Chapter 7 Yao Ming's Warning

Summer has finally started, but promises are still busy.

Originally, the promise was to take advantage of this rare summer to take a good rest, so that I could take this opportunity to adjust myself to the best state, and use the best of myself to welcome the new NBA career.But what makes Xu Nuo very distressed is that there are too many various activities that he has to participate in recently, and most of these activities are organized by various organizations and groups in his hometown (in China I love events like this).For example, participating in a fan meeting event (promising that I was also a fan before), accepting an interview with the news media, etc., although I promise that I also know that participating in these activities will be of great help to expand his own influence. After all, celebrities It's all hype, and his hometown can also use his small signboard, which is actually not very eye-catching, to expand the publicity, but Xu Nuo is really unwilling to participate in those activities, because those activities really consume too much energy and physical strength up.Sometimes Xu Nuo thinks to herself, I am just a second-round rookie in the NBA, and I am nothing if I just entered the NBA. Is it necessary to go back and forth like this?

After this busy period of time passed and all kinds of activities came to an end, Xu Nuo thought that he could finally take a good rest, but his good friends began to invite him to hang out again.Xu Nuo didn't have many friends in the first place, and after counting them, Gao Ming and the others could count without using both hands, so Xu Nuo couldn't refuse the invitation of his friends.Therefore, within two weeks at the beginning of the summer, Xu Nuo didn't get a good rest, let alone the usual daily training, Xu Nuo didn't even touch a basketball during this period of time.Moreover, Xu Nuo wanted to watch more games in the summer, including the games of the Chinese Men's Basketball Team, but they were too busy to pay attention.Therefore, Xu Nuo couldn't stop sighing: "I missed too many things."

Previously, Xu Nuo was told that Deng Huade, the head coach of the Chinese men's basketball national team, intends to call Xu Nuo into the national team, so Xu Nuo has been paying attention to this news in the past two weeks.However, the Chinese men's basketball national team has played several warm-up matches, and Xu Nuo still hasn't received an official notice about his entry into the national team, so Xu Nuo ignored it.In the middle and late July, when the Shanghai World Swimming Championships opened, Xu Nuo found an opportunity to go to Shanghai to watch the World Championships.

The promise to go to Shanghai to watch the World Swimming Championships is of course aimed at Chen Ruolin. After finally being able to really watch a diving competition, she must not miss this opportunity.But what Xu Nuo didn't expect was that he actually saw his senior brother Yao Ming in the auditorium of the World Swimming Championships.

"I didn't expect you to come to the World Championships." This was the first sentence Yao Ming said after seeing the promise.

"I was so busy a while ago that I couldn't spare time to take a good rest," Xu Nuo said, "so I want to take this opportunity to watch the World Championships to relax myself."

"Relax yourself?" Yao Ming looked at Xu Nuo and said, "This is probably your rhetoric. You came to Shanghai because of Chen Ruolin."

"You know that too." Xu Nuo said with some embarrassment.

"Everything you said at the airport was on the TV news. No one in the country knows about it." Yao Ming said, "Now that you are so close to people, why don't you find a chance to invite them out for a while?"

"Don't dare," Xu Nuo said hastily, "I'd better be honest." Yao Ming laughed.

"But to be honest, you shouldn't relax yourself right now," Yao Ming said.

"I know," Promise said, "I just want to use this summer to rest, adjust myself to the best condition, and then face the new NBA career with the best self."

"Yeah!" Yao Ming nodded and said, "But you also know that you must maintain your own state."

"I know," Xu Nuo said, "I have been doing daily training and never stopped."

"It's good, but it doesn't seem to be the best way," Yao Ming said.

"Are you saying that you want me to participate in the NBA Summer League?" Xu Nuo asked, and Yao Ming nodded.

"I also want to play in the NBA Summer League, but I have been paying attention to the national team recently, so I put the idea of ​​participating in the Summer League behind me for the time being." Xu Nuo said.

"Are you referring to the rumor that Deng Huade intends to call you into the national team?" Yao Ming said, "I've heard about this too."

"So I've been paying attention to things related to the national team recently." Xu Nuo said.

"But the rumors are just rumors after all. I don't know whether it is true or not." Yao Ming said, "But if I were you, I would fly directly to the United States to participate in the summer league. After all, participating in the summer league is very difficult for a rookie. Players are very beneficial. You are still young, and there are still many opportunities to serve the motherland in the national team in the future."

"But," Xu Nuo said thoughtfully, looking at the vigorous postures of the divers not far away, listening to the shouts of the audience around him, "I really want to be like those swimmers. Let the country win glory and listen to the cheers of the audience."

"I said that you are still young, and there will be more opportunities like this in the future," Yao Ming said, "As you said, the most important thing for you now is to develop yourself and improve your level, so that you can be more able to contribute to the future." The country wins glory."

Xu Nuo nodded silently.

Yao Ming leaned his body back and said, "From now on, the world of Chinese basketball will belong to you young people. As for the 'front waves of the Yangtze River' like me, you have already been 'slapped to death' on the beach by these 'back waves'." .”

"I have watched your press conference announcing your retirement from start to finish, and I really feel sorry for you," Xu Nuo said.

"Actually, I don't want to retire either. I haven't won an NBA championship yet, but I can't do anything about it. After all, time is not forgiving, and the injuries on my body are getting more and more." Yao Ming said with a sigh , "As for the dream of winning the NBA championship, it depends on you!"

"Me?" Xu Nuo didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "I'd better get a firm foothold in the NBA first."

"If you want to gain a firm foothold in the NBA, it's better to play in the summer league, so that you can be more appreciated by the team." Yao Ming said.

"I know!" Xu Nuo nodded.

"If you want to go, I'll call Bill Duffy so that he can prepare for you in the United States," Yao Ming said.

"Okay, thank you for your trouble." Xu Nuo said.

"Let's not talk about that for now," Yao Ming said, looking at the divers who were competing, "You said you were busy before, what were you busy with?"

"Oh..." Xu Nuo sighed, "Actually, I don't want to do that myself, but there are too many various activities, and there are interviews by the news media."

"Sure enough," Yao Ming said with a little worry in his eyes, "As an NBA rookie, especially a Chinese NBA rookie, it's normal for you to be paid attention to by the public, but to be honest, this is actually not the case. not good."

"I also know it's not good, but I can't help it." Xu Nuo said helplessly.

"You have to remember one thing: heroes are made by applause. Without those applause and the attention of the masses, you are just a bear." Yao Ming said, "When you are proud, everyone will flatter you To cater to you, everyone will praise you to the sky; but when you lose power, you will no longer be the darling of the public, and they will kick you to the eighteenth level of hell. What I want to say to you is: you have to Be yourself, no matter what you are facing, whether it is the cheers of others or the difficulties, you must first be yourself!"

"I understand!" Xu Nuo nodded and said, "Thank you for your warning."

"This is not a warning, it's just an old player's experience." Yao Ming said and looked at the time, "It's getting late, I still have some things to go back. If you really want to play If it’s summer league, let’s go early.”

"Okay, I see." Xu Nuo nodded.

Yao Ming got up and was about to leave, but he turned around and said to Xu Nuo with a smile, "If you want to, then find someone to go out and play with, maybe it will be good for you."

Xu Nuo knew that Yao Ming was referring to Chen Ruolin, so he shook his head with a smile and said, "I think it's better to forget it." Yao Ming smiled slightly, turned and left.

After all, Xu Nuo did not go to see Chen Ruolin. After witnessing Chen Ruolin once again on the world's highest podium, Xu Nuo left Shanghai and ended this trip to the World Championships. After all, the swimming competition that followed was not Xu Nuo's favorite thing to watch , and being able to see Chen Ruolin up close also made Xu Nuo feel very satisfied, although he was not sure that Chen Ruolin would know him.After returning home and resting for a few days, the time slowly slipped into August. Xu promised that he would never hear the rumor that the head coach of the Chinese men's basketball team, Deng Huade, intends to call him into the national team. The original team participated in the new Stankovic Cup Intercontinental Basketball Tournament, continuing their losing streak.Although Xu Nuo's parents didn't want Xu Nuo to go to the United States alone, just like they didn't want Xu Nuo to go to Shanghai alone, Xu Nuo bid farewell to his parents and his good friends, and once again embarked on the journey to the United States. A journey to a foreign land.Xu Nuo knew very well in his heart that he would encounter much greater difficulties when he went to the United States this time, but Xu Nuo believed that he was already prepared to meet any difficulties, just as Yao Ming said, he was ready himself.
