"Louis XI's departure allowed European basketball to breathe." - The Times.

In mid-June, Xie Hou and his teammate Theodoros Papalucas and have officially graduated from college, her cousin, who had a Takako (now as his full-time assistant) boarded the plane to Indiana.

Not only did Xie Hou leave by himself, he also abducted the CSKA core defender Papalucas.

The Greek was not interested in the NBA at first, and all American foreign players from the NBA admitted that he had the strength to play in the NBA, but no team would give him the same tactical status as CSKA.

Papalucas believed that he could realize his life value only in Europe, until Kirirenko succeeded in the Pacers, coupled with Xie Hou's instigation, he finally agreed.

Papalucas is a 202-centimeter point guard, his defense is as hard as a rock, with a calm and leadership beyond ordinary people.

It is precisely because of his existence that Xie Hou has the opportunity to show his talent beyond an excellent ball handler.

"What if they don't sign me?" Papalucas asked.

Xie Hou said to him in Greek: "Even Andre can enter the rotation, what are you worried about?"

Takiko Sae-sai smiled and said, "Oni-chan, you will be sad if Andre-chan says that."

"What are you afraid of? He can't hear it anyway." Xie Hou suddenly paused and looked at his cousin with a strange name with a smile, "You little boy, you won't tell me, are you?"

Takako smiled and said, "I definitely won't."

Papalucas was still a little worried that the Greek was completely two people on the court and off the court.

On the court, as long as the ball is in his hands, the team's operation must be based on his wishes, and even Xie Hou has to run the tactics obediently.

He has an N-elite defense, and his 202 cm tall and strong physique give him an advantage in any average figure.

Xie Hou wanted to take him to Indiana with him and thinks it was a waste of his stay in Europe. He could clearly reach a higher level, so why should he bury himself like Dejan Bodilloga (unfortunately, Bodilloga met Xie Hou at his peak and had very few honors)?

Xie Hou was constantly complaining about the damn business class bad seats that could not stretch their feet.

There is no way, who said he is 204 cm tall? And it also has a slender lower limbs. This kind of civilian machine is not at all thoughtful to design seats for a strange man like him. Therefore, just like a person living in Hong Kong, he lives only with a bed. If he grows too big, he must even bend his feet when he sleeps before he can lie down well.

European Emperor Star (nicknamed by Americans), who has the talent of heaven and earth, now doesn’t even have a comfortable seat?

"Qizi, according to the normal process, what will I do after I go to the United States?" Xie Hou spoke with a chatting mood.

Guizi said: "You will count the several media outlets on the scene to determine how much Indiana and even Americans value you, and then try your best to praise yourself..."

"Hahaha~~~" Papalucas, who was originally sleepy, burst into laughter after hearing this.

"Blood is dissolved in water, Guizi, how can you say that about your Onissang?" Xie Hou said sadly, "Is it that in your eyes that I am such a narcissistic and stinky person?"

Takako looked "Wouldn't you be sad if I nodded and called it?" and then forced herself to say something against her will: "Of course not. Oniss is an imperial star from Europe. King Arthur, nicknamed Almighty Spider, will be the enemy of LeBron James in the future!"

"LeBron?"

"James?"

Otherwise, why do you say they are teammates? Xie Hou and Papalucas read it out one after another, and looked at each other and both got similar information from each other's face.

Where did this come from the smelly shit, and dare to be my lifelong enemy?

Where did this come from the unlucky guy? He became your lifelong enemy?

(No need to say more about who is his voice?)

Xie Hou asked at the risk of being rolled, "Guizi, don't laugh at me, but I really want to know who this Lebang is?"

"It's not LeBron, it's LeBron."

"Qizi, stop speaking English. I just heard it as Lebang, but now it sounds like Lei Balong. What is my lifelong enemy called?"

Takako said in embarrassment: "If I didn't speak English, Theo wouldn't understand what we were talking about."

Papalucas praised his sister's courtesy: "Do you really come from the same family? Why is there such a big gap in cultivation?"

"Guizi, what does it matter if this Malaga can understand? It's not his lifelong enemy!" Xie Hou challenged. (Note: Greek, meaning Bangmao)

Takako didn't let the debate between English, Japanese and Greek last too long. She said concisely: "Lebang (taken by Xie Hou) is the most popular newcomer after Tim Duncan. He is only 18 years old this year and has announced his participation in the draft before he has played in the NCAA game. Moreover, he is basically the No. 1 pick this year."

"Only 18 years old?"

"uh-huh."

"I'm so young and promising."

The Americans are so bullying! Xie Hou fell into inexplicable silence. He is 23 years old and is known as King Arthur. He won the Champions League three times in five years. European opponents gave him a nickname of Louis XI, and then arranged an 18-year-old kid to be his lifelong enemy?

"Lei Balong James, I remember this name." Xie Hou nian.

Papalucas said: "I always feel that you remembered your name wrong."

"What's the big deal? The name is a code name."

Since they couldn't sleep (strictly speaking, Xie Hou couldn't sleep), Xie Hou continued to tell Takako about her itinerary after arriving in Indiana.

Takako skipped James's part.

She first talked about the Pacers' arrangements. First, they would hold a press conference to welcome Xie Hou's joining, and then negotiate a rookie contract with his agent. There is no suspense, but it is a set process.

This is the key after that. Since Xie Hou has been stocking overseas for four years, Americans do not know what level his current strength has reached.

In terms of honor, he was the first person in Europe since the turn of the century.

Moreover, his performance in Europe has been very dominant in recent years.

You know, it was fought on the European battlefield where the pace was slow, the tactics were cumbersome, and the teamism was emphasized.

Many American experts believe that he already has the ability to fight at the All-Star level, and similarly, there are many doubters.

Because although Kirilianko performed well after landing in the United States, he had a slight decline in Europe, and there were many places he needed to adapt to.

In the past few years, what has become most obvious about Xie Hou's physical development is his physique.

When he ran for the election in 1999, he already had the body of an adult, and at that time, his weight was 94 kg.

Over the past five years, he has slowly gained weight and has now stabilized at 102 kilograms. As an all-round swinger who can play in four positions, his weight is enough to allow him to adapt to higher-level leagues.

But some experts still believe that the reference value of the European battlefield is not very valuable, so the United States has been discussing whether Xie Hou will participate in the summer league.

All fans hoped that he would participate, but the Pacers' attitude was very ambiguous.

Basketball Director Larry Bird said to the public: "Arthur may appear in Las Vegas, but it depends on his personal wishes."

Look at this kneeling and licking posture, a rookie who has not achieved success has actually taken care of him to this point?

This is the origin of Xie Hou's famous nickname - the European Emperor Star.

This nickname was not a compliment at first, but a joke and sarcasm.

"Will you play in the summer league?" Papalucas asked.

Papalucas has announced that he will represent the Pacers in the summer league. As a player brought by Shehou, for whatever reason, the team will sign him as long as he performs.

The Summer League is a stage for showing oneself, with young people inside.

But as a 23-year-old young man, Xie Hou has proved his European imperial star on the European battlefield, why should he accompany a group of college students to show?

"No, I'm not interested." Xie Hou's answer was not surprising at all.

This is also the reason why Bird gave that kind of answer. Although he and Xie Hou had not had a formal conversation, he had already fully understood this person through many ways.

He knew that this was a bastard who was arrogant and narcissistic enough to cause discomfort from others, and was above the top and had outstanding strength.
