super point guard

Chapter 36 China Competition Shanghai Station ([-])

Xu Nuo really doesn't have time to take a good tour of Shanghai's cityscape, although Xu Nuo hopes to do so very much.Xu Nuo has also been to Shanghai before, including when he played in the CBA league and came to Shanghai to play away games with the team, and returned to China to watch the World Swimming Championships in Shanghai after participating in the NBA draft this summer. After looking at it, I didn't really visit Shanghai, an international metropolis.This time I promised to take the opportunity of returning to China to participate in the NBA China Game to take a good tour of Shanghai, but in the end it backfired.On the afternoon of the first day in Shanghai, all the players of the Pacers, including Xu Nuo, were lying in the hotel because of the long journey.The next morning, the head coach of the team, Larry Brown, began to arrange training, because the game was going to be played in the evening, and they had to hurry up to train, which made the plan of visiting Shanghai once again frustrated.

Xu Nuo also didn't contact Yao Ming who was in Shanghai, because Xu Nuo didn't know when Yao Ming would be free, and Xu Nuo was worried that he would disturb Yao Ming.Besides, as soon as I arrived in Shanghai, I couldn't wait to get in touch with them, which seemed a little bad.However, although Xu Nuo did not take the initiative to contact Yao Ming, he saw Yao Ming in the Luwan Stadium, the venue of the China Games.

"Xu Nuo, long time no see!" Yao Ming greeted Xu Nuo with a smile.

At first, I was surprised when I promised to see Yao Ming, but it is normal for Yao Ming to appear in the gymnasium. With Yao Ming’s current status in China, it is easy to go to any arena. It is the home arena of Yao Ming's team, the Shanghai Sharks basketball team, so it is only natural for Yao Ming to be here.Thinking of this, Xu Nuo hurriedly walked towards Yao Ming.

When Xu Nuo stood with Yao Ming, Xu Nuo found that he was not as tall as Yao Ming's shoulders, so that he kept his head up when talking to Yao Ming. After a long time, his neck gradually felt sore, but Promise doesn't care. "After arriving in Shanghai, I wanted to contact you, but after thinking about it, I decided to give up." Xu Nuo said with a smile.

Yao Ming also laughed, "So what's the matter?" He said, "Originally, I am the host, so I should do my best as the landlord, there is no problem at all."

Xu Nuo hurriedly waved his hand, "To be honest, I can't bear it." He said with a smile.

"I can't afford it," Yao Ming said. "After the game is over, I will invite you all to the team."

Xu Nuo wanted to say something more, but Yao Ming made a gesture to stop talking about it, so Xu Nuo had no choice but to swallow the words that came to his lips. "How's life in America?" Yao Ming asked.

"Everything is going well," Xu Nuo said, "There is nothing wrong with it."

"You are better able to adapt to the United States and the NBA than I was back then," Yao Ming said.

"It is precisely because senior players like you have opened the way for us that we can better integrate into the NBA!" Xu Nuo said sincerely.

Yao Ming smiled, "I watched your first preseason game, you played really, really, really well, you started better than me, Yi Jianlian, Sun Yue, and any of us. Be high, a good starting point is half the battle, it seems that your future is really limitless." Yao Ming said.

"Actually, I didn't expect that I would perform so well." Xu Nuo scratched the back of his head a little embarrassedly, and then said: "Anyway, I am just a substitute for the team, there is no pressure, as long as I do my job well That's it."

"Well, when there is no pressure, it will make people let go," Yao Ming said, "But I think the pressure on you will be even greater in tonight's game."

"Yeah," Xu Nuo said with distressed expression, "it seems like fans all over the country are watching this game, just thinking about it makes me really nervous!"

"Actually, this is just an ordinary preseason game. If you think about it this way, you won't feel so nervous." Yao Ming said with a smile, "But I think, it seems that I will put more pressure on you than going to the scene in person." The national audience puts more pressure on you."

"That's really not the case!" Xu Nuo said hastily.

Yao Ming smiled, "The time for the start of the game is getting closer and closer, so hurry up and prepare for the game, maybe Coach Larry Brown will put you in the starting lineup." Yao Ming said.

Coach Larry Brown didn't put promises in the team's starting lineup. When the on-site announcer began to introduce the players of the two teams, promises to hear that the starting point guard of the Indiana Pacers is still Dale. Len Collison.Xu Nuo knows that he is not yet qualified for the team's starting position. After all, Darren Collison's performance is much more stable than his own.After introducing the players of the "home" Indiana Pacers, the starters of the "visiting" Los Angeles Clippers followed: point guard Maurice Williams, shooting guard Eric Gordon, small forward Jay Mario Moon, power forward Blake Griffin and center DeAndre Jordan.

At [-]:[-] p.m. BJ time, the NBA China Games in Shanghai finally started.Roy Hibbert got the ball in a fight with DeAndre Jordan, and the ball went to Darren Collison.

"CCTV, CCTV, what you are watching now is the 2011 NBA China Game in Shanghai, between the Indiana Pacers and the Los Angeles Clippers." The voice of the on-site commentator Zhang Weiping came into Xu Nuo's ears. Xu Nuo knew that Zhang Weiping's commentary was very interesting and lively, and thought that now he finally had the opportunity to listen to Zhang Weiping's commentary live. "Now the Indiana Pacers are the first to take possession of the ball. The Pacers' starting point guard is still Darren Collison, and Xu Nuo, a point guard from China, sits on the bench," Zhang Weiping said.

When Xu Nuo heard Zhang Weiping mentioning himself, he couldn't hide the excitement in his voice. Xu Nuo understood that many basketball professionals in China, including the fans, had very high expectations of him. This made Xu Nuo feel nervous. I think tonight's game must be played well...

Teacher Zhang Weiping's commentary interrupted Xu Nuo's thoughts: "Darren Collison handed the ball to Danny Granger, and Granger made an outside shot!"

But Danny Granger's outside three-pointer did not hit the basket. Blake Griffin grabbed the backcourt rebound with his super bounce, and the Pacers immediately returned to defense.Eric Gordon hands the ball to Blake Griffin in an air cut, Blake Griffin immediately jumps towards the basket after receiving the ball, David Weiss standing on the basket Te didn't care about the ball at all.Blake Griffin scored the first point of the game with his trademark violent dunk, and the fans in the stands immediately let out a frantic, tsunami-like shout.

"It seems that the Chinese fans are quite enthusiastic." James Posey, who was sitting next to Xu Nuo, said.

"Yeah!" Promise said, "but I think the fans are shouting for Blake Griffin."

James Posey nodded, "Blake Griffin is indeed very popular now, but it's actually very easy to defend him," Posey said.

"Oh?" Xu Nuo looked at James Posey in bewilderment.

James Posey laughed, "Of course, that's not what we have to worry about, we just need to do our own job well." Posey said.

Before James Posey finished speaking, Xu Nuo remembered how Chuck Hayes of the Houston Rockets defended Blake Griffin, and couldn't help but nodded secretly.

Darren Collison played fine against Maurice Williams tonight, at least a lot better than he did against Jameer Nelson of the Magic last night, Indiana Pacers The first four points were all scored by Darren Collison.But Xu Nuo is not worried that he will not get a chance to play. This is a game in China. Even if it is just for the occasion, Coach Larry Brown will let himself play.That's when Darren Collison made another midrange jumper and the Indiana Pacers took an 8-4 lead over the Los Angeles Clippers.

"Darren's touch seems to be very hot tonight!" George Hill said while watching the game on the court with his chin in his hand.

"That's pretty good." Xu Nuo said.

"But this way your playing time may be reduced." George Hill said.

"It's okay, I'm not worried." Xu Nuo said with a smile.

George Hill glanced at the promise, and then continued to watch the game with his chin in his hand, "Oh, I forgot, this is in China, of course you won't worry." George Hill added.

Xu Nuo suddenly realized that in this NBA China game, most people take it for granted that they are the protagonists of this China game, especially the domestic fans, but in fact every player who came to participate in the China game, Every team member and even every fan who came to watch the game is the protagonist of this China game. Xu Nuo sincerely hopes that George Hill will think so.

But Xu Nuo really didn't have to worry that he wouldn't get a chance to play. After only about 4 minutes into the first quarter, Coach Larry Brown called Xu Nuo's name.

"The point guard Xu Nuo from China is finally coming on the stage. He is replacing the Pacers' starting point guard Darren Collison!" Teacher Zhang Weiping said loudly.

When Xu Nuo walked onto the field, he saw that many fans in the stands were holding slogans such as "Promise to cheer" and "Promise that we will always support you" in their hands, and kept waving them in their hands.Amidst the crazy shouts of the fans, Xu Nuo saw Yao Ming sitting on the sidelines laughing and applauding him.

Immediately, Xu Nuo felt that the pressure on his shoulders was much heavier.He took a deep breath, "We must fight hard!" Xu Nuo said loudly in his heart.
