Chapter 51
"Hot, didn't you really mean it?"

After the game, the defender's head guard Manny Harris asked Tang Qian.

"Hey, Manny, didn't I say it all, I swear to God, it wasn't on purpose!"

"Tan, it's not that we don't believe you, it's mainly because of two consecutive matches in one match, the chance of this is too small."

Shooting guard Kareem Rush said.

"What? What do you mean doing two in a row??? Karim, can you use another word???" Tang Qian said very speechlessly.

"Sorry, sorry, but those two strokes of yours are so cool, they made my eyes straight! Honestly, hot, do you know Chinese Kungfu? Otherwise, how can you hit so accurately? And even the referee can't tell it? "

"Sigh~ Karim, I told you I didn't do it on purpose, how can you trust me?"

"I believe in you~ But I still want to ask the secret, can you teach me this trick? Is it good to learn?"

"Gee! Manny, Travis, why don't you come over and talk to me!" Tang Qian couldn't stand Karim Rush, so he could only ask for help.

"Huh? What's your expression?" Tang Qian noticed that the expressions of the two people were wrong, and immediately became alert.

"Well, uh, hot, if there is a secret, can you also..."

Tang Qian: "........."

Thanks to last night's win, the Defenders' opening record has come to 8 wins and 1 loss, which is definitely the first time in the history of the entire Defenders team.

During this period, Tang Qian received a call from Li Qiuping on the other side of the ocean.

What Li Qiuping meant was simple. The results of Tang Qian's urine test had already come out.

After a detailed test by the U17 World Youth Championship Doping Testing Center, Tang Qian's post-match urine test did not turn out to be positive. That is to say, there was nothing wrong with Tang Qian's performance that night.However, since the heat of this matter has already cooled down in the country, even if the results come out, the domestic response is mediocre, almost negligible.

"Forget it, Coach Li, it's fine when the urine test results come out. As for the domestic public opinion, there is no need to pay attention to it. Anyway, I am not a big star. Once the heat of the incident is over, no one will mention it. This is normal." Tang Potential said on the phone.

"Well, Xiao Tang, it's the best if you think so. As long as you develop well in the United States, then I will help you coordinate with the domestic basketball association." Li Qiuping said on the other end of the phone.

"It doesn't matter, Coach Li, you have helped me a lot, let him do this matter, I also figured it out, it's best to let things take their course. Anyway, I, Tang Qian, am just an ordinary person, who treats me Well, I'll be nice to whomever, that's enough."

"Little Tang, don't get too emotional. As long as you play hard and practice hard, I believe you will shine. I, Li Qiuping, have confidence in my vision."

"Well, Coach Li, you are my great benefactor. If you hadn't helped me arrange all this, I still don't know where to play. I, Tang Qian, will never forget this. So even if it is for you , I will work hard, and I will definitely not embarrass you."

"Okay, Xiao Tang, you are a good seedling in basketball. I just don't want to watch you go to waste. After all, it is too difficult for China to produce a basketball star. As the head coach of basketball, I have the responsibility and You are obliged to do this, so you don’t have to think too much. Your task now is to practice hard, strive to grow up as soon as possible, and strive to enter that world as soon as possible.”

"Well, I will. Don't worry, Coach Li."

For Li Qiuping, Tang Qian is truly grateful. It is because of the former's help that he can stand here, stand in the United States, and continue his basketball dream.

This kindness is beyond words.

It is now the end of 2011. With the end of the NBA labor dispute, most teams have started pre-game training camps, especially the Los Angeles Lakers. For this shortened season, it has quite high expectations. .

Because the season has shrunk, it means a reduction in the regular season, and in this way, it seems to be a blessing for the aging team.After all, as a veteran who has passed the 30-year-old threshold, physical reserve has always been a big problem, but in the shrinking season, everything seems to be perfect.

The former Lakers players all thought the same way.

But after the league announced the schedule of each team, the good mood of the Lakers fell to the bottom in an instant.

The regular season of the new season is actually as high as 66 games, instead of 50 games in the last shrinking season.

In this way, the Lakers have serious problems.

As the second oldest team in the league, the average age of 30.68 is second only to the top-ranked Miami Heat.But the Lakers are different from the Miami Heat. Don't look at the average age of Miami's 31.92 years old, but that's all hindered by the veterans who serve as substitutes.Miami's own five starting five tigers can be said to be all strong, James King 27, Flash 30, Dragon King 28, the average age is only 28.333 years old, which is almost the double peak of experience and body.On the other hand, the Lakers, although the average age seems to be a little younger, but its absolute core Kobe is 33 years old, Pau Gasol is 31 years old, and Artest, oh no, he has changed his name to Meta Wall this year. De Pease, the so-called "Merciful World Peace", he was born in 1979, so his age is as high as 33, and Luke Wharton, who has the fifth highest salary this season, is also 32 years old In this way, except for Andrew Bynum, who is only 25 years old, the top five players in the salary of the Lakers in the 2011-2012 season have all passed the "thirty" mark.So the Lakers are definitely an aging team through and through.

For such a group of people to play 125 regular-season games in 66 days, with an average of 1.8 days to fight one game, the pressure is unimaginable.In case the body is exhausted and injured, it will be much more difficult than for young players to recover.Especially the head player Kobe Bryant, he knows that his time is running out, so this season he is particularly eager to get revenge and win the Larry O'Brien Cup again.

"Huh? Why did someone arrive first?" Tang Qian curiously pushed open the gate of the training ground, because according to the nature of the defenders, they would not rush over for training so early.

But today, in the training hall, there was a lot of voices, as if a lot of people had poured in.

Could it be that this group of people has changed their gender?

With a "creak", Tang Qian pushed open the door, but everything inside was unfamiliar.

Of course, it can't be said that they are unfamiliar, because Tang Qian has seen these people on TV.

Spanish tall Pau Gasol, future Lakers Andrew Bynum, strong Metta World Peace, Luke Walton, Steve Blake, Derek Fisher, Matt... Barnes, Jason Kapono... This series of names made Tang Qian dizzy.

But the most eye-catching thing inside is naturally the shooting guard with a height of 1.98, Kobe Bryant.

As soon as Tang Qian opened the door, he heard undisguised complaints from inside.

"Oh my god, this is great. Our perfect operation was killed by the league. What a good plan it was. I can guarantee, Bryant, that we will be able to reach the top again in half a season at most. Everything is blamed on this damn league, shi.t~" The person who was speaking was wearing a suit and leather shoes, and shiny leather shoes, but what made people feel nondescript was that he was actually wearing a Dodgers baseball cap on his head.

There was almost no one in the training ground, including the man named Black Mamba, who was just practicing shooting on his own, without turning around to answer.

"Jim, Jim, stop talking. This is where the players train. Let's not bother them." Beside the man in the baseball cap, there was a man standing. This man Tang Qian had a little impression of him. He was a Laker The team's second godfather after West, Mitch Kupchak.In fact, for people of Tang Qian's age, West is already a bit far away. Mitch Kupchak in 2000 is a name well known to Lakers fans.

Among other things, his 12 years in office, 4 championships and 6 Western Conference championships are enough to make people speechless.

The disintegration of OK, the robbery of Gasol, and the robbery of Queen Bee Paul, who was just rejected this year, are all his handwriting.

So Tang Qian always remembered the image of this white-haired old man in his heart.

PS: Regarding the concerns of fellow book lovers, Xiaozi would like to say that the protagonist will not stay in NBDL for a season. This foreshadowing has already been laid, and friends who are familiar with the NBDL league may be able to guess~ In the end, Xiaozi rolled all over the floor Please recommend and collect~~~
