super point guard

Chapter 76 Rondo the Gibbon

Rajon Rondo is really anxious.

No matter if it is anyone else, when faced with the situation that Rajon Rondo is facing at this time, he will definitely lose his temper.

When the opponent in front of you is only a rookie player, and it is only a rookie player with the No.12 pick in the second round, but this rookie player is in front of you in less than 5 minutes You scored seven points in a row, plus three assists and one steal, but your own data was "only" five points and one assist. Wouldn't you be crazy?
Of course it will.

So Rajon Rondo really went crazy.

Because that's what the promise was made in front of him.

Just now, a promised dribble stop at the basket directly shook Rajon Rondo out of the baseline.And just when Xu Nuo raised his hand to score a layup, Rajon Rondo, whose body had almost flown out of the baseline, fouled.

When Joe Crawford, the referee of the game, blew the whistle in his mouth, Rajon Rondo, who had already flown out of the baseline, yelled outside the court, ignoring the Photojournalists who are carrying cameras to shoot.

At first, Rajon Rondo thought that the referee Joe Crawford would not see his actions at all, so he chose to foul, but Rondo did not expect that Joe Crawford really blew the law enforcement whistle in his mouth .Of course, Rajon Rondo knew in his heart that his Boston Celtics had already fouled four times in a single quarter in this quarter, and his own foul directly sent Xu Nuo to the free throw line, which is equivalent to Then give Xu Xu two points for nothing.But Xu Nuo looked at Rajon Rondo who was frowning and shouting near the baseline of the court, and felt that Rondo was like an angry gibbon at this time.

However, Boston Celtics coach Doug Rivers, who was walking back and forth in front of the coaching bench to supervise the game, seemed to have no intention of replacing Rajon Rondo. The only really useful point guard in the current Boston Celtics team is Rajon Rondo.And when Xu made his way to the free throw line, Rajon Rondo stood next to referee Joe Crawford.

"Hey, Joe," Rajon Rondo said to Joe Crawford with a smile on his face, "That kid is just a rookie, shouldn't he call me a foul just now?"

"What did you say?" bald referee Joe Crawford asked, looking at Rajon Rondo.

"I mean, you didn't have to blow the foul just now." Rajon Rondo continued to say with a smile.

"Are you questioning the unfairness of my judgment?" Joe Crawford asked loudly.

"I didn't mean that." Rajon Rondo said hurriedly, "I just said..."

"The foul just now was a very obvious foul!" Joe Crawford said loudly, "Of course it's a foul and it's a foul!"

Rajon Rondo stopped talking immediately, he knew that if he continued to argue, he would not be able to argue for a result, and he was very likely to be called a technical foul.

At this time, Xu Nuo made two consecutive free throws, and the Indiana Pacers once again led the Boston Celtics by three points at 19:16.Rajon Rondo tapped referee Joe Crawford on the shoulder, went to the baseline to get the ball, and began to organize the team's offense.

Nine points, three assists, plus one steal, even Xu Xu couldn't believe that these were his statistics in this game.You know it's only the first quarter of the game!Before the end of the first quarter, he had already scored nine points, three assists and one steal. This is the first time since he promised to enter the NBA!If you continue at this rate, then promise to score 36 points and 12 assists in this game!Xu Nuo never dared to imagine such data. Xu Nuo thought that if Charles Barkley saw his performance in this game, he would definitely regret saying that he had played in this season's game. There has never been such a thing as twenty points.

But Xu Nuo didn't have time to think about it at this time, because his opponent Rajon Rondo had already approached him.

At this time, Rajon Rondo looked much calmer than before, and his face returned to the expression of neither rush nor rush.But for some reason, Xu Nuo still looked at Rajon Rondo like a gibbon.

At this time, Rajon Rondo spoke.

"Hey, rookie!" Rondo said.

"Huh?" Xu Nuo responded from his own nose, Xu Nuo knew that Rajon Rondo's words were of course aimed at himself, because Rajon Rondo looked at him with both eyes when he was talking, and, Among the players in the audience, only myself is a rookie player.However, although Xu Nuo responded to Rajon Rondo, his whole body is still on full alert, lest Rajon Rondo break through when his defense is relaxed.

"You played very well in the last few minutes." Rajon Rondo said, his voice sounded flat, so that others could not hear whether he was praising the promise or taking the opportunity to ridicule promise.

"Thank you." Xu Nuo said, his tone was calmer than that of Rajon Rondo, and even colder than a glass of cold boiled water.

"But that's the end of your show," Rajon Rondo said.

"Oh?" Xu Nuo raised his eyebrows, but his feet still firmly occupied his defensive position.

Rajon Rondo didn't speak any more, but snorted coldly, and began to dribble and break through.Xu Nuo had just caught up with Rajon Rondo's breakthrough, and he didn't even touch Rajon Rondo, when he heard Joe Crawford, the referee of the game, blow his mouth again. whistle.

"What's going on?" Xu Nuo immediately turned his head to look at referee Joe Crawford.

Joe Crawford gestured decisively that Xu Nuo had fouled while defending.

"How could it be that I fouled?" Xu Nuo was about to yell.

But Joe Crawford still gestured for Xu Nuo to foul, Xu Nuo stood there helplessly, shrugged, spread his hands, shook his head with a wry smile.There were bursts of dissatisfied boos from the stands, and some fans stood up and shouted loudly, as if venting their dissatisfaction at Joe Crawford.

Of course, Rajon Rondo knew why Joe Crawford called Xu Xu a foul when Xu Xu almost didn't touch him at all. He handed the ball in his hand to the assistant referee on the sideline while secretly smile.

Just as Xu Nuo was about to bend down to defend Rajon Rondo again, the buzzer in the arena rang. Xu Nuo looked to the sidelines and saw George Hill running onto the court, pointing at himself.Xu Nuo knew that he had been substituted, so he lowered his head and walked towards the team's bench beside the court.

"Don't keep your head down like this, you didn't do anything wrong." When Xu Nuo walked to the side of the court, Xu Nuo heard the voice of his head coach, Coach Larry Brown, ringing in his ears.

Xu Nuo raised his head and looked at his head coach. He was a little surprised to see that when Coach Larry Brown was looking at him, there was a smile on the corner of his mouth.

It seemed that Coach Larry Brown didn't mean to blame himself. Xu Nuo secretly heaved a sigh of relief, forced a smile, and came to the bench to sit next to Josh McRoberts.

"Hey, man, why are you so downcast?" Josh McRoberts said to Xu Nuo, "You're doing so well, why can't you be happy?"

"If my performance is good, why does Coach Larry Brown want to replace me?" Xu Nuo asked back.

"Because Coach Larry Brown wants to ensure the normal rotation of players," Josh McRoberts said, "You didn't do anything wrong."

"But I fouled just now," Xu Nuo said while watching David West being replaced by Taylor Hansbrough, "and it was an unnecessary foul." Xu Nuo said.

"That foul wasn't your fault," said Josh McRoberts. "If anyone was to blame, it would be the referee's fault."

"The referee?" Xu Nuo said in surprise.

"After Rajon Rondo fouled you just now, Rajon Rondo ran to the referee to complain. It is estimated that he told the referee that the ball was of the type that can be blown or not, so the next The referee will find another foul, but this time the foul falls on you. This is also very normal, we have already seen it." Josh McRoberts said.

"Oh... I see." Xu Nuo nodded.

"So you didn't do anything wrong at all." Josh McRoberts added.

"I see." Xu Nuo said, a smile finally appeared on his face.

While promising to talk to Josh McRoberts, Rajon Rondo drives to the Indiana Pacers basket for a layup.Xu Nuo watched Rajon Rondo keep waving those two long arms on the court, and felt more and more that Rajon Rondo looked like a gibbon.When Promise told Josh McRoberts that he felt Rajon Rondo looked like a gibbon, Josh McRoberts nearly fell off his chair laughing.

The Boston Celtics ended up trailing the Indiana Pacers by one point, 22-23, as Rajon Rondo assisted center Leonard Krstic to score at the rim late in the first quarter. The competition for the first quarter of the game.Xu Nuo stood up from the bench and greeted his teammates with a smile on his face.
