Chapter 230 The Battle of Texas ([-])

Tony Parker was slowly dribbling the ball at the top of the arc when San Antonio Spurs power forward Tim Duncan mentioned the high post to set a pick-and-roll for Tony Parker.Although Tony Parker didn't change his expression when he saw Tim Duncan coming to cover for him, Xu Nuo still saw from the subtle movement changes in Tony Parker's hand that Tony Parker was about to start holding the ball to break through.

When Tim Duncan blocked his body on the line that promised to guard Tony Parker, Tony Parker had already started quickly, bypassing Tim Duncan's body and rushing into the Indiana Pacers paint.Xu promised to continue to defend Tony Parker, but was firmly blocked by Tim Duncan.Fortunately, the other players of the Indiana Pacers reacted quickly this time. When Tony Parker rushed into the team's paint area with the ball, he had already formed a siege.Xu Nuo squeezed past Tim Duncan and joined the circle of Tony Parker.

At this time, the team captain Danny Granger, who was still sitting on the team's bench under the court, shouted to Xu: "Be careful that Tony Parker will pass the ball to Tim Duncan!"

Although Xu Nuo didn't make any obvious expression of this during the high-speed running game, he had already begun to pay attention to Tony Parker's pass in his heart.However, Tony Parker seemed to have also heard Danny Granger's instructions to Xu Nuo, and deliberately did not pass the ball back to Tim Duncan who was standing near the free throw line, but made a small throw by himself.The ball went over the heads of the Indiana Pacers, including center Roy Hibbert, who jumped up and tried to block Tony Parker, and "swiped" into the net!

"Playing ball is really smart!" Xu Nuo said coldly.

Tony Parker, who heard Xu Nuo's words, glanced at Xu Nuo, turned around and ran towards his team's half.

Xu Nuo took the ball from teammate Paul George and began to carefully organize the team's offense. "We stabilized the rhythm and slowly looked for every opportunity to score!" Xu Nuo shouted to his teammates.

Indiana Pacers head coach Larry Brown, who was sitting under the court, leaned on the back of the chair, looking relaxed, as if he would not have to worry about directing the game as long as he promised to be on the court .However, although Coach Larry Brown looked relaxed, the chief assistant coach of the Indiana Pacers, Coach Brian Shaw, who was sitting next to him, did not seem to be in such a relaxed mood, but still looked at the game on the court with a serious face. Watching Xu Nuo's every move on the court.

Tony Parker bent down, carefully facing the promise in front of him, carefully guarding against the promise's attack.However, Xu Nuo did not attack with the ball by himself like Tony Parker, but closely observed the running positions of his teammates, looking for teammates who were in open positions.Small forward Paul George used center Roy Hibbert's screen to run to the three-point line, promised to pass the ball immediately, and began to cruise up and down the court, tearing apart the San Antonio Spurs defense.However, Paul George did not shoot directly after receiving the ball, but passed the ball to the Spaniard Rudy Fernandez who was outside the three-point line in the bottom corner.

Rudy Fernandez gets the ball and starts driving toward the San Antonio Spurs basket.At this time, Xu Nuo continued to use the cover of center Roy Hibbert to get rid of Tony Parker's defense and came near the penalty area. Rudy Fernandez immediately passed the ball to Xu Nuo.Xu Nuo, who got the ball again, immediately jumped up and made a mid-range shot as soon as he received the ball. Although Tony Parker tried his best to follow up with Xu Nuo, he failed to form an effective defense against Xu Nuo and could only look at Xu Nuo. The shot was made.

"Tony Parker and Xu Nuo scored two points respectively. Now the point guards of the two teams on the court have begun to explode each other. Neither of them can limit the opponent's attack." Said the game commentator in the AT&T Arena .

Before the game commentator finished speaking, Xu Nuo and Tony Parker said almost simultaneously: "You are wrong!"

Tim Duncan, who was about to cover for Tony Parker, seemed to have heard what Xu Nuo said to Tony Parker, and even Tim Duncan, who had always been dull, couldn't help laughing.At this time, Tim Duncan's pick-and-roll screen for Tony Parker did not form, but Tony Parker still started to break through and bypassed Tim Duncan.However, this time, Xu Nuo was not blocked by Tim Duncan from the line of defense. Xu Nuo came directly from behind Tim Duncan in front of Tony Parker.Seeing Xu Nuo appearing in front of him again, Tony Parker had no choice but to stop his continued breakthrough.

At this moment, Tim Duncan raised his hands and asked Tony Parker for the ball, while turning around and rushing towards the Indiana Pacers' basket.Without hesitation, Tony Parker grounded the ball to Tim Duncan.However, the moment the ball bounced again after hitting the ground, Xu Nuo suddenly reached out and blocked Tony Parker's pass.

"What?" Tony Parker was taken aback.

"If you want to break through my defense with a ground pass, you are still young!" Xu Nuo said coldly.

As a veteran point guard who has played in this league for almost ten years, Tony Parker couldn't believe his ears when he heard a rookie player mock him so much in this game.However, the reality now is that Xu Nuo has broken his ground pass and is now dribbling towards his team's basket at high speed.

"Damn it, you don't want to score!" Tony Parker turned around and ran towards Xu Xu who had already run to the frontcourt, and within three seconds he had come from the backcourt to the frontcourt.But within these three seconds, Xu Nuo had already arrived at the basket of the San Antonio Spurs. When Tony Parker rushed to the frontcourt, Xu Nuo's body was already hanging on the basket.

At 33:33, the two teams returned to the same starting line again!

At the moment when Xu Nuo dunked, Tony Parker refrained from fouling Xu Nuo again, otherwise he would give Xu Nuo another chance to free throw.Xu Nuo fell back to the ground from the basket, and looked at Tony Parker with a sneer. Looking at the contemptuous expression on Xu Nuo's face, Tony Parker couldn't help clenching his fists.

"Don't worry, take your time, we have plenty of opportunities." Tim Duncan, who came to serve the bottom line, comforted Tony Parker in this way, lest Tony Parker lose control of his emotions and cause any unnecessary incidents.Tony Parker also knew what the big brother Tim Duncan meant by saying this, nodded and began to organize the team's offense.

Although Tim Duncan comforted Tony Parker in this way, it is unlikely that Tony Parker's emotions will completely calm down in a few minutes.For a team's point guard, a calm mind is very important.If the point guard's emotions are out of control, the offense and defense of the entire team will be greatly affected.After coming to the offensive end, Tony Parker began to break through the promised defense one-on-one.However, Xu promised to always block his body between Tony Parker and the basket, so that Tony Parker had no chance to break through the offense.

At this time, Manu Ginobili made a big circle on the court and came to the three-point line to receive the ball. Tony Parker had to pass the ball to Manu Ginobili.After receiving the ball, Manu Ginobili shot directly from outside the three-point line, and the ball passed through the net like a sharp arrow!

"Ginobili——" the on-site commentator shouted loudly, and the fans in the AT&T Arena suddenly burst into cheers like a tsunami.

"The shooting is really accurate!" Xu Nuo said to himself.

Seeing that Manu Ginobili made this long three-pointer from the outside, Indiana Pacers coach Larry Brown, who was sitting on the team's coaching bench, just straightened his body and didn't do anything. Giving any instructions, neither intended to substitute players, nor prepared to call a timeout.So, the team's chief assistant coach Brian Shaw, who was sitting next to Coach Larry Brown, said to Coach Larry Brown: "Larry, maybe we should make some personnel adjustments. It's been long enough to get them back on the pitch!"

However, Coach Larry Brown just nodded and still did not give any instructions.

Promise was once again one-on-one with Tony Parker on offense after Manu Ginobili hit that long [-]-pointer from the perimeter.Roy Hibbert continued to screen for Rudy Fernandez, but San Antonio Spurs small forward Stephen Jackson, who was guarding Rudy Fernandez, followed closely, and Rudy Fernandez never had a chance to catch the ball.So Xu Nuo suddenly jumped up in front of Tony Parker and raised the ball high above his head.

"It's a dry three-pointer!" Paul George shouted.

Tony Parker reacted and jumped up to block Xu's shot, but his right hand hit Xu Nuo's wrist.At this moment, Xu Nuo threw the ball in his hand.Accompanied by the whistle of the on-duty referee Jason Phillips, the ball rolled rapidly in the air and "swiped" into the net hollowly.

"Beautiful!" The bench of the Indiana Pacers was boiling, and Xu Nuo couldn't help but roared with fists.Standing beside Xu Nuo, Tony Parker had his hands on his hips, with a helpless expression on his face.

"It seems that Tony Parker is at a disadvantage in the personal duel between these two point guards!" the on-site commentator sighed.

San Antonio Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich, livid, stood up and called for a timeout.
