After the bell rang, Anna finally stopped crying, looked up at the crowd and the scenery in the distance, and slowly recovered from her sadness.

"Let's go get Duffy out......"

Tang Shuai turned around and just spoke, but before he could continue, he was kissed by Anna.

There are some tears of saltiness, but more of a warmth and sweetness.

Tang Shuai was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Anna to kiss him suddenly.

And at this moment, Anna tiptoed and kissed more engaged.

Tang Shuai didn't respond, but he didn't retreat either, he knew that Anna was in a low mood at this time, and if he pushed her away, he didn't know how she would react.

Anna kissed more devotedly, and even made a coquettish sound. Gasp.

But soon, this enthusiasm subsided, because Tang Shuai did not respond from beginning to end.

Anna slowly retracted her feet, looked up at Tang Shuai stupidly, took a step back, and said, "I'm sorry, I ......"

"It's okay, I know you're in a bad mood, let's go get Jaime out, it's Christmas Eve." Tang Shuai continued.

Anna let out an "um", wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and walked to the living room.

Tang Shuai followed, reached out and wiped the mark on his lips, and followed in.

"Don, come and see, those friends of yours in China have sent you funny videos." When Duffy saw Tang Shuai and Anna coming back, he immediately changed the topic to ease the atmosphere.

"What friend?" Tang Shuai walked over curiously.

Duffy quickly clicked on the video.

"Hey, Old Tang, it's me, Qin Yujie, do you see, the location I'm in now is the entrance of the library of the Polytechnic University......"

"Don, I'm ......"

"Old Don ,......"

After Qin Yujie said this, two more people came in from the side, all of whom were Tang Shuai's roommates in college.

"Knowing this, you are in the United States for Christmas, on the occasion of the Chinese New Year, we return to our alma mater and bring you the blessings of the New Year with our lovely little girlfriend......"

After Qin Yujie finished speaking, the three of them bent down in unison, and then picked up a female dog from in front of them.

As soon as this scene came out, Tang Shuai and Anna burst into laughter.

These three people really know how to play.

A small video moved Tang Shuai for a while, especially Qin Yujie's spoof, which made the original sad atmosphere disappear.

After Christmas Eve, Tang Shuai and Duffy took Anna to experience Christmas in the United States.

A lot of Americans gathered on the street, and some people carried more than ten meters high "snowflakes" through the street, although most of the stores were closed, but it seemed more lively.

The three of them walked around the street, and Tang Shuai finally experienced the American festival culture in a real sense.

After a day of Christmas, early the next morning, Tang Shuai returned to the team for training.

On Dec. 26, the Lakers will host the Hornets for their first game since Christmas.

The Hornets' lineup has not changed much from last season, but Jeremy Lin, who made the playoffs last season, and Courtney Lee and Jefferson have left the team one after another, and the overall strength has declined significantly.

Because it's Christmas Day, the Staples Center is packed, and the crazy shouts of the fans make the home stadium look imposing.

Despite Kemba Walker's 40-point run, he couldn't help his team win, and the Hornets lost 101-109.

Tang Shuai played 38 minutes, and he made 12-of-20 shooting to once again contribute a big double-double of 24 points and 15 assists.

After winning the Hornets, the Lakers got on a special plane to Miami non-stop.

On December 27, the Lakers challenged the Heat back-to-back on the road.

The biggest winner this summer is undoubtedly the Warriors who won Durant, and the biggest loser is undoubtedly the Heat, who not only have nothing to gain in the free market, but also lost the absolute soul of the team, Wade, who only left 5 of the 15 players on the team last season, and finally formed a team by signing some undrafted and NBDL players.

Although Dragic and Whiteside are still on the team, such a lineup has completely lost its competitiveness even in the East, and the 7-15 record since the start of the game has said it all.

The Lakers are in good shape, and it is obviously easy and happy to face such an opponent, Tang Shuai only played two and a half quarters and was bored chatting with Batum about interesting things about France.

At 100-76, the Lakers ushered in a 20-plus-point victory, and the highest scorer was Stephenson, who came off the bench and contributed a season-high 25 points.

After winning this game, the Lakers won their second four-game winning streak of the season, and after this four-game winning streak, their record has improved to 16-7, leading the Rockets by half a game and returning to fourth place in the West.

Such a performance can be said to surprise all forecasting experts.

ESPN commentator Miller threw out a very interesting theory at this time, the Lakers' recent revival is almost always accompanied by "robbery", from the Magic team to rob O'Neal to make them prosperous for nearly ten years, and won 3 championship rings, and then robbed Gasol to let them win 2 more championships, and now robbed Tang Shuai again, I have to say that Kupchak is a full "robber manager." ”

Of course, this is just a joke from Miller, but it has changed course and admitted that the Lakers are once again on the road to revival.

On the day the Lakers won the Heat game, the NBA's annual All-Star voting was officially launched.

In his rookie season, Tang Shuai's selection was repeatedly questioned because of his rookie status and yellow skin, but this year, as soon as the draft website was opened, he surpassed James and Curry, Durant and others with crushing votes.

Last year, although Tang Shuai's performance was good, it was not outstanding, but this year, the league's highest 29.6 points so far, plus 4.5 rebounds and 7.8 assists, such data can be summed up in more than just two words.

Some Chinese used to vote, including last year, with a hint of hesitation, after all, they were always worried about being left behind and ridiculed for voting because of the Chinese, but now this solid data makes him completely unconcerned, even more logical than the original vote for Yao Ming.

With the support of Chinese fans, and the number of votes from the United States, this kind of vote was completely expected.

With the strength of the All-Star vote, on December 30, the Lakers flew back to their home court to welcome their last opponent in December, and the strongest opponent in recent times, the Rockets.

This offseason was the biggest offseason for the Rockets, and they reorganized the coaching staff, "Bombardment" D'Antoni joined the team, the team let go of the interior core Howard, signed Ryan Anderson and Eric Gordon, who were strong offensive and weak defensively, and completely played the offensive card.

After more than 2 months of games, it turns out that the Rockets should be an offense-oriented team, under the almost complete abandonment of defense, Harden has a complete outbreak, averaging 28.8 points, 3.6 rebounds and 8.6 assists per game, under his leadership, the Rockets have repeatedly relied on offense to destroy opponents, and have won 16-8 so far this season, ranking fifth in the West.

At home in Los Angeles, this game has attracted a lot of fan attention, and regardless of the victory or defeat of the game, the silver-like offense of the water pavilion can always make people addicted.

At home stadium in Los Angeles, the two teams staged a battle-to-head battle, with a variety of incredible goals that left the fans almost upset.

What made fans even more exciting was the crazy scoring performance of Tang Shuai and Harden, two super scorers at the end, Harden hit a super difficult step-back jumper at the last moment, but in the end, Tang Shuai attacked Ariza, not only scored the ball but also caused the latter's foul, and after hitting the free throw, he finally led the team 132-128 to get through the danger.

After the game, the entire Staples Center was completely boiling, and the shouts of "MVP" that resounded in the sky made people's blood boil.

Tang Shuai contributed 42 points and 9 assists in this game, and compared to Harden's performance of 38 points and 7 assists, the two staged an absolute peak duel.

Winning this game also justified Tang Shuai's all-star vote.

At the end of this game, the Lakers' 2016 game also came to an end, with a 17-7 record much better than expected, and a wave of five consecutive wins made fans full of infinite expectations for the future.

However, with the NBA schedule of 82 games, anything can happen, and it is obviously unrealistic to want to go on smoothly.

During the first training session of the new year, Gasol accidentally sprained his ankle.

It was an ordinary sprain, and Gasol didn't pay much attention to it.

But when he went to the team doctor for a check-up after training, he found out that the situation was far worse than expected.

Gasol actually sprained his ankle ligament, and it is conservatively estimated that it will take at least two months to recover.

Gasol is 38 years old after all, which is an absolute age for basketball players, and after arriving at the Lakers, he has become the absolute core of the interior, with an average playing time of 37 minutes per game, and the injury is actually not surprising at all, and even the Lakers have only injured two people until now, which is already absolutely lucky.

But as soon as the news came out, the whole team was dumbfounded.

Although the absolute core of this team is Tang Shuai, Gasol's importance to this team is not much weaker than Tang Shuai, and his threading can be said to be the key to the team's victory.

And more importantly, Azeri was out of action due to a knee injury before, and this Gasol was injured again, and only Noll, Landry, Nance Jr. and Bynum were left on the inside.

Although the four interior lines are barely usable, it is undoubtedly a huge blow to the team's strength.

This is definitely a big bad news for the new year and casts a shadow over the future of the team.

And just after the news was officially announced, the Lakers made a trade with the Pelicans, sending Nick Young to the Pelicans for Croatian center Ivica Zubac, who was selected with the 33rd pick. (To be continued.) )
