Chapter 117 Eagle King Johnson

The Indiana Pacers' road game against the Atlanta Hawks continues, and so does the promised madness.It's just that Xu Nuo changed his crazy performance from non-stop scoring to continuous passing and assists, which is obviously more lethal to opponents than non-stop scoring.

Although the Indiana Pacers relied on the promised passing organization to score consecutively, they continued to maintain the team's lead over the Atlanta Hawks.But what all the Indiana Pacers players didn't expect was that the team leader of the Atlanta Hawks, the "Eagle King" Joe Johnson, would suddenly explode!

In fact, the other players of the Atlanta Hawks did not expect that their leader would suddenly break out, perhaps even Joe Johnson himself did not expect it.

Joe Johnson's outbreak also started with a pass.

When Joe Johnson holds the ball outside the three-point line and faces DeMar DeRozan's defense, DeMar DeRozan has been guarding against Joe Johnson's outside three-pointer.But DeMar DeRozan did not expect that Joe Johnson suddenly threw the ball towards the basket.

"It doesn't look like he's going to shoot," DeMar DeRozan thought to himself at this point, "Could it be..."

Thinking of this, DeMar DeRozan turned around quickly, watching the ball slowly fall towards the basket, and then a black player wearing a white Atlanta Hawks jersey rose up from the basket, received a catch and rolled in the air. the ball.

It's Al Horford!Another alley-oop dunk!The fans in the stands in the Phillips Arena all stood up, and they were all waiting for the birth of this alley-oop dunk.

Sure enough, Al Horford jumped high, caught the ball and slammed it into the hoop!Suddenly, there were bursts of cheers in the Phillips Arena.

"It's Al Horford's dunk! An assist from Joe Johnson!" Jeff Van Gundy yelled at the scene, "Atlanta can finally stage a performance like an alley-oop dunk again, and I hope the Atlanta Hawks will use this as an example Opportunity, blow the horn of counterattack!"

Jeff Van Gundy did not expect that the words he said unintentionally really explained the progress of the next game.

After Al Horford received an assist for a dunk from Joe Johnson, and on the other end of the court, Danny Granger also received a promised ground-up pass for a layup in an air cut, the Indiana Pacers continued to win. 73:67 lead by six points over the Atlanta Hawks.But then, Joe Johnson hit a long three-pointer from beyond the three-point line, and the Atlanta Hawks' bench immediately boiled.

"It's only three points away, Joe, keep going!" Atlanta Hawks backup forward Marvin Williams shouted from the bench.

And when the Indiana Pacers began to attack, the fans in Phillips Arena stood up again and made a great noise to interfere with the Indiana Pacers' offense.

"Give me that damn ball!" Danny Granger yelled at the promise.

Xu Nuo had to hand the ball to Danny Granger, and he ran outside the three-point line, taking his defender away from Danny Granger, so that Danny Granger had space to play singles with the ball Josh Smith.

However, when Danny Granger faced Josh Smith, he just shook a little and shot directly. As a result, the ball hit the basket and bounced.

"Rebound!" Immediately four players, Al Horford, Roy Hibbert, Zaza Pachulia and David West entangled together, Al Horford jumped high, Grab this backcourt rebound.

"Get back to defense!" Coach Larry Brown shouted at his disciples on the field.

But at the same time that Al Horford grabbed the rebound, Xu Nuo had already started to return to defense. Jeff Teague passed the ball in front of Xu Nuo, and the ball accurately came to Joe Johnson outside the three-point line. hand.

"Oops!" Xu Nuo shouted in his heart, and Xu Nuo immediately turned around to defend Joe Johnson, but Joe Johnson had already shot from outside the three-point line before Xu Nuo pounced, and Xu Nuo immediately came to the basket to grab rebound.

But Joe Johnson's shot went straight into the net, 73:73, and the Atlanta Hawks once again tied the score.Coach Larry Brown had no choice but to get up and request a timeout.While walking toward the team's bench, Joe Johnson jumped up and collided with Jeff Teague who passed the ball for himself.

"Our defensive ability is not a problem at all, but the key to the problem is whether we are willing to defend!" Coach Larry Brown yelled at his players, "If you don't want to try to defend at all If you don't, it doesn't matter if you're the best defensive player in the league!"

Promise knows that Coach Larry Brown is referring to the fact that the team failed to guard Joe Johnson so that Joe Johnson scored consecutive shots to tie the score for the Atlanta Hawks, but Joe Johnson was not Promised to be in charge of defense, he was in charge of defending Joe Johnson It was DeMar DeRozan, so Coach Larry Brown looked at DeMar DeRozan.

"Dantai Jones, you replace DeMar!" Coach Larry Brown yelled, "We must strengthen our defense against Joe Johnson!"

After speaking, Coach Larry Brown looked at Xu Nuo again.

"Promise, in the next game, you have to pay attention to defending Joe Johnson!" Coach Larry Brown said.

Xu Nuo was startled when he heard Coach Larry Brown calling his name, but he quickly calmed down, "I see, coach!" Xu Nuo said.

"Very good, let's play!" Coach Larry Brown nodded and said.

After returning from the timeout, the Atlanta Hawks also made substitution adjustments, replacing Jeff Teague with backup point guard Kirk Hinrich.Seeing Kirk Hinrich appear again, Xu Nuo couldn't help frowning.

"It's that tough guy again!" Xu Nuo said to himself.

"Hey, man, who are you talking about?" David West promised with a smile.

"Kirk Hinrich," Promise said, "he's a lot tougher than Jeff Teague."

"Are you still afraid of Kirk Hinrich?" David West asked.

"I'm afraid of him?" Xu Nuo curled his lips in disdain, "I'm afraid there is no basketball player in this world who makes me feel afraid."

David West smiled and patted Xu Nuo on the shoulder.

However, although Xu Nuo said that Kirk Hinrich was very difficult to deal with, but soon after returning to the game, Xu Nuo scored under Kirk Hinrich's defense.

After the restart, neither the Indiana Pacers nor the Atlanta Hawks were able to play offensively. After Josh Smith missed a field goal, David West grabbed the backcourt rebound and sent a long pass to the A promise to run wildly upfield.When Xu Nuo received the ball, Kirk Hinrich blocked between Xu Nuo and the basket in a timely manner, but Xu Nuo used a sudden acceleration and change of direction while traveling to easily pass Kirk Hinrich.At this time, there were no defensive players in front of Xu Nuo, and Xu Nuo easily scored a layup.

"Nice breakthrough, buddy!" David West smiled and said to Xu Xu, "Now your score has reached 26 points, which is already the highest in the team."

"My score is the highest in the team?" Although Xu Nuo was still returning to defense, this did not prevent him from asking questions.

"Of course," David West said with a smile, "if you don't believe it, you can go and see the technical statistics of the game after the game."

While Xu Nuo was talking with David West, the Atlanta Hawks launched an offense again, and the ball once again came to Joe Johnson's hands, and Xu Nuo immediately stepped forward to help defend Joe Johnson.

At this moment, Al Horford mentioned that the high position was a cover for Joe Johnson, so Joe Johnson used Al Horford's cover to sneak through the gap between Dengtai Jones and Xu Nuo.Xu Nuo immediately turned around to defend Joe Johnson, but bumped into Al Horford's body, and there was a burst of laughter immediately.

But Xu Nuo didn't pay attention to the ridicule of those fans at this time. He was most concerned about whether Joe Johnson scored or not.When Al Horford ran away from Xu Nuo, Xu Nuo saw that Joe Johnson had slashed into his team's paint area, facing center Roy Hibbert's defense and taking off for a layup.

"Roy, cover his cap!" Xu Nuo shouted.

But Roy Hibbert failed to block Joe Johnson. Instead, Joe Johnson scored a throw over Roy Hibbert's head and caused Roy Hibbert's defensive foul.When the referee blew the whistle in his mouth to signal Roy Hibbert's defensive foul, Joe Johnson began to roar on the court, and Phillips Arena was boiling again.

"I want you guys to know that Atlanta has me, 'Eagle King' Johnson, and you can't take a victory from here!" Joe Johnson yelled at the Indiana Pacers players.

"That guy is really arrogant." David West said behind Xu Nuo.

"But soon he won't be able to be so arrogant." Xu Nuo looked at Joe Johnson and said coldly.

"Oh, is it?" David West asked.

But Xu Nuo didn't answer David West's words again, but continued to look at Joe Johnson coldly.Joe Johnson stepped to the free-throw line, dribbled the ball to the cheers of fans in Phillips Arena, and hit a 75-pointer. At 76:[-], the Indiana Pacers were one point behind the Atlanta Hawks.
