super point guard

Chapter 38 China Tournament Shanghai Station ([-])

At the beginning of the second quarter, neither Darren Collison nor Xu Nuo played. The point guard for the Indiana Pacers was substitute George Hill, and the opposing Los Angeles Clippers also sent a full bench lineup. play.But off the court, Darren Collison remained silent all the time, and seemed to be engrossed in watching the game on the court, while Xu Nuo talked and laughed with Danny Granger sitting next to him.However, within a few minutes of the second quarter, the fans in the Luwan Gymnasium seemed a little unhappy when they saw that Xu Nuo hadn't played for a long time, and began to shout collectively: "We want to promise!"

"What did they promise?" Indiana Pacers coach Larry Brown heard the shouts from the fans in the stands, but he only understood the word "promise", so Coach Larry Brown had to reply. Turn around and ask his interpreter what the fans in the stands are shouting.

"The fans said they wanted Xu Nuo to play," Coach Larry Brown's makeshift Chinese interpreter told him with a smile.

"Oh..." Coach Larry Brown nodded, but didn't say anything more.

"Coach Brown, I think we should let Xu Nuo play, even if it's just for occasion." Coach Larry Brown's chief assistant coach, Brian Shaw, approached Coach Larry Brown and whispered.

"I didn't bring Xu Nuo to China just to meet the occasion!" Coach Larry Brown said seriously, "He is an important member of our team. Now we must ensure that Xu Nuo has enough players. Physical strength to cope with the long regular season afterward, so that Xu Nuo can play at the highest level in the regular season. Could it be that just because it is the China game now, Xu Nuo has to play for 48 minutes without taking a break for a second? "

Coach Brian Shaw didn't say anything anymore, so he could only continue to pay attention to the game on the court.The shouts of the fans in the stands became more and more violent, which made Coach Larry Brown a little helpless. Although he couldn't understand what the fans were shouting, the fans always shouted that sentence. Larry Brown Coaches can always hear it.Coach Larry Brown smiled helplessly and walked up to Xu Nuo.

At this time, Xu Nuo was also discussing this matter with Danny Granger, and Danny Granger asked him: "What are those fans shouting about?"

Xu Nuo looked back at the fans on the stage, but at the same time he also saw Yao Ming who was sitting behind him and looking at him with a smile.Xu Nuo smiled unnaturally, then turned around and said to Danny Granger; "They said they hoped that I could play."

Danny Granger's eyes widened. "Did they really say that?" he asked.

Xu Nuo spread his hands helplessly and shrugged, "Forget it if you don't believe it." Xu Nuo said.

"But this is also very normal," Danny Granger said, "This is in China, and those fans certainly want to see their own people on the court."

"Yeah!" Xu Nuo sighed, "I don't know what Coach Larry Brown thinks about this."

It was "Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here", as soon as Xu Nuo finished speaking, coach Larry Brown appeared in front of Xu Nuo and them.

"Promise, under the circumstances," coach Larry Brown said, looking at the fans behind the bench, "it seems that you are going to play a few minutes earlier."

"I obey your orders." Xu Nuo said.

Coach Larry Brown nodded, "But I still won't send you to play now," Coach Larry Brown said, "The most important thing for you now is to maintain your strength and prepare for the regular season."

Xu Nuo nodded. Both he and Danny Granger thought that Coach Larry Brown was going to send him on the field, but when it came time to make a substitution, Coach Larry Brown just replaced him with Darren Collison. George Hill.

"The Indiana Pacers are going to be replaced!" Teacher Zhang Weiping, who was the guest commentator at the scene, said loudly, "Darren Collison has replaced George Hill. It seems that the promise will have to wait." Teacher Zhang Weiping's commentary, promised to hear the disappointed sighs from the fans in the stands.

"After all, Darren played much better than me today." Xu Nuo said.

"Coach Larry Brown doesn't let you play yet, there are only two possibilities." Danny Granger beside him said.

"What?" Xu Nuo asked.

"One possibility is that Coach Brown attaches great importance to you, so he doesn't let you play to protect you;" Danny Granger said, wringing his fingers, "The second possibility is that Coach Brown doesn't value you at all, so He doesn't let you play because he doesn't believe in you."

"I don't dare to hope it's the former," Xu Nuo said helplessly, "as long as it's not the latter, it's fine."

Although Darren Collison played well in the first quarter, using breakthroughs and mid-range jumpers to score consecutively, after such a long rest, Darren Collison's fiery touch seems to be cooling down. The bench cools slowly.Immediately after a missed field goal by Darren Collison, the Los Angeles Clippers hit a fast break, and Blake Griffin delivered another ground-breaking, violent dunk that sparked a chorus of chants from the stands, It seems that there are quite a few fans who like Blake Griffin, but now the Indiana Pacers are 31:33 behind the Los Angeles Clippers by two points.

"The big problem with the current Pacers team is that their offense is not good," Zhang Weiping sat on the commentary seat and talked eloquently, "The offense is not good, and the defense is not timely, so the Clippers can easily score. Now the Pacers should start with defense first, because even if your own offense is not good, you can still limit the opponent's scoring through defense, and you will not fall behind on the scene."

Xu Nuo sat on the sidelines, and he was just thankful that Coach Larry Brown and his teammates didn't understand Chinese, and couldn't understand what Teacher Zhang Weiping was saying. He guessed in his heart that if Coach Larry Brown could understand Chinese, he would listen How do you feel when you see Mr. Zhang Weiping's explanation?At this moment, teacher Zhang Weiping once again shouted his classic commentary sentence: "Throw it away! Throw it away! Throw it away! Throw it away!"

Xu Nuo hurriedly looked on the court. Sure enough, Deng Tai Jones made a mistake when he dribbled and broke through, and was intercepted by the Clippers' backup shooting guard Randy Foye.The Clippers had another quick counterattack, small forward Ryan Gomez scored a layup, and the Indiana Pacers were already 4 points behind their opponents.

No matter what Mr. Zhang Weiping said is right or wrong, now Coach Larry Brown has to get up and call a timeout.During the timeout, Coach Larry Brown has been loudly emphasizing defense, especially the defense after a miss. It seems that what Zhang Weiping said is exactly the same as what Coach Larry Brown thinks.At this moment, coach Larry Brown called the promised name.

"Promise, you will replace Darren Collison." Coach Larry Brown said.

Xu Nuo took off his sports jacket immediately after hearing this, and was ready to go on stage.

In addition, Brandon Rush replaced Dengtai Jones, Danny Granger replaced Paul George, and two substitute insiders Taylor Hansbrough and Josh McRoberts remained on the court.

"Okay, come back from the timeout." Teacher Zhang Weiping opened the chatterbox again, "After the timeout, our promise has finally appeared!" His words caused a burst of cheers from the fans, "The Pacers also replaced Danny Granger And Brandon Rush, the two main players, it seems that the Pacers will make some moves to strengthen their offense!" Teacher Zhang Weiping said.

Teacher Zhang Weiping's commentary was quickly drowned out by the loud shouts from the fans, because Xu promised to take the ball again.Xu Nuo dribbled the ball into the frontcourt and handed it to Josh McRoberts near the right edge of the penalty area. With his back to the Clippers' backup center Chris Kaman, McRoberts carefully held the ball.At this time, Danny Granger, who was near the bottom corner of the three-point line on the side with the ball, and Brandon Rush, who was standing outside the three-point line at a 45-degree angle, ran a cross position with each other. Granger was near his best angle of 45 degrees.But at this time, Danny Granger was just a cover, and Josh McRoberts handed the ball to Brandon Rush in the bottom corner, which is the focus of the Pacers' offense.A McRoberts pass puts the defense in the direction of Brandon Rush, Danny Granger is free, and Brandon Rush passes the ball over, but Ryan Gomez does too. Then came to Granger.

"The promise on the other side is empty!" Zhang Weiping shouted.

At the same time, Danny Gran and a large diversion of the ball, the ball came to Xu Nuo's hands.Xu Nuo took the ball and dribbled for a step, and then shot directly.

The reason why Xu Nuo dribbled the ball before shooting is because now Xu Nuo dare not shoot outside three-pointers, he just wants to get a stable two-pointer. With a bang, the ball hit the board and went into the basket.

"Hey! Still playing the board." Teacher Zhang Weiping who was explaining said.

"Today's shooting percentage is not high, and at the very least, rebounding shots can be guaranteed to make shots." Xu Nuo said, "To be honest, I always think that rebounding shots have a much higher shooting percentage than usual hollow shots."

Before Xu Nuo played, the fans at the scene kept calling Xu Nuo's name.And when Xu Nuo played, his performance did not disappoint the fans who had been calling him. He scored two assists once, and Xu Nuo helped the team tie the score at 39:39.

"It seems that Coach Larry Brown's move to replace Xu Nuo is still correct," said teacher Zhang Weiping. "It is Xu Xu's passing organization that revitalizes the team, at least so that the team will not suffer in offense. 4 With 3 assists, the current performance of the promise is not bad. As a backup point guard, it is quite good to be able to produce such data in such a short period of time. But the most important thing is that the current promise has been matched with the team. The other players produced a chemical reaction, at least there is no problem with the cooperation between the players. This shows that Xu Nuo has now integrated into this team, which is much more important than playing a good game. Xu Nuo, good job !"

On the court, Xu once again steals the Clippers backup point guard Eric Bledsoe, takes the ball and runs upfield.

"Promise, detain him!" Zhang Weiping's classic sentence appeared again.

Xu Nuo smiled in his heart, and after making sure that Eric Bledsoe behind him couldn't catch up with him, he jumped high and smashed the ball into the basket with both hands!

"Beautiful!" Teacher Zhang Weiping shouted loudly.

The fans in the stands once again shouted like a tsunami.
