super point guard

Chapter 35 Departure
The next morning, when Xu Nuo's figure appeared on the balcony of his room, he had something extra in his hand: the local Indianapolis newspaper.

Xu Nuo usually doesn't read newspapers very much, but today is an exception.One of the main reasons for promising to read the morning paper was to find out how the Indianapolis news media viewed him, admiring him or belittling him.However, when he saw the sports section of the newspaper, he saw that the photo of himself knocking down Gilbert Arenas in last night's game was placed in the most eye-catching place of the title, and a line of small characters below the picture read Author: The place where the new legend started, and the main text used a lot of space to introduce his performance in the game.

"Hey!" Xu Nuo couldn't help smiling, and said to himself, "It seems that my performance has not disappointed everyone."

"Today's newspaper has written a long article about the young master." The maid Jennifer walked into the room at some point and said standing behind Xu Xu.

Xu Nuo was taken aback, "Please knock on the door next time when you come in." He said.

"Oh, sorry," Jennifer said with an apologetic smile, "I'll pay attention next time."

"Have you read today's newspaper?" Xu Nuo asked.

"Well," Jennifer nodded while making the bed for Xu Nuo, "I read it a little bit. I read it while I was making breakfast, so I didn't read much. I just read the articles related to the young master."

"It seems that they think highly of me." Xu Nuo couldn't help but say with a little complacency.

"Journalists like this," Jennifer said, straightening up after making the bed. "When you do well, they praise you to the sky, and when you do badly, they start to treat you again." Use verbal and written criticism. It is better not to believe some of the things written by reporters."

"It sounds like you know a lot about this." Xu Nuo looked at Jennifer and said.

"It's so-so," Jennifer said with a smile, "My dad used to be a reporter, and he's almost retiring now, but my brother has already worked in a newspaper, so it's no problem to take over my dad's position in the future. "

"Oh..." Xu Nuo nodded, "That's no wonder."

Jennifer smiled, and continued: "My father doesn't like letting me continue to be a reporter. I thought he would let me be a reporter at first, so..."

"So you came out to be a nanny?" Xu Nuo continued.

"To be honest, my parents don't support me doing this," Jennifer said with a smile, "but..."

Before Jennifer finished speaking, the voice of Xu Nuo's mother calling for Jennifer came from downstairs, "Madam, I'll be right there!" Jennifer replied, then turned around and smiled at Xu Nuo, "I will Let's talk again." After Jennifer finished speaking, she turned around and walked out gracefully.

Xu Nuo managed to look away from the door, when Jennifer had just walked out of the room.Xu Nuo put down the newspaper in his hand, stood up and took a deep breath, leaned on the railing and began to look at the scenery.

Since he will leave for China tomorrow to participate in the NBA China Game, Indiana Pacers head coach Larry Brown did not arrange any training today, which can be regarded as a reward for the players to win last night's game.Without training, Xu Nuo's life today becomes very comfortable, but time passes too slowly.Upstairs in Xu Xu's room, Xu Nuo's mother and Jennifer are packing the luggage for Xu Xu when he goes to China.Just as Xu Nuo was about to go to the court to play, his cell phone rang, and it was Derek Williams calling.

"Hey, man!" Derek Williams yelled as soon as Xu Nuo pressed the answer button, "Congratulations!"

"Congratulations?" Xu Nuo pretended not to understand what Derek Williams said, "Congratulate me for what?"

"Don't pretend to be confused," Derek Williams said. "What else can I congratulate you for, of course, congratulations on your outstanding performance in the game last night!"

"Oh..." Xu Nuo said in a somewhat exaggerated tone, "So it's because of this. Yesterday's game was really so-so, and I can play better."

"The performance of 13 points and 12 assists is still so-so?" Derek Williams sounded a little surprised. "In this case, my performance is nothing."

"By the way, I haven't heard any reports about you yet," Xu Nuo said, "You guys also had a game last night, didn't you? How did you play, buddy?"

"Hey," Derek Williams said with a sigh, "don't mention it. Coach Adelman didn't trust me at all. He only let me play for less than 10 minutes. What do you think I can do?"

"Everything has to be done slowly." Xu Nuo comforted Derek Williams.

"I really envy you!" Derek Williams said on the other end of the phone.

"Envy me?" The promise was really incomprehensible this time, "What do you envy me for?"

"Of course I envy you for having a good coach." Derek Williams said angrily.

"Coach Adelman is also very good, he is also a good coach." Xu Nuo said.

"He's a good coach," Derek Williams said, "but it would be nice if he gave me more opportunities."

"No problem," Xu promised, "as long as you work hard, I think Coach Adelman will give you more opportunities."

"Hey..." Derek Williams sighed again, "I never thought that I, a dignified No. 10 pick in the NBA, would play less than [-] minutes."

"It's useless to complain," Xu Nuo said, he was getting impatient, "We are all rookies, we have to start from scratch, I believe you will play better in the future. By the way, what are you doing now? ?”

"We just finished training, and I called you," Derek Williams said. "How about you?"

"We didn't train today, because tomorrow we will leave for China to participate in the NBA China Game." Xu Nuo said.

"Really?" Derek Williams said pleasantly. "I wish I could go too."

"There will be opportunities in the future." Xu Nuo said.

After finishing chatting with Derek Williams, Xu Nuo received another call, this time from Danny Granger, and Danny Granger also brought good news.

"Hey, promise, guess what I'm calling you for?" Danny Granger said beamingly on the other end of the phone.

Danny Granger's words confused Xu Nuo, "How do I know what you are calling for?" ?”

"I've been to China once," Danny Granger said, "I'm fairly familiar with China, but this time I'm not calling you for that."

"What is that for?" Xu Nuo really didn't understand.

"Our team has just completed another transaction." Danny Granger finally said the business.

"Oh, is that so?" Xu Nuo immediately became interested, "Who is here this time?" He asked.

"DeMar DeRozan." Danny Granger said simply.

"DeMar DeRozan?" Xu Nuo was taken aback, "This can't be true, can it?"

"Of course it's true," Danny Granger said. "We traded backup point guard AJ Price and backup power forward Solomon Jones for shooting guard DeMar DeRozan."

"Price left the team?" Xu Nuo was taken aback.

"Yeah, what's the matter?" Danny Granger asked.

"So Darren Collison and I are the only two point guards on the team?" Promise said.

"And George Hill," said Danny Granger.

"Oh, yes." Xu Nuo nodded, how could he have forgotten about George Hill, "I will leave for China tomorrow, will DeMar go with the team?" Xu Nuo asked.

"Not tomorrow, because DeMar has not passed the medical examination, but we should be able to play together after returning from China." Danny Granger said.

"So what about Price and the others?" Xu Nuo then asked.

"They will not go to China with the team." Danny Granger said.

"Oh..." Xu Nuo said.

"Get ready," said Danny Granger, "see you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow." Xu Nuo said and hung up the phone.

After hearing the news that DeRozan was about to join the team, Xu Nuo was eager to play with DeRozan, and going to China to participate in the NBA China Game became secondary instead.But despite this, the moment to set off for China has come.

Before rendezvous with the team, Xu Nuo always thought that he didn't need to prepare much, and he didn't need to bring a lot of things, but when he was about to leave for the Conseco Arena, the home stadium of the Pacers, he found that his mother was in his luggage. There's just too much stuff in the box.So, despite her mother's objection, Xu Nuo took out many things that seemed useless to her from the suitcase, so that the suitcase was much lighter.What Xu Nuo didn't expect was that Jennifer seemed to agree with Xu Nuo's doing so.

After that, on the way to the Conseco Arena, Xu Nuo has been talking with George Hill about the impact of DeMar DeRozan's joining on the team. They agreed that DeMar DeRozan's joining will make The team's perimeter offensive firepower has been significantly improved, promising to hope that their team coach Larry Brown thinks so too.

After about an hour, Xu Nuo finally boarded the flight to China with the team, the destination: China, Shanghai!
