NBA: Being criticized for half a year at the beginning

Chapter 60

On January 5, the Rockets came to Los Angeles to challenge the Los Angeles Lakers, the king team here. The two teams are now ranked in the top two of the league. The two sides have played against each other twice this season, and each won one game.

Tonight is the third match between the two sides. The Lakers' Pau Gasol continues to be absent due to injury, and the Rockets' Carter and Scola are on the injury list.

Tang Yu is now famous and has a lot of gossip. Yesterday, some media broke the footage of him and Anne Hathaway shopping on Fifth Avenue in New York.

This gossip immediately made the front page headlines of major media.

The topic of Taylor Swift being cheated on and Anne Hathaway becoming a mistress immediately spread to everyone.

Taylor Swift and Tang Yu were furious after seeing it, and immediately moved out of Tang Yu's mansion in Houston and returned to Los Angeles.

Tang Yu also asked Max to take action immediately to find the person who took the photo and clarify the matter immediately. Fortunately, only the two of them were photographed shopping together.

Max immediately asked the Houston press officer to issue a statement, saying that Tang Yu was with Anne Hathaway just because he wanted to invest in a movie. It was Christmas time, and Tang Yu asked the other party to help him choose some Christmas gifts.

However, Tang Yu did not choose to find Taylor Swift. He stated that he had already sent the statement, and whether to reply or not was up to Taylor Swift herself.

Tang Yu sent a message to Anne Hathaway, letting her rest assured that he would handle everything.

Anne Hathaway also knew the ability of Max around Tang Yu, and sent an OK gesture to Tang Yu.

On the way to Staples, Max had already told Tang Yu about the paparazzi who took pictures.

Tang Yu just glanced at Max lightly, and Max immediately understood what Tang Yu meant.

The eyes of those who want to stab cannot be hidden.

After entering Staples, Tang Yu went directly to the pre-match press conference, and the flash lights began to bombard Tang Yu crazily.

He also knew the questions the reporters would ask him, so he said it before the reporters asked.

"I don't want the outside world to care too much about my private life. My press officer has issued a statement. If you haven't seen it, you can go and watch it now. Miss Anne Hathaway and I are just very good friends. I want to invest in a movie, and I asked her opinion. That's it!"

Without giving any reporter a chance to speak, Tang Yu left directly under Max's escort.

Back in the locker room, the Rockets players were changing their jerseys. Looking around the locker room, he found that Harden's beard had become much thicker, and it was almost the same as the complete body.

Such Harden made Tang Yu look much more comfortable.

Tang Yu said loudly to the players: "I hope everyone will not be disturbed by rumors from the outside world and put all their energy into the game. Tonight's game will be very difficult."

Seeing the players' concerned expressions, Tang Yu smiled: "I know everyone cares about me. Don't worry, I have taken care of everything."

After Tang Yu finished speaking, he reassured the players. After everyone changed their clothes, they went to the stadium for pre-match warm-up.

After all the players left, the team assistant coach "Glove" Payton said to Tang Yu: "Boss, I have something I want to ask you for help."

"Tell me about it?"

"It's about my son's problem. He wants to be a player like me, but his talent is..."

"Gary, just say the point. I don't like to beat around the bush. What do you want me to do?"

Faced with Payton's hesitation, Tang Yu directly asked the other party to state his purpose.

"I think you can discover the talent of the players. I want to hear your advice for my son."

Tang Yu thought about it. What kind of advice should he give to a role player?

"I think he should develop in the direction of Doug, with more enthusiasm and defense on the court, and then develop the ability to shoot three-pointers, so that he can survive in this league. The most important thing for every player is to find his own position."

"This suggestion is very helpful to me, thank you boss."

"Let's go, the game is about to start."

Tang Yu patted Payton's shoulder, and the two walked towards the stadium together.

As soon as he entered the stadium, Tang Yu saw the "Zen Master" Phil Jackson standing next to the Lakers bench.

Tang Yu walked over, "How is the Zen Master?"

"Haha, Tang Yu, your team has been really prosperous recently. You have to show mercy tonight, I hope your team can break the record of 33 consecutive wins." Phil Jackson shook Tang Yu's hand and patted his shoulder.

"I am flattered by the Zen Master's praise. I am just a primary school student in the basketball world, and I still have a lot to learn from you."

Tang Yu thought to himself, don't tell meIn this business, they praised each other.

Tang Yu turned around and was about to walk back to the Rockets' bench, when a beautiful woman wearing a Rockets jersey appeared in Tang Yu's sight.

Unexpectedly, Taylor Swift actually appeared in the Staples Center.

The two looked at each other, Tang Yu smiled, and then Taylor Swift also smiled.

Tang Yu walked over, and the two hugged and kissed under the spotlight, which also broke all the rumors from the outside world.

"Are you not angry anymore?" Tang Yu asked Taylor Swift in her ear.

"Of course I am angry, but I haven't figured out how to punish you yet, so I'll help you first." Taylor Swift said with a smile.

"Then I have to perform well. Will you come with me to Phoenix tonight?"

"Only if you win tonight."

"Haha, that's a deal."

After returning to the bench, Stevens came over to Tang Yu and said, "Done?"

"Of course, my charm is unquestionable. Do you need me to teach you? But I'll pay for it!" Tang Yu made a money-grubber expression.

"Thank you!"

Tang Yu called Beverley, who was warming up, to his side.

"You need to pay a lot to become a top defender. You need to observe how players like Kobe attack off the court. If you can defend such a player alone, you will become the object of competition for every team."

Hei Bei's eyes widened and he kept nodding to show that he understood.

"Don't worry, coach. I will follow all your arrangements."

Beverley is definitely annoying as an opponent, but it's still very good to be on the same team with him.

After the warm-up of both players, the starting lineups soon took off their training clothes.

As the home team, the Los Angeles Lakers sent out the strongest lineup except for Gasol.

Point guard: ‘Old Fish’ Derek Fisher;

Shooting guard: ‘Black Mamba’ Kobe Bryant;

Small forward: ‘Lama’ Lamar Odom;

Power forward: ‘Beast’ Ron Artest;

Center: ‘Little Shark’ Andrew Bynum.

The visiting Houston Rockets’ Tang Yu sent out a lineup that they often use this season.

Point guard: ‘Primary School Student’ Stephen Curry;
