super point guard

Chapter 342

Oklahoma City Thunder head coach Scott Brooks placed Kevin Durant in the minutes leading up to the fourth quarter in order to give his star star Kevin Durant enough energy for the final game. · Durant on the bench.It's just that the point guard Russell Westbrook was young and determined to play. Coach Scott Brooks had no choice but to agree to Russell Westbrook's request and send Russell Westbrook to play. Brook enters.

As a result, the Oklahoma City Thunder's lineup changed to point guard Russell Westbrook, shooting guard James Harden, small forward Thabo Sefolosha, power forward Nick Collison and center Cole Aldridge, among which the backup center Cole Aldridge is completely just a role as cannon fodder, is not important at all.Coach Larry Brown arranged tactics based on this point, using the offense of backup center JJ-Hickson to score consecutive points.After JJ-Hickson broke through Cole Aldridge's defensive dunk with the ball, the Indiana Pacers have led the Oklahoma City Thunder by as much as nine points 80:71!
"Even if our internal strength is inferior to our opponents, we can completely rely on the outside to deal with our opponents. Whether it is Harden or Russell, they have enough strength to defeat each other!" Derek, the old point guard of the team · Fisher proposed to coach Scott Brooks.

The reason why coach Scott Brooks sent Cole Aldridge and Nick Collison to the field was to make the team based on defense, hoping to score through defensive counterattacks.However, the team's defense was weak, and there was no way to talk about defensive counterattacks. Suddenly, the players on the court seemed not to know how to play.After Derek Fisher made a suggestion, coach Scott Brooks made decisive adjustments and shifted the focus of the game from defense to offense.

After coach Scott Brooks made adjustments, the effect was quickly received. Two backcourt players, Russell Westbrook and James Harden, assisted each other to score respectively. The Oklahoma City Thunder Chasing four points in a row.However, soon, OJ Mayo broke through James Harden's defense on the offensive end and made a layup inside the Oklahoma City Thunder.

"No matter how good your offense is, if the defense can't keep up, it will be very difficult to reverse the game!" Xu Nuo, who was sitting under the court, folded his hands and said.

Just after OJ Mayo scored a layup, coach Scott Brooks made a decisive substitution, sending star star Kevin Durant on the field ahead of schedule, replacing point guard Russell Westbrook.For this substitution of Coach Scott Brooks, Xu Nuo did not understand the purpose of Coach Scott Brooks for a while.

"Coach Scott Brooks replaced Kevin Durant with Russell Westbrook, so they don't have any point guards on the court anymore?" Indiana Pacers The team's chief assistant coach, Coach Brian Shaw, told Coach Larry Brown.

"No," Coach Larry Brown shook his head, "it's not like they don't have point guards."

"Could it be that James Harden is sent to play point guard?" Coach Brian Shaw asked.

Coach Larry Brown nodded slightly, and after a while, Coach Larry Brown said again: "However, this should not be their direct purpose."

"Oh?" Coach Brian Shaw frowned suspiciously and looked towards the court.Soon, Coach Brian Shaw looked at Coach Larry Brown again in surprise.

"Are they going to use Thabo Sefolosha to defend Irvington?" Coach Brian Shaw asked slightly surprised.

"That's right!" Coach Larry Brown nodded and said with a serious face.

Hearing this, Xu Nuo turned his attention to the court again, and couldn't help showing worry.

"Thabo Sefolosha is one of the best perimeter defensive experts in the Thunder. If he is allowed to defend Irvington, then Irvington's offense will be severely restricted!" Xu Nuo said worriedly.

"It's okay," Danny Granger, who was sitting next to Xu Nuo, patted Xu Nuo's shoulder lightly, "I think Irvington and the others will definitely think of a solution to the problem!"

On the Indiana Pacers' first possession since the Scott Brooks coaching change, OJ Mayo's drive drive was intercepted by Thabo Sefolosha and the Oklahoma City Thunder took advantage of the defense The counterattack quickly scored two points.George Hill took the ball from Rudy Fernandez, faced James Harden's full court defense, and dribbled forward with all his strength.

At this moment, George Hill suddenly discovered that Rudy Fernandez was already at his best shooting point—beyond the corner three-point line, so George Hill passed the ball directly to Rudy Fernandez.But just as Rudy Fernandez received the ball, Kevin Durant was already in front of him.Rudy Fernandez had to pass again, and the ball came to OJ Mayo at the top of the arc.

"Hey..." Seeing OJ Mayo receive the ball, Sapo Sefolosha had a smile on his face, and he came to OJ Mayo in an instant!

"It's Sapo Sefolosha again!" Xu Nuo said angrily.

Facing Thabo Sefolosha, OJ Mayo suddenly turned and passed the ball after a breakthrough, and the ball came to George Hill outside the three-point line.George Hill shot immediately after receiving the ball, the ball went over the heads of the players of the two teams, and went straight into the net with a "swipe" sound!
"It's a three-pointer!" the on-site commentator Reggie Miller said loudly, "Facing the perimeter defensive expert Sabo Sefolosha, this time OJ Mayo did not choose to break through with the ball himself, but to use the pass Ball to help teammates score! Now the Indiana Pacers' lead is back to eight points, and George Hill's three-pointer is really a key three-pointer!"

Oklahoma City Thunder head coach Scott Brooks got up and asked for a timeout with a grim face.Coach Scott Brooks knows in his heart that this time has come to the critical stage of determining the outcome of the game. If the team still cannot reduce the point difference between the two teams to less than five points after this timeout, then the team's The situation will become precarious.

"The final decisive battle is finally coming!" Mark Jackson, another on-site commentator, said solemnly.

"Yeah!" Reggie Miller nodded and said, "With the arrival of the final battle, the pressure on the shoulders of the players of the two teams will increase. At this time, the game has completely become a game between the players of the two teams." It is a battle of willpower, if one side can withstand the pressure, then they will explode with a better performance, thus winning the final victory of the game!"

In the commentary of the two game commentators, Reggie Miller and Mark Jackson, the players of the two teams returned to the court again.After the timeout, both teams dispatched all their main players, and they are all ready to start the final decisive battle with their opponents!

Xu Nuo raised his head and glanced at the timer above the backboard, and saw that there were seven minutes and 37 seconds left before the end of the game.Immediately afterwards, Xu Nuo looked at the scoreboard again, and seeing the score of 85:77, he immediately felt a lot more relaxed.

"After all, the advantage is still on our side." Xu Nuo said to himself.

At this time, power forward David West had just walked past Xu Nuo, and after hearing Xu Nuo's words, he turned his head to look at Xu Nuo.

"Don't take it lightly, boy!" David West said to Xu Nuo, "If you relax a little, let alone an eight-point lead, an eighteen-point lead is very likely to be lost in a flash. Disappeared in between!"

Xu Nuo nodded silently and didn't say anything, but his vigilance once again increased in his heart.

After the game restarted, the Oklahoma City Thunder, who were on the field at the same time, aggressively attacked. Kevin Durant made the first attack, and James Harden followed up with a mid-range shot.However, the Indiana Pacers, who lost four points in a row, quickly scored four points in a row relying on the promised two consecutive assists, and the two teams still maintained an eight-point gap.After Russell Westbrook made a long three-pointer from the outside, Xu Nuo took the ball and broke through to the Thunder to score a layup to pay back. At 91:84, the Indiana Pacers at home lead the Oklahoma City Thunder on the road by seven points.

"There is less and less time left in the game. Without any major problems, the Pacers have almost secured the victory of this game!" said Derek Williams, who was sitting in the stands beside the court .

After the game, Derek Williams ran to the door of the Indiana Pacers' locker room and waited for promises.When Xu Nuo walked out of the locker room, Derek Williams slapped Xu Nuo on the shoulder.

"If you didn't see your performance with your own eyes, it would be hard for anyone to believe that you would play such a high level of data in the NBA Finals!" Derek Williams said loudly.

Xu Nuo smiled, "If one day you can also appear in the NBA Finals, I believe your performance will be even better." Xu Nuo said to Derek Williams.

"Wait, buddy!" Derek Williams said confidently, "One day, I will beat you in the finals!"

"Okay, I'm waiting for your challenge!" Xu Nuo said with a smile.

After speaking, Xu Nuo lightly took Ellen Page's shoulders, and the three of them walked out of the arena together.In the player parking garage outside the Conseco Arena, Promise's parents were already waiting there.
