Chapter 6 Returning to China
Perhaps Xu Nuo should have anticipated the scene where reporters would welcome him at the airport when they returned to China. Otherwise, when he and his parents walked out of the passenger passage of the airport, he wouldn't be surprised by the large crowd in front of him. The reporter was very surprised.

Fortunately, Xu Nuo still found a familiar face among those unfamiliar journalists, and that was his manager in China, Lu Hao.

"Why are there so many reporters at the airport today?" Xu Nuo asked Lu Hao with a sad face. He is not used to being surrounded by many reporters, and he doesn't like to face so much media.

"Of course it's to welcome you, an NBA rookie." Lu Hao said.

"How do you know I'm back today?" Xu Nuo asked.

"Now that the information media is so developed and the information spreads so fast, this little news is nothing," Lu Hao said, "and Bill Duffy also notified us early in the morning."

Xu Nuo couldn't help shrugging his shoulders, and now, whether he likes it or not, he has to face the long guns and short guns of these reporters who have been waiting at the airport for a long time.

"When you learned that you were selected by the Indiana Pacers, how did you feel in your heart?" A reporter began to ask Xu Nuo.

"Uh...Of course I'm a little bit excited," Xu Nuo replied, he still looked a little unnatural in the face of so many media reporters, "After all, it's not easy to be in the NBA. It is a great honor to be selected by the team, after all, not everyone can do it."

"We all know that you wanted to go to the Orlando Magic or the New York Knicks before participating in the draft, but now you are selected by the Indiana Pacers, do you feel a little disappointed in your heart?" A fat The fat reporter asked Xu Nuo.

As soon as Xu Nuo heard this, he thought to himself that this question is really sharp. Why is everyone inseparable from this topic? He must answer it carefully... "Before participating in the draft, I went to Orlando and New York to participate in the trial training of these two teams," Xu Nuo thought and replied, "These two teams are very good teams. I believe that every NBA player would like to play with players like Dwight Howard and Carmelo Anthony. But now I To be drafted by the Indiana Pacers, all I have to do is be ready to play for my team and nothing else."

"You are the fifth Chinese player to officially enter the NBA after participating in the NBA draft after Da Zhi, Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian and Sun Yue, and also the third Chinese defender who is very promising to enter the NBA after Liu Wei and Sun Yue. What do you think?" The reporter continued to ask Xu Nuo.

"Well... I can only say that the seniors before me set a good example for us junior players, and they opened up a path for us junior players to make it possible for us junior players to enter the NBA. Xu Nuo replied, "Brother Yao Ming gave me good guidance when I participated in the NBA draft this time. It can be said that without Brother Yao Ming, I would not be where I am today."

"While you are expressing your respect to senior players like Yao Ming, do you also think in your heart that you will surpass them someday in the future?" The reporter continued to ask.

"I never thought I could surpass players like Yao Ming," Xu Nuo said, "Including players like Wang Zhizhi, Yao Ming and Liu Wei, their achievements in various fields are difficult for me to surpass. And , now I am just a newcomer, the first thing I think of now is how to develop myself, of course those senior players will be a direction and goal I will strive for in my future career, but it is hard for me to say that I can surpass them."

"You just said that the first thing you think of now is how to develop yourself, but when the motherland calls you, will you choose to sacrifice your own interests to fight for the national team?" A female reporter asked, "According to my opinion You know, the national team coach Deng Huade has expressed a lot of interest in you recently, and seems to intend to call you into the national team."

"Is there really such a thing?" Xu Nuo said with a smile, "I haven't heard any news about it. But it will be a great honor to be able to play for the national team. As a Chinese , of course, will listen to the call of the country at any time. And for me, being able to play with such outstanding players as Wang Zhizhi, Zhu Fangyu, and Wang Shipeng will be a very good memory. But to be honest, I have not heard about news on this front.”

"We all know that most of your previous impressions are just an NCAA college player, and you have very little experience playing in the CBA league. This will make you feel that when you start your new career in the future, will you have any experience?" Pressure?" The reporter continued to ask.

"Do I have very little experience playing in the CBA?" Xu Nuo deliberately asked, "Although it is only a short year, I remember that I have a lot of opportunities. But these are all things in the past. For me Said that starting a new journey is only a good vision, and there is no great pressure. I also know that the fans all over the country are paying attention to me at this time, but there are people who will help me share the pressure, right? Some of the reporters laughed. Everyone knew that Xu Nuo was referring to Yi Jianlian, who also played in the NBA.

"The last question!" Xu Nuo's agent, Lu Hao, acted as Xu Nuo's temporary "public relations".

"Since this is the last question, let me ask a more personal question." A male reporter who looked relatively young said, "Is there any female athlete or female athlete you like in the sports circle around you?" player?"

Xu Nuo laughed when he heard that, "Why don't I feel like I'm in the sports circle?" He said with a smile, "But to be honest, I haven't found any female athletes I like around me, but if we say that in the whole country Inside, I personally admire diving player Chen Ruolin and table tennis player Liu Shiwen, they have achieved much higher achievements than me at my age, and this is what I need to learn from them." Xu Nuo finished answering this question with a smile The last question, the airport interview also ended in a relaxed atmosphere.

"Hurry up and go home, I'm almost exhausted!" Xu Nuo said to his parents and Lu Hao immediately after the reporters dispersed.

"Anyway, you did a pretty good job answering reporters' questions." Lu Hao praised.

"Did you do well?" Xu Nuo said, "To be honest, when I was answering the question just now, I was so nervous that I was sweating. It's best that a question is too funny to ask me such a question."

"It's normal for reporters to ask such questions," Lu Hao said, "But what I want to know is whether what you said is true?"

"Of course," Xu Nuo said, "I remember when Chen Ruolin won the Olympic gold medal in the 2008 BJ Olympics, I was so envious. How many world champions have they won? And my career has just begun. "

"Maybe one day I will find someone to bring your words to Chen Ruolin." Lu Hao said with a smile.

"No, no, no," Xu Nuo said hastily, "I think it's better not to bother you."

What Xu Nuo didn't expect was that they had just "escaped" from the "place of right and wrong" at the airport. After returning home, they were surrounded by people again, but this time they were not surrounded by groups of reporters but by There are more relatives, friends and neighbors who came to congratulate.But there is a little doubt about the promise, that is, are those relatives really just coming to congratulate, or do they want to take this opportunity to get a share?In this regard, the promise is really unknown.

After finally waiting for those who sat in the room to leave, it was already very late.When Xu Nuo rejoiced that he could finally take a break, a few more guests came, but these guests were what he wanted to see very much, because these guests were all his classmates, friends and teammates when he was in college.

"Boy, you're really promising!" Gao Ming, Xu Nuo's good friend and the big center of the team at the time, said, pointing at Xu Nuo and raising a newspaper in his hand. Xu Nuo took it over and saw the head of the newspaper The board reads: A star of hope emerges in the Chinese basketball world, and a line of small characters below it reads: The Chinese defender promises to successfully land in the NBA.

"Hopeful Star?" Xu Nuo said with a hint of self-mockery, "You really flatter me."

"Don't worry about whether people praise you or not, it's true that you are a famous person now." Said the small forward Mo Feng who was sitting next to Gao Ming.

"Being famous also has its troubles!" Xu Nuo said with a sigh.

"What did you say?" Gao Ming didn't seem to understand what Xu Nuo said.

"Nothing." Xu Nuo said.

"We all watched the news today," Mo Feng said, "Who do you like the most? Chen Ruolin and Liu Shiwen?"

"You two, don't talk about it!" Xu Nuo seemed really anxious.

"Okay, okay, don't say it if you don't say it." Gao Ming said with a smile, and pressed Xu Nuo, who seemed to stand up angrily, on the chair.

The arrival of good friends made Xu Nuo's exhausted body and mind very well relaxed, and both Gao Ming and Mo Feng also knew that Xu Nuo needed rest most now, so they left after sitting for a while.It was getting late at this time, Xu Nuo stood on the balcony of his house, looking at the lights of Wanjia in front of him, he was in a particularly cheerful mood.Now, Xu Nuo can think about nothing for the time being, and put everything behind his head (except for the usual training, of course, because Xu Nuo still needs to maintain a good state).In front of him, a wonderful summer is waiting for him.
