Chapter 28: . Nie Chuan's First Group Practice

When Nie Chuan woke up with sleepy eyes, they found that they came to the door of a Hong Kong-style tea restaurant.
"Get out of the car, Nie Chuan, eat!"
"Wow! I like morning tea at this chain of tea restaurants the best! Prawn dumplings and barbecued pork buns are great!" Nie Chuan's eyes brightened and he patted Ewing's arm strongly.
Ewing also laughed: "It seems that Reese is looking for a place!"
"Reese?"
When Nie Chuan followed Ewing to a round table, he realized that Reese had been sitting by the window and holding an English newspaper in his hand. In the morning light, Reese's features were more beautiful. Can't help but look in his direction.
"Hey, Reese! Here we are!" Carlo Dala sat down.
Ewing sniffed like a child in the air, with an intoxicated expression: "It's so sweet ..."
Nie Chuan can see it, Ewing is a foodie.
"I've ordered the food," Reese said lightly.
"Hurry up! Get ready! I'm hungry!" Ewing licked his lips.
Carlo frowned and said, "How do I remember you, like me, before eating three burgers in the restaurant!"
"I'm hungry now, can't I?" Ewing glared at Carlow.
"Well, you're a bottomless pit ..."
Below the table, Ewing slammed in the direction of Carlo, but Carlo's legs avoided to the side. Who knew that he hit Nie Chuan's knee? In the arms of someone nearby.
"Ah! My barbecued pork bun!" Nie Chuan widened his eyes.
The moment the char-grilled buns fell on the plate, he realized that he seemed to be hugged by someone.
Nie Chuan stiffened his neck and turned his face, seeing that Reese had put the newspaper on the table.
"That ... Reese doesn't blame Ellen! Blame Ewing!"
"What?" Ewing glared at him, raising his fist and beating Carlow.
"It was you who kicked me first, and I would hit Allen in order to avoid you, and Allen accidentally hit Reese!"
"Well, stop arguing, let's eat. The two of you shouldn't eat at a table." Montenegro's expression of helplessness was rare.
"Huh!" Ewing didn't go too far.
"Eat." Reese's jaw lifted, and he glanced over Nie Chuan's barbecued pork bun on the plate, motioning him to continue eating.
Nie Chuan was pardoned. When he put the barbecued pork in his mouth, he thought that at that moment, the palm of Ris's hand was buckled on his left shoulder, and the place was inexplicably hot.
When they left the tea restaurant, Ewing was still thinking: "It's so delicious! That dumpling is so flexible!"
"That's shrimp dumplings," Nie Chuan answered.
"That bun with sweet meat filling is also delicious!"
"That's called barbecued pork bun."
"And the one with the egg wrapped in the transparent noodles is delicious!"
"That's sausage powder."
"Even next time, double! I knew I would not eat three more burgers!"
Ewing's regret made Nie Chuan temporarily forget the tension before the game.
After getting in the car, Nie Chuan, who was full of food, fell asleep again.
Carlo smiled. "This guy really looks like a kid. He sleeps when he gets in the car and eats when he gets out of the car."
"It's very good, leaving both physical strength and energy to practice." Montenegro said.
Carlo watched Reese's Land Rover from behind in the rearview mirror and followed them with a smile.
They finally came to the basketball court where the practice was scheduled.
Nie Chuan found that the basketball court was so close to the hospital where Conner was located. Is this something deliberate or coincidental?
"Hey, I rented this basketball court! Not bad!" Carlo patted his chest.
If it was Carlo, it should just be a coincidence.
"Can't you rent a place in the gym?" Ewing pouted.
"Just here." Reese took off his jacket and threw it on the chair beside him, and covered it with his sports bag. "Nie Chuan, don't forget to warm up."
"Ah, oh! Yes!" Nie Chuan also took off his coat.
At this time, their opponents from ukb walked into the basketball court with their sports backpacks.
Their center waved at Carlo: "Hey Carlo Brandon, it's been a long time!"
At first glance, Nie Chuan saw the other's leg, and he looked up along the leg, he was stupid.
Even if the height of these people is less than one hundred and ninety, there are one hundred and eighty-seven, one hundred and eighty-eight!
Nie Chuan didn't even look at them!
"I haven't seen you for a long time! Have you washed your neck?" Carlo raised an eyebrow.
The other side sneered, and after glancing around, his eyes fell on Nie Chuan's body: "Is he new to your team?"
"Yeah, the potential is endless. Watch your neck." Carlow's fingers stroked across his neck.
The center of ukb showed an expression of disbelief: "Just a little bit? I'm afraid he can't touch basketball."
In fact, Nie Chuan was also so worried.
"You're here with five people? Haven't you even got on the bench?"
"Five people is enough!" Carlo looked confident, but Nie Chuan drummed in his heart.
The opponent came with seven players, and Carlo had to send at least six of them! Even if you send Peter! At least Peter's height is superior to his Nie Chuan!
At this time, two middle-aged men came into the stadium. One of them had gray-blue eyes and looked very stern.
He sat behind the ukb.
Nie Chuan is even more nervous. How much does ukb attach importance to this practice match!
"Nie Chuan, warm up."
Rhys raised his chin, just a word, and took away the attention of all the players in the ukb.
Admired, envious, and disdainful, Nie Chuan can imagine that Reese must be the number one in the league to be feared.
Reese passed the ball to Nie Chuan, but Nie Chuan did not catch it and the ball hit the back of Ewing.
"Oh! Damn, what a fool ..." Ewing turned around and found that it was Nie Chuan, and his attitude changed immediately. "Alan, don't worry! Don't worry!
The more he said that, the more nervous Nie Chuan became, even his arms became stiff.
The opponent's point guard raised his eyebrows, crooked his head and complained with a small voice: "Even if our league performance last year was not good, udk need not be so perfunctory to us, right?"
Nie Chuan's mood is even worse.
"Don't be influenced by others." Reese's voice sounded in his ear.
"I know."
Only when the opponent entered, the sense of oppression became even more apparent.
Although Nie Chuan had singled out with Mark, Rees, Montenegro, and Peter, who were much taller than himself, never faced so many tall people at once!
As a point guard, it is an impossible task to bring the ball into the opponent's defensive zone. He will be knocked down by the opponent in minutes!
"Don't flinch." Reese's voice sounded again.
Nie Chuan is going crazy. Does Reese know how to read minds? Why does Reese know everything?
The game is about to start, the referee is the assistant coach of ukb.
With a whistle, the ball was thrown into the air, and Nie Chuan's heart was raised into his throat.
But Carlo's bouncing force was completely beyond the scope of Nie Chuan's imagination, especially in the speed of the force, he aggressively put the racket in the direction of Nie Chuan, Nie Chuan caught the ball, Ewing shouted: " Quick break! "
Nie Chuan realized his responsibility and rushed to the opponent's area.
Without three steps, the opponent's small forward stood in front of him.
"Pass him!" Carlow's shout came.
Unlike the usual casualness, Carlow's voice seemed calm and oppressive.
The opponent was very high, and Nie Chuan could not imagine the defense range of the opponent. He tried to quickly turn around the ball to bypass the opponent, but did not expect the opponent to follow closely and intercepted in front of him again.
The dk fast break is about to be disintegrated. At this time, Ewing shakes off the defender and comes to Nie Chuan: "Allen-pass!"
Nie Chuan passed the ball, Ewing dribble quickly broke through the opponent's two defenders and reached the three-pointer area, but the center of the opponent followed, and Ewing jumped and intercepted when Ewing was about to take off. Blocked Ewing's shot height.
Ewing pushed the ball aside and handed it to Montenegro. The speed of Montenegro was not covered. He suddenly lay up and a slam dunk rang through the sky.
"Hoo--" Nie Chuan exhaled.
"Back to defense!" Only Carlo shouted, and everyone quickly returned to defense, while Nie Chuan was on the front line.
The opponent's point guard in front of Nie Chuan shook his shoulder to the left very quickly, stopped suddenly, changed direction, threw away Nie Chuan in an aggressive manner, broke Ewing's defense, and quickly cut into the depths of dk.
Just when he was about to face Reese, he passed the ball to his small forward. The small forward continued to bring the ball to the layup, encountering double blocking by Carlo and Montenegro.
Montenegro jumped up and blocked the opponent's shot, while Carlo banged off the opponent's racket from behind.
As soon as Ewing received the ball, he was taken away by the opponent's point guard. Ewing didn't get irritated, but quickly caught up.
Nie Chuan followed, and Reese quickly intercepted the ball. The small forward who was rushed by the opponent just snatched the ball and took off without warning. A three-pointer went into the basket to overtake dk.
The pace of all this is too fast for Nie Chuan.
Not only is it changing rapidly, the most important thing is that Nie Chuan feels as if he does not belong to this stadium. With every pass, every attack and defense, he is like an outsider and cannot enter the state at all.
The small forward of the opponent walked in front of Reese, and grinned with his lips, "I'm sorry."
