"Tang, first of all, congratulations to you, won the final game." The interview was a female reporter. She was not depressed by the home team's defeat, but instead seemed a little excited because of the successful Tang Shuai's basket.

"This is just a preseason game, and both teams have performed wonderfully." Tang Shuai said with a smile. After all, he was at the home court, so he didn't want to encounter any trouble himself.

"Tang, coach called you." Stephens saw that Tang Shuai was pulled by reporters and called him to help him get out.

Tang Shuai glanced at the reporter and said embarrassedly: "I have to leave."

"Don't, just answer a few questions, just a few questions." The female reporter held her hands in front of her, looked at him pitifully, begging, "Please..."

Tang Shuai couldn't bear it. He knew that Walton was not looking for him, so he waved to Stephenson and signaled him to go back to the locker room first.

"Thank you, thank you very much." The female reporter saw that Tang Shuai agreed, and a smile could not be hidden on her excited face.

"Then... let's start." Tang Shuai looked at the photographer over there.

The photographer over there came quickly, and after the preparation was completed, the interview began.

"This is a wonderful game. The team's cooperation allowed the Lakers to win the game, but we may notice some details in the game. According to official statistics, you and your teammates made up as many as 30 passes, but there is no Harrison Barnes here. Is there any problem here?" As soon as the female reporter spoke, the problem was quite lethal.

Tang Shuai glanced at the female reporter and suddenly felt that he shouldn't be soft-hearted and agreed to her.

"To be honest, I haven't paid attention to this data. Maybe what you want to ask is whether there is any problem between Harrison and me. The answer is obvious. There is no less pass between each other, and more because of running-in. After all, this is the first game of our new team." Tang Shuai thought for a while and said. Although Barnes did have some problems, it is impossible for him to spread this kind of problem in front of the media. If he spread it out, the team would be in chaos.

"Okay, thank you, the second question." The female reporter had a lot of experience and did not ask in-depth questions about this question. Instead, he immediately changed the subject, "In the competition, we noticed the cooperation between you and Paul (referring to Gasol Grande) and thought of tacit understanding. As we know, you two have had a fight in the Olympics. Is this experience making it easier for you to find each other?"

Hearing that the second question was no longer targeted, Tang Shuai relaxed his frown and said with a smile: "Yes, Paul is a first-class team player. When he is here, we can always play more smoothly. His passing is always so outstanding. It is a great honor to be able to play with such a future Hall of Fame player."

Tang Shuai is not stingy with Grand Gasol. Although his athletic ability has declined due to his age, Grand Gasol's threat on the defensive end is far inferior to that of the peak, but in terms of offense alone, he has really not deteriorated at all. Instead, like Duncan, he has a tendency to become more and more demonic as he gets older.

"Does this mean you want more partners with Gasol to appear on the court? After all, we can see that Harrison's performance in this game was not that outstanding."

Tang Shuai's smile slowly closed.

A pit! What a pit!

The reporter was playing around and wanted to take him into the ditch. As expected, he was indeed a reporter from New York. He was deceived by the harmless expression of this human and animal.

"The role of the preseason is mainly to get the lineup in. In this game, Paul and I have a close cooperation. Maybe I will cooperate perfectly with Harrison in the next game. The game is always changing, and who will play with whom is the matter decided by the coach. My responsibility is only to be responsible for playing well, it is that simple."

After saying this, Tang Shuai said embarrassedly: "Sorry, I think my coach should have been waiting for me for a while."

After saying that, he cast apologetic eyes to the female reporter and the photographer, then turned around and walked towards the player passage.

"Wait a minute..." The female reporter wanted to stop him, but soon found that Tang Shuai had no intention of stopping at all, so she could only withdraw her hand helplessly.

After entering the player channel, Tang Shuai's expression suddenly became serious.

Even the New York media have noticed the problem between him and Barnes. It seems that he must find an opportunity to have a good talk.

Barnes is different from Reeves Jr. He is the Lakers' biggest signing in summer, at least in terms of salary. This does not mean that he will be admitted to the cold palace just after entering the cold palace. The relationship is much more complicated than Reeves Jr.

Now that he remembered what Gasol said to him, he was really planning ahead. He seemed to have to find an opportunity to have a good talk with Barnes.

The preseason game continues, and the Lakers continue to face the Spurs and Raptors in the next game.

Tang Shuai's performance is still outstanding. After using two exclusive skill packages and several purple skill packages, he can be said to be promoted to the ranks of quasi-superstars in an instant. After three games, he averaged only 20 minutes per game and scored up to 25 points. His shooting percentage was an astonishing 60%. For him, the preseason was not much different from being abused.

But unlike the first time facing the Knicks, the Lakers lost the next two games. Although Tang Shuai and other main players did not play in the next two games, they lost because they lost, which still reflected some problems.

The most obvious ones are Tang Shuai and Barnes.

What people never expected was that the two men played three games and passed each other was outrageously 0 times. The media in Los Angeles began to report on some possible gap between the two men.

Tang Shuai originally wanted to try to find the feeling for the two of them on the court, but after finding that Barnes refused to pass the ball to him, he naturally would not touch his cold butt.

Finally, after losing to the Celtics in the fourth home game, he pulled Barnes to the next office after the game.

Tang Shuai's movements were quite rough and savage, with the bus power in his hand. Barnes, a player who was swinging at the third and fourth positions, was pulled and pulled by him and went straight into the office next door.

With a "bang", the office door was closed heavily, leaving other Lakers players looking at each other, not knowing what was going on.

"Paul, are we going to find Coach Luke?" Seeing that even himself entered the office like this, Batum turned around and cast a questioning look at Gasol.

Just like Pierce was the locker room leader in the Clippers, Gasol, who had the oldest qualifications and was an old Lakers, naturally became the locker room leader of the Lakers.

"Yes, I don't think Tang's face looks very good, so something may happen." Brewer also said with a worried look on his face. As Tang Shuai's old teammate, he naturally worried that Tang Shuai would suffer a loss in the entanglement with Barnes. After all, no matter what, Barnes is much bigger than Tang Shuai.

"Let's wait first and see how they are talking. Anyway, there is only one door, so we have time to stop it if there is something really happening." Gasol waved his hand and said, knowing that the conversation between Tang Shuai and Barnes will definitely come, and now it's just a little bit ahead.

Gasol had spoken, and the players didn't say anything. Brewer and Stephenson looked at each other and chose to wait and see first.

"Now, there are only two of us." Tang Shuai pulled Barnes to the office and closed the door and said bluntly.

"What do you want to do?" Barnes looked at Tang Shuai coldly. Tang Shuai's strength exceeded his expectations. He was obviously not in a good mood when he was dragged in so forcibly.

"I don't want anything, I need to have a good talk with you." Tang Shuai didn't beat around the bush.

"Talk? What to talk about?" Barnes's eyes were still cold.

"I know why you are unwilling to pass the ball to me." Tang Shuai ignored his expression and said straight to the point.

Barnes frowned.

"This summer is a crazy summer. A maximum salary contract is the trust that Mickey and the Lakers have in you. You also hope to prove yourself after leaving the Warriors. If you want to perform, at least it is a performance in data." Tang Shuai said and looked at Barnes.

Barnes dodged in his eyes and said, "I didn't think so."

"I think this is human nature, and there is nothing wrong with it. If it were me, I would have done this. You have encountered too many doubts in your performance in the playoffs, and you need to prove yourself." Tang Shuai ignored Barnes and continued.

Barnes chose to remain silent this time. He was not good at speaking at all. Now Tang Shuai was weak and could not keep up with the words for a while.

"But..." Tang Shuai said suddenly, "You must also know what performance is."

Barnes looked up at him.

"If you remember correctly your data with the Warriors, you will have 12 points and 5 rebounds in the regular season? 9 points and 5 rebounds in the playoffs? A shooting percentage of less than 40%. This performance is not good, right? But many teams have offered you a maximum salary contract. What does this mean? It means that the decision performance is not just the data. You should be very clear about this in the Warriors." Tang Shuai said and looked at Barnes.

After Barns paused for a moment, he looked up at Tang Shuai and said, "What the hell do you want to say?"

"You don't have to worry about me snatching your core position because that position..." Tang Shuai said, looking at Barnes firmly, "It was mine."

Barnes was stunned for a moment, and his eyes widened at Tang Shuai.

"When you were the third leader of Curry and Thompson for three years when you were with the Warriors, why can't you be the second leader of me? I can guarantee that if we cooperate well, your performance will definitely not be bad. Although there is only one basketball, no team has only one core."

Barnes was silent and didn't say anything. Although Tang Shuai's words were a little harsh, they were very real.
