Chapter 59

Although Xu Nuo told his teammate James Posey before the fight with Tracy McGrady that he would not necessarily lose, but when Xu Nuo saw Tracy McGrady take a shot in front of him, Xu Nuo said Knowing that I'm still a long way from Tracy McGrady, even though Tracy McGrady is going downhill now.Although Tracy McGrady said "you won" to Xu Nuo, Xu Nuo just smiled faintly, and he didn't think that he had defeated Tracy McGrady.

After that, Xu Nuo didn't get many chances to face Tracy McGrady, because Xu Nuo was lost to the Indiana Pacers shortly after he hit his second outside three-pointer of the game. Coach Larry? Brown coach replaced.When Xu Nuo left the field, Xu Nuo scored six points, five assists and two steals in his not-so-long playing time.Xu Nuo's outstanding performance was also recognized by his teammates, and they all gave Xu Nuo a high-five when he left the field.

"Hey, buddy, what did Tracy say to you just now?" Veteran James Posey, who went off with Xu Nuo, asked Xu Nuo after they sat down on the bench.

"Tracey?" Xu Nuo said lightly, "He said I beat him."

"No way?" James Posey said in surprise.

Xu Nuo nodded, "That's what he said." Xu Nuo still said lightly.

"It's true that you hit an outside three-pointer in front of him, but in fact you should be evenly divided." James Posey said.

"Equal share?" Xu Nuo raised his eyebrows as he said, "Thank you for praising me. I have no chance of defeating him."

"But didn't you say you wouldn't necessarily lose?" James Posey said.

"Well, I did say that I would not necessarily lose, but I didn't say that I would definitely win." Xu Nuo said.

"Hey..." James Posey smiled and shook his head.

"To be honest, I really have no chance of beating Tracy McGrady, even though he is on the decline now." Promise said, "I don't know why Tracy said I won him."

James? Posey nodded slightly, "When you reach our age, you will understand." James? Posey said.

"It will take a long time," Xu Nuo said, "It's the same as not saying anything."

James Posey smiled and didn't talk to Xu Nuo anymore, Xu Nuo turned his gaze back to the arena.

Both teams are now on the pitch with the full lineup, except for Ben Gordon replacing Tracy McGrady.Xu Nuo guessed that the two teams wanted to play well in the remaining 4 minutes of the second quarter and lay a solid foundation for the second half of the game.Darren Collison immediately took a shot from outside the three-point line after receiving a pass from David West, but the ball hit the front of the rim and fell directly to Detroit Pistons small forward Taysha Ann Prince's hands.

"It's such a pity!" Xu Nuo heard Dengtai Jones who was sitting next to him say loudly.

After the Detroit Pistons got the rebound, they immediately turned to the offense. Rodney Stuckey quickly advanced the field. At this time, Ben Gordon was in position outside the three-point line on the left side of the court and was reaching for the ball. , Rodney Stuckey immediately passed the ball in his hand.At this time, the Indiana Pacers' defense had not yet fallen into place, so Ben Gordon immediately shot a long three-pointer from the outside after receiving the ball!
"Ben Gordon made the move so quickly!" Xu Nuo said with a little surprise.

"He seized the opportunity of our unstable defense and wanted to catch us off guard," said the veteran James Posey beside him, "Why did our players come back so slowly this time..."

Before James Posey could finish his words, Ben Gordon's outside three-pointer hit the basket with a "swipe", and the fans in the Palace of Auburn Hills Arena finally broke out again There was a tsunami-like shout, which startled Xu Nuo who was wiping sweat on the bench.

"It's Ben Gordon!" The on-site commentator in the Palace of Auburn Hills finally seized this good opportunity to shout loudly, "Ben Gordon made an outside three-pointer to overtake the score! Now on the court The score is 41:40, we are already one point ahead of our opponent!"

"It's only one point ahead. As for the yelling, we can catch up soon." Deng Tai Jones, who was sitting next to Xu Nuo, said to himself.

On the court, Ben Gordon, who hit the overtaken three-pointer, clenched his fists and ran on the court.

"Hurry up and attack! We want to recover the points we lost!" Coach Larry Brown of the Indiana Pacers stood on the sidelines and shouted loudly to his disciples on the court.

The Indiana Pacers picked up the tempo as Darren Collison dribbled upfield, power forward David West stepped up to catch the ball, and turned his back on Chris Ware near the edge of the lane on the right side of the court Cox holds the ball.At this moment, Danny Granger, who was originally near the three-point line in the strong side corner, and DeMar DeRozan, who was standing outside the three-point line at a 45-degree angle, made a crossover. ? Granger came to a 45-degree angle beyond the three-point line.David West was about to pass the ball to Danny Granger, Detroit Pistons small forward Tayshaun Prince suddenly changed his defense, Prince did not follow Danny Granger, Instead, he used a half-round defense to break off the ball in the hands of David West.

"Return to defense, quickly return to defense!" Coach Larry Brown standing on the sidelines shouted angrily. Xu Nuo was very surprised that an old man in his seventies like Coach Larry Brown could still shout so loudly.

"Hurry up and return to the defense, we must limit the opponent's score!" Coach Larry Brown was still shouting loudly.

Perhaps because of coach Larry Brown's constant urging on the sidelines, this time the Indiana Pacers players quickly settled on the defensive end, forcing the Detroit Pistons players to fall from a quick counterattack Into positional warfare.Rodney Stuckey controlled the tempo of the game and handed the ball to small forward Tayshaun Prince.Tayshaun Prince got the ball at the top of the arc, and the Detroit Pistons were running around Prince.

"They will pass the ball to Ben Gordon!" Xu Nuo, who was sitting on the bench beside the court, said loudly.

"What did you say?" Dengtai Jones turned his head and asked Xu Xudao in surprise.

"They will definitely pass the ball to Ben Gordon." Xu Nuo repeated what he had just said.

"Is it because Ben Gordon just made that three-pointer?" Deng Tai Jones said, "I think there is too much luck in that shot."

"But now Ben Gordon's hand feels good." Xu Nuo said.

Sure enough, as promised, Ben Gordon took advantage of center Chris Wilcox's blocking screen to find a chance to shoot after making a big circle on the court.When Ben Gordon appeared outside the three-point line on the left side of the court again, Tayshaun Prince quickly passed the ball in his hand to Ben Gordon.DeMar DeRozan dives to steal a pass from Tayshaun Prince, but misses.Ben Gordon didn't think much after receiving the ball, and immediately jumped up to shoot.

"Here's the ball again." Xu Nuo said as he watched Ben Gordon's shot.

Sure enough, in almost the same position as last time, Ben Gordon hit his second outside three-pointer in the second quarter in almost the same way.Accompanied by the "swipe" sound of the ball flying into the net, there was a burst of cheers from the fans.

"It's Ben Gordon again!" The commentator on the scene shouted again, "This is Ben Gordon's second consecutive three-pointer! 44:40, we have already led the opponent Indiana Pacers by four points Already!"

"Hey, buddy, how do you know that this goal will definitely be scored?" Dengtai Jones asked and promised.

"It can be seen from the arc of the ball after Ben Gordon's shot." Xu Nuo said lightly.

After Ben Gordon made the three-pointer from the perimeter, Indiana Pacers' head assistant coach Brian Shaw approached head coach Larry Brown again.

"Larry, I think we should call a timeout now," Coach Brian Shaw whispered.

But Coach Larry Brown didn't respond at all. He didn't agree to call a timeout, nor did he mean to object. He just looked at his disciples on the field with a serious face and a stern look.Coach Brian Shaw shook his head lightly and sat back in his seat.

Xu Nuo sitting on the bench saw all this, Xu Nuo thought to himself; probably coach Larry Brown did not call a timeout because he wanted to test the players' ability to solve problems by themselves.

At this time, the Indiana Pacers launched an offense on the court, and the fans in the stands began to shout "defense" in unison under the instigation of Huber, the mascot of the Detroit Pistons.But this time the Indiana Pacers' offense was successful, but then, Ben Gordon, who was feeling hot at this time, hit an outside three-pointer again, but this time he hit the three-pointer From the left side of the court to the right side of the court.After hitting his third three-pointer, Ben Gordon started roaring wildly on the court.

"The third three-pointer! The third three-pointer! The third three-pointer!" The commentator at the scene seemed to be going crazy with excitement, and his shout was accompanied by Ben Gordon's roar. "Now we're five points ahead! The first half is almost over, and we're five points ahead!"

This time, coach Larry Brown responded. It seems that Ben Gordon's crazy three-pointer performance gave Larry Brown a headache.With just over a minute left in the first half, the Indiana Pacers called their last long timeout of the quarter.
