Chapter 262 Despair
Danny Granger uses center Roy Hibbert's block screen to escape the slow-footed Orlando Magic small forward Hedo Turkoglu and comes to the 45-degree three-point line that he is best at , received a pass from power forward David West.At this time, the 24-second attack time was running out, and Danny Granger faced the Orlando Magic shooting guard Jason Richardson who was rushing towards him, and forced a shot from outside the three-point line.The ball hit the front of the basket with a "clang" and bounced out.
"Rebound!" Danny Granger yelled.
However, David West, the team's best rebounder, lost to Orlando Magic power forward Glenn Davis in this fight.Glenn Davis got a backcourt rebound, and the Orlando Magic immediately launched a quick counterattack.
"Want to score fast breaks in front of us who are best at quick counterattacks? Easy!" Darren Collison yelled, quickly returning to his team's half court and standing under the Indiana Pacers basket.
"Be careful of being hit, Darren!" Xu Nuo, who was sitting in front of the technical stage waiting to play, said in his heart.
Sure enough, Jason Richardson, dribbling toward the Indiana Pacers basket at high speed, collided with Darren Collison when he jumped up for a layup.The on-duty referee Tom Washington immediately blew his whistle, and then pointed to Darren Collison who was knocked to the ground by Jason Richardson.
"What?" Darren Collison sat up from the floor when he saw Tom Washington calling himself a foul. "Why did I foul?"
"Darren, pay attention to controlling your emotions!" Danny Granger said to Darren Collison seriously. If Darren Collison keeps talking to the referee like this, it is very likely that he will Called a technical foul.Darren Collison stood up with a helpless expression on his face.
Through the slow-motion replay of the scene, it was indeed Darren Collison's blocking foul, and Darren Collison had nothing to say.Jason Richardson stepped up to the free throw line and made his first free throw, cheers from the stands around the court, and the Orlando Magic are now only seven points behind the Indiana Pacers.
At this moment, the buzzer in the Amway Center Arena sounded, promising to replace Darren Collison, who had just fouled, and stood on the court again after only about 4 minutes into the third quarter.
This time Orlando Magic head coach Stan Van Gundy was less flustered when he saw promise play.The team's full-court press defense successfully limited the Indiana Pacers' primary point guard Darren Collison, allowing the Indiana Pacers' offense to stagnate, and even if promised to return to the court, it will not be possible. Not necessarily able to break through the team's full-court press defense.Coach Stan Van Gundy thought to himself, stroking his moustache.
Jason Richardson's second free throw hit the rim likewise, and the gap between the two teams was now just six.Xu Nuo took the ball from DeMar DeRozan, turned around, and was immediately surrounded by Jameer Nelson and Jason Richardson.
"Hey, it's serious." Xu Nuo thought coldly in his heart.
"You have no way to break through the defense of the two of us!" Jamil Nelson said to Xu Nuo with a hint of sarcasm.
"Do you really think so?" Xu Nuo asked coldly. At the same time, Xu Nuo suddenly threw the ball in his hand high, past Jamil Nelson and Jason Richardson. the top of the person's head.Immediately afterwards, Promise burst through the gap between Jameer Nelson and Jason Richardson.
"What does he want?" Jamil Nelson wondered, almost asking the question.
"Isn't it a foul for him to break through like that?" A fan sitting in the first row of audience seats by the side of the court stood up and asked the referee Tom Washington who was standing nearby.
However, Tom Washington did not make any foul representation, and Xu Nuo successfully rushed out of the defense of Jameer Nelson and Jason Richardson.Prior to this, the ball thrown by Xu Nuo was received by DeMar DeRozan, and Xu Nuo immediately reached out to DeMar DeRozan for the ball after rushing out of the defense.Seeing that Jason Richardson was about to catch up with him, DeMar DeRozan had no choice but to pass the ball back to Xu, who got the ball and immediately dribbled towards the frontcourt.
"Stop him!" Coach Stan Van Gundy yelled at his boys from the sidelines.
But just as the Orlando Magic players focused their defensive attention on Xu, Xu made a touchdown pass to Danny Granger.At this time, Danny Granger was already unmarked, and Danny Granger easily made a long three-pointer from the outside.
"Oh, no..." There were sighs of disappointment from the fans stands around the stadium,
"The promised breakthrough speed and passing action are really too fast, and the surrounding defensive players can't keep up with the promised action." The live commentator in the Amway Center Arena said, "Danny Granger hit a three-pointer, and the point difference returned to nine points..."
Seeing that the points that the Orlando Magic had worked so hard to catch up to were easily pulled away by the Indiana Pacers, coach Stan Van Gundy grabbed his hair with a sad face, and the expression on his face seemed to be distorted.Promise just now successfully broke through the double-team defense of Jameer Nelson and Jason Richardson, which means that he cannot continue to use the full-court press defense from now on, because this kind of defense is harmful to the Indiana Pacers. is no longer valid.As a result, the Orlando Magic can only fall into the middle of the law-abiding offense and defense.
"It seems that we have to think of other ways." Coach Stan Van Gundy said to himself.
The Indiana Pacers didn't use a full-court press, and Jameer Nelson was able to get to the frontcourt without a hitch.Glenn Davis, with his back against David West, reaches out to Jameer Nelson for the ball.Jameer Nelson originally planned to pass the ball directly to Glenn Davis, but Jameer Nelson was afraid of the promised one-on-one stealing ability, so he did not pass the ball to Glenn Davis, but to Hedo Turkoglu.It's too late for Hedo Turkoglu to pass the ball to Glen Davis, DeMar DeRozan leaps high to get Hedo Turkoglu from Glen Davis Lu's pass was interrupted.
"Oh, no matter what you do, you will be cut off..." Jamil Nelson thought helplessly.
Just as DeMar DeRozan cut off Hedo Turkoglu's pass, Xu Nuo quickly started and rushed towards the frontcourt. DeMar DeRozan immediately threw the ball forward field.Although Jameer Nelson has tried hard to counter DeMar DeRozan's pass, it has not been successful.When Nuo came to the Orlando basket, only one Orlando player, Jason Richardson, stepped back to defend, and Nuo easily dunked.
"This kind of defensive intensity doesn't look like the playoffs at all!" Xu Nuo said to himself, while Jason Richardson angrily smashed the ball to the floor.
The Indiana Pacers bench on the sidelines was jubilant, while the fans behind the bench were dead silent.Prior to this, the Orlando Magic used nearly 4 minutes to chase the point difference from 1 points to only [-] points, while the Indiana Pacers took less than [-] minute to expand the point difference from [-] points to [-] points again. .Seeing that the time gradually came to the second half of the third quarter, the hearts of the fans of the home team who watched the game at the Amway Center Arena were once again suspended, watching the game on the court with an almost desperate mood .
"The problem that the Orlando Magic need to solve urgently is not the defensive problem, but the offensive end." The on-site commentator said, "Now the third quarter is halfway through, and the Orlando Magic only scored 46 points. It's really bad..."
Coach Stan Van Gundy, head coach of the Orlando Magic, touched his chin. What the on-site commentator said was exactly what Coach Stan Van Gundy was thinking at this time.However, wanting to strengthen the team's offense is by no means as simple as talking about it.
Jason Richardson missed a long [-]-pointer from the perimeter, and David West beat Glenn Davis for a backcourt rebound.Xu Nuo took the ball from David West, dribbled it to the frontcourt, paused for a moment at the top of the three-point arc, then flicked his wrist slightly, and the ball came to the three-point line at the bottom corner Outside the hands of DeMar DeRozan.DeMar DeRozan received the ball and shot directly outside the three-point line. The ball flew directly into the basket like a shell fired from the chamber.
At 60:46, the Indiana Pacers in the away game have already led the Orlando Magic at home by [-] points!
Jason Richardson missed a long three-pointer from the outside before, but now he missed another three-pointer, so there is a six-point gap.From the hope of catching up with only eight points, to now falling behind by [-] points, the hearts of Orlando Magic fans are like riding a roller coaster, ups and downs.
Orlando Magic head coach Stan Van Gundy rose from his bench and called for a long timeout.Seeing the [-]-point difference and the little time left, everyone in the Amway Center Arena began to feel hopeless, except for the players of the Indiana Pacers.
