Chapter 25 Stan Van Gundy's Troubles
As Orlando Magic coach Stan Van Gundy said, his opponent in this game is really difficult to deal with.

The Indiana Pacers played at home against the Orlando Magic. At the end of the first quarter, the two teams drew 22:22. This is indeed a bit of a surprise for the Orlando Magic, because before the game they all thought that The game will be very easy.So, starting from the second quarter of the game, the Orlando Magic began to strengthen their offensive firepower, leaving Gilbert Arenas, JJ-Redick and Ryan Anderson on the court. Blast the Indiana Pacers' defensive bunker from the perimeter.On the Indiana Pacers side, it was an all-replacement lineup, Tyler Hansbrough replaced David West, who played well in the first quarter, and the point guard position became Substitute AJ Price.

To be honest, Xu Nuo doesn't want to rest now, because he has just started to play, steals Jameer Nelson and dunks one after another, suppresses Jameer Nelson on both ends of the offense and defense, and even knocks Gilbert Arenas to the ground alive. All these made Xu Nuo's self-confidence skyrocket. If Coach Larry Brown hadn't ordered him to rest, Xu Nuo really didn't want to stop himself.At this time, Xu Nuo was sitting on the bench of the Indiana Pacers, watching the game on the court almost without blinking his eyes, as if he was always preparing to fight again on the field, at this time, Luo, who was sitting next to Xu Nuo, E. Hibbert chatted with him about the shot that promised to knock down Gilbert Arenas.

"Seriously man, that ball you knocked down Arenas was so beautiful!" Roy Hibbert said excitedly to Xu Nuo, "Seriously, this is the first time I've seen a Rookies play old players like that."

"Playing?" Xu Nuo frowned, "This word doesn't seem very nice."

"Anyway, that shot you knocked Arenas down was really good." David West, who was still drinking Gatorade not long after the end of the field, also came over and said, "I bet your shot The ball will definitely be in the top ten of the day."

"It's just a ball in the game." Xu Nuo said.

"You may not pay much attention to this shot yourself," Roy Hibbert said, "but the media is going to blow it up. You heard that Allen Iverson was in the game Knock down that Michael Jordan shot?" he asked.

"Yes, I've heard of it and seen it," Xu Nuo nodded and said, "What happened to that ball?"

"After that ball, almost all the media are saying that this ball is an alternation between the old and new kings," Roy Hibbert said, "And your ball is the same as that of Iverson back then. The balls are very similar!"

Xu Nuo laughed. "I can't bear to compare me with Allen Iverson," he said. "To be honest, it's just a ball in a game."

Roy Hibbert snorted through his nostrils, "Forget it if you don't believe me," he said, "I suggest you read the newspaper tomorrow, the news will definitely praise you for this goal, probably someone said……"

"Some people say that I am the successor of John Stockton, right?" Xu Nuo continued, "Please, a pure point guard like John Stockton rarely uses that in the game. In the current NBA, aren’t there a lot of players who knock defenders to the ground?”

"Yeah," said David West next to him, "When I was with the New Orleans Hornets, I saw Chris Paul knock his man to the ground a lot. Honestly, man, you should have had a one-on-one bullfight with Chris," he said to Promise.

"It will be a matter of time to play against Chris Paul," Xu Nuo said lightly, "but for now let's focus on our game."

David West curled his lips and ignored the promise.

At this time, Gilbert Arenas on the court seems to have not recovered from the shadow of being shaken by the promise, and he also looks dejected and listless on the court.Magic coach Stan Van Gundy kept Arenas on the court in order to maintain the team's offensive firepower on the outside, but Arenas' shooting percentage was not high. He made 3 of [-] shots and [-] of [-] free throws. , Only scored a poor [-] points.Coach Stan Van Gundy couldn't help but sigh when he saw this situation, thinking that having such a player on the team is really a big burden on the team.He turned to look at the team's bench, saw Jameer Nelson's absent-minded eyes, suppressed the anger in his heart, and pointed to the team's other backup point guard, so the Orlando Magic's point guard Replaced by Chris Duhon.

At this time, coach Larry Brown of the Indiana Pacers came to Xu Nuo.

"Promise, get ready to play." Coach Larry Brown said to Promise.

"Me?" Xu Nuo was taken aback, and couldn't help but glance at the team's starting point guard, Darren Collison, who had already put on a sports coat and sat in his seat looking relaxed. Watching the game on the field.

Coach Larry Brown seemed to see through the meaning of the promise, and he couldn't help laughing. You must know that smiles have always been a rare visitor on Coach Larry Brown's face.I just heard him say to Xu Nuo: "This is just a preseason game, and the main players are your substitute players. The main players don't need to play for a long time. Besides, you are performing much better than Darren now. Could it be Don't you want to play?"

"I am willing!" Xu Nuo immediately jumped up. He knew that playing under Coach Larry Brown, it was best not to disobey the order of the head coach. Moreover, as the honor of Coach Larry Brown, he spoke to himself calmly. This rookie player already values ​​himself very much.Xu Nuo took off the jacket he had just put on, and came to the scorer's table to get ready to play.

But the one who is about to play is not the one who promised himself, Paul George is also warming up and preparing to play.After the Orlando Magic made a pass error and the ball flew directly out of bounds, Xu Nuo and Paul George debuted.Promise replaced AJ Price, who played so-so, and Paul George replaced his hometown James Posey, so that James Posey could get enough rest time.

"Hey, rookie!" Paul George smiled and said to Xu Nuo, "Don't forget to pass the ball to me later!"

"I know, senior!" Xu Nuo also said to Paul George with a smile. Although Paul George has always called Xu Nuo a "newcomer", in fact, he himself has only been in the NBA for only a year.

Just when Xu Nuo appeared on stage with Paul George, Xu Nuo heard the commentator on the scene shout loudly: "The ankle terminator is on the stage again!"

Xu Nuo knew that the commentator was talking about himself, and he was also talking about the ball he knocked down Arenas just now.Just when he broke through Arenas, Xu Nuo heard the commentator shout out the word "ankle terminator". Thinking about it, I feel that this word is quite vivid.It's just that it's a little disrespectful to Arenas to always mention the ball that knocked Arenas down over and over again.Thinking of this, Xu Nuo couldn't help but glanced at Gilbert Arenas who was sitting on the bench of the Orlando Magic, seeing Arenas' dull expression, he couldn't help but shrugged, "Just pretend I didn't see anything. " Xu Nuo said to himself.

Orlando Magic head coach Stan Van Gundy's eyes turned red when he saw Promise make another appearance.Just now at the end of the first quarter of the game, he asked his assistant to collect information about Xu Nuo, only to find that Xu Nuo was the rookie player who had come to Orlando for trial training but he didn't like it very much. This made Stan Van Gundy The coach was even more angry in his heart.Stan Van Gundy couldn't stand his team being beaten by one of his waivers. He stood on the sidelines and almost yelled at his point guard Chris Duhon.

"Chris, give me a good look at that kid!" Coach Stan Van Gundy yelled, "You must never let that kid get carried away again, you must beat him for me!"

Originally, Stan Van Gundy wanted to shout a few more words, but when he saw that the referee on duty was about to walk towards him, he had no choice but to return to his coach's bench and sit down angrily.Chris Duhon looked at his head coach in surprise. Of course he knew that Coach Stan Van Gundy meant to let himself defend Xu Nuo and prevent Xu Nuo from having another chance to perform, but he really didn't expect that he would My head coach would be pissed off like that.

Xu Nuo pouted, trying not to let himself be influenced by Stan Van Gundy.He took Tyler Hansbrough's serve and started the attack.

"You guys did a good job today." Chris Duhon said while defending.

"It's just a small meaning." Xu Nuo said lightly.

"Then see if you can beat me." Chris Duhon continued.

"Then you just wait to be humiliated." As soon as Xu Nuo finished speaking, he suddenly accelerated and started. Chris Duhon wanted to follow up with Xu Nuo, but Xu Nuo suddenly made an emergency stop and took a step back to the three-point line. Outside raised his hand, Chris Duhon thought that Xu Nuo was about to shoot, and rushed out to block Xu Nuo, but Xu Nuo did not shoot, but passed the ball out the moment Chris Duhon pounced, Paul · George received the ball and went straight to the basket, facing the Orlando Magic's backup center Daniel Orton with a small floater.

"Dude, what a pass!" Paul George grinningly shouted at Xu Nuo.

Xu Nuo smiled lightly, ignoring the angry eyes of Stan Van Gundy on the sidelines.
