Chapter 82
As for myself being replaced by the head coach Larry Brown when he was only two points away from scoring his No.20 points in this game, the promise is of course nothing to say, after all, it has come to the end of the battle The main force has entered the stage of the final decisive battle, and it is normal for him to be replaced.Moreover, I am just a rookie player, even if I don't want to be replaced, what can I say?

So Xu Nuo sat on the team's bench, preparing to spend the last 4 minutes of the game on the bench.

At this time, the Indiana Pacers at home led their opponent Boston Celtics by 86 points 78:[-].However, just when the Indiana Pacers were about to pursue the victory, an unexpected thing happened.

Darren Collison dribbles past Rajon Rondo, drives inside the Boston Celtics lane, and forces a layup against Kevin Garnett.The ball hit the rim and missed, and Darren Collison nearly lost his balance when he landed.At this time, the Boston Celtics' basket triggered a hand-to-hand battle for this crucial rebound. Pacers center Roy Hibbert was directly caught in the rebound. Own opponent Jermaine O'Neill knocked to the ground.

But Roy Hibbert didn't notice that Darren Collison, who almost lost his balance, was standing behind him!As a result, when Roy Hibbert fell, his entire body was pressed on the right knee of Darren Collison behind him, who was struggling to support himself.Suddenly Darren Collison felt a sharp pain in his knee, and couldn't help but yelled and fell to the ground clutching his knee.

The referee on duty, Joe Crawford, immediately blew his whistle, and the battle for rebounds under the basket immediately stopped.The Indiana Pacers players on the court saw Darren Collison lying on the floor clutching his knees, his expression extremely painful, and immediately surrounded him.Seeing this, Pacers team doctor Sanders Conkel rushed onto the court and came to Darren Collison's side.

"Hey, Darren, how are you feeling?" Saunders Conkel asked, half kneeling, leaning over Darren Collison.

But Darren Collison shook his head feebly, still hugging his knees, and beady beads of sweat began to roll down his brow and onto the floor beside him.

"Hurry up and let the stretcher come in!" Sanders Conkel turned around and said loudly to his assistant, then turned around and began to do some simple treatments.

"How's Darren's injury?" Danny Granger, who was standing aside, asked with concern.

"I don't dare to draw conclusions yet, but the preliminary judgment is that the bone is probably broken." Saunders Conkel said in a regretful tone, while slowly helping Darren Collison straighten his right Leg, although it was just a small movement, the pained expression on Darren Collison's face was even worse.

Roy Hibbert looks guilty as he stands aside at the words of team doctor Saunders Conkel because it was Roy Hibbert who hit Darren Collison's knee when he went down .Looking at the weight of Roy Hibbert, one can imagine the powerful impact on Darren Collison's poor knee.

The stretcher was carried on the field, but Darren Collison shook his head weakly, "I don't want to be carried off the field on a stretcher." Darren Collison said.

"Darren wants to go back to the locker room by himself!" Saunders Conkel said loudly. Although he himself did not agree with this, he knew that NBA players have always been unwilling to let themselves be carried off by stretchers or wheelchairs. There is nothing he can do to stop it.

"Promise, and Paul (George), hurry up and help!" Danny Granger yelled at the team's bench by the side of the field. Len Collison.

"Darren, you'll be fine," Paul George whispered to Darren Collison.

"Yes, this is not a serious injury, you can return to the game soon." Xu Nuo said the same to Darren Collison.

And Roy Hibbert seemed to want to step forward to say something sorry to Darren Collison, but in the end he didn't go forward. Danny Granger patted Roy Hibbert lightly. special shoulders.

Armed with promises and Paul George, Darren Collison began limping toward the players' locker room, followed by team doctor Saunders Conkel and his assistants.The hanging hearts of the fans at the scene were slightly relieved, and bursts of applause for Darren Collison began to sound from the stands.

After Xu Nuo and Paul George helped Darren Collison back to the locker room, they returned directly to the field. When they walked in the player channel, Paul George said: "In this way, Darren will definitely be absent for a while. of."

"It's a pity that the season has only just begun," said Xu Nuo.

"And in this way, there are only two point guards on the team, you and George (Hill)." Paul George said.

"But none of the two of us is qualified for the role of starting point guard. If Darren is absent for a long time, the impact on the team will be very, very large." Xu Nuo said.

Paul George originally wanted to say "so you can become the starting point guard", but at this time they had returned to the court, Paul George had to swallow the words that had come to his mouth.At this time, coach Larry Brown had already made a substitution. The point guard on the court was George Hill, because he promised to help Darren Collison to the locker room during the substitution.

"How is Darren's injury?" Seeing that they were promised to return to the bench, coach Larry Brown began to ask Darren Collison's injury at the beginning.

"Team doctor Saunders is doing preliminary treatment for Darren. He has sent someone to notify the hospital, and the hospital will send a car to pick Darren up for further examination." Xu Nuo replied.

Coach Larry Brown nodded, his expression very solemn.Seeing that Coach Larry Brown stopped asking questions, Xu Nuo was about to return to his seat, but Xu Nuo didn't expect Coach Larry Brown to stop him.

"Promise, you are ready to play, replace George (Hill)." Coach Larry Brown said.

Xu Nuo hastily agreed, took off his sports jacket, and came to the scorer's table to prepare to play.

George Hill, who was ordered to play in danger, did not perform very well because he was not prepared. Rajon Rondo sent two consecutive assists to help the Boston Celtics rewrite the score to 86:88. Two points behind the Indiana Pacers.Rajon Rondo narrowly missed George Hill's pass and the ball flew off the sideline.

At this time, the buzzer in the Conseco Arena sounded again, promising to replace George Hill and make another appearance.

As soon as Xu Nuo stepped onto the court in the center of the Conseco Arena, cheers erupted from the surrounding stands.Xu Nuo made up his mind to leave aside whether the fans at the scene welcome him to play or not. Playing well in the last two or three minutes of the game is the most important thing now.

Promising to take the ball to reorganize the team's offense, David West mentioned receiving the ball in a high position, and after promising to pass the ball, he habitually ran to the left side of the court.At this time, on the right side of the court, David West, Danny Granger and DeMar DeRozan have formed a triangle.The Boston Celtics also seemed to have guessed what the Indiana Pacers would do next, so they put most of their defensive attention on Danny Granger and their strong side.Xu Nuo saw that the opponent's defensive attention had been completely diverted to the strong side, and he immediately started an air cut to the basket.

While promising to start the air cut, David West's pass also arrived at the right time. After promising to catch the ball, he immediately formed a two-on-two situation with Roy Hibbert.Rajon Rondo and Jermaine O'Neal hurriedly blocked Xu Nuo's route for a breakthrough layup, so Xu Nuo flicked his wrist, and the ball hit the ground in Roy Hibbert's hands.Roy Hibbert didn't dare to neglect the slightest, and scored a layup immediately after receiving the ball.The fans at the scene immediately raised their arms and cheered. They have already led the opponent Boston Celtics by four points!

Boston Celtics head coach Doc Rivers had to get up and call for a timeout as Promise jumped up excitedly and collided with Roy Hibbert, Danny Granger put his arm around Promise neck, kept shouting "Good fight! Good fight!".

"Just now we successfully played out our tactics and gave the opponent a fatal blow, which is very good!" In the timeout, Coach Larry Brown said loudly, "In the next minute we will Good defense, keep our lead!"

But after the timeout, Paul Pierce singled Danny Granger successfully, once again narrowing the point difference to only two points.Then the two teams failed to attack again. Ray Allen missed a three-pointer from the outside, and David West immediately handed the ball to Xu Nuo after grabbing the rebound.Xu Nuo got the ball and just started to rush forward, Rajon Rondo hurriedly fouled.

"If you make these two free throws, you can not only get your No. 20 points, but also help the team win the game." Danny Granger said to Xu Xu, "If you dare to make a free throw without In the middle, after the game is over, you have to stay and practice an extra [-] free throws for me!"

"I see." Xu Nuo smiled lightly, and then walked to the free throw line.

Amidst the cheers of nearly 20 fans in the Conseco Arena, Xu Nuo made two free throws steadily, not only scoring his No.92 points in the game, but also helping the team win 88:[-] Four points ahead of the opponent.Then coach Larry Brown made a substitution, replacing Xu Nuo with a more defensive George Hill.When Xu Nuo left the field, the fans once again burst into thunderous applause.

In the end, the Boston Celtics failed to perform a miracle. The promised two free throws helped the team beat the opponent Boston Celtics 92:88.After the game, Rajon Rondo found promise.

"Hey, rookie." Rajon Rondo said to Promise, "You are the best rookie point guard player I have ever seen. It is really interesting to play against you. I look forward to our next meeting." Meet."

Xu Nuo smiled, "I will definitely beat you next time." Xu Nuo said with a smile.

Promise didn't have a long conversation with Rajon Rondo, because his concerns weren't just the game itself, but Darren Collison's injury.Also, Xu Nuo really wants to know what kind of speech Sir Charles Barkley will give in front of audiences across the United States after he gets [-] points.
