super point guard

Chapter 320 Finals

At 2011:2012 p.m. local time on June [-]th in the United States, the Chesapeake Energy Arena, the home of the Oklahoma City Thunder, was ablaze with lights. The first series of the [-]-[-] NBA Finals will begin soon. .

Xu Nuo stood on the court floor with his hands behind his back and his head held high.As long as he promises to stand here, he has created a record, a record that belongs to the Chinese.You know, this is the first time a Chinese player has set foot in the NBA Finals as the main player of the team!

Prior to this, although two Chinese players, Battelle and Sun Yue, set foot on the NBA finals in 2003 and 2009 and won the NBA championship ring, but these two players were in the San Antonio Spurs and the Los Angeles Lakers. They are all embarrassing "water dispenser watchmen", who did not make any effort for the team to win the championship, let alone become the main player of the team.Now when fans talk about these two championship rings, most of them speak in a slightly mocking tone.

And other Chinese players who have played or are currently playing in the NBA don't even know what the NBA Finals look like.

As the first Chinese player to land in the NBA, although Wang Zhizhi had entered the playoffs with the Miami Heat in the 2004-2005 season, the team was eliminated by the Detroit Pistons in the Eastern Conference Finals and still missed the NBA Finals.What's more, Wang Zhizhi's position in the Miami Heat was not much better than Battelle's position in the San Antonio Spurs and Sun Yue's position in the Los Angeles Lakers. He was just a solid substitute player.

As the Chinese player who has achieved the most success in the NBA so far, Yao Ming only broke through the first round of the playoffs once in his nine-year career, and the team also stopped in the Western Conference semifinals.After that, Yao Ming retired due to injury, his career was empty-handed, and the NBA championship was out of reach.

In addition, Yi Jianlian's road in the NBA has been more bumpy and tortuous. He has been suffering from injuries for years, and has lost the aura he had when he first entered the NBA.The current Yi Jianlian can only hover at the end of the bench. His Dallas Mavericks were also eliminated by the Indiana Pacers' rival Oklahoma City Thunder in the first round of the Western Conference playoffs. It may be an idiot's dream.

But now, Xu Nuo is standing in the NBA Finals as the main point guard of the Indiana Pacers!With this alone, Xu Nuo has already set a record.

It is precisely because of this that Xu Nuo's heart will always be surging.Xu Nuo knew that there were 13 billion people in the country looking at him at this time, watching his performance on the court, Xu Nuo suddenly felt that the pressure on his shoulders was much heavier.

On the other side of the court, Oklahoma City Thunder's main point guard Russell Westbrook, who promised to be in the game, practiced with a relaxed expression.Xu Nuo looked at Russell Westbrook from a distance, and suddenly felt that he no longer had the confidence to give up on me.

"Although Russell Westbrook's skills and speed may not completely surpass him, his experience in the playoffs is much richer than his own, and he is still an extremely difficult opponent!" Xu Xu said in his heart. I thought about it, but then suddenly changed my mind, "But I followed the team all the way through the East and defeated two strong teams, the Miami Heat and the Boston Celtics. I also once fought with the NBA's top point guard Rajon Rondo has played against each other. Facing the Oklahoma City Thunder and Russell Westbrook, who also entered the NBA Finals for the first time, I have no reason to be afraid of opponents!"

Thinking of this, Xu Nuo's restless heart once again settled down.

On the sidelines, Ellen Page, sitting in the first row of spectators, seemed more nervous than Xu Nuo, with her fingers crossed together, as if she had been praying for Xu Nuo.Xu Nuo smiled at Ellen Page, as if saying that she had absolutely no problem, then Xu Nuo returned to the team's bench and listened to Coach Larry Brown's tactics. Ellen Page put down her chest hands in front.

Mike Callahan, who served as the referee for the first finals, blew his whistle to signal to the players that the game was about to begin.After Xu Nuo walked onto the court and hugged every Oklahoma City Thunder player, he took his place near the free throw line.The two major centers on the court, Roy Hibbert and Kendrick Perkins, stood near the center circle, ready to compete for the opening jump ball.

"Roy should be able to beat Kendrick Perkins!" Xu Nuo said in his heart.

Compared with the stocky Kendrick Perkins, Roy Hibbert's reaction speed and bounce are slightly better than Kendrick Perkins.Referee Mike Callahan tossed the ball high in his hands, and Roy Hibbert immediately jumped high and grabbed the ball before Kendrick Perkins.

"Sure enough!" Xu Nuo said in his heart while reaching for the ball.

"Friends in the audience, the first game of the 2011-2012 season NBA Finals has now begun!" said the on-site commentator in the Chesapeake Energy Arena, "Roy Hibbert grabbed the opening jump ball, The visiting Indiana Pacers had the ball first."

Xu Nuo, who was dribbling on the court and advancing forward, suddenly felt that the voice of the on-site commentator seemed a little familiar. He couldn't help but secretly glanced at the on-site commentator sitting by the side of the court, and saw that the on-site commentator was actually from ESPN again. Bald commentator Jeff Van Gundy! "They're all old acquaintances..." Xu Nuo muttered.

"These two teams on the court are very young teams with very similar playing styles. They have a lot in common both in offense and defense. I don't know who can win the game when these two teams meet together. Get the final O'Brien Gold Cup!" Jeff Van Gundy continued.

On the court, he promised to dribble the ball to the frontcourt, and handed the ball to the power forward David West who mentioned the high post support, and he began to cruise back and forth outside the three-point line, disrupting the Oklahoma City Thunder's defense.Meanwhile, the team's leading scorer, Danny Granger, used center Roy Hibbert's screen to run from near the baseline to the free throw line, receive the ball from David West, and hold the ball Rush to the inside of the Oklahoma City Thunder.

"Compared with the Boston Celtics, the insiders of the Thunder are much younger. It seems a bit difficult for Danny to use breakthroughs to cause damage." Xu Nuo thought in his heart.

However, Coach Larry Brown arranged it like this before the game, because the star of the Oklahoma City Thunder is small forward Kevin Durant, and if Danny Granger was able to suppress Kevin Durant on the offensive end at the beginning of the game, making Kevin Durant have to spend his energy on defense, so Kevin Durant's offensive efficiency will be slightly reduced.But Xu Nuo suddenly discovered at this time that the Thunder player responsible for man-marking Danny Granger was not Kevin Durant, but their perimeter defense expert Thabo Sefolosha.

"It seems that Coach Scott Brooks has also thought of this and made quite targeted arrangements." Xu Nuo thought in his heart.

With the former two Thunder insiders, Kendrick Perkins and Serge Ibaka, surrounded by defensive pioneer Thabo Sefolosha, Danny Granger is very It is difficult to break into the three-second zone of the Oklahoma City Thunder, and there are a few pairs of big hands covering the top of the head, and it is also very difficult to take off and shoot.In desperation, Danny Granger had no choice but to pass the ball, and the ball came to Xu Nuo again.

"Promise got the ball!" Jeff Van Gundy yelled.

Xu Nuo couldn't help but frowned slightly. At this time, Oklahoma City Thunder's main point guard Russell Westbrook had moved quickly, once again blocking between Xu Nuo and the basket.Seeing that the attack time is about to enter the last ten seconds, a decision must be made now.

At this moment, Xu Nuo suddenly started and broke through Russell Westbrook's defense with the ball.Although Russell Westbrook's speed is also very fast and his body is also very explosive, it is difficult for anyone in the current NBA to keep up with the speed of Xu Xu when he breaks through the first step, even if he is in front of him. Serge Westbrook.Just when Russell Westbrook turned around and chased after Xu Nuo, Xu Nuo had already swept away most of his body.

"This kid, the speed is really too fast!" Russell Westbrook couldn't help admiring in his heart.

However, at this moment, Xu Nuo suddenly threw the ball in his hand high, and the ball was spinning rapidly in the air. Russell Westbrook couldn't figure out what the purpose of the ball was.

Just as the ball began to fall, Indiana Pacers shooting guard DeMar DeRozan suddenly jumped high, got the ball in the air, and then smashed the ball into the basket with one hand!Immediately, all the players on the Indiana Pacers bench jumped up excitedly. They probably didn't expect that the team's first score would be an alley-oop dunk!
"The intention of passing the ball is very hidden!" Russell Westbrook turned his head, looked at Xu Nuo's back, and thought in his heart.

And on the sidelines, Indiana Pacers head coach Larry Brown had a smile on his face.

In fact, at the beginning of the game, the Indiana Pacers did not completely concentrate the ball in the hands of Danny Granger alone.The other offensive core of the team is naturally-promise!
