Chapter 331 The Moment of Promise
After the 20-second timeout ended, the Oklahoma City Thunder had a significant offensive change. The ball was no longer concentrated in Kevin Durant's hands, and every player on the court had a chance When you get the ball, you have the opportunity to attack with the ball.Oklahoma City Thunder center Kendrick Perkins was the No.1 shooter after the game restarted, but Kendrick Perkins' hook shot failed to hit the basket.

"I really don't understand why the Thunder players let Kendrick Perkins shoot. Don't they know that Kendrick Perkins' shooting is actually not good?" Xu Nuo was puzzled. thought.

"It seems that they want to focus on the team as a whole and strive to bring out the best of the team." Coach Larry Brown, who was sitting on the sidelines of the court, murmured with his eyes shining.

Despite Kendrick Perkins' missed shot, power forward Serge Ibaka leapt high to put the ball in before David West and Roy Hibbert got it. into his arms.Immediately afterwards, Serge Ibaka didn't put the ball down at all, but held it high and hit Roy Hibbert's defensive shot.

"This ball fully demonstrated Serge Ibaka's excellent physical fitness and good offensive awareness." On-site commentator Jeff Van Gundy said, "However, after a lapse of nearly 3 minutes, Oklaho It was really not easy for the Macheng Thunder to score the team's second goal in this game!"

"If they really stop concentrating the ball in the hands of one person, but rely on the strength of all the players on the team, it will be much more difficult for us to defend..." Promise from DeMar DeRozan After receiving the ball, he dribbled the ball forward and thought to himself.

As soon as Xu Nuo dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, power forward David West immediately mentioned the high position to do a pick-and-roll for Xu Nuo. After Xu Nuo used David West's screen to get rid of Russell Westbrook, Xu Nuo suddenly found In front of him, there was a passage leading directly to the basket of the Oklahoma City Thunder.Xu Nuo knew in his heart that this passage was made by Danny Granger and the others by taking advantage of the opponent's defensive attention to them. Without thinking about it, he immediately started to kill towards the Oklahoma City Thunder's basket.

"What's going on?" On the sidelines of the court, Oklahoma City Thunder coach Scott Brooks shouted, pointing to the promise of a breakthrough with the ball, "How can we let the opponent break through us so easily?" line of defense?"

However, the voice of coach Scott Brooks has not yet landed, and power forward Serge Ibaka has moved quickly, promising to make up defense.However, Xu Nuo evaded Serge Ibaka's defense with a simple behind-the-back dribble, and then went to the Oklahoma City Thunder basket for an easy layup.Coach Scott Brooks folded his hands with a helpless expression on his face.

"There are so many people in our inside line, and he still broke in!" Coach Scott Brooks thought angrily in his heart.

However, the Oklahoma City Thunder players are younger than the Indiana Pacers players, and their reaction speed and action speed are also faster.Immediately after promising a layup, Oklahoma City Thunder shooting guard Thabo Sefolosha served the ball from the baseline, and Russell Westbrook rushed forward with the ball at high speed.At this time, the Indiana Pacers' defense has not yet settled down, only Xu Nuo is struggling to chase Russell Westbrook.After reaching the front court, Russell Westbrook immediately passed the ball, and Kevin Durant on the other side of the court received the ball from outside the three-point line, and immediately made a steady three-pointer from the outside. In an instant, only three points remained.

"Did you see? You are much slower than us in terms of speed and movement speed." Russell Westbrook turned around and said to Xu Xu standing behind him.

"Oh?" Xu Nuo frowned slightly, and said calmly, "Do you think so?"

Russell Westbrook didn't answer, but with a slightly contemptuous smile on his face, he turned and ran towards his team's half.However, when Russell Westbrook turned around and prepared to defend, Russell Westbrook was almost taken aback.

Because, at this time, the promise is almost in front of him!

"Too fast!" Russell Westbrook murmured, "Couldn't this kid be cheating?"

"Hey, Russell, you don't need to be so surprised." Seeing the surprised look on Russell Westbrook's face, Xu Nuo couldn't help but smile.At this moment, Xu Nuo suddenly stopped in front of Russell Westbrook, and before Russell Westbrook could react, Xu Nuo had already started again, crossing over and passing Russell Westbrook in front of him. Westbrook, then took the ball straight to the Oklahoma City Thunder basket!

"That brat Russell, what are you doing!" Coach Scott Brooks on the sidelines thought bitterly.

While promising to get rid of Russell Westbrook and rush to the inside of the Oklahoma City Thunder with the ball, the two major inside players of the Oklahoma City Thunder, Kendrick Perkins and Sergey Ibaka moved at the same time, trying to block Xu Nuo's progress.Although Xu Nuo had just entered the penalty area and was still a long way from the basket, Xu Nuo still threw the ball in his hand towards the basket.Both Kendrick Perkins and Serge Ibaka couldn't jump up to interfere with the promised shot, and could only watch the ball fly over their heads.

Behind the promise, Russell Westbrook was also looking at the ball rolling in the air.

"Don't go in!" Russell Westbrook prayed silently in his heart.

However, Russell Westbrook's prayers were in vain, and the ball was still firmly hollow into the net.Xu Nuo raised his arms high and clenched his hands into fists.

"Nine times out of ten!" Xu Nuo said with a smile.

"After Danny Granger scored eight points in a row, Xu Nuo also scored four points in a row. Up to now, all the points scored by the Indiana Pacers have been obtained by Danny Granger and Xu Nuo. "The game commentator Jeff Van Gundy said, "The reason why the Indiana Pacers did this is definitely not random. It is obviously aimed at the Oklahoma City Thunder's Kevin Durant. Both Serre and Westbrook!"

As he bent down, ready to start letting go, Xu squinted at Jeff Van Gundy, who was sitting in the courtside commentary box.When I was still in China, Xu Nuo, who was just a fan at the time, didn't like Jeff Van Gundy, then the head coach of the Houston Rockets. Now Xu Nuo doesn't like Jeff Van Gundy even more.Xu Nuo snorted coldly, and started to face Russell Westbrook who dribbled the ball in front of him.

Although Kevin Durant once again made a mid-range shot under Danny Granger's defense, Xu Nuo quickly assisted Danny Granger and David West for a layup on the offensive end Score. At 16:9, the Indiana Pacers, who were playing away from home, turned their backs and led the Oklahoma City Thunder at home by seven points!

"It's only halfway through the first quarter, but as the main point guard of the Indiana Pacers, Promise has already scored five assists!" The center is mainly based on passing organization, but despite this, Xu Nuo himself also scored four points!"

Coach Scott Brooks, who was sitting on the coaching bench of the Oklahoma City Thunder, couldn't help but bury his head deeply in his arms. Now coach Scott Brooks began to be troubled by a problem that troubled the owners of the 29 teams in the league. The coach's question predominates, which is—

How exactly should a promise be constrained at its best?
This question once plagued the three team coaches of Stan Van Gundy, Eric Spoelstra and Doug Rivers in this playoffs. In front of Coach Scott Brooks.

However, coach Doc Rivers has Rajon Rondo in his hands, and coach Scott Brooks has Russell Westbrook in his hands. The two of them will not be like coach Stan Van Gundy and Eric Coach Spoelstra is too entangled like that.

Still, the question is a pretty serious one.

At this moment, Xu Nuo on the court received a return pass from inside power forward David West, and made a long three-pointer from the outside! At 19:11, the Indiana Pacers had an eight-point lead over the Oklahoma City Thunder!
"The moment of promise!" exclaimed Jeff Van Gundy, the on-site commentator. The aura of promises at the time has undoubtedly covered up Danny Granger's performance! Since the start of the game, the performance of the two of them has been almost perfect!"

Listening to Jeff Van Gundy's almost incoherent explanation, Xu Nuo couldn't help showing a slight sneer at the corner of his mouth.

Coach Scott Brooks shook his head helplessly, had to get up again and asked for a long timeout.In the first timeout, the focus of the Indiana Pacers' bench was Danny Granger, and this time around, the focus of the bench turned to promises.

"You played really well!" Danny Granger patted Xu Nuo's shoulder lightly and said with a smile.
