Chapter 591: Brought into the ditch
Free throw skill package, Tang Shuai is still green now, it's not that he doesn't want to pack, but he has never had a chance, there is no shortage of free throw players in the league, but in fact, he doesn't know much, and then look at the people he knows, Yao Ming and Nash are both masters, but it is clear that they will not take basketball anymore, so it has led to the current situation.
seems to know that Tang Shuai's hit rate is not very high, and the DJ on the scene frantically drove the fans to interfere vigorously.
Smith was standing outside the three-point line at this time, and he kept raising his hand upward, signaling the fans to be louder.
In the next moment, the entire arena was filled with a deafening noise, which made people's ears feel extremely uncomfortable.
"It's definitely the most mentality-go-alling goal for the players." Miller frowned, looked at Tang Shuai and said.
At the other end of the court, Wharton couldn't help but squeeze his hands.
At such a critical moment, it is impossible for anyone to remain calm.
Tang Shuai closed his eyes and took two deep breaths in a row, and when he opened his eyes again, everything around him was empty.
The referee then threw the ball to him, took it and glanced at the basket before taking the free throw.
The basketball arcs through the air and flies past the highest point.
Looking at the direction of the basketball's fall, Lu's face on the sidelines changed.
This goal is going to go in.
"Huh!"
With a crisp sound, the basketball crashed straight into the net bag.
The fans were in an uproar, and some people who couldn't bear to look at it directly reached out to cover their faces.
This free throw hit, the Lakers overtook by 1 point!
With less than 3 seconds left in the game, the Cavaliers had no timeout, Love sent the ball from the baseline, James dribbled forward, made a beautiful back-to-back pass to Batum, and then threw the ball forward.
"Toot!"
The red light on the sidelines lit up.
"Bang!"
The direction of the basketball was very positive, but the strength was a little stronger, and after the basket hit the back edge and jumped high, it flew directly to the back of the basket in an uproar from the fans.
Relying on Tang Shuai's 3+1 at the last moment, the Lakers finally won the game in a thrilling way.
The moment the basketball jumped out of the hoop, the Lakers players all rushed to the court.
Tang Shuai clenched his hands into fists and looked up at the roof of the stadium, this was a game worth remembering.
In the whole game, he played 40 minutes and scored 24 points and 20 assists, almost breaking Johnson's team record of 24 points and 24 assists in a single game.
The Cavaliers' post-game press conference, the loss made the atmosphere a little depressing.
James is a tough guy and he takes every defeat very seriously.
'We lost a game that we should have won and we can't always do that, we didn't do well enough defensively and gave the opposition too many chances to attack, so we're going to take it and we'll win the next game.'
When asked about the Lakers' performance, he said it officially, but he still mentioned Tang Shuai as expected.
"The Lakers played an impressive game, they played hard, which is a rare thing, especially Don, who always finds teammates at the most opportune opportunities and is very good at taking advantage of them, yes, he's playing great and I'm looking forward to playing against him next time."
When asked about the 20 assists at the end, he said bluntly: "I don't pay much attention to it, but I think the fans should look at it rationally, we are professional players, we will obey the coach's arrangement, there is no point in arguing like this, and it is not worth it to get injured for it." ”
The atmosphere of the press conference on the Cavaliers' side was a bit depressing, while the Lakers were just the opposite, always able to burst into laughter from time to time, and winning the defending championship made both Walton and Tang Shuai feel quite good.
"Don, you only had 19 assists with just a minute left on the end of the game, sorry I used that word, how was you feeling at the time?" Finally, there are reporters who throw out the question of 20 assists.
The relaxed atmosphere at the scene was stagnant, and the reporters looked at Tang Shuai in unison.
Tang Shuai paused for a moment and then said: "yes, I was very nervous, I thought God, you must give me another chance to get an assist, and then God answered my prayer, and then the final scene of the game appeared." ”
Before he finished speaking, a hearty laugh suddenly sounded at the scene.
This kind of joking ear situation makes the atmosphere come back at once.
"But I think as a league, we need to do some restraint in this regard, and we can't have bad incidents because of the irrationality of some fans, which is not good for the image of the league." After relaxing, Tang Shuai still said seriously.
Those fans had a brawl because of him, and it was his responsibility to speak out at this time.
At the end of the press conference, the match was officially announced, but something unexpected happened that night.
After the NBA every day's games, the major TV stations will make the day's wonderful five goals, this night, the fans didn't see anything else, they saw the full screen of Tang Shuai, whether it is ESPN, or T.N.T, or NBA, or FOX, almost every TV station, the five best balls released by Tang Shuai were dominated by Tang Shuai.
This is absolutely unbelievable, and it can even be said to be unprecedented.
FOX director Mick Edward shared a story behind the scenes with fans in an exclusive interview.
"You know, it's not common for players to get 20 assists, but it's not nothing, but this time for Don, it's really unprecedented, you know, he gave 20 assists, but you may not notice that of the 20 assists he spent, at least 8 of them were absolutely wonderful, which is up to our usual five-best ball judging criteria, so even if it was the initial screening, it took us a while to settle down."
"But when we were ready to broadcast, we found a very embarrassing thing, whether it was ESPN, or T.N.T, or the NBA, the final choice was almost the same as ours, so this is really a very weird thing, we have several major sports stations, and in the end we have to broadcast the same five best balls, so there is no distinction at all?"
"So a few of us sat down and chatted for a while, and came up with a solution, which is to separate these balls, and then a TV station will take a few, but it is different, so as not to make the audience feel aesthetically fatigued because of Tang's frequent appearances."
"But why did Don's five balls come out in the end?" When Edward said this, the reporter who interviewed him couldn't help but interrupt.
"yes, that's a good question, that's what we agreed on, but that's how it happened, we almost unanimously gave up our agreement when we finally wanted to let it out, and then there was the scene in front of us."
"To be honest, Don's passes are really beautiful, and we who do the media really don't want to let go."
Edward smiled wryly after speaking, and it could be seen that although he didn't expect this scene, he didn't regret it.
Tang Shuai didn't pay attention to this interview, but his mood was very good, winning the Cavaliers, the momentum of the Lakers can be said to have gone up directly, and the players completely came out of the shadow of two consecutive defeats, and from the reaction of the players in the locker room, it can be felt that this win is not just a game.
Flying back to Los Angeles the next day, Wharton gave the players a day off, Tang Shuai originally wanted to ask Duffy to go out to play, but he didn't expect to see Duffy concentrating on learning rap there with a tablet soon after he got up.
Unlike in China, rap is the most popular music in the United States, there is no one, almost every artist will come to that piece, and even some NBA players love it, such as Lillard, Artest is one of the best, they have even held a personal concert, or an album abroad.
Although Duffy is not to that extent, it is reasonable that he is obsessed with rapping.
"Judge, don't play around like that, let's go out for a walk." Tang Shuai was not interested in rapping, so he patted him on the shoulder and said.
Duffy took off the headset, glanced at Tang Shuai with a "you don't understand" look, and then suddenly said with great interest: "Tang, if you come and feel it, I think you will definitely fall in love with him." ”
"No, I'm not full of tones, so I can't get my hands on this kind of thing." Tang Shuai hurriedly waved his hand.
"Don, do you know why rap is so popular?" Duffy put the headset on the table, looked at Tang Shuai with a smile and said.
"This ...... Just like Chinese drama, it has something to do with culture, right? Tang Shuai said uncertainly.
"No, no......" said Duffy, shaking his finger, "because most people don't have all five tones!" ”
Tang Shuai was stunned for a moment, and after comprehending the meaning, he couldn't help laughing.
"Jaime, you're a little cold with that joke."
"Haha, Don, in fact, rapping is really interesting, R&B, Rap are all situations, no matter what situation you use, it always allows you to express your thoughts and feelings in different situations, even when you are alone, you can also vent your emotions."
After listening to what Duffy said, Tang Shuai nodded: "What you said makes a little sense." ”
"So, come on, you won't train today anyway, come and play with me." Duffy said as he pulled Tang Shuai to the sofa and sat down.
Tang Shuai thought about it, so he simply sat down.
At first, Duffy showed Don some rap songs with a strong sense of rhythm, and then some that were easy to catch.
Slowly, Tang Shuai was soon taken into the ditch.
I have to say that rap is really toxic, and there may be some resistance without contact, but it can't stop after it really starts.
Duffy also brought beer from the fridge, and the two of them practiced while drinking.
In the end, Tang Shuai and Duffy are like two crazy people, holding a beer bottle as a microphone and constantly rapping to the rhythm, if they record a video, they may be as popular as in China for several days. (To be continued.) )
