Chapter 209 Mr. President
Before the start of the second quarter of the Indiana Pacers' game against the Chicago Bulls at the Chicago United Center, a person's arrival attracted all the fans' attention to the game itself.
——The one who can attract the attention of nearly [-] fans in Chicago's United Center arena to himself is probably not a small person, at least he should be a household name in the United States.
However, ordinary people in the United States have become accustomed to these so-called "big shots". Even if the President of the United States, Barack ***, came to watch the game in person, he would not raise much interest in the fans.
Unfortunately, it was the current president of the United States of America, the skinny black Barack **, who drew the attention of nearly [-] fans in Chicago's United Center arena to him. *gentlemen!
In fact, the fans in the United Center Arena in Chicago have seen Mr. President Barack *** come to watch the game in person more than once. Not only the fans of the Chicago Bulls, but even the people all over the United States know their president It's no secret that Mr. Barack *** is a die-hard Chicago Bulls fan.What the fans in Chicago's United Center are concerned about is the real intention of Mr. Barack *** appearing in the NBA arena to watch the game.
Everyone on earth knows that 2012 will be the year of the general election in the United States. As the current president of the United States, Mr. Barack *** naturally hopes to be re-elected.Mr. President Barack *** appeared on the scene of the NBA. In addition to being able to watch the game live, he wanted to make himself appear more friendly in the eyes of ordinary Americans, so as to win over NBA fans and even NBA players. supported by their votes.
However, we don't know whether the real intention of Mr. Barack *** appearing at the United Center in Chicago is really the case.The fans at the scene only refocused their attention on the upcoming second quarter after a period of commotion. ** Radio basketball commentator Sir Charles Barkley "Big Mouth" also said after exclaiming that Mr. President Barack *** came to watch the game in person: "When did the lovely people of our country start to care? Politics?"
When Mr. Barack *** realized that his face appeared on the big screen at the scene, Mr. Barack *** just habitually waved to the fans at the scene, although he did not get anything give back.Immediately afterwards, Mr. President Barack *** looked up at the scoreboard next to the big screen.
"21:17?" President Barack *** frowned slightly and said, "The Indiana Pacers can't be this good, can they? They actually managed to take the lead."
No one answered President Barack ***, not even the two men in black who appeared to be White House staffers who accompanied him into Chicago's United Center arena.At this time, Derek Stamford, the referee on duty for this game, blew the whistle to start the second quarter, and everyone's attention returned to the game on the court.
As soon as Xu Nuo stepped onto the court, he caught a glimpse of Mr. Barack *** sitting in the first row of spectators by the side of the court, but Xu Nuo was not surprised by this. He was surprised that his team won tonight's game The game is useless!Now what Xu Nuo thinks in his heart is how to deal with the Chicago Bulls in front of him playing with a full bench lineup!
"If the opponent is just a substitute player, the game should be relatively easier." Xu Nuo thought in his heart.
At the same time, President Barack ***, who was sitting on the sidelines of the court, also noticed the only person of yellow race on the court—promise!
"If I remember correctly, this player should be the point guard Xu Xu from China?" President Barack *** asked the staff around him in a low voice.
"Yes, Mr. President!" The man in black beside Mr. President Barack *** nodded and said.
President Barack *** nodded silently, looking thoughtful.
As mentioned earlier, the Chicago Bulls played from the bench at the beginning of the second quarter. The point guard was John Lucas III Jr., who was only 1.8 meters tall, and the shooting guard was sharpshooter Keller Keller. Korver, the small forward is Ronnie Brewer, in fact, it doesn't matter which of them is the shooting guard or the small forward, the power forward is Ty Gibson, and the center is Omer, who the Houston Rockets once wanted to introduce Asik.Promise has a fairly obvious height advantage in front of his opponent John Lucas III, and he should not suffer any disadvantages on both offense and defense.
However, the first point of the second quarter was related to John Lucas. When the Chicago Bulls and Indiana Pacers failed to hit the first offense, John Lucas assisted Keller. Korver hit a long three-pointer from the outside.Help the Chicago Bulls rewrite the score on the court to 20:21, and the two teams are only one point apart again.Mr. President Barack *** on the side of the court clapped his hands while looking up at the scoreboard above the court.
"Tonight's game looks like it's going to be a close game," said President Barack ***.
Before the start of the second quarter, coach Larry Brown handed over the control of the team to Xu Nuo. When to pass the ball and when to play singles, coach Larry Brown completely let Xu Nuo choose.This is naturally the result of Coach Larry Brown's complete trust in the promise, but it is indeed rare for Coach Larry Brown to let a rookie player do this.After John Lucas Jr. assisted Kyle Korver to hit an outside three-pointer, Xu Nuo began to play John Lucas Jr. one-on-one with the ball.
Facing John Lucas Jr., Xu Nuo has a complete height advantage, and is also superior in weight and physical fitness, but in terms of speed, John Lucas Jr. is not much slower than Xu Nuo.As a result, promised not to use his speed to attack the Chicago Bulls' defense, but began to play John Lucas Jr. with his back.
"Xu Nuo really knows how to use his physical advantages rationally." Danny Granger, who was sitting on the bench for the Indiana Pacers, said.
"Yes!" David West, who was sitting next to Danny Granger, nodded and said.
"Promise this kid, he doesn't look like a rookie player at all, but like an old fritter who has played in the NBA for four or five years." Danny Granger said with emotion.
However, although Xu Nuo played John Lucas Jr. in post-up singles, in fact Xu Nuo was still observing the running positions of his teammates on the court.When John Lucas Jr. tried his best to defend Xu Nuo's post-up singles, Xu Nuo suddenly flicked his wrist, and the ball passed through the Chicago Bulls' defense like a cannonball, and went straight to the basket center JJ-Hickson.In the face of Omer Asik's block, JJ-Hickson forced a layup, and the Indiana Pacers once again led the Chicago Bulls by three points.
Mr. President Barack *** looked up at the technical statistics of the players at the side of the court, and found the promised name in a series of lists.
"Six assists?" Mr. President Barack *** said in surprise, "Now the second quarter has just started, Xu Xu has already got six assists!"
Although Mr. President Barack *** was very surprised, this is indeed the fact. After assisting JJ-Hickson to score a layup, Xu Nuo has already got his sixth assist in this game, and the second The first quarter of the game has just passed a minute and a dozen seconds.
"It seems that the good performance of the Indiana Pacers tonight has a lot to do with the promised pass." President Barack *** said to himself.
When facing John Lucas Jr., one thing that makes Xu Nuo more troublesome is that John Lucas Jr. has a relatively low center of gravity when dribbling because of his height, and it is difficult for Xu Nuo to steal John Lucas Jr. ball.But John Lucas Jr. missed a mid-range shot against Promise's defense, and Tyler Hansbrough grabbed the backcourt rebound and handed the ball to Promise, who was already running.
"Fast attack!" Xu Nuo shouted.
However, John Lucas Jr. was not much slower than Xu Nuo. When Xu Nuo single-handedly reached the basket of the Chicago Bulls, John Lucas Jr. had followed closely.
Just then, Xu Nuo heard a familiar voice behind him calling his name, it was Paul George.
So Xu Nuo didn't even look at it, and directly passed the ball behind his back.Paul George behind got the ball. At this time, it was very difficult for John Lucas Jr. to defend Paul George. Paul George easily dunked with both hands and scored. The Indiana Pacers opened up the gap between the two teams. As big as five points.
Mr. President Barack *** by the side of the field watched the game on the field without saying a word.
Although it is difficult to steal John Lucas Jr.'s dribble because of his relatively low dribble center of gravity, it is still possible to intercept John Lucas Jr.'s pass.On the next defense, Promise does just that.This time, John Lucas Jr. failed to catch up with Xu Nuo, and could only watch Xu Nuo score a one-stop layup. At 27:20, the seven-point difference is already the biggest gap in this game so far.
After a layup following a promised steal, Chicago Bulls coach Tom Tebodeau got up and called for a timeout.Xu Nuo walked towards the Indiana Pacers bench with his head held high.Mr. President Barack *** on the sidelines held his chin with a serious expression on his face.
