Chapter 124

Promise was once again in the national news ahead of the Indiana Pacers' game against the Cleveland Cavaliers, but not because of Promise's romance with Ellen Page, but because of the impending promise A duel with "No. [-]" Kyrie Irving.

Since Xu Nuo defeated Kyrie Irving twice in the past three weeks and won the Eastern Week Rookie Award, the discussion about the strength of Xu Nuo and Kyrie Irving has already appeared in some news media in the United States. expand among.Some people say that Kyrie Irving is the "No. 12 pick" in the NBA draft, and it is easy to beat the promise that he was not selected until the No. [-] pick in the second round.Those who hold opposing opinions believe that Xu Nuo can beat Kyrie Irving twice to win the Rookie of the Week Award, which shows that Xu Nuo's strength can completely compete with Kyrie Irving.At a time when the two points of view are arguing evenly against each other, the Indiana Pacers-Cleveland Cavaliers game provides an excellent opportunity for this issue to end the debate and come to a conclusion.

Although the Cleveland Cavaliers have point guards like Ramon Sessions and Daniel Gibson who are fully qualified as starters, Cleveland Cavaliers coach Byron Scott still sent Kyrie to the game. · Irving serves as the team's starting point guard.When Kyrie Irving walked onto the court, Promise's eyes never left Kyrie Irving's body.

"Hey, your opponent tonight is here!" DeMar DeRozan said to Xu Nuo with a smile.

"I know," Xu Nuo said lightly, "I'll let him know soon why I beat him twice to win the Rookie of the Week award!"

"That's right, buddy!" DeMar DeRozan said and patted Xu Nuo on the shoulder.

But even though he promised himself to say that, in fact, he was still somewhat nervous.Xu Nuo knew that during this game, the discussion about who was stronger and weaker between himself and Kyrie Irving had never stopped, which somewhat put some pressure on Xu Nuo.As the time for the game drew closer, Xu Nuo couldn't help but rubbed his hands, which was his usual way of relieving tension.

"Get ready, guys!" The referee on duty shouted in the middle of the court holding the ball.

Roy Hibbert jumped to the center circle, ready to fight for the opening jump ball, and the Cleveland Cavaliers' fighting for the opening jump ball was their rookie Tristan Thompson.

The referee blew his whistle and tossed the ball into the air as Roy Hibbert beat Tristan Thompson for the opening jump ball.Xu Nuo received the ball and began to dribble forward, and Kyrie Irving immediately greeted him.

"So you're the promise of two Rookie of the Week awards," Kyrie Irving whispered.

"Yes." Xu Nuo said coldly.

"You are indeed better than me." When Kyrie Irving said this, there was a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Thank you for saying that," Xu Nuo said, his face still expressionless.

When Xu Nuo said this, Xu Nuo had already reached beyond the three-point line.Promised to hand the ball to Danny Granger, and he started cruising back and forth beyond the three-point line.The Cleveland Cavaliers player responsible for defending Danny Granger was Antawn Jamison. Jamison stared intently at Danny Granger in front of him, not daring to relax in the slightest.Danny Granger failed to find a way to attack under Jamison's defense, so he had to hand the ball to center Roy Hibbert inside.

At this time DeMar DeRozan got rid of the defense under the cover of David West, and Roy Hibbert immediately passed the ball to DeMar DeRozan.But when DeRozan received the ball, he handed the ball to Xu Nuo. It turned out that Kyrie Irving had already run to defend DeRozan.At this time, there was no one guarding Xu Nuo, and before Danny Granger could yell at him, Xu Nuo jumped up and made a move.

"Oh, Indiana gave the first chance to a rookie from China to promise." The on-site commentator in the Quicken Loans Arena, the home stadium of the Cleveland Cavaliers, said, "And it was an outside three-pointer! "

Xu Nuo watched the ball slide out from his fingertips, watched the ball roll and draw a wonderful arc in the air, and watched the ball "swipe" into the net!

"Oh!" The on-site commentator yelled, "Xu Nuo scored the first point of the game! His outside three-pointer hit! If I read correctly, Xu Nuo just used Tracy McGrady Score a pull-up jumper!"

"Hmph!" Xu Nuo said coldly in his heart after hearing this, "What McGrady's pull-up jumper, that's my own pull-up jumper!"

When Xu promised to jump up and shoot just now, although Kyrie Irving turned around in time to defend Xu Nuo, Xu Nuo ignored Kyrie Irving's existence at all.After the promised three-pointer hit, Kyrie Irving couldn't help but hammered his palm hard. It can be seen that Kyrie Irving has begun to become angry.

So in the next offense, Kyrie Irving didn't pass the ball at all, but promised himself one-on-one.But Kyrie Irving missed a pull-up jumper and David West grabbed the backcourt rebound.

"Kyrie failed to retaliate against the opponent during the offense. The next task is to defend well and prevent the opponent from scoring." The on-site commentator said this, and boos began to sound in the Quicken Loans Arena.

But the Cleveland Cavaliers also failed to stop the Indiana Pacers' offense.Promised to give the ball to David West inside, Roy Hibbert came to the outside of the three-point line to screen for Danny Granger, so Danny Granger used Roy Hibbert The screen got rid of Antawn Jamison's defense and rushed towards the basket.A well-timed pass from David West gave Danny Granger a layup on the ball.

"The defense of the Cleveland Cavaliers is so bad!" Xu Nuo couldn't help saying to himself when he saw the team easily finishing the offense.

Kyrie Irving, who was standing beside Xu Nuo, heard Xu Nuo's words, turned his head and gave Xu Nuo a hard look.Xu Nuo ran straight back to his own half to defend as if he hadn't seen Kyrie Irving.So Xu Nuo naturally didn't hear what Kyrie Irving said:

"I will definitely make you pay for your words!"

When Kyrie Irving dribbled again to face Xu Nuo, Kyrie Irving said to Xu Nuo: "It's really interesting to play against you."

Xu Nuo smiled slightly after hearing this, "I think so too." Xu Nuo said.

"But it will soon become boring." After Kyrie Irving finished, he suddenly accelerated and started, trying to break through the promised defense.But Xu Nuo's reaction speed and foot movement speed are much faster than Kyrie Irving's. Kyrie Irving's sudden acceleration did not get rid of Xu Nuo's defense at all.When Kyrie Irving was about to start accelerating again after the emergency stop, this moment became "stagnant" again in Xu Nuo's eyes.

"Oh..." There was an exclamation mixed with disappointment in the Quicken Loans Arena.

"Xu Nuo actually steals the ball from Kyrie one-on-one!" The on-site commentator yelled from the side of the court, "Xu Nuo dribbled the ball and rushed forward, followed by Kyrie! Drop the promised shot!"

Watching Kyrie Irving follow up with the promise, the fans in the Quicken Loans Arena stood up one after another, "Kyrie, cap him!" Some fans shouted loudly from the side of the court.

"Want to block me? In the next life!" Xu Nuo said in his heart, and then jumped up high after reaching the penalty area of ​​the Cleveland Cavaliers.

"Wow! Xu Nuo jumped really high!" the live commentator said loudly, "Xu Nuo's feet are already at Kaili's waist!"

After Xu Nuo jumped up, Kyrie Irving didn't jump up to block Xu Nuo at all, but watched Xu Nuo dunk successfully, adding two points for the Indiana Pacers.

"Oh..." There was another sigh of disappointment in the Quicken Loans Arena.

After scoring the dunk, Promise turned to Kyrie Irving and said grimly, "This matchup between us is going to be pretty boring soon because I'm going to beat you!"

Kyrie Irving couldn't help glaring at Xu Nuo angrily after hearing this, but Kyrie Irving didn't say anything, because in the nearly 2 minutes after the start of the game, Xu Nuo had scored five points and a steal, while Kyrie • Irving missed a field goal and made a turnover.

Under the solid defense of the Indiana Pacers, the Cleveland Cavaliers didn't get the first point of the game until nearly 4 minutes into the game when Antawn Jamison made a mid-range shot.And with a promised assist for Roy Hibbert's dunk, the Indiana Pacers had led Cleveland by nine points, 11-2, and coach Byron Scott had to get up and request a timeout.

"It seems that Kyrie Irving is really not your opponent, man!" DeMar DeRozan said excitedly to Xu Xu.

"But this game has just started, we can't take it lightly." Xu Nuo said.

"Promise is right, we really can't relax because of this." Danny Granger said behind them, "Promise, I see that Kyrie Irving seems to be quite angry."

Xu Nuo smiled slightly, "It doesn't matter." Xu Nuo said lightly.
