Chapter 210 We are brothers!
At the dinner table, Paul George was introducing Xu Xiang to his sister and father.
Their family is all athletes, either playing basketball or even playing volleyball, and George himself is a "superstar" basketball player, so they know a lot about some news in the basketball field. Naturally, they are not too unfamiliar with Xu Xiang, who has been hot recently, but they have nothing to explain.
After the meal, George made a cup of coffee for Xu Xiang, and the two sat on the sofa and chatted.
After being silent for a while, George was the first to speak:
"Xu, I'm so lucky to have you this season."
Xu Xiang didn't know how to answer the first sentence, so he could only reply vaguely: "It's okay, I'm not fighting alone."
Seeing Xu Xiang's cautious look, George burst out laughing instantly.
"Where are you going? I really want to ask you if you have worked hard. After all, this is your rookie season. It must not be easy to hold the team on your shoulders."
Xu Xiang breathed a sigh of relief quietly, and said:
"Tired must be tiring. Several times at the end, I felt that my physical strength was about to fail, but fortunately, I persisted."
George nodded and agreed:
"I watched your games. This is not a year or two. It was like this when I was not injured. When it came to the critical moment, no one could stand up. I was also very distressed. After all, I can't score 48 points in every game, right?"
"It's different now."
George patted Xu Xiang on the shoulder, said with a smile:
"After I'm fully recovered, the two of us can take turns leading the team to play. You see, every time there is a timeout for the first substitution, there is no end point on the field. Every time we have to "wipe the ass" of those guys on the bench."
This is indeed a big problem. The Pacers' bench is at a disadvantage against anyone, and there is no stable end point. Now that CJ Miles is placed behind the bench, it's a little better. Like before, they basically lose points every time.
Xu Xiang raised his eyebrows and said:
"Any ideas?"
"The idea is nothing. When I was in the hospital some time ago, I would think about these things when I had nothing to do. I also figured out something. I mentioned it to Coach Nate. If he thinks it is feasible, he will definitely arrange it." George smiled casually.
Xu Xiang didn't continue to ask, he didn't leave for the time being, he would definitely see it, and he would know when the time came.
George picked up his cup and stood up. After taking a sip, he said, "Indian City is a good place, you know? When I first entered the league, I heard a word from the "boss" Danny Granger at that time."
"What?"
Xu Xiang also stood up, walked to him and asked.
Paul George glanced back at him, took a sip of coffee and said with a smile, "He said [It would be great if I could bring a championship trophy to Indian City!]"
"I didn't quite understand his thoughts at the time, young man, champion? What's the big deal, give me three years, and I'll show you a championship!"
After a pause, he continued to say with blurred eyes:
"Three years and three years, I have been working hard for this goal, but the champion is getting farther and farther away from me."
He turned his head and glanced at Xu Xiang and continued:
"Do you know? If you hadn't shown up, I would definitely leave here after the contract ends and look for a new direction. Over the past few years, I think I've done well enough, but every time I fall short." He stretched out his palm, and gestured to Xu Xiang with five fingers together.
Xu Xiang nodded. That's true. The Pacers have met James several times in the Eastern Conference finals, and each time the Pacers ended in defeat.
Moreover, in his previous life, George did choose to leave Indian City after the contract expired, travel westward to Oklahoma, and team up with Westbrook, and re-launch the championship in another way.
"But it's different now."
George turned his head, stared at Xu Xiang, and said:
"Your appearance made me feel that here I have regained my courage to fight again." He pressed his hand, stopped Xu Xiang from wanting to say something, and said:
"I'm not complimenting you. It's the truth. I've always wanted the team to find me a partner, but they all refused for various reasons. Indian City is not a big city, and it's very remote. They don't want to spend tens of millions of dollars a year to go out."
"However, you are different. You are a rookie and your contract is very small, but your strength is no worse than those who hold tens of millions!"
Xu Xiang drank the remaining coffee in the cup, shook his head and said:
"When you recover from your injury, the team will still be handed over to you." Paul George stopped him before he finished speaking.
"There is no who and who's team, Xu, I have said so many things to you today just to tell you."
"Don't have burdens, don't have doubts, just go in the direction you know, and I'll take care of the rest!"
"we are brothers!"
Xu Xiang looked at Paul George with a firm expression in front of him, the sourness in his eyes seemed to be irrepressible, he nodded fiercely, and said:
"Yes! We are brothers!"
The champion you mentioned, I will help you get it!
Under the setting sun, two pairs of big hands hold each other tightly, this is the start of a dream!
Back home, Mallory looked at Paul George, whose eyes were slightly red. Thinking of their visit to Paul George today, he suddenly felt a sense in his heart.
"How? Have you seen him?"
Xu Xiang paused in putting his clothes on, and said slowly:
"Ah."
"went well?"
"It went well."
"That's fine."
Mallory breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. As Xu Xiang's closest person now, Paul George's comeback has always been within her consideration. It is not uncommon for players to disagree and fight for the boss. She is afraid that Xu Xiang and Paul George will have conflicts at that time, which will be troublesome.
Now I heard that "the chat went well", which meant that things didn't go badly. As for what the chat was about, she didn't care too much. Since Xu Xiang said it went well, that's fine.
Then, some [things] that have been prepared can also be announced as cancelled.
This is not a "little person's heart". In the "big dye vat" of the alliance, if you don't pay attention, you will be stained black by others. If this is the case, why not take action in advance?It's better than passive acceptance, right?
Because his father is the owner of the team, Mallory knows this better than anyone else, and it's never a bad thing to prepare in advance.
On March 3, a "welcome ceremony" was held within the team to celebrate the return of Pickled Pepper from injury.
Coach Nate looked at Xu Xiang who was helping Pickle Pepper to recover, and nodded meaningfully. Everything is going in a good direction.
