super point guard

Chapter 353 The Golden Partner
With a big score of 3:2, the Indiana Pacers holding the match point came to the home of the Oklahoma City Thunder - Chesapeake Energy Arena.

Under the gaze of NBA President David Stern, the players of the two teams are practicing hard on the court, preparing for the upcoming sixth game of the Finals; The three live game commentators are building momentum for the next game.

"I really didn't expect that this year's finals would go to Game [-], and there might even be a tiebreaker! You know, before the start of the Finals, most fans thought that Oklahoma City, which has home court advantage, The Thunder will easily take out the Indiana Pacers in five games!" Kenny Smith said first.

"Obviously, this year's Indiana Pacers are really lucky!" Kenny Smith's old partner, "Big Mouth" Sir Charles Barkley immediately launched an attack, "Although the gang of boys in the regular season Their performance was good enough and they got a good result in the Eastern Conference runner-up in the regular season, but no one thought that they would go all the way to the finals in the playoffs. Don’t forget that the Indiana Pacers were eliminated in the playoffs. Top-notch teams like the Miami Heat and the Boston Celtics. If Indiana can really win the O'Brien Gold Cup tonight, then everyone on their team can buy a lottery ticket!"

"But it is reasonable for them to go all the way to the finals. After all, their strength has indeed improved a lot this year, especially on the outside, with many good scorers." Kenny Smith said.

"Although the Indiana Pacers have many scorers on the outside, if they don't have enough strength inside, it will be difficult for them to reach the finals!" The third game commentator, the retired legendary center "Shark" Shaquille O'Neal said, "In this year's playoffs, the inside line of the Indiana Pacers played a very important role. Facing the Orlando Magic without Dwyane Howard, the Indiana Pacers The team's inside advantage is quite obvious; and the Miami Heat's inside line has always been weak, and it is also not the opponent of David West and Roy Hibbert; and compared with the Boston Celtics, the Indiana Pacers' The interior is younger and more dynamic. It is precisely because of the reasonable configuration of the interior and exterior that it is not surprising that the Indiana Pacers reached the NBA Finals."

"With so many good cards in hand, a good point guard is even more important." Kenny Smith continued, "Since entering the playoffs, Promise has become the main force of the Indiana Pacers. Point guard. If the offensive end lacked promise's excellent passing organization, it would be difficult for the Indiana Pacers to go as far as it is today. It can be said that promise's joining has changed the team and driven it. Mr. Larry Bird's insight into recruiting Promise to the Indiana Pacers is definitely the most exciting stroke of his general manager career!"

"You mean promise that rookie!" Sir Charles Barkley wrinkled his nose and said, "I personally think that promise just entered a team that is more suitable for him. The defensive counterattack of the Indiana Pacers is sufficient He has played the speed advantage promised. If coach Larry Brown decides not to play defensive counterattacks, but to grind the opponent's position one by one, then Xu Nuo is just an ordinary point guard who can get on the table. You can’t really see how good it is.”

"You said you promised that kid, I really like him." Shaquille O'Neal said with a smile, "He is quite aura when he plays, and he has repeatedly performed amazingly, just like Kobe Bryant when he first entered the league. special!"

"I really don't know if you said this to praise the promise, or to hurt Kobe Bryant?" Sir Charles Barkley said with a smile.

"Guess what?" Shaquille O'Neal asked with a smile.

"I can't guess it," said Sir Charles Barclay, laughing.

"Come on, you two, our great president, Mr. David Stern, is watching us from behind our ass!" Kenny Smith next to him said with a smile on his face.

After Charles Barkley and Shaquille O'Neal finished laughing, Kenny Smith immediately cut to the chase again. "Of course, the reason why the Indiana Pacers have been able to go all the way to today is inseparable from the stable performance of their top scorer Danny Granger." Kenny Smith said, "It is precisely because of the Danny Granger's stable scoring, the Indiana Pacers can play all the way to the present. In the finals, facing the league's top small forward Kevin Durant, Danny Granger did not Don't fall behind, even scored 37 points in a single game on Kevin Durant once, it's unstoppable!"

"Kevin Durant in the finals is really alone!" Shaquille O'Neal said immediately, "Look, whether it's their main point guard Russell Westbrook or the ball James Harden, the team's sixth man, performed very inconsistently in the finals. In the last game, Russell Westbrook and James Harden only scored 24 points combined. Far below their respective season averages. How can the Oklahoma City Thunder win when these two scorers are out of order?"

"That kid Russell Westbrook was completely defeated by Xu Nuo in the last game. In terms of on-the-spot performance, he can't be called the level of the league's top point guard!" Sir Charles Barkley said bitterly, "This game is a last stand for the Oklahoma City Thunder, and there is no retreat. I hope this can inspire the fighting spirit in Russell Westbrook's heart!"

"Not just Russell Westbrook, all the Oklahoma City Thunder players have to give it their all in this game. If the Oklahoma City Thunder lose this game, their entire team The hard work of the season will be in vain." Kenny Smith said.

"Actually, for most teams in the league, reaching the NBA Finals is already a success." Shaquille O'Neal shook his head and said, "The Oklahoma City Thunder, a young team, It is quite a remarkable achievement to be able to grow from a small team to a finals team in just three or four years. With this alone, this Oklahoma City Thunder team Enough to go down in history!"

"But the Indiana Pacers can jump from the eighth place in the Eastern Conference last season to the height of a strong contender for the championship, which is also very legendary." Kenny Smith took the conversation and said, "And the current Indiana Pacers The Oklahoma City Thunder seem to have a better chance at winning the NBA title this season!"

"But don't forget that the remaining two games are held at the home court of the Oklahoma City Thunder. Don't underestimate the strength of the Oklahoma City Thunder at home. The Oklahoma City Thunder only lost two games at home in the regular season." Sir Charles Barkley said, "In my opinion, the Oklahoma City Thunder have full strength in these last two games. Complete the big reversal!"

"So this year's championship will be the winner. Please pay attention to the next game!" Kenny Smith said, "Now, the much-anticipated sixth game of the finals is about to begin!"

During the period when the three "golden partners" Kenny Smith, Charles Barkley, and Shaquille O'Neal talked about it, Xu Nuo always put his energy on the pre-match practice and didn't pay attention to it at all. Listen to what the three of them have to say, and only glance at the commentary booth by the side of the court from time to time when they talk about themselves.At this time, Joe Crawford, the referee on duty for the game, blew his whistle, indicating that the game was about to start, and promised to walk onto the court with his teammates.

"Ha, as expected, Xu Nuo is still the main point guard of the Indiana Pacers." Kenny Smith on the sidelines said excitedly.Sir Charles Barclay beside him wrinkled his nose and shook his head.

After Xu Nuo stepped onto the field and stood in his seat, he began to search back and forth in the fan stands around the field.Soon, Xu Nuo found Ellen Page in the first row of auditorium beside the court. Ellen Page crossed her fingers and looked at herself nervously.Xu Nuo smiled confidently at Ellen Page and raised her thumbs up.

Although Ellen Page came to Oklahoma City with her, her parents and good friend Derek Williams failed to come to the scene. Xu Nuo always felt somewhat regretful.Mom and Dad preferred to stay in Indianapolis because they didn't want to fly so far, and Derek Williams returned to his home in Los Angeles to deal with the sponsors.If I can really win the NBA championship tonight, but I can only have Ellen Paige by my side, it will still be somewhat empty.

At this time, the referee Joe Crawford had already blown his whistle again, and at the same time threw the ball high in his hand.Chesapeake Energy Arena erupted in cheers as Oklahoma City Thunder power forward Serge Ibaka beat Roy Hibbert to the opening jumper with a brilliant bounce.

Promise bent down and began to prepare to defend the Oklahoma City Thunder's main point guard - Russell Westbrook!
