Chapter 329 Interview
The Indiana Pacers lost to the home team Oklahoma City Thunder by only four points in the first game of the Finals, which made the entire Indiana Pacers team, including those team staff, feel a sigh of relief. gas.After all, the team once had a great chance to win the game, but fell short in the last few minutes.So, from the moment the final whistle sounded in the first game, the Indiana Pacers coaching staff immediately focused on the next second game.

"We firmly believe that our team is fully capable of defeating the Oklahoma City Thunder!" In an interview with reporters, coach Brian Shaw, the chief assistant coach of the Indiana Pacers, said, "Actually, if not Kevin Durant exploded in the last moments of the game, and now it's our Indiana Pacers who hold the initiative in the series!"

The team's coaching staff attributed the team's loss to the sudden outburst of Oklahoma City Thunder's head small forward Kevin Durant at the last moment of the game. However, in the hearts of the players, everyone thought that even if Kevin Durant Durant suddenly exploded, and the team also had a chance to win the game.In the case of Kevin Durant scoring twelve points in a row, the team still only lost to the opponent by four points, which is the most powerful proof.

On the morning before the start of the second series, after the Indiana Pacers completed the team's regular training, as the team's number one star captain Danny Granger issued a declaration of victory in this battle in front of many news media.

"Even though we were on the road, and even though we were up against an Oklahoma City Thunder team with three great young players, we didn't lag behind in the game at all." Danny Granger Facing many journalists who swarmed up, he said, "Even if Kevin Durant scored twelve points in a row at the last moment of the game, we still have a chance to win the game. In this game tonight, Only we can win!"

While Danny Granger was being interviewed by many journalists, Xu Nuo shot his last shot in this training session. After waiting for the ball to go into the net, Xu Nuo put the ball away and turned straight to the player locker room go.Originally, Xu Nuo planned to avoid the crowd of journalists and avoid all kinds of questions they might ask, but Xu Nuo couldn't dodge at all.When Xu Nuo walked past the group of media reporters, more than half of the reporters who were interviewing Danny Granger immediately ran over and surrounded Xu Nuo.

"Alas..." Xu Nuo sighed helplessly, "I still can't escape!"

As for Danny Granger, who was standing by the side, although he was used to this kind of situation, his face still had a slight embarrassment.Although there were still many media reporters in front of him so he didn't say it directly, Danny Granger was quite critical: "Hey, it seems that this kid is much more popular than me, the head star..."

In desperation, Xu Nuo had no choice but to stop, ready to meet the long guns and short guns of those reporters.But in a slight glance, Xu Nuo saw Danny Granger's face next to him, and couldn't help but let out a soft "oh".

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

"In the first game, you got the 'big data' of [-] points and [-] assists. You have tried your best in the game, but this performance did not help the team win. Distance The time for the second game is getting closer, I wonder if you have a better way to help the team win this game tonight?" A young man asked and promised.

Such a question was asked without any concealment, Xu Nuo couldn't help frowning slightly. "In a game like the NBA Finals, as players, we naturally have to do our best in the game." Xu Nuo said, "However, the opponent's point guard Russell Westbrook is a better player." Guys, it's a tough job trying to stop him. If I can stop Russell Westbrook in the game, that's a great contribution to the team."

Hearing what Xu Nuo said, Danny Granger next to him couldn't help turning his head slightly to look at Xu Nuo.

"If you put most of your energy on defending Russell Westbrook, will it affect your offensive performance?" Another middle-aged reporter asked.

"Of course there is an impact, but I will try my best to minimize this impact." Xu Nuo folded his hands on his chest and said, "Now my main contribution on the offensive end lies in breakthroughs and passing. Most of the scoring comes from defensive counterattacks. Most of the time, our team's offensive burden is borne by our top scorer, Danny. We all believe that Danny will complete his work well. Task."

"But Danny Granger's performance in the first game was not as good as before. Do you think this is what caused the team to lose?" A female reporter asked.

"I personally think that the main reason for our loss in the last game was the defense, especially the defense against the opponent's star Kevin Durant." Xu Nuo frowned slightly and said, "In the last game , we got Kevin Durant forty points, when Kevin Durant can score that much in a game, it's going to be hard for any team to beat Oklahoma City The Thunder. Danny scored nearly [-] points in the last game, which is pretty good data, but we failed to do better on the defensive end."

Originally, those reporters wanted to ask more questions, but under the constant urging of the Indiana Pacers team's public relations, those reporters had to end the interview early and slowly left the arena.Xu Nuo secretly breathed a sigh of relief, turned and walked towards the players' locker room.

However, when Xu Nuo walked into the visiting team's locker room in the Chesapeake Energy Arena, there was no one in the locker room.Some training clothes were piled haphazardly on the chairs in front of the locker, obviously someone had just been there. "I guess everyone should go wash it up." Xu Nuo murmured to himself.

At this moment, the door behind him creaked open, and Danny Granger, who also just finished the interview, walked in.Xu Nuo remembered the change in Danny Granger's face just now, and didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Hey, buddy, what kind of tactics do you think we should use to deal with Kevin Durant in tonight's game?" Danny Granger said as he walked towards his locker. Said so.

Seeing that Danny Granger spoke to himself first, Xu Nuo couldn't help but secretly heaved a sigh of relief again. "Kevin Durant is indeed a very difficult player to guard against. The strength of one player alone is far from enough." Xu Nuo said, "I think in terms of tactical strategies to defend Kevin Durant , Coach Larry Brown should have already made arrangements."

Danny Granger nodded silently, walked to his locker and sat down, and began to take off his training clothes.

"But I think we can think of ways on the offensive end." After a moment of silence, Xu Nuo said.

"Oh?" Danny Granger, who was bending over to adjust his shoes, immediately straightened up when he heard what Xu Nuo said, "What do you think?" Danny Granger asked.

"It's natural to find ways to give you a better chance to shoot and score." Xu Nuo continued, "Although we can't completely limit Kevin Durant on the defensive end, we can still use offense to contain Kevin Duran. Special. If we can help you get as many points as Kevin Durant, at least we won't suffer too much. Only in this way can we help the team win."

"Really?" Danny Granger said calmly.

"In tonight's game, I will definitely do my best to help you defeat Kevin Durant!" Xu Nuo said, his face couldn't help but become serious, "Although I rarely You're playing against Kevin Durant in the middle, but I can use the passing organization to help you beat Kevin Durant. At the end of the game, you will find that your scoring is not comparable to Kevin Durant There is almost no difference between the top and the bottom." Speaking of this, Xu Nuo showed a smile on his face, a confident smile.

"I will definitely do my best in tonight's game!" Danny Granger stopped what he was doing, and said in a cold tone, "I must show that guy Kevin Durant, I am fully capable of defeating him! We also want to let the Oklahoma City Thunder take a good look, our Indiana Pacers are also fully capable of winning the NBA championship! Tonight's game, we Must win!"

Seeing Danny Granger declaring that this battle must be won with the same confidence as in the interview just now, Xu Nuo nodded emphatically.

When Game [-] of the Finals series began, the players of the Oklahoma City Thunder suddenly found that their opponents seemed to be two completely different teams than they had in Game [-].In the first game, the Indiana Pacers looked just like a young team. However, at this time, the entire Indiana Pacers exuded an aura of giving up, and It is difficult for a team that reached the finals for the first time to have such an momentum.

"It seems that this opponent can't be underestimated tonight!" Oklahoma City Thunder coach Scott Brooks sat on the sidelines of the court, and couldn't help but start to feel a little worried.
