In the end, the Indiana Pacers defeated the mighty Chicago Bulls in an away game with a score of 81:73 and won their fourth consecutive victory after the All-Star Game.After defeating the Chicago Bulls, the Indiana Pacers with a record of 46 wins and 44 losses beat the Chicago Bulls with [-] wins and [-] losses by one game, and the team's ranking was finally promoted to No. [-] in the Eastern Conference.
In this game, the promise of scoring 21 points and 24 assists in the game is undoubtedly the biggest contributor to helping the team win.Xu Nuo not only got the highest score and assists in the team, but more importantly, Xu Nuo successfully restricted the number one star of the Chicago Bulls, Derek Rose, in the game.Although Derrick Rose also scored a double-double of [-] points and [-] assists, which is comparable to the promise in terms of statistics, but most of the time Derrick Rose has been firmly watched by the promise, and his performance is actually not good. good.
Therefore, after the game, Coach Larry Brown made a special promise in the players' locker room.
"Promise's performance tonight was impeccable!" Coach Larry Brown said, "Promise tonight played his best performance on the offensive and defensive ends. It can be said that if we did not , we have no chance of winning tonight's game!"
As soon as Coach Larry Brown finished speaking, the players of the Indiana Pacers applauded and congratulated Xu Nuo, led by team captain Danny Granger.However, Darren Collison and OJ Mayo looked at each other, and their applause was not so enthusiastic.
In tonight's game, neither Darren Collison nor OJ Mayo got much playing time. Although OJ Mayo was the starting point guard in this game, OJ Mayo was replaced by coach Larry Brown after only playing for nearly 5 minutes in the first quarter, and he never got even if 1 minute of playing time.Darren Collison, who was originally the starting point guard for the Indiana Pacers, lost his starting position in tonight's game, and Darren Collison only got less than 3 minutes of playing time tonight .The rest of the playing time was divided between Promise and George Hill, and Promise played the most playing time among the four point guards.In this way, it is natural for Darren Collison and OJ Mayo to be dissatisfied.
And Coach Larry Brown seems to have realized this. Coach Larry Brown took a meaningful look at Darren Collison and OJ Mayo.
However, Xu Nuo didn't pay attention to the difference between Darren Collison and OJ Mayo, but drank the drink by himself.Just when Xu Nuo stood up and was about to take a comfortable hot shower in the bathroom, a team member walked into the player locker room.
"Promise, someone wants to see you." The team staff member said.
"Someone wants to see me?" Xu Nuo pointed to his nose, frowning and asked back.
"Yes." The team staff nodded.
"Who is it?" Xu Nuo asked.
"You'll know it when you see it." The team staff said.
"Oh?" Xu Nuo frowned, even more puzzled.
"Who is it?" Coach Larry Brown also asked the team staff member.
But the team staff still didn't tell Xu Xu who they wanted to see Xu Xu, "It's only 10 minutes, it only takes 10 minutes, it won't take up too much time for everyone." The team staff said.
Xu Nuo turned his head to look at Coach Larry Brown, and Coach Larry Brown seemed to realize that it was impossible to refuse the other party's request, so he nodded to Xu Nuo.Xu Nuo had no choice but to follow the team staff member out of the player locker room.
"Who wants to see me?" On the way, Xu Nuo asked again.
However, the team staff who promised to lead the way shrugged, "They said it was a secret, and they wouldn't let me tell you." The team staff replied.
Xu Nuo saw that he couldn't get anything out of the team staff member's mouth, so he had no choice but to stop asking.They walked through large and small corridors in the United Center Arena in Chicago, and came to a door that looked very large and heavy. Xu Nuo subconsciously looked up at the small iron sign above the door, and saw that it said Words like "VIP room".
"VIP room?" Xu Nuo opened his mouth wide in surprise.
The team staff member who led the way for promise nodded heavily, then raised his right hand and gently knocked on the heavy wooden door in front of him.
A middle-aged man in a black suit opened the door, "I brought him here." The team staff member who led the promise said so.
The middle-aged man nodded, and the team staff who led Xu Xu turned around and left, leaving Xu Xu there. "Come in." The middle-aged man said to Xu Nuo in a calm voice.
Xu Nuo swallowed nervously, and followed the middle-aged man into the room marked as a VIP room with a feeling of uneasiness.The VIP room is a large room with a patterned carpet on the floor, which is very soft to walk on.In the center of the VIP room is a large glass table surrounded by three large sofas with cushions.And on the sofa diagonally opposite to the entrance of the VIP room, sat a thin-looking black man, he was——
"President ***!" Xu Nuo said in surprise in his heart, but on the surface he made great efforts not to look very surprised.
"You wait outside first." President Barack *** said to the middle-aged man, the middle-aged man nodded, bowed to President Barack ***, turned and walked out of the VIP room.
"Sit down." Mr. President Barack *** smiled and said to Promise who stood there looking a little embarrassed.
Xu Nuo carefully sat on the edge of the sofa, with his hands resting on his lap.At this time, Xu Nuo was most worried about what to do if a bodyguard of President Barack *** suddenly rushed in and shot him dead.
Mr. President Barack *** seemed to be aware of Xu Nuo's embarrassment at this time, and a smile appeared on his face again.But now, Xu Nuo has gradually calmed down due to the super strong psychological quality that Xu Nuo has cultivated in the arena.
"I saw your excellent performance in the game tonight," Mr. President Barack *** said, "You performed really well tonight, so I want to chat with you. You know Well, the meeting between us is international!" President Barack *** said with a smile.
Hearing what Mr. President Barack *** said, Xu Nuo couldn't help showing a smile.However, at the same time, Xu Nuo was still thinking in his mind: "Let's talk? What exactly do we want to talk about? Do we want to talk about the current Sino-US relations? Or the current world political situation? Or Is it the upcoming U.S. presidential election this year?"
Xu Nuo was thinking wildly like this, and Mr. President Barack *** said: "In tonight's game, your performance was impeccable, and your perfect performance even completely surpassed the Chicago Bulls star Derek. Ross!"
Xu Nuo smiled slightly, "Actually, I was able to perform so well in tonight's game, even I didn't even think of it." Xu Nuo said, "Derrick Rose is a great point guard. An MVP-caliber player, so I don't really beat him right now."
Mr. President Barack *** smiled slightly, "You Chinese nation is a nation that pays attention to the virtue of modesty, and I appreciate you very much." Mr. President Barack *** said, "But you must know that in In the United States, it will not work if you are blindly humble and forbearing."
Xu Nuo frowned, but he quickly regained his composure. "Thank you for your warning, Mr. President." Xu Nuo said, "But I believe that I will occupy my own place in the United States!"
"In fact, you have already occupied your own place in the United States," Mr. President Barack *** said, "Now your popularity in the United States, especially among the fans, is comparable to that of Kobe Bryant. , LeBron James and other superstars on par."
"But I think the most popular figure in the United States should be you, Mr. President." Xu Nuo said with a smile.
"Me?" President Barack *** smiled and shook his head, "You have to know that my approval rate among the American people is less than 50.00%, which is at the middle level at best."
"You've done quite well!" Xu Nuo said with a smile.
"Thank you," Mr. President Barack *** said with the same smile, "However, today we will not talk about politics, we will only talk about things related to basketball."
"I know you are a president who loves basketball very much," Xu Nuo said.
"I liked it when I was young, and I still can't give up basketball. Even in the White House, we often organize some basketball games." Mr. President Barack *** said with a smile, "If you can, you can go to the White House Come to a basketball game and we can compete on the court together."
"It's a pleasure to receive your invitation." Xu Nuo said sincerely.
"I will be looking forward to the moment when we can compete together," said President Barack *** with a smile. "It will definitely be a very interesting game!"
