super point guard

Chapter 133

The Chicago Bulls did not send their point guard Derrick Rose to play at the beginning of the second quarter, but despite this, the Chicago Bulls, who had a clear advantage in strength, still took the initiative on the court.The Indiana Pacers trailed the Chicago Bulls by seven points at home with 26:33 to play despite backup point guard George Hill hitting two consecutive [-]-pointers from long range.

About four minutes into the second quarter, Derrick Rose re-emerged.Derrick Rose, who was the MVP of last season's regular season, intercepted George Hill's pass and launched a quick counterattack just after he came on the field.Derrick Rose himself received a pass from his teammate and substitute power forward Ty Gibson during the fast break and made a mid-range jumper, helping the team continue to lead with 4:37.

"Timeout!" Coach Larry Brown stood up from the Indiana Pacers' coaching bench and said loudly. The team's weak defense made Coach Larry Brown a little bit uncomfortable.

"How do you defend?" Xu Nuo saw coach Larry Brown, who was over seventy years old, shouting at the players who had just walked off the court angrily. Do whatever they want on their territory?"

The five Indiana Pacers bench players walked back to the team's bench with their heads down, all with dejected faces.Coach Larry Brown watched his disciples sit on the bench and still didn't stop his roaring.Seeing Coach Larry Brown yelling at the players so angrily, Xu Nuo felt a little surprised. It seems that the performance of the team really made Coach Larry Brown angry.

"Is it really that difficult for you to defend desperately?" Coach Larry Brown roared, "Use your body to block your opponent, to block Derrick Rose!"

Hearing what Coach Larry Brown said, the two defenders on the court, George Hill and OJ Mayo, bowed their heads.

"Irvington, George, you two are veterans who have played in the NBA for three or four years, don't you know how to defend Derrick Rose?" Coach Larry Brown pointed at George Hill And OJ Mayo shouted loudly.

Before George Hill could answer, Coach Larry Brown looked at the team's two substitute inside players, Tyler Hansbrough and Jeff Foster, "You just watch the opponent grab the rebound. The ball?" Coach Larry Brown continued to roar, "In this way, we have no rebounds, so how can we guarantee offense?"

In order to regain the team's disadvantage in the game, coach Larry Brown put the four main players back on the court, leaving only OJ Mayo on the court as a substitute player.

"Derrick Rose's biggest threat lies in his dribbling breakthrough, and his biggest weakness is the mid-range and long-range shooting." Coach Larry Brown said to the players, "Although Derrick Rose's outside three-pointers this season The ball shooting rate is higher than before, but his long shot is still a short board in his offense, so we must find a way to stop Derrick Rose, don't let him break through easily, and force him to be on the three-point line Outside shot!"

"Understood, Coach Brown." Danny Granger said.

"Roy Hibbert, you stand on the left edge of the penalty area; David West, you stand on the free throw line; Danny Granger, you stand on the right edge of the penalty area. , The three of you form an inverted triangle in the penalty area." Coach Larry Brown said, "In addition, promise and Irvington Mayo, the two of you stand outside the three-point line and form the first line of defense."

"Yes!" Xu Nuo nodded.

"If Derrick Rose breaks through the first line of our defense, we will immediately form a closing defense on the penalty area line to prevent Derrick Rose from continuing to defend inside." Coach Larry Brown continued.

at this time.The buzzer in the Conseco Arena sounded, and it was time for a timeout.Seeing Xu Nuo's appearance again, some fans in the stands around the stadium raised their slogans in support of Xu Nuo.

After coming back from the timeout, the Indiana Pacers hit on their first possession, promising a pass that penetrated the Chicago Bulls defense to set up Roy Hibbert for an easy layup at the rim, Indiana Pacers The Patriots trailed the Chicago Bulls by seven points at 30:37.Back on the defensive end, the Indiana Pacers immediately followed Larry Brown's deployment position, ready to block Derrick Rose's breakthrough at any time.

Since Xu Nuo was on the first line of defense, Xu Nuo almost focused all his attention on defense.Derrick Rose switched the ball from his right hand to his left, and at the same time made a small ball-protecting motion with his right hand.Seeing Derrick Rose make such an action, Xu Nuo's first reaction was that Derrick Rose was about to break through from his left.But Xu Nuo soon realized that Derrick Rose's move might be just a fake move, or maybe Derrick Rose's real intention was to break through from the right side.

Thinking of this, Xu Nuo made a decision, that is, he did not change his defensive position, and did not move at all.

However, despite this, Derrick Rose still used his strong body to squeeze away the promise.Although Xu Nuo was now stronger than when he first entered the NBA, after being hit by Derrick Rose, Xu Nuo was still almost knocked to the ground.However, after Derrick Rose used his physical advantage to get past Promise, Danny Granger and David West formed at the free throw line immediately before Derrick Rose sprinted into the Indiana Pacers paint Closed the door to defend.Seeing the second line of defense immediately formed in front of him, Derrick Rose had to choose to dribble and stop.

"Now is a good opportunity to steal Derrick Rose!" Xu Nuo thought in his heart. At the same time, Xu Nuo realized that his body had already grabbed Derrick Rose's side.

However, when Xu Nuo was about to steal Derek Rose, Derrick Rose had already spotted Xu Nuo and realized Xu Nuo's intentions.As soon as he promised a quick shot, Derrick Rose sent the ball out just as quickly, passing the ball inside to backup power forward Taj Gibson.

"Slam dunk!" The Chicago Bulls' bench stood up, ready to watch Taj Gibson score a successful dunk.

However, just as Taj Gibson jumped up to score a dunk, Indiana Pacers center Roy Hibbert, who was the last line of defense inside, also jumped up at the same time and blocked Taj Gibson's dunk!
"Beautiful block!" The Indiana Pacers bench boiled up instead.

After Roy Hibbert successfully blocked Taj Gibson, Danny Granger immediately picked up the ball and launched a quick counterattack.After promising to receive the ball, he only dribbled a few steps and threw the ball towards the basket. OJ Mayo immediately jumped high and received the promised pass and scored an alley-oop dunk! At 32:37, the Indiana Pacers were only five points behind their opponents.

"Continue to defend!" Coach Larry Brown stood on the sidelines and continued to shout.

While Derrick Rose got the ball again in the frontcourt, the Indiana Pacers had already stood up defensively again.Due to the setback in the inside offense in the last attack, Derrick Rose did not choose to pass the ball inside again, and made an emergency stop before David West and Danny Granger's closed defense to make a mid-range shot.While Derrick Rose is shooting, the promises closest to Derrick Rose seem to be able to feel the sound of the ball rolling in the air and rubbing against the air.

"But the ball is definitely missed." Xu Nuo said looking at the ball rolling in the air.

Sure enough, the ball hit the basket's neck heavily and bounced back quickly.However, Chicago Bulls backup power forward Taj Gibson jumped up and grabbed an offensive rebound, but his second attack was still shattered.This time, David West didn't let the backcourt rebound go by, and put the ball firmly in his arms.

As a result, in the ensuing game, there was constant sound of iron strikes in the Conseco Arena. Under the strict defense of the Indiana Pacers, the shooting percentage of Chicago Bulls players including Derrick Rose began to drop rapidly.Taking advantage of the Chicago Bulls' drop in shooting percentage, the Indiana Pacers finally overtook the Chicago Bulls by two points 41:39.At halftime, the Indiana Pacers at home tied the Chicago Bulls 43-43, promising five points and four assists in the first half.

When Xu Nuo walked towards the players' locker room, Xu Nuo saw that Coach Larry Brown's expression seemed to ease a lot, and he just kept looking at a small note in his arms.And if Xu Nuo can see it, then Xu Nuo can know how angry Chicago Bulls head coach Tom Taberdeau is at this time.When his players were already walking towards the visiting team's locker room, coach Tom Tebodeau still stayed on the court, arguing with the referee on duty for a controversial penalty that had just occurred.However, the referee on duty did not change his judgment because of this. Coach Tom Taberdeau turned around and walked towards the locker room with a dissatisfied face.

"At this time, the game between the two teams is getting more and more intense," said Jeff Van Gundy, who was on-site as an on-site commentator. "In this way, the second half of the game will become more and more exciting. "
