in a lifetime, and it is a very critical time like the student college entrance examination.

In fact, not to mention Zhou Qi, Tang Shuai didn't feel a little nervous, after all, even if he had passed the college entrance examination, he would pay a lot of attention to the college entrance examination in the first year of college.

However, the draft has not yet started, all kinds of rumors have been noisy, and there have even been several possible trades that have been exposed, although it is not as crazy as the trade deadline, but the draft day is also a time when the trade is active, just last year, the Clippers selected Tang Shuai's draft picks were all traded from the Hawks.

Although he is not in the United States, with Duffy by his side, he can still learn some relevant information in time.

On June 23, US time, the day ended training, Tang Shuai returned to the dormitory as usual, and he and Zhao Haoyan arranged to live in the same room.

"Brother Tang, do you want to wait a while to find a physical trainer for a massage, after practicing this day, the whole person really has back pain." Zhao Haoyan returned to the dormitory earlier, and after seeing Tang Shuai come back, he proposed.

A full body massage after strenuous exercise is indeed a very good enjoyment, and he was just about to agree, when a familiar shout came from outside the door: "Tang, are you in the room?" ”

Although Duffy was with him, the accommodation was arranged separately.

"Wait a minute, my agent will find me, I'll see what's going on." Tang Shuai stood up and shouted, "I'm inside, James." ”

After a while, Duffy walked in from outside the door, and after seeing Tang Shuai, he said, "It's a little urgent, let's go out and talk?" ”

"Hmm." Tang Shuai nodded, cast an apologetic look at Zhao Haoyan, and then went out with Duffy.

"What's wrong?" As soon as he walked out, Tang Shuai couldn't help but ask.

Although they are all in the training hall, Duffy usually doesn't look for him if he is fine, so he looks so anxious, it seems that there should be something.

"Let's go to the café outside." Duffy said, looking around.

Tang Shuai saw Duffy's cautious appearance and knew that it was not a trivial matter, so he nodded and walked out.

When he arrived at a nearby café, he couldn't help but ask, "What the hell is going on, why is it so mysterious?" ”

"Deals, it's a trade rumor about you." Duffy also said quickly after sitting down.

"About my transaction?" Tang Shuai was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile, "This is impossible, right?" I don't like to praise myself, but my performance in the playoffs is real, and the Clippers are willing to trade me? ”

"There is no trade yet, but from my news network, not all offers are unconsiderable, according to what I know so far, the Pelicans with the No. 6 pick, the Timberwolves with the No. 5 pick, and the Suns with the No. 4 pick are all discussing the feasibility of adding a team trade plan with the Clippers." Duffy said quickly.

"So many people are interested in me?" Tang Shuai smiled bitterly after hearing this, compared with last year's draft, he has now gone from an unknown rookie who can only rely on strategy to ensure that he is selected, to a hot fragrant bun.

"Well, Danny (referring to Angie) hasn't given up, and even I've heard that the 76ers have an idea, and in short, although the Clippers haven't explicitly put you on the shelf, the team is in a state of listening to offers." Duffy explained.

"Well, but this kind of thing is normal, listen to the offer, according to my understanding, it should be just a state of valuation, look at the value, if the Cavaliers take LeBron, the Thunder take Kevin, or the Warriors take Stephen, I don't think Dave has any reason to refuse, right?" Tang Shuai said self-deprecatingly.

Duffy was speechless for a while by Tang Shuai's words.

"Haha, I'm just kidding, no matter if I'm traded or not, I can accept any team I go to, if I want to say it's really reluctant, it's my teammates on the Clippers, Luke also said that he will take me to Cameroon to play after the Olympics." Tang Shuai said with some sadness.

People are emotional animals, and they will definitely have feelings after getting along for a long time, let alone playing ball, which is tired of being together almost every day.

"It may be that the previous Lance trade, coupled with playing for the Chinese team this time, has made Dave's prejudice against you more and more intense, but you don't have to worry too much, Dave is the general manager, but he is only the general manager, just like the trade deadline, and in the end Mr. Ballmer vetoed the plan, everything was in vain." Duffy followed.

"Well, I know, you can communicate with me about the transaction at any time, on the day of the draft, our team will do a celebration for Zhou Qi, and when the time comes, I will say to the palace director, let you also be with us, I don't want to be a fool, I was really traded, I am the last person to know." Tang Shuai said directly, although he didn't want to be traded, he still had to do his preparations first.

Duffy nodded, "Wrap it up on me." ”

"Okay, let's go back after the coffee, the national team is much stricter than the Clippers." Tang Shuai followed.

Duffy nodded, and while drinking coffee, he showed Tang Shuai some other trade rumors.

Several heavyweight players have expired their contracts this offseason, and players like Durant and Barnes are sure to be sought-after on the free market, while some teams that don't have enough salary space but want to get their hands obviously need a chance to free up salary space, and the draft is arguably their best chance.

It is precisely because of this that some transactions also look very likely, such as the Atlanta Hawks who have been trying to rebuild but are struggling with no draft picks, the Cavaliers who just lost the Finals, and they have a salary of more than 100 million, and they obviously have to make major changes this summer, and so on.

On June 25th, local time, on the morning of this day, in the training hall in Beicang, Gong Luming deliberately canceled the morning training, and the players all went to the designated room, which was a special room that Chai Wensheng applied for from the gymnasium.

is a little different from the situation where Tang Shuai and Tang Shuai were selected, Zhou Qi should have received a first-round commitment from an NBA team, and how much of the top pick he can be selected is the focus of attention.

Tang Shuai is still optimistic about Zhou Qi's draft, after all, in addition to being thin, Zhou Qi can be said to be infinitely suitable for the current NBA style of play, able to attack and defend, and he believes that NBA managers definitely have a reason to choose him.

And not long ago, Zhou Qi and the Xinjiang team also reached a buyout agreement, as long as an NBA team selects him in the first round, he will be released immediately, and the buyout fee is only 650,000 US dollars, which is definitely the conscience of the industry.

Not to mention the successful precedent of Tang Shuai, I believe that many teams' perceptions of Chinese players have changed again.

"I'm always excited, how is this the same as waiting for a child to be born in the ward." The draft hasn't started yet, and Allen Guo couldn't help but say.

"Alan, you haven't waited for the child to be born, how do you know what it's like to wait for a child." Sui Ran said with a smile in the back.

"I think it's probably about the same." At this moment, Zhou Peng, who had become a father, spoke.

"Look, Lao Sui, you are also the one who will become a father soon, this is to take you to feel the atmosphere in advance." Guo Allen immediately said with a smile.

Sui Ran heard what Guo Allen said, pointed at him with a smile, and didn't say anything.

It's a bit of a coincidence, when Zhou Qi announced his participation in the NBA draft in April, Sui Ran also announced the good news of his marriage, and also uploaded two private photos of himself and his wife, in which his wife has a big belly, obviously Sui Ran is also about to become a father.

Listening to Guo Allen's chat, Tang Shuai couldn't help but smile, and his nervous mood relaxed a lot.

Originally, this was just Zhou Qi's draft, but with the words that Duffy said to him, he suddenly returned to the feeling he had in last year's draft.

If Dave Wall really had a way to convince Ballmer to agree to a trade, then his trade would have been revealed very early, because with his performance in the Finals this year, without a certain amount of trade chips, let alone Ballmer, Wall would not have nodded in agreement.

"Ryan MacDonald can't sit still." Just as Tang Shuai was staring at the big screen, Duffy suddenly leaned over and said.
