"What?" Tang Shuai looked at Stephenson in confusion. He obviously didn't know what the latter meant.

"You can see it yourself." Stephenson handed the tablet to Tang Shuai. On Twitter and Facebook, quite a lot of fans were making fun of it.

Seeing these things, Tang Shuai was surprised at first, then frowned, but in the end, he followed.

"What are you laughing at?" Stephenson looked at him curiously.

"I suddenly felt that my sponsor should add some advertising fee to me." Tang Shuai said with a smile.

"What?" Stephenson looked puzzled.

"Is anyone discussed so much about this kind of thing before? I am the first one, right? Shouldn't everyone increase their popularity?" Tang Shuai said with a smile.

"..., Tang, this is really not a trivial matter. You can still joke calmly. This will really have a great impact on you and our game." Stephenson leaned over his head and lowered his voice.

"Don't worry, I know what I know. You'll wait and see." Tang Shuai didn't explain, patted Stephenson on the shoulder and said.

Stephenson was stunned for a moment, then sighed helplessly. He only hoped that in the game two days later, the Celtics would not cut people again like the first two teams.

On March 9, US time, after two days of rest, the Lakers ushered in a away game to challenge the Celtics.

For the current Lakers, this is a game that will never be easy.

After a period of running-in at the beginning of the season, the Celtics showed strong competitiveness before and after the All-Star Game. Under the leadership of young coach Brad Stevens, their current record has reached third in the Eastern Conference.

Although it is relatively weak in the East, being able to enter the top three means that this team is quite mature.

The Lakers' fight against the Celtics is definitely a fierce battle.

However, compared with the game itself, the focus of the media and fans does not seem to be that both sides can perform in the game, or who will become the winner of the two strong confrontations. What they pay most attention to is naturally the hottest news during this period: Will Tang Shuai be cut off again in this game? How many goals will he lose in the whole game?

Stephens is different from Hoyberg. Although he is both a college coach, the young coach is obviously much stronger in terms of tactics and ability.

Or it is really surprising that Tang Shuai's unprecedented free throws are really good. Many lottery companies even opened a handicap for Tang Shuai's failure to lose several free throws, ranging from 1 to 20, and the odds are listed one by one, which is different.

Not to mention, after this plate was released, many websites received more than half of the orders than usual.

This unprecedented scene made the game look full of gimmicks before it began.

On the evening of the 9th, the TD North Shore Garden Arena was packed, and the two strong players from the east and west will usher in the second and last clash of the season.

In the previous confrontation, Walton was still leading the team, and Gasol was not injured. In that Christmas game, the Lakers finally won the game. This time the Celtics fought at home, and it was definitely avenged that they would have to take advantage of their previous shame.

Tang Shuai followed his teammates out of the player passage. When he looked up, he saw that the stadium was full. The battle between purple, gold and green shirts was extremely anticipated by fans even if it was not on a specific day.

But soon, he discovered some unfriendly phenomena.

In some positions near the middle of the scene, many fans held up the KT board, and the contents said, "Dang, are you ready to sit on the sidelines to watch the ball?", "Dang, are you going to miss a few free throws today", "The strongest free throw guard in the world", etc., such as words with irony and provocative meanings, which make people look very dazzling.

"These fans are a bit too much." Batum also saw those KT boards at this time and couldn't help but speak.

Tang Shuai just frowned slightly and continued, "It's nothing, let them go."

Although he felt a little uncomfortable, he suddenly wanted to know what kind of expressions these people would have when he was punished continuously.

Not long after both sides entered the court, the introduction of the home team players began on the scene.

As the name suggests, the Green Shirts, except wearing green jerseys, their floors and opening colors are all green.

When the player was introduced, a smokeless spark spurted out from the center of the stadium, igniting the entire North Shore Arena.

The Celtics maintained the lineup in the previous few games, with Horford and Oaklini in the interior, Jay Crowder in the small forward, and Thomas and Bradley in the outside.

Danny has been striving to trade until Tang Shuai. After the transaction failed, he chose to maintain his current lineup and did not perform any major surgery on the team.

The Lakers' lineup is no different from the previous games, but it is worth mentioning that Gasol also came to Boston with the team this time. Although he is still more than half a month or even a month away from his comeback, he no longer has to cultivate at home.

Amid the cheers of fans at the scene, the players from both sides officially made their debut, and the second season confrontation of Green Shirts and Purple Gold officially kicked off at the North Shore Garden Arena.

The commentator on the scene was Mike Gorman, and the guest commentator Rick Barry from espn.

"Rick, this match is extremely exciting. Who do you think may win this game in the end?" At the beginning of the game, Goreman asked Barry. As a senior commentator of the Celtics, he is even older than Barry and seems to be unrestrained when speaking.

"Mike, I think the focus of our attention today shouldn't be Don't's free throw?" Barry said with a smile.

At this opening, Gorman couldn't help laughing. From his perspective, he explained the game for more than ten years. He has seen a long time. There are not many outside players who were cut down, but like Tang Shuai, he is unheard of formidable superstars in the MVP rankings.

"Mike, why don't we follow the trend and guess how many balls Tang will lose in this game?" Barry said with a smile. As a well-known "Tang Hei" in the league, he obviously would not miss such an excellent opportunity.

"Haha, Rick, that's a game for young people. Don't participate in old men like us." Gorman explained for more than ten years and was somewhat graceful.

"I guess 10 times. Based on my understanding of Brad, he will definitely not be too light." Barry chose to ignore Gorman's words and said to himself.

"Maybe, I hope both sides can perform well." Gorman said with a smile.

While the two were talking in the comment seat, the first quarter of the two sides had already started.

As soon as they came up, the two sides fought a wonderful offensive and defensive battle.

But in terms of paper strength, the Lakers with Coach Tang are stronger, but the Celtics are ranked third in the East, obviously relying on not only paper strength, but their team cooperation is the strength.

Moreover, compared with the first encounter at the beginning of the season, the Celtics' defensive end has made much better progress in assisted rotation than before.

The two teams played a fair match at the beginning.

However, when Tang Shuai got out, the Celtics took the opportunity to shoot an attacking wave. At the end of the first quarter, they led by a two-digit score 32-22.

Because he was behind a lot of points, and in order to avoid being cut in the first quarter, Tang Shuai was replaced earlier than usual, so he was replaced and played again at the beginning of the second quarter.

This is equivalent to him playing with four substitutes.

On the Celtic side, Stevens did not arrange Thomas to play, but just put Bradley on the court, and other positions were regular rotations.

After Tang Shuai came on the court, he looked at the score. When he arrived in the frontcourt, he took advantage of Mozgov's pick-and-roll and raised his hand and pulled it out.

"Bang!"

Mozgov's pick-and-roll was very good, but Tang Shuai's move lacked a little luck. After all, McGrady pulled out the bag and was not a 100% hit in the open position.

Fortunately, Mozgov was very powerful, and after breaking the ball, he went to the basket. He then pressed Zell with his body and took the rebounds into the bag.

After Billups clarified the playing style with Tang Shuai as the core, other Lakers players developed the reaction to look for Tang Shuai after getting the ball. Mozgov won the offensive rebound and turned around and gave it out.

When Tang Shuai received the ball, he took three big steps and rushed towards the basket.

Mozgov used his body to block Zele tightly behind him.

Tang Shuai took the ball and jumped, followed by a powerful double-handed dunk.

There was a turmoil at the scene.

Stevens got up from the coach's seat and walked to the sidelines. This kind of dunk was a big blow to the team's morale.

The Celtics' offense, Smart and Rozier played a wonderful cooperation in the lottery, and the latter cut the ball from the empty basket to get the ball ready to respond to a dunk.

However, he obviously underestimated Mozgov's size. He didn't have to jump up and directly pushed the ball there, pushing him down.

There was an uproar at the scene. Rozier was young after all, so he was still a little bit short of his judgment.

The referee did not whistle, and Rozier lost the ball was taken by Grant, and Grant gave it to Tang Shuai in the fast break. Tang Shuai faced Bradley's defense, and a beautiful dribble behind the back, followed by a fake pass and real attack to gain offensive space, followed by a light basket.

In the Celtics' offense, Smart quickly rushed to the basket with a pick-and-roll, and a beautiful pass was given to Bradley, who raised his hand and took a three-pointer.

"Bang!"

Three-pointers were not Bradley's strengths. Bradley's shot lacked a trace of stability, and the rebound eventually jumped out of the basket.

The rebound bounced directly into Tang Shuai's hands on the outside. After Tang Shuai took the ball, he quickly advanced. Facing the double defense of Bradley and Gerald Green, he used the method of scored by the man and scored, and the trend of rushing into the three-point line was still unabated. One step inside the free throw line was a performance-oriented 360° dunk.

The Lakers' bench towel men rushed to the sidelines with towels and waved hard.
