super point guard

Chapter 355 Argument
Russell Westbrook forces an outside [-]-pointer and misses, center Roy Hibbert picks up the backcourt rebound at the basket, promises to take the ball from Roy Hibbert, fast dribble advances to the front field.At this time, Russell Westbrook turned from the frontcourt to catch up, and finally blocked his body in front of Xu Xu before he began to dribble and break through.Xu Nuo immediately stopped his progress and waited for his teammates to settle down one by one.

"Why don't you fight me?" Russell Westbrook whispered to Xu Nuo.

"Don't be wordy!" Xu Nuo said coldly, and at the same time passed the ball in his hand.After Danny Granger received the ball, he immediately stopped and shot a jumper, but the ball missed the basket again, and a hand-to-hand battle was immediately formed under the basket. David West pressed the spring man Serge Ibaka , grabbed an offensive rebound.But David West failed to get a direct second attack under the defense of Serge Ibaka, and the ball returned to Xu Nuo again.

"Danny Granger's shooting touch is really bad tonight!" Sir Charles Barkley snorted at the side of the court and said, "I don't think any head coach can tolerate his star star four or five times in a row." Shots failed to put the ball in the hoop!"

"Danny Granger is not in good form, so the Indiana Pacers' offensive focus is likely to shift to David West and Roy Hibbert on the inside." "Big Sharks" O'Neill continued.

But Kenny Smith shook his head, "That's not necessarily the case." Kenny Smith said.

As the former champion point guard of the Houston Rockets, Kenny Smith naturally understands the situation on the field better than the two partners around him.Although Danny Granger did not feel good, the team did not shift the focus of offense because of this. The team still focused on outside attack, but the ball stayed in Xu Nuo's hands for a longer time.

Xu Nuo dribbled to the frontcourt, and power forward David West immediately stepped forward to cover Xu Nuo's pick-and-roll. Xu Nuo got rid of Russell Westbrook's defense and rushed towards the Oklahoma City Thunder penalty area with the ball.Just when everyone on the scene thought that Xu Nuo would continue to break through, Xu Nuo suddenly stopped outside the three-point line, collected the ball, and then jumped high, raising the ball in his hand above his head.The ball was thrown before other Oklahoma City Thunder players came up to defend, and the ball went into the net with a "swipe" again!
"It's been almost 4 minutes in the first quarter, and the score is 6:3. It's unbelievable!" Charles Barkley shook his head and said, "And the six points scored by the Indiana Pacers It all came from a promise to a player, and I don't know what the rest of the Indiana Pacers are feeling at the moment."

Before Charles Barkley could finish his sentence, Oklahoma City Thunder head coach Scott Brooks stood up and called for a 20-second timeout.In this timeout, coach Larry Brown decisively made substitution adjustments, replacing Danny Granger, who had repeatedly missed shots, with substitute small forward Paul George.

"Without Danny on the court, the team's offensive points are more scattered, and the ball must be distributed reasonably!" Xu Nuo thought to himself as he walked towards the court.

Due to the team's unfavorable offense, coach Scott Brooks replaced the sixth man James Harden in advance.This kind of substitution adjustment has achieved certain results. Kevin Durant and James Harden each scored a goal, and the Oklahoma City Thunder overtook the Indiana Pacers by one point 7:6.

And because there is no fixed offensive point like Danny Granger, the Indiana Pacers' offense looks a bit sloppy. Although they promise to try their best to distribute the ball reasonably, the team's offense is still not efficient enough. "It seems that I'm the only one here." Xu Nuo thought in his heart, but then he thought about it again. Coach Larry Brown didn't give him unlimited firepower, and he was just a rookie. not too good.Thinking of this, Xu Nuo had no choice but to give up his idea of ​​holding the ball to break through, and handed the ball to power forward David West.

At this time, small forward Paul George, who is also an outside player, ran over to cover Xu Nuo. Xu Nuo took the opportunity to move quickly and received a return pass from David West outside the three-point line.Although two Oklahoma City Thunder players, Russell Westbrook and Thabo Sefolosha, rushed up to defend, Xu Nuo still shot directly from outside the three-point line!The ball went over the heads of Russell Westbrook and Thabo Sefolosha and hit the basket again!Suddenly, there was a burst of exclamation in the Chesapeake Energy Arena.

"Promise, this kid has made three consecutive outside three-pointers since the start of the game!" Kenny Smith said in surprise, "Until now, all the points of the Indiana Pacers have been made by promise alone! It seems that promise More like the leading scorer for the Indiana Pacers than the rested Danny Granger, if he promises to maintain such a good shooting touch, he is likely to be a strong contender for the MVP of this year's finals !"

"Awarding the finals MVP trophy to a rookie?" Sir Charles Barkley said with a look of surprise, "You are too ridiculous, do you think this kid is 'Magic' Johnson?"

In the distant 1980 NBA Finals, "Magic" Elvin Johnson, who was only a rookie at the time, was elected the finals MVP of that session by virtue of his incredible performance in the last game. He is the first and so far the only player in NBA history to be elected as the finals MVP as a rookie.Because of this, it's not surprising that Charles Barkley was surprised when he heard Kenny Smith say that promise is a strong contender for this year's Finals MVP.Although the promise is indeed excellent, the current promise is far less great than the "Magic" Johnson back then.

"However, what if the promise can really produce as terrifying statistics as 'Magic' Johnson back then?" "Big Shark" O'Neill said, "At that time, it is not sure whether the judges will use their votes Vote for the promise!"

"Shaq, you are a three-time Finals MVP!" Charles Barkley said loudly, "Do you think that kid who promised to be the Finals MVP is qualified?"

"Let's not discuss whether the promise will become the MVP of the Finals for the time being!" Kenny Smith said, "Actually, no matter whether you win the MVP of the Finals or not, as long as you can help the team reach the NBA Finals, this is already It is quite a remarkable achievement. In the finals, no matter which player is a real strong player! Moreover, the outstanding performance of the promise is obvious to all, and there is no need for an award like MVP to prove anything!"

"If you say that, then why did Kobe Bryant prove himself through the Finals MVP trophy?" Charles Barkley said with a shrug.

"This is different, don't you think, Shaq?" Kenny Smith said with a smile.

"To put it simply, I have three finals MVP trophies, but Kobe has only two. Even a fool can understand this situation!" "Shark" O'Neal said.

"I think we should really stop this debate!" Kenny Smith said again, "We have been arguing about this topic for a while, and it has been a long time since we watched the game."

"Have we not watched the game for a long time?" Charles Barkley pretended to be surprised and said, "Why hasn't the score changed much? It's still 9:9!"

Indeed, during the nearly 2 minutes of debate between Kenny Smith, Charles Barkley and "Shark" O'Neal, only Kevin Durant scored a goal on the court, and the two teams were still at the same level. on the starting line.Russell Westbrook missed a midrange shot and Roy Hibbert grabbed another backcourt rebound.

"Let's not discuss whether the promise will win the finals MVP trophy, let's say that Russell Westbrook will definitely not get this award!" Kenny Smith said.

"Even if the Oklahoma City Thunder win the championship, it will definitely be Kevin Durant who won the Finals MVP, not Russell Westbrook." "Shark" O'Neal said.

Off the court, "Shark" O'Neal was talking like this, and on the court Xu Nuo had already dribbled the ball to the frontcourt.David West took the ball from Promise and tried to post up Serge Ibaka, but David West's turnaround shot was blocked by Serge Ibaka, who had excellent jumping ability. Fortunately, DeMar DeRozan quickly controlled the ball, and the ball came to Xu Nuo again.

At this moment, Xu Nuo suddenly discovered that Russell Westbrook, who was standing in front of him just now, had disappeared.It turned out that when Serge Ibaka blocked David West, Russell Westbrook was eager to make a fast break, and he was already near the center line.Russell Westbrook had just run from halfway back to near the three-point line when Xu received the ball.However, Xu Nuo ignored Russell Westbrook's interference and once again shot from outside the three-point line!

"This is already the fourth three-point shot promised!" Kenny Smith said loudly, "I don't know if I will continue to hit the basket this time!"

In the voice of Kenny Smith, everyone at the scene heard a crisp "swipe", and the ball went into the net again!
"This is crazy, man!" "Shark" O'Neill couldn't help shouting.

"Four consecutive outside three-pointers!" Kenny Smith sighed.

"The promised three-point goal will definitely spark our debate on the ownership of the MVP trophy in the finals again!" Charles Barkley said helplessly.
