Chapter 39 39. The reaction after the game, the end of the preseason!

与勇士的这场比赛里，唐德拿下了23分14助攻5篮板3抢断3盖帽的恐怖数据！
For the report card handed over by Tang De, it is hard to overstate it!
That night, various media in the United States reported it one after another, and this was simply explosive news for them.

Before the game was over, all kinds of news about Tang De had been overwhelming!
As the protagonist, Tang De was in the limelight for a while!

Not only in China, but also various local media in the United States reported even more. They have never seen a Chinese perform such a performance in the NBA!

"Los Angeles Times": Will the young Tang De be the future of the Lakers?Can he team up with Kobe to win the championship trophy for the Lakers?
"The Lakers showed super toughness at the last moment of the game today, especially Tang De. Although this is only a preseason game, the fans can see the unwillingness in Curry's eyes!"

"We are looking forward to what kind of height Kobe will bring the Lakers to with Tang De after he comes back!"

"..."

"..."

Immediately after the "Los Angeles Times" published this article, there was a strong response.

Fans left messages one after another, not only approving Tang De's performance, but also applauding the Lakers' decision to renew Tang De's contract!

CBS Sports: Tang De let the fans see the hope of the Lakers' resurgence!
"In this game, Tang De of the Lakers scored super comprehensive statistics. It's hard not to associate him with Kobe!"

"Kobe's spirit of never admitting defeat is vividly reflected in Tang De!"

Yahoo Sports: Tang De, a super rookie from the East!

Bay Area News: Point guard?forward?What is Tang De's position on the field?
……

……

This topic given by the Bay Area News is one of the most hotly discussed in all news.

Regarding Tang De's performance on the field, the fans were indeed a little confused!
Let's say Tang De is a forward, how can there be a forward who only focuses on passing the ball?Even sent so many assists!

And when Tang De left the court, the Lakers' offensive rhythm became a little chaotic, and they even fell into an embarrassing situation of infinite singles.

Is this how LeBron James plays?
Some fans even commented like this!
If Tang De is a point guard, it doesn't seem like it!

In the end, the unanimous opinion given by the fans is that Tang De is a point forward!

Tang De still likes the position of point forward.

He is not the kind of player who has a deep obsession with scoring, he cares more about winning.

As long as the team wins, anything goes!
Three days later, the second game between the Lakers and the Warriors started!
In this game, the Lakers are still the one with the last laugh. Although Stephen Curry scored 40+ points again, the Lakers are helpless.

Under Tang De's tandem, the Lakers blossomed more, hit 18 three-pointers in the game, and finally took the game with a 12-point advantage.

The Lakers completed this year's China game with victories in both races. The team management, including head coach D'Antoni, expressed their satisfaction with this.

Especially Tang De's performance, D'Antoni was already grinning from ear to ear.

D'Antoni even made it clear to the outside world: Tang De is the most suitable player for his tactical system, and he will definitely do his best to train Tang De!

What D'Antoni said is absolutely true. His favorite in his life is a player who moves fast and can pass the ball.

Such as the type of Nash and Harden.

And now Tang De has an extra defense!
Tang Dede's defensive level is much better than Harden and Nash.

Harden is a little better, but there is a problem with his defensive attitude, but Nash is different. Nash on the court is a defensive black hole!
The general manager of the team, Kupchak, also praised Tang De very much. He even posted a photo of him and Tang De on his social media.

And accompanying text: Young heart, mature style of play, keep working hard, China Tang!

After the game, Kobe also updated his personal social media: All Lakers, you performed very well, you won a difficult game, Don, congratulations on winning consecutive games at your home court!
The boss tweeted it, and of course all the younger brothers of the Lakers liked and forwarded it one after another.

And Tang De forwarded Kobe's news to his Weibo, and then quietly watched the number of his Weibo fans soar...

After playing two games, the Lakers did not stay for long!

Tang De took his teammates around the country, and after having a close interaction with the fans, he flew back to the United States the next day!
Tang De also wanted to stay in the country for a few more days, because the fans were simply too enthusiastic.

Tang De likes this feeling so much!

It's just that time doesn't allow it!
They have to go back to continue training, their preseason is not over yet!

……

"Tang, how do you feel? I think your confidence should be much stronger after passing this China competition?"

On the plane, Kobe and Tang De were sitting in adjacent seats and communicating.

"Of course, Kobe, this China game is really important to me, the fans are so enthusiastic, I am a little bit reluctant to leave!"

Tang De said half-jokingly.

"Also, although this is only a preseason game, I think the intensity of the game is still there, especially Stephen Curry, he played really too seriously. For me, I need this kind of game to exercise my field. Up state!"

"He played seriously? I think you are the one who played the most seriously, right? You guy, you defended Stephen very well. It feels so good to see him being blocked by you!"

"Also, the fans in China are really enthusiastic. I have been here many times, and I will definitely come here again whenever I have the opportunity!"

"Then it's done, boss, next time I will come together!"

The two clapped their hands together, ending the relaxed chat.

Long-distance flight is a very painful thing, at least Tang De thinks so.

He hates the feeling of flying, and there are always all kinds of uncomfortable feelings in his ears. Every time he plays an away game, Tang De has a terrible headache...

After hanging up the earphones, Tang De quickly fell asleep. He was too tired these days, not only to play games, but also to face various interviews!

……

In the last game of the preseason, the Lakers' opponent was the Utah Jazz.

After the Jazz sent away Deron Williams, they collapsed directly. In the 11-12 season, they made the playoffs, which once made the fans very happy.

They even think that without Deron, the team can still play very well, but it turns out that it is just because of their luck.

They wouldn't be possible without Deron!

They were squeezed out of the playoffs by the Lakers and Rockets last season. After getting the No. 9 pick, they selected Trey Burke, who has been performing well since then!

The Lakers, who had won two consecutive victories before, were in full swing. Under the leadership of Tang De, they easily won the game again in Salt Lake City!
