super point guard

Chapter 68
Relying on Russell Westbrook's outstanding performance in the last few minutes of the first quarter, the Oklahoma City Thunder, sitting at the Ford Center Arena, once again opened up the point difference on the field, winning 27:21 The score ended the first quarter of the game.When the whistle sounded at the end of the first quarter and Xu Nuo walked towards the Indiana Pacers' bench, Xu Nuo thought that he would definitely be replaced by his head coach, Larry Brown, because Westbrook was exactly Under his own defense, he played better, and his team fell behind the opponent by so many points.

However, when the second quarter began, coach Larry Brown still put the promise on the court.

"It's not your fault that you didn't guard Russell Westbrook," coach Larry Brown told Promise before the start of the second quarter. Russell Westbrook's, even if I put Darren Collison on, so I'm going to put you on in the second quarter."

So, when the bell rang at the start of the second quarter, Xu Nuo stepped onto the court again, but he found that his opponent had changed from Russell Westbrook to Nate Robinson.

"Hey, rookie!" Nate Robinson said to Promise, "I know Charles Barkley said you won't score [-] points in any game this season, so you can't play against me tonight." Get the upper hand in the fight!"

Xu Nuo knew that Nate Robinson, like Charles Barkley, was also a well-known "big mouth", so Xu Nuo just smiled lightly and didn't say anything to Nate Robinson, but prepared to attack with the ball.

"Now the second quarter of the game has begun!" The on-site commentator in the Ford Center Arena shouted, "Let's take a look at our five boys on the court first! The point guard position is the height There is only No. 1.7 Nate Robinson who is 3 meters five, the shooting guard is No. 13 'bearded' James Harden, the small forward is No. 2 Sappor Safolosha, and the power forward is No. 4 Nick Curry Sen, center is young player No. 45 Cole Aldridge. Now, our boys have launched defense!"

The fans at the scene immediately shouted like a tsunami. Whenever the commentator on the scene called out the name of a Thunder player, there would be bursts of cheers on the scene.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Indiana Pacers attacked. After promising to get the ball, they began to advance quickly.The promise to do this is certainly related to the team's tactical style and the arrangement of Coach Larry Brown, but the promise to do this is more to let yourself have more opportunities to perform as soon as possible, because the promise only contributed to the first quarter of the game. Two assists without a point, and coach Larry Brown still let Xu stay on the court, so Xu Nuo wanted to perform well in return for Coach Larry Brown.

But despite this, Xu Nuo still won't attack after getting the ball, even though the opponent in front of him has been replaced by the shorter Nate Robinson.Xu promised to hand the ball to James Posey with a ground pass. Originally, coach Larry Brown hoped that James Posey could use his game experience to help the team.James Posey holds the ball and turns to face Thunder small forward Thabo Safolosha, but Safolosha is a player who is good at defense, and James Posey has no offense against Safolosha opportunities, and James Posey himself is not a player known for his offense.James Posey passed the ball back to Nuo, and Xu immediately passed the ball to Brandon Rush outside the three-point line, but Brandon Rush's shot missed, and the Indiana Pacers had to Go defensive.

"Now we are in a very difficult stage. You have to work hard to defend. Only defense will allow us to narrow the point difference!" Xu Nuo heard Coach Larry Brown shouting loudly while standing on the sidelines.

In fact, it is very easy for Xu Nuo to defend now, because his opponent has been replaced by Nate Robinson. Compared with Nate Robinson, Xu Nuo has an absolute advantage in terms of body and speed. Nate Robinson is much easier to guard than Russell Westbrook.What's more, now the Thunder's main attack point has become shooting guard James Harden, not point guard Nate Robinson.

"Hey, rookie, can you guard me?" Nate Robinson said to Xu Nuo with a smirk on his face, but Xu Nuo still didn't answer him, just firmly occupying his defensive position, not letting Nate · Robinson has an easy chance to break through.Originally, Nate Robinson wanted to break through the promise by himself. After seeing that he had no such opportunity at all, he had to hand the ball to James Harden. James Harden used a shot fake to shake Brandon in front of him Rush, then James Harden dribbles, pulls up, and shoots.But at the moment James Harden shot, Tyler Hansbrough, who had already jumped in front of James Harden, fouled Harden, and James Harden's shot failed to hit the basket.

Just as James Harden walked to the free throw line, Xu Nuo heard Coach Larry Brown calling his name on the sidelines of the court, and Xu Nuo hurried to Coach Larry Brown.

"Compared with Nate Robinson, you have a complete advantage in terms of speed and body, why don't you make good use of your advantages?" Coach Larry Brown asked and promised.

"Uh..." Xu Nuo frowned, but didn't know what to say.

"Now our team needs to narrow the point difference as soon as possible, so we must ensure our offensive firepower, so you have to take the initiative to attack." Coach Larry Brown said to Xu Nuo.

"I see, coach." Xu Nuo nodded.

"You know, in our current lineup on the court, you are also an important scoring point on the team," coach Larry Brown continued, "Don't forget that Charles Barkley guy also said that you are the best player in this season. You won't get [-] points in the game!"

Xu Nuo looked at Coach Larry Brown with a little surprise. He didn't expect that Coach Larry Brown would let him attack because of Sir Charles Barkley's words.But Xu Nuo still nodded, since coach Larry Brown had signaled for him to let go of the offense, then Xu Nuo had nothing to worry about.

At this time, James Harden made two free throws on the court, 29:21, and the Thunder once again opened up the point difference.At this time, coach Larry Brown began to make substitutions. Josh McRoberts replaced Tyler Hansbrough who had already received three fouls, including the one due to himself and Serge Iba. A technical foul due to a card conflict.

"Xuan, what did Coach Larry Brown tell you just now?" Brandon Rush asked Xunuo when Xunuo started to attack with the ball.

"Coach Larry Brown said let's attack quickly!" Xu Nuo said simply.

Facing opponents like Nate Robinson, Xu Nuo feels a lot easier to play, both on the defensive end and on the offensive end.Xu Nuo knew that Nate Robinson had excellent jumping ability and blocked Yao Ming's shots back then, so Xu Nuo, like James Harden, first used shooting fakes from outside the three-point line to shake off Nate Robinson's defense, and then Dribble the ball one more step inside the three-point line before jumping up and shooting.Although Nate Robinson's jumping ability is amazing, he promises to believe that his jumping will not be worse than Nate Robinson. No matter how high Nate Robinson jumps, it is impossible to interfere with his shooting.With Xu Nuo's mid-range jumper, the Indiana Pacers finally scored the first point of the second quarter, which was Xu Nuo's first score in the game.

"Good boy, I didn't realize that this guy really has two skills." Xu Nuo heard Nate Robinson talking to himself like this, Xu Nuo didn't speak, and ran straight to his team's half.

"Xuannuo, you have to work hard, you still have [-] points!" When returning to the defense, Xunuo heard Danny Granger, who was sitting on the team's bench beside the court, shouting at himself. road.

Xu Nuo smiled slightly, but didn't say anything.

However, the players of the Indiana Pacers would not have thought of it, nor would Pacers head coach Larry Brown on the sidelines, nor would the crazy fans in the stands have thought that starting from the Thunder's attack , the situation of the entire game began to change, from a stalemate between the two sides to a completely one-sided situation.

"Hey, rookie, I will definitely return that ball to you just now, and I will definitely kick your ass!" During the dribble attack, Nate Robinson said to Xu Nuo.

"Anything." Xu Nuo said lightly.

Promise's "disrespectful" attitude seemed to make Nate Robinson very angry, so Nate Robinson just dribbled the ball a few steps before jumping up and shooting directly at Promise.But when Nate Robinson jumped up with the ball in his hand, Xu Nuo also jumped in the air and successfully blocked the space for Nate Robinson to shoot. Nate Robinson had to choose to pass the ball.At this time, Xu Nuo believes that there will be no one in the position where Nate Robinson passed the ball. Perhaps his teammates have already cut off Nate Robinson's pass.

However, what the Indiana Pacers players on the court did not expect was that James Harden actually appeared in the position passed by Nate Robinson, and Brandon Rush couldn't understand James Harden even more. When exactly did he get rid of his own defense.After James Harden received the ball, facing the rushing Brandon Rush, he actually raised his hand from the outside and made a long three-pointer! 32:23, the Pacers have fallen behind more and more.

This three-pointer hit the players of the Indiana Pacers very hard. At first, they all believed that the Thunder's offense was impossible to score, because Nate Robinson had no choice but to pass the ball under the pressure of the promise. The ball was shot, and none of them thought that they would make mistakes in the defense of the opponent's three-pointer.Xu Nuo looked at James Harden and shook his head helplessly. He couldn't believe that James Harden would suddenly appear at the place where the ball fell, and he couldn't believe that James Harden would suddenly appear at the place where the ball fell. Under the condition of reaching his face, he was able to make a long three-pointer from the outside.

And the thunder-like momentum of the Thunder team was completely improved with this miraculous outside three-pointer. Xu Nuo once again broke through Nate Robinson and entered the Thunder paint area, but Xu Nuo immediately found his breakthrough route. Has been completely blocked by the Thunder's two inside players Nick Collison and Cole Aldridge, Xu Nuo had no choice but to pass the ball.But Brandon Rush was directly pinned to the ground by Safolosha during the shot, and the Thunder immediately launched a quick counterattack after getting the ball.Amidst the cheers and cheers from the fans, James Harden received a pass from Nate Robinson for an easy layup.

"Now we are behind them by double digits, I think we should call a timeout and rearrange it, which can also contain the Thunder's offensive momentum." Coach Brian Shaw, the chief assistant coach of the Indiana Pacers said To Head Coach Larry Brown.

Coach Larry Brown frowned and nodded without saying a word.

But soon, the fans in the stands at the Ford Center gave out deafening cheers again.Despite the promised assist, Josh McRoberts scored a layup at the basket to return the color to the Thunder, but then the Thunder played the Pacers for a connecting period. Taking advantage of the Indiana Pacers' defense. Robinson made an outside three-pointer on the right side of the court!After hitting a three-pointer, Nate Robinson even showed off his dance moves on the court and celebrated wantonly, which made the fans in the stands crazy to the extreme.

"I told you, you won't have the upper hand against me!" Nate Robinson yelled at the promise.

Xu Nuo looked at Nate Robinson and frowned tightly.He still didn't respond to Nate Robinson's words, he just wanted to be a little confused, why all his opponents tonight exploded under his defense?

Before the promise had time to think about it, Coach Larry Brown had already stood up and called a timeout.So, with only 4 minutes into the second quarter, the Indiana Pacers were 25:37 behind their opponent, the Oklahoma City Thunder, by [-] points!
