"Let me be the captain? Why?"

It’s not that Xie Hou can’t be the captain. If the role of captain is the strongest person in the team, then it’s naturally his. But it’s not that captains are often those who are very appealing and able to speak in the locker room.

Bird asked back: "Why can't you be the captain? What's the problem?"

Xie Hou has many questions, "Why is it him?" Secondly, "Austin Crohill and Jeff Foster have deeper qualifications than him, and they are more suitable to be the captain of the team."

Bird nodded: "If you compare your qualifications in the team, you are really not the best candidate."

Walsh remained silent, Bird's opinion was equivalent to his opinion.

Rick Claire continued Bird's words and said: "But, Arthur, you have the ability to mobilize everyone. Except for you, no one in the team can speak while making everyone prick up their ears and listen carefully."

"Some." Xie Hou said nonsense, "Reggie."

Bird smiled and said, "The opening match of the new season happens to be his jersey retirement ceremony. Do you want the retired player captain?"

It took a very short time for Xie Hou to be persuaded from the initial opposition to being persuaded.

For the team, what they need is not only a person who can speak, but also a person who can drive everyone.

Xie Hou is fully in line with this positioning.

Strength group, appeal and leadership.

The tempering of last season made him the real leader of the team. The only one he was underestimated was his age. The 25-year-old young man now has to support the appearance of a championship team.

Miller's hard bones will turn into ashes with his retirement, and fans will remember the era he represents.

It was a tough time.

But Miller has no season that matches Sherlock's rookie season and sophomore season.

mVp, for a while... this is an honor that fans dare not think about.

"Reggie is not here, people are wafting, you have to gather morale." Bird's next words convinced him, "take your responsibility, Arthur."

Xie Hou raised the mellow wine: "Three gentlemen, please solemnly to the new captain of the Indiana Pacers for a glass of wine."

※※※

On September 15, Xie Hou drove to Cumberland alone.

Cumberland is about 130 kilometers away from downtown Indiana. She wanted to follow her, but was rejected by Xie Hou.

Because Xuewei opened a second branch in Indiana, it was just the time to need manpower.

"Ni Jiang, do you really treat me as the store owner?" Xie Hou felt ashamed of his cousin's complaint.

The son stayed, but the price was that Xie Hou had to go to Cumberland alone.

It is said that he is alone, but in addition to him, there are Robert III and Alex Sanning in Xie Hou's car.

Since they were three people, why were they still alone? Well, because King Arthur did not regard these two beasts as humans. They were devils and came to punish him specifically.

The Pacers' preseason training camp is located in Cumberland, a scenic spot.

After staying in a place like Indianapolis for a long time, you will feel comfortable everywhere you go.

Every time I go to a new place, Xie Hou will think, "It would be great if this was our home court." Cumberland is an industrial center in the nearby agricultural, forestry and coal area of ​​Indiana, with fiber, synthetic fiber, diamond, glass, petrochemical, metal processing, etc.

Moreover, every May, racing competitions are held here.

Unfortunately, May is the time for fierce competition in the nBa playoffs.

Therefore, even if it is only 120 kilometers apart, Xie Hou and the others have no time to come and see it.

When participating in the preseason training camp for the second time, Xie Hou is already in a state of mind.

Unlike the previous two times, this time, there will be no Reggie Miller in training camp.

There are many new faces this year, with rookie rookies including Danny Granger and Andre Blachi, a mature wing shooter and a talented high school player.

Moreover, the team has renewed the contract with veteran Payton for two years, with the second year as the player option.

It can be seen that Payton is still unwilling to give up.

If the Pacers hadn't experienced so many things last season, they would definitely have the potential to compete for the championship. They finally fell in front of the Pistons, and they really felt like they were reincarnated.

The Pistons defeated the Pacers to take revenge, but failed to win the championship as they wished. The Eastern Conference Finals with the Pacers caused them to lose their inside core Ben Wallace, and were defeated by the Spurs six games in the finals.

Pacers fans were very satisfied with the results.

Payton was not satisfied with the result of last season. Since so many things happened to the Pacers, Payton's law became a joke. His successive sacrifices were not rewarded. He did not want to retire as cowardly as Malone. Since he chose this path, he must look like he did.

As long as there are strong teams who are willing to ask him, as long as there is still a chance to get a ring, he will not retire.

The Pacers valued his experience and defense. After Miller retired, he needed a loud voice to urge young people in the locker room and training ground, and Payton was just right.

In addition to Payton, Kirilenko renewed her contract with a maximum salary, and Papalucas signed a five-year, 220,000 contract with the team, of which the fourth year is the player option.

With the addition of Wang Zhizhi and Swift and others, the Pacers' wings and inside reserves are extremely rich.

Some fans are worried about the team's back line reserves.

Both Shehou and Papalucas were good, but the substitutes could only produce products like Vujasic and Gerald Fitch 1.

1 Xie Hou asked Lao Wang for the ball for them when he was fighting with bulls.

Outside the Cumberland Training Center, Xie Hou and his trainers easily passed the security level.

It was Xie Hou who told the team in advance to bring a private trainer, and Robert III and Sanning have their own apartment.

Xie Hou was temporarily separated from them and took his luggage to his apartment.

Before he came, the place had been cleaned up and he just needed to take out all the useful things and place them smoothly.

Xie Hou finished all these trivial things that he usually gave to Guizi. He put on a training exercise suit, stretched his limbs, walked out of the door, and ran towards the training hall.

There are a lot of people, the coaching staff is already in place, and Artest is teaching the rookie lesson.

It is better to catch up with it by chance than to catch up with it early. Xie Hou ran into a beast fighting with Granger as soon as he arrived.

Artest has not played for more than a year, and according to the nBa suspension date - it will be suspended for one year from November 19 last year. He will not be officially lifted until November 19 this year.

In other words, he will have to miss eight games when the new season begins.

Granger is worthy of being a hero who was favored by Bird. He is not at all afraid of the irritable beast. He is a American bullfighter who is 11 goals and wins and loses. He scored 10 points first without the advantage in physical confrontation and got the match point.

"Ron, it seems that your position is out of stock!"

"What have you been doing this year?"

"Ron can't beat the rookie!"

If the idle people watching were not so silly, Artest might have allowed Granger to win this game. Now it has become a game for him to defend his dignity, without any hesitation, defensive strength, physical confrontation, and everything he should give. How can Granger, who has only played in the summer league level game, withstand the full defense of the former Dpoy without referee constraints?

Granger could not withstand Artest's confrontation.

"Rookie, weren't you crazy just now?" Artest was explosion-proof Granger.

Within five minutes, Granger missed a goal.

Artest's offense is too rough, and he really loses his level if he doesn't play for too long. His offensive skills were also rough before, and he could get an average of 15 points with his brute force. But now, Xie Hou is worried that his average score will fall to single digits.

He kept defending Granger to death, and he slowly grinded and grinded in.

Granger, who was in a disadvantage in physical confrontation, was reversed by Artest, 11 to 10, and the game ended, and the old bird shamelessly defended his dignity.

"Who else is here? Even if I haven't played a game for a year, I will still be so cruel to you!" Artest shouted arrogantly.

Xie Hou wanted to let Atai pretend, but he couldn't stand someone so arrogant in front of him and didn't teach him a lesson. Novice and newcomers really don't know who said it here.

"Atai, if you say that, I will fight with you." Xie Hou was ready to fight, and he wanted to seek justice for Granger.

Artest is not afraid of anyone, just afraid of fighting with Xie Hou.

When Xie Hou had no NBa game, he could beat him up casually. Now two years have passed and he has not played another year. Where can he have any chance of winning against him?

"I'll help you educate newcomers...what are you doing?" Artest appeared to teach what a textbook-like admit defeat is.

Xie Xie smiled and said, "You dare not?"

Losing bullfighting is just a trivial matter, and you can't afford to lose points in front of rookies and newcomers.

Artest smiled and patted Xie Hou on the shoulder: "What else can we do between us? I know how many hairs you have, forget it?"

Next, Xie Hou doesn't have to speak.

"Ron is scared!"

"Arthur is so provocative, you're going to fight!"

"What's the skill of bullying rookies? I have the ability to beat Arthur. We will follow your advice from today!" This sentence comes from Brachi.

Later, Artest pulled shit in his sneakers in order to teach the rookie a lesson.

"Ron, don't be cowardly!"

"If you are afraid, you are not a man, and Arthur is not invincible. Fight him!"

The whole audience started to cheer. Artest was also a talented person. He looked like a bandit and admitted his cowardly. He patted Xie Hou's shoulder and said, "Arthur was the regular season mVp in last season. I haven't played for a year. I can't beat him. I admit it! I just can't beat Arthur, I admit it!"

"But!" The most awesome thing in the world is "But" that can bring all the twists.

Artest continued: "Except Arthur, you all have one of them that can beat me up. You can beat me up today, Ron Artest, I am! I'm the field! Eat this ball!"

O'Neal Jr. really can't stand it anymore.
