The Clippers' next game is on December 13, which means that after a three-game road streak, the team will have a rare three-day break.

Kassel also knew that the players were physically tired from the away games for several days, so they gave the players two days of rest and did not arrange training.

This kind of rest during the season is very rare, and the players all go to relax with their hobbies, or play in the beautiful scenery of the beach, or a fish pond boat, fishing for big fish, or this or that.

However, Tang Shuai didn't do this, and even didn't go out with Su Mei for such a good time, but directly asked Cassel to a nearby café.

Tang Shuai was waiting in the café early, and when he saw Cassel coming, he hurriedly got up and greeted him.

"Don, you're here so early?" Cassel walked in with a smile, he was still very optimistic about Tang Shuai, so even if Tang Shuai didn't explain the specific things clearly on the phone, he still came over.

"Coach, you're coming quickly." Tang Shuai smiled and led Cassel to his seat and sat down.

Cassel is a bit similar to Tang Shuai, he is resolute at work, but in ordinary times, he is very enthusiastic and approachable, including the previous fight for Tang Shuai's starter.

As soon as he sat down, Cassel smiled and said, "Why, everyone else has gone to relax, do you have the leisure to ask me out to talk about things?" ”

Tang Shuai smiled and said: "I don't know the place here, and I don't have much place to go out to play, so it's better to train more, after all, in a few years, there will naturally be this time." ”

"You can see it very clearly." Cassel nodded in satisfaction.

"What do you want to drink, sir?" At this time, the service staff of the café came over and asked with a sincere smile.

"Coach. What are you going to drink? ”

"Just give me plain black coffee." Cassel said with a smile.

"Two points of black coffee." Tang Shuai also said.

After ordering coffee, Tang Shuai said directly: "Coach." I asked you out today, mainly because of the question you asked me last time. That question about small forwards. ”

Hearing Tang Shuai mention this, Cassel's brows furrowed, the problem of this team's starting small forward, from the moment he became the head coach, it was found to be a big problem, and the subsequent attempts were not ideal.

"Originally, I was definitely not a rookie to talk about the management thing, but you asked me that day, coach, I had just come back from the Development League at that time, and I didn't have any ideas. But this road trip to the East, I think I have some ideas, I wonder if the coach still wants to hear about it now? Tang Shuai said and glanced at Kassel.

"Tell me, what's your idea?" Kassel was indeed troubled by this, and regardless of Tang Shuai's identity, he asked directly.

With Kassel's consent, Tang Shuai followed up and said: "When we played Milwaukee, the problem of small forward was already highlighted, and then we played New York and Chicago. I feel a little overwhelmed.

Josh is not fast enough, Lance is on the short side, Wesley is easy to be a defensive hole in the help defense, and Moba Motte can guarantee the defense. But the impact on the offense is too great, and it should be obvious when this game against Chicago, the most suitable Paul. I'm also old, and it's too difficult to maintain a high-intensity confrontation. Of course, most of these are what you said the other day. ”

Tang Shuai paused as he spoke.

"Hmm. You continue. Cassel looked straight at Tang Shuai, looking forward to what he was going to say next.

Tang Shuai followed: "I think a trade is inevitable, although I know that it will have an impact on the atmosphere that has just formed in the team, but from the perspective of the team's future, it is imperative to trade a player who can shoot three-pointers and can defend." ”

After listening to what Tang Shuai said, Cassel looked at him for a while, and then smiled: "Aren't you afraid that Dave will trade you?" ”

"Business is business, I still understand this sentence, and if Manager Dave does it, and Mr. Ballmer agrees, I believe that is my own problem." Tang Shuai said lightly, he has a packaging system in hand, and it is the same which team he goes to, it is nothing more than a matter of fast or slow personal development.

"You're very open-minded." Cassel said with a smile.

"Sir, your coffee." At this moment, the waiter came over with two cups of American black coffee.

The service attitude of this café is still very good, and the waitress smiled and put down the coffee for the two, and then said "please use it slowly" and then retreated.

Cassel put some sugar in his coffee, stirred it for a while, and then said, "You will mention the matter of trading, you must think that there is a suitable trading partner, right?" ”

"Corey? Brewer. Tang Shuai said bluntly.

"Corey? Brewer? The one in Houston? Cassel put down the spoon in his hand and looked at Tang Shuai suspiciously.

Tang Shuai nodded and said: "Brewer is very good in single defense and defense, and has a good three-point shooting ability, although the current performance is not too good, but he is a typical contract year player, I believe that if you change teams, Josh is also in the team, he will recover his form." ”

He told everything Duffy had said that day in one breath.

Cassel withdrew his gaze and continued to stir the coffee with his spoon, not saying anything.

After Tang Shuai finished speaking, he was expecting Kassel to agree with his point of view, but such a strange attitude still made him a little puzzled.

Cassel stirred for a while, then stopped, looked up and said, "Your opinion is useful, I'll discuss this with Dave later." ”

Hearing Cassel say this, Tang Shuai finally breathed a sigh of relief, although he didn't mention the Clippers' trade chips, but believe Cassel and Dave? Wall is a clear-eyed person, and he can see it at a glance.

Although it is not so appropriate to trade from the mouth of a rookie, after being with the Clippers for so long and getting to know most of the players very well, it is still very uncomfortable to see the frustration of the players when they lose, including himself, after all, who doesn't want to win every day.

After talking about business, the two people then talked about some things in life, after all, Tang Shuai, a Chinese to the United States, his views on the surrounding things are also very new to Kassel.

The later topics are much more relaxed than those between them, and the two of them laugh from time to time when they chat.

After the meeting with Kassel, Tang Shuai followed him back to the villa.

For him and the Clippers, the next period of time will definitely not be as calm as before.
