super point guard

Chapter 111 The Eagle is Ferocious
Before the start of the game against the Atlanta Hawks, Xu Nuo finally flew from Los Angeles to Atlanta to meet up with his teammates and prepare for the next game together.However, no matter how his teammates asked Xu Nuo, Xu Nuo has always refused to say what he did in Los Angeles.Seeing that Xu Nuo insisted on keeping silent, Danny Granger and the others had no choice but to stop asking, after all, they had more important things to do.

The game between the Indiana Pacers and the Atlanta Hawks started at [-]:[-] p.m., and with the whistle of the referee on duty, the ball was thrown into the air.Atlanta Hawks center Al Horford overwhelmed their committed center Roy Hibbert for the opening jump ball.Xu Nuo bent down and faced his opponent tonight.

Promise tonight's opponent is also a young man, Jeff Teague.Before this game, Xu Nuo didn't even know that there was a man like Jeff Teague in the league.Of course, this can't be blamed on promises. Most NBA fans know the name Jeff Teague, or in the playoffs of last season.

Jeff Teague was sacked in last season's playoffs between the Atlanta Hawks and the Chicago Bulls after the team's starting point guard Kirk Hinrich missed the game with a knee injury. On to the starting lineup.However, in that round of the playoffs, Jeff Teague averaged 11.8 points and 3.5 assists per game against the Chicago Bulls' head guard Derrick Rose, and proved his outstanding performance with his excellent performance. Own.In this season, Jeff Teague has completely squeezed Kirk Hinrich back from injury to the bench, officially becoming the starting point guard for the Atlanta Hawks.

Jeff Teague saw that Xu Nuo was bending over to defend in front of him, and couldn't help being secretly happy: It's finally time for him to bully the rookie player!So Jeff Teague ignored the team boss Joe Johnson who was reaching out for the ball from beyond the three-point line, but prepared to break through his promise one-on-one.

"It seems that this kid is going to break through his defense one-on-one!" Xu Nuo thought in his heart seeing that Jeff Teague never passed the ball, but kept dribbling the ball slowly by himself.

Xu Nuo was thinking like this, Jeff Teague suddenly accelerated the speed of dribbling.

"Here we come!" Xu Nuo said in his heart.

Sure enough, Jeff Teague suddenly leaned forward with his upper body after speeding up his dribble. It was obvious that Jeff Teague was about to break through next.So Xu Nuo immediately pressed his body tightly against Jeff Teague, preventing his opponent from breaking through his defense easily.Although Xu Nuo is about the same height as Jeff Teague, compared with Jeff Teague, Xu Nuo still has a slight disadvantage in physical confrontation.Jeff Teague blocked Promise with his body and dribbled toward the basket.

"Stop his drive!" Danny Granger yelled across the court as he, along with DeMar DeRozan, formed a shut-down defense at the free throw line to block Jeff Teague Continue to break through the line.But Jeff Teague had quick eyes and quick hands, and passed the ball in his hand to the outside of the three-point line.

"Not good!" Xu Nuo shouted, immediately gave up defending Jeff Teague, and rushed towards the direction where the ball was flying.In the direction of the ball's flight, Joe Johnson is standing outside the three-point line waiting to receive the ball.

"We must steal this pass!" Xu Nuo thought while rushing towards the flying ball with all his strength.

But the promise was a little bit late. Joe Johnson received the ball, jumped up from beyond the three-point line, and then shot directly.Xu Nuo was worried that he would be called a foul, so he didn't rush forward to interfere with Joe Johnson's shooting.The ball slid out from Joe Johnson's fingertips, drew a beautiful arc in the air, and "swiped" into the net!

"Joe made the first shot of the game!" said Jeff Van Gundy, who was on the spot as a commentator. Blocking Joe Johnson's [-]-pointer!"

But Indiana Pacers head coach Larry Brown didn't mean to blame Xu Nuo, and Danny Granger also patted Xu Nuo on the back on the field.

"It's not your fault for conceding the ball this time," Danny Granger said to a slightly frustrated promise, "Get the ball and get ready to attack!"

After Xu Nuo dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, as usual, he habitually handed the ball to Danny Granger who landed at a 45-degree angle outside the three-point line.The Atlanta Hawks are responsible for defending Danny Granger is Josh Smith, a well-known spring man in the league. Danny Granger knows that Josh Smith likes to jump up and block opponents' shots, and he has excellent physical fitness , So Danny Granger raised his hand to make a fake shot, with only a slight touch, Josh Smith flew up immediately.

After Josh Smith jumped up, there was a small space in front of Danny Granger, and Danny Granger immediately dribbled the ball into the Atlanta Hawks paint.Al Horford immediately moved laterally to block Danny Granger's breakthrough, but Danny Granger gently threw the ball out of his hand against Al Horford's defense.

"It's a small throw!" Xu Nuo said in his heart.

Al Horford jumps high to block Danny Granger's shot from the air, but the ball just goes past Al Horford's fingertips, hits the backboard and bounces into the hoop!

"Beautiful!" Xu Nuo heard a burst of cheers from his team's bench.

Danny Granger glanced at Al Horford with a smile before turning back to defend.The Atlanta Hawks once again handed the ball to Joe Johnson in the next offense, but Joe Johnson handed the ball to Al Horford inside.

Xu Nuo looked at Al Horford holding the ball near the edge of the penalty area and leaning against Roy Hibbert. At this moment, Xu Nuo suddenly felt a black shadow passing by the edge of his field of vision. Immediately afterwards, Xu Nuo recognized That shadow was Jeff Teague who was defended by himself.

It turned out that Jeff Teague took advantage of Xu Nuo's slack defense at that moment and got rid of Xu Nuo's defense, "Damn it!" Xu Nuo cursed in his heart, and then rushed towards Jeff Teague. He knew Al · Horford will definitely hand the ball to Jeff Teague.

Sure enough, at the same time that Jeff Teague came near the bottom corner of the three-point line, Al Horford's pass also came to Jeff Teague in due course.When Xu Nuo rushed to Jeff Teague, Jeff Teague had already taken off from outside the three-point line and shot.

With a "swipe", the ball went into the net again, and the fans in Phillips Arena, the home stadium of the Atlanta Hawks, cheered again.

Xu Nuo looked at Jeff Teague who returned to the defense with a smile on his face, and shook his head in frustration.

"Promise, don't always be distracted on the court, concentrate all your attention!" Coach Larry Brown stood on the side of the court and shouted at Promise.

Xu Nuo nodded silently.

"Did you use up all your energy last night?" Danny Granger ran to Xu Xu's side and asked Xu Xu.

Xu Nuo gave a small wry smile, and spread his hands noncommittally.

Although Xu Nuo was somewhat inattentive on defense, he still made his own contribution to the team on offense.When Xu Nuo dribbled the ball to the top of the three-point line, David West mentioned the high position to do a pick-and-roll for Xu Nuo, and Xu Nuo immediately took the opportunity to get rid of Jeff Teague's defense and kill the Atlanta Hawks paint area.But Jeff Teague squeezed through the gap between the bodies of David West and Xu Nuo, and stood in front of Xu Nuo again.

"Pass back!" This was the first thought that popped up in Xu Nuo's mind, so Xu Nuo still looked at Jeff Teague in front of him, but at the same time passed the ball to David Wei who was still outside the penalty area. ster.

"Good chance!" Danny Granger shouted.

And David West shot directly after receiving the ball, and the ball hit the basket steadily.

"Until now, the offensive efficiency of the two teams on the court is very high, and the shooting percentage of the two teams is still maintained at [-]%!" Jeff Van Gundy, who served as a commentator at the scene, said, "From the beginning of the game , and the two teams began to attack each other.”

Off the court, Jeff Van Gundy was talking, and on the court, the Atlanta Hawks had once again played offensively.Joe Johnson assisted Josh Smith for an alley-oop dunk, and the Atlanta Hawks, who had been in good form from the start of the game, took a four-point home lead over the Indiana Pacers 8-4.

Indiana Pacers head coach Larry Brown could no longer tolerate the loose defense of his players and immediately got up and requested a timeout.Xu Nuo lowered his head and walked towards the team's bench beside the court. Xu Nuo knew in his heart that out of the eight points lost by the team, six of them were related to him.When Xu Nuo raised his head, he saw Coach Larry Brown's stern eyes.

"Perhaps at this time, Coach Brown will regret agreeing to his request to go to Los Angeles." Xu Nuo thought in his heart. At this time, Xu Nuo also had a question in his heart: Is my energy really the lingering last night? Did you run out of them?No one can give him an answer to this question except promise himself.
