super point guard

Chapter 33 Lore
Xu Nuo knows that now is the most critical moment in this game, and every moment and every action cannot be missed. Every mistake is likely to ruin the victory of this game and change the result of this game. The Indiana Pacers, who had dominated the field for most of the game, naturally did not want the close victory to slip through their fingers, so Xu Nuo began to be cautious when making moves.Fortunately, the Indiana Pacers, who are currently playing at home, are still ahead of their opponents, the Orlando Magic. Although the lead is only a slight one point, the players of the Indiana Pacers undoubtedly have the upper hand in terms of mentality.

But the Orlando Magic are not reconciled to failure. They can recover from the Indiana Pacers who were eight points behind at one point, so the current gap of one point is nothing, so the Orlando Magic began to attack Indiana frequently. Pacers basket.

Promise is facing off against Orlando Magic backup shooting guard Chris Duhon, so compared with his teammates, Promise's defensive task is relatively easy, because Chris Duhon has eaten before A technical foul, which made Chris Duhon timid in the game, for fear that he would be directly expelled by the referee on duty.Faced with the promise, Chris Duhon no longer took the initiative to attack by himself, and handed the ball to Hedo Turkoglu almost every time he dribbled to the frontcourt.

"Hey, Chris, keep attacking!" Xu Nuo said to Chris Duhon.

Chris Duhon glared at the promise, but there was nothing he could do about it.At this time, Jason Richardson's shot missed, and Danny Granger immediately put the backcourt rebound in his arms.Xu Nuo launched a quick counterattack immediately after getting the ball, and the Pacers formed a three-on-two situation in the frontcourt, but Xu Nuo found that Brandon Rush was entangled by Hedo Turkoglu, so Xu Nuo killed Jumping up from the basket, just when the players on the court thought that Xu Nuo would make a layup by himself, Xu Nuo suddenly flicked his wrist under the defense of Chris Duhon, and the ball flew to David West who was following up behind him In his hands, David West omitted even the most basic adjustments to catch the ball, and directly scored a dunk.The players on the Indiana Pacers bench all jumped up: 84:81, they have a three-point lead over the Magic!

When Xu Nuo returned to defense, he looked at the big screen above his head and saw that the remaining time of the game was less than 5 minutes. "If we can manage to hold on to this three-point advantage, the game will be ours!" he thought to himself.

Seeing that the point difference on the court was further widened, the Orlando Magic accelerated their offensive rhythm.Chris Duhon dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and the ball didn't stay in his hands for even a second, and it was passed directly to Hedo Turkoglu.Hedo Turkoglu stood on the right side of the court near the three-point line, facing Danny Granger with the ball, while Magic center Dwight Howard tried hard to get a position inside, but Jeff Foster's defense is very good, Dwight Howard has no way to get the best position.So Hedo Turkoglu had no choice but to break through by himself. He shook slightly and began to slip to the bottom line and forcefully break through towards the basket.Seeing that Turkoglu was about to break through Danny Granger's defense, center Jeff Foster left his defender Dwight Howard and rushed out to Turkoglu.Seeing this, Turkoglu made an emergency stop, and then jumped up under the pincer attack of Danny Granger and Jeff Foster. "Is he going to shoot forcibly?" Xu Nuo, who was watching this scene, thought in his heart, but Turkoglu didn't make a shot, but threw the ball lightly, and Dwight Howard caught the ball hard Smash the ball into the hoop!
This time it was the turn of the Magic's bench players to jump up, and the point difference on the court returned to one point again.

"It's really a critical moment of the game!" Xu Nuo thought in his heart, the hand that was dribbling and advancing suddenly became weak at this moment, and his movements changed a little.Chris Duhon, who was defending him, would not let go of this good opportunity to steal, and suddenly started to go straight to the ball.Xu Nuo was taken aback, but just before Chris Duhon touched the ball, Xu Nuo had reacted quickly. He cleverly avoided Chris Duhon's steal with a behind-the-back dribble. Chris Duhon I missed it.At this time, there was already an open field in front of Xu Nuo, because Chris Duhon, who was defending him, had lost his position.Xu promises that there is no time to think about it, and he will act immediately!
"We must go in!" Xu Nuo said in his heart, he even "heard" the sound of the ball hitting the net in his heart.

But the ball hit the basket's neck and bounced high.

"Bastard!" Xu Nuo cursed fiercely in his heart.

Dwight Howard jumped high to grab the crucial rebound and immediately threw it straight down the half court.Xu Nuo suddenly came to his senses: Chris Duhon was still behind him!But this time the promised reaction was a little bit late. When he turned around and started accelerating to chase Chris Duhon, Chris Duhon had already run into the paint area of ​​the Indiana Pacers No matter how fast the promised speed is, it is impossible to catch up with Chris Duhon, so he can only watch Chris Duhon easily score a layup.

At 84:85, the Indiana Pacers fell behind the Orlando Magic by one point. Coach Larry Brown, who was sitting off the court, saw that the situation was not good, so he immediately got up and called a 20-second timeout.

"I'm sorry, coach, it's all my fault for losing the ball this time." After walking to the bench, Xu Nuo immediately said guiltily to Coach Larry Brown.

"You're not wrong, boy." Coach Larry Brown said very fast, "Anyone would have shot that shot, and it's not your fault alone. But from now on, we must strengthen Breakthrough, increase the lethality of their inside, it is best to win the opportunity to score free throws."

"Understood!" Everyone said in unison.

Xu Nuo thought that Coach Larry Brown would replace him. After all, Darren Collison's performance was much more stable than his own, but Coach Larry Brown still let Xu Nuo stay on the court, which surprised Xu Nuo a little.When walking onto the court, Danny Granger patted Xu Nuo on the back, as if to comfort him, telling him not to be discouraged and keep working hard, Xu Nuo smiled unnaturally at Danny Granger .

After returning from the timeout, the Orlando Magic launched a full-court press defense. In the past, when facing a full-court press, Xu Nuo usually used his speed to get rid of the opponent, but now Xu Nuo found it difficult to get rid of the opponent's defense. Because it's not just Chris Duhon whose defensive attention is on Xu Nuo.Xu Nuo can only use his body to protect the ball while trying his best to move forward as fast as possible.At this time, Danny Granger came out to catch the ball, Xu Nuo immediately passed the ball out, Danny Granger took advantage of the Magic's defense instability and Jason Richardson hadn't settled down yet, Quickly passed the ball to Brandon Rush.After Brandon Rush received the ball, he immediately rushed towards the Magic's paint area according to the deployment of Coach Larry Brown.At this time, Brandon Bass, the power forward of the Magic team on the inside line, had already stood firmly. Brandon Rush bumped into Bass' body, and Bass fell down in response. The whistle in the mouth of the referee on duty sounded almost simultaneously. stand up.

"Offensive foul?" Xu Xu's first reaction was that Brandon Rush was called for an offensive foul, so the game would be very unfavorable to the Indiana Pacers.But after the on-duty referee showed his gesture, Xu Nuo discovered that the on-duty referee had called Brandon Bass for a blocking foul.

"Why block?" Brandon Bass got up from the floor almost immediately and went straight to the referee, and if Dwight Howard hadn't pulled Bass away from the referee in time, Brandon Bass Likely to get a technical foul for the constant chatter as well.At this time, the number of fouls committed by the Orlando Magic in a single quarter has reached the number of free throws. Brandon Rush walked to the free throw line and made two free throws steadily. At 86:85, the Indiana Pacers once again overtook the game. To the white-hot stage.

After Chris Duhon dribbled to the frontcourt, he stopped chattering at Xu Nuo, and Xu Nuo also focused on defending Chris Duhon, for fear that he would make another mistake like just now.Dwight Howard swayed at the rim twice in a row to reappear Indiana Pacers center Roy Hibbert and scored two goals in almost exactly the same way. With goals from Danny Granger and David West to bite the score.With Danny Granger's midrange jumper, the Indiana Pacers had a 90-89 lead over the Orlando Magic with one minute and five seconds to go.

"We will definitely win!" Xu Nuo couldn't help saying loudly.

"Focus!" Danny Granger yelled at the promise. "Defend!"

The Orlando Magic are older than the Indiana Pacers in terms of experience. When they are behind, they are still calm and use the passing and cutting cooperation between players to tear apart the Indiana Pacers' defense.When Jason Richardson got the ball, it was Promise that was defending in front of him.Xu Nuo now focuses all his attention on Jason Richardson and the round basketball in his hand, not daring to neglect in the slightest.Jason Richardson broke through Xu Nuo with the ball, driving Xu Nuo's defense and then made an emergency stop. Although Xu Nuo often used this trick himself, he was still caught by Jason Richardson's fake action at this time confuse.After throwing off the promised defense, Jason Richardson immediately took off and shot.

"Don't enter!" Xu Nuo yelled in his heart.

But the ball went straight into the net, and the Indiana Pacers trailed by one point with 42 seconds left in the game. Coach Larry Brown immediately called a timeout to arrange this crucial play.

The attack arranged by coach Larry Brown is actually very simple. The other players of the Indiana Pacers pulled away and gave the ball to David West on the inside to single Brandon Bass.The reason why Larry Brown arranged this seems to be because David West once beat the Oklahoma City Thunder, but this time, David West missed the opportunity to turn the team into victory.David West made a fatal mistake while dribbling, Hedo Turkoglu took the opportunity to steal David West, and the Orlando Magic immediately turned from defense to offense.At this time, there were still more than 20 seconds left. Hedo Turkoglu stabilized the rhythm of the game and waited for the time to slowly run out.With eight seconds left in the shot clock, Turkoglu began to drive, but his shot missed as Danny Granger fought hard and Roy Hibbert slammed the rebound on the Dwight Howard fouled and Howard went to the free throw line.

At this time, a tense atmosphere enveloped the Conseco Arena, the fans in the stands stood up, and the fans standing behind the backboard began to frantically interfere with Dwight Howard's free throws.At this time, Xu Nuo felt that he was almost suffocating because Dwight Howard seemed to have a higher percentage of free throws at critical moments.

But Dwight Howard's first free throw was short and the ball hit the front of the rim.Xu Nuo stood outside the three-point line, always ready to catch the ball and counterattack, and kept calculating in his mind how long it would take him to catch the ball in the opposite half if Howard missed the second free throw.At this time, Dwight Howard also made his second free throw, and Xu Nuo could see that the ball was strong when Howard just shot it.Sure enough, the ball hit the basket's neck and bounced high.

Immediately, a hand-to-hand battle was formed under the basket, and David West struggled to grab this crucial backcourt rebound.At the same time, Xu Nuo immediately started to rush towards the basket of the Orlando Magic. David West's pass came to Xu Nuo's hands almost exactly.Xu Nuo looked at the timer above the backboard which was in the countdown phase, while running towards the Magic basket.But when Xu Nuo was about to make a layup, he was pulled down by Chris Duhon, who was struggling to catch up. At this time, there were less than two seconds left.

"It's really pissing off!" Xu Nuo looked frustrated, he was almost about to complete the lore just now.

"It's okay, there are still two free throws." Danny Granger patted Xu Nuo's ass as he said, telling him to relax.

Xu Nuo took a deep breath and walked to the free throw line.

"These two free throws must be hit, so the Magic will have no chance to counterattack." Xu Nuo thought to himself.

Danny Granger looked at the promise, and couldn't help feeling anxious in his heart: Can he...

As a result, Xu Nuo picked up and dropped the ball twice in a row, and the ball went into the net steadily and hollowly.At this time, the Orlando Magic had no chance to counterattack. The final whistle sounded, and the Indiana Pacers narrowly beat the Orlando Magic by one point 92:91!The players of the Pacers tightly surrounded Xu Nuo, who staged a free throw lore. At this time, Xu Nuo was so excited that he just wanted to run across the court, but he just raised his fists high and shouted excitedly.

Dwight Howard, who missed two free throws in a row at the critical moment and caused the team to lose a good game, walked off the court with a sullen face. At the entrance of the player tunnel, he looked back at the promise who was celebrating wantonly. An idea popped up.
