According to the schedule, after a few days of celebration in Beijing, he will then rush to the Lakers to report, and although he does not have to participate in summer league like the rookie, the new team means a new environment, a new journey, and there are many things to deal with for him.

When I got off the plane and walked out of the boarding gate, I saw that the airport was full of fans, and I don't know how much more than the last time I returned home.

"Chinese men's basketball team, I love you!" Before I could walk over, I heard a female fan shouting there.

Although there are not as many female fans of female basketball as celebrities, there are a lot of them, and after the Chinese men's basketball team has created unprecedented results, they finally came out of the room and ran to the scene to greet the "heroes".

Gong Luming did not prevent the team members from meeting with fans, and even he himself took photos with many fans.

This is a big difference between this national team and the past, as Tang Shuai said, fans are the foundation of sports, and Gong Luming seems to be well aware of this.

After the meeting with the fans, the players of the men's basketball team followed them to the training base in Beijing, where the leaders of the basketball association were still waiting to "condole" them.

Although the Basketball Association has always acted as a not very positive image in the development of the men's basketball team, the domestic system is complex, and the best record in history is nothing more than a formality, Tang Shuai didn't care too much, after all, he insisted on Gong Luming as the commander, and the Basketball Association finally agreed.

Leaders praised, attended the commendation meeting, announced the distribution of bonuses, held a celebration party, Gong Luming's private gathering, this pile of things also took nearly a week, creating this kind of unprecedented history, the praise is naturally indispensable, and Tang Shuai has shared nearly one million in the bonus.

But he didn't care much about this little money, and when he received the bonus, he remembered what Zhao Haoyan said about dividing the house, but team projects can't be compared with individual projects after all, and these are already unprecedented.

After a series of activities, Tang Shuai and Duffy got on the plane to the United States again.

According to the agreement reached between Duffy and Prokopio, from mid-September to October, he will need to follow the well-known trainer for half a month, the main purpose is to improve his physical reserves.

As the skill packs obtained are increasing day by day, his physical consumption is also rising, strength does not represent physical fitness, and there is never such a skill package as physical fitness in the packaging system, so he can only train more on his own.

However, before that, he had half a month off, and for athletes, especially players like him who played the playoffs and then went to the Olympics, a proper rest is quite necessary.

I haven't seen Su Mei for a long time, and after the two of them met, they naturally had a lingering feeling.

Waiting to see the person in his arms lying quietly on his chest, Tang Shuai definitely took Su Mei to the United States for a ride.

There are three main types of transportation in the United States, among which the main purpose of trains is sightseeing.

In a week, Tang Shuai completely broke off contact with the NBA, and took Su Mei to visit several famous American countries, Hollywood, the White House, Wall Street, the United Nations Building, the Statue of Liberty, St. Patrick's Cathedral, and Las Vegas.

After touring this lap, Tang Shuai could clearly feel that Su Mei would smile a lot more than usual.

In fact, women need men to accompany them, and travel is the best way to enhance relationships.

After the tour, Tang Shuai followed him to the Staples Center, where he was about to welcome Prokopio's training plan specially for him.

He and Duffy arrived at the arena a little earlier, but Procopio hadn't arrived yet, and someone had come looking for him first.

"Hey, Don." Kupchak walked into the training hall in the dust, and it looked like he had just arrived.

Seeing that it was Kupchak, Tang Shuai's eyes were full of surprise.

"Two days ago, Mickey had a phone call with me and asked about your itinerary, but you were traveling at the time, so I didn't call you." Duffy leaned over and said.

It turned out that this was the case, knowing the reason why Kupchak would appear here, but the surprise in his eyes did not fade much, Kupchak, as the general manager of the team, personally ran to the stadium to find him, which shows that he really values him.

"Manager Mitch, it's a pleasure to meet you." Tang Shuai walked up with a smile, and the two people who had been behind for nearly forty years completed the first handshake.

"I was supposed to look for you last night, but I heard that you are traveling and need to rest when you come back, so I didn't bother you." Kupchak said with a smile.

After listening to this paragraph, Tang Shuai was even more moved in his heart, although a large part of Kupchak's attitude was due to his outstanding performance, but it is really very rare for the general manager to do this job, no wonder Kobe Bryant can stay loyal to the Lakers until retirement.

"I was going to visit you again at the start of the season." Tang Shuai opened his mouth to explain.

"Haha, it's okay, it's all the same, I know you have to train today, and I won't bother you too much time, when you finish training in the evening, let's have a meal together and discuss the future of the Lakers, the next ten years, or even twenty years will be yours, what kind of teammates to choose, I believe you must have the right to speak." Kupchak said and patted Tang Shuai on the shoulder.

The right to speak in the future?

After listening to Kupchak's words, Tang Shuai immediately understood what this meant, although the door to the free market had been opened as early as July, and the whereabouts of most of the star players had been settled, many role players were still hesitant, especially those with strong veterans, and in fact, since the start of the new season, the trade has also begun, and it will take time to prepare for a big deal.

To sum it simply, the meaning of Kupchak's words is to prepare Tang Shuai to participate in the future construction of the team, which is an unprecedented importance for a sophomore player who has just been traded to the team.

"Of course, I'm going to bring Luke (referring to Wharton), Nolens (referring to Noll), and Harrison (referring to Barnes) all over, and then we can get to know each other and discuss it together." Seeing that Tang Shuai didn't speak, Kupchak added.

"Well, yes." Tang Shuai nodded, after the big trade at the draft, the current Lakers have been refreshed, as the core of the team's structure, they need to clarify a common language with each other.

It's a completely different situation from his rookie season, when he was a rookie and existed as a role player, but now he's one of the core of the team.

"Okay, then you train first, and when the time comes, I'll let the driver wait for you outside." Kupchak smiled at Tang Shuai and Duffy, and then walked towards his office with his assistant.

"Robin, help me inform Luke that they're waiting for me at the Los Angeles Castle Cafe at 8 p.m." When he walked into the passage, Kupchak said directly to his assistant without looking back. (To be continued.) )
