super point guard

Chapter 29 I want to win
The second half of the game has begun.

Before the start of the second half, Indiana Pacers head coach Larry Brown made some adjustments to the starting lineup for the second half of the game, promising to replace Darren Collison as the Indiana Pacers' starting point guard in the second half of the game .This surprised Xu Nuo, Xu Nuo thought that he would sit on the bench for a while before getting a chance to play, as he did in the first half of the game.

In fact, Xu Nuo is now the Indiana Pacers player with the longest playing time in this game, even surpassing Danny Granger and David West.With Darren Collison and backup point guard AJ Price not performing well, the point guard position on the court has been largely filled by Promise.Before the start of the second half, Indiana Pacers coach Larry Brown told Xu Xu: "Although you will be the team's starting point guard in the second half, I think the Orlando Magic will definitely respond to you. Adjustment, so you have to be careful, you may not play very long in the second half."

"I see." Xu Nuo nodded.

When the second half started, Xu Nuo suddenly discovered that the Orlando Magic's point guard had changed. It was neither their starting point guard Jameer Nelson, nor the backup point guard who played the longest in the first half. Ball guard Chris Duhon, but the "General" Gilbert Arenas who was promised to humiliate a lot!
"It's really strange," Xu Nuo thought in his heart, "how could they send Arenas as the starting point guard in the second half? It stands to reason that the best player in the first half should be Chris Duhon. Could it be that Ali Has Nurse recovered from that shot?" Xu Nuo thought to himself, looked at Gilbert Arenas, and found that the sluggish expression on his face disappeared, and turned into a serious one.

"I really don't know what kind of tricks that old guy Stan Van Gundy did during the halftime break." Xu Nuo thought.

At this time the whistle blew for the start of the second half.

The first offense in the second half was the Indiana Pacers. Xu Nuo dribbled to the frontcourt and handed the ball to David West inside.With his back to Orlando Magic power forward Brandon Bass, David West took a few dribbles before passing the ball to Promise again, who immediately passed it to the perimeter Well placed Danny Granger.It turned out that David West's dribble singles were just a cover, and Danny Granger took advantage of the Orlando Magic's defensive attention focused on David West to take advantage of Roy Hibbert. The double screen with Brandon Rush got rid of his defender and went beyond the three-point line. At this time, the promised pass immediately came to Danny Granger.But Danny Granger's outside three-pointer failed to hit the basket this time, and Magic center Dwight Howard easily picked up the backcourt rebound.

Originally, the Magic wanted to launch a fast break immediately after Dwight Howard took off the backcourt rebound, but the Indiana Pacers returned to defense very quickly, and in a blink of an eye they were already in position and ready to fight. The Orlando Magic had to turn around For positional warfare.Gilbert Arenas faced promise, holding the ball from beyond the arc.

"You played really well in the first half," Gilbert Arenas told Promise.

Xu Nuo didn't expect Gilbert Arenas to talk to him, so he couldn't help being taken aback for a moment, then reacted and said, "Thank you."

Gilbert Arenas snorted, just now he didn't take advantage of Xu Xu's stunned moment to give Xu Xu away, it seems that now Gilbert Arenas wants to duel with Xu Xu in an open and honest manner. "You knocked me down in the first half, I still remember it," Gilbert Arenas continued.

"Don't worry about it." Xu Nuo said sarcastically.

Gilbert Arenas ignored the sarcasm in the promise, and simply said: "So I'll pay you back with interest for the second half."

Xu Nuo smiled, "I will accompany you to the end." He said.

But soon, Xu Nuo couldn't laugh anymore.

Because Gilbert Arenas no longer broke through Xu Nuo from the front one-on-one, but turned his back to Xu Nuo and started back-to-back singles, which made Xu Nuo suffer some hardships.

It seems that Gilbert Arenas has seen the advantages of Xu Nuo, knowing that with Xu Nuo's reaction speed and action frequency, it seems difficult to break Xu Xu one-on-one, because that would give Xu Nuo an opportunity to steal.But the shortcoming of Xu Nuo is that his body is not strong enough now, and Gilbert Arenas is far better than Xu Nuo in this regard, and post-up singles are just a style of play that can reflect physical advantages, so the current Xu Nuo suffered some losses in defending Gilbert Arenas.Gilbert Arenas leaned against the promise, used his own strength to carry the promise, and then made a step-back jumper, and the ball "swiped" into the net.

"This is the first ball." Gilbert Arenas said, pointing a finger at Promise.

Xu Nuo's heart burst into flames.

Of course, the fire returned to the fire, and the promise did not go directly to Gilbert Arenas like Chris Duhon did, in which case he would be directly expelled.Therefore, Xu Nuo just glanced at Gilbert Arenas coldly, and said coldly: "We'll see!"

Having suffered a loss on defense, Xu Nuo really wanted to recover his loss on offense, but Xu Nuo soon found that it was difficult for him to break through Gilbert Arenas' defense.Gilbert Arenas also made full use of his physical advantages on defense. His close defense made it difficult for Xu Nuo to play his speed advantage, because he found that no matter how he broke through Gilbert Arenas, Stand firmly between yourself and the basket.Xu Nuo had no choice but to pass the ball out.

Without the point guard's go-between, the Indiana Pacers began to stagnate offensively. Roy Hibbert's basket attack was forced to the floor by Dwight Howard. This is already Dwight Howard His fourth blocked shot in the game.The Orlando Magic immediately launched a fast break, but Gilbert Arenas missed a follow-up [-]-pointer and David West grabbed the backcourt rebound.At this time, Xu Nuo suddenly discovered that Roy Hibbert, who had been rewarded with a big cap by Dwight Howard, hadn't returned yet, so the ball in his hand was passed out immediately.There was no one in front of Roy Hibbert who received a long pass, and then Roy Hibbert hung on the basket.

"It's a tie." Xu Nuo said to Gilbert Arenas with a smile.

Gilbert Arenas smiled. "Don't worry," he said, "the show isn't over yet."

Xu Nuo couldn't help curling his lips. It seemed that he really had to deal with this Gilbert Arenas well. It seemed that Arenas was really going to show his true abilities.

"This kind of competition is exciting." Xu Nuo said to himself.

However, due to promises to repeatedly suffer losses in defending Gilbert Arenas, the Indiana Pacers' perimeter defense also opened a breakthrough, forcing the Indiana Pacers to expand their defense, so that Dwight Howard on the inside With Brandon Bass you got your chance.After the two dunks respectively, the Orlando Magic have chased the score to a 48:48 tie!

"Coach Brown, do you think it's time to replace the promise?" Coach Larry Brown's chief assistant coach, Coach Brian Shaw, said to Coach Larry Brown.

Coach Larry Brown frowned.

"Look again," he said.

Coach Larry Brown was talking, and the Orlando Magic on the court got another chance to make a quick counterattack. Gilbert Arenas received a pass from Hedo Turkoglu from beyond the three-point line, promising to immediately Pounced out.But Gilbert Arenas was not in a hurry to shoot, but paused, and when Xu Nuo jumped up and was about to fall, he suddenly leaned against Xu Nuo's body, and at the same time threw the ball in his hand.When the referee's whistle blew, Gilbert Arenas managed to steal three free throws from Xu.

"It seems that I still won." Gilbert Arenas said to Xu Nuo with a smile.

"It's abominable!" Xu Nuo couldn't help clenching his fists, "I'm so pissed off!"

Coach Larry Brown, who was standing on the sidelines, saw all this and said to assistant coach Brian Shaw: "I don't think that kid will admit defeat."

With Gilbert Arenas making all three free throws, the Orlando Magic took the lead and made it 48-51, with the Indiana Pacers trailing by three.

"I'll definitely give you that ball back!" Promise said as he faced Gilbert Arenas.

"I'd like to see how you're going to give me that ball back," Gilbert Arenas said.

Xu Nuo let out a cold snort, and suddenly flicked his wrist, but the ball didn't pass out, but slipped through Gilbert Arenas' crotch, taking advantage of the moment Gilbert Arenas hadn't reacted. In an instant, Xu Nuo had slipped past Gilbert Arenas and received the ball from Arenas' crotch.Immediately, at least two players from the Orlando Magic appeared in front of Xu Nuo.Xu Nuo flicked his wrist again, and this time the ball was passed out to Danny Granger on the outside line. At this moment, there was an open field in front of Danny Granger, and Danny Granger didn't even think about it. Wanting to shoot a three-pointer directly, the ball went hollow into the net.

At 51:51, the two teams returned to the same starting line again.

"Boy, your skills are good." Gilbert Arenas said to Xu Nuo coldly. For Arenas, the ball just now was another humiliation.

After hearing what Gilbert Arenas said, Xu Nuo stopped and stared straight at Gilbert Arenas.

"I will definitely defeat you!" Xu Nuo said, speaking firmly, "I want to win, this is my goal, this is my goal standing on this field. I don't care who the opponent in front of me is, I just want victory!"

"Very good!" Gilbert Arenas said loudly, "Then let's wait and see!" After speaking, Gilbert Arenas strode away.
