super point guard

Chapter 102
In fact, the city of New York still has a very important position in Xu Nuo's mind. After all, his NBA career started in the draft in New York.Before he came to the United States, Xu Nuo always wanted to visit New York, because Xu Nuo always believed that New York represented the real America.And after he came to the United States, Xu Nuo gradually became disliking for the glitz and sluggishness of New York City, which was incompatible with his nature after all.

Despite this, New York, as a basketball mecca, still occupies a very important position in Xu Nuo's heart.My NBA career started in New York, and the team I most wanted to join when I participated in the draft was the New York Knicks. Xu Nuo feels that I have become attached to New York all my life.

Therefore, when Xu Nuo revisited his hometown and came to New York again, Xu Nuo did not feel the slightest strangeness, but a very natural sense of familiarity emerged in his heart.When Xu Nuo followed the team on the team bus and traveled through the urban area of ​​New York, Xu Nuo looked out the window at the buildings he had seen and visited, with a rare relaxed expression on his face.

"I really didn't expect you to look so relaxed in New York." Danny Granger said to Promise.

"Of course, it's not the first time I've come to New York." Xu Nuo said.

"Perhaps you have integrated into the society of this city?" Danny Granger said with a smile.

"Integrate into this society?" Xu Nuo shook his head and said, "No, it is really difficult for me to truly integrate into New York society. This place does not match my style."

"I said, man, I have a great way to get you into New York," DeMar DeRozan said from the back of Promise's head.

Xu Nuo frowned, "What's a good way?" Xu Nuo asked.

"You hang out with your little lover for a day, and you're guaranteed to know New York like the back of your hand!" DeMar DeRozan said with a smile.

"This is not a good way." Xu Nuo said with a frown, and he knew that DeMar DeRozan would not say anything good.

DeMar DeRozan smiled "Hey" and sat back in his seat.

But what DeMar DeRozan said made Xu Nuo once again think of his new girlfriend Ellen Page in Los Angeles on the Pacific coast.Originally, Ellen Page had already promised to accompany her to New York when she was in Indianapolis, but yesterday Ellen Page had to fly to Los Angeles to participate in the shooting of a new movie. I had to come to New York alone.

Of course, to be precise, Xu Nuo is not alone, there are many teammates around Xu Nuo, so Xu Nuo will not feel lonely.But despite this, Xu Nuo still thinks about Ellen Page, who was four years away in Los Angeles, in his heart from time to time, and Xu Nuo thinks about when he should go to Los Angeles to see Ellen Page.

Before the team flew to New York, everyone was already talking about taking a tour around the New York City area before the game.But because the team will play the New York Knicks on the night of their arrival in New York, coach Larry Brown did not agree with the players' plan to go sightseeing before the game.

"Know that what you are facing tonight is a very powerful opponent!" Coach Larry Brown said to his disciples, "You must ensure that you can be in a very good state in the game, so we We must rush to the arena for training!"

Therefore, under the constant urging of Coach Larry Brown, the players had to give up their plan to visit New York and come to the Knicks' home arena, Madison Square Garden, for training.This promise doesn't matter, because Xu Xu has already visited New York this summer. Regarding the glitz and sluggishness of New York, Xu Xu doesn't want to see it again.

Since you can't go out for sightseeing, everyone has to focus all their attention on the court.And the one thing Xu Nuo cares most about is who his opponent will be in the game.

"Who are the point guards of the New York Knicks?" During training, Xu Nuo asked the team's chief assistant coach Brian Shaw.In addition, Xu promised to know that coach Brian Shaw himself was a point guard, and he might tell himself that he should defend the New York Knicks point guard in the game.

"According to the information we have now, the New York Knicks have a total of three point guards." Coach Brian Shaw said to Xu Xu, "These three point guards are Tony Douglas and the two veteran Byrons. Davis and Mike Bibby."

"Baron Davis and Mike Bibby?" Xu Nuo said in surprise, "They are really two difficult guys."

"Yes!" Coach Brian Xiao nodded and said, "Also, they also have a rookie named Iman Shumpert, who is a combo guard, and we need to be careful."

Xu Nuo nodded "Oh". Xu Nuo is not very unfamiliar with the name Iman Shumpert. I have seen that black kid in this summer's draft. It is because of his existence that I have not been Selected by the New York Knicks.Thinking of this, Xu Nuo couldn't help feeling the urge to humiliate that innocent Iman Shumpert in tonight's game.

For the Knicks' other point guards, however, Promise has to be cautious.So Xu Nuo continued to question Coach Brian Shaw, asking him how to defend the Knicks' point guards.Coach Brian Xiao seemed to like Xu Nuo's studious attitude, so he told Xu Nuo some of his defensive experience.

"The biggest advantage of Baron Davis lies in his weight, which is much higher than the average point guard. It is hard to say that a thin point guard like you will not be blown up by Baron Davis!" Coach Ryan Shaw said, "Byron has very good one-on-one skills, both offensively and defensively, and is very good at stealing the ball from the opponent."

"This is very similar to me." Xu Nuo whispered to himself after hearing this.

But coach Brian Shaw didn't seem to hear the promised words to himself, but went on to say: "Baron Davis often uses super exaggerated behind-the-back dribbles to make breakthroughs in fast breaks, you must pay attention This of him!"

"I see," Xu Nuo said with a cold tone, "I won't let him play any tricks in front of me!"

"Hopefully!" coach Brian Shaw said. "With Mike Bibby, his biggest weakness is that he sometimes relies too much on the jumper off the screen, because he moves very well off the ball. Mike Bibby His defense is not good, so when you face him, you have to strengthen your attack power."

"I see!" Xu Nuo nodded.

Since the team had to return to the hotel earlier to rest and prepare for the evening game, coach Larry Brown did not allow the players to train for too long, and coach Brian Shaw's promise of "precepts and deeds" ended here.After training, Xu Nuo just went to the bathroom for a little flush before returning to the visiting team's locker room.

"Hey, promise, I heard that this week's rookie award in the Eastern Conference was awarded to point guard Kyrie Irving of the Cleveland Cavaliers?" David West asked promise loudly in the locker room.

"Maybe," Xu Nuo frowned slightly and said, "I don't know."

"I saw some reports today that said so." David West said.

"That should be Kyrie Irving," Xu Nuo said, "He is the No. [-] pick in the NBA this year, and he should be more qualified and capable of getting that award than me."

Roy Hibbert, the center next to Xu Nuo, shook his head when he heard it, "Actually, you should be able to win the Rookie of the Week Award again, buddy!" Roy Hibbert said.

"Yeah!" Danny Granger also said, "Next week you should win back the Rookie of the Week trophy!"

"Hey, I said, how about we make a bet?" DeMar DeRozan jumped out and said.

"Bet?" said Dengtai Jones. "What bet?"

"Bet if you promise not to win the Rookie of the Year award next week, promise to treat our team to dinner!" DeMar DeRozan said loudly.

"Come on," veteran James Posey said, "Promise is still a rookie."

But DeMar DeRozan ignored James Posey at all, "Hey, promise, do you dare to make this bet?" DeMar DeRozan asked promise.

Xu Nuo frowned, in fact, Xu Nuo didn't want to participate in things like betting, because Xu Nuo didn't like doing it himself.But it doesn't seem good if I don't participate in it, and this time the bet seems to be very good for me, and it may motivate myself to perform better in the game.Thinking of this, Xu Nuo nodded and said, "Okay!"

"Really?" DeMar DeRozan said, "No regrets!"

"I see, I won't go back on my word." After Xu Nuo finished speaking, he turned around and faced the empty locker with nothing but a nail in front of him.

"In this case, it seems that I have to go all out in the next few games." Xu Nuo thought in his heart, "Tonight's game against the New York Knicks is really a very big challenge. I don’t know what kind of performance that big director named Spike Lee will have in the competition! My dear Ellen, I hope you can watch my competition tonight!”
