super point guard

Chapter 324 Ace VS Ace
As the on-field commentator Jeff Van Gundy said, after the timeout expired and the game resumed, the two main stars of the Oklahoma City Thunder, small forward Kevin Durant and point guard Russell Wayne. Springsbrook is back on the court.At the same time, James Harden, who is the team's sixth man, still stayed on the court. In this way, the Thunder's three young men stood on the court at the same time again.

"Coach Scott Brooks put his three core players on the court, obviously intending to put all his eggs in one basket to catch up with the score!" Indiana Pacers chief assistant coach Brian Shaw said.

"But now the point difference is only six points. There is no need for coach Scott Brooks to do this. After all, there is still a lot of time left in the game." Beside coach Brian Shaw, Indiana Pacers coach Larry Coach Brown clasped his hands and said, "And James Harden has played on the court for nearly 8 minutes in a row, so there must be some physical problems!"

"Maybe we can make tactical arrangements for this point." Coach Brian Xiao said.

Coach Larry Brown didn't say anything more, just looked at his disciples who had already stepped onto the court, and nodded slightly.

After this timeout, the three core players of the Indiana Pacers also returned to the court at the same time. The head small forward Danny Granger, the main point guard Xu Nuo and the center Roy Hibbert all returned to the court. , only the positions of shooting guard and power forward are still held by substitute players OJ Mayo and Tyler Hansbrough.Xu Nuo walked onto the court with his head down, looked at the floor under his feet, but kept thinking in his mind.

"It seems that Danny will definitely compete with Kevin Durant on the offensive end." Xu Nuo thought in his heart, "What Jeff Van Gundy said just now has obviously angered Danny. , It is very likely that it will lead to a direct collision between Danny and Kevin Durant. However, James Harden at this time is definitely not as physically strong as when he just played, and Irvington is facing James Harden It will never be a disadvantage at the moment. It would be even better if Irvington can play his own offensive firepower. But in this case, there will definitely be a ball conflict between Danny and Irvington..."

At this time, Mike Callahan, the referee on duty for the game, blew his whistle, interrupting Xu Nuo's thinking.Xu Nuo had to concentrate, bent down to face the Oklahoma City Thunder's main point guard Russell Westbrook who was holding the ball forward.

"The only thing we can do is defend first." Xu Nuo said in his heart.

The Oklahoma City Thunder still handed the ball to the team's star Kevin Durant on the offensive end. Kevin Durant got the ball near the zero angle on the right side of the court and faced Dan with the ball. Ni Granger.Danny Granger was more oppressive when defending than before, but in Xu Nuo's view, it was more of an element of anger.

"This will actually affect the defense against Kevin Durant!" Xu Nuo whispered to himself.

At this moment, Kevin Durant suddenly swayed the ball, and Danny Granger mistakenly thought that Kevin Durant was going to break through to his right, so he moved hurriedly, preparing to block Kevin Durant's breakthrough route .However, at this moment, Kevin Durant started immediately, and instead slipped to the bottom line from Danny Granger's left hand! "Hurry up and fill the seat!" Xu Nuo shouted immediately.

However, although power forward Tyler Hansbrough moved quickly to block Kevin Durant, who had already slammed into the team's penalty area, Kevin Durant still faced Taylor Hansbrough's defense high Leap up, grab the ball and rush to the hoop. "That guy actually intends to dunk on Taylor's head!" Xu Nuo murmured.

"You don't want to succeed!" Tyler Hansbrough growled, and also jumped up to block Kevin Durant's dunk, but Taylor Hansbrough's hand hit Kevin Durant on the wrist.With Kevin Durant's dunk, the whistle of the referee Mike Callahan's mouth sounded at the same time.

"Tyler Hansbrough was fouled by a thug! Kevin Durant's dunk counts, plus a free throw!" The referee Mike Callahan ignored Taylor Hansbrough's complaints and made a gesture resolutely.

"Damn guy!" Tyler Hansbrough and Danny Granger cursed in a low voice at the same time.

With Kevin Durant's extra penalty hit steadily, the Oklahoma City Thunder at home are only three points behind the Indiana Pacers on the road.And just after Kevin Durant made an extra free throw, the Indiana Pacers once again requested a substitution. The main power forward David West replaced Tyler Hansbrough and returned to the court.

"At this time, the two teams on the court are almost fighting with their full main lineup, and in the duel between the main players, the Oklahoma City Thunder undoubtedly won the first round." In the commentary booth beside the court , On-site commentator Jeff Van Gundy said, "Now that there are only three points left, the Oklahoma City Thunder's plan to catch up and overtake the score seems to be getting easier and easier."

Danny Granger glanced at Jeff Van Gundy on the sidelines, and the murderous look in his eyes soared.After Xu Nuo dribbled to the frontcourt, Danny Granger immediately raised his arms high and asked Xu Nuo for the ball.

"Sure enough..." Xu Nuo said in a low voice.

Given that Danny Granger is the team's top scorer, Xu Nuo had to hand the ball to Danny Granger.Since James Harden was the shooting guard for the Oklahoma City Thunder at this time, Thabo Sefolosha, the Oklahoma City Thunder player who was in charge of marking Danny Granger before, was still sitting on the court Down, so when Danny Granger gets the ball, the Oklahoma City Thunder player standing on Danny Granger becomes Kevin Durant! "It's finally the moment!" Danny Granger said bitterly.

At the same time, the promise on the field and coach Larry Brown off the field frowned at Danny Granger's every move at the same time, wondering what method Danny Granger would use to deal with Kevin Duran special.And after a few dribbles, Danny Granger suddenly jumped up and shot from outside the three-point line against Kevin Durant's defense!
"You actually have to force a long three-point shot from the outside!" After seeing Danny Granger jumping up from outside the three-point line, Xu Nuo couldn't help being surprised. "Such a shot is quite difficult!" Xu Nuo whispered to himself.

Sure enough, the ball thrown by Danny Granger hit the basket's neck heavily and bounced high.Oklahoma City Thunder spring man Serge Ibaka jumps high to grab a defensive rebound off David West's head.After Russell Westbrook got the ball, he immediately launched a quick counterattack, and Xu Nuo struggled to stay close to Russell Westbrook.Nevertheless, Russell Westbrook still assisted Kevin Durant to score an alley-oop dunk, helping the team chase the score to 35:36, and the point difference between the two teams became only one point again!
"The Oklahoma City Thunder is going to show its true strength!" Jeff Van Gundy, the field commentator on the sidelines, said loudly.

Xu Nuo snorted coldly, then walked to Danny Granger.

"Calm down!" Xu Nuo said to Danny Granger.

However, Danny Granger didn't say anything, just glanced at Xu Xu, and then walked away.Xu Nuo was silent, but he already knew what he should do in his heart.

"If I were Coach Larry Brown, I would replace Danny and let Danny calm down." Xu Nuo thought to himself, "It's better not to hand the ball to Danny now, maybe Consider handing the ball to Irvington, after all, his opponent is James Harden whose physical strength has declined..."

Therefore, in the next attack, Xu Nuo ignored Danny Granger who was still asking for the ball, and handed the ball to OJ Mayo. OJ Mayo beat James Harden one-on-one, driving to the Oklahoma City Thunder for a layup after breaking through James Harden's defense.

"Sure enough!" Xu Nuo and coach Larry Brown said to themselves at the same time.

Perhaps Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Russell Westbrook also saw the advantage Kevin Durant had in front of Danny Granger and continued to hand the ball to Kevin Durant on offense. rand.After receiving the ball, Kevin Durant made a three-pointer directly in front of Danny Granger, and the ball went into the net with a "swipe" sound!
"It's finally tied!" Jeff Van Gundy said loudly, and at the same time, there was a burst of cheers from the fans around the stadium, which could almost blow the ceiling of the Chesapeake Energy Arena. Overturned.

"Tsk tsk tsk..." Xu Nuo looked at the crazy fans around him and shook his head helplessly.

However, Kevin Durant's wonderful performance did not end there. After he made a mid-range shot, the home team Oklahoma City Thunder successfully overtook the score with 40:38!Coach Larry Brown had no choice but to request a timeout, and the home team fans in the Chesapeake Energy Arena looked even crazier.

"It seems that Danny is still slightly inferior in the ace duel with Kevin Durant!" Xu Nuo sighed in his heart as he walked towards the team's bench.
