Chapter 14 Promising a New House for the Family

Shortly after Xu Nuo signed with the Indiana Pacers, and before the Indiana Pacers' NBA training camp started, the Xu Nuo family finally moved into the big house they had already set their eyes on, so they never had to live again. In the hotel.

The promised family's house is located on the banks of the Ohio River in the urban area of ​​Indianapolis, almost on the edge of downtown Indianapolis.The urban area of ​​Indianapolis looks like a square shape, with Indiana Speedway, where the famous 500-mile car race is held, to the west, and fields to the east, and the promised home is just a little outside the city center. In the northwest, there are patches of green land, and the promised home is built next to this large green land, next to the Ohio River.It's not too far from here to Conseco Arena, the home stadium of the Indiana Pacers, and you can get there quickly by car.He promised that he could not drive yet, and of course he has no plans to buy a car for the time being, even though he knows that many NBA players drive their own cars, and some players even collect cars. in this way.

The promised home is a two-story villa with a small but very clean courtyard.Open the iron fence door of the yard and walk in, you can see a small road paved with individual stones, leading directly to the door of the building, and it spreads out in all directions in the yard like a spider web , connecting to other places in the yard.On the left side of the building, there is a large green area. The green grass is spread out in the yard like a carpet. Only in this season, a few plants in the grass begin to turn yellow, but they give people the feeling that they are It is green in all seasons in spring, summer, autumn and winter.On the lawn, we can see a small gazebo with a small round table and a few chairs under it. It should be a very comfortable thing to chat here or close your eyes to rest your mind.If we are willing to walk a few more steps and bypass this large lawn, we can see the garage built under the left side of the building. Of course, there are no cars parked in the garage now. There is a flat road from the garage door. Another gate leading directly to the yard.When we get to the garage, we can see the Ohio River not far away, and even a lush scene across the river. The bright green and gentle blue are intertwined, forming a wonderful landscape picture , It makes people feel very relaxed and happy, even if there are many worrying things in my heart, they will disappear in smoke.And go further from the garage, to the back of the house, we can see a basketball court and a swimming pool.The basketball court was originally just a tennis court, but it was converted into a basketball court under the promised request, and the Indiana Pacers team logo was printed on the basketball court floor.There are also patches of lawn around the swimming pool, and there is also a place for people to rest near the swimming pool.If we sit here after swimming and look at the Ohio River and the scenery on the other side, it will be a great joy in life.

It should be said that the courtyard of Xu Nuo's house is not very big, but it is very comfortable.The same is true of their house, although it is not very big and luxurious, it is very comfortable.

The whole building is painted in maroon, which is also one of Xu Nuo's favorite colors.Walking from the path paved with small stones to the building, and entering the interior of the house, there is a spacious living room facing you. The floor is covered with a patterned red carpet, which feels very comfortable to step on.In the living room, there is a small table with a small glass top, surrounded by sofas, and there is a color TV.There is also a kitchen and bathroom on the first floor, as well as other bedrooms that are not used very often.The stairs leading to the second floor are on the right side of the living room. The stairs are covered with golden carpets, and the floors in the corridors on the second floor are also covered with such golden carpets.The main rooms in the house are on the second floor, including the promised family's bedroom, plus a huge movie theater, a hairdresser's room, and a bar.Standing on the balcony of promise's bedroom, promise can also see the Ohio River not far away and the scenery across the river.The house cost less than $100 million when the promise family bought it, of course because the promise doesn't have much money now.

Not long after Xu Nuo moved into the house, Xu Nuo invited his two good friends, Joey Dorsey and Steve Novak, to his home.Although the training camps of all NBA teams are about to start, and the players are busy training, Dorsey and the others were invited to Indianapolis.Although the two had seen many NBA players' mansions, when they saw the promised home, they still couldn't stop praising the quietness and comfort of the courtyard.Steve Novak said he would pay more for it, but Promise just smiled and joked with the two of them.

Xu Nuo's mother is preparing meals for their guests in the kitchen. Although Xu Nuo's family hired a nanny to help them with the work, Xu Nuo's mother is still willing to cook by herself to prepare Chinese food for their guests, because the American nanny Jennifer can't cook Chinese food at all.While Xu Nuo's mother was preparing the meals, Xu Nuo and his two best friends competed on the basketball court in the yard.

In fact, since the summer league, Xu Nuo has rarely touched a basketball, and it is the first time Xu Nuo has picked up a basketball since this period of time.On the court, Xu Nuo competed with Steve Novak for outside three-point shots. To Xu Nuo's surprise, Steve Novak's three-point shooting percentage was very high, almost every shot must be hit, while his own three-point shots The scoring is a little worse.Although Xu Nuo is not a player who is good at three-point shooting, as a point guard, it is unreasonable to have poor outside shots, and the three-point shooting percentage is not as good as that of a power forward, which is even more unreasonable.Furthermore, Xu Nuo's idol, Steve Nash, also has a high three-point shooting percentage, so Xu Nuo made up his mind to practice his outside three-point shooting.

But Nuo and Joey Dorsey and Steve Novak are not players in the same position, Xu is a point guard, and both of them are power forwards, although Steve Novak is a three Inside players who are good at scoring the ball, so they can't play one-on-one street bullfights at all, but there are some confrontations between Joey Dorsey and Steve Novak.But Joey Dorsey is not an offensive player, and Steve Novak is not a pure basket player, so it is not interesting to watch the confrontation between the two.Xu Nuo stood aside, but kept looking at his father who was drinking tea in the gazebo not far away, and began to envy him in his heart.Just then, the maid Jennifer came and promised them to have lunch.

Lunch was Chinese food cooked by Xu Nuo's mother. Joey Dorsey and Steve Novak both ate Chinese food for the first time, and they both ate with gusto. Just because they don't know how to use Chinese chopsticks very much, some jokes were made, but the dinner was very harmonious.After the meal, Xu Nuo and the three of them sat on chairs near the swimming pool, looking at the Ohio River not far away.The promised parents sat in the gazebo on the lawn, enjoying the peaceful afternoon.

At this time, the maid Jennifer brought them iced drinks.

"Hey, buddy, what's that girl's name?" Joey Dorsey took the lemonade from Jennifer, watched her go away, and asked promise.

"Jennifer," Promise said, "what's the matter?" he asked.

"The little girl is beautiful!" said Joey Dorsey.

"I didn't expect a big, stupid guy like you to know what is beautiful." Steve Novak sighed and Xu Nuo laughed.

"Of course I know what is beautiful." Joey Dorsey said, promising to feel that he was not good at words.

"Don't you have a fancy for someone?" Steve Novak jokingly said to Joey Dorsey.

"You've got your eye on him," said Joey Dorsey, laughing. "I think a white kid like you would be just right for that Jennifer."

"Don't talk nonsense!" Steve Novak said with a serious face.

"Steve this guy, he already has a girlfriend." Joey Dorsey whispered to Xu Nuo.

But Steve Novak heard what Joey Dorsey said, "If you like someone, just say it, why are you so oblique," Steve Novak said, "However, even if If you have a crush on him, you have to ask Xu Nuo if he is willing."

So Joey Dorsey began to ask Promise: "Man, do you have a girl you like?"

Xu Nuo suddenly remembered that his good friend Derek Williams had also asked this question, and then realized that he was too busy recently and had not contacted Derek Williams for a long time, so Xu Nuo decided when to call Derek Williams Williams was also invited to be a guest.He looked at Dorsey, smiled faintly, and shook his head.

"No way?" Steve Novak was taken aback.

"I'm serious." Xu Nuo said.

"Brother, I think that Jennifer is pretty good." Joey Dorsey said to Xu Nuo with a smile.

Xu Nuo looked at Jennifer's back, "Let's forget it." He said.

Both Steve Novak and Joey Dorsey looked disappointed.

"Right now I don't want to think about relationships," Xu Nuo said, "I still have to focus on my career."

"Having said that, for us, love and career are almost the same thing." Steve Novak said.

But promise still shook his head.

After three o'clock in the afternoon, Joey Dorsey and Steve Novak left, thanking the Xu Nuo family for their hospitality.After they left, Xu Nuo picked up his cell phone and called Derek Williams.

"You guy, finally called me." Derek Williams' voice came over.

"I've been so busy recently that I don't have time," Xu Nuo said, "I just have some time now."

"I know," said Derek Williams, "it's a signing thing? How about it?"

"It went well." Xu Nuo said, "How about you?"

"Not bad," Derek Williams said.

"I bought a new house in Indianapolis, come and play when you have time?" Xu Nuo invited.

"Okay!" Derek Williams said excitedly, "maybe I'll go during the season."

"Okay," Promise said, knowing that Derek Williams meant going to Indianapolis when he was traveling with the team.

"Contact me when I have time, I'm going to start training." Derek Williams said on the phone.

"Okay!" Xu Nuo said.

After hanging up the phone, Xu Nuo felt guilty for a while. Everyone was training hard, but he almost stopped himself.So Xu Nuo picked up the basketball and returned to the basketball court.
