Chapter 321 tit for tat
The way to promise to overcome the tension in my heart is actually very simple, that is to try my best to face this game as an ordinary regular season, so that I can relax my tension a little.However, the enthusiastic atmosphere around him, including the shouts of the fans, all reminded Xu Nuo that this is a fierce NBA finals.
Xu Nuo took a deep breath, bent over to support his knees, and watched Oklahoma City Thunder star Kevin Durant walk to the free throw line.Next to Xu, his opponent, Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Russell Westbrook, looked relaxed with his hands on his hips.
"Are you okay?" Russell Westbrook asked with a smile, looking at Xu Nuo.
Xu Nuo straightened up and watched as Kevin Durant made his first free throw to the rim. "It's okay." Xu Nuo said expressionlessly.
Russell Westbrook shrugged and said nothing.
Kevin Durant made two free throws at the free throw line, and the two teams tied for 6:6.Promise took the ball from shooting guard DeMar DeRozan and began to organize the offense.
"It's really not easy for the team to reach the finals all the way, I must play well!" Xu Nuo said to himself in his heart.
On the sidelines of the court, Indiana Pacers coach Larry Brown watched the game on the court with a serious face, watching every move of the promise.
Because promise is also one of the team's two core offensive cores at the beginning of the game!
In addition to the promise, the team's other offensive core is naturally Danny Granger, and the inside core power forward David West is not the core of the team's offensive core in Coach Larry Brown's mind.The reason why coach Larry Brown made this arrangement is naturally to target the two core players of the Oklahoma City Thunder, small forward Kevin Durant and point guard Russell Westbrook.If Danny Granger and Promise can contain Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook on the offensive end, the Oklahoma City Thunder will be less of a threat on the offensive end.
The problem, however, is that Oklahoma City Thunder head coach Scott Brooks didn't put Kevin Durant on Danny Granger, who stood in front of Danny Granger. Perimeter defensive specialist Thabo Sefolosha of the Ma City Thunder.
In this way, coach Larry Brown's arrangement of using Danny Granger as the core of the team's offense has lost the role of restraining Kevin Durant.
Therefore, coach Larry Brown can only rely on promises to contain Russell Westbrook.
On the court, Danny Granger used power forward David West's blocking screen to get rid of Thabo Sefolosha's defense, and came to his best shooting position-outside the 45-degree three-point line, Xu Nuo immediately passed the ball in his hand.But at this moment, Tzapo Sefolosha stood tenaciously in front of Danny Granger again, blocking Danny Granger's attack.
"It's really perseverance!" Danny Granger thought in his heart.
Oklahoma City Thunder center Kendrick Perkins reached out to Danny Granger for the ball, but Danny Granger didn't The ball was passed to Roy Hibbert, but with a flick of the long arm, the ball was like a fired shell, across the entire court, and came to Xu Nuo's hands.Seeing that Xu Nuo got the ball, Russell Westbrook hurried to Xu Nuo to defend.
"You are really scrupulous about me!" Xu Nuo said with a slight smile.
"What did you say?" Russell Westbrook in front of him couldn't help frowning.
Xu Nuo didn't say anything more, but suddenly flicked his wrist slightly, and the ball came into the hands of power forward David West.David West received the ball and turned around to meet Oklahoma City Thunder power forward Serge Ibaka's defensive shot to put the score out.
"What a good pass!" Russell Westbrook exclaimed in a low voice.
Although Russell Westbrook's voice was very low, Xu Nuo still heard what Russell Westbrook said.
"If Russell Westbrook thinks this way in his heart, then he will definitely be more scrupulous about me." Xu Nuo thought to himself, "In this way, Coach Larry Brown's tactical arrangements before the game can be paid. Practice it!"
As the Oklahoma City Thunder still handed the ball to their star star Kevin Durant on offense, Danny Granger bent over Kevin Durant, cautiously facing him.Kevin Durant put the ball under his ribs and suddenly started a breakthrough. Although Danny Granger followed Kevin Durant's footsteps, Kevin Durant still made a sudden stop and hit a fadeaway jumper. The two teams returned to the same starting line again.
"As expected before the game, the game was fiercely competitive from the beginning and fell into a stalemate!" said the live commentator Jeff Van Gundy.
However, in Xu Nuo's heart, he didn't think about these things.
"Actually, Coach Larry Brown originally planned to use Danny Granger to contain Kevin Durant, but in the game, Kevin Durant used his offense to contain Danny instead!" Promise Thinking in my heart, "How can Danny have the upper hand in the matchup with Kevin Durant?"
On the sidelines, Coach Larry Brown was thinking exactly the same question.
In the next attack, Danny Granger still used power forward David West's block to get rid of Thabo Sefolosha's defense.Thabo Sefolosha tried to squeeze past David West and continue chasing Danny Granger, but bumped his head against a "wall".Thabo Sefolosha looked up to see Indiana Pacers center Roy Hibbert blocking his way.At this time, Danny Granger had already reached the basket of the Oklahoma City Thunder, and Kevin Durant had to go to defend Danny Granger.At this moment, Xu Nuo passed the ball in his hand to Danny Granger.
"Be careful!" Russell Westbrook shouted to his partner.
Kevin Durant throws his arms up, trying to block Danny Granger's shot.However, Danny Granger feinted the ball, and Kevin Durant, who didn't know the trick, jumped up immediately.At this moment, Danny Granger leaned on Kevin Durant and at the same time threw the ball in his hand towards the basket.
"Beep—" The referee on duty, Mike Callahan, blew his whistle.
In referee Mike Callahan's whistle, the ball hit the backboard with a "bang" and then bounced into the basket.And beside Danny Granger, Kevin Durant raised his arm.
"Danny Granger actually caused Kevin Durant's defensive foul and made a free throw at the same time he made a shot!" Jeff Van Gundy, the live commentator, said loudly, "This seems to be the case in this game. For the first time since the start of the game, Kevin Durant was at a disadvantage against Danny Granger!"
Hearing what Jeff Van Gundy said, Xu Nuo couldn't help showing a cold smile.
"It seems that the goal has finally been achieved!" Xu Nuo said to himself.
Danny Granger walked to the free throw line and made a solid double to give Indiana a three-point lead.Immediately after Russell Westbrook missed a mid-range jumper forcibly on the offensive end, David West grabbed a defensive rebound and promised to launch a quick counterattack immediately after getting the ball.
"It's finally here, the Indiana Pacers' snapback!" Jeff Van Gundy yelled from the sidelines.
Russell Westbrook let out a cold snort, turned around and chased promise, holding the ball and rushing towards the Oklahoma City Thunder's basket at high speed.In the NBA, there are only a handful of players who can catch up with the promised footsteps, but Russell Westbrook is one of these players.
However, although Russell Westbrook kept up with Xu's footsteps, Xu Nuo made a jump to avoid Russell Westbrook's defense, and then scored a layup. At 13:8, the Indiana Pacers in the away game lead the Oklahoma City Thunder at home by five points.
"The Indiana Pacers finally opened the score by relying on their best quick counterattack!" Jeff Van Gundy said.
Xu Nuo shook his head.
"Although the score was thrown away by using a quick counterattack, the score is basically obtained through the direct dialogue between the stars!" Xu Nuo said in his heart, "Including Danny Granger's hit just now The three-pointers are all the result of star-to-star direct dialogue!"
After Russell Westbrook dribbled downfield, Oklahoma City Thunder head coach Scott Brooks stood up and called for a timeout.Xu Nuo raised his head high and walked towards the team's bench.The players on the bench stood up and high-fived the players who were leaving the field one by one.
"Good job!" Coach Larry Brown came over, patted Xu Nuo on the shoulder lightly, and said with a smile.
You know, the strict Larry Brown coach has always rarely praised his players.Xu Nuo raised his head and looked at Coach Larry Brown in surprise.
"It is because of your outstanding performance that we can lead the opponent!" Coach Larry Brown continued, "From your performance on the court, it is not at all obvious that you are just a rookie participating in the NBA Finals for the first time. player!"
