super point guard

Chapter 108 The Ripe Melon

"Danny, why did you go against my tactical arrangement just now?" On the bench of the Indiana Pacers, coach Larry Brown stared at Danny Granger with a livid face, and shouted questioned.

Danny Granger bowed his head in silence, not daring to look into Coach Larry Brown's stern eyes.

"David West should have stepped forward to set you a pick-and-roll, but you shot it directly!" Coach Larry Brown continued to shout at Danny Granger, "Fortunately, that shot Ball promises to make up for the ball, if the goal is not scored, tonight's game will become very difficult!"

"I know I was wrong, coach." Danny Granger said.

But Coach Larry Brown still took a hard look at Danny Granger, turned his head and pointed to Paul George on the bench.

"Paul George, you replace Danny!" Coach Larry Brown said to Paul George.

"Coach..." Danny Granger was about to say something, but Coach Larry Brown glanced at Danny Granger angrily, and Danny Granger immediately put the words on his lips again Swallowed it back.Danny Granger sat down on the bench in dejection, covering his head with a towel in frustration.

Xu Nuo looked at Danny Granger and once again felt the strictness of coach Larry Brown's military management. Even the team's boss, Danny Granger, was punished by Larry Brown for making mistakes. When the coach is replaced, I am even less afraid to make mistakes on the court.

At this time, the buzzer in the Madison Square Garden rang, and the timeout time was up.

Since the Indiana Pacers lacked Danny Granger, the team didn't do as much to defend "Melo" Carmelo Anthony as before.On the first offense after coming back from the timeout, the New York Knicks handed the ball to "Little Melon" Anthony. After receiving the ball, "Little Melon" Anthony just wobbled a little and directly broke through Paul George. Paul George's defense was also considered good, and his footsteps followed closely. Sudden emergency stop for a fallback jumper, the ball "swipes" into the net hollowly!

"As expected of Cameron!" The number one fan of the New York Knicks sitting on the sidelines, the big director Spike Lee stood up from his seat, and shouted loudly at "Little Melon" Anthony on the court.

"It's that old Spike Lee again!" Xu Nuo said to himself with dissatisfaction.

But in any case, the mid-range jumper made by "Little Melon" Anthony is indeed very critical. The New York Knicks relied on "Little Melon" Anthony's mid-range shot to expand the point difference again, slightly Stabilized the situation on the following field.For the current New York Knicks, defense is the most important thing, because the game will end in about 3 minutes.

And because the team lacked Danny Granger, the team's top scorer, he promised to hand the ball to David West inside after dribbling the ball to the frontcourt.David West holds the ball in the low post with New York Knicks power forward Amare Stoudemire on a single with his back.At this moment, center Roy Hibbert suddenly appeared under the basket. David West had quicker eyes and faster hands. Roy Hibbert's man followed the ball. Roy Hibbert Te comfortably catches the ball and dunks.

"Offensive, keep attacking!" New York Knicks coach Mike D'Antoni shouted at his disciples from the sidelines, "We must suppress the opponent on offense!"

Although the Indiana Pacers are still lagging behind at this time, the head coach Larry Brown has a calm expression, which is in sharp contrast to the anxious Mike D'Antoni.Seeing the calm expression on Coach Larry Brown's face, Xu Nuo began to firmly believe that the team will definitely win this game!

At this time, the point guard of the New York Knicks was once again replaced by "Big Beard" Baron Davis, but Baron Davis did not attack by himself, but handed the ball to "Little Melon" Anthony, it seems that the New York Knicks will be determined to play "Melo" Anthony in the last few minutes. "Melon" Anthony bent over to hold the ball near a 45-degree angle on the left side of the court. At this time, Amare Stoudemire went around the edge of the penalty area and rushed to the basket. Anthony immediately passed the ball to Stade. meyer.

When Stoudemire received the ball, he made no extra adjustments at all, and scored a layup directly, and at the same time caused David West's defensive foul.

"Did I foul?" David West asked the referee with a puzzled look when the referee blew the whistle in his mouth.

But the referee on duty made a gesture resolutely, indicating that David West was fouled by a thug. David West lowered his head and had nothing to say.But David West has only fouled four times now, so David West can still stay on the court.Stoudemire went over to give Anthony a hug, thanked Anthony for the assist, and then walked to the free throw line to hand the ball down. The New York Knicks led by four points 109:105.

Courtside Larry Brown looked up at the remaining time of the game and called for a timeout. "New York's offense in the recent period has been driven by Carmelo Anthony, so we must guard against Carmelo Anthony!" During the timeout, coach Larry Brown said, " DeMar (DeRozan), you need to help Paul George guard Carmelo Anthony."

"Yes!" DeMar DeRozan nodded.

"Coach, please let me play!" Danny Granger once again begged Coach Larry Brown.

But Coach Larry Brown just glanced at Danny Granger and didn't answer Danny Granger's words.Therefore, when the game restarted, Danny Granger still did not appear on the court. Xu promised that Coach Larry Brown would not let Danny Granger play again in this game.

Danny Granger saw that Coach Larry Brown still refused to let himself play, so he had to go back to the bench again in frustration.Now that the game has reached the most critical moment, but he can't play to help the team, the pain in Danny Granger's heart can be imagined at this time.

After returning to the court, the Indiana Pacers' offense made a mistake. "Melo" Anthony successfully intercepted David West and then handed the ball to Baron Davis.When Baron Davis got the ball, the fans in Madison Square Garden stood up. They knew that as long as Baron Davis successfully put the ball into the basket, the game would be over. The victory of the game is theirs.

But they forgot the promise that they were following Baron Davis closely. The promise knew that Baron Davis liked to use super exaggerated behind-the-back dribbles in the fast break, and he was waiting for Baron Davis. Davis hits that exaggerated behind-the-back dribble...

Sure enough, after dribbling for half court, Baron Davis made that super-exaggerated behind-the-back dribble.And at the moment when Baron Davis changed the ball from his back from his right hand to his left hand, Xu Nuo quickly snapped the ball from Baron Davis' hands!

Immediately, the players on the bench of the Indiana Pacers all stood up, looking nervously at Xu Nuo's steal and immediately turned around and rushed into the paint area of ​​the New York Knicks.Baron Davis, who was intercepted, didn't have time to return to the defense, and could only watch helplessly as Xu Nuo broke into his team's inside lane and scored a layup.

"It's beautiful!" All the Indiana Pacers' substitute players jumped up excitedly. Now they are only two points behind the opponent Knicks, and there are about 2 minutes left in the game. It is not impossible for them to win this game victorious.

But then, "Little Melon" Anthony's breakthrough layup cast a shadow over the hearts of every Indiana Pacers player.Coach Larry Brown had no choice but to request a timeout again.

"Coach, please let me play! I will definitely be the Terminator that the team needs!" Danny Granger once again begged Coach Larry Brown.

But Coach Larry Brown still ignored Danny Granger, picked up the tactical board and began to explain tactics to the players.

In coach Larry Brown's tactics, promise is a very critical point, because coach Larry Brown hopes that promise can use the pass to penetrate the New York Knicks' defense and assist his teammates to score.But promise to know, at the critical moment of the game, where will the opponent give you the opportunity to pass the ball easily?Thinking of this, Xu Nuo couldn't help frowning.

"It doesn't matter, you can do it!" David West said to promise with a smile.

Coach Larry Brown hoped the promise would set up David West to score at the rim, but when they got back on the court, the Indiana Pacers tied the game with two counter-attacks.However, in these two fast breaks, Xu Nuo passed the ball to assist his teammates to score, so Xu Nuo increased his assist data in this game to ten times.

With DeMar DeRozan scoring a layup to tie the game at 111-111, Knicks head coach Mike D'Antoni had to call a timeout to set up the team's final play.

"New York must give the ball to Carmelo Anthony!" Coach Larry Brown shouted at the promises during the timeout, "Paul George, you come to defend Carmelo, DeMar, you want Pay attention to the help defense! Other players have to do their jobs and defend the players who are on their own. Now we have no timeouts. If Carmelo Anthony scores this goal, we will start a fast attack and try to get back Two points!"

Xu Nuo noticed that this time Danny Granger did not ask Coach Larry Brown to play again.Promise was also replaced by George Hill when the timeout came.Xu Nuo knew that Coach Larry Brown did this to ensure the team's defense. After all, George Hill's defense was much more stable than his own, so Xu Nuo could only stand under the court and watch his teammates on the court make the last effort .

After the timeout, the New York Knicks really handed the ball to "Little Melon" Anthony, and "Little Melon" Anthony waited until there were only eight seconds left in the attack time before starting the breakthrough.When Anthony activated, DeMar DeRozan immediately stepped forward to help defend, but "overripe melon" Carmelo Anthony was still under the defense of Paul George and DeMar DeRozan A breakthrough shot was made.

"The victory is ours!" Spike Lee yelled loudly from the sidelines.

With David West's missed shot at the last moment, the Indiana Pacers finally lost the game 111:113, and the momentum of the four-game winning streak came to an abrupt end.Xu Nuo stared blankly at Spike Lee celebrating wildly with Carmelo Anthony, a strong sense of loss welled up in his heart.Promised to get a double-double of [-] points and [-] assists tonight, but failed to help the team win.But behind Xu Nuo, Danny Granger's eyes were even more stern.
