Chapter 9 Derek's Invitation

Xu Nuo's good friend Derek Williams has been inviting Xu Nuo to his home to have fun, saying that his home is in La Mirada, near Los Angeles, California, not too far from Las Vegas.Although Xu Nuo didn't really want to go, but under Derek Williams' repeated invitation, Xu Nuo finally agreed to Derek Williams.So, after all the summer league matches, Xu Nuo decided to visit Derek Williams' family.

After Xu Nuo's agent, Bill Duffy, knew that Xu Nuo was going to Los Angeles, Bill Duffy came to Los Angeles with Xu Nuo just to be on the safe side.After a night in Los Angeles, Bill Duffy decided to take the promise to La Mirada himself.

"To be honest, I can walk this distance by myself." Xu Nuo said to Bill Duffy on the way.

"What if you get lost?" Bill Duffy said. "To be on the safe side, I'd better give you a ride."

"Are you still afraid that I will lose it?" Xu Nuo said.

"I'm not afraid of losing you, but what if you are captured by aliens?" Bill Duffy said.

Xu Nuo smiled and said nothing more.

After arriving in the small town of La Mirada, he promised to let Bill Duffy go back to Los Angeles, and he called Derek Williams to tell him that he had arrived in the city, and told him the specific location at this time, and then Xu Nuo stood there and waited.About 10 minutes later, a red sports car stopped in front of Xu Nuo, and Derek Williams, who was two meters tall, got out of the car.

"Hello buddy!" As soon as he met Derek Williams, he gave Xu Nuo a big hug.

"Hello, buddy! But you're squeezing me out of breath." Xu Nuo said, being hugged by a big man who was almost ten centimeters taller than himself, Xu Nuo really didn't feel very good.

Derek Williams let go of the promise with a giggle, and they got into Derek Williams' red sports car together.

"Man, honestly, how does my car feel?" Derek Williams asked Promise.

"To be honest, I don't know much about cars, but I think it's cool!" Xu Nuo said.

"It's cool!" Derek Williams said happily, and suddenly increased the accelerator, and the car galloped on the streets of the small town at high speed.

"Dude, I think you're speeding!" Xu Nuo said to Derek Williams.

"What did you say?" Derek Williams didn't seem to understand what Xu Xu said.

"I said you seem to be speeding!" Xu Nuo said loudly to Derek Williams.

"Speeding?" Derek Williams said. "Forget it, never mind!"

Xu Nuo saw that Derek Williams had no intention of slowing down at all, so he had no choice but to relax, leaning on the back of the chair and letting Derek Williams drive as fast as he could.Xu Nuo looked at the scenery outside the car window, and found that La Mirada said it was a small town, rather than saying it came from a small town.But before Xu promised to enjoy the scenery of the town, the car stopped.

"Wow, I broke the record!" Derek Williams said excitedly.

"What record?" Xu Nuo asked curiously.

"The time record across the town, I broke the record I had previously maintained, and this is thanks to you." Derek Williams said.

"Me?" Xu Nuo was puzzled.

"It was your arrival that gave me the adrenaline rush, and then I broke the record." Derek Williams said, "But now is not the time to talk about this, my parents are here to pick you up."

Xu Nuo looked out the car window, and sure enough, he saw Derek Williams' parents coming out of the house, and hurriedly opened the car door to meet them.

"My dear child, I'm really glad you can come!" Derek Williams' mother said excitedly to Xu Nuo, and at the same time kissed Xu Nuo on the forehead.

"Thank you!" Xu Nuo said, and to be honest, it felt a little weird to be kissed by Derek Williams' mother.

After that, Xu Nuo took out the gift he gave to Derek Williams' family, which was a bright red Chinese knot.Xu Nuo didn't know if the Derek Williams family would like this gift, and this gift was recommended to Xu Nuo by Bill Duffy.However, seeing that Derek Williams' parents liked the gift, Xu Nuo was relieved.

The house that Derek Williams lives in is not very big, a small two-story building, but in Xu Nuo's view, it is already very good.Derek Williams told Promise that he is going to buy a house for his parents in Minnesota, so that he can often be with his parents.

What Derek Williams said reminded Xu Nuo of his parents. He was going to play in the United States, but what about his parents? Are they still in China?Now that I have the ability to make my parents live better, it is also good to be a little filial.Xu Nuo thought that after signing with the Pacers, he would definitely buy a house for his parents in Indianapolis, and let his parents live an American life.

At this time Derek Williams asked Xu Xu: "What are you thinking about?"

Xu Nuo recovered from his contemplation, smiled cautiously, and said, "It's nothing."

Derek Williams smiled, and then approached mysteriously to promise.

"Tell me, buddy, have you been in America for so long, do you have any girls you like?" Derek Williams asked with a smirk.

Xu Nuo smiled lightly and shook his head.

"Oh man!" said Derek Williams. "Honestly, you really have to watch out for women who try to get you. They're more interested in your money."

Xu Nuo nodded with a smile, "I know." He said.

The sound of Derek Williams' parents cooking came from the nearby kitchen. Derek Williams looked into the kitchen and said to Xu Nuo: "Even my dad cooks himself, he usually doesn't cook for us."

"You won't come to the kitchen specifically for me, right?" Xu Nuo was taken aback.

"Maybe," Derek Williams said.

"How embarrassing..." Xu Nuo said.

"It's okay," said Derek Williams, "what's the matter. You Chinese are just too polite, making everything look fake, it's really good. My dad is a good cook , by the way, I will also follow you to get rich."

Xu Nuo smiled, when the dishes were ready, a soup was served first, Xu Nuo scooped it up with a spoon cautiously, only to find that the soup was made of apples.

"Apple soup is my mother's specialty!" says Derek Williams.

Xu Nuo took a sip carefully, and it really felt very sweet and delicious, "It's really delicious." Xu Nuo said.

Derek Williams' mother smiled at the promise, "Drink as much as you like," she said.

Along with the soup came an American-style steak. Although Xu promised that the dishes were very delicious, but this was the first time I was a guest at an American home, and I was very reserved everywhere, and I didn’t dare to let go of my stomach. Of course It's not very polite in America either.Therefore, even though there were pancakes in sugar sauce, roasted wild duck with oranges and other dishes afterwards, and finally dessert, Xu Nuo only felt two-thirds full after eating.

"I'm full." Xu Nuo lied.

Promised to test his skills with Derek Williams after the meal on the small basketball court in the yard of Derek Williams' house, before in Las Vegas, Promise rarely had the opportunity to actually play with Derek · Williams played against, after all, they do not play the same position.But this time one-on-one, Xu Nuo found that Derek Williams was really good, and Xu Nuo lost to Derek Williams 20:21.

"Isn't this your real level?" Derek Williams asked Promise.

"How do you know?" Xu Nuo asked Derek Williams back, and then they laughed together.

"I really look forward to playing against you in the NBA." Derek Williams said.

"Then I'll see you later on the field." Xu Nuo said.

At around three o'clock in the afternoon, Xu Nuo left Derek Williams' house, and Derek Williams drove his red sports car to Los Angeles. The speed along the way made Xu Nuo worry about what happened next. Whether they will have a car accident at this second, but Derek Williams still sent the promise to Los Angeles safely.

After returning to Los Angeles, Xu Nuo began to seriously consider the next step of the itinerary. After all, it was almost the end of August, and it was time to start preparing for the new NBA season.I promised myself that I wanted to go back to China for a while, and then return to the United States after the Asian Championships. By the way, I also made preparations for moving.However, it was Bill Duffy who pointedly said the most important thing Xu Xu should consider at this time.

"Recently, I have been negotiating with the Pacers to discuss what is the most appropriate number to set your new contract amount," Bill Duffy said, "What amount do you think your contract will be? ?”

To tell the truth, Xu promised himself that he had never considered this issue, "I don't know either." He said.

"I personally think $4 million over four years is about the same," Bill Duffy said.

"4 million in 200 years?" Xu Nuo tilted his head.

"This is just my own idea. I will communicate with the Pacers about the specific numbers, and I will let you know when the time comes." Bill Duffy said, promising to nod silently. To be honest, he felt that 4 million in 200 years Some are missing.

While Bill Duffy was negotiating with the Pacers, Xu promised to fly back to China again, but he also knew that this was his last return to China this summer.
