super point guard

Chapter 86 Rookie of the Week
"The starting point guard for the home team Indiana Pacers, our rookie player No. 13 promises—" the live announcer in the Conseco Arena shouted heartbreakingly, and suddenly Conseco Arena There were bursts of shouts and whistles from the stands, and the fans began to form waves of people, setting off wave after wave of climax in the stands.

Amidst the shouts of the live announcer, Xu Nuo was the first to jump into the stadium and waved to the fans in the stands around the stadium. The shouts, screams and whistles of the fans in the stands became more and more It rang.

"It seems that the fans welcome and agree with the promise to be the team's starting point guard." David West whispered to Danny Granger on the sidelines of the court.

"It seems that after the last game against Boston, the fans have now fully accepted and recognized the promise, which is good for the promise itself and our team!" Danny Granger Also whispered to David West.

David West nodded and stopped talking, because at this time the live announcer was about to introduce them.

After arriving on the court, Xu Nuo took a special look at the position where his parents were, and sure enough, he saw that his parents were looking at him with a smile on their faces.Xu Nuo put down his raised arms, but he couldn't help showing a smile on his face.

"The home team's Indiana Pacers' starting shooting guard, No. 10 player DeMar DeRozan!" The live announcer continued his heart-piercing shout.

"The starting shooting guard is actually DeMar, why not OJ Mayo?" Xu Nuo couldn't help saying this in his heart when he heard the announcer call out DeMar DeRozan's name.

When DeMar DeRozan came to his side and stood still, Xu Nuo whispered to DeMar DeRozan: "It seems that the arrival of OJ Mayo did not shake your starting shooting guard in the team." location!"

DeMar DeRozan smiled when he heard it, "If only in terms of personal ability, Irvington's ability must be higher than mine," DeMar DeRozan said, "However, you have to let Owen Don takes some time to get familiar with our team's tactics, otherwise he is unlikely to be effective even if he starts the team."

Xu Nuo thought about it, and it was true.If Darren Collison hadn't been injured in the last game against the Boston Celtics, it is unlikely that he will become the team's starting point guard.

At this time, the other three Indiana Pacers starters center Roy Hibbert, power forward David West and small forward Danny Granger all came to the court.After introducing the home team's starters, it's the turn of the visiting team, the Houston Rockets.The five starters for the Houston Rockets are point guard Kyle Lowry, shooting guard Kevin Martin, small forward Chase Budinger, power forward Patrick Patterson and center Luis Scola. Since the Houston Rockets' former starting center Chuck Hayes left the Houston Rockets for the Sacramento Kings in California this summer, Rockets head coach Kevin McHale had to turn power forward Luis Scola When it comes to the center position, let Patrick Patterson play the starting power forward.

As Xu Nuo expected before the game, before the game officially started, he received the Rookie of the Week trophy from the president of the NBA Eastern Conference.

"Ladies and gentlemen!" After the American national anthem was played live, the announcer at the scene began to shout again, "Before the game starts, I want to announce something to everyone!"

Suddenly, the arena became much quieter.

So the live announcer then shouted: "I am honored to announce that our rookie player and point guard Promise won the Eastern Conference Rookie of the Week award in the first week of the NBA! Let us congratulate him!"

Danny Granger pushed him behind Promise's back, telling Promise to go to the middle of the pitch.Xu Nuo hurried from the side of the court to the center of the court, raised his arms again and waved to the fans in the surrounding stands.

Although most of the fans at the scene knew the news before, when Xu Nuo's figure appeared in the middle of the court, the fans still gave their applause to Xu Nuo.Amidst the applause, Xu Nuo once again looked at where his parents were in the arena stands, and saw that his parents had expressions of surprise on their faces, but the surprise was also full of excitement.

At this time, the on-site host came to Xu Nuo's side, "Congratulations!" The on-site host said to Xu Nuo.

"Thank you." Xu Nuo said with a smile.

"Now, Mr. President of the Eastern Conference of the NBA, please present the trophy of the Rookie of the Week award to Xu Xu!" The host shouted loudly.

A 60-year-old man in a suit and leather shoes walked onto the court with a trophy made of transparent fiberglass in his hand.Previously, although Xu Nuo knew that the NBA was divided into two major divisions, the Eastern Conference and the Western Conference, Xu Nuo did not know that these two major divisions had their own presidents, so Xu Xu himself did not know the president of the Eastern Conference who came to present awards to him. What is the name.

The little old man walked onto the stage and shook Xu Nuo's hand. When shaking hands, Xu Xu felt that the little old man in front of him was quite strong.Then Xu Nuo took the trophy made of transparent fiberglass from the little old man's hand, and raised it high above his head. The fans and some players of the two teams applauded again.

After taking a group photo together, the little old man left the stage, so the host started to do a small interview with Xu Nuo.

"You know that everything is difficult at the beginning, and you won the Eastern Conference Rookie of the Week award in the first week of the NBA. Are you a little excited?" the host asked.

"Of course there is excitement," Xu Nuo replied, "but it's more of an unexpected surprise. After all, I never thought that I could get this Rookie of the Year award, even though it was just the Rookie of the Week. Will give this award to me, Kyrie Irving should be more deserving of this award than me."

"But now you're holding the Rookie of the Week trophy," the host said.

"Yeah," Xu Nuo said with a smile, "so I feel like I'm in a dream now."

"Maybe you don't want this dream to wake up now." The host said with a smile.

"As long as it is a dream, it will always wake up one day." Xu Nuo said, "For me, this week's best rookie award is just the beginning, and the future journey will be longer. Now, my teammates My fans, and even my family are standing here watching me get this Rookie of the Year trophy, and here I want to say, I will get more of this trophy for you!"

As soon as the promised words fell, the arena once again burst into applause.

"You just said that your family members were also there?" the host asked.

"Yes," Xu Nuo nodded and said, "My parents are sitting in the stands right now."

"So can we invite your parents to the court?" the host asked.

Xu Nuo thought for about three seconds, "Okay." Xu Nuo said.

So the host immediately said loudly: "Let us invite Mr. Xu and his wife to the court!"

So, amidst the applause of the fans and players, the promise's parents came to the center of the court.

In fact, Xu Nuo still has some concerns about letting his parents come to the court, because he is worried that his parents may not understand what the host is saying, so he has to act as a temporary interpreter for his parents.

"Mr. Xu and Mrs., your son has won the NBA Weekly Rookie Award. I wonder how you feel at this moment?" the host asked.

"We didn't expect that promise would win this award from the NBA," Dad said. "Before the promise kept saying that he would give us a surprise, but we didn't expect it to be such a surprise. We didn't expect it."

After Dad finished speaking, Xu Nuo translated Dad's words into English. Of course, Xu Nuo made some small changes to Dad's words according to his own meaning when translating, but Xu Nuo knew that even Mom and Dad couldn't understand, because Mom and Dad English level is not very high.

"Now that your son has won the Rookie of the Week award, do you have anything to say to your son?" the host then asked.

"We all hope that promise can continue to work hard, play every game well, make more contributions to the team, and at the same time get more trophies." Dad said with a smile.

"Okay, thank you for accepting our interview." The host said.

Before mom and dad left the stadium, I promised to hand over the trophy I just won to my mom. After all, I didn’t dare to put this commemorative trophy on the team’s bench, and it would be better to let mom and dad help me keep it .

After such a short interview, the Indiana Pacers' game against the Houston Rockets will officially begin.Xu Nuo walked to the free throw line on the court and watched his teammates stand in the middle circle and compete for the opening jump ball.

With the whistle of the referee on duty, the ball was thrown into the air, and Roy Hibbert beat Luis Scola to win the opening jump ball.Xu Nuo received the ball and began to dribble towards the frontcourt.
