Chapter 163 Black Spurs
When the rare warm sunshine in winter fell into Xu Nuo's room, Xu Nuo lazily opened his sleepy eyes, stretched lazily, and lazily changed his clothes.Although Xu Nuo had returned to Indianapolis to rest for a day after the game against the New Jersey Nets from New Jersey, Xu Nuo still felt soreness all over his body at this time, as if he had just been pressed It was like a hard beating on the ground.

Xu Nuo rubbed his sore shoulders, and walked to the balcony that he had rarely visited since the beginning of winter.Every time he took a step, Xu Nuo could feel faint soreness in his calf, and at the same time his arms were as heavy as if filled with lead, Xu Nuo even found it difficult to lift his arms.

"Damn rookie wall!" Xu Nuo sat in a chair on the balcony, lowering his head and muttering to himself.

At this time, a gust of cold wind blew, and Xu Nuo couldn't help shivering.It's the middle of winter, and it's not wise to stay out of your room for too long.Xu Nuo had no choice but to slowly return to the room, ready to go downstairs to wash up and have breakfast.

"How can I play in such a state," Xu Nuo muttered in a low voice, "If my state still doesn't improve during the game, I'll be blamed if I don't get blown away by my opponent."

Promise and his Indiana Pacers will face off against the San Antonio Spurs in the Western Conference tonight, and Promise will face Tony Parker in the game.In the past, Xu Nuo can be sure that he will not suffer too much in the confrontation with Tony Parker, but now, Xu Nuo is really worried that he may not be able to stop Tony Parker's impact on him.

While having breakfast, Xu Nuo's mother saw that Xu Nuo was a little strange today, "Xiao Nuo, what's wrong with you?" Mom asked with concern.

"It's nothing, it's just that I've been too tired recently." Xu Nuo said lightly.

"Take a rest when you're tired," Dad said.

"I also want to rest, but the season is not over yet, we still have games, we still have training, if I rest now, then I am very likely to lose my starting point guard position." Promise said.

"Isn't it just a starting position, does it need to be taken so seriously?" Dad said.

"I finally got the team's starting point guard position, and I really don't want to give it up again." Promise said, "Now that Darren Collison has returned from injury, there are three players on the team. The point guard who can play, Ovington Mayo can also play the point guard position, the competition in the team is very fierce, so now I can't have the slightest slack."

"But you can't wear yourself out anyway," said Mom.

"No way, who made me a professional basketball player." Xu Nuo shrugged and said, "Since I have chosen this path, I can only go on without hesitation, no matter how difficult the difficulties ahead of me are."

Mom and Dad looked at each other and said nothing.

Although Xu Nuo still feels sore during training, Xu Nuo is still one of the most hard-working players on the Indiana Pacers.As Danny Granger said, only by continuing to train and maintain his state can he get through the difficult period of "hitting the wall" more smoothly.

And another reason why Xu promises to train hard is that he hopes that he can be in a good state in the game against the San Antonio Spurs tonight, so as not to let himself suffer too much in the matchup with Tony Parker.For Xu Xu, who is currently in a bad state, as long as he doesn't suffer, it is a victory.

However, even though Xu Nuo has been training very hard, when the night's game comes, Xu Nuo still feels that he has not found his best form.With a feeling of uneasiness, Xu Nuo began to prepare for the game against the San Antonio Spurs.

The game between the Indiana Pacers and the San Antonio Spurs began at 08:30 in the evening, and the San Antonio Spurs took to the floor of the Conseco Arena wearing black away jerseys, and black is the most hated promise right now one color.

"If a person is unlucky, drinking cold water will clog his teeth." Xu Nuo looked at the dazzling black jersey of the San Antonio Spurs and muttered to himself.

Compared with the uneasy promise at this time, Darren Collison and George Hill, who are both point guards, look much more relaxed.This game was also the first time that George Hill faced his old club, the San Antonio Spurs, after coming to the Indiana Pacers. Before the game started, George Hill even ran to the San Antonio Spurs bench area, Chatting and laughing with his former teammates.

"Hey, George, I heard that the rookie promise of your team is a very good player?" Tony Parker asked George Hill like this.

"Uh...he's been playing really well so far," George Hill said.

So Tony Parker deliberately ran to the court to talk to Xu Nuo.When meeting Tony Parker, Xu Nuo's mood was not as uneasy as before. "There must be winners and losers in the game. Even if I lose the duel with Tony Parker, it's just in this game tonight. It doesn't matter if I lose." Xu Nuo thought like this, With this in mind, Xu Nuo became calmer at the beginning of the game.

Although promises have been in a poor state recently, Indiana Pacers head coach Larry Brown still put promises on tonight's starting list.Although it has been a while since Darren Collison returned from injury, he still has not been able to return to the starting point guard position. This seems to be precisely because Coach Larry Brown has [-]% confidence in the promise, regardless of How bad the state of promise is at this point.

But Xu Nuo's state in the game was indeed not very good. After missing two consecutive shots in the opening game, Xu Nuo simply stopped shooting and focused all his attention on passing and defense.However, in the first quarter of the game, the San Antonio Spurs in the away game were more stable. Their strong defense allowed the Indiana Pacers at home to score only [-] points in the first quarter.Xu Xu scored no points in the first quarter and had only two assists.Tony Parker, who was facing off against Xu Nuo, was in a storm, scoring eight points in a single quarter.

"It's really unstoppable!" Xu Nuo looked at Tony Parker and said to himself.

With a score of 16:23, the Indiana Pacers entered the second quarter of the game.The strength of the second teams of the two teams on the court is almost the same, and the Indiana Pacers may be even better.In the first half of the second quarter, the Indiana Pacers were tied with the San Antonio Spurs. Five minutes into the second quarter, the Indiana Pacers still trailed the San Antonio Spurs by seven points with 5:24.After Xu Nuo reappeared in the second quarter, he finally made a mid-range shot and scored his first point of the game.Team leader Danny Granger hit two consecutive outside 31-pointers in the second half of the second quarter, and the Indiana Pacers ended the first half with a six-point 39-45 lead to the San Antonio Spurs.

"Promise, you will not play for too long in the second half." During the intermission, coach Larry Brown said to Xu Nuo, "We need stronger outside fire support, so that our inside and outside lines can be combined more smoothly. "

"I see, Coach Brown." Xu Nuo whispered, looking very frustrated.

Coach Larry Brown patted Xu Nuo on the shoulder lightly, as if to comfort Xu Nuo, and then Coach Larry Brown began to arrange the tactical arrangements for the players in the second half of the game.

Darren Collison was the Indiana Pacers' point guard for most of the second half, promising only about eight minutes of playing time.But coach Larry Brown's changes did not bring the team a victory. The Indiana Pacers eventually lost at home to the visiting San Antonio Spurs 8:78.Promise only hit two goals from seven shots in the game, and he has not yet emerged from the downturn.

Xu Nuo had a career low of six points and four assists.

"Promise, it's okay, this is just an ordinary regular season in a season." Danny Granger comforted and promised after the game, "It's nothing to lose a game, but it's nothing to lose in a game." It’s normal to behave badly.”

"I know," Xu Nuo said with a smile, "Maybe the Spurs' jersey is too ugly tonight, and it will affect our state in the game."

Danny Granger smiled, but soon his face returned to a serious expression.

"I don't want us to find any reason to prevaricate our loss after losing the game," Danny Granger said, "We can only find out the reason for our loss as soon as possible, and then make up for it in the next game." Our mistake. I still say, don't forget what we signed this contract for."

Xu Nuo looked at his hands, thinking in his heart how he should get out of the trough of this period of time.The Indiana Pacers will face the Toronto Raptors in the next game. The opponent is not too strong. Maybe I can find my status in this game that should be relatively easy.

"There will be peaks and valleys in everything, and I won't go down like this forever!" Xu Nuo said to himself.

"Just wait, I will definitely be back!"
