Chapter 253 Starting from Defense

In the first two games in Indianapolis, Xu Nuo's parents and Ellen Page both came to the Conseco Arena to watch Xu Nuo's game live, but Xu Nuo's performance in the game was not particularly amazing , at least according to the data.In Orlando, Mom and Dad didn't come to the Orlando Magic's Amway Arena to watch the game together, promising to only see Ellen Page in the stands of the fans.

"Could it be that my performance is so-so because my parents are watching my game?" Xu Nuo thought in his heart, "So, in tonight's game, wouldn't I have a big explosion..."

Xu Nuo thinks like this, and even himself feels ridiculous for the thoughts in his heart.

"Such a thought is really ridiculous." Xu Nuo said to himself.

With Game [-] of the series between the Indiana Pacers and Orlando Magic approaching, Xu Xu needs to focus on the upcoming game.

This game is an extremely crucial game for both sides.If the Orlando Magic continue to lose, they will fall into a situation where they will be eliminated as long as they lose one more game. In the history of the NBA, no team can come back from a 0:3 deficit success.And if the Orlando Magic can pull back a victory at home, then they still have the possibility of advancing.

It can be said that no one can afford to lose in tonight's game.

For the two teams, the Indiana Pacers, who have already led 2:0, undoubtedly have the upper hand in terms of mentality, while the Orlando Magic, which has returned to the Amway Center in Orlando, has home court advantage.All these factors make the outcome of this game full of uncertainty.

As the referee Tom Washington blew the whistle in his mouth, this crucial game finally began.Indiana Pacers center Roy Hibbert once again defeated "Big Baby" Glenn Davis, who played as the main center of the Orlando Magic, to grab the opening jump ball and the ball came to Darren Collison.

"I don't know what kind of tactics Coach Stan Van Gundy will use in this game?" Coach Larry Brown standing on the sidelines and Xu Xu sitting on the bench of the Indiana Pacers thought at the same time. Holding his chin, he carefully watched the game on the court.

After Darren Collison dribbled upfield, he handed the ball to Danny Granger.Just as Danny Granger received the ball, small forward Hedo Turkoglu and shooting guard Jason Richardson, who were in charge of defending Danny Granger, rushed forward immediately, facing Danny Granger. Granger formed a double-team defense.

"From the beginning of the game, we have to double-team Danny. It seems that we are desperately trying to limit our scoring ability!" Xu Nuo thought in his heart.

Seeing his opponent begin to double-team himself, Danny Granger hurriedly passed the ball back to the unguarded shooting guard DeMar DeRozan in front of him.However, at the same time that Danny Granger passed the ball and DeMar DeRozan received the ball, Jason Richardson returned to DeMar DeRozan almost instantly, re- Blocked between DeMar DeRozan and the basket.

"Judging from the defensive attitude of the Orlando Magic players, coach Stan Van Gundy must have given an order to win before the game, and he clearly instructed that he must fight hard to defend." Coach Larry Brown thought in his heart.

DeMar DeRozan faced Jason Richardson with the ball. He had no chance to break through Jason Richardson's defensive attack, so he had to choose to hang the ball inside.David West raised his arm, ready to receive a pass from DeMar DeRozan, but before David West's hands touched the ball, Ryan Anderson, who was in charge of defending him, took a pass from David Weis The referee Tom Washington immediately blew the whistle in his mouth.

"Hey, there's no need to defend so desperately, David didn't make any threatening offensive moves at all." Xu Nuo said to himself.

"It seems that they want to do everything possible to prevent us from scoring." OJ Mayo, who was sitting next to Xu Xu, said.

"But if they defend like this, they will soon fall into foul trouble, and in the end it will still be us who have the advantage." Xu Nuo leaned back on the back of the chair and said.

DeMar DeRozan stood on the baseline and the Indiana Pacers reorganized the offense.Darren Collison immediately passed the ball to Danny Granger who was standing outside the 45-degree three-point line when he received the ball.Danny Granger forcibly made a three-pointer from the outside before the opponent's double-teaming defense formed, and the ball hit the edge of the basket with a "clang".

"Damn!" Danny Granger cursed under his breath.

"Big Baby" Glenn Davis grabbed the backcourt rebound, and the Orlando Magic immediately launched a quick counterattack.However, in front of the Indiana Pacers, who are best at using quick counterattacks, the Orlando Magic's quick counterattack efficiency is not so high.While the players of the Orlando Magic were making a fast break, the players of the Indiana Pacers had already quickly returned to defense, and the Orlando Magic had to fall into a positional battle.

"The return to defense is really fast. This team has indeed received quite strict training under Coach Larry Brown!" Coach Stan Van Gundy stood on the sidelines of the court and saw the Indiana Pacers' return to defense. The team's fast break was completely suppressed, and they could only shake their heads helplessly.

After falling into a positional fight, Jameer Nelson handed the ball to "Big Baby" Glenn Davis in the paint, and Glenn Davis received the ball and started holding it with his back against David West ball.At this time, Danny Granger has already arrived near Glenn Davis. As long as Glenn Davis starts to dribble and single David West, Danny Granger will immediately rush to steal Glenn. The ball in Davis' hands.

And Glenn Davis naturally guessed the purpose of Danny Granger's presence by his side. Instead of choosing to play David West one-on-one, he chose to pass the ball back to the outside.Jason Richardson received the ball from beyond the three-point line, and DeMar DeRozan immediately stood in front of Jason Richardson.Jason Richardson took a step sideways with the dribble, then jumped up and made a long three-pointer from the outside. The ball hit the neck of the basket.

"After the opening, the defense of the two teams is very good. It seems that tonight's game will be another defensive battle!" Said the game commentator in the Amway Center Arena.

"The so-called starting from the defense..." Hearing the game commentator say that, Xu Nuo, sitting on the Indiana Pacers bench, said this.

The Orlando Magic's defense prevented the Indiana Pacers' quick counterattack. If Xu Nuo was on the court, Xu Nuo could use his best speed to get rid of the Orlando Magic's defense to complete this quick counterattack.However, now Xu Nuo is sitting on the bench of the Indiana Pacers, and none of the Indiana Pacers players on the court is as fast as Xu Xu. Facing the timely retreat of the Orlando Magic, he can only suppress the rhythm of the game.

"If the ball is handed over to Danny, they will definitely double-team him, but the inside defense is more oppressive, and hanging inside should not be a good choice..." Darren Collison While slowly controlling the ball, he was thinking in his heart.

At this moment, Jamil Nelson in front of Darren Collison suddenly started and rushed towards the ball in Darren Collison's hands.Surprised, Darren Collison spun around to avoid Jameer Nelson's tackle.At this time, Darren Collison suddenly found that there were no players in front of him defending him.

"Good opportunity to attack!" Darren Collison said loudly in his heart, and immediately dribbled towards the Orlando Magic's basket. It seemed that Darren Collison was going to score a layup on his own.

But just as Darren Collison threw the ball in his hand towards the basket, the figure of "Big Baby" Glenn Davis suddenly appeared above Darren Collison's head, and then , Glenn Davis slapped the ball thrown by Darren Collison out of the court!

"Oh——" There was a surprised sigh from the fans stands in the Amway Center Arena.

"We won't let you score under our basket so easily!" Glenn Davis said looking at Darren Collison.

Xu Nuo, who was sitting on the bench of the Indiana Pacers under the court, heard Glenn Davis's words, and couldn't help showing a cold look in his eyes.

"It seems that the defeat in those two games didn't make them change their arrogance." Xu Nuo said to himself coldly.

At this moment, in Xu Nuo's heart, he began to eagerly hope that Coach Larry Brown would call his name sooner.

On the court, Indiana Pacers power forward David West also heard what Glen Davis said to Darren Collison, and an unknown anger rose from his heart.

"Don't be smug, you guy!" David West said to Glenn Davis.

"What did you say?" Glenn Davis asked, wrinkles creeping up his round head.

"From now on, you can enjoy the taste of failure!" David West looked at Glen Davis and said in a cold tone.

David West is finally going to show off!
