super point guard

Chapter 72
When Xu Nuo and George Hill arrived at their home arena, Conseco Arena, most of the other players hadn't come yet, and only David West and Josh McRoberts were in the player locker room. Personal, and they all look tired.It's no wonder that it's hard for anyone to wake up after only sleeping for three hours a night. Xu Nuo can't figure out why their head coach, Coach Larry Brown, still arranges training.

"Is our game against the Boston Celtics tonight?" Xu Nuo asked David West.

"That's right." David West said while yawning.

"If it's a back-to-back match, don't we need rest more, so as to ensure our physical strength, why does Coach Larry Brown arrange training?" Xu Nuo said puzzled.

"Coach Larry Brown arranges training to keep us in good shape," Josh McRoberts said, with tiredness in his voice, "Last night we lost to Oklahoma City to let Larry Brown The coach is very dissatisfied, we must perform well tonight."

"No matter what, it's best to win this game." George Hill continued.

"Win the Celtics?" Xu Nuo said, "Isn't this a little difficult?"

"It is indeed difficult, but we are not without a chance." David West said.

"Oh?" Xu Nuo frowned.

"If you think about it, facing an old team like the Boston Celtics, as long as we pick up the pace of the game, their physical strength will definitely not be able to keep up in the final stage of the game, and then we take this opportunity to exert strength. , should be able to win the game." David West said.

"But Boston's defense is very good!" Xu Nuo said.

"No matter how strong a team is, it also has weaknesses," said Josh McRoberts. "As long as we look at the opponent's weaknesses and attack head-on, we still have a chance to win the game, so I agree with David."

Just as Xu Nuo was about to say something, the door of the player's locker room opened, and Danny Granger appeared at the door of the locker room, followed by Paul George.

"Morning, everyone," Danny Granger said as he walked into the locker room, his voice also sounded lifeless, "Promise, help us get some fruit, preferably the kind that can refresh us."

Xu Nuo immediately jumped up, "I see, I'll get it." Xu Nuo said.

"If you can, bring me some iced fruit." David West said hastily.

"Is it okay to eat iced food at this time?" Xu Nuo frowned and said, "Don't spoil your stomach, or your condition will not be good for tonight's game."

"It's okay," David West said.

"Alright then." After Xu Nuo finished speaking, he walked towards the door of the locker room.

What Xu Nuo didn't expect was that as soon as he walked out of the locker room, he ran into their head coach, Coach Larry Brown.

"Morning coach!" Xu Nuo said hastily.

Coach Larry Brown nodded, "What are you going to do?" Coach Larry Brown asked.

"Uh... Danny and David said they want me to help them get some fruit." Xu Nuo said, hoping that Coach Larry Brown would not be angry with him.

"What are you doing with the fruit?" Coach Larry Brown asked.

"Uh...they said they want to use fruit to refresh themselves..." Xu Nuo said cautiously.

Unexpectedly, Coach Larry Brown actually laughed. Xu Nuo thought that Coach Larry Brown would be angry.

"It's good to think of using fruit to refresh yourself." Xu Nuo heard Coach Larry Brown say, "You can ask the team's staff to go, but are you sure they are talking about fruit and not anything else? "

"Yes." Xu Nuo nodded.

Coach Larry Brown nodded as a team worker passed them and Coach Larry Brown called him over and told him to get him some fruit.Then, Coach Larry Brown opened the door and walked into the locker room, promising to follow Coach Larry Brown.

"Morning coach!" The players in the locker room all stood up when they saw Coach Larry Brown walk into the locker room.

"What time is it, so few people came here." Xu Nuo heard Coach Larry Brown say dissatisfiedly, "Danny, when you go to the training ground later, you let those late players surround the training ground more Run a few laps."

"Understood." Danny Granger could only nod in agreement.

"You must know that our opponent tonight is the Boston Celtics, you all must ensure a good competitive state!" Coach Larry Brown said seriously, promising them to nod.

After Coach Larry Brown finished speaking, he turned and went to his office. After a while, the fruit was delivered, so everyone gathered around to eat the fruit.

"It's a pity that none of them are iced." David West said.

"Coach Larry Brown ordered the staff to get it, not me." Xu Nuo said hastily.

"It seems that Coach Larry Brown is also worried that eating iced fruit will spoil our stomachs." Danny Granger said, and David West nodded.

After eating the fruit, everyone began to prepare to go to the training ground.There are many more players who are late for training today than before. It seems that everyone slept too late last night and couldn't get up this morning.But Danny Granger didn't dare to disobey Coach Larry Brown's order, so he had to let those players who were late for training run five extra laps around the training ground.

In fact, today's training is very simple, just shooting, and some ordinary strength training. It seems that Coach Larry Brown also knows that everyone did not have a good rest last night, and did not arrange a lot of training content.Promise is not late, there is no need to run the five extra laps, just shoot the ball with everyone.Danny Granger clamored to compete with Xu on free throws, but Xu Xu actually won against Danny Granger.

"Hey, I thought I would lose." Xu Nuo said.

Danny Granger smiled, but said nothing.

Although today's training was very easy, whenever Xu Nuo thinks about tonight's game, he still feels very nervous. You must know that the opponent is the Boston Celtics, the strongest enemy in the East!This is the first time Xu Nuo has played against the Boston Celtics, and this game is their first home game this season. Xu Nuo has been worried that he may not play well.

"It's normal to not play well. Even old players like us sometimes play badly. What's more, you are just a rookie player. People don't care much about you." James Posey said Said to the promise.

Although James Posey said this, Xu Nuo was still very nervous, especially when Xu Nuo thought of his opponent tonight, Rajon Rondo, especially when Xu Nuo thought of Charles Barkley and said that he was in this season's game Li won't get twenty points.

Since there is not much training content today, the training will end soon.When Xu Nuo returned home, it was not yet twelve noon.Xu Nuo sat on the balcony of his room, thought for a while, took out his mobile phone and dialed the number of his good friend Derek Williams.

"Hey, buddy, you finally remembered to call me!" Derek Williams' voice came from the other end of the phone.

"It's been a long time, I miss you." Xu Nuo said with a smile.

"Hey, buddy, when did you speak so nicely, it doesn't feel like your style!" Derek Williams said.

"Why is it not like my style?" Xu Nuo asked back.

"Just kidding," Derek Williams said with a laugh. "How's it going, man?" Derek Williams asked.

"Aren't you asking knowingly!" Xu Nuo said loudly.

"What?" Derek Williams asked, "Could it be that what Charles Barkley said made you feel very uncomfortable?"

"Almost." Xu Nuo said, his voice softened.

"Don't take that man's words to heart," Derek Williams said. "He said that purely to attract people's attention. If one sentence of what he said is true, then I will put the whole basketball Eat it!"

"No way?" Xu Nuo said in surprise.

"Why not?" Derek Williams said on the phone. "Listen, man, you don't have to believe that Charles Barkley guy."

"Oh..." Promise said, deciding to steer the subject away from Charles Barkley, so he asked, "How's your game going?"

"It's better than when it started," Derek Williams said.

"Coach Adelman started to give you more playing time?" Xu Nuo asked.

"Yeah!" Derek Williams said, "You know what, we just beat the Milwaukee Bucks, and I scored 21 points in the game!"

"Really?" Xu Nuo said, "Congratulations!"

"Actually, I can play better, because I'm going to participate in the Rookie of the Year competition!" Derek Williams said, "And you, buddy, did you play last night?"

"We lost to the Oklahoma City Thunder by [-] points last night," Xu Nuo said, "and tonight we are going to face the Boston Celtics. I am really nervous!"

"It's okay, isn't it just an ordinary regular season?" Derek Williams said.

"It's easy for you to say." Xu Nuo said.

"It really doesn't matter, buddy, I believe in your strength." Derek Williams said.

"You know my opponent tonight is Rajon Rondo!" Xu Nuo almost shouted out.

"You've already played against Kyrie Irving, are you still worried about Rajon Rondo?" Derek Williams said.

Xu Nuo was stunned for a moment: Yes, I am not even afraid of Jameer Nelson and "General" Arenas, so do I need to worry about Rajon Rondo?
"Okay, I won't tell you anymore, I'm going to have lunch, let's talk another day!" After Derek Williams finished speaking, he hung up the phone without waiting for Xu Nuo to react.

After putting down the phone, Xu Nuo felt that he was more relaxed. Xu Nuo thought that when facing an opponent like the Boston Celtics, few people would be as relaxed as himself.

After lunch, Xu Nuo went back to his room and began to take a nap. Xu Xu never took a nap before, because Xu Nuo always believed that sleeping during the day was a waste of time.But in order to keep up his energy and prepare for the game against Boston in the evening, Xu Nuo took a short rest.When George Hill came to ask Xu Nuo to go to the arena together, George Hill was very surprised by Xu Nuo's relaxed expression.

"Okay, I'm ready, let's go." Xu Nuo said to George Hill with a smile.

"Did you take the wrong medicine?" George Hill asked in surprise.

"What's the matter?" Xu Nuo frowned and asked.

"I mean, how did you become so relaxed?" George Hill said hastily.

"Is nervousness useful to win the game?" Xu Nuo said with a smile, "Compared with nervousness, I think it's better to relax."

George Hill shook his head and started the car.
