After washing his face and brushing his teeth, and holding the bread he bought yesterday, Tang Shuai then got on a taxi to the Staples Center.

Los Angeles is the second largest city in the United States after New York, although the city planning is good, but traffic jams are inevitable, cars are stuck on the road, he is still eating bread, almost tossed and vomited.

It took more than 20 minutes to drive, and it took nearly an hour to arrive.

Fortunately, Duffy had long expected that there would be a traffic jam, so he went out half an hour early, and then stepped on the point to the arena.

Entering the stadium, it was already full of players, Tang Shuai swept around, and found that Eric Griffin was also here.

It's a coincidence, it couldn't be more coincidental.

It wasn't long before a black man with a whistle on his chest and a folder under his arm came out of the players' tunnel.

"It's him!"

When Tang Shuai saw the person who came out, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

When he was in China, Tang Shuai would watch NBA games when he had time, and he was relatively familiar with the head coaches of various teams, but he knew a lot less about assistant coaches, so he was still a little surprised to see the people who came out.

The person who came out looked very weird, his head was big and small, which was completely different from ordinary people, and his cheeks were slightly sunken inward, and he looked very weird.

I knew for a long time that the assistant coach of the Clippers would lead the summer league, but I didn't expect it to be the famous "alien" Sam Cassel.

Because of the weird head and the appearance of ET in science fiction movies, he got the nickname "alien" and accompanied him throughout his career.

It's really kind of scary.

Although it is not right to judge people by their appearance, but when he saw the real person in Kassel, Tang Shuai still felt a little hairy.

"I don't care who you are or what you've been in before, but I want to remind you that this is Summer League, it's your last chance to prove that you're capable of adapting to the NBA stage, and I'm not going to give you any chance to relax, and the fatigue will stay with you until the end of the league."

As soon as he came up, Cassel expressed his coaching style in a cold and ruthless way.

After Cassel finished speaking, he took down the folder under his armpit and said, "CJ Wilcox." ”

A white guard was drawn from the ranks.

Looks like it's a name.

After Cassel finished the order, Tang Shuai had a preliminary understanding of the group of players around him who were about to spend the entire summer league with him.

CJ Wilcox, a 2014 first-round pick and a graduate of the University of Washington, is a shooting guard.

Brandon Dawson, this year's No. 56 rookie, graduated from Michigan State University as a small forward, and the Clippers traded him from the Pelicans.

Royce White, best known as the "Poet" by his nickname, suffered from mild depression and was afraid to fly, but he was so talented that he eventually fell to playing in the Summer League.

Jordan Hamilton, a 2011 first-round rookie and now a free agent, is probably the strongest player on the Clippers' roster this time, having been in the rotation with the Nuggets.

Yannick Moreira is a free agent and a centre-forward from Angola.

Eric Griffin, this does not need to be introduced, there are a lot of grievances between him and Tang Shuai.

These players, plus Tang Shuai, if nothing else, should be the main force of the team in this summer league.

Speaking of which, this team is really mixed enough, there are last year's rookies, this year's rookies, there are undrafted rookies, there are NBDL players, and even players from Angola.

After the players got to know each other, Kassel said: "Now let's start running 30 laps around the field." ”

Tang Shuai smiled bitterly, it seems that there has been no good life in the past few days.

After a morning of training, the players were tired, and in only half a day, the players had privately called the already long and scary Kassel "the devil".

At the end of the morning training, the players dispersed to eat, and Tang Shuai was about to go back at this time, but Kassel stopped him alone.

Tang Shuai walked to Kassel's side suspiciously.

"I know you're a first-round rookie this year, and you don't have to do your best to stay on this team like any other player, but I want to remind you that if you don't have a good performance in Summer League, you won't have many opportunities in the preseason, CJ, you also saw that he was a first-round rookie last year, and I hope you recognize that."

What Cassel said was not polite at all, but Tang Shuai changed his opinion suddenly, his words were not rough, and Kassel's kind reminder was out of good intentions.

"Thank you, coach, I'll do my best." Tang Shuai said gratefully.

Cassel nodded, didn't say anything more, hugged his folder, turned and left.

Looking at Kassel's distant back, Tang Shuai breathed a sigh of relief, originally thought that after Duffy had a fight with Reeves in the office, Reeves would definitely instruct the assistant coach to suppress him, but now it seems that he should be overly worried.

There was no training scheduled in the afternoon, and Kassel pulled the players to the video conference room.

"In the afternoon, I will explain the tactics to you, I know that you have been more or less exposed to it before, but because of the uneven level of coaches, there will be more or less mistakes in this, and I hope you can get rid of everything."

Kassel's opening remarks were even more striking than in the morning, and the players looked at each other with obvious disapproval.

"No matter how strong a player is, it's not strong enough to beat a team, so before we start, I want you to understand that tactical positioning, that's something that you have to keep in mind throughout your career, you're not playing alone, it's a point in the whole body, and if you get it wrong, I can tell you for sure that you're going to be replaced right away."

Cassel spoke aggressively.

Tang Shuai is in the spirit all of a sudden, the existence of the packaging system can indeed help him improve his strength step by step, and his ball quotient is not low, but many basketball concepts are difficult to get in touch with before entering the professional league, which is also what the packaging system cannot give him.

"The first tactic I want to explain is blocking and dismantling, which is the most used in the tactical system, and the most effective tactic, blocking and dismantling is divided into two parts, and there are ball blocking and dismantling, and there are many kinds of blocking and dismantling with multiple people, I start with the simplest double ball blocking and dismantling......"

Kassel began to explain the tactics, and the players who listened to the lecture below frowned deeper than one another, for most of them, basketball was the main theme that accompanied them in the first half of their lives, learning, that was the most headache for them.

However, Tang Shuai listened very attentively, he was different from others, although he was a member of the school team, his studies never fell behind, and his ball quotient was not for nothing, it was all because he had a brain that was good at thinking constantly.
