super point guard

Chapter 89
"In the first half of the game, he promised to score [-] points and [-] assists on all five shots. He performed quite well!" During the intermission, coach Larry Brown said in the home team's locker room, "However, I promise you should notice a problem."

Hearing this, Xu Nuo, who was wiping his head down, raised his head and looked at Coach Larry Brown.

"You should have noticed that in the entire first half, you didn't even make a free throw!" Coach Larry Brown said loudly.

Xu Nuo couldn't help but put down the towel in his hand.

"What does this mean?" Coach Larry Brown continued, "It means that at least in the first half of the game, you played too softly!"

Xu Nuo nodded silently. What Coach Larry Brown said was indeed true. Except for those two dunks, his other points were all obtained from outside shots, and none of his points came through breakthroughs or free throws. owned.

"It can be said that you can maintain a [-]% shooting percentage in the first half of the game, which is more or less lucky," coach Larry Brown looked at Xu Xu and said, "And in the second half, your opponents will definitely use more With a stronger and more aggressive defense to deal with you, coupled with the decline in your own physical strength, it is impossible for you to maintain such a good touch all the time! Therefore, in the second half, I hope you can strengthen your breakthrough! Even if you don’t make a shot, it’s okay Create a free throw foul!"

"I see, coach." Xu Nuo nodded.

Coach Larry Brown nodded, and then looked at the technical statistics table in his hand.

"We did a good job defending in the first half and only allowed Houston to score 43 points." Coach Larry Brown looked at the technical statistics and said, "It is precisely because of our strong defense that we scored 51 points. :43, eight points ahead of Houston. I hope we can continue to maintain this solid defense in the second half of the game."

"The two players with the highest score in Houston are Luis Scola and Kevin Martin," said coach Brian Shaw, the team's chief assistant coach, "twelve points and nine points respectively, but it is worth noting Yes, these two players are one inside and one outside."

Coach Larry Brown nodded, then looked at David West and DeMar DeRozan.

"In the second half, we need to strengthen our defense on the inside," said Coach Larry Brown. "Roy (Hibert), you assist David in double-teaming Luis Scola, and if necessary, make a round or a half-round defense. , to restrict Luis Scola from receiving the ball, as long as he cannot receive the ball, we can limit his scoring."

"Yes, coach!" Roy Hibbert and David West nodded and said.

"As for Kevin Martin, the main thing is to be careful not to be fouled by him," coach Larry Brown continued. "Free throws are a great tool for Kevin Martin to score. In addition, we can use our physical advantage To guard Kevin Martin, that kid is too skinny."

"Understood, coach." DeMar DeRozan and OJ Mayo nodded.

It was almost time to start the second half, and Coach Larry Brown stood up.

"Okay, get ready to play, boys!" Coach Larry Brown yelled.

So everyone formed a circle in the locker room, and under the leadership of captain Danny Granger, they chanted together: "1-2-3, Pacers!"

When Xu Nuo and their figures just appeared on the court, the live commentator in the Conseco Arena said loudly: "The Indiana boys came to the court. They played very well in the first half of the game, leading Houston. Eight points. It is worth mentioning that our starting point guard, Xu Xu, scored [-] points on five shots in the first half of the game. So far, Xu Xu's shooting percentage has remained at [-]%. Tonight we will witness another hit rate night!"

"They're talking about you again." Dengtai Jones said to Xu Nuo with a smile.

Xu Nuo smiled, "Just let them say, I don't care." Xu Nuo said.

With the start of the second half of the game, the originally dull fans' stands went crazy again.And when Xu promised to get the ball, some young female fans in the stands started screaming again. This time, the screams probably couldn't even be received by the bat.

"Did you see his moves on the court? He's so handsome!" A female fan sitting near the baseline said to her female companion.

"Not only is his movement very handsome, but his face is almost too handsome!" The female companion was obviously also in a state of extreme madness.

"I don't know if he still has a girlfriend. If not, I will happily ask him if I am suitable." The first girl said intoxicated.

When the female fan was saying this, Xu Nuo happened to be standing near the bottom line and just overheard the conversation between the female fan and her female companion.After hearing this sentence, Xu Nuo's first reaction was to glance at his parents' position uneasily, always rejoicing in his heart that his parents could not hear the conversation of these two female fans.And in the stands, Xu Nuo's parents are eating popcorn contentedly, seeming to enjoy the lively atmosphere in the arena.

Because coach Larry Brown pointed out to Xu Nuo his problem in the first half of the game-too few breakthroughs in the halftime, so in the second half of the game, Xu Nuo began to drive the ball to the paint area of ​​the Houston Rockets non-stop. Go, and then break through the ball to assist teammates to score.Facing the point guard Kyle Lowry of the Houston Rockets, Xu Nuo has an absolute advantage in speed and can easily break through Kyle Lowry's defense by using rapid continuous changes of direction and continuous acceleration.So, when Promise broke through Kyle Lowry for the third time and entered the Rockets paint area, a somewhat exasperated Kyle Lowry fouled.

Houston Rockets head coach Kevin McHale stood on the edge of the court, spreading his hands with a helpless expression on his face.But Kyle Lowry did commit a foul, no doubt about it.Under the gaze of Kyle Lowry's helpless eyes and amidst the laughter of the fans, Xu Nuo walked to the free throw line.

"If Xu Nuo hits all of these two free throws, then his shooting percentage in tonight's game can continue to be [-]%." ​​When Xu Nuo walked to the free throw line, the on-site commentator said at the right time.

Xu Nuo couldn't help frowning slightly when he heard this sentence, he took the ball thrown by the referee, patted it in his hand, and then threw it towards the basket.

With a "bang", the ball hit the basket's neck.

Xu Nuo's frown has been locked into the word "Chuan", "Can't we really guarantee a [-]% hit rate tonight?" Xu Nuo said in his heart.

However, the ball flicked twice on the neck of the basket, and finally fell into the net bag.

Xu Nuo let out a sigh of relief, it seems that luck is still on his side tonight.

After Nuo made his first free throw, the buzzer in Conseco Arena rang and Nuo looked courtside as Houston Rockets head coach Kevin McHale replaced him with Goran Dragic Kyle Lowry.

"Hey, the opponent has changed." Xu Nuo said in his heart.

After Goran Dragic came on, Promise's second free throw hit the rim equally solidly.

"Xuan made two free throws. Up to now, no matter whether it is a sports game or a free throw, Xu Xin has never missed a ball. Tonight can really be called a 'shooting night'!" On-site commentator Said so.

Hearing the on-site commentator's commentary, Xu Nuo smiled slightly, wiped the sweat from his mouth with his jersey, and then bent down to face his new opponent, Goran Dragic.

Goran Dragic at this time is much mediocre compared to Goran Dragic who showed his prowess against the San Antonio Spurs in the Western Conference playoffs.Goran Dragic's playing also failed to stop Xu Nuo's outstanding performance. Throughout the third quarter, Xu Nuo made a mid-range jumper and made four free throws, continuing his [-]% shooting percentage.

Because the Indiana Pacers had established a 103-point lead in the first three quarters, Xu Xu didn't play at all in the fourth quarter.In the end, the Indiana Pacers easily defeated the Houston Rockets at home 86:[-]. They promised to make [-] of [-] shots and [-] free throws in the game. They scored [-] points and [-] assists, which was the first time in their career. The double-double is only one assist away.

When the post-match interview ended and he promised to walk out of the Conseco Arena, he was in a good mood.And when Xu Nuo breathed the fresh air in the night outside the stadium and looked up at the stars in the night sky, Xu Nuo found that the world was so beautiful.

"Tonight is really a memorable night!" George Hill said with a smile to the promise who was looking up at the stars.

"Yeah, this is my first starting night, and it's also the first time I've shot [-] percent in a game," Xu Nuo said.

"I hope you can continue such an outstanding performance in future games." George Hill said.

"If I play well, won't you get a chance to play?" Xu Nuo said half-jokingly.

"I don't care anymore," said George Hill.

Xu Nuo smiled, and at this time Xu Nuo's parents also walked out of the arena, and everyone got into George Hill's car together, and then disappeared into the endless night.
