super point guard

Chapter 47 China Tournament BJ Station ([-])
During the intermission, Xu Nuo and the others had just walked into the players' locker room. Danny Granger, who was walking beside Xu Xu, suddenly turned his head and asked Xu Nuo, "Who are those two commentators at the scene?"

Xu Nuo looked at Danny Granger with some doubts, "It's Yu Jia and Su Qun," Xu Nuo said with some doubts, "Do you know them, or can you understand what they say?"

Danny Granger shook his head, "None," he said, "I just think their explanation sounds more interesting."

Xu Nuo nodded, "It's indeed more interesting." He said.

After promising them to enter the player locker room, no one dared to speak loudly again. Everyone in the player locker room felt the very depressing atmosphere in the locker room.And in front of the tactical board in the locker room, Coach Larry Brown, the head coach of the Indiana Pacers, was standing there, looking very angry.Perhaps it was because of coach Larry Brown's gloomy expression that the atmosphere in the locker room became very oppressive. Xu Nuo and Danny Granger hurriedly ended their conversation and sat down at their seats.

But the poor performance of the Indiana Pacers in the first half, especially in the second half of the second quarter, did make the team coach Larry Brown angry. The nearly 49-point lead they once established in the first quarter, while their opponents, the Los Angeles Clippers, took the opportunity to catch up. By the end of the first half, the Indiana Pacers had fallen behind 55:[-]. The Los Angeles Clippers had six points.Although this is just an ordinary preseason game, but looking at the team's poor performance, the team coach Larry Brown has no reason not to be angry.

"We played very well in the first quarter, but in the second quarter of the game, especially in the second half of the second quarter, we were not able to continue our best form. I think there must be a reason for this." Coach Larry Brown said in his slightly hoarse voice, but everyone in the players' locker room could clearly feel the anger contained in Coach Larry Brown's words, even the promise No exception.Although Xu Nuo did not play even 1 minute in this game due to injury, it can be said that the outcome of this game has nothing to do with Xu Nuo, but Xu Nuo still bowed his head and was scolded with his teammates, Xu Nuo kept praying in his heart It is best for the team not to lead to the current passive situation because of its own absence due to injury.

"Of course, as the team's head coach, I am also responsible for the team from leading to falling behind." Coach Larry Brown continued, "In the second quarter, especially in the second half, we did not play at all. According to the tactics we should play, there is no stable scoring point on the court, the team has become a mess, and as the head coach of the team, I did not discover and correct these problems in time, which is my dereliction of duty."

Xu Nuo sat in front of the locker and opened his mouth in surprise. He didn't expect that coach Larry Brown would first mention his responsibilities as the head coach of the team.Xu Nuo was sure that his teammates thought the same, because he saw the team center Roy Hibbert sitting next to him raised his head, with a look of surprise in his eyes.

"However, this does not mean that our players have no problems on the court." Coach Larry Brown continued to say heavily, "In the second half of the second quarter, our players began to take the team as a whole. I put it in the back of my mind and started to think about myself alone. When I first started coaching this team, I have already said that I hope my team can have iron-like discipline, and I hope we can form a team. An organic whole, after all, we are a team and a collective. I hope that in the second half of the game, we will not have the same situation as in the second quarter, and we will defeat each other through our overall performance!"

Xu Nuo nodded silently after listening, and he also saw Danny Granger and David West doing the same.

At this time, the second half of the game was about to start, so everyone formed a circle, put their hands together, and then everyone shouted: "1-2-3, Pacers!"

As soon as Xu Nuo walked out of the player tunnel and stepped onto the court, he heard the voices of Yu Jia and Su Qun, who were commentating at the Wukesong Basketball Stadium, immediately rang out: "The players of both teams have re-emerged. Back on the court, the second half is about to begin."

During the warm-up period before the second half of the game, Xu Nuo couldn't help itching and came to the court to shoot a few shots. At this time, Xu Nuo found that his back was completely painless when he was shooting, but Xu Nuo also Knowing that even then the team doctor Saunders Conkel would never allow himself to play.As the time for the second half of the game drew closer, Xu Nuo walked past the big NBA China Game logo in the center of the court, and returned to his seat on the Indiana Pacers bench at the side of the court.

"Hey, it's really difficult for me to not be able to play!" Xu Nuo said with a sigh.

"You feel the same way?" Xu Nuo's backup center, Jeff Foster, tilted his head and said to Xu Nuo.

Xu Nuo usually doesn’t talk to Jeff Foster very much, and Jeff Foster rarely takes the initiative to talk to Xu Nuo, so Jeff Foster suddenly said something to himself that surprised Xu Nuo . "Injury days are always the hardest time," Jeff Foster added.

Xu Nuo didn't say anything else, just nodded, and the second half of the game started.

"Okay, what you are watching now is the second half of the NBA China Game at BJ Station. The 'home team' Los Angeles Clippers will face the 'visitor team' Indiana Pacers. The game will be played at the Wukesong Arena in the National Basketball Stadium." Promised to listen. The commentator Yu Jia said, "At the beginning of the second half, the Indiana Pacers took possession of the ball first, and the team's starting point guard Darren Collison was holding the ball."

"In the first two games, before Xu Nuo was injured, generally speaking, the Indiana Pacers' starting point guard in the second half of the game was Xu Nuo, so that the team's real starting point guard Darren Collison can rest more time.” Yu Jia’s commentary partner Su Qun said, “Now that Xu Xu is out due to injury, Darren Collison has to stay on the court for a while. It still has a certain impact on the team.”

"Teacher Su Qun, why did you talk about me as soon as you came up?" Xu Nuo, who was sitting on the team's bench beside the court, couldn't help but said to himself.

But Yu Jia didn't seem to pay attention to what Su Qun said just now, and started his speech directly: "Now the two teams on the court have sent their own starting lineups, the 'home team' Los Angeles Clippers side It's point guard Maurice Williams, shooting guard Eric Gordon, small forward Jamalio Moon, power forward Blake Griffin and center DeAndre Jordan; while the 'visitor' Indiana Pacers On the Raiders side are point guard Darren Collison, shooting guard Brandon Rush, small forward Danny Granger, power forward David West and center Roy Hibbert. .Darren Collison hands the ball to Danny Granger, Danny Granger drives to the point, Brandon Rush misses an outside [-]-pointer, and Bray of the Los Angeles Clippers Griffin grabs the rebound in the backcourt."

"What's the point? The new Indiana Pacers' new aid, DeMar DeRozan, hasn't officially reconciled with the team. After all, new players in the NBA team still have to pass the team's physical examination. Yes." Su Qun took over the chatter and said, "After DeRozan reconciles with the team, DeRozan will definitely become the team's starting shooting guard. In this way, the Indiana Pacers' lineup is really good. People can't be underestimated, at least there should be no problem in reaching the Eastern Conference playoffs. However, the current Indiana Pacers want to go further in the playoffs, and they have to spend more effort. After all, the NBA There are many strong teams in the Eastern Conference, including the Chicago Bulls, Miami Heat, Orlando Magic, Atlanta Hawks, Boston Celtics and New York Knicks. With the ability to compete for the NBA championship, it is indeed difficult for the Indiana Pacers to break out of the encirclement of these teams."

"But now with the addition of new players such as David West and DeMar DeRozan, some people have said that the Indiana Pacers will become the next New York Knicks." Yu Jia said.

"I personally feel that there is still a certain gap between the current Indiana Pacers and the New York Knicks," Su Qun continued, "Look, no matter where you are, the New York Knicks are better than the Indiana Pacers." The team is a little better. Darren Collison at point guard faces Chauncey Billups, no chance, let alone promises; DeMar DeRozan at shooting guard For Landry Fields, the two are equal; at the small forward position, Carmelo Anthony is naturally slightly stronger than Danny Granger; at power forward David? West and Amar Stoudemire is about the same; neither team is too strong at the center position. In this way, the New York Knicks should be better."

After hearing this, Xu Nuo couldn't help snorting in his nostrils.

"Okay, let's focus on the court again." Yu Jia said, "Just now, David West hit a mid-range jumper from outside the penalty area, and the Indiana Pacers narrowed the point difference slightly. Now Indiana The Pacers are in a point-chasing situation, don't know how the Los Angeles Clippers will deal with the impact from the Indiana Pacers..."

Before Yu Jia could speak, he was overwhelmed by the cheers erupting from the fans in the stands.On the court, the Indiana Pacers seized a mistake made by the Los Angeles Clippers and launched a quick counterattack. Center Roy Hibbert dunked heavily. The Indiana Pacers finally tied the score again!

"Los Angeles Clippers?" Xu Nuo, who was sitting on the bench next to the court, thought to himself, "It's no problem to win them!"
