Chapter 198 The Place Where Miracles Happen

The noisy Conseco Arena is still noisy.

The fans went from being silent in the first quarter to shouting wildly now.

Although the Indiana Pacers are still [-] points behind the visiting Miami Heat.

"Guys, there are still three full quarters left in the game!" Indiana Pacers coach Larry Brown said loudly to his disciples, "We still have plenty of time to recover the points we lost before and recover the score." It’s nothing to us, as long as you guys maintain your impact and intensity, the victory will definitely be ours!”

"Come on guys!" Captain Danny Granger also shouted.

The second quarter of the Indiana Pacers' home game against the Miami Heat is about to start, and the players once again set foot on the field in the Conseco Arena.

"After all, we still have [-] points to chase. Do we still have a chance of winning?" Ronnie Turiaf, who came off the bench before the start of the second quarter, asked Promise.

"There should be no problem." Xu Nuo said with certainty.

"Oh?" Ronnie Turiaf looked at Xu Nuo with some disbelief.

"It's still fifteen points away," said Ronnie Turiaf. "It's going to be very difficult anyway."

"In the NBA, can't anything happen?" Xu Nuo said, "Reversals are commonplace in the NBA. Don't forget that the NBA is where miracles happen."

"That's right!" Danny Granger said with a smile and patted Xu Nuo's shoulder.

"Okay, hurry up and play!" Coach Larry Brown said to promise and Ronnie Turiaf solemnly.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Indiana Pacers sent a full bench lineup. The point guard is naturally the team's sixth man, the shooting guard is the combo guard OJ Mayo, and the small forward is the Spaniard Rudy Fernandez. , the power forward is Ronnie Turiaf, who just talked to Xu Nuo, and the center is JJ-Hickson, who has also just transferred to the Indiana Pacers.

The opponent, the Miami Heat, seemed to have learned the lessons of the first quarter and became more cautious. "Little Emperor" LeBron James still stayed on the court, but the other two "giants" Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh sits on the sidelines.In this way, the Miami Heat became the "Miami Cavaliers" once again.

However, whether it is the Miami Heat or the "Miami Cavaliers", the opponent in front of them should not be underestimated.

However, Xu Nuo still firmly believed in his heart that the victory of the game must belong to the Indiana Pacers, and they must be able to create miracles!
Because the NBA is where miracles happen!
Xu Nuo didn't score in the first quarter and only sent out two assists, but just after the start of the second quarter, Xu Nuo broke through the Miami Heat's backup point guard Norris Cole, made an emergency stop jumper, and won Scored his first point in the game.The Miami Heat completely handed over the ball to LeBron James on offense, and it was entirely up to LeBron James to organize the offense and control the game.However, LeBron James' breakthrough layup was slapped down by Ronnie Turiaf's big hat, and the Conseco Arena was full of joy.

"Attack!" Xu Nuo shouted after getting the ball.

The Indiana Pacers once again organized the fast counterattack that the team is good at, but LeBron James returned to the defense very quickly. When Xu dribbled to the Miami Heat basket, LeBron James was already close up.

"It's really keeping up!" Xu Nuo thought in his heart.

At this moment, LeBron James suddenly felt that something was wrong.

With the speed promised, he can completely leave himself behind, and he can catch up with Xu Xu so easily, but something is not quite right.

Sure enough, at the same time when LeBron James was catching up with Xu Nuo, Xu Nuo suddenly leaned against LeBron James' body, and LeBron James' strong body immediately pressed on Xu Nuo's shoulders.LeBron James reacted immediately: This kid is trying to make a foul!
But it was too late for LeBron James to evade. While promising a layup, the referee Mike Callahan on duty had already blown his whistle.LeBron James deliberately pulled a foul and promised to add a free throw.

"It's wonderful!" The Indiana Pacers bench and the stands in the Conseco Arena boiled almost simultaneously.

With the promised extra free throw, the Indiana Pacers were only ten points behind the rival Miami Heat at 20:30.

"If you can recover five points in such a short time, then this [-]-point lead will be exhausted in an instant!" Miami Heat coach Erik Spoelstra thought. .

Afterwards, although LeBron James scored four points in a row, Xu Nuo soon assisted Rudy Fernandez to hit a long three-pointer from the outside, and the score on the field became 23:34.

"That kid, the efficiency is really amazing." Coach Larry Brown said in his heart.

On the court, Rudy Fernandez fouled Miami Heat forward LeBron James while defending, but LeBron James made only one of two free throws.After LeBron James made the second free throw, coach Larry Brown made another substitution adjustment, and Paul George replaced Rudy Fernandez who had just fouled.

Promised to take the ball to reorganize the offense, the center JJ-Hickson mentioned high catch, and promised to slip along the three-point line to the right corner of the court immediately after passing the ball out of the three-point line, JJ-Hickson immediately Pass the ball back to promise.Xu Nuo received the ball and jumped up high to shoot. At this time, Miami Heat power forward Udonis Haslem jumped out to interfere with Xu Nuo, so Xu Nuo turned the shooting into a pass at this moment, and the ball was like a cannonball. Across the court, it came to OJ Mayo on the weak side.At this time, OJ Mayo, who was outside the three-point line, was already unmarked. OJ Mayo raised his hand outside the three-pointer without hesitation, and the ball went into the net hollow!
At 26:35, the Indiana Pacers finally narrowed the score to within ten.

The bench of the Indiana Pacers was boiling, and Danny Granger couldn't help smiling when he watched Xu Nuo and OJ Mayo excitedly clap their hands in celebration.

And Miami Heat coach Spoelstra is a livid face. Although his team is still nine points ahead of the Indiana Pacers, coach Spoelstra seems to be aware of the momentum on the court. He is no longer on his team's side.

There are almost 7 minutes before the end of the first half. These 7 minutes are very important for the Indiana Pacers. It can be said that the victory or defeat of the entire game is likely to be determined in these 7 minutes.

If the Indiana Pacers can catch up with the score in these 7 minutes, then the subsequent game will be relatively easy; and if the Indiana Pacers are once again opened by the opponent in these 7 minutes, then in the second half of the game The Indiana Pacers had little chance of winning the game.

"We will definitely create miracles!" Xu Nuo said to himself over and over again in his heart.

Also as a rookie, Miami Heat point guard Norris Cole staged a play where people couldn't pass the ball under Xu Nuo's defense. Xu Nuo took the opportunity to pick up the ball and go straight to the Miami Heat's basket.Norris Cole tried his best and failed to catch up with Xu, so he had to choose to foul.At the same time that Norris Cole made a foul, Xu Nuo threw the ball in his hand towards the basket, and he fell heavily on the floor.The ball bounced a few times on the basket, and finally fell into the net bag.

The referee Mike Callahan's whistle blew immediately, and he promised to score a goal. Norris Cole deliberately pulled someone behind and promised to add a free throw. At the same time, Norris Cole was called for a violation. Physical foul.Immediately, boos began to sound all over the sky in the Conseco Arena, and of course the boos were aimed at Norris Cole.

However, what the players of the Indiana Pacers are most concerned about is not whether the goal is scored, but the promise lying on the ground!Coach Larry Brown on the sidelines also looked serious. He knew that Xu Nuo had been injured twice for the same reason. Coach Larry Brown didn't want Xu Nuo to get injured again.

Under the eyes of coach Larry Brown, his teammates and the fans at the scene, Xu Nuo finally climbed up slowly, and it seemed that there was no serious problem.After promising to stand up, Coach Larry Brown was secretly relieved.

After making both free throws, the Indiana Pacers were only five points behind the Miami Heat at 30:35!After the start of the second quarter, Xu Nuo scored eight points, which is undoubtedly the biggest contributor to the team's close score.After Xu made a free throw, coach Larry Brown replaced Xu with Darren Collison.Norris Cole, who was called for a physical foul, was also replaced and replaced by Miami Heat starting point guard Mario Chalmers.

Although Norris Cole was off the field, his foul aroused the fighting spirit and bloodiness of the Indiana Pacers players, and the Indiana Pacers began their desperate counterattack.LeBron James broke through for a layup, and was once again directly pressed down by Ronnie Turiaf. Mario Chalmers got the ball and then shot, and was blocked by Ronnie Turiaf again. After the cover, Dwyane Wade took the ball and continued to shoot, but was directly fanned out of bounds by Ronnie Turiaf.Ronnie Turiaf's three consecutive blocks made the fans in Conseco Arena once again boil, and it can even be said that they became crazy.

The promised three-pointer and Ronnie Turiaf's three consecutive blocked shots boosted the morale of the Indiana Pacers. A wave of offensive climax completely defeated the previously invincible Miami Heat. Even if the Heat coach Spoelstra called a timeout, it could not stop the Indiana Pacers' counterattack.With Darren Collison assisting David West's alley-oop dunk at the end of the first half, the Indiana Pacers trailed the Miami Heat by just four points 46:50 entering the intermission.From 21 points behind to only four points behind, the Indiana Pacers took just over a quarter.

"Sure enough, the NBA is a place full of miracles." Xu Nuo said to Danny Granger as he walked towards the players' locker room.

Danny Granger smiled.
