Chapter 333 Double Double at Halftime
James Harden takes the ball from point guard Russell Westbrook and drives it toward the Indiana Pacers basket.However, OJ Mayo always blocked his body between James Harden and the basket. James Harden had no chance to continue to attack with the ball, so he had to choose to pass the ball.
However, at this moment, the promise that had been waiting by James Harden's side suddenly started, and James Harden's pass was quickly intercepted by his eyes and hands!
"What?" James Harden was taken aback.
After Xu Nuo broke the ball, he rushed towards the frontcourt at high speed, and Russell Westbrook chased hard.However, Xu Nuo suddenly flicked his wrist slightly, and the ball flew out from behind Xu Nuo, avoiding Russell Westbrook's defense, and accurately landed in the hands of Danny Granger, who was fast breaking on the other side of the court.
"It's Danny Granger again!" exclaimed Jeff Van Gundy, the live commentator.
Danny Granger received the ball, raised the ball in his hand, and made a mid-range shot under the defense of James Harden who quickly withdrew to the backcourt.
"It's a really good pass!" Danny Granger said to Xu Nuo with a smile and high-fived Xu Nuo.
When the small forward Kevin Durant of the Oklahoma City Thunder received the ball, Danny Granger and OJ Mayo immediately double-teamed Kevin Durant.Kevin Durant passed the ball immediately, but James Harden, who received the pass from Kevin Durant, missed another long three-pointer from the outside, and Indiana Pacers power forward David West grabbed the ball. On to the defensive rebound.
Oklahoma City Thunder head coach Scott Brooks frowned slightly, staring at James Harden on the court.
"Looks like James' shooting touch is starting to get worse..." Coach Scott Brooks thought, frowning.
Xu Nuo took the ball from David West, immediately dribbled for a fast break, and handed the ball to Danny Granger after coming to the frontcourt.Danny Granger, who received the ball from beyond the three-point line, first used a shot fake to shake James Harden away, then took the ball and rushed to the Oklahoma City Thunder basket.Facing Kevin Durant's supplementary defense, Danny Granger immediately changed from a face-to-basket attack to a post-up single.
Kevin Durant spreads his arms and struggles to block Danny Granger's attack.However, Danny Granger suddenly turned away from Kevin Durant and came to the basket of the Oklahoma City Thunder in an instant.Faced with Serge Ibaka and Kevin Durant's back and forth attacks, Danny Granger was fearless and picked the ball into the basket with one hand.
"It's too strong, it's really too strong!" Jeff Van Gundy exclaimed, "Tonight's Danny Granger has undoubtedly completely overwhelmed Kevin Durant, at least in terms of scoring, Danny Granger, who has already scored [-] points, has scored a lot more points than Kevin Durant!"
After Danny Granger's layup, the away Indiana Pacers have a 39:32 lead over the home Oklahoma City Thunder by seven points.Oklahoma City Thunder head coach Scott Brooks couldn't sit still any longer and got up to request a timeout.
After a timeout, James Harden was replaced by coach Scott Brooks, who was replaced by Thabo Sefolosha, the best perimeter defender on the Oklahoma City Thunder.Yet even with Thabo Sefolosha on the floor, the Oklahoma City Thunder will still be Kevin Durant manning Danny Granger.The Oklahoma City Thunder facing Thapo Sefolosha is DeMar DeRozan, who also just played.
"Could it be that Coach Scott Brooks is planning to let their head star, Kevin Durant, head-to-head with Danny?" Xu Nuo thought in his heart.
On the first offense after coming back from the timeout, Kevin Durant singled Danny Granger to succeed.But despite this, Kevin Durant only scored his ninth point in the game.However, the players of the Oklahoma City Thunder had just returned to their own team's half, and before they took a defensive position, Xu Nuo had already held the ball and killed the Oklahoma City Thunder's penalty area.
"The speed is so fast!" The players of the Oklahoma City Thunder team were amazed at the same time.
However, the amazement is the amazement, and the defense still needs to be done.Russell Westbrook and Thabo Sefolosha both move at the same time, trying to block the promise of a high-speed drive.However, Russell Westbrook only felt a black shadow flash in front of them, and the promise had already passed between Russell Westbrook and Sapo Sefolosha, facing center Kendry. Defensive layup by G. Perkins.
Russell Westbrook and Thabo Sefolosha looked at each other with a hint of reproach in their eyes.
"Why didn't you block that kid who promised?" Russell Westbrook asked first.
"You know, it was you who faced Xu Xu head-on just now!" Sapo Sefolosha said, "And, you, Russell, were originally responsible for marking the guy promised!"
Seeing Russell Westbrook and Thabo Sefolosha start bickering on the court, coach Scott Brooks on the sidelines couldn't help but start roaring.In the past, coach Scott Brooks gave the impression of being quite gentle and gentle, and it was rare to see coach Scott Brooks get angry.At this time, seeing coach Scott Brooks roaring on the sidelines of the court, Russell Westbrook and Thabo Sefolosha said nothing, and started to attack with the ball.
On offense, Russell Westbrook continued to pass the ball to Kevin Durant.Kevin Durant holds the ball against Danny Granger outside the three-point line, jumps up suddenly, and makes a three-pointer. Danny Granger has no time to interfere with Kevin Durant All he had to do was watch the ball pass over his head and "swipe" into the net hollowly.
"Kevin Durant is going to show off!" Jeff Van Gundy said.
Immediately afterwards, however, Danny Granger received a promised pass on the offensive end and made a mid-range shot to help the Indiana Pacers continue to maintain a six-point lead.After this assist, Xu Nuo's statistics in the first half of the game have reached 3 points and [-] assists. With about [-] minutes before the end of the first half, Xu Nuo scored [-] points and [-] assists in the first half of the game. Getting a double-double is easy.
Kevin Durant came to the offensive end and fired long-range shots from outside the three-point line again. Although this time the outside three-pointer missed a long-range shot, it gave Serge Ibaka a second attack at the basket. Chance.Serge Ibaka grabbed an offensive rebound and then hit a shot. The Oklahoma City Thunder trailed the Indiana Pacers by four points 41-45.
"It doesn't matter, I will expand the lead again soon!" Danny Granger said to his teammates confidently.
"It seems that we can continue to hand the ball to Danny, and Danny can continue to score, there will be no mistakes!" Xu Nuo said while taking the ball from DeMar DeRozan.
Promise dribbles upfield and immediately hands the ball to Danny Granger, and then the Indiana Pacers take the Oklahoma City Thunder defense away from Danny Granger, allowing Dan Ni Granger has enough offensive spacing to single out Kevin Durant.Danny Granger dribbled a step laterally from beyond the three-point line and suddenly lifted the ball high above his head.If Kevin Durant did not choose to step forward to defend at this time, then Danny Granger can shoot directly; and if Kevin Durant stepped forward to defend, Danny Granger can either choose Draw a foul or choose to pass the ball.
Kevin Durant naturally understands this in his heart, but even if he fouls early and sends Danny Granger to the free throw line or forces Danny Granger to pass the ball, it is better than letting Danny Granger rashly. Jay shoots better from beyond the arc.So Kevin Durant stepped forward to block Danny Granger's shot, at the same time Danny Granger suddenly received the ball, leaning his body on Kevin Durant, and then the on-duty Referee Joe Crawford blew his whistle.Joe Crawford called Kevin Durant a defensive foul despite boos from the Chesapeake Energy Arena.
"Tonight you are really almost incomprehensible!" Xu Nuo said to his big brother with a smile when he was high-fiving Danny Granger.
Danny Granger went to the free throw line and made two of three free throws, and the Indiana Pacers still led by six points.
Seeing that no matter how hard they tried, they still couldn't catch up with the score, the players of the Oklahoma City Thunder began to feel a little impatient, and they even didn't know how to play.That's why the Oklahoma City Thunder trailed the Indiana Pacers by as much as seven points 44-51 at the end of the first half.
In the first half of the game alone, Xu Nuo had already scored [-] points and [-] assists. The game was only halfway through, and Xu Nuo had already obtained a double-double.As the top scorer of the Indiana Pacers, Danny Granger performed equally well, scoring [-] points in the half, giving him the upper hand in the duel with Kevin Durant .
"It is precisely because of the outstanding performance of Danny Granger and Xu Nuo that the Indiana Pacers were able to turn away and take the lead against the Oklahoma City Thunder." Game commentator Jeff Van Gundy said, " It seems that during the intermission, coach Scott Brooks has to think of a way to limit the opponent's twin star combination. However, the Indiana Pacers also have a problem to solve, that is why the team Are they the only two who have played so well?"
