Chapter 146

Coach Larry Brown sprinted the Indiana Pacers back to Indianapolis the night after Miami's narrow road loss to the mighty Miami Heat, leaving a night spent with girlfriend Ellen Page Promised to be disappointed.But Xu Nuo knew that Coach Larry Brown had always been strict in running the army, so Xu Nuo didn't dare to say anything in front of Coach Larry Brown.However, I rushed back to Indianapolis earlier, and I promised that I would have more time to prepare for the next game. I promised that this was exactly what Coach Larry Brown planned.

After the game against the Miami Heat, the Indiana Pacers ushered in five consecutive home games, which made Xu feel very comfortable, because in the next ten days or so, he can rest at home , there is no need to fly back and forth in the sky by plane, and the continuous long-distance flight does make Xu Nuo quite tired.Promise sincerely hopes the team can stay in Indianapolis longer if possible.

The first of five consecutive home games was a game against the Milwaukee Bucks. In the last game against the Milwaukee Bucks, the Indiana Pacers beat their opponents by 99 points in a 70-29 away game.But for Promise, there was more to the Milwaukee game than just the game itself.

"Remember, we met after the last game against the Milwaukee Bucks." Before the game, Xu Nuo said to his girlfriend Ellen Page, who was sitting in the first row of spectators beside the court.

"That's true," said Ellen Page playfully, though there was nothing mischievous in what she said. "It was a month ago!"

"Thinking of it this way, this month has passed so quickly!" Xu Nuo said while looking at the ceiling with a thoughtful expression.

"Is it going fast? Why didn't I feel it?" Ellen Page smiled mischievously, and said to Xu Nuo, "So do you want to be with me, or don't you want to be with me?" Ellen Page Peggy pouted as she spoke.

"Of course I want to be with you!" Xu Nuo said hastily.

Ellen Page couldn't help but smile, but when she just opened her mouth to say something, Xu Nuo was called to the Indiana Pacers' bench by her teammates.

After seeing Xu Nuo coming to the bench, coach Larry Brown, who was about to explain the tactics, said to the players: "Although our opponents are not very strong tonight, and we have beaten them in the past, we still This cannot be taken lightly. In the NBA, no team can be easily defeated. I hope you will show your best in tonight's game to defeat our opponents, after all Our fans don't pay to watch games in the arena to see us lose!"

After finishing speaking, Coach Larry Brown paused for a while, and after confirming that his disciples were indeed listening to his speech seriously, he nodded slightly, and then looked at Xu Nuo.

"Promise, your task tonight is the most difficult, because you have to face Brandon Jennings, the ace player of the Milwaukee Bucks." Coach Larry Brown said to Promise with a serious expression.

Xu Nuo smiled slightly, and said to Coach Larry Brown: "When facing the league's top point guards like Steve Nash, Russell Westbrook, and Rajon Rondo, I haven't been beaten by them, am I still afraid of that kid Brandon Jennings?"

"It's good to have self-confidence, but don't underestimate your opponent because of it!" The expression on Coach Larry Brown's face did not soften because of the promise of a pretended relaxed smile, and his face was still serious and serious , "What you need to know is that Brandon Jennings once scored 55 points in a game. If you are not careful, you are likely to be blown up by your opponent like that!" Larry Coach Brown said with a serious expression.

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

Moments later, the match between the Indiana Pacers and the Milwaukee Bucks officially began, and Xu Nuo walked onto the court amidst the cheers of his girlfriend Ellen Page and the fans.

"Promise, you're the best!" Ellen Page yelled from the sidelines.

Xu Nuo couldn't help but smile slightly when Roy Hibbert and Milwaukee Bucks center Andrew Bogut competed for the opening jump ball in the middle circle.This time Roy Hibbert lost to his opponent, Andrew Bogut won the opening jump ball, and Brandon Jennings got the ball and started the attack.

"Just let the horse come here!" Xu Nuo said in his heart, bent down and began to prepare for defense.

"It's an intense game!" the on-site commentator shouted from the side of the court. "First, the Milwaukee Bucks controlled the ball and Brandon Jennings was slowly dribbling. You know Brandon Jennings Ning Si once scored 55 points in a single game in his rookie season, and tonight he faced the promise of a Chinese player who is a rookie player but has always been very eye-catching. Will Jennings perform a miracle again?"

The reason the live commentator said that was because he couldn't predict the future, and if he could, he wouldn't have said it.Because it wasn't Brandon Jennings who was about to perform the miracle in this game, it was the promise that just entered his first year in the NBA.

Although Brandon Jennings hit two consecutive outside three-pointers at the beginning of the first quarter, driving the momentum of the visiting team Milwaukee Bucks, but the next matchup with Brandon Jennings Promises are returned on the offensive end.After assisting his teammates to score twice in a row, Xu Nuo also used a small throw to score. The Indiana Pacers took the lead with 11:8.Brandon Jennings lost his touch after hitting consecutive outside three-pointers in the opening game, and missed consecutive shots under the promised close defense.The team's No. 29 scorer didn't feel good, and the Milwaukee Bucks' offense had very obvious problems. They could only rely on the personal offense of inside center Andrew Bogut to support the team.At the end of the first quarter, the Indiana Pacers led the opponent Milwaukee Bucks by 19:[-] by a full ten points, and Xu Nuo had already scored four points, four assists and two rebounds in a single quarter.

In the second quarter, the Milwaukee Bucks' small forward "Captain" Stephen Jackson began to show off, using consecutive inside and outside shots to score consecutively.However, the Indiana Pacers quickly relied on George Hill and Rudy Fernandez's outside three-pointers to stabilize the situation and continue to maintain a double-digit lead.After Xu Nuo returned to the court again, he continued his comprehensive performance. In the first half of the game, he scored seven points, six assists and five rebounds, of which five rebounds in the half also set a record for himself. halftime rebounding record.Brandon Jennings, who was facing off against Xu Nuo, still hadn't recovered his touch, scoring only eight points and three assists in the half.Due to the team's overall low shooting percentage, the Milwaukee Bucks in the away game were already 41 points behind the Indiana Pacers 59:[-] at halftime.

The second half of the game was almost equivalent to garbage time. Although Brandon Jennings adjusted in time, he continuously broke through the inside of the Indiana Pacers to cause damage, and scored four points through free throws, but this has been unable to stop the ball. The team continued to lose. At 66:86, the Milwaukee Bucks trailed the Indiana Pacers by a full twenty points at the end of the third quarter.Xu Xu didn't play much time in the third quarter, but he also scored three points, three assists and three rebounds in a single quarter.

The fourth quarter of the game has completely lost its competitiveness, and the Milwaukee Bucks have also given up hope of turning the game around. The two teams have replaced the substitute players for training.However, because promise is a rookie player, promise to stay on the court for a longer time compared with other main players.At the end of the game, Xu Nuo scored 86 points, 106 assists and [-] rebounds, and got the first "triple double" data of his career.Brandon Jennings, who played against Promise, only scored [-] points and [-] assists, and the Milwaukee Bucks lost [-]:[-] away.

"I really didn't expect that it was the Indiana Pacers' rookie Xu Nuo who performed a miracle in tonight's game." Brandon Jennings seems more like a rookie than a promise."

"Is it just luck every time I play against the Milwaukee Bucks?" Promise half-jokingly said to girlfriend Ellen Page after the game.

"Who knows?" Ellen Page said with a playful shrug and a smile.

"If that's the case, then I'd really like to play the Milwaukee Bucks every night," Promise joked.

Xu Nuo really didn't expect that he would play such a brilliant performance in the first game of five consecutive home games. With such a good start, Xu Nuo has no reason not to believe that he will continue to perform well in the following games.With such a relaxed mood, Xu promised to have a good time with his girlfriend Ellen Page.
