Chapter 190 A Rare Gathering
At noon on the second day after the rookie challenge, Xu Nuo brought his girlfriend Ellen Page, Ricky Rubio and Derek Williams to the largest Chinese restaurant in Orlando.
In fact, at first Derek Williams wanted to have dinner together in the evening, but everyone considered that there were skill challenges and dunk contests to participate in at night, so everyone had to change the dinner time to noon.In fact, Xu Nuo also feels that having dinner together at night is the most atmospheric, but everyone still has to consider the schedule.
Knowing that Xu promised to have dinner with Ricky Rubio and the others, Ellen Paige seemed more excited than promised, and even dressed up carefully before leaving the hotel, causing Xu Nuo to wait for a long, long time.And when Promise walked out of the hotel with Ellen Page, Ricky Rubio and Derek Williams were already waiting outside the hotel.
"Why are your movements getting slower and slower, you don't look like you on the field at all!" Derek Williams slapped Xu Nuo on the shoulder and said loudly to Xu Nuo.
Xu Nuo looked helplessly at Ellen Page beside her, and shrugged with grievance.
"Hi there!" Ellen Page greeted Ricky Rubio and Derek Williams.
"Hi." Ricky Rubio responded with a shy nod.
And Derek Williams is much more enthusiastic than Ricky Rubio, "Hello, charming lady!" Derek Williams said to Ellen Page in a gentlemanly manner, promising to stand aside But I really want to laugh.
"Where are we going today?" Ricky Rubio asked.
"How about going to a Chinese restaurant?" Xu Nuo suggested, "I don't think any of you have eaten Chinese food much."
"During the BJ Olympics in 2008, I often ate Chinese food, and the taste was really good." Ricky Rubio said.
"Really?" Derek Williams asked.
"You really should try Chinese food, you won't be disappointed," Ricky Rubio told Derek Williams.
"Okay then, let's go to the Chinese restaurant!" Derek Williams said loudly.
"Okay!" Xu Nuo nodded.
"What do you think?" Derek Williams asked Ellen Page.
Xu Nuo wanted to answer Derek Williams before Ellen Page, but Ellen Page answered faster than Xu Nuo, and Xu Nuo only had time to open her mouth.
"You can decide, I'll do whatever I want." Ellen Page said quickly.
Xu Nuo couldn't help raising his head when he heard the conversation between Ellen Page and Derek Williams.
"Let's go quickly, we have to go to the arena to prepare for the game in the afternoon." Ricky Rubio urged.
On the way to the Chinese restaurant, everyone started chatting, promising to find something to talk about in the evening's game.
"Derek, are you going to participate in the dunk contest tonight?" Xu Nuo asked.
"Of course!" Derek Williams said.
"I'm really looking forward to your performance tonight." Xu Nuo said.
"Just wait and see!" Derek Williams said loudly, showing a confident look.
"What kind of moves are you going to use in the game?" Xu Nuo asked, even though he knew Derek Williams wouldn't tell him.
"It's top secret, my friend!" Derek Williams said with mock seriousness, which made him look even more amused than usual, and even Ellen Page couldn't help laughing.
"If you want to know what moves I'm going to use in the game, you'll find out at the game tonight." Derrick Williams continued.
"It seems that Ricky is going to help you complete a certain dunk in the game?" Xu Nuo then asked.
"Yes, yes." Ricky Rubio nodded.
"You have a lot of excellent cooperation in the usual games, it seems that tonight's slam dunk contest is really worth watching." Xu Nuo said.
"Now people say that the slam dunk contest is getting less and less interesting, it's not as exciting as it used to be." Derek Williams said, "Last year Blake Griffin and JaVale McGee were amazing, This year, it's my turn, Derek Williams, to bring something new to the dunk contest!"
"Sounds really good!" Promise said.
"Speaking of last year's slam dunk contest, JaVale McGee's double-dunk, double-dunk and triple-dunk performance was really amazing." Ricky Rubio said.
"Yes, but I personally prefer Andre Iguodala's post-rebound dunk in the 2006 All-Star Game in Houston," Promise said.
Hearing what Xu Nuo said, Derek Williams couldn't help but click his tongue.
"That dunk is really hard to match, I think I should try it sometime." Derek Williams said.
"Come on, be careful not to hit your head on the backboard." Promise said, and Ellen Page laughed.
"Promise, are you going to participate in the skills challenge tonight?" Ricky Rubio asked Promise.
"Yes!" Xu Nuo nodded and said, "I don't seem to have seen your name in the entry list. I thought you would also participate."
"Forget it this year, there will be opportunities in the future." Ricky Rubio said.
"I saw the entry list for the Skills Challenge, the lineup is quite luxurious!" Derek Williams said, "Promise, your pressure is really not small!"
"It doesn't matter. It would be best if we can win. It's okay if we lose. After all, there are many point guards in this league who are much better than me, such as Ricky." Xu Nuo said.
"It's still a matter of whether we are stronger or weaker!" Ricky Rubio said.
"It is estimated that this issue can only be settled after we retire." Xu Nuo said jokingly, and everyone laughed.
"Anyway, you're the champion tonight!" Derek Williams said.
Xu Nuo nodded, "You too!" Xu Nuo said.
Xu Nuo didn't tell Derek Williams that his teammate Paul George also participated in the slam dunk contest, because when Xu Nuo opened his mouth to talk about it, their destination arrived.
It was promised that they were at the largest Chinese restaurant in Orlando. Since it was already noon, there were quite a lot of people in the restaurant and it looked very lively.Xu Nuo and the others went straight to the most luxurious box in the restaurant, avoiding the noisy crowd outside and the noise that Xu Xu didn't like the most.
"Dude, you are the only one among us who is Chinese, and I will leave the ordering to you!" Derek Williams said, throwing the menu handed over by the waiter at Xu Nuo.
"Of course." Xu Nuo said, and opened the beautifully bound menu.
But the menu is beautifully bound, but not many of the dishes written in it are promised to entertain Ricky Rubio and others.However, this meeting is a rare one for them, promising to let Derek Williams and Ricky Rubio taste the best Chinese food no matter what.So he promised to put down the menu and asked the waiter, "What kind of Chinese food is your restaurant best at?"
"Lu cuisine." The waiter said.
"Shandong cuisine?" Xu Nuo frowned, picked up the menu and read it again, only to realize that most of the dishes written on the menu were Shandong dishes.
"I didn't expect to eat Shandong cuisine here in Orlando." Xu Nuo thought so, raised his head and said to the waiter: "Well, let's make some signature dishes of your restaurant and try them."
The waiter nodded and left the room.
While waiting for the food to be served, Xu Nuo began to talk with Ricky Rubio about going to the Nou Camp to watch the Barcelona football match, which aroused Ellen Paige's strong interest.
"Why do you keep talking about Barcelona?" Ellen Page asked Promise.
Xu Nuo smiled, "We are talking about FC Barcelona." Xu Nuo said.
"Also because Barcelona is my hometown," Ricky Rubio said.
"Whenever you're going to Barcelona, I'm going too!" Ellen Page said.
"Not necessarily." Xu Nuo took a sip of water and said, "I guess it's unlikely this year, because we still have playoffs to play, maybe next season. Moreover, this year's Champions League final will be held in Bayern Munich It's at the Allianz Arena, not at the Camp Nou."
"Actually, I don't mind where the game is played as long as I can see the Barcelona game," Ricky Rubio said.
Xu Nuo nodded, "But I feel better at Camp Nou." Xu Nuo said.
After a while, the dishes started to be served slowly. The first one was honey yam, then sweet and sour carp and prawns with hundreds of flowers.At the beginning, I promised that I didn't have much hope for these dishes, but the taste was really bad after a taste.Promised that he didn't eat much, Derek Williams and the others repeatedly praised the taste.However, in terms of how to use chopsticks, Xu Nuo was almost laughed at by Derek Williams and the others.
However, for Xu Nuo, Derek Williams and Ricky Rubio, tonight's game is the most important. shock.And Ellen Page, who didn't watch the game last night because she felt that the Rookie Challenge was boring, will also go to the Amway Arena tonight to cheer for them.With Ellen Page by my side, Derek Williams and Ricky Rubio cheering for me, I promise that there is no reason why I can't win the Skills Challenge!
