Chapter 11 Team Registration (Part II)

After Osborne and Ivan had a hearty breakfast, Ivan took Osborne to buy two plane tickets, in fact, New York City is not too far from Detroit City, where Osborne is on the team, mainly because Ivan can have enough rest time for Osborne to adjust the jet lag and condition, meet the team's physical test and possible old player troubles. It seems that although Ivan is a first-time agent, he has considered the problem very maturely and comprehensively.

In less than an hour and a half, Osborne arrived at the world-famous Motor City, and as soon as Osborne got off the plane, he found a luxury hotel to stay in, and then called the president of the team, and Osborne said, "I've come to Detroit, when will I report to the team?" Jo Dumas replied: "You can do it at any time, but you have to watch out for the tabloid reporters and don't get blocked by the reporters." When Osborne heard the president's words, he knew that someone was going to block the door and leave him alone, so he said to Joe Dumas: "In this case, I will not hide from it, but go directly to report, so that I will not be afraid of anyone?" Jo Dumas said: "Since you don't care about the annoyance of those reporters, then I won't say much, good luck, I'll hang up first." Osborne's current goal was to create a buzz rather than avoid the news media, and he decided to report in his car, and then he asked his brother Ivan, "Where is my car, where is it, I'm going to use it today." When Ivan heard that Osborne was going to use the car, he said, "No problem, when you use it, I'll pick up the car for you." But for now, we still have to find a house to live in for a long time, preferably with a separate gym and swimming pool. ”

Osborne said: "You can solve the problem of finding a house, I have to report to the team now, I need to go in style." You drive me there. Ivan said: "No problem, but the car has not been bought yet, how about I rent you a car first." Osborne didn't care, saying that no matter what, just pull the wind. Then Ivan went out to find a car for Osborne, Osborne entered the system and began to adjust the state, Osborne began to practice dribbling breakthrough in the luxury training room in the system, as well as passing and team confrontation, the system is a great god to simulate the game atmosphere, Osborne plays in the team simulated by the system, his position in the system is the back position of the score, Osborne in the game is smooth, especially Osborne's back playing skills, there is still a certain hit rate, it seems that Osborne can also fall to the low position to play the position of big forward, it's just that Osborne's body is a little weak and can't carry the strength of those big forwards, and the Pistons already have Ben Wallace, who is known as Big Ben, and they don't need Osborne to play big forward. So Osborne still first became a two-way guard who can both score and pass, Osborne is also gradually familiar with the use of the skills of the King of Wonderful Passages, this King of Wonderful Passes is worthy of being an S-level skill, it is simply a bombardment, passing without leaving traces, do whatever you want, as long as there is a good center or big forward on the inside, it is still quite easy to brush assists, it just so happens that the center of the Pistons Big Ben or the roaring Tianzun Rashid Wallace are excellent interior players, but it may be difficult to brush rebounds in the future. But you can't be too greedy, otherwise you will be disliked.

While Osborne was training in the system space, Ivan asked a friend to find a rental car shop and rent their most expensive car. Then he drove back and told Osborne to go to the palace of Mount Auburn. It didn't take long to arrive at Auburn Hills Palace, home of the Pistons.

At this time, the palace of Auburn Hills was also very busy, busy welcoming the new season and new players, Osborne just got out of the car, a sharp-eyed tabloid reporter saw Osborne, and hurriedly blocked Osborne who was just about to enter the door, Osborne saw that this opportunity was not coming, the reporter said: "Hello, I am Sun reporter Justin Nabarro, can Mr. Jean accept my temporary visit, I only ask a few questions." "Osborne thought to himself, you're all blocked, can I not let you interview? And the Sun is the newspaper that likes to take things out of context and spoof the newspaper that can pick out the bones in the eggs without a lower limit, which is not easy to deal with. He replied, "Why not, you can ask questions, but you only have five minutes, and I have to report to the team later?" Nabarro was glad to hear Osborne's agreed-with answer and said, "Don't worry, I only have three questions, and I won't delay you too much." So I'm going to ask the first question now, which is your favorite star in the NBA. As soon as Osborne heard it, he knew that this question was the most likely to cause controversy and the most difficult to answer, but Osborne couldn't say anything about Flyer Jordan, basketball emperor Chamberlain or anything like that, Osborne replied: "There are no stars in this league who deserve my favor, and now I am also a professional athlete in the NBA league, and I am a competitor with them, so it is difficult for me to like them in such a competitive relationship." When Nabarro heard Osborne's answer, he was immediately excited, he didn't expect this kid to be so upright, a news that Osborne despised the NBA celebrity and no one in his eyes had been formed in Nabarro's heart, Nabarro couldn't help but be excited and asked: "Then the second question, what is your outlook for the team's record as a rookie who has just joined the league?" When Osborne heard this question, he immediately replied: "As an NBA basketball player, the goal is always to be the league championship and MVP, which is what I have always pursued since I entered the league, and there is no other pursuit." At this time, Nabarro's heart was even more excited, this guy was so arrogant that he didn't know how thick the sky was. Asked one last question, he said, "One last question, what do you have to say about the group photo incident of your rookie photos exposed by Kirksin Ridge." ”

Osborne knew that the Sun reporter's meat drama was finally coming, and he replied without hesitation: "That Kirksin Ridge is a stupid soft egg, and almost everything he says is a fart, but I did beat me up, because he dared to provoke me, and my dignity does not allow me to let go of everyone who provokes me, so I rewarded him with a fly swatter, as for the other things he said, they are all nonsense, they are all slander, I don't believe you can ask other rookies, but since he provoked me again, then I will also leave the words here, It's a man who does it in front of the gong and drum, don't do some tricks behind the yin, I remember the name Kirksinrich, if you have the courage to come to me, whether it is on the court or off the court, you are welcome at any time, but you must remember that I will abuse you once I see you in the future, I hope your performance on the court is not as cowardly as you are off the court. Okay, I'm done. ”

Nabarro was simply speechless about this Osborne, was he really confident or arrogant, he dared to say such a thing, whatever, anyway, the topic is already there, it seems that the headline of the sports page of the Sun is mine, so he said to Osborne: "Thank you for your answer, my question is finished, I hope you have a smooth physical test, sign the contract early, may God bless you." ”

Osborne saw that this guy was so excited, and seemed to be ready to hack himself, so Osborne said: "Mr. Nabarro, you must report my answer today, but don't take it out of context, otherwise, you will bear the consequences." After saying that, Osborne turned around and walked away, leaving Nabarro himself to wonder what was truthful reporting and what was taken out of context, and his mind was confused all of a sudden. And Osborne's original intention was to let a widely circulated tabloid like The Sun promote his words for him, create topics, and hype himself. Nabarro was sold by Osborne, unaware of it, and still immersed in the excitement of getting the sensational news, Osborne also went straight to the team assembly place, ready to take a physical test.
