super point guard

Chapter 115
Perhaps Xu Nuo should be thankful that he didn't play in the first few minutes of the second quarter, otherwise, Xu Nuo would probably join the ranks of players who made consecutive mistakes.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Indiana Pacers, who were the first to attack, made a mistake. Tyler Hansbrough actually dribbled the ball to his instep while dribbling, and the ball bounced off the court.Coach Larry Brown, who saw this scene, couldn't help standing up, "Control your mistakes!" Coach Larry Brown shouted loudly from the side of the court.

But Coach Larry Brown hadn't finished speaking. The Atlanta Hawks also "contributed" a turnover on the court. The team's veteran Jerry Stackhouse suddenly slipped under his feet while dribbling, and the ball was in the middle of the field. Jerry Stackhouse comes out when he slips and falls.Deng Tai Jones, who was defending Jerry Stackhouse, immediately picked up the ball. At this time, Paul George had already quickly ran forward. Deng Tai Jones immediately threw the ball in his hand toward the front court. .

Just when he promised that Paul George would definitely be able to receive a long pass from Dengtai Jones for a layup, Dengtai Jones' strong pass flew out of the court directly, and Paul George didn't even have the skin of the ball can touch.After another turnover, Xu Nuo glanced at coach Larry Brown, who was standing courtside, and Coach Larry Brown didn't seem agitated by the team's streak of turnovers.

But Coach Brian Shaw, the team's chief assistant coach, approached Coach Larry Brown and whispered to Coach Larry Brown, "Hey, Larry, we can't go on like this."

Coach Larry Brown frowned after hearing this.

"We must reduce turnovers!" Coach Brian Shaw said, "Mistakes hurt us a lot, and it may be difficult for us to score because of consecutive turnovers!"

Coach Larry Brown nodded gravely.

At this time, Danny Granger, who was sitting next to Xu Nuo, turned his head and said to Xu Nuo in a low voice: "I bet the Atlanta Hawks will still make mistakes!"

"Why are you so sure?" Xu Nuo asked.

Danny Granger did not directly answer Xu Nuo's question, but smiled and said to Xu Nuo: "Just wait and see, they will definitely make mistakes."

Xu Nuo curled his lips and continued to watch the game.However, Atlanta Hawks power forward Vladimir Radmanovic did not receive the ball passed to him by his teammate at this time. The ball slipped through his fingertips and flew out of the baseline.Vladimir Radmanovich punched his palm in frustration and turned back to defend.

"Hey, I'm right, buddy?" Danny Granger promised with a smile.

"Maybe I should be glad that I didn't appear on the court at this time." Xu Nuo said.

"What did you say?" Danny Granger asked.

"I said I should be glad that I didn't play at this time!" Xu Nuo said loudly, "I think if I play, I'm afraid I will make continuous mistakes like the players on the court!"

Danny Granger shrugged. "Not necessarily, man," he said.

Due to the continuous mistakes of the two teams, the first score was not scored until almost 2 minutes into the second quarter.Tyler Hansbrough hit a mid-range jumper to give the Indiana Pacers the lead over the Atlanta Hawks.But then, veteran Jerry Stackhouse made a three-pointer from the outside to help the Atlanta Hawks lead the score again.

But since then, the Atlanta Hawks missed three consecutive offenses. The Indiana Pacers took this opportunity to expand the point difference 32:26. Atlanta Hawks coach Larry Drew had to request a timeout.

"We made too many mistakes!" Coach Larry Brown shouted at the players.

The players sat in chairs and listened to Coach Larry Brown's reprimand.

"Our defense on the perimeter is not good," said Coach Larry Brown. "Dantai Jones, you should strengthen your defense against Jerry Stackhouse. Just now Jerry broke through our perimeter defense several times in a row. Get in the paint. And you're younger and fresher than Jerry, and you should guard that old Jerry Stackhouse!"

Duntay Jones nodded silently.

Then Coach Larry Brown looked at George Hill, who was playing point guard on the court at this time.

"Our outside offense is not good on the court now, so we should focus our offense on the inside!" Coach Larry Brown said to George Hill, "Next you have to pass the ball inside more and hand the ball to the inside. For Tyler!"

"I see, coach!" George Hill nodded.

Then Coach Larry Brown looked to center Roy Hibbert on the bench.

"Roy, you replace Jeff (Foster)!" Coach Larry Brown yelled.

Roy Hibbert immediately took off his sports jacket and ran to the scorer's table to get ready to play.

Xu Nuo turned to look at Danny Granger, "Will Coach Brown still let you play?" Xu Nuo asked.

"It should wait until halfway through the second quarter before the coach will send the main players back on the field." Danny Granger said.

And on the Atlanta Hawks bench, head coach Larry Drew was yelling at his players, laying out what he wrote on a small card about their players' problems during the game Show it to the players.

"We seem to have completely lost the feeling of the game in the first quarter. We really made too many turnovers!" Coach Larry Drew said loudly, "Too many turnovers made our offensive efficiency worse. Terrible, Vladimir, Janero (Pago), you two have the worst efficiency in the team!"

Vladimir Radmanovich and backup point guard Janero Pargo both bowed their heads, listening in silence to Coach Larry Drew's scolding.

After the timeout this time, the three main players of the Atlanta Hawks all returned to the court. The appearance of the three main players of Joe Johnson, Josh Smith and Jeff Teague immediately ignited the fire in the Phillips Arena. passion of the fans.

"Atalanta changed their three main players back to the court, obviously dissatisfied with the performance of their substitute players." Jeff Van Gundy said while sitting on the sidelines of the court, "To be honest, this game The second stanza reminds me of a word."

"What's the word?" Jeff Van Gundy's casting partner asked.

"Fubar," said Jeff Van Gundy, "meaning bullshit."

"Oh..." sighed Jeff Van Gundy's casting partner.

"With the state of Atlanta at this time, if they can win this game, then I will buy a bottle of champagne and pour it on your partners!" Jeff Van Gundy said.

"Maybe they can get back to the offensive feeling they had at the beginning of the first quarter." Jeff Van Gundy's commentary partner said, "After all, they once again replaced their three main players."

"The devil knows whether these three players will play normally after returning to the court, or will they make continuous turnovers and low offensive efficiency like other players." Jeff Van Gundy said.

"The continuous mistakes of the players may show from another angle that the defense of the two teams on the court is very good." Van Gundy's commentary partner said.

"You know I was very defensive when I was coaching, man," Jeff Van Gundy said. "A good defensive team will only force turnovers, and you will never follow the turnovers. Anyway, This game is really shit!"

The rest of the second quarter proved Jeff Van Gundy's words. The rest of the second quarter was still full of turnovers and fouls. That offensive feeling in a quarter.However, after the Atlanta Hawks played three main players including Joe Johnson, their offensive efficiency improved slightly. A series of points forced the Indiana Pacers to also replace two main players, Danny Granger and David West. .In addition, Xu Nuo was back on the court again with just over five minutes left in the second quarter.

Previously, Xu Nuo had been worried that he would make continuous mistakes like his teammates after returning to the court, but in fact Xu Nuo was one of the few players on the court who could perform normally, so coach Larry Brown asked His own players create more chances for promises.Under such circumstances, Xu Xu's score began to climb rapidly.After promising an outside 41-pointer, he had 37 points in the first half and the Indiana Pacers led the Atlanta Hawks by four with [-]:[-] to go.

"It's really hard for the Atlanta Hawks to win this game if it goes on like this." Jeff Van Gundy asserted at the end of the first half.

Relying on the promised excellent performance in the second half of the second quarter, the Indiana Pacers turned away from the away game, leading the Atlanta Hawks with a score of 45:41 and entering the intermission.When walking towards the team's locker room, the players of the home team Atlanta Hawks looked dignified, and their head coach Larry Drew also frowned.After experiencing such a bad first half, the fans watching the game have given up hope that they will stage a Jedi counterattack in the second half. At this time, the fans just hope that they will not lose too badly. .
