super point guard

Chapter 65

"Ladies and gentlemen, let's take a good look at how they are doing tonight..." With the heartbreaking shout of the live announcer, Xu promised to see the home team Oklahoma City wearing a silver sports jacket. The players of the Homer City Thunder also ran from the locker room to the field, and the fans in the Ford Center immediately burst into shouts like a tsunami.And as the live announcer began to introduce the starters of the home team Oklahoma City Thunder, the fans in the stands began to spontaneously form waves of people.

"Our starting center is," the announcer at the scene shouted, "Kendrick Perkins No. 5!" The fans immediately burst into cheers, and it seemed that Oklahoma City Fans in the United States still welcome Kendrick Perkins, who joined the team from the Boston Celtics last season.

"Why don't they introduce the point guard first, after all, the point guard is the No. [-] position on the court." Xu Nuo looked at Kendrick Perkins, who had a face of bitter hatred and deep class struggle , Said to James Posey, a veteran player in the team.

"Because their point guard Russell Westbrook is the No. [-] player in the Thunder, he will definitely be introduced later." James Posey said.

Xu Nuo nodded, "I forgot about that." He said this, sounding like he was talking to himself.

"Our starting shooting guard is," the announcer continued his heartrending cry, "Thabo Safolosha at No. 2!" The cheers from the stands intensified.

Xu Nuo watched the tough-looking Swiss jump into the court, and asked the veteran James Posey next to him again: "This is the Safolosha who used to defend Kobe very uncomfortable in the playoffs?"

"Well, yes." James Posey nodded.

I don't know why, when Xu Nuo saw Safolosha, he felt a wave of trepidation in his heart. Xu Nuo can only rejoice that he will not face Safolosha in the game, even though the opponent he will face tonight is even worse. Difficult to deal with.

"Our starting power forward is," the announcer then yelled, "Serge Ibaka at No. 9!" The fans cheered again, though promises sounded like the same cheers. The fans greeted Safolosha with more or less the same cheers.

This time it was James Posey who first spoke to Promise, "Fortunately, you won't be facing Ibaka in the game." James Posey said.

"Why do you say that?" Xu Nuo asked, frowning.

"If you play against Ibaka, you will definitely be scared to death by his muscular body," James Posey said with a serious face, "You will not take any advantage if you play against him. Cheap, really a difficult character."

Xu Nuo did not speak.

"Our starting point guard is," the announcer shouted aloud, "our No. 0—Russell Westbrook!"

The sudden burst of shouts from the fans in the stands startled Xu Nuo, and then Xu Nuo saw his opponent tonight jumped onto the court from the edge of the court, high-fiving the other Thunder players on the court.

Xu Nuo swallowed, "This is the really difficult character." He said to himself.

After Russell Westbrook, it's finally time for the star of the Oklahoma City Thunder -- Kevin Durant.

"Our starting small forward is," the announcer's voice seemed to be at his maximum decibels, "our king, No. 35—Kevin Durant!"

The shouts from the fans in the Ford Center almost toppled the ceiling of the arena. From Xu Nuo's point of view, the fans in the stands were almost going crazy.Promise then saw Kevin Durant come onto the court, jumping up and bumping into his teammates.

And James Posey looked serious, Xu Nuo looked at him and said, "Your opponent tonight is even more difficult, isn't it?"

"It doesn't matter," James Posey said, "I've defended a lot of good scorers in my life, and Kevin Durant is not far behind."

"Besides, none of us are starters, and we don't need to face those difficult opponents at the beginning of the game." Xu Nuo said.

As Xu Nuo said, when the players of the two teams came to the center circle of the court to jump the ball, Xu Nuo and James Posey sat on the bench beside the court.Darren Collison is still the starting point guard on the court, and Danny Granger is naturally the starting small forward.

On the court, Roy Hibbert and Kendrick Perkins competed for the opening jump ball. Roy Hibbert took advantage of his young physical fitness and fast bouncing speed to win the ball, and then allocated it to Darren Collison.

"The game is on now!" Xu Nuo heard the live commentator at the Ford Center yell. "Let's cheer on our lads! Come let's shout 'defense!'"

Driven by the on-site commentator, the fans in the stands began to shout "defense" in unison.

Since their opponents in this game are much stronger than the opponents they played against the Detroit Pistons in the last game, Xu Xu, who was sitting on the team's bench beside the court, all had serious faces and didn't even blink their eyes. Blinking at the game on the court.On the court, David West was still holding the ball in the high position to support, and Danny Granger used center Roy Hibbert's block to cover the ball and came out to catch the ball.But this time, when Danny Granger ran beyond the three-point line to receive the ball, he found that the player defending him in front of him was replaced by Thunder power forward Serge Ibaka. .Danny Granger faced Ibaka, took a dribble and shot a three-pointer directly.But the ball didn't hit the rim, Kendrick Perkins grabbed the rebound, and the crowd yelled again.

Because Indiana Pacers head coach Larry Brown specifically emphasized the team's return defense problem before the game, after Kendrick Perkins grabbed the rebound, the Indiana Pacers players returned immediately. Defense, preventing the Thunder players, especially Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook from having a fast break, the Thunder had to switch to positional warfare.

At this time, Xu Nuo, who was sitting on the bench next to the court, watched more intently because he wanted to see how Darren Collison defended Russell Westbrook.

Promise knows that before the game, their head coach Larry Brown said that how to defend Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook in this game will be the key to winning this game , and the way to defend Russell Westbrook is to prevent him from breaking through to the basket and forcing him to shoot from outside the three-point line, because mid-range and long-range shooting is a shortcoming of Westbrook.However, Xu Nuo soon discovered that it was impossible to prevent Westbrook from breaking through. Westbrook was much stronger than Darren Collison in terms of physical fitness and instant explosive power. Not bad for keeping up with Westbrook's first step.After Westbrook once again assisted Kevin Durant in a mid-range shot, the Thunder scored four points in a row.

"Tonight our Kevin feels very hot!" The on-site commentator in the Ford Center shouted loudly, "Russell's pass timing is also very good. As long as we continue to maintain such a good state, our The Gemini duo will definitely dominate this game with ease!"

Xu Nuo snorted in his nose after hearing this.

Compared with Kevin Durant's fiery touch, the players of the Indiana Pacers are in a much worse state, whether it is Danny Granger or David West, or Darren Collison and DeMar DeRozan, no Indiana Pacers player could throw the ball into the basket, and Coach Larry Brown was yelling from the sidelines.Not only Coach Larry Brown, even the promise sitting on the team's bench is anxious for his teammates on the court in his heart.

"It seems that the haunted hotel has more or less affected everyone's state." Deng Tai Jones, who was sitting next to Xu Nuo, said.

"The poor state shouldn't be the reason," Xu Nuo looked at Deng Tai Jones and said, "I think there must be other reasons, such as slow heat..."

At this time, veteran James Posey said, "Although I have never believed in ghosts and ghosts, it is undeniable that it still has some influence on some of our players." He said.

"You said that too!" Xu Nuo looked at James Posey in surprise.

But James Posey didn't look at Xu Xu, but went on to say: "Perhaps the reason why everyone is not in good condition is caused by the 'fear sequelae'."

"Fear of sequelae?" Xu Nuo repeated, he was about to say something just now, but the roaring cheers from the fans at the scene once again attracted Xu Nuo's attention to the court.On the court, Russell Westbrook finally staged his trademark tomahawk dunk after the breakthrough, and the atmosphere of the scene finally reached its first climax.

However, this climax is only for the home team Oklahoma City Thunder, because now the Indiana Pacers are eight points behind the home team Thunder with 2:10.
