super point guard

Chapter 116

In the second quarter of the game, under the collective downturn of his teammates, Xu promised to score nine points alone, helping the team to maintain the lead over the opponent Atlanta Hawks at the end of the first half. Such promised self-confidence At the same time, he promised and hoped that he could continue such a good performance in the second half of the game.At the start of the second half, Indiana Pacers head coach Larry Brown also gave Promise enough shots.

"Promise, the team led Atlanta in the first half, and you are the biggest contributor!" Coach Larry Brown said to Xu Nuo before the start of the second half, "So I hope you can continue your outstanding performance in the second half. When your teammates are in a downturn, you should stand up and carry the team on your shoulders!"

"I see, Coach Brown!" Xu Nuo said firmly.

"I'm going to create more chances for you in the second half," coach Larry Brown continued. "When the opportunity comes up, you have to put the damn ball in the damn basket!"

"Don't worry, Coach Brown," Xu Nuo said with a slight smile on his lips, "I feel so hot right now!"

Xu Nuo said this to Coach Larry Brown, of course it was not just casually. It proved that what I said was really not just casual talk.

The Indiana Pacers handed the ball to David West in the paint on the first possession of the second half when the Atlanta Hawks guarding David West was played by Zaza Pachulia Replaced by Al Horford.When David West started holding the ball with his back to Al Horford, the rest of the Indiana Pacers spaced out and allowed David West to single Al Horford.

But when David West just started dribbling on Al Horford, Hawks point guard Jeff Teague ran over and started helping David West.Seeing Jeff Teague running away from him, Xu Nuo immediately raised his arm to David West.

So, when Jeff Teague helped defend David West, David West threw the ball from the inside and Xu Nuo reached out to catch the ball.

"Hurry up and make up the defense!" Atlanta Hawks coach Larry Drew yelled, pointing at Xu Nuo.

So Joe Johnson immediately rushed towards Xu Nuo. Facing the pounced on Joe Johnson, Xu Nuo didn't shoot directly, but paused, made a fake shot that shook Joe Johnson, and then moved towards The basket takes a dribble and then raises his hand to shoot.

Xu Nuo didn't know that when Xu Nuo shot, coach Larry Brown, sitting on the Indiana Pacers' bench, was watching his shot intently.Xu Nuo glanced at the basket not far away, and then made a quick shot.

"Rebound!" The Atlanta Hawks immediately fought under the basket.

Xu Nuo smiled. He watched the ball draw an almost perfect arc in the air, and then "swipe" into the net!

"Another shot from Promise! Promise scored the first point in the second half!" said Jeff Van Gundy, who was doing live commentary at the Phillips Arena. "Now Promise's touch is really hot!"

Hearing what Jeff Van Gundy said, Xu Nuo and coach Larry Brown on the sidelines smiled almost at the same time.

But the promised scoring show wasn't over yet.

After Joe Johnson hit an outside [-]-pointer, Promise scored again on the following drive.Facing Jeff Teague in front of him, Xu Nuo used a cross-step breakthrough to easily pass Jeff Teague, and went directly into the paint area of ​​the Atlanta Hawks. Al Horford and Zaza Pachulia immediately stood in the way of the promised breakthrough.

"Pass!" Danny Granger yelled from beyond the arc.

However, Xu Nuo did not choose to pass the ball, but directly threw the ball in the face of two big players, Al Horford and Zaza Pachulia.Zaza Pachulia reached out to block Promise's shot, but the palm hit Promise's wrist.There was a clear and loud beating sound, and Xu Nuo immediately felt a faint pain from the beating from the wrist of his right hand.

While Zaza Pachulia's palm hit Xu Nuo's wrist, the referee on duty blew his whistle and pointed at Zaza Pachulia.

However, Xu Nuo didn't care about Zaza Pachulia's foul at this time. He raised his head and looked at the ball rolling in the air.The ball hit the backboard with a "boom" and then bounced into the basket!
"Beautiful!" Xu Nuo shouted loudly.

Danny Granger walked over with a smile and high-fived Xu Nuo, "If I had known that this goal would be scored, I would not have let you pass the ball to me." Danny Granger said with a smile.

Xu Nuo smiled lightly and didn't say anything.He gave a dejected Zaza Pachulia a disdainful look, then walked to the free throw line, landed the ball, made it, and promised a successful three-pointer.

"The game has just started in the second half, and promise has scored five points in a row," Jeff Van Gundy said. "Maybe the Atlanta Hawks should really think about how they should defend this rookie player."

When Jeff Van Gundy said this, the head coach of the Atlanta Hawks, Larry Drew, frowned and paced up and down the court.Coach Larry Drew certainly knows that Xu Nuo is just a rookie player, and this game is only the ninth regular season game of Xu Nuo's career.But it was such a rookie player with such low qualifications that turned the defense of the entire Atlanta Hawks upside down, so Coach Larry Drew was very entangled.

Seeing his opponent perform so well, Jeff Teague also began to get impatient. When he dribbled the ball to the front court, Jeff Teague began to try his own one-on-one breakthrough promise, as if he wanted to give some promises. Color look.But Promise succeeded in allowing Jeff Teague to stage a one-man pass. However, Jeff Teague was directly intercepted by Promise when he broke through.After Xu Nuo succeeded in the steal, he immediately picked up the ball and ran all the way to the frontcourt.

"I will never let you score easily!" Jeff Teague yelled, and immediately turned to chase promise.However, after Xu Nuo dribbled the ball beyond the 45-degree three-point line on one side of the court, he suddenly stopped.

"What are you doing stopping the ball there?" Although Xu Xu played well on the court, coach Larry Brown saw that Xu Nuo had an easy layup but chose to stop the ball outside the three-point line, and had to stand up and rush. With a promise, he shouted, "Hurry up and shoot, or hurry up and pass the ball!"

But despite coach Larry Brown yelling from the sidelines, Promise didn't make the first move.Jeff Teague immediately ran upfield and put his body in front of Promise.

"You can't score again!" Jeff Teague said, glaring at Promise.

"You are not the first person to say this to me." Xu Nuo said to Jeff Teague coldly.

"What did you say?" Looking at Jeff Teague's expression now, you might think that he is completely crazy at this time.

Xu Nuo didn't answer Jeff Teague's words, or he was too lazy to answer.

But the promise still made an answer, using his own actions.

Just as Jeff Teague glared at Xu Xu, trying to overwhelm Xu Xu in momentum, Xu Nuo jumped up directly in front of Jeff Teague.

"It's a pull-up jumper!" Jeff Teague shouted in his heart.

However, when Jeff Teague reacted, Xu Nuo had already jumped high in front of Jeff Teague.Jeff Teague looked at Xu Nuo who jumped up lightly in front of him, as if he didn't know how to defend for a while.

"What are you doing standing there?" Atlanta Hawks head coach Larry Drew yelled at Jeff Teague. "Go block his shot! Block him with your body!"

But just when Jeff Teague was about to make a move, Xu Nuo had already made a move in front of Teague.Jeff Teague could only watch the ball fly high over his head and head for the basket.

"Go grab the rebound!" This is what Jeff Teague could think of at this time, but Jeff Teague just turned around and before he ran to the basket, the ball had already "swiped" into the net!

"Again!" The Indiana Pacers' bench was boiling, and the third quarter had just started less than 3 minutes before Xu Nuo scored eight points in a row.Boos began to sound in the Phillips Arena, and the boos could almost drown out the frustrated Atlanta Hawks players on the court.

Coach Larry Drew really had no choice. The third quarter had just begun, and his team was already nine points behind the opponent with 44:53.Coach Larry Drew stood up and called for a timeout.While walking towards the team's bench, Danny Granger hugged Xu Nuo's shoulder excitedly, but Xu Nuo's eyes once again shot a cold look.

The timeout of the Atlanta Hawks still didn't extinguish Xu Nuo's fiery feeling. In the third quarter, Xu Nuo scored 24 points in a single quarter, and scored a new career high of 67 points in less than three quarters. .With the promised thirteen points in the third quarter, the Indiana Pacers still led the Atlanta Hawks by eight points 59:[-] at the end of the third quarter.

"Atlanta is really in trouble," Jeff Van Gundy said.
