Chapter 121 The Worst Day

After learning that Ellen Page's mother, Martha Philpotts Page, is likely to disapprove of the news that she and Ellen Page are together, she promised her love for filming in Europe several times in a row Ellen Page called, but every time Xu Nuo made a call, there was always the sound of the phone being turned off, which made Xu Nuo feel very puzzled, because in the past, Ellen Page usually did not turn off the phone often , is there really any trouble?

But Xu Nuo can't put all his energy on it yet, because he still has to prepare for the team's game against the Portland Trail Blazers at home.But before the game against the Portland Trail Blazers, during the interview with reporters before the game, some reporters still asked Xu Nuo about the relationship between him and Ellen Page.

"Now that the relationship between you and Ellen Page has been exposed by the media, but your relationship has been hindered immediately, what kind of impact do you think such obstacles will have on the relationship between you and Ellen Page ?” A reporter asked Xu Xu in the players’ locker room.

Xu Nuo couldn't help frowning when he heard that, at this moment, Xu Nuo just wanted to prepare for the upcoming game against the Portland Trail Blazers, and didn't want to say much about his relationship with Ellen Page something.But since a reporter asked this question, Xu Nuo had no choice but to answer this question.

"No obstacle of any kind will stop us from being together," Xu Nuo told the reporter, frowning. "That's what I want to say."

"But we've heard that Ellen Page's mother, Ms. Martha Philpotts Page, doesn't really approve of your relationship with Ellen Page," another reporter said.

"I'm not very clear about this, so I can't make any comments on it." Xu Nuo continued to frown and said, at this time his mood really got worse and worse.

Another reporter wanted to ask some more questions, but promised that he had already changed into his tracksuit and planned to squeeze out of the reporters and go to the court to practice shooting in advance. "I'm sorry, excuse me, it's time for me to practice on the court." Xu Nuo said to the reporters beside him.

"Just one question," No.3 reporter said to Xu Nuo, "One question is fine."

Xu Nuo frowned, "Okay." He said, and stopped his steps at the same time.

"Many media are now saying that you are very likely to win the Rookie of the Week award for the second time this season. What do you think of such remarks?" the reporter asked Xu Xu.

After hearing this question, Xu Nuo couldn't help but slightly nodded: This question is not bad. "Of course I am very happy to have the opportunity to win the Rookie of the Week Award again, because this is a kind of affirmation and support from the NBA and everyone." Xu Nuo said, "But whether I can win the Rookie of the Week Award this week, I guess we won't see until after tonight's game against the Portland Trail Blazers."

After speaking, Xu Nuo went straight out of the players' locker room from among the reporters, and came to the court to practice in advance.Across the court, Portland Trail Blazers star LaMarcus Aldridge was also on the court practicing shooting.There are more and more fans in the stands, and the time for the start of the game is getting closer.

If it hadn't happened suddenly about the love affair between himself and Ellen Page, Xu Nuo would have wanted his parents to come to the Conseco Arena to watch the game again, but now Xu Nuo thinks that his It is better for parents not to show up in front of the public and the media.Even so, when Xu stepped on the floor of Conseco Arena before the game, his face was sad, and there was no sign of excitement about his very likely second Rookie of the Week award.

Before the game, Indiana Pacers head coach Larry Brown called Promise to his side.

"Promise, I know you seem to have a lot of trouble in the past two days, but I don't want you to bring your own troubles to the game." Coach Larry Brown said with a serious face, "I still hope I Can see you at your best in tonight's game!"

"I see, Coach Brown." Xu Nuo nodded, but he still looked listless.

"In addition, you have to pay more attention to controlling the rhythm of the team during the game," coach Larry Brown continued, "The Portland Trail Blazers are a very young team like us, and they are also very young. Vitality, so I don't want us to have a fast attack against Portland in the game, we have to stabilize the rhythm of the game and use positional warfare to deal with their fast offense."

"I understand." Xu Nuo said and nodded again.

At this time, the referee on duty blew his whistle, the game was about to start, and the players stepped onto the court one after another.Roy Hibbert walked to the middle circle of the court, preparing to fight for the opening jump ball with veteran center Marcus Camby of the Portland Trail Blazers.

"Get ready, guys!" The referee on duty for this game shouted to the players of the two teams, and then threw the ball in his hands into the air. Roy Hibbert won the ball and the game began .

Xu Nuo's opponent tonight is the strong point guard Raymond Felton. Xu Nuo knows that if he attacks one-on-one, it will be difficult to defeat the strong Raymond Felton, so Xu Nuo decided to play in the pass tonight. Work harder on the organization of the ball.Promised to hand the ball inside to David West, who held the ball with his back to LaMarcus Aldridge on the right edge of the box while Danny Granger made a three-pointer Outside the line began to rush toward the basket.But when David West was about to pass the ball to Danny Granger, the opponent fouled Danny Granger.

Xu Nuo soon discovered that when facing Raymond Felton, he was not only unable to break through Raymond Felton one-on-one due to insufficient physical confrontation, but also had more than enough thoughts in terms of passing and defense And lack of strength.Especially in defense, Xu Nuo's slightly thin body could not withstand the strong impact of Raymond Felton at all. Raymond Felton broke through his own defense twice in a row and scored a layup. Porter The Trail Blazers also led the Indiana Pacers at home 6-0 at the start of the game.

"Promise, beat him with your speed!" Coach Brian Shaw, the head assistant coach of the Indiana Pacers, stood on the sidelines of the court and shouted at the promise on the court.

But Xu didn't really beat Raymond Felton for the first time until the second half of the first quarter. Raymond Felton made a dribble error under Xu's close defense. He picked up the ball on the floor and ran all the way forward, and immediately the fans in the stands beside the stadium stood up.

"Hey, man, let's dunk!" a fan shouted from the sidelines.

"Yes, let's be violent!" Another fan shouted, "Like Blake Griffin!"

Xu Nuo seemed to have heard the shouts of the fans on the sidelines. After making sure that no one was following him, Xu Nuo took off directly within two steps of the free throw line, holding the ball high in both hands, and gliding towards the basket.

"Wow oh oh oh..."

Before Xu Nuo dunked into the basket, the fans on the sidelines of the court had already let out bursts of exclamation.

While the fans exclaimed, Xu Nuo slammed the ball into the basket with both hands, and his body hung on the basket.

"Wonderful!" The bench of the Indiana Pacers and the stands beside the court were boiling at the same time. "This dunk can definitely be selected as the top ten shots of the day!" A fan on the court shouted loudly.

But this slam dunk was also Xu Nuo's only wonderful performance in tonight's game. In the rest of the game, Xu Nuo was suppressed by Raymond Felton everywhere, and at the same time, he was punished by the team's team because of too many fouls. Backup point guard George Hill carved up most of the minutes.Fortunately, Xu Nuo controlled his mistakes very well. Xu Nuo scored 91 points and 102 assists in the whole game without a single turnover, but there were 7 fouls. The Indiana Pacers also lost at home with 3:[-]. The Portland Trail Blazers game ended a two-game winning streak.However, the Indiana Pacers are now ranked fourth in the East with a record of [-] wins and [-] losses. Losing this game will not have a great impact on the team's record.

After the game, Xu Nuo really wanted to leave the arena and go home immediately, but in the player locker room, a large number of reporters once again surrounded Xu Nuo.

"May I ask if you are really with Ellen Page now? If other people disagree with you going on, will you choose to let go?"

"It is reported that Ellen Page's mother, Ms. Martha Philpotts Page, does not seem to agree with the relationship between the two of you. What do you think of such remarks?"

"It seems that Ellen Page has not made any remarks on this matter until now. Do you know about this matter? What do you think of this matter?"

"Now Ellen Page seems to be participating in the shooting of a new movie in Europe, not in the United States, so I don't know if you have communicated with each other about this recent incident?"

Almost all of the questions asked by these reporters were related to the relationship between Xu Nuo and Ellen Page, and all the questions were very sharp, which really made Xu Nuo a headache.Of all the questions, only one was about whether Xu Nuo would win the Rookie of the Week award for the second time, and Xu Nuo had to spend the rest of the day trying to resolve his issues with Ellen Page Give some explanations.

"Hey man, are these reporters getting on your nerves?" George Hill said to Promise after the interview was finally over.

"Alas..." Xu Nuo said with a long sigh, "Not to mention losing tonight's game, it's really annoying to have to face so many reporters' long guns and short guns." Speaking of this, Xu Nuo paused , and then added:
"Today has been the worst day ever."
