Chapter 42 China Competition BJ Station ([-])
The next morning, the Indiana Pacers came to the Wukesong Arena for training, and Xu Nuo just warmed up with the team and did some usual practice in shooting and dribbling, but when it came time for the teams to fight in groups , Xu Nuo sat on the sidelines.

After these two days of rest and adjustment (although promise walked around BJ city all day yesterday), promise's injury is obviously much better now, and I don't feel my back when I do those usual shooting and dribbling exercises However, the Indiana Pacers team doctor Saunders Conkel still did not allow Xu Nuo to do too much confrontation, so Xu Nuo sat on the sidelines when the team confronted in groups.Not long after Xu Nuo walked to the sidelines and sat down, the team doctor Saunders Conkel ran over, bent over Xu Nuo and carefully checked Xu Nuo's injuries.

"How about the promised injury?" Indiana Pacers head coach Larry Brown asked team doctor Saunders Conkel with some concern.

"It's better," said team doctor Saunders Conkel. "There's nothing wrong with it."

"Have you recovered enough to play?" Coach Larry Brown then asked.

Team doctor Saunders Conkel shook his head, "In order to control the injury, I think it's better not to let promise to engage in high-intensity confrontation now." He said.

"In this way, the promise of tonight's game is still not available?" Coach Brian Shaw, the team's chief assistant coach standing aside, asked.

"That's true." Team doctor Saunders Conkel nodded and said.

"Are you really unable to play tonight?" Xu Nuo asked at this time.

"Do you think you can play tonight?" team doctor Saunders Conkel asked a promise.

Xu Nuo lowered his head and said after a long time: "I feel like I can play."

Team doctor Sanders Conkel shook his head, "I have seen many players like you who want to play with injuries," Sanders Conkel said, "but in most cases, playing with injuries will aggravate the injury. I think you don't need to go into battle with injuries yet."

"It's not necessary," Xu Nuo said in a low voice, "but..."

"But what?" asked team doctor Saunders Conkel.

"However, I always feel that if I don't play, there seems to be something missing in this China game, and there are still many fans waiting to see my performance." Xu Nuo said.

Team doctor Sanders Conkel sighed, "Is this preseason game important, or is your body important?" Said team doctor Sanders Conkel, Sanders Conkel said in his words Ri deliberately emphasized the word "preseason".

"For now, I think the game is more important." Xu Nuo said.

Team doctor Saunders Conkel shook his head.

"You're just a rookie player now, and there's a lot of things you don't understand, so it's natural to say that," Saunders Conkel said, "but when you look back in a few years, you know the body How important it is for a professional athlete, whether it's a basketball player or a football player, it's the same."

Promising to stop talking, he sprawled on a rug that team staff found in the arena so team doctor Saunders Conkel could massage his back.

"You are injured now, but it is a little good." Team doctor Saunders Conkel said.

"What's the benefit?" Xu Nuo asked, "Could it be to give up the chance for other people in the team to play?"

Sanders Conkel shook his head and said, "I don't mean that."

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

"Now that you're injured, you don't have to work for the team as a rookie," team doctor Saunders Conkel said with a smile.

"Hey, that's true!" Xu Nuo laughed as well.

"But I noticed that you don't usually work very much," said team doctor Saunders Conkel.

"Well, yes." Xu Nuo said, "I don't know what's going on, except for running errands for the old players in the team and getting things, I usually don't do much work. I used to When I first came to the team, the team asked me to help with the equipment for the team's practice, but now they don't seem to need me, and I don't know what's going on."

"Guess what's going on here?" team doctor Saunders Conkel said with a smile.

Previously, Xu Nuo had been lying on his stomach watching his teammates' direct games while chatting with team doctor Saunders Conkel, but when Xu Nuo heard these words, he turned his head and looked at team doctor Saunders Conkel . "You must know what's going on." Xu Nuo said.

"There's no fuss about it," team doctor Saunders Conkel said with a smile, "Actually, I don't know why, but I guess it was Larry Bird's special order."

"You said Mr. Larry Bird?" Xu Nuo said in surprise.

"Probably," team doctor Saunders Conkel said with a smile. "It's just my own guess."

"Probably not," Xu Nuo said, "Have you ever heard of a team's general manager taking care of a team's second-round rookie? Anyway, I've never heard of it. It must be the general manager taking care of a rookie player." Because that rookie player is very strong and can bring earth-shaking changes to the team, such as Kevin Durant back then. I am only a second-round rookie, and I can’t reach the level of Kevin Durant. level."

"Then what do you think will happen?" team doctor Saunders Conkel said with a smile.

"Then I don't know." Xu Nuo said, and looked at the stadium not far away.

"I feel that it is possible that Mr. Larry Bird took special care of you," team doctor Saunders Conkel said, "I heard that when you were just selected by the team, Larry Bird paid great attention to you .”

"Well, that's what happened." Xu Nuo said.

"So Larry Bird is likely to take special care of you." Team doctor Saunders Conkel continued.

But Xu Nuo remembered what his agent Bill Duffy had said about Larry Bird, shook his head and said, "I still don't feel like that."

"Maybe Larry Bird didn't see you as a rookie player," team doctor Saunders Conkel said.

Xu Nuo laughed out loud, "If I were the No. [-] pick in this year's draft, and you said that Larry Bird didn't see me as a rookie player, I might still believe it," Xu Nuo said, "but the problem is that I'm just a player. It’s just a second-round rookie, maybe everyone doesn’t treat me as a rookie?”

At this time, Sanders Conkel had helped promise to change her medicine again and stood up. "Looking at it this way, it's kind of a mystery," he said.

"Whatever," said Promise, "it's better not to work. Besides, to tell you the truth, your medical skills are really good. Now I feel better, almost no pain at all, and I feel that I can now Play." Saying promise, he was about to get up from the mat.

"Stop!" The team doctor Saunders Conkel said seriously, "Give me a good rest. You are not allowed to play without my permission. I will tell Coach Larry Brown that you will definitely not play tonight."

"Alas..." Xu Nuo let out a long, long, long, long, long sigh, then lay heavily on the mat again, with his chin resting on the cold ground, expressing a feeling of envy. Looking at his teammates playing on the court.

Xu Nuo stayed on the mat beside the court until the team's training ended, and then returned to the locker room with his teammates.Xu Nuo has always felt that the locker room in the Wukesong Basketball Stadium is even better than the locker room in the NBA arena. Although the venue may not be as atmospheric as the NBA arena, but in any case, Xu Nuo hopes more and more that he can be in Playing in the Wukesong basketball hall.Xu Nuo touched his back subconsciously, and couldn't help but sighed softly.

After practice, the team went to lunch together.Although the dishes ordered by the team are all authentic Chinese dishes, Xu Nuo did not eat much because he was in a bad mood and had no appetite. Most of the time he watched his teammates clumsily use chopsticks to pick up food with difficulty .In the afternoon, the team was resting, and Xu Xu was tossing and turning on the bed in his room but couldn’t fall asleep. He happened to have time to talk to his old friends in China, and the first sentence those friends said after receiving Xu Xu’s phone call was almost : "Brother, is your injury better?"

Although the greetings from those old friends made Xu Nuo feel a bit of warmth in his heart, but Xu Nuo really didn't like other people mentioning his injury at this time, because when Xu Nuo heard this, he remembered that he would not be able to play tonight. Thinking about the promise made me feel even worse. During the BJ Olympics in 2008, it was impossible for me to play in the Wukesong basketball hall. Now such an opportunity is close in front of me, but because of an injury, I passed by, and no one would feel better.Xu Nuo sighed, and it was time to set off for the arena.

Although he can't play the game, Xu Nuo still wants to sit in the Wukesong Stadium, cheer for his teammates, and be a cheerleader and water fountain administrator by the way.When Xu Nuo came to the arena with his teammates, he found that their opponents, the Los Angeles Clippers, had already arrived at the court early.There are also fans in the stands in the arena who have found their seats and are waiting for the game to start.

During the warm-up shooting before the game, Xu Nuo also shot with everyone for a while.However, when the game was about to officially start, Xu Nuo still sat on the team's bench beside the court with a lonely expression on his face.
