"Take it easy." Duffy took Tang Shuai's hand away and said, "The negotiations between the Rockets and the Clippers are indeed almost complete, but there is no final confirmation yet. ”

"No final confirmation yet?" Tang Shuai asked suspiciously.

"The Rockets gave Brewer and Jones, and the Clippers gave Redick and Smith, but the Clippers clearly wanted Motai Yunas." Duffy followed.

"Haha......" Tang Shuai suddenly burst into a wild laugh.

"What are you laughing at?" Duffy looked at Tang Shuai in surprise.

"What does that guy Morey think, and the Clippers can agree with this chip? Although Brewer is suitable for the Clippers, JJ is not bad, and he even wants to exchange Jones for Smith, which is completely whimsical! Tang Shuai said with a laugh.

"Don't laugh, my sources tell me that there's a more than 80% chance that the deal will be completed." Duffy followed.

Tang Shuai's smile froze suddenly, and then looked at Duffy blankly: "Really? ”

"I don't know how Morey did it, and you don't ask me about me, if I knew, I would be the NBA general manager tomorrow."

After listening to what Duffy said, Tang Shuai was stunned for a moment, and then lay back on the sofa with a decadent face.

"Actually, you don't have to blame yourself too much, the NBA is like that, players are just commodities that owners put on the shelves." Duffy saw Tang Shuai's appearance and opened his mouth to persuade.

"But Josh was traded because of my advice." Tang Shuai said with some bitterness.

"Because of you?" Duffy suddenly laughed inexplicably.

Tang Shuai turned his head and looked at Duffy suspiciously.

"The last time you said that Sam asked you who was suitable, and that one and that was not suitable, it means that he already had the idea of a trade. As for who to trade and how. Do you think he can control it? To put it bluntly, these things are decided by the general managers. Duffy said lightly.

"Shall I go to Dave, then?" Tang Shuai sat up from the sofa abruptly, and was about to stand up.

"What are you going to do!" Duffy pulled him back. "Looks like you've drunk too much!"

Tang Shuai was drunk, and was directly pulled back to the sofa by Duffy and sat down.

"You're not LeBron, you're not Kobe, you're going to the general manager of the team? Will they ignore you? Duffy said coldly.

Duffy's words hit Tang Shuai's head like a stick, and he was stunned, yes, Daffy Ken helped him to get back the rights that belonged to the general manager from Reeves' hands, and now Reeves has been fired. Wall has already got the rights he wants, how could he possibly listen to a rookie?

Even if the rookie performs well, that's all, Duffy is right, he is not a superstar like James Kobe, and it is impossible to influence the decisions of the general managers, not to mention that in fact, this trade is a decision made by a team, not Wall.

"Let's look at it, maybe things will turn around." Duffy turned around and patted Tang Shuai on the shoulder. Then he walked to the room, walked to the door, and before going in, he turned around and said, "You'll have back-to-back games tomorrow." If you don't want to have an accident, go back to your room and sleep. ”

Tang Shuai looked at the wine bottle in front of him in a daze, felt sleepiness sweeping over, and staggered back to the room. Fall asleep.

When he got up the next day, Tang Shuai went to the locker room. Redick and Smith were both in a bit of a mood swing, and it seemed that they knew they were about to be traded.

Tang Shuai looked helpless. I changed my clothes and went to the stadium early.

After the Oklama Thunder, formerly the Seattle SuperSonics, was renamed the Thunder, the team selected Durant, Ibaka, and Westbrook in a row, and laid the current core lineup in one fell swoop, including Harden, Jackson and others selected for the suspension of vomiting, so that the team remained quite competitive.

The absence of Durant, the team's key player last season, ultimately missed the playoffs, but this season, Durant returned to the team, and the team is once again in the ranks of strong teams, and now ranks third in the West.

Against the Thunder, it was definitely the biggest test for the Clippers.

Especially for the Clippers' small forward group, it is definitely the most difficult challenge against a superstar like Durant who is tall, arm span, athletic and shooting.

Defending Durant requires the kind of player who moves fast, is tall enough, and can be stalked, but unfortunately the Clippers don't have that kind of player on the team right now.

Tang Shuai also encountered the most severe defense since the start of the game, Westbrook is known as the iron man, and the whole game is almost full, so after Tang Shuai plays, he is basically in the same position as him.

Westbrook's physical fitness is perverted, his reaction is extremely fast, and the impact is explosive, Tang Shuai is in the opposite position, and he is suppressed without suspense at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, and his contribution is limited.

At 120:102, the Thunder won back-to-back Clippers without blood, Westbrook scored a big double-double of 28 points and 14 assists, and Durant scored 38 points, directly breaking the Clippers' small forward group.

Tang Shuai was limited by Westbrook in this game, only made 7 shots in the game, hit 3 goals, and finally got 6 points and 2 assists, and failed to score a double-double for the first time after returning from the Development League.

The loss to the Thunder is not too much of a surprise for the Clippers at this stage, but for a team aiming to win a championship, such a result advances some things.

Transactions often happen after a loss.

On this night, Tang Shuai, who lost the game and blamed himself, called Su Mei to make an appointment.

After the last Santa Monica Beach incident, the relationship between the two has undergone some subtle changes from before, but in essence, Su Mei still plays the role of the coach in his life.

Su Mei is still the same Su Mei, although what she said is similar to what Duffy said that day, but it is obviously much easier to accept to be tactful, and the pressure in Tang Shuai's heart is much less than before.

The two of them finally went to the beach, stepping on the soft sand and blowing the fresh sea breeze, as if everything was not so important.

The day after the loss to the Thunder, the Clippers had their daily practice day.

Tang Shuai and Su Mei returned late the night before, got up late the next day, and arrived at the team a little later than usual.

When he entered the dressing room, he found that most of the players had already changed their clothes.

"Hey, Don, you're up late today." Smith came over and called out to him.

Tang Shuai smiled, and then immediately began to change clothes.

When he got dressed, he found everyone else chatting there.

What is a little different from usual is that today Kassel has to play a little more than usual.

Tang Shuai sat down to put on his shoes, his eyes swept around, and suddenly found that there were two people missing, he turned to Smith and said, "Josh, JJ is here today?" ”

“JJ？” Smith also seemed to have just noticed, and shook his head.

Tang Shuai's action of tying his shoelaces stopped, and a trace of doubt flashed on his brows, in fact, it was not only Reddick, but also Little Reeves, could it be that the deal happened?
