super point guard

Chapter 84 OJ - Mayo

The results of Darren Collison's MRI are in.

The promise came when they arrived at their home arena, Conseco Arena, with George Hill, and when they stepped into their players' locker room, the teammates in the locker room were talking about it.

"Promise, George, do you know about Darren?" Roy Hibbert asked Xu Xu.

"You mean Darren's injury?" George Hill asked. "How's Darren's injury?"

"It's not optimistic!" Danny Granger said with a sigh.

"Will Darren really be absent for a long time?" Xu Nuo asked.

David West nodded, "Yeah!" David West said, "The test results showed that Darren's leg bone has cracked, and the doctor said that Darren will be out for almost two months." time."

"It's so serious!" Xu Nuo stuck out his tongue and said.

"In this way, our team will only have two point guards, you and George Hill." Danny Granger said to Xu Xu.

"I don't think George and I will be able to play the role of the team's starting point guard," Promise said. "Darren's absence will have a great impact on our team."

"What you said is only half right." Danny Granger said to Xu Nuo.

"Huh?" Xu Nuo frowned.

"Darren's absence will indeed have a great impact on our team, especially when Darren has been absent for such a long time." Danny Granger said, "However, you should not say that you and George It's hard to qualify for the team's starting point guard. If you're an NBA player, you should volunteer yourself and show Coach Larry Brown what you're capable of. Let Coach Larry Brown know that you too Can be the team's starting point guard!"

"Oh, I see." Xu Nuo said.

Sitting next to Xu Nuo, Roy Hibbert patted Xu Nuo's shoulder, "In my opinion, Coach Larry Brown will definitely let you be the team's starting point guard." Roy Hibbert said .

After Xu Nuo heard it, he glanced at George Hill, who was lowering his head and concentrating on lacing his sneakers. Xu Nuo didn't know if George Hill heard what Roy Hibbert said.

So Xu Nuo said: "But our team still has George. No matter in terms of skills and game experience, George is more qualified than me to be the team's starting point guard."

"If I were Coach Larry Brown, I'd let you be the team's starting point guard." Danny Granger said while throwing his sneakers on the floor.

"Why?" Xu Nuo asked in bewilderment.

"If I were Coach Larry Brown, I'd put George as a bench-surprise guy who can be effective as soon as he gets off the bench, and I'd let you be the team's starting point guard." Danny Granger said to Promise, and then he looked at George Hill who was concentrating on putting on his shoelaces, "What do you think, George?" Danny Granger asked George Hill.

George Hill raised his head and said with a smile: "That's what I did when I was in the San Antonio Spurs. If I'm allowed to do this job again, of course I am very willing."

Xu Nuo looked at George Hill and felt in his heart that this must not be what George Hill had in mind.

Roy Hibbert next to Xu Xu seemed to want to say something, but at this time the door of the players' locker room opened, and their head coach, Coach Larry Brown, appeared at the door of the locker room.

Seeing his head coach walk into the locker room, all the players in the locker room stood up, "Morning coach!" Xu Xu said with a smile.

Coach Larry Brown nodded slightly, and then Coach Brown said in his deep voice to the players in the locker room: "I think everyone knows about Darren's absence due to injury."

"Yes," team captain Danny Granger nodded, "We all feel very sorry for Darren and hope Darren recovers sooner."

"Since everyone already knows, here I have a few words to tell you." Coach Larry Brown said, and the locker room immediately fell silent.

Coach Larry Brown looked at the players in the locker room, and said slowly but very forcefully: "First of all, I hope that during the period of Darren's absence, we can continue to play in the way we used to, I think after these few games, it can be proved that the way we play now can bring us victory; and the second point is that I hope everyone will not talk about it in private during Darren's absence. The problem with the team's starting point guard."

The players in the locker room looked at each other, "We know, coach." Team captain Danny Granger said.

"Very good!" Coach Larry Brown nodded and said, "Now that everyone is here, let's start training!"

Xu Nuo didn't dare to disobey Coach Larry Brown's words, and hurried out of the locker room.Before walking out of the locker room, Xu Nuo glanced out of the corner of his eye at Darren Collison's empty locker near the door.The other players didn't speak any more, they left the locker room one after another and walked towards the training ground.

During practice this morning, no one on the team talked about the team's new starting point guard anymore, and it seems that coach Larry Brown's iron fist is showing its effect.The players were all sweating and training, and no one said a word.And promise yourself that you will not violate Coach Larry Brown's ban. During the entire training process, promise only talked to DeRozan when he was trying free throws with DeMar DeRozan. Time did not say a word.

Even on the way home, Xu Nuo didn't say a few words to George Hill.What Xu Nuo had in his mind was always the game against the Houston Rockets at home the night after tomorrow, because now there was news that he was likely to get the Eastern Conference Rookie of the Week award in the first week, and this news We will see the outcome in the game the day after tomorrow.

However, when Xu Nuo was about to enjoy a beautiful and leisurely afternoon after returning home, troubles found Xu Nuo again.

When Xu Nuo just walked through the iron fence door and walked into the small yard of his house, the maid Lana immediately greeted her.

"Master must be exhausted from training in the morning, hurry up and have lunch and rest." While talking, Lana showed her coquettish smile to Xu Nuo.

"Okay, I see." Xu Nuo said with a frown. Ever since Xu Nuo suspected that Lana was "conspiring to do something wrong" last night, Xu Nuo has always been wary of Lana.Xu Nuo didn't say a word to Lana, and walked straight to the door, Lana hurriedly followed behind Xu Nuo.

In this afternoon, Xu Nuo had to find a way to avoid the maid Lana.But Xu Nuo found that no matter how hard she tried, Lana could always appear in front of her eyes and show her charming smile at herself.Xu promised that he had no choice but to choose to go for a walk along the Ohio River not far from his home, so that he could avoid Lana's "tracking".While taking a walk, Xu Nuo made up his mind to let Mom and Dad get rid of the maid Lana.

Although Lana's matter has always been a headache for Xu Nuo, but on the second day, before knowing whether he will be the Rookie of the Week, Xu Nuo and his teammates encountered another thing that made them happy.However, for Xu Nuo, this matter is a bit mixed.

When Xu promised that they came to the arena the next day, their head coach, Coach Larry Brown, was already in the players' locker room. Xu Xu had never seen Coach Larry Brown before everyone came to the locker room. Entered the locker room, so Promise was taken aback when he saw Coach Larry Brown sitting in the players' locker room.

But coach Larry Brown is not alone in the player locker room, there is another player.

"You are all here," Coach Larry Brown said to Xu Xu and them, "Come and meet the new player of our team-OJ Mayo, but I believe you must have known each other."

"OJ Mayo?" Xu Nuo was taken aback.

The player who had been sitting in the locker room looked up, and it was OJ Mayo!

"Hi, everyone!" OJ Mayo said to Xu Xu with a smile.

"Last night, the team just completed the deal. The team traded power forward Josh McRoberts and shooting guard Brandon Rush from the Memphis Grizzlies for our new player OJ Mayo." Coach Lee Brown said to everyone.

Danny Granger nodded, "Hello, Irvington." Danny Granger walked over and said to OJ Mayo.

So everyone greeted OJ Mayo one by one, but when greeting OJ Mayo, the promise was a little reluctant.

The reluctance of the promise is not because the arrival of OJ Mayo is likely to strengthen the team's backcourt competition. After all, OJ Mayo is a very capable defender. Lisson's absence has a negative impact on the team.Instead, he promised to hear coach Larry Brown say that the team also used one of his good friends, Josh McRoberts, as a bargaining chip, and he couldn't help but feel a little sad.

After Danny Granger knew Xu Nuo's thoughts, he smiled and said to Xu Nuo: "When I was a rookie player, I was like you, but I think you will definitely be like us, slowly Get used to it."

Will I get used to it someday in the future?Promise unknown.

At this time, the team's assistant coach, Coach Dan Burke, walked into the players' locker room, "Is the promise coming?" Coach Dan Burke asked.

"I'm here, coach!" Xu Nuo said.

"Hey, I have good news for you!" Coach Dan Bourke said, "The NBA has officially announced the winners of various awards in the first week, and you won the Rookie of the Week award in the Eastern Conference."

"It's really the best rookie of the week award!" Everyone exploded in the player's locker room after hearing it, "Congratulations, rookie!"

"Congratulations, newcomer." OJ Mayo also said to Xu Nuo with a smile.

"Thank you." Xu Nuo said, at this moment, a brilliant idea suddenly came to Xu Nuo's mind.
