Chapter 16 Players' Locker Room

When Promise and Danny Granger pushed through the maroon door and walked into the Indiana Pacers locker room, the locker room was already occupied.

Xu Nuo saw a taller black player sitting in front of his locker lacing his sneakers. When Xu Nuo walked in, the man looked up at them.

"Hi, Brandon." Danny Granger greeted the black player.

"Hello, Danny." The black player nodded and said, then tilted his head to look at the promise next to Danny Granger.

"I don't think you know him yet," Danny Granger said enthusiastically to the black player. "This is the rookie player on our team, the point guard from China. Promise. Promise, this is Brandon." Rush, one of our backup shooting guards, of course, was a backup, but he actually played almost as well as the starter."

Xu Nuo nodded, he knew that the black player in front of him was Brandon Rush, even though he had never met Rush before.Xu Nuo stepped forward and shook hands with Brandon Rush, and said, "My name is Xu Nuo, please give me your advice, senior."

Brandon Rush didn't stand up from his chair, but sat and shook hands with Xu Nuo. His attitude didn't look very good, so Xu Nuo didn't say much.Danny Granger saw this and thought it might be that Brandon Rush was worried that the promise would have an impact on his position in the team.Danny Granger knew it wouldn't be like this in the recent period, but despite this, in order to break the slightly awkward atmosphere, Danny Granger asked Brandon Rush with a smile: " Are there any other players in the arena?"

"Yes," Brandon Rush didn't buy the promise, but he still didn't dare to neglect the team boss, "Darren is practicing in the arena."

"Darren?" Xu Nuo asked, "Is it Darren Collison?"

"Yes, rookie," said Brandon Rush.

Xu Nuo wanted to meet Darren Collison on the court very much. Danny Granger saw that Xu Nuo wanted to change clothes and go to the training ground, so he smiled and said to Xu Nuo: "Don't be in such a hurry to go to the training ground, wait a little longer , let you meet everyone, and then it’s not too late for everyone to go to the training ground together.”

At this time, Xu Nuo had already taken off the sports coat on his body. Hearing what Danny Granger said, he stopped, found his locker, and hung up his clothes.

The Indiana Pacers' locker room is rectangular. The players' lockers are located on three sides of it, and a small blackboard is installed on the other side for the team's head coach to explain tactics to the players.The promised locker is located in the middle side facing the door of the locker room, and it is the third locker from the left.The lockers on both sides of the locker room, facing the locker room door and next to the locker room door are the lockers of the team's veterans, such as James Posey, Jeff Foster and Mike Dunleavy.To the left of the promised locker is Roy Hibbert's locker, and to the right is Taylor Hansbrough's locker.Xu Nuo glanced at Brandon Rush, who was separated by three lockers, and sat down to prepare his training clothes.

At this moment, there was a sound of heavy footsteps coming from the door of the locker room, Xu Nuo couldn't help raising his head, wondering which new teammate had arrived this time.As the footsteps got closer, Xu Nuo saw a big white player appear at the door of the locker room.

The player seemed to have seen Xu Xu as soon as he stepped into the locker room. After greeting Danny Granger and Brandon Rush, he came directly to Xu Nuo.

"You're the new player promise?" he said. "My name is Josh, Josh McRoberts."

"Hello, Josh." Xu Nuo said.

At this time, another voice sounded at the door: "Xuanuo? Who is Xunuo?"

Xu Nuo looked at the door of the locker room, and saw a player who was higher than Xu Nuo walk in. "Who is the promise?" he asked.

So Xu Nuo walked up to that person, "My name is Xu Nuo, please give me your advice." He said.

"So you are the promise!" the man said loudly, "I finally found someone younger than me in the team."

Xu Nuo opened his eyes wide.

Danny Granger laughed, "His name is Paul George. He and Lance Stephenson used to be the two youngest players on our team. We often joked about them." Danny Granger Said, "After Lance left, Paul was the youngest player on the team, so he is the happiest when you come."

"Are you from 1991?" Paul George promised.

Promise nodded.

"I'm a year older than you," Paul George said with a smile.

"Then I would like to ask senior to give me some advice." Xu Nuo also said with a smile.

"It's not advisable to teach," said Paul George, "but you've got to work now."

"What kind of work?" Xu Nuo asked, thinking that he still had to work.

"Moving training equipment," Paul George said.

So Xu Nuo had no choice but to walk out of the locker room. There were four or five bags of training equipment, and Xu Nuo walked back and forth twice.Promise met Darren Collison and AJ Price on the training ground, but Promise didn't speak much to them.When the promised work was about to be finished, Brandon Rush also came to the training ground.

"Yes, this is the job of a rookie." Brandon Rush looked at Xu Xu and moved the training equipment and said.

Xu Nuo just smiled lightly and didn't say anything.

When Xu returned to the locker room, the locker room was full of excitement. Josh McRoberts stood with another big black player. Xu knew that it was Roy Hibbert, but he felt that the two skin colors Very different people stand together, giving people a very interesting feeling.

"Hey, Xu Nuo, are you done with the work?" Danny Granger looked at Xu Nuo and asked, not knowing what he was eating.

"Yes, it's all done." Xu Nuo said as he walked towards his locker, when he found a plate of grilled chicken wings on the floor in the middle of the locker room.

"Look and see," Paul George, "that's the advantage of being younger than me."

Roy Hibbert laughed, promised to get to know him, and sat in front of his locker.

"In terms of qualifications, I am higher than you." Danny Granger said with a smile.

"But you have James (Posey) and Mike (Dunleavy) on top of you." Roy Hibbert said.

"Didn't Mike want to leave the team?" Josh McRoberts asked.

"It's not clear, but I guess we won't see him in our lineup this season." Danny Granger said.

"Oh..." said Paul George, "what a pity!"

"Is David West coming?" Roy Hibbert then asked.

"Perhaps," said Danny Granger.

"So I'm going to be a substitute!" Josh McRoberts said with a sigh.

These few people were talking and laughing while eating the few grilled chicken wings in the dressing room. The plate of grilled chicken wings on the ground was quickly wiped out, so they promised to take it and go to the kitchen to ask for some back. , It can be regarded as the first time to work for old players.While they were joking, two or three more people entered the locker room, namely shooting guard Dengtai Jones, point guard George Hill and power forward Tyler Hansbrough.

So the locker room immediately became lively, and all three of them met with Xu Nuo.From Xu Nuo's point of view, George Hill doesn't seem to be very good at words, while Deng Tai Jones is too good at words, forming two extremes with George Hill.Tyler Hansbrough looked out of sorts, as if he had just gotten out of bed.Duntay Jones was a veteran for his age, but still talked and laughed like a young man.

"Hey, aren't the old guys James (Posey) and Jeff (Foster) here?" exclaimed Danny Jones, "They bet me the other day that they would You came earlier than me, so I asked for my old bones so early. However, I will definitely win the two pieces of fried chicken legs. Let's see how I fix them when they come. "

But before Dengtai Jones finished speaking, James Posey's voice came from the door of the locker room.

"What is Deng Tai Jones talking about me again?" James Posey said, and walked into the locker room, followed by Jeff Foster.

"You two guys made me come to the arena so early, and I didn't see you. I will definitely win those two pieces of fried chicken legs." Dengtai Jones yelled at the two of them.

"Isn't everyone here? It's not too early." James Posey said.

But Dengtai Jones still clung to the two of them, James Posey had no choice but to ask for two fried chicken legs, Dengtai Jones snatched it, but handed Xu Nuo another one.

The last team to come to the locker room was small forward Mike Dunleavy, who had been talking about leaving the team, and center Solomon Jones.The arrival of Mike Dunleavy immediately made the locker room quiet. From Xu Nuo's point of view, the players still respect Dunleavy.As for whether Dunleavy will leave the team, promise is unknown, and of course he didn't ask.

Center Solomon Jones gave Xu Nuo a good impression. Xu Nuo feels that he is a very honest person who can be classified with George Hill and Josh McRoberts. Xu Nuo thinks he will establish a relationship with Solomon Jones. Great relationship, both on and off the field.The 12 players gathered in the locker room, chatting and laughing with each other, seemed to have a great rapport, promising to hope that the rapport was more than superficial.

By the time everyone realizes that Darren Collison and Brandon Rush aren't in the locker room, it's almost time for practice to start.Promise to follow everyone to the players' massage room to massage and relax the body, so as to prepare for the subsequent training.Then, his first official NBA practice is about to begin.
