Chapter 500 The President and Bodyguards

The Hawks defeated the Wizards in an away game, but they did not fly back to Atlanta immediately after the game, but stayed in Washington on standby.

On the one hand, the Hawks' December schedule starts on December 12, so they have another 12 days off; on the other hand, Atlanta still has two things to do in Washington.

The first thing, in fact, should be said to be Ruan Erniu's personal honor. David Stern arrived here two days ago. He carefully prepared the press conference for the Eastern POM in the first month of the NBA. Ruan Erniu, a highly praised star in the league, gained more exposure.

Ruan Erniu naturally couldn't live up to Mr. President's kindness, so he attended the press conference at the request of the alliance.

At the press conference, a reporter asked: "What do you think of your performance in the past month?"

Ruan Erniu said: "This question should be judged by all fans, but I am personally satisfied with my own performance!"

Another reporter asked: "You scored an astonishing 11 points in a single game in November, can you think that you are already the league's top scorer?"

Ruan Erniu said bluntly and confidently: "Last season, I was No.2 in the scoring average in the regular season. I think I have always been the league's top scorer!"

Then someone asked: "Kraft, you put forward the idea of ​​becoming the MVP at the beginning of the season. Now that the Hawks have the best record in the league, can you think that you will put more energy on statistics in the next time? "

Ruan Erniu asked with a smile: "I don't think these are two contradictory things, or do you think the league's current top scorer and rebounder are actually poor statistics?"

There are many idiot questions, but some people also asked very reliable questions: "The Eagles' main opponents in November are all Eastern teams, and they have limited away games. In the next games, you will encounter more The western team and the road trip, you and Jon Jonson have both experienced the Olympic Games this summer, how will you deploy your physical fitness?"

After thinking for a while, Ruan Erniu said: "The game cannot be smooth sailing forever, and we never expected to play 82 home games in a season. In fact, it is not just about physical fitness. As the defending champion, we must do well to be recognized by the whole team." The possibility of impact from other teams in the league. We can only reserve our physical fitness in a more scientific way, but we will still work hard to win!"

Erniu's words are ambiguous, but anyone with a heart can understand it. Without affecting the ranking, it's not that the Eagles can't do things that can be done without effort in the game.

In this era of the NBA, there are some things that can be done but cannot be said, and in a few years, some things can not only be done, but can also be said on the table in a grandiose manner.

The press conference was successfully concluded, and Ruan Erniu once again showed his face in the capital of the United States, and the league also achieved the role of promoting stars.

After the Eagles finished the first matter, they immediately had to deal with the second matter, that is, the whole team was invited by the President of the United States, Bush, to be received by the President of the United States at the White House.

This is also the practice of the president of the United States. Basically, the championship teams of the NFL, MLB and other leagues are received by the president every year. The Atlanta Hawks were the champions of last season, so they are naturally invited.

In the press hall of the White House, Ruan Erniu presented the No. [-] jersey with his name on it to President Bush on behalf of the Eagles.

The tenure of Mr. Toilet is coming soon, and the Atlanta Hawks should be the most popular championship team during his tenure.

Ruan Erniu joked with a smile: "So, is Billy Knight going to sign him with a 10-day short contract?"

Bush also laughed and said, "That's right, maybe you still need an excellent point guard, lest you let the center forward dribble!"

After speaking, everyone laughed.

President Bush gave an impassioned speech, and he said a lot of words to carry forward the past, and at the end he wished the Hawks another championship in the 08-09 season. He said that he would like to meet them again at the White House.

In the end, Bush clearly understood that this was impossible, and he had been doing it for eight years.

However, the president is the president, and he is definitely not the low-energy person who is not even a township cadre as the Chinese jokes say.

Bush immediately changed his words: "If you win, you can come to Texas to find me!" (Bush grew up in Texas, where he has a farm.)
At this point, applause and laughter rang out.

The process of being received by the President of the United States is not a rigid ceremony, full of various humor and fun.

After the interview ended, the Hawks boarded the plane back to Atlanta.

After getting off the plane, the Eagles players automatically disbanded and went home.

Er Niu just wanted to take a taxi back, but saw Ouyang Haotian who had been waiting for a long time at the airport.

"Steven? You didn't go back to Los Angeles?" Ruan Erniu said in surprise.

Ouyang Haotian stretched his suit and asked back: "Someone sent me around, do I have time to go back?"

Ruan Erniu quickly grabbed Ouyang Haotian's hand in a serious manner, shook it vigorously, and said, "Comrade, thank you for your hard work!"

Ouyang Haotian broke away Erniu's hand with a look of disgust, and said helplessly: "Although you have always used people to death, what you do is still reliable. I have taken care of Eddie's affairs, and I will handle the adoption procedures." It's almost done, you go back to Ms. Han's and sign again and it's OK!"

Ruan Erniu nodded, put away the slickness, and said solemnly: "Thank you!"

Ouyang Haotian waved his hand and said: "Don't be too busy to thank me! I helped you with the matter, and that's because you did a good deed, and I am also willing to help others. But another thing, shouldn't you also Is it on the agenda?"

Ruan Erniu asked suspiciously, "What's the matter?"

"Don't play dumb with me, of course it's a matter of having bodyguards! Do you think you are still an ordinary person? You are a billionaire now, so you should have the tone of a rich man!"

Ruan Erniu shook his head and said, "Didn't everyone call you? The matter is settled? Why do you need a bodyguard? It's not that I don't have the money, but I just don't think it's necessary."

Ouyang Haotian gritted his teeth and said, "Who said it was unnecessary? This time the matter was resolved, what about the next time? Are you going to risk the crime scene again?"

Ruan Erniu chuckled and said, "How could such a coincidence happen?"

"Okay! Don't talk nonsense, man, I brought you all!" Ouyang Haotian stepped aside after speaking, and let out the man beside him.

This is a middle-aged man who is quiet and will not attract the attention of others when he is thrown into the crowd. He is less than 180cm tall and looks very short in front of Erniu.

Anyway, Er Niu had been noticed from just now.

Ouyang Haotian introduced: "This is Mr. Gu Shengjian. From now on, he will be your bodyguard."

Ruan Erniu stretched out his hand with a smile, and said to Gu Shengjian slightly teasingly: "Mr. Gu, how close is your personal protection?"

Gu Shengjian was expressionless, and said flatly: "I can only say that I will do my best to ensure your safety!"

"hiss!"

Ruan Erniu suddenly felt that his hand was clamped by a pair of steel pliers. This Gu Shengjian's name is very celestial, and his methods are really not covered.

Ouyang Haotian had to fly back to Los Angeles, so the task of sending Erniu home fell on Gu Shengjian.

As soon as he got in the car, Gu Shengjian, who was about to drive in the front row, gave Er Niu another surprise.

The middle-aged uncle said to Er Niu: "Mr. Ruan, do you eat walnuts?"

Ruan Erniu said, "Okay! Do you have any ready-made ones?"

Gu Shengjian took out the paper bag at his feet, opened it, and placed it in front of Erniu.

Ruan Erniu looked at it and asked doubtfully, "Old Gu, why don't you just give me raw walnuts? At least give me tongs for eating walnuts, right?"

Gu Shengjian nodded and said, "No, I'll clip it for you directly!"

After finishing speaking, Gu Shengjian directly put his hand into the paper bag, clamped three walnuts between his fingertips, and then worked hard.

"Crack~~!"

The next moment, three crushed walnuts appeared on Er Niu's palm.

Ruan Erniu understood that he really met an expert!
