super point guard

Chapter 197 Game
"Is this how you guys play?" Coach Larry Brown roared from the Indiana Pacers bench, his impossibly high voice shaking Promise's eardrums.However, Xu Nuo was not surprised. Under such circumstances, no matter which head coach it is, he would be furious.

With nearly 4 minutes to go before the end of the first quarter against the Miami Heat, the Indiana Pacers have trailed by as many as 21 points!
In such a situation on the court, how could Coach Larry Brown not be furious?
"Is that how you grab rebounds?" Coach Larry Brown yelled at his disciples. "You just watch your opponent grab rebounds like that? Where did your enthusiasm go?"

In fact, there is a reason why the players of the Indiana Pacers are in such a bad state. Last night, after a fierce away game, they narrowly beat the New Orleans Hornets by three points, and flew back to Indianapolis overnight to prepare for today's game. In the game, I didn't get a good rest at all, and my physical strength was a big problem.But despite this, it is indeed too much to fall behind the opponent by 21 points at the beginning.

Coach Larry Brown glared at his players, then at his sixth man, Promise.

"Promise, you go on the field!" Coach Larry Brown said loudly, "Under such circumstances, you are the only one who can bring the team hope of victory!"

Xu Nuo nodded silently, and took off the sports coat on his body.

When the timeout expires, the players return to the court.

Xu Nuo raised his head, looked at the scoreboard next to the big screen above his head, looked at the score of 5:26 displayed on it, and then lowered his head helplessly.

Such a miserable start made the fans in the Conseco Arena become silent.

No one expected the start of the game to be like this.

Perhaps because the score was already leading too much, the Miami Heat replaced their Big Three with backup shooting guard Mike Miller, small forward Shane Battier and power forward Udonis Haas. Ram.For the Indiana Pacers, the period when the Big Three of the Miami Heat are off the court is the best opportunity to close the point difference. The game will be more difficult.

The Indiana Pacers players on the field understood this, so their actions became more aggressive, and both offense and defense instantly increased their intensity.

Faced with the sudden increase in the intensity of the Indiana Pacers' game, the Miami Heat, which played with most of their substitute players on the court, seemed to have not adapted to it. The first offense after the timeout was to shoot the iron.Indiana Pacers power forward David West won the backcourt rebound, and the Indiana Pacers immediately launched a counterattack.Xu Nuo took the ball and pushed forward quickly. At this time, he saw that Danny Granger had settled down beyond the three-point line. Xu Nuo didn't even think about it. A direct three-pointer shot, the ball crossed a high arc and went straight into the net!

At 8:26, the Indiana Pacers finally made their first three-pointer in the game!

The players on the Indiana Pacers bench began to riot, even though they still had a huge [-]-point gap in front of them.

The Miami Heat players were still unaware of the Indiana Pacers' counterattack and were still playing leisurely.At this time, the Miami Heat players made a serious mistake: underestimating the enemy!Unbeknownst to the Miami Heat's players, the Indiana Pacers have come from behind in many games this season.

Mike Miller received a pass from Udonis Haslem and made a three-pointer from outside the three-point line. The ball hit the top edge of the basket and David West jumped high again The backcourt rebound was firmly in his arms.

"We will definitely recover the score!" Xu Nuo said silently in his heart.

Xu Nuo dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, handed it to David West who mentioned the high position to support the ball, and then promised to step forward to make a screen for DeMar DeRozan, DeMar DeRozan from Xu went around and went straight to the basket, and a pass from David West made it to DeMar DeRozan just in time.DeMar DeRozan leaps high, facing the rim.

Just when everyone thought DeMar DeRozan was going to put on a slam dunk performance, Udonis Haslem got between DeMar DeRozan and the basket.At this moment, DeMar DeRozan suddenly saw Danny Granger who had been waiting outside the 45-point three-point line on the left side of the court.So DeMar DeRozan subconsciously handed the ball to Danny Granger, and Danny Granger took the ball and made another three-pointer from the outside, and the ball went into the net again.

"It's another three-pointer!" The Indiana Pacers bench boiled up.

From being behind by 21 points to being only [-] points behind, the Indiana Pacers only took two rounds.

Miami Heat coach Spoelstra had no choice but to get up and request a timeout.

Paul George ran up, jumped high and collided with Danny Granger, excited expressions filled the faces of every Indiana Pacers player, completely forgetting that they were still [-] points behind their opponents .

Of course, there is another person who will not forget, and that is Coach Larry Brown, the head coach of the Indiana Pacers.

Coach Larry Brown picked up his tactical board with a serious face.

"Be quiet, boys, we still have fifteen points to catch up!" Coach Larry Brown said seriously.

The players of the Indiana Pacers gathered around and listened to Coach Larry Brown's tactics.

"Now we have played the basketball that belongs to our Indiana Pacers!" Coach Larry Brown said loudly, "What we have to do now is to continue to play in this way! You know, our opponent is the Miami Heat. , If you can reverse the Miami Heat, others will give us more respect, we have to show them that our Indiana Pacers will never be afraid of any other opponents!"

"Indeed, we will never be afraid of any opponent!" Team captain Danny Granger also said loudly.

Inspired by coach Larry Brown and team captain Danny Granger, the Indiana Pacers players once again ignited their fighting spirit and strode onto the court with their heads held high.

After the timeout, coach Larry Brown replaced the starting shooting guard DeMar DeRozan and replaced the backup shooting guard OJ Mayo. In terms of personal ability, OJ Mayo is better than DeMar DeRozan Some, so that the team's outside offensive firepower can be strengthened.

The Miami Heat deserved to be the team that reached the NBA Finals last season. They quickly discovered the team's problems and replaced Dwyane Wade and LeBron James in an attempt to contain the Indiana Pacers The team's chasing momentum.Now, the game between the two teams has just begun.

Miami Heat offense, Norris Cole hands the ball to LeBron James, LeBron James with his back to Danny Granger who is guarding him, the rest of the Miami Heat are far away, pull Open space for LeBron James to play with the ball.LeBron James didn't take advantage of his physical advantage to hit Danny Granger. Instead, he suddenly turned over and made a fadeaway jumper.

David West picked up his third backcourt rebound in a single quarter and handed it to Xu.Xu Nuo quickly dribbled straight to the frontcourt, at this time OJ Mayo also came to the weak side without the ball.Xu Nuo faced Dwyane Wade's defense, made a fake layup, and then passed the ball to OJ Mayo. OJ Mayo scored on a mid-range jumper on the catch, and with 13:26 to go, the Indiana Pacers trailed by exactly as many points as they got.

"The point difference is getting smaller and smaller!" said Rudy Fernandez, who was sitting on the bench.

Beside him, Ronnie Turiaf and JJ-Hickson watched the game with serious expressions.

After LeBron James missed a shot, Norris Cole handed the ball to Dwyane Wade on the next possession, and Dwyane Wade led the offense.Dwyane Wade broke through OJ Mayo's defense with the ball and rushed directly to the Indiana Pacers' basket. At this time, all the defensive attention of the Indiana Pacers players was on Dwyane Wade.Just when the Indiana Pacers players were about to encircle and defend Dwyane Wade, Dwyane Wade suddenly handed the ball to the basket and handed the ball to LeBron James again. James catches the ball and pulls it up for a dunk.

At 13:28, the Indiana Pacers were once again [-] points behind the Heat.

Xu Nuo looked up at the timer above the backboard. There was one minute and 11 seconds left in the first quarter.If possible, the team still has two offensive opportunities. If these two offensive opportunities can be grasped, the score can be a little closer.

Xu Nuo dribbled to the frontcourt, and this time it was center Roy Hibbert who mentioned the high-post support.Roy Hibbert stands near the top of the three-point arc as David West leans against Miami Heat power forward Udonis Haslem as Roy Hibbert hands the ball to David West.David West holds the ball against Udonis Haslem and takes a dribble when OJ Mayo uses a screen to go to the weak side off the ball and David West immediately passes the ball go out. OJ Mayo received the ball and made another solid mid-range jumper. At 15:28, the point difference between the two teams returned to [-] points again.

The game fell into a tug of war.

The next offense of the Miami Heat is still dominated by Dwyane Wade. Facing OJ Mayo, Dwyane Wade once again used his league-leading lost step. OJ Mayo lost his defensive position under the constant shaking of Dwyane Wade. Dwyane Wade took the opportunity to break through to the basket of the Indiana Pacers, pulling it up was a tomahawk dunk!

Coach Larry Brown frowned, his disciples' poor defense made him very angry. "Pay attention to protecting the inside line!" Coach Larry Brown stood on the edge of the court and shouted at his disciples.

The Indiana Pacers missed the last attack in the first quarter. At 15:30, the Indiana Pacers trailed the rival Miami Heat by [-] points at home, ending the first quarter.

However, the real race has just begun!
