super point guard

Chapter 21 The Game Begins

"Of course," James Posey, the veteran beside Xu Xu, said lightly when he heard Xu Nuo's words, "Danny is the banner leader of our team, and the fans will naturally welcome him. Do you still expect Let the fans boo him?"

Xu Nuo thought about it, and it was indeed the case.

"Indiana Pacers' starting power forward, No. 30 player David? West!" The host then shouted loudly.

Immediately, the entire Conseco Arena was filled with huge cheers from the fans. It seemed that the fans welcomed David West's arrival very much.Xu Nuo watched David West walk to the middle of the stadium, waved to the audience with a smile all over his face, and the cheers of the fans on the scene became even louder.

After the cheers of the fans subsided a little and David West stood beside Danny Granger, the announcer on the scene continued to report the names of the players on the field: "The starting center of the Indiana Pacers , No. 55 player Roy Hibbert!"

Roy Hibbert ran into the field with a smile and stood beside David West. It seemed that Roy Hibbert enjoyed the atmosphere, including the fans' welcome and cheers.

In the end, the host of the scene called out the name of Indiana Pacers head coach Larry Brown. Fans are very welcome Larry? Brown once again coached the Indiana Pacers.The old coach Larry Brown stood up from the coaching bench and waved to the fans at the scene. The players, including the players of the opponent Orlando Magic, also applauded Coach Larry Brown and promised The applause was the warmest and most exciting, after all, this was the first time he had experienced such a scene.

After the on-site host introduced the players and coaches of the home team Indiana Pacers, he began to introduce the visiting team Orlando Magic, and the starting lineup of the Magic team felt heart palpitations in the promise.

"The starting point guard of the Orlando Magic, No. 14 player Jameer Nelson!" The host shouted, and there was some applause at the scene, which was regarded as a welcome to Jameer Nelson.

To be honest, Xu Nuo doesn't know Jameer Nelson very well. After all, Nelson Jr. is not considered a top point guard in the NBA, and his reputation is not as good as Derek Rose, Rajon Rondo, Chris Paul, Germany. Ron Williams, Tony Parker, Steve Nash, and Jason Kidd are all well-known. In Xu Nuo's eyes, Jameer Nelson is just a qualified NBA point guard.Compared to Jameer Nelson, Xu Nuo paid more attention to Gilbert Arenas, another point guard of the Orlando Magic.

"The Orlando Magic's starting shooting guard, No. 23 player Jason Richardson!" The host then shouted, and the applause at the scene was much warmer and louder than the applause for Jameer Nelson. It seems that the fans and audience at the scene are more welcome to the former NBA dunk king.

As for Jason Richardson, promise doesn't need to pay much attention. After all, it is Brandon Rush at the shooting guard position who guards Jason Richardson in the game, and he is a point guard. Worried about facing Jason Richardson one-on-one in the game.For the NBA's former slam dunk king, Xu Nuo has more respect in his heart.

Heido Turkoglu, the starting small forward No. 15 of the Orlando Magic, followed him on the field. The fans' welcome to him was even worse than that of Jamil Nelson and Jason Richardson.However, the players of the Indiana Pacers all know that apart from Dwight Howard, the Orlando Magic needs special care most is this Hedo Turkoglu, because he is the leader of the Orlando Magic. The core of tactics, the organizer and initiator of offense.Xu Nuo glanced at Danny Granger, wondering how Danny would face Hedo Turkoglu.

After Brandon Bass, the starting power forward of the Orlando Magic, came on the field, Dwight Howard, the No. 30 center in the NBA, came on the field immediately. The fans at the scene just welcomed Dwight Howard with applause .However, Xu Nuo was very excited in his heart, finally able to compete with Dwight Howard. Even if he could not fight side by side with him, it would be very good to be able to compete with Dwight Howard.

After Dwight Howard played, he was introduced to fans immediately after Orlando Magic coach Stan Van Gundy, the brother of former Houston Rockets coach Jeff Van Gundy.It seems that the fans at the scene were not interested in Coach Van Gundy, and there were only a few applause. Stan Van Gundy just waved to the fans with a little embarrassment, and then sat on the coach's bench.

After players from both sides came to the court, the American national anthem "The Star-Spangled Banner Never Falls" began to be played.But at this time, what echoed in Xu Nuo's heart was the national anthem of his motherland, China, "March of the Volunteers".I am able to stand on this field, not only the result of my own efforts, but also the result of the efforts of all Chinese people. Standing here, and watching me behind me are more than one billion people in China. I must Play a good performance so that the Chinese fans behind you will not be disappointed in yourself, but will be proud of yourself!Thinking of this, Xu Nuo couldn't help clenching his fists, as if he had gained strength.

But a small program before the official start of the game made Xu Nuo feel a little flustered, because in this small program he was introduced to the fans in person.Faced with the cheers and applause of the fans, Xu Nuo looked very unnatural, and just kept waving to the fans at the scene.The Indiana Pacers players on the sidelines couldn't help laughing as they watched the promise in the middle of the court.

"The promise is not as good as when I just joined the NBA." Deng Tai Jones said with a smile to Roy Hibbert beside him.

"Indeed." Roy Hibbert also said with a smile.

Standing on the court at this time, Xu Nuo can only think of one thing in his heart, that is, the team's general manager, Mr. Larry Bird, is not by his side at this time. If Larry Bird is here at this time, Xu Nuo believes that I can better respond to the host's questions and the fans in the audience.

"When you stand on this field, what do you think in your heart?" the host asked Xu Xu.

Xu Nuo frowned and thought for a moment, then said:
"First of all, I would like to thank the people who brought me to this field, such as Mr. Larry Bird, and my agent Bill Duffy, they have done a lot for me to be able to stand on this field. Even though they are not in this arena at the moment, watching me stand on this field, but I am still very grateful to them.” Xu Nuo said, “This arena and this field contain endless potential. Basketball background, they have witnessed the joys and sorrows of many people, and they have also witnessed the glory days of Reggie Miller and other seniors. I am very honored to be able to stand on this ancient field. I am here Assure everyone, we will take over the guns of our predecessors well, and we will not let you down!"

As soon as the promised words fell, the fans at the scene once again burst into warm applause.

"A small second-round rookie, what qualifications does he have to represent all of our players to make such a guarantee to the fans?" Brandon Rush whispered to George Hill beside him, George? Hill just smiled and said nothing.

At this time, Xu Nuo smiled and handed the microphone to the host, and then walked back to the team's bench.

"That's right, buddy!" Danny Granger was the first to come forward and give Xu Nuo a high five. Roy Hibbert and Josh McRoberts also came over to congratulate Xu Nuo.Xu Nuo smiled and began to focus on the game.

"Will Gilbert Arenas of the Magic play in this game?" Xu Nuo asked AJ Price, another backup point guard in the team.

"I think it will play, I don't know," AJ Price replied. Arenas should be there."

"Oh..." Xu Nuo said, "I don't really like to face Arenas, it will be too painful."

"No matter how painful it is, you have to face it. No one can replace you." George Hill said, "But don't worry, Arenas' condition is not as good as before, and it won't be as painful as you imagined."

"Okay, I got it." Xu Nuo said, but he was wondering how the inside players headed by Roy Hibbert would defend Dwight Howard, the No. [-] center in the NBA, and his opponent tonight. Anyway, he is not the number one point guard in the NBA.

Xu Nuo thought so, picked up the ball and made a few shots.The time for the official start of the game was getting closer and closer, and the players all came to the team's bench to listen to the team's head coach Larry Brown to arrange tactics.Then everyone came to the court and began to prepare for the game.

Promise sits on the Indiana Pacers bench, watching the players stand at the center circle of the court preparing for the opening shot.On this field, the Orlando Magic's black away jersey stands out.

"Oh, it's magic again." Xu Nuo thought in his heart.

At this time, the whistle for the start of the game blew, and the referee on duty threw the ball into the air. Roy Hibbert and Dwight Howard jumped up to compete for the opening ball, and Dwight Howard flicked the ball To Jameel Nelson.

The game started.
