Chapter 199
The Indiana Pacers got entangled with the Miami Heat through and through.

In the first few minutes of the second half of the game where the Indiana Pacers played against the visiting Miami Heat at Conseco Arena, the Indiana Pacers and the Miami Heat were completely caught in a tug-of-war. Teams come and go, and no one wants to let the other party do anything.Entering the second half, the score between the two teams was 46:50. The Indiana Pacers were four points behind the visiting team, the Miami Heat. Five minutes into the third quarter, the score on the field was 5:58. The Indiana Pacers are still four points behind the Miami Heat, and the two teams are deadlocked.

"This kind of game is the real NBA game!" Xu Nuo said to himself.

DeMar DeRozan fouls Dwyane Wade on defense and Dwyane Wade goes to the free throw line.After Dwyane Wade made two free throws, the score became 58-64, and the Indiana Pacers were once again six points behind the Miami Heat.

"We can catch up again, don't be discouraged!" Team captain Danny Granger shouted to other teammates on the court.

"Victory must be ours!" Xu Nuo said in his heart.

Xu Nuo dribbled to the frontcourt, Danny Granger came out to catch the ball, and then held the ball to face the "little emperor" LeBron James who was defending him.Although Danny Granger knew very well that it would be difficult for him to gain the upper hand in a one-on-one confrontation with LeBron James, but for the team's victory, Danny Granger had to face the difficulties superior.Danny Granger made continuous fake moves to confuse LeBron James, but LeBron James was not moved by it. Danny Granger only had the ball to forcefully break through LeBron James' defense.

Just as Danny Granger was starting to drive, Miami Heat point guard Mario Chalmers, who was supposed to be defending Promise, moved quickly to help LeBron James help guard Danny Granger.Danny Granger had quick eyes and quick hands, and passed the ball to Xu who was already in position outside the three-point line.

Miami Heat coach Erik Spoelstra yelled for Mario Chalmers to turn around and defend.However, before Mario Chalmers defended, Xu Nuo had already shot from beyond the three-point line.The ball hit the neck of the basket and bounced high, but eventually fell into the basket. At 61:64, the Indiana Pacers finally caught up with the score to only three points.

"Come on, we can catch up in one more round!" Danny Granger shouted.

In fact, it is already a miracle that the Indiana Pacers can catch up from 21 points behind to only three points away.In the NBA, not every game can be reversed.

At this time, what the Miami Heat need to do is to limit the Indiana Pacers' chasing momentum and ensure that their lead is not lost.

The Miami Heat went on the offensive, and Dwyane Wade got the ball up the field before passing it to LeBron James.LeBron James faces Danny Granger defending him and takes the ball one step beyond the three-point line.LeBron James just dribbled the ball a few times, and then directly pulled up a jumper for a three-pointer. Danny Granger wanted to interfere with LeBron James' shooting, but it was useless. LeBron James hit a three-pointer from the outside , The point difference between the two teams was once again widened to six points.Danny Granger frowned impatiently, while Coach Larry Brown had a serious face.

Although Coach Larry Brown is a coach who pays more attention to defense, under the existing personnel conditions of the Indiana Pacers, Coach Larry Brown does not have many good ways to defend LeBron James.Now facing the Miami Heat with the Big Three, they can no longer use the "James Rule" to defend LeBron James as they did when they faced the Cleveland Cavaliers with only LeBron James as a superstar. Compared with the Cleveland Cavaliers at that time, the current Miami Heat has more stars and more effective scoring points.With the current Indiana Pacers lineup, it is really difficult to defend LeBron James with Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh around him.

Since the Miami Heat cannot be well restricted on the defensive end, there is only one way to defeat the Miami Heat: to maintain their own offensive power.

Just after LeBron James hit that outside three-pointer, Xu Nuo assisted David West for an alley-oop dunk.After that, Miami Heat point guard Mario Chalmers missed a three-pointer on a pass from LeBron James, and Roy Hibbert took off the backcourt rebound.

At the same time, Xu Nuo has started rushing towards the basket of the Miami Heat, Roy Hibbert made a long pass and stuffed it straight into Xu Nuo's hands.Promise goes to the Miami Heat basket for a layup before LeBron James chases him down for a block. At 65:67, the Indiana Pacers finally caught up with the score to only two points!

Seeing that the team's 21-point lead is now down to two points, Miami Heat coach Spoelstra stands up and requests a timeout, and the Indiana Pacers players excitedly return to the bench superior.No one in the arena noticed that LeBron James gave the Miami Heat a stern look as he walked past coach Spoelstra on his way back to the Miami Heat bench Coach Spoelstra.

Compared with the depression of LeBron James, the players of the Indiana Pacers are very excited. When they are 21 points behind, few players of the Indiana Pacers can think that the team can really recover the score , but now they are only two points away from the Miami Heat. As long as everyone works harder, it is very possible to tie or even overtake.Before the game restarted, coach Larry Brown came to Xu Nuo.

"Promise, is there any problem with your physical strength?" Coach Larry Brown asked Xu Xu.

"Of course." Xu Nuo said with a breath.

Coach Larry Brown nodded, "For the remaining minutes of the third quarter, I ask you to stay on the court." Coach Larry Brown said to Xu Xu, "For the Miami Heat, your personal offense , as well as your passing, are a great threat. Don’t forget that your opponents on the court are only second-rate players like Mario Chalmers!”

"I see!" Xu Nuo nodded.

And on the court, LeBron James came to Mario Chalmers' side. "Mario, what about the promise kid, is he easy to deal with?" LeBron James asked Mario Chalmers.

"No problem!" Mario Chalmers said blankly.

LeBron James didn't say anything more, but his face was full of suspicion.

"Now Mario's physical strength has dropped significantly, and facing the promise of fighting against excellent point guards like Derrick Rose and Rajon Rondo, Mario actually has little chance of winning." LeBron James thought so.

The next game verified LeBron James' thoughts, promising to easily break through Mario Chalmers' defense and then hit a small throw and get two points.Before the third quarter was over, Xu Nuo had already scored [-] points.

Mario Chalmers gasped heavily, looking at Xu Nuo fiercely.

"This kid, his speed is simply too fast, how should he defend?" Mario Chalmers thought bitterly.

When Mario Chalmers was thinking about how to defend Xu Nuo's offense, Xu Nuo started his passing performance again.In less than 2 minutes, Xu Nuo assisted his teammates to score three consecutive times.After assisting David West for a dunk and OJ Mayo for a mid-range jumper, Promise assists Danny Granger for an outside three-pointer, and the Indiana Pacers finally tie the score at 73:73 !
The Conseco Arena is completely boiling!

In the first quarter, they trailed so much behind their opponents, and now they are able to tie the score. This is something that all the fans at the scene did not expect at all.

Perhaps those fans who gave up watching the game and went home early should regret it very much, regretting that they missed such a classic and shocking reversal!

In a jubilant atmosphere, it seemed that the Miami Heat, who had been beaten to the north, had to ask for a timeout again.Seeing that the Miami Heat had to request a timeout, the fans in the audience were even more excited.

After this timeout, Xu Nuo had played nearly 9 minutes in the third quarter before he could take a break. The team's starting point guard Darren Collison replaced Xu Nuo.While Darren Collison is nominally the starting point guard for the Indiana Pacers, coach Larry Brown prefers to use promises most of the time, committing more playing time than Darren Collison's A lot more.Although both Xu Nuo and Darren Collison are more or less sticky to the ball, Xu Nuo is much more efficient than Darren Collison, and Xu Nuo is better at passing the ball than Darren Collison.

After the timeout, Miami Heat coach Spoelstra took down all the Big Three, ignoring LeBron James' dissatisfied expression.By the end of the third quarter, the Indiana Pacers continued to tie with the Miami Heat 79:79.

"In this way, we will have a decisive battle with our opponents in the fourth quarter!" Xu Nuo said.

"However, we must win in the end!" Danny Granger said.

"Maybe, tonight's game will really be a preview of the Eastern Conference Finals!" Xu Nuo said as he looked at the players of the Miami Heat.
