In the end, Promise and his Indiana Pacers failed to perform a miracle on the road. The final score was 92:106, and Promise lost to their rival Oklahoma City Thunder by 21 points at the Ford Center.Promise only scored seven points and five assists in the whole game, and while losing the game, he did not allow himself to score 35 points in this game, but the highest scorer in the Indiana Pacers Roy Hee Burt only scored 27 points.Compared with the players of the Indiana Pacers, the twin stars of the Thunder, Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook scored [-] points and [-] points respectively. Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook.

But in any case, the taste of losing a game is always uncomfortable.So when the whistle blew for the end of the game, the frustrated promise didn't even want to leave the arena.

"This is just an ordinary regular season, and it's normal to lose," James Posey said to Xu Nuo. "Let's go back to the locker room. I think Coach Larry Brown will have something to say to us." Said."

Xu Nuo reluctantly stood up and followed James Posey to the visiting team's locker room.

Sure enough, as James Posey expected, when they walked into the players' locker room, Coach Larry Brown was already waiting there.The players returned to the locker room one after another, but no one spoke, and everyone lowered their heads in silence, even Deng Tai Jones and Roy Hibbert, who like to gag the most on weekdays. .Therefore, when Xu Nuo walked into the locker room, he felt a lifeless atmosphere permeated in the locker room after the fiasco.

When the players arrived, Coach Larry Brown spoke.At this time, when Coach Larry Brown spoke, he had completely lost the impatience he had during the game. Xu Nuo wondered if it was because the game was over and the score could not be rewritten, so that Coach Larry Brown slowly calmed down. of.

"We played poorly tonight," said Coach Larry Brown in a low voice. "In some places we did poorly, especially on defense. I don't think we used some of the tactics we had before the game." Arrange and type out."

Promise sniffled and looked up to watch Coach Larry Brown write the word "defensive" in large letters on the clipboard behind him.At this time, Xu Nuo took a quick look around the locker room and found that all the players had blank expressions. Darren Collison, who was not far from Xu Nuo, was looking up at something on the roof.

"Our defense did not do well tonight, not just the return defense I emphasized before the game, but our overall defense in the game." Coach Larry Brown continued, "Brian (referring to Indiana Pacers head assistant coach Brian Shaw) told me that we had Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook scoring 35 and 27 points on us, and I think that alone Just two stats to show how poorly we defended tonight."

As Coach Larry Brown said, he looked at Danny Granger and Darren Collison, who was still looking up at the roof of the locker room.Xu Nuo noticed that coach Larry Brown glanced at him, and Xu Nuo immediately felt as if his face had been brushed by an iron brush.

But it seemed that Coach Larry Brown didn't mean to blame himself, and Xu Nuo couldn't help secretly heaving a sigh of relief. "But I think everyone did their best in the game, but some of our players were not in good shape in tonight's game. I think this is one of the reasons why we lost this game." Coach Larry Brown continued.

At this moment, Xu Nuo saw David West opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but Larry Brown immediately said, "Don't tell me that the reason you are not in good shape tonight is because we have moved in. That so-called haunted hotel!" Coach Larry Brown yelled, "Many teams lived in that hotel, but in the end they all won the game! That hotel can't be the reason for our loss , We can only find the reason from us when we lose!"

David West lowered his head and promised to know that David West was in a very bad state in this game. He only scored eleven points and four rebounds, but the promise was not clear about David West Could it be that the cause of his poor state was not having a good rest in that haunted hotel.

"Know that our opponent in the next game is the mighty Boston Celtics!" Coach Larry Brown suddenly roared in the locker room, promising to put his heart into his throat immediately, "You guys Guys have to give me a good sober and a good look at how you lost the game, if you don't want to lose even worse against Boston!"

Xu Nuo sat in his seat, not daring to vent his breath, only hearing Coach Larry Brown's voice echoing back and forth in the locker room.

At this time, the team's publicist walked into the locker room, "Coach Brown, it's time to go to the press conference." The team's publicist said to Coach Larry Brown.

"Okay, I see, I'll be right there." Coach Larry Brown said.

After the team PR went out, Coach Larry Brown looked at his players again.

"Of course some of our players are worthy of our praise," Coach Larry Brown said, his voice softened a lot. "For example, our center Roy Hibbert, Brian told me that Roy Yi scored a team-high 21 points, which is very good, at least it shows that our tactical strategy of hitting the ball inside is successful."

Xu Nuo nodded slightly, he knew that Roy Hibbert's performance tonight was really good.

"There is also the promise of our rookie player. Although he did not score [-] points in tonight's game, he has recorded five assists, which is already very good." Coach Larry Brown continued.

Xu Nuo was taken aback when he heard Coach Larry Brown mention his name. At first, Xu Nuo felt that Coach Larry Brown would criticize him, but he did not expect that Coach Larry Brown would praise him.

"Okay, let's stop here tonight, you guys make adjustments for me, don't forget that our opponent in the next game is the Boston Celtics!" Coach Larry Brown finished speaking and left the players' locker room to participate in the game. The press conference is up.

Coach Larry Brown had just stepped out of the locker room and promised that they would start getting ready to shower.When Xu Nuo came back from the shower, the locker room was already full of reporters.

"Hey, Xu Nuo!" Xu Nuo heard someone calling his name, Xu Nuo followed the sound and saw the reporter from "Basketball Pioneer" who had interviewed him smiling at him.At this moment, Xu Nuo couldn't laugh at all. He just nodded to the reporter and sat down in his seat.

"You scored seven points and five assists tonight. Such statistics are quite satisfactory for a rookie player. How do you evaluate your performance tonight?" The reporter began to ask questions.

"To be honest, tonight's performance was not very good. Compared with the previous game, the shooting percentage has dropped. Four of the seven points were scored in the final garbage time." Xu Nuo frowned and replied, "But Five assists is good, but you can play better overall."

"Your opponent tonight is the mighty Thunder team. We all know that this team reached the Western Conference finals last season, and you lost to your opponent by [-] points in tonight's game. For such a game What do you think of it?" The reporter continued to ask.

"This team reached the Western Conference finals last season, but our team only stopped in the first round of the playoffs last season, so we do have a great advantage in terms of strength compared with our opponents. The gap." Xu Nuo said, "We worked very hard in the game to win the game. We have tried our best. It is a pity that we did not win this game. It seems that the only way to win the Thunder team is to wait until the return. It's home."

"We all know Charles Barkley said before this game that you're not going to get [-] points in this season's game, and tonight you only got seven points, what do you think about that? ’ asked the reporter.

Xu Nuo let out a long breath, thinking that he finally asked this question. "Charles Barkley said that I will not get [-] points in this season's game, not just this game, so as long as I can get [-] points in a future game That's fine." Xu Nuo replied, "Even if I can't do it in the next game, there will be another game. I believe there will always be a game where I will get [-] points."

Since they had to catch a plane back to Indianapolis for their next game against the Boston Celtics, team PR didn't keep reporters in the locker room for too long.When Xu Nuo followed the team back to the Scovin Hilton Hotel where they stayed, Xu Nuo saw his agent Bill Duffy packing his luggage.

"To be honest, you performed pretty well tonight, keep working hard!" Bill Duffy said to Xu Nuo, "I'm sorry I have other things to leave, so I can't fly back to Indianapolis with you It's gone."

"It's okay." Xu Nuo said hastily.

At this moment, Danny Granger was calling Xu Nuo's name in the corridor, Xu Nuo hurriedly said goodbye to Bill Duffy, picked up his backpack and walked out of the room.Before leaving, Xu Nuo sincerely hoped that the next time the team would not stay in this Scoven Hilton hotel.
