super point guard

Chapter 251 Laying the Foundation
"Roy, it seems that they are very afraid of you. From the beginning of the game, they will defend you from the front!"

"Demar, your tomahawk split just now is really wonderful. It is impeccable in terms of strength and aesthetics. It will definitely enter today's top five shots, and it is even very likely Will be the top five balls!"

"However, to say that DeMar's dunk is beautiful, it is better to say that Danny's pass is wonderful!"

"Indeed, it is really not a simple matter to be able to accurately pass the ball from the defense of the opponent's two big inside players and assist teammates to score!"

During the timeout, there was such a rowdy sound from the Indiana Pacers bench.Seeing that the players under him didn't focus on the tactical board in their hands, they couldn't help but put on a straight face.

"What are you talking about? You are so noisy!" Coach Larry Brown shouted at his disciples with a trace of anger, "Look at the excited expressions on your faces, have you forgotten so quickly, now we Still six points behind the opponent? Now is not the time for us to relax, we must focus and put all our energy on this game!"

Seeing the anger on Coach Larry Brown's face, the players stopped talking, and lowered their heads to listen to Coach Larry Brown's tactics.Coach Larry Brown drew one thick black line after another on the tactical board, unceremoniously pointing out the mistakes made by the players in the past few minutes of the game.After laying out the tactics, Coach Larry Brown looked at Xu Xu standing behind Danny Granger.

"Promise, you replace Darren!" Coach Larry Brown said.

The Orlando Magic bench at the other end of the court was also filled with excitement, and every player had an excited expression on their faces.It's no wonder that after losing to the Indiana Pacers in the first game, it is indeed not an easy task to be able to lead the Indiana Pacers by six points.

Among the Orlando Magic players, the most excited is naturally the power forward "Big Baby" Glenn Davis, who has ensured that the Orlando Magic will take the lead.It is precisely because Glenn Davis scored eight points on three of four shots in the previous few minutes of the game that the away Orlando Magic were able to turn away and lead the home team Indiana Pacers by 13:7 by six points.

Orlando Magic head coach Stan Van Gundy rubbed his neck and laughed.

My own tactics have achieved initial success, and the team has also successfully gained the lead. If we continue to play like this, our team still has a chance to win tonight's game.

Therefore, coach Stan Van Gundy simply did not change a single player, and continued the tactics used before, hoping that the team could continue to expand the lead in their hands.

Coach Stan Van Gundy completely underestimated the Indiana Pacers by thinking this way.

After the timeout, coach Stan Van Gundy saw Promise replace Darren Collison on the court, the wrinkles on his forehead once again huddled.

"If this kid plays, then we have to rearrange our tactics. It's a pity that we didn't think of this during the timeout just now..." Coach Stan Van Gundy thought in his heart.

Facts have proved that coach Stan Van Gundy's concerns are completely correct. It is because of the promised play that the Indiana Pacers broke the deadlock on the field and began to slowly recover the score.

The Indiana Pacers scored successfully in their first offense after Xu Nuo came on the field. Danny Granger received the pass from Xu Nuo, started slipping the bottom line to break through, and passed the ball back to Xu Nuo when he was double-teamed.After receiving the ball from Danny Granger, Xu Nuo did not choose to shoot himself, but quickly handed the ball to center Roy Hibbert under the basket.At this time, the Orlando Magic's defensive attention was on Xu Nuo and Danny Granger, and no players went around to defend Roy Hibbert. Roy Hibbert caught the ball and easily scored a one-handed dunk.

Seeing all this, coach Stan Van Gundy's face began to darken.

However, this is only on the defensive end, and whether the Orlando Magic can continue to maintain their lead depends on the team's offense and the performance and role of Glenn Davis on the offensive end.

"They will definitely give the ball to Glenn Davis when they are attacking..." Xu Nuo thought in his heart.

Sure enough, Jameer Nelson dribbled upfield and passed the ball after Glen Davis leaned against Indiana Pacers backup power forward Ronnie Turiaf to get into position.Glenn Davis held the ball near the left 45-degree edge of the penalty area and started a one-on-one on Ronnie Turiaf.

Ronnie Turiaf is indeed much stronger than David West on the defensive end. Glenn Davis has no way to turn around and shoot under the defense of Ronnie Turiaf, so he has to return the ball. Pass to Jameer Nelson on the perimeter.Jameel Nelson got the ball and handed it back to Glenn Davis again, who got it and turned his back on Ronnie Turiaf.

"It's running out of time, hurry up and shoot!" Hedo Turkoglu said to Glenn Davis.

This time Glenn Davis started to attack Ronnie Turiaf, Glenn Davis used a shot fake to shake Ronnie Turiaf, and then Glenn Davis Adams began to drive the ball to the Indiana Pacers basket.

"Good job!" Coach Stan Van Gundy thought.

However, just as Glenn Davis threw the ball in his hand towards the basket against Roy Hibbert's defense, Xu Nuo suddenly jumped high and threw Glenn Davis just now. The thrown ball hit the backboard!

"What?" Coach Stan Van Gundy was taken aback.

And the Orlando Magic bench players behind him seemed more surprised than coach Stan Van Gundy, and they couldn't believe their eyes.

"That kid can block Glenn Davis' shot!" Coach Stan Van Gundy thought in amazement.

After promising to block Glenn Davis' shot, DeMar DeRozan immediately took control of the ball and the Indiana Pacers launched a quick counterattack.DeMar DeRozan dribbled upfield and handed the ball to Danny Granger on the other side of the court, but Danny Granger handed the ball to Promise who was fast following.Xu Nuo caught the ball and raised his hand outside and made a long three-pointer. The Indiana Pacers chased the score to only one point.

"Be calm, be sure to be calm!" Coach Stan Van Gundy saw that his team's lead was only one point in an instant, and he couldn't help reminding himself to be calm and not to get hotheaded.The current Orlando Magic need to stabilize the rhythm of the game and rely on their own game rhythm to re-establish their lead.

However, the Indiana Pacers seem to have seen through the intention of the Orlando Magic at this time, which is to prevent the Orlando Magic from falling into a positional battle, so that the players of the Orlando Magic have to follow the players of the Indiana Pacers back and forth on the court. Running back and forth is like turning a basketball game into a track and field competition.In such a game rhythm, Xu Nuo played like a fish in water. A quick counterattack layup and an assist to a teammate scored helped the team lead the score on the court.

Coach Stan Van Gundy snorted through his nose and began pacing back and forth in front of the Orlando Magic dugout.The eyes of the substitute players of the Orlando Magic followed the figure of their head coach and turned around, as if suffering from obsessive-compulsive disorder.

"How do you limit the promise to that kid?" Coach Stan Van Gundy murmured to himself.

It's a big question on the minds of other head coaches in the league, and now it's coach Stan Van Gundy, who has no choice but to accept it.However, the more serious problem is that I can't think of any good way to solve this problem.

With the current strength of the Orlando Magic's back line, trying to limit promises is simply a joke.

The point guard who can limit the promise in one-on-one is estimated to be only able to be done by Chicago Bulls MVP Derrick Rose, and it is a fully healthy Derrick Rose.

As for Chris Paul, Deron Williams, Tony Parker, Russell Westbrook, and Rajon Rondo, the best point guards in the league, they are at most equal to the promise. .

How can a player like Orlando Magic starting point guard Jameer Nelson limit commitment?

Coach Stan Van Gundy, head coach of the Orlando Magic, knows this.

Because of this, coach Stan Van Gundy is more frowning than ever.

Coach Stan Van Gundy had a look of worry in his eyes whenever he promised to get the ball on the court.Although coach Stan Van Gundy promised that it would be impossible to score every offense, coach Stan Van Gundy was still afraid when he promised to get the ball.

In fact, Coach Larry Brown's worries were not unreasonable. It was because of the promised play that the Indiana Pacers were able to lead the Orlando Magic by four points at 27:23 at the end of the first quarter.Taking the lead in the first quarter set up a good foundation for the whole game.
