super point guard

Chapter 357 Another three-point frenzy
After promising to wait for a large number of main players to rest, the Indiana Pacers' bench lineup headed by OJ Mayo had difficulty breaking through the iron wall of the home team's Oklahoma City Thunder on the offensive end, and their offensive efficiency began to decline.Under the leadership of the team's sixth man James Harden, the Oklahoma City Thunder's offense improved slightly, and finally overtook the Indiana Pacers by two points again with a score of 23:21.Due to the tense situation of the game, coach Larry Brown had to send Danny Granger and Xu Nuo back on the field.

"Xuan made four consecutive outside three-pointers and scored [-] points in a row in the first quarter. Coach Larry Brown sent him to strengthen the team's offense." The game commentator Ken Ni Smith said, "But Danny Granger's condition in this game is not good, he didn't even score a point in the first quarter! I don't know if Coach Larry Brown sent Danny Granger What is Lan Jie planning to do?"

The head coach of the Oklahoma City Thunder, Scott Brooks, saw Danny Granger and Xu Nuo returning to the court at the same time. He couldn't help but frowned and thought for a moment, and then called James Harden to the side of the court. Whisper in James Harden's ear.The referee Joe Crawford repeatedly blew his whistle to urge James Harden to return to the court.

"Hey, Shaq, guess what coach Scott Brooks would say to James Harden?" Sir Charles Barkley said with a smile to the "big shark" Shaquille O'Neal beside him.

"It's really hard to guess!" "Shark" O'Neal said with a smile, "We can only guess that Coach Scott Brooks is giving James Harden an opportunity to tell James Harden what will happen in the next game." How it should be played. But what coach Scott Brooks said, we don't know."

"I guess Coach Scott Brooks would say that." Sir Charles Barkley said with a smile. We can’t vote in it either! On the contrary, we must be careful to beware of that brat Xu Nuo!”

"Almost, almost." "Shark" O'Neal nodded in agreement.

Promise on the court took the ball from teammate OJ Mayo and began to dribble forward.While carefully controlling the ball, Xu Nuo glanced at the three live game commentators on the sidelines.

"Three old antiques!" Xu Nuo whispered coldly.

Xu Nuo dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, slowly controlled the ball from beyond the three-point line, and waited for his teammates to come forward to respond.But neither Danny Granger nor OJ Mayo was able to get rid of the opponent's defense in the first place.In desperation, Xu Nuo had no choice but to choose to break through with the ball.But as soon as Xu Nuo started to start, James Harden moved immediately and quickly blocked between Xu Nuo and the basket.

"It turned out that James Harden was going to be sent to defend the promise." Kenny Smith said.

"Hey..." Xu Nuo sneered, and with a slight flick of his wrist, the ball immediately flew out of Xu Nuo's hand.Although Derek Fisher and Daequan Cook are still "stretched" between Promise and Danny Granger, two Oklahoma City Thunder players, but the ball still penetrates the Oklahoma City Thunder The defense line of the team came directly to Danny Granger!

"How did promise pass the ball to Danny Granger!" Kenny Smith exclaimed, "you know, there are at least two Oklahoma City players between promise and Danny Granger." Thunder players are defending!"

But in any case, the ball has come to Danny Granger who is outside the three-point line.Facing Daequan Cook's defense, Danny Granger jumped up and shot directly from the three-point line.The ball jumped high over Daequan Cook's fingers and finally hit the basket!Danny Granger, who hadn't scored a single point before, let out a long breath and waved his fist involuntarily.

"Danny Granger finally 'opened the pot'!" Charles Barkley said, "In this way, the Oklahoma City Thunder's defensive strategy will change."

With Danny Granger's first score of the game, the Indiana Pacers regained control of the game.James Harden, who played as a guest point guard, dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, did not pass the ball to any teammates, and directly broke through with the ball.However, James Harden's breakthrough layup failed to hit the basket under the joint defense of two Indiana Pacers substitute inside players, Tyler Hansbrough and JJ-Hickson, and Danny Granger accepted Defensive rebound.Xu Nuo took the ball from Danny Granger and quickly dribbled it upfield.

"Here!" Danny Granger yelled as he charged forward.

"This is a great opportunity for the Indiana Pacers!" Kenny Smith said.

Danny Granger's voice hadn't landed, Xu Nuo had already passed the ball in his hand.Danny Granger had just landed outside the 45-degree three-point line, and the ball bounced off the floor and came to Danny Granger accurately.After receiving the ball, Danny Granger didn't make any adjustments at all, and shot directly, and the ball went into the net with a "swipe" sound again!
At 27:23, the visiting Indiana Pacers had a four-point lead over the Oklahoma City Thunder!
"Danny Granger broke out and helped the Indiana Pacers regain the lead. Now the Indiana Pacers have a four-point lead over the Oklahoma City Thunder." Kenny Smith said routinely.

"Why did Danny Granger suddenly regain his touch?" Sir Charles Barkley said with pretended doubts, "In the first quarter, Danny Granger failed to hit the basket for five shots, but It's really unbelievable to hit two consecutive outside three-pointers right after the second quarter."

"What's even more incredible is that up to now, the Indiana Pacers have never missed a three-pointer from outside!" "Shark" O'Neal said, "In the first quarter, Xu Nuo made four outside shots. Three-pointers, Danny Granger has scored two three-pointers in this quarter. So far, the Indiana Pacers have made six long-range three-pointers from outside, all of which hit the basket!"

"This is too bug!" Kenny Smith said with a smile.

And after Danny Granger hit a second outside [-]-pointer, Oklahoma City Thunder coach Scott Brooks stood up and called for a long timeout.

"If I don't expect, both players, Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook, will be back on the court." During this timeout, promises to Danny Granger Said.

"So I don't have any obvious advantage over the Oklahoma City Thunder." Danny Granger said with a frown.

"It's okay, I will continue to help you score!" Xu Nuo said to Danny Granger with a smile.

Sure enough, as promised, after the timeout, the two core players of the Oklahoma City Thunder, Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook, returned to the court at the same time.The team's sixth man James Harden returned to the bench, while veteran point guard Derek Fisher remained on the court.

"It seems that Russell Westbrook is very likely to be a guest shooting guard." Xu Nuo thought to himself.

It is precisely because Russell Westbrook is a guest shooting guard that the player responsible for marking Russell Westbrook was replaced by DeMar DeRozan.Russell Westbrook received a pass from Kevin Durant and drove past DeMar DeRozan for a layup by the Indiana Pacers, bringing the gap back to two.

After scoring a layup, Russell Westbrook's identity was changed back to point guard, and he began to defend Xu Nuo in the backcourt.Xu Nuo carefully controlled the ball to prevent it from being intercepted by Russell Westbrook, and tried his best to push the ball into the frontcourt as quickly as possible.Power forward David West mentioned the high position as support and promised to pass the ball immediately.

At this time, Danny Granger used the double screen of center Roy Hibbert and shooting guard DeMar DeRozan to get rid of Kevin Durant's defense and ran to the strong side with the ball for a three-pointer outside the line.David West passed the ball immediately, and Danny Granger immediately jumped up to shoot after receiving the ball.At this time, it was too late for Kevin Durant to defend Danny Granger again, and he could only watch helplessly as the ball hit the basket again!
"Three consecutive outside three-pointers!" Kenny Smith exclaimed in surprise.

"The Indiana Pacers are going to explode on the perimeter tonight!" Shaquille O'Neill said, shaking his head.

"The Oklahoma City Thunder will be sieved!" Said Sir Charles Barkley.

In fact, the current Oklahoma City Thunder has been cast into a sieve. If it weren't for the tie with the Indiana Pacers in the first quarter, the current Oklahoma City Thunder would fall even more behind.

Danny Granger hit all three outside three-pointers in a row, and as Danny Granger's opponent on the field, Kevin Durant quickly returned the color.Kevin Durant received a pass from Russell Westbrook and also made a long shot from beyond the three-point line to help the Oklahoma City Thunder chase the game to 28:32, just four point.

"See the three-point frenzy again!" Kenny Smith sighed.
