Polis is the capital of Indiana and the largest city in the state.

It is also the fourth-largest state capital in the United States, after Atlanta in Georgia, Denver in Colorado and Phoenix in Arizona.

Xu Xuan's first impression of Polis was that it was big!

Big, big!

He got off the plane and got into a taxi to the hotel where he was staying.

Polis is a transportation fortress and a distribution center for agricultural and livestock fur products for immigrants from the United States to the west.

For example, Xu Xuan's hotel in the city center is a little further away but also in the city, which is Amtrak's Union Station, which is also one of the oldest Union stations in the United States.

The city centre is also bustling, with the 110-metre-high Soldier and Sailor Monument towering over the central business district.

The 37-story JP**** Bank Tower is the tallest building in the city, along with other important buildings such as the State Capitol, the Telephone Building, and the Indiana State Convention Hall and Exhibition Center.

Along the way, Xu Xuan instructed the taxi to go shopping, after all, he didn't have time to report so late today.

The driver was a talkative black man...... Don't ask why it's always black!

Along the way, Xu Xuan and Lin Yun popularized a lot of local customs and customs in Polis.

There was no Carson because Carson had already gone to the hotel with his luggage......

After shopping around and tasting the local specialties under the "guidance" of the driver, Xu Xuan returned to the hotel with Lin Yun.

......

The next morning, Xu Xuan still got up early and ran for exercise, he couldn't run yesterday because of the delay, and Xu Xuan didn't plan to continue to be lazy today.

At 7 o'clock, after having breakfast with Lin Yun, I chatted with Carson about the new team, analyzed the pros and cons of joining the new team, and set off for the Banker's Life Arena in Mel Square at half past eight.

The distance from the Le Méridien Indianapolis to the stadium is about 2 kilometers.

Pacers president Larry Bird, general manager Kevin Pritchard, and head coach Frank Vogel are already waiting.

In fact, if it was an ordinary member to join, "Big Bird" Bird didn't have to come in person, but this time, in order to obviously attach importance to Xu Xuan, Big Bird also came to the stadium in advance.

Coach Vogel's face was not very good, with heavy dark circles under his eyes and a very pale face.

I don't know if it's because of Xu Xuan's joining, or because of the recent wave of 8 consecutive defeats suffered by the Pacers!

Yes!

Just yesterday, the day Xu Xuan first came, the Pacers were slaughtered by the Portland Trail Blazers by 15 points at home!

It was also their eighth losing streak from the end of November until today.

The Pacers are now suffering from internal and external troubles, and the reason why "Big Bird" Bird is speeding up the progress of the transaction is to hope that the addition of Xu Xuan, a new blood, can bring good luck to the Pacers......

Yesterday's fiasco caused the place to look empty today, and as soon as Xu Xuan and Carson walked in, they saw the trio led by "Big Bird" Bird.

"Hey, Carson, Xu, you're finally here."

Big Bird was very enthusiastic, and his enthusiasm made Xu Xuan a little surprised.

However, considering that his deal was the reason why he made it happen, Xu Xuan was relieved, after all, in the eyes of others, Xu Xuan was the "descendant" brought by the "Big Bird" himself, and in this case, it was not strange for the "Big Bird" to give Xu Xuan a platform.

"Welcome to the Pacers, your joining will definitely make this team stronger." Pritchard also greeted Xu Xuan with a kind face.

When it was Bishop Frank Vogel's turn, it was Xu Xuan who took the initiative to shake hands with him and say hello.

"Hey, Mr. Frank, you're not in good spirits because I'm late?"

Xu Xuan made a small joke.

Vogel smiled bitterly: "Can I tell you that I am happy because you are here?" ”

Xu Xuan laughed: "Of course you can, that's my honor......"

Big Bird Bird couldn't hide the smile in his eyes when he saw this scene in front of him.

Xu Xuan is much more "sensible" than he expected, this is a good start!

After a few pleasantries, Big Bird left first, and general manager Pritchard and head coach Frank Vogel took Xu Xuan to familiarize himself with the arena.

The Banker's Living Arena is an old arena that has been in use since 1999.

The arena was originally called Consecco Arena and was named after the Pacers' father, Consecco Insurance Company, which was later renamed CNO Financial Group in 11 years. Therefore, the name of the Pacers Arena had to be changed this year, and Banker Life is the main product line of CNO Financial Group, so the new name "Banker Life" was born.

However, Xu Xuan took a look, the facilities in the arena were not too old, and the silver-white decoration looked a little luxurious.

I had already seen the appearance when I came, and Xu Xuan felt that if I had to compare it, it was a bit like a domestic vegetable greenhouse.

"This is the dressing room... This is the meeting room... It's the lounge..."

Kevin Pritchard introduced the various facilities in the stadium to Xu Xuan, and after looking at it for a while, he said with a smile: "Xu, you just treat this place as your own home, and there will be time to get familiar with it in the future, we will hold a press conference at noon to announce your joining, and the next step is the physical examination ......."

"Frank?"

Pritchard turned his head to look at Mr. Head Coach, Vogel nodded, and said:

"Yes, Xu, at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, there will be a regular training, and if it's okay then, I'll take you to meet your teammates in the future......"

"Absolutely." Xu Xuan agreed.

Next, I went to the team doctor's room for a physical examination, and the report came out soon, Xu Xuan's physical condition was too good!

Immediately afterwards, Xu Xuan was taken to the locker room to change into training clothes, and after warming up, he had to start his body.

Height: 191

Weight: 81 kg.

Arm span: 205cm.

Palm length of the left hand: 22.9cm, length of the palm of the right hand 23.1cm.

...

Standing touch height: 257cm, bouncing on the spot: 79cm.

Running bounce: 95cm.

...

Compared with when he first entered the NBA, Xu Xuan's various statistics have increased, especially his height, which has jumped directly from 188 to 191, which is a very big increase.

Vogel watched from the side and marveled, this physical fitness is strong, no wonder he can stand out from the rookies of the class of 2014.

And Xu Xuan's height also made him have a lot of reverie, if the height of 191 ...... grows a few centimeters, even if he plays the second position, he will not suffer a loss!

Even now, 191 is not impossible to play the second position.

Looking at Xu Xuan, who was full of hormones in front of him, Coach Frank suddenly had a bold idea in his heart......
