super point guard

Chapter 30 Showtime
"Gilbert Arenas' shooting percentage will drop greatly when facing the opponent's close defense, even less than 40.00%, so you must always keep yourself in front of Gilbert Arenas Between Adams and the basket, try your best to use close defense to limit his offense." On the sidelines of the court, Indiana Pacers coach Larry Brown said to Xu Nuo.

"However, the trick Arenas uses is back-up singles, not a breakthrough from the front. It is difficult for me to use close defense to limit him." Xu Nuo said puzzled.

"Then force him to change to a frontal breakthrough again!" Coach Larry Brown said simply.

Xu Nuo could only nod his head.

At this time, Gilbert Arenas made two free throws on the field, and the Orlando Magic once again overtook the Indiana Pacers 55:53. Since the start of the second half, Gilbert Arenas has scored 7 points in a row. point.

"How can Arenas return from back-to-back singles to frontal breakthrough?" Xu Nuo thought hard.

At this time, Xu Nuo suddenly remembered what Coach Larry Brown had said to him before: "Don't forget where your strengths lie!"

"I understand!" Xu Nuo said to himself.

The Indiana Pacers went on the offensive, promised to dribble upfield, and handed the ball to Danny Granger from beyond the three-point line.David West stepped up to set a pick-and-roll screen for Danny Granger, and Danny Granger took the opportunity to break away from Hedo Turkoglu's defense and slip to the baseline. Orlando Magic center Dwight Howard hastily moved laterally, blocking the line of Danny Granger's continued drive to the basket.But almost at the same time, the ball in Danny Granger's hand flew out from the inside, and Xu Nuo, who was standing outside the three-point line, received the ball and a shot fake made Gilbert Arenas fly into the sky, Xu Nuo took the opportunity to attack the Magic team's penalty area. The Magic's shooting guard JJ-Redick immediately filled the position and blocked Xu Nuo's breakthrough line, but the ball in Xu Nuo's hand was passed out again. At this time, Redick suddenly realized his Instead, the replacement missed Brandon Rush.Brandon Rush received the ball and faced the rushing Orlando Magic power forward Brandon Bass to shoot a three-pointer directly. The ball crossed a high arc and "swiped" into the net!

"No. 13 promises another assist, my God! This is already his eighth assist in this game!" The commentator at the scene said loudly.

Brandon Rush ran over and gave Xu Nuo a high-five. Xu Nuo smiled faintly and began to face Gilbert Arenas' attack again.

"Nice pass, boy," Gilbert Arenas said.

"Thank you for your compliment." Xu Nuo said, but without the slightest neglect, he still focused on Gilbert Arenas.Gilbert Arenas smiled, turning his back on the promise again.

Xu Nuo knew that if he rushed to steal Gilbert Arenas at this time, he would probably lose his defensive position, and then Gilbert Arenas would break through him more easily, so Xu Nuo did not act rashly.At this time, the Orlando Magic obviously focused the ball on Gilbert Arenas, because Gilbert Arenas did not pass the ball.Gilbert Arenas squeezed Xu Nuo away with his body, turned around and was about to shoot, when Gilbert Arenas turned around and shot, the moment of 45 seconds was once again "stagnated" in Xu Nuo's eyes After landing, Xu Nuo responded immediately and knocked the ball out of Gilbert Arenas' hands with a "bang".Xu Nuo picked up the ball and immediately launched a fast break, and took the lead to kill the Magic team basket. At this time, Hedo Turkoglu had already caught up. With a flick of Xu Nuo's wrist, the ball came to Danny who was outside the three-point line at a 59-degree angle. · In the hands of Granger, Danny Granger did not miss at his best shooting point, and scored another steady three-pointer.At this time, the score on the field has become 55:1, and the Indiana Pacers once again widened the point difference to four points in just one minute.

"It's Promise No. 13 again!" The on-site commentator said loudly, "It seems that his performance time has come!"

Encouraged by the on-site commentator and the two mascots of the Indiana Pacers, Boomer cat and Buser dog, the previously crazy auditorium became even more crazy, perhaps because the fans did not expect to promise this little The second round rookie will play so well in the game.

At this time, the Orlando Magic did not panic at all when facing a backward situation, and they still played in an orderly manner according to their own rhythm.Gilbert Arenas dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, twitched his mouth slightly, and said to Xu Nuo: "The ball just now was just a small mistake, you didn't beat me."

Xu Nuo curled his lips, "Then try to break through again." He said.

Gilbert Arenas really didn't dare to commit to post-up singles anymore, because he knew that he might be intercepted by the rookie player in front of him at any time, whose strength was much higher than his draft pick .As a result, Gilbert Arenas changed the post-up singles to a breakthrough from the front, which hit the arms of Coach Larry Brown and Xu Nuo, who promised to use close defense to greatly reduce Gilbert Arenas' shooting percentage.After three consecutive missed shots, Gilbert Arenas had no choice but to promise a mid-range jumper under the defense of Gilbert Arenas, and finally put his score in the game raised to double digits.

Looking at the score of 57:63 on the court, Orlando Magic coach Stan Van Gundy couldn't hold his breath, got up and called a timeout.

"Man, if you have another assist, you can get a double-double." During the timeout, Deng Tai Jones said excitedly to Xu Nuo.

"Oh?" Xu Nuo frowned and asked, "Is that so?"

"Your current data is 11 points, 9 assists and 4 steals, quite comprehensive data!" Deng Tai Jones said, "If you assist one more time, you will get 11 points and 10 assists!"

"I really didn't pay attention to this," Xu Nuo said, "Don't worry, I will get another assist."

At this time, coach Larry Brown came to Xu Nuo.

"Can your physical strength support the next game?" Larry Brown asked.

It seems that Coach Larry Brown intends to take himself off the court to take a good rest, but now he doesn't want to rest at all, and he is fighting with Gilbert Arenas.So Xu Nuo nodded and said, "I can do it!"

Coach Larry Brown glanced at the promise and said, "Don't force yourself, the season has just begun, and there are plenty of games to come."

"I know, Coach," Promise said, "but I really don't want to rest right now."

"No!" Coach Larry Brown said seriously, "You must know that it is only the preseason and the regular season has not yet started. You must learn how to maintain your physical strength, otherwise it will be the regular season or even the playoffs." , you simply can’t bear it!”

"Okay, I got it." Xu Nuo said, he knew that as a rookie player, it was impossible for him to disobey the head coach's words in the slightest.

When the timeout was over, Xu Nuo turned his head and smiled at Dengtai Jones and said, "It seems that my tenth assist will come later."

But Xu Nuo didn't sit on the bench for too long, before the sweat on his face was completely wiped off, Coach Larry Brown called Xu Nuo's name again.After that timeout, the Orlando Magic also made substitution adjustments at the point guard position, and AJ Price, who came off the bench, was no match for Jameer Nelson at all.Seeing that the team was about to fall into a passive situation, coach Larry Brown had no choice but to send promises on the court again, but he never called the name of the team's starting point guard Darren Collison.

"It's been a long time!" Xu Nuo first greeted Jamil Nelson after playing.

But from Jameer Nelson's point of view, promising to greet him was no different from humiliating him.

Jamil Nelson glared at Xu Nuo and said, "You are very tired now, I want to see what tricks you can do."

Xu Nuo smiled slightly after hearing this, "That's good," he said, "Then you just wait and see the performance."

It was the turn of the Indiana Pacers to attack, and Xu Nuo faced Jameer Nelson with the ball. At this time, Xu Nuo suddenly found that the defender he was facing was not only Jameer Nelson alone, but also Jason Richard Mori.

"Good guy, come to double-team." Xu Nuo secretly said in his heart.

At this time, power forward David West came up to cover the promise, so Jason Richardson had to allocate part of his energy to deal with David West's pick-and-roll.But David West just feinted and left Xu Nuo's position again, but he had achieved his goal-taking Jason Richardson away from Xu Nuo's side, and at this time the defense promised again It became Jameer Nelson alone.At this time, Xu Nuo made a right hand to protect the ball, making Jamil Nelson look like he wanted to break through from the left.Jameer Nelson fell for it, leaning towards the left side of Promise's body, the side he thought Promise would break through.At this moment, Xu Nuo suddenly changed direction and broke through to the right instead.At this time, Jameer Nelson has lost his best defensive position due to previous mistakes, and with the speed promised, it is difficult for Jameer Nelson to catch up with the promise.Xu Nuo lowered his center of gravity and reached the Magic's penalty area. At this time, the Magic's big men had already surrounded him heavily.Facing the opponent's double-teaming, Xu Nuo didn't panic, but jumped up and passed the ball in his hand. David West, who had been covering for Xu Nuo before, received the ball and scored a layup with ease.

"How about my performance?" Xu Nuo asked Jamil Nelson with a smile.

Jameer Nelson had a depressed face and did not answer the promised question.

Amid Dengtai Jones' shouts of "double-double", Xu Nuo ran back to his own half with a smile, ready to defend.
