NBA's No. 1 guard

Chapter 211 3 plus 1!

On April 4, the Pacers challenged the Nets away, and the game was held at the Barclays Center Arena.

This is the place where Xu Xiang won the MVP of the Rookie Challenge, and it is also the place where they lost miserably.

Before that, they had played two games in total. This was the third and the last game. The first two games ended in failure. This game was their only chance to save face. For now, if the Pacers win this game, it will have a crucial impact on their future schedule. There is a saying: one step is fast, every step is fast, and that is the truth.

Paul George did not come over with the plane, and he was still sitting with the trainer in Indiana for recovery training. The Pacers officially planned to hold a press conference on April 4 after this "two consecutive trips", and announced the news of Paul George's return from injury.

Before the game, the smell of gunpowder on both sides was very strong. After all, for both sides, this is not just a small regular season.

The home fans did not cheer for Xu Xiang, the young man who won the MVP in their stadium not long ago. At the moment of life and death, only winning is the most important thing.

"This game is a crucial game for both sides of the match today." In the studio, Teacher Wang said with emotion.

"Whoever wins can take the initiative in the following situation in April."

"Teacher Su, what do you think?"

Teacher Su pondered for a while, and said:
"The winner or loser of the game should also be reflected in the performance of the role players. Whether it is Xu Xiang or Johnson, their scoring cannot be the key to the outcome. It depends on how the role players perform."

"I heard that Paul George is coming back?" Mr. Wang said suddenly.

"I don't know if he will have a chance to play in the next game."

Teacher Su also nodded silently. The two of them were speechless for a while, and they both seemed to be preoccupied.

The relationship between Xu Xiang and Paul George is unknown to outsiders. If there is a disagreement at that time, there will definitely be problems, and Xu Xiang, who has a relatively weak foundation, will definitely be the one who suffers. This kind of thing can't help worrying everyone who pays attention to and cares about Xu Xiang.

At this time, the starting players of the game were also given on the big screen, the Pacers: George Hill, Xu Xiang, Solomon Hill, West, Hibbert.

Nets starters: Jarrett Jack, Markelle Brown, Joe Johnson, Plumlee, Lopez.

It is rare for the Nets to deploy a "three guards" lineup, but they actually abandoned "De Xiaopang" and chose to start Jarrett Jack. Xu Xiang didn't understand the tactics of their coach Lionel Hollins. What is this playing?
Stimulate?

Xu Xiang could see the gloom on Deron's face sitting off the court. You must know that he was the one who could compete with Paul for the "League's No. [-] point guard". Although he is a little older and fatter now, this is not the reason why you asked me to be a substitute.

The jump ball starts.

Hibbert faced Lopez, and the two were old rivals again. Relying on his stature, Hibbert easily won the first round of offense for the Pacers.

After the start of the game, the Nets played extremely tenaciously. Under the leadership of the singles "Joe", the rest of the Nets opened up, all kinds of desperate breakthrough layups, and the three-pointer from the outside did not know whether it was a drug or something.

During the break, the Pacers players lost their confidence a little bit. They were led by 10 points in the first quarter, and the momentum was much worse.

In the second quarter, the Pacers adjusted the lineup, and Xu Xiang personally played the game and led the substitutes to play.

He couldn't help it, and now "De Xiaopang" has no one to restrain him. Even if Watson, who is defending him, has tried his best, he still can't stop him.

Xu Shang's purpose was not to defend him, but to fight him.

Now the Pacers lineup, the outside CJ Watson, Xu Xiang and CJ Miles with the inside Lavoy Allen and Ian Mahinmi.

The Nets still have a three-guard lineup at the beginning, with Deron Williams, Darius Morris, and Mark Brown on the outside and Bojan Bogdanovic and Plumlee on the inside. Their lineup is more mobile than the starting lineup. Plumlee has moved to the center position. The most notable thing is that their offense and defense speed have increased.

The Pacers attacked first, and CJ Watson's breakthrough rhythm was better than Deron's. He had no choice but to pass the ball to CJ Myers on the outside. Myers still held the ball and went in. Today he only hit a three-pointer, and the others did not open. The hand feeling is not very good, so he does not dare to take risks.

Plumlee assisted the defense at the first time. His footsteps were very flexible and the speed of the assisted defense was very fast. Miles took a step and missed a layup, and Plumlee got the rebound.

De Xiaopang pushed and counterattacked quickly. After dribbling the ball to half court, he handed over a Plumlee screen pick-and-roll. With the moment of misplacement, Deron ball was given to Plumley. CJ Watson, who was switched by the Pacers, was completely attracted by Deron.

The rebound was picked by Mahinmi. Before playing, Coach Nate gave him the instruction: Don't leave the inside, unless it is a pick-and-roll cover, or stay inside.

Plumlee gave up this idea after several "seduces" to no avail. Since you won't come out, I will come out.

Ian Mahinmi replied with only two: "NO"!
You can beat me inside, but never let me out.

For the Pacers, Xu Xiang faced Darius Morris with the ball, and Morris stuck to Xu Xiang tightly, not giving him room to shoot.

After a long run, CJ Myers wanted to come out to catch the ball, but Mark Brown looked down on him very much, and CJ Watson was also firmly held behind him by "De Xiaopang". Lavoy and Mahinmi on the inside didn't have any good opportunities.

Xu Xiang thought about it, and was still ready for singles. After taking a step behind him, Xu Xiang chose Harden's posture: a three-pointer step back.

Morris defended really well, but Xu Xiangzhun didn't reason with you when he got up, and he made a successful hit with a bang!

At the same time, the referee also blew the whistle, and Morris thugs fouled.

Morris was very dissatisfied with the referee's whistle, and went up to the referee to argue. He felt that he had not fouled, but the referee didn't buy it at all, and indicated that if he was talking, he would give it to T.

　Ask for a monthly pass.
