super point guard

Chapter 302 Contest
In the first 3 minutes of the second quarter, the two teams, the Indiana Pacers and the Boston Celtics, who played mostly off the bench, have been in a stalemate. Completely prevail.Boston Celtics head coach Doc Rivers had to replace the main point guard Rajon Rondo in advance in order to reverse the situation as soon as possible and recover the disadvantage.

"Darren is hard to say is Rajon Rondo's opponent, and Irvington's role is a shooting guard. It seems that Coach Larry Brown will send you back to the court soon!" Dan, who was sitting next to Xu Xu Ni Granger said to Promise.

"I don't think so." Xu Nuo looked at the point guard Darren Collison on the court and said, "I believe Darren has the strength to compete with Rajon Rondo, and Larry Coach Brown will not make substitutions and adjustments so early, and he will have to wait another minute or two."

As Promise said, even if Coach Doug Rivers sent Rajon Rondo to the field, Coach Larry Brown did not immediately replace Promise, but continued to maintain the lineup of players on the court.The Boston Celtics seem to have a slight advantage on the court after Rajon Rondo enters the court. With Michael Pietrus hitting a mid-range jumper after receiving a pass from Rajon Rondo, the Boston Celtics in the away game The Special Team is only two points behind the Indiana Pacers at home with a score of 27:29.

"As expected, it's Rajon Rondo!" Danny Granger sighed, but Xu Nuo who was sitting on the side couldn't help but frowned.

Coach Larry Brown had to get up and call a timeout after his team was chased down to a two-point lead.In this timeout, coach Larry Brown began to make drastic substitution adjustments. Point guard Xu, small forward Danny Granger and center Roy Hibbert replaced Darren Collison, Paul · George and JJ - Hickson, back on the court.

"Coach Larry Brown can't hold his breath sometimes." Xu Nuo said to himself.

"The key is that we have reached the final stage of the Eastern Conference. Any small mistake may affect the trend of the entire series. If it is not done well, the efforts of the entire season will be in vain." Danny Granger said this to Xu Nuo.

Xu Nuo shrugged and said nothing more.

The game's referee Derek Stamford blew his whistle and the game restarted.Xu Nuo took the ball from OJ Mayo and started to organize the team's offense.Rajon Rondo hunched over, engrossed in the promise of dribbling downfield.

"It seems that this kid is starting to get serious..." Xu Nuo faced Rajon Rondo in front of him, and thought to himself, "It seems that we must be careful..."

At this time, power forward Tyler Hansbrough set up a pick-and-roll for Danny Granger, and Danny Granger quickly got rid of Michael Pietrus' defense and ran to the three-point line to receive the ball.Xu promised to pass the ball in his hand immediately, but Michael Pietrus once again stood in front of Danny Granger when Danny Granger received the ball, preventing Danny Granger from attacking.But Danny Granger did not choose to attack by himself, but passed the ball again while receiving the ball.

"It's Roy Hibbert!" Rajon Rondo yelled.

However, it was too late for Boston Celtics backup center Greg Stymesma to watch as Roy Hibbert dunked easily.Greg Stymesma got the ball and couldn't help but smash it hard to the floor.

"It doesn't matter!" Rajon Rondo comforted Greg Stimesma in this way, "No one can prevent such a goal, as long as the score is recovered in the next attack, it will be fine." OK."

As Rajon Rondo said this, he looked at the referee Derek Stamford, hoping that Derek Stamford would not give Greg the blow because of Greg Stymesma's smashing of the ball just now. A technical foul by Stymesma.However, although the current NBA league implements a "zero tolerance" policy, referees generally ignore the ball smashing action like Greg Stimesma.

Although the teammates on the court did not think that the point loss just now was Greg Stymesma's mistake, Boston Celtics head coach Doc Rivers still looked for opportunities to put Greg Stymesma replaced.Also replaced was backup shooting guard Marquese Daniels, and Kevin Garnett returned to the court at the same time as Paul Pierce.

"In this case, Michael Pietrus will appear at the shooting guard position." Xu Nuo thought in his heart, "However, Irvington should be able to handle it."

However, Xu Nuo soon discovered that it is better not to spend too much time on other people's affairs, because Rajon Rondo's offensive is getting stronger and stronger.Rajon Rondo broke through the Indiana Pacers' defense with consecutive balls, scored a layup and drew a foul, helping the Boston Celtics recover four points in an instant.

"What a tough guy!" Xu Nuo said bitterly while supporting his knees, looking coldly at Rajon Rondo who was walking to the free throw line to make a free throw.

Rajon Rondo's free throws have never been very stable. This time Rajon Rondo only made the second free throw. At 33:32, the Indiana Pacers at home were just one point ahead of the visiting Boston Celtics.

"It seems that at this time, we need a long three-point shot from outside to extinguish the counterattack momentum of the opponent." Xu Nuo thought in his heart.

So Xu promised to start looking for the team's top scorer Danny Granger more on the offensive end. After all, Danny Granger's shooting percentage outside the three-point line is still very good.However, Danny Granger missed a long three-pointer after getting rid of the defense, and Boston Celtics power forward Brandon Bass grabbed a defensive rebound.

"Hurry up and return to defense!" Xu Nuo shouted loudly, "We must not let them overtake the score!"

The Indiana Pacers players are not slow to return to defense. At the same time, it is difficult for the old Boston Celtics players to organize an effective fast counterattack. Except for Rajon Rondo, who can participate in the fast break Among them are power forward Brandon Bass and shooting guard Michael Pietrus.Michael Pietrus catches a pass from Rajon Rondo on a fast break for a mid-range jumper that misses the basket.

"Their ability to seize opportunities is too poor..." Xu Nuo thought in his heart.

After power forward Tyler Hansbrough grabbed a defensive rebound, Promise did not immediately launch a counterattack as usual. After all, the Boston Celtics still have Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce in the backcourt. General, and Rajon Rondo and the three of them returned to defense speed may not be much slower than promised them.Xu Nuo slowly dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and began to carefully organize this attack.

"This goal is very important, we must score this goal!" Xu Nuo said loudly to his teammates while dribbling the ball while raising a finger high.

Danny Granger still used Tyler Hansbrough's blocking screen to get rid of the defense as he did in the previous round of offense, and slipped to a 45-degree angle three-point line to receive the ball.Paul Pierce wanted to continue to defend, but was firmly blocked by Indiana Pacers center Roy Hibbert.In desperation, Rajon Rondo had no choice but to give up the defense of Xu Xu and go to mark Danny Granger, who was already unguarded.

"I was expecting you!" Danny Granger exclaimed.

Rajon Rondo knew very well in his heart that Danny Granger would definitely pass the ball, but Rajon Rondo had no way to block Danny Granger's pass.Danny Granger flicked his wrist slightly, and the ball returned to Xu Nuo's hand.

"Not good!" Rajon Rondo shouted in his heart.

Although Boston Celtics center Kevin Garnett had saved out of the three-second zone, and covered his head and face with a pair of long arms, Xu Nuo still hit the outside three-pointer steadily. At 36:32, the Indiana Pacers once again lead the Boston Celtics by four points!
"Finally in!" Xu Nuo said with relief, the team held a four-point lead, and the situation could be a little more stable.

On the sidelines, coach Doug Rivers made decisive substitutions and adjustments, and three-point shooter Ray Allen appeared again.At the other end of the court, coach Larry Brown also replaced Tyler Hansbrough, who had played nearly 7 minutes, with the team's main power forward David West.

"The time for the end of the first half is getting closer and closer. We must hold on to the four-point lead before the end of the first half!" Xu Nuo thought to himself looking at the timer above the backboard.At the same time, Boston Celtics point guard Rajon Rondo began to increase the pace of the offense, trying to catch up before the end of the first half.

Although Ray Allen contributed a long three-pointer from the outside for the team after he came on the court, the Boston Celtics were always behind.At the end of the first half, the visiting team Boston Celtics still trailed the home team Indiana Pacers by four points 40:44. "Hey, no more, no less, we still lead by four points." Xu Nuo shook his head amusedly, and said to himself.

In the first half of the game, Xu Nuo scored seven points and six assists, while Rajon Rondo, who played against Xu Nuo, scored [-] points, five assists and four rebounds.The most important thing in Xu Nuo's mind at this time is how to limit Rajon Rondo's performance in the second half of the game.

"If you don't do it well, you will be thrown away by Rajon Rondo!" Xu Nuo said to himself in his heart.
