Chapter 185

After returning to the hotel, Xu Hao finally saw his parents who had come all the way from China. You must know that even their passports were arranged urgently by Xue Yubing's father to find a relationship.Naturally, the family of three has endless things to say. Xia Jing doesn't know much about the NBA. She mainly focuses on Xu Hao's figure. Seeing her son's bulging muscles, she nodded with satisfaction.

In contrast, Xu Ansheng was much more excited. He has always supported Xu Hao's goal of entering the NBA, but he did not expect his son to make his goal a reality so soon.As an old fan, Xu Ansheng knows very well what it means to be invited by the league to enter the small green room. Although the draft has not yet started, he knows that he will produce an NBA star.

After dinner, Xu Ansheng and his wife went back to their room to catch up on sleep. They still felt tired after the long-distance flight, not to mention jet lag.Xue Yubing has already recovered, and she plans to accompany Xu Hao to prepare the formal attire to be worn in the draft tomorrow night. In her opinion, his boyfriend's handsome attire is in line with his title of the No. [-] guard in the NCAA this season.

In fact, the idea that Xu Hao mentioned in the car was not entirely a joke. He really wanted to embroider a national flag on the inside of his formal coat, so that after being selected, he could fully show his character as a Chinese player on stage. identity.

But when he came to the largest clothing store in Chinatown, the old tailor who spoke fluent Mandarin ruthlessly dispelled Xu Hao's thoughts: "Young man, I know that you must embroider the national flag on the inside of your coat on a very grand occasion." Show up, but I have to tell you, this is very difficult, it will take at least three days with my craft, if you are not in a hurry, you can wait."

Three days was obviously too long, Xu Hao asked depressedly: "Is there no one else who can get this done before tomorrow night?"

The old tailor smiled and said gently: "I am the best tailor in Chinatown. If I can't do it, then neither can anyone else. Maybe those world-class colleagues can meet your requirements, but I don't I suggest you spend a fortune on it."

After bidding farewell to the old tailor, Xu Hao seemed a little unhappy, but soon Xue Yubing thought of a good way for him: "Since there is no way to embroider the national flag on the inside of the coat, why don't we buy a small flag pin and pin it directly on the coat Woolen cloth?"

Xu Hao suddenly realized that he was still too obsessed with pretending. Just like Xue Yubing said, wearing a national flag pin can also have the same effect.If he is selected in the high pick, are you afraid that those shots will not give the pin a close-up?

After clearing up his knots, Xu Hao happily bought an exquisitely crafted national flag pin in a souvenir shop, and wandered back to the hotel with Xue Yubing. The warmth and sweet talk all night naturally needless to say.

On the second day, Xu Hao took his parents and girlfriend to visit the metropolis of New York for a while, and after dinner, they went to the Madison Square Garden Theater, the host venue of the draft.After handing over his family members to the staff to arrange the location, Xu Hao followed Michael to the media interview area, which is also the rightful treatment for every player who is eligible to enter the small green room.

Seeing Xu Hao approaching, a large group of Chinese reporters rushed forward. It is really rare to have another Chinese face in the draft, and Xu Hao's path is different from that of several other Chinese players.Although he won a CUBA championship for Peking University, being invited into the small green room is entirely due to his outstanding performance in the NCAA this season.

The reporter from Huaxia TV was the first to ask: "Xu Hao, may I ask if you have made a rough prediction on your draft position?"

Xu Hao said with a smile: "Of course I expected... well, there is no such thing as guessing. I just know that I should be selected in the lottery. As for the specific pick, who knows? Those who are interested in me The team could also be cut off by someone else."

"Then which team do you most want to join?" This time the questioner was a female reporter from Guangdong Provincial TV Station.

"Haha, sorry for the inconvenient disclosure, but joining any team is a kind of luck for me. I will try my best to show my value in the team, quickly integrate into the tactical system, and then do what the coach requires. what I do."

After several other reporters asked a few more questions, Xu Hao said goodbye to his compatriots politely. He still had a lot of things to do, and being interviewed was just one of them. Besides, there were still many American media reporters waiting. Scoop something new out of his mouth.

After finally getting rid of the reporters' siege, Xu Hao returned to the table that belonged to him in embarrassment, picked up the cup as if no one else was there, took a drink, and sat down panting, causing other people in the small green room to look sideways at him.

Xu Hao completely ignored their gazes, but complained unceremoniously: "Those reporters are too annoying. They keep repeating so many questions. Can't they be a little bit new? Even if they are not annoying, the fans must listen too much It will be annoying too."

Xue Yubing held his hand with a smile, and said angrily, "Don't get cheap and act good. How many people want to be interviewed by reporters on such an occasion? You have already done what they couldn't do, so what's the matter?" What's the trouble?"

Xu Hao smirked a few times, and before he could speak, a voice came from beside him: "Xu, is this your girlfriend?"

There was no need to turn around, Xu Hao knew it was Harden just by hearing the voice, and he said to Xue Yubing angrily: "Let me introduce to you, my roommate and teammate, James Harden, is also second only to me this season. No. [-] guard in the NCAA."

"Hey! I'm not a second guard!" Harden yelled pretending to be angry, but immediately gave Xu Hao a big hug, and then he extended his hand to Xue Yubing and said friendlyly: "Nice to meet you, Beautiful oriental goddess."

Xue Yubing also reached out to shake hands with Harden, nodded and said, "Me too, James, thanks to you for taking care of Xu Hao when he was in school, he mentioned you more than once when he was chatting with me, saying that you were his partner. best teammate of all…”

Harden laughed, showing a mouthful of white teeth: "I can't take his compliments, but then again, Xu is also the best teammate I have ever played with, not even one of them. Without him, it would be difficult for us to be in this A national championship this season."

As he spoke, he patted Xu Hao on the shoulder again, and asked in a low voice, "Did any team give you a guarantee in private during this time?"

Xu Hao shook his head, and said calmly, "So what? I believe I will be selected in the lottery."
