super point guard

Chapter 46 China Competition BJ Station ([-])
Indiana Pacers head coach Larry Brown replaces the team's starting point guard Darren Collison at the start of the second quarter of the NBA China Game between the Indiana Pacers and the Los Angeles Clippers, Coming off the bench was the team's backup point guard, George Hill.

"At the beginning of the second quarter, the Indiana Pacers replaced their starting point guard Darren Collison with their backup point guard George Hill, and it seemed that our commitment was really impossible in this game. It's playing inside." Yu Jia, who was doing the commentary at the Wukesong Basketball Arena, said this, causing the fans in the stands in the arena to sigh.

"But there is no promise to play, we still have to play, let's just watch." Said Su Qun, the commentary partner sitting next to Yu Jia, "After all, there are still stars in these two teams on the court, we can watch Blake Griffin, you can watch Eric Gordon, you can also watch Danny Granger, and David West, why can’t you see so many stars. Although it’s a pity that you can’t play if you promise , but we can't always stare at Xu Nuo to see if someone is wrong."

"I totally agree with this sentence!" Xu Xu, who was at the end of the Indiana Pacers' bench sitting on the sidelines, said to himself, "Finally said a word that makes people feel relaxed."

"But to be honest, Xu Nuo's inability to play tonight still has a big impact on the Indiana Pacers." Su Qun continued, "Because of Xu Nuo's injury, only Darren Collison is left on the Indiana Pacers." And George Hill two point guards, and George Hill's style of play is more of a shooting guard, so the pressure on Darren Collison's shoulders is a lot heavier."

Xu Nuo sighed after listening and shook his head.

"After all, this is just an ordinary preseason game. If the main point guard is allowed to play for too long, it may affect the preparations for the regular season." Yu Jia said.

"That's right." Su Qun said, "Actually, the Indiana Pacers still had a point guard, that player named AJ Price, but this player was traded to the Toronto Raptors just before the start of the China game. team in exchange for Toronto Raptors shooting guard DeMar DeRozan. That leaves the Indiana Pacers with just three point guards, with only Darren Collison and George Hill has two point guards."

"Although the team has only two real point guards who can play, Coach Larry Brown still won't send promises to play." Yu Jia said.

"After all, the coach is to protect the players," Su Qun said. "No matter what, the health of the players is important. I personally think that the reason why the Indiana Pacers made the deal I mentioned above is mainly due to Two reasons. One is that after trading DeMar DeRozan, the team's offensive firepower on the outside can be strengthened. After all, DeMar DeRozan can fly well and has two brushes on offense; Well, I personally think that the Indiana Pacers promised to make room for the team. Before AJ Price left, there were four point guards in the team. The competition for the position of point guard was very fierce. After AJ Price, the team only has three point guards, and the competition has eased a lot, which is a good thing for the promise."

"And George Hill's style of play is more biased towards shooting guards, so the team actually only has Darren Collison and the promise of two genuine point guards." Yu Jia said.

"Yes," Su Qun said, "So I promise that I can at least play as the first substitute in the team, and the playing time can be guaranteed."

"Okay, let's turn our attention back to the game." Yu Jia said, "Now the two teams on the field are playing on the bench, and the 'home team' Los Angeles Clippers is the point guard. Rick Bledsoe, shooting guard Randy Foye, small forward Al-Farouq-Aminu, power forward Brian Cook and center Chris Kaman, while the 'visitor' Indiana Pacers On the team's side are point guard George Hill, shooting guard Duntai Jones, small forward Paul George, power forward Tyler Hansbrough, and guest center Josh McRoberts. George Hill just now Received a pass from Josh McRoberts inside, made a three-pointer from the outside, and the Indiana Pacers temporarily led the Los Angeles Clippers by five points, 25 to [-]."

"As I said just now, George Hill's playing style has always been in favor of a shooting guard, although it is indeed a bit reluctant to play a shooting guard in the NBA with his height." Su Qun said, "When I was in the San Antonio Spurs , George Hill has already shown the potential of Parker's successor, filling the vacancy in the backcourt of the Spurs well during the period when Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili were injured and absent. In George Hill's first rookie season, he replaced Manu Ginobili, who was absent due to injury, to participate in the playoffs that year. Although the San Antonio Spurs were eliminated by the Dallas Mavericks that year, George Hill's performance It's still remarkable. Unlike DeMar DeRozan, George Hill is also a good perimeter defender. I think this is a very important point for the Indiana Pacers to introduce George Hill this summer. s reason."

"Perhaps the Indiana Pacers are George Hill's hometown team and one of the reasons why George Hill chose to join the Indiana Pacers." Yu Jia said.

"There must be a reason for this," Su Qun said. "I heard that George Hill's home in Indianapolis is very close to Xu Nuo's home. I wonder if Xu Nuo will become like George Hill because of this." A player like Hill." Su Qun laughed.

Xu Nuo looked at George Hill on the field and shook his head. "I will definitely not become that kind of player," Xu Nuo said to himself, "My goal is to become a super point guard!"

During the period when Yu Jia and Su Qun were chatting, the situation on the court changed suddenly. Eric Bledsoe, the backup point guard of the Los Angeles Clippers, assisted Randy Foye and Brian Cook respectively. A long three-pointer from the outside line chased the score to a 31:31 tie!Indiana Pacers head coach Larry Brown had to get up and call a timeout after the Indiana Pacers missed and the Los Angeles Clippers scored on a quick counterattack.

"This should have been called a timeout a long time ago. After those two three-pointers were made, it should be called a timeout. There is no need to wait until this goal is scored." Su Qun said, "Now it is the Indiana Pacers. There is a problem with the perimeter defense. I can't score in the offense and I can't defend the opponent's offense. It is very normal for the score to fall behind. I don't know what kind of tactics Coach Larry Brown will arrange during the timeout."

On the courtside Indiana Pacers bench, Xu stood next to Danny Granger and Darren Collison and listened to the team's head coach Larry Brown.Although Xu Nuo knew that he would definitely not play in this game, it was good to hear more about the team's tactics.During the timeout, coach Larry Brown replaced small forward Paul George with Brandon Rush, promising to guess that coach Larry Brown did this to strengthen the team's offensive firepower.

"Okay, the timeout is up, and the players of the two teams have returned to the court again." Yu Jia said, "The Indiana Pacers replaced small forward Paul George with Brandon Rush, and the Los Angeles Clippers this time. The side is still the same team.”

"The Indiana Pacers replaced Brandon Rush in order to strengthen the team's offensive firepower on the perimeter. After all, the Indiana Pacers are a team that relies on the perimeter to attack." Su Qun said, " In the past, the Indiana Pacers still had Mike Dunleavy at the small forward position, but now Mike Dunleavy has left the team. This is a big loss for the Indiana Pacers. After all, Mike Dunleavy has rich Game experience, and some offensive ability. However, the Indiana Pacers should rely on their rotation to make up for that loss."

As Xu Nuo and Su Qun expected, coach Larry Brown replaced Brandon Rush to strengthen the team's outside offensive firepower.However, due to the lack of a good passing organization, the Indiana Pacers on the court are like a mess, and there is no definite attack point at all. Everyone gets the ball and goes directly to the basket. As a result, With half the effort, the result of this is that the Indiana Pacers' offense completely stagnated, while the Los Angeles Clippers took the opportunity to expand the point difference.Before the second quarter was over, the Indiana Pacers trailed the Los Angeles Clippers by seven points 33:40.

"If the Indiana Pacers continue to play like this, then tonight's game will be directly explained," Su Qun said. "The problem lies in the offense. The key now is that no one from the Indiana Pacers stepped forward to score. Danny Grant Jay, David West, no matter who it is, it's time to play, even if it's just one of them, the problems in the team now should be solved."

Before Su Qun could finish his words, before the words landed, the head coach of the Indiana Pacers, Larry Brown, began to prepare for substitutions, but apart from Danny Granger and David West, the players The team's starting center Roy Hibbert is also ready to play.

"The Indiana Pacers made substitution adjustments, and three starters, Danny Granger, David West and Roy Hibbert, returned to the field at the same time." The commentator Yu Jia said, "Look Come on, just as Teacher Su Qun said, the current Indiana Pacers really want to strengthen the team's offense!"
