Chapter 34

Back in the players' locker room after the Orlando Magic game, Xu Nuo thought they could go straight home now, but when he returned from the shower, he realized he had to deal with the news media interview.Fortunately, it is only a preseason game now, not many people are paying attention to the game, and the only ones who are waiting for an interview promise are a local media in Indianapolis and a reporter from the "Basketball Pioneer" who thinks they are from China.

"Excuse me, excuse me!" Xu Nuo yelled loudly, squeezing past the reporters' bodies to his dressing room.

When the reporters heard Xu Nuo's cry, they couldn't help making way for Xu Nuo to walk past.However, when the reporters saw clearly that the person who came was the promise of making a free throw lore in this game, they flocked to the promised locker room. The reporter who was originally interviewing Danny Granger They also ran over at this time.

"Wait a minute!" Xu Nuo shouted at the reporters. He knew that these reporters were all coming to interview him, and he didn't want to face the reporters like this before he got dressed.After Xu Nuo took care of his long shampoo-scented hair and put on his sportswear, he said, "Okay, we can start the interview."

Although Xu Nuo is only a rookie player, he behaved much more mature than those other rookie players when responding to reporters' interviews.But those reporters are not concerned about these, but the preseason game that just ended, and the two lore free throws that Xu made at the last minute of the game.

"How do you feel about tonight's game?" a reporter began to ask.

As soon as the poor reporter's words came out of his mouth, there was a burst of laughter from the crowd.Xu Nuo also smiled, because the question was actually very unartistic, which made Xu Nuo wonder if the reporter was a newcomer like him.Although Xu Nuo thought so in his heart, he was answering the poor reporter's question with his mouth.

"I feel that I played very well in this game," Xu Nuo said, "It was very easy and there was no pressure. After all, this is just an ordinary preseason game. Although our opponent is the mighty Orlando Magic, But I felt the game was easy, really, easy."

The reporters all laughed, and then someone started asking questions.

"You suppressed the Magic's excellent point guard Jameer Nelson very well in tonight's game. I don't know how you comment on this?" The reporter from the "Basketball Pioneer" asked.

"Jamil Nelson is a very good point guard. He can dribble, shoot, assist, and break through. He also participated in the NBA Finals. He is a great player. I have always respected him. Xu Nuo replied, "I did play well against him tonight, but I just did what I should do, it's as simple as that."

"Everyone is talking about whether you're going to be the next John Stockton or the next 'Pistol' Pete Maravich or the next 'Magic' Johnson. What do you think of this?" asked the local media reporter who had been waiting for an interview.

"I'm glad you asked me that question, buddy." Xu Nuo said with a smile, "But don't get me wrong, I didn't mean to compare me with those great predecessors. All I can say is, I just want Be me, not the next so-and-so, I will always be me."

"Tonight's game is your first preseason game. Does it have any special meaning for you?" The reporter from China continued to ask.

"Is it meaningful?" Xu Nuo nodded slightly and said, "If it comes to the significance of the game, I think my first regular season game or my first playoff game will be more meaningful than this preseason game." It's much bigger. Of course, it does have its own meaning. After all, this game is the first time I really compete with NBA players. It made me realize what a real NBA player is like. Yes, it also made me see the gap between myself and others. As for the meaning of this game, I think it means more to the domestic fans.”

"Let's talk about Danny Granger," said another reporter. "Granger scored the highest points of the team tonight, but we all noticed that most of his points came from your pass. ball."

"Danny is a very great player and a good leader. It is precisely because of his outstanding performance that we can beat our opponents." Xu Nuo said with a smile, "And as you said that most of Danny's points are From my passes, I can only say at this point, if it weren't for his scoring, I wouldn't have got so many assists."

The reporters all laughed, and at this time a reporter asked a new question: "You successfully beat the Magic tonight, and this is likely to be the front page of the news tomorrow morning. What do you think about killing free throws?"

This question aroused the interest of those reporters: finally someone mentioned the game-winning shot!So everyone raised their spirits again, looked at Xu Nuo, and prepared to record every word Xu Nuo said.

"It's great to be able to hit the game-winning shot at the end of the game, but it's just two ordinary free throws in the game." Xu Nuo said, "You know, we were one behind the Magic at that time. points, if I miss the free throw, there is a good chance we will lose to the Magic, or go to overtime, and we have a chance to win directly in regulation, why don't we take it? I don't want to continue Overtime. I hope I can make more clutch shots for the team in the future, and I hope that's what I'm worth coming to this team."

"Last question!" the Pacers' team publicist yelled.

"Talk about the upcoming China game," the reporter from "Basketball Pioneer" said loudly, "During the China game, you will go to China with the team again. How does it feel to return to your hometown to play games? ?”

"China competition?" Xu Nuo frowned.

"Yes," said the reporter who asked the question, "the team will go to China to play the China game next."

"Oh, yes." Xu Nuo nodded, before tonight's game he looked at the team's preseason schedule, how could he forget. "It is of course great to be able to return to China to play games," Xu Nuo continued, "It has always been my dream to play in front of the folks, and now my dream is finally coming true, and I can't wait to go back to China. "

The reporters all laughed.

"Let's stop here today." The team publicist walked over with a straight face and said.

The reporters reluctantly left the player's locker room, only then did Xu Nuo feel a burst of relief and stretched himself.

"Who are we going to play with in China?" Xu Nuo asked the team's PR.

"It should be the Los Angeles Clippers." The team publicist replied.

"Los Angeles Clippers?" Xu Nuo frowned. "Hey, the NBA really chooses teams. They let the Clippers play in China because they have Blake Griffin on the team."

"I guess that's the way it should be," said the team's publicist.

"To be honest, Blake Griffin is very popular in China!" Xu Nuo said.

The team PR didn't say anything, and walked away.At this time George Hill came over, Xu Nuo nodded at him, and then changed his clothes.

"Good night." Xu Nuo finally said something to his teammates, then turned around and walked out of the locker room with George Hill.

"Are you going anywhere else tonight?" asked George Hill.

"Where can I go?" Xu Nuo said funny, "Go home directly."

Perhaps they were all too tired, and promised to keep silent with George Hill on the way home.It wasn't until he was about to get home that Xu Nuo asked George Hill, "When will we go to China to play the China game, the day after tomorrow?"

"It should start the day after tomorrow," said George Hill, "and play the game the day after arriving in China."

"How many games will you play?" Xu Nuo then asked.

"Two games," George Hill said, "and one more game when we get back to China, and then we're going to get ready for the regular season."

"Oh..." Xu Nuo nodded, "Is there anything to prepare?" He asked.

"Prepare for what?" said George Hill. "There is nothing to prepare."

"You have to prepare things like jerseys and training clothes," Xu Nuo said. "Although this is all about the team, it doesn't hurt to think about it yourself."

"Of course someone on the team will help you take care of those things," George Hill said with a smile, "You don't have to worry about these things, just play your ball well."

As soon as he got home, Xu Nuo told his parents that he was going back to China to compete. After hearing that, his parents seemed to have mixed feelings.

"Aren't you happy that I'm going back to China to play games?" Xu Nuo said, "It's only a few days."

"Of course we are happy that you can return to China to play games," Mom and Dad said, "It's just that you are outside alone, and we are a little worried."

"What else can you worry about?" Xu Nuo said a little impatiently, "I am not going to China alone. Besides, I am an adult now, with my teammates and team staff by my side, I will not go to China alone. What's the matter."

Promise managed to convince his parents that nothing would happen to him in China, and besides, what could happen to him playing in his hometown.When Xu Nuo returned to his bedroom to rest, it was already very late, and Xu Nuo was already so sleepy that he could hardly keep his eyes open.The maid Jennifer had already made the bed for Xu Nuo, and Xu Nuo fell asleep soon after laying down.
