With on-duty referee Derek Richardson blowing his whistle, the second quarter of the Indiana Pacers' home game against the Milwaukee Bucks finally began.
In the first quarter, the Indiana Pacers at home completely dominated the field.Driven by the promise of scoring seven points and three assists in a single quarter as the team's sixth man, the Indiana Pacers led the opponent Milwaukee Bucks by nine points with a score of 27:18 and entered the second quarter. .
At the beginning of the second quarter, the head coaches of the two teams began to send all substitute players to play.The home team Indiana Pacers lineup is point guard Promise, shooting guard OJ Mayo, small forward Rudy Fernandez, power forward Tyler Hansbrough and center Ronnie Turiaf, while the visiting team Milwaukee Bucks The team's lineup is point guard Benno Udry, shooting guard Carlos Delfino, small forward Mike Dunleavy, power forward Luke Richard Mbah a Moute and center Kwame Brown.When former Indiana Pacers player Mike Dunleavy appeared on the court, the Conseco Arena erupted into applause.
It can be said that the most glorious years of Mike Dunleavy's career were spent with the Indiana Pacers, although Mike Dunleavy's entire career was actually not much brilliant.Now Mike Dunleavy is a veteran, but like those veterans, Mike Dunleavy is still playing his residual heat in the Milwaukee Bucks.At least in tonight's game, Mike Dunleavy played fairly well.
However, the outstanding performance of another player completely overshadowed the light of Mike Dunleavy who returned to the Conseco Arena.In fact, not only Mike Dunleavy, but all other players were overshadowed by his brilliance alone.This player is naturally a promise.
In the first quarter, Xu Xu scored seven points and added three assists in less than five minutes, which was already quite efficient.However, from the beginning of the second quarter, Xu Xu's performance began to amaze everyone on the scene.
Less than ten seconds after on-duty referee Derek Richardson blew the whistle to start the second quarter, Mike Dunleavy made a long three-pointer from outside the three-point line. The point difference between the two teams was reduced to just six points.
"As expected of Mike Dunleavy!" Danny Granger, who was sitting on the Indiana Pacers' bench off the court, whispered to himself. Danny Granger and Mike Dunleavy had been teammates for several years. Mike Dunleavy's skill Danny Granger is the clearest.
"It's really efficient!" Xu Nuo thought as he took the ball from OJ Mayo.
After Xu Nuo dribbled to the frontcourt, he handed the ball to small forward Rudy Fernandez.At the same time, Tyler Hansbrough screened for Xu, who took the opportunity to escape Benno Udri's defense and run beyond the three-point line.At this time, there were no Milwaukee Bucks players in front of Xu Nuo, and Rudy Fernandez immediately passed the ball to Xu Nuo.
In the NBA game, it is rare to have no defense in front of you.Xu Nuo seized this rare unguarded opportunity and shot from outside the three-point line.The ball rolled in the air, crossed a high arc, and passed through the net like a sharp arrow.Xu Nuo made an outside three-pointer, and it was less than ten seconds since Mike Dunleavy made the outside three-pointer.
"It's really fast!" Mike Dunleavy sighed.
"The second quarter has just started, and Xu Nuo has already scored the team's highest score!" said the on-site commentator in the Conseco Arena, "What's more important is that Xu Nuo's playing time is only 5 minutes. ! In just 5 minutes of playing time, Xu Nuo made all four shots and got the team's highest ten points. The efficiency is really too high!"
On the ensuing drive, Ronnie Turiaf grabbed a backcourt rebound after the Milwaukee Bucks missed a field goal.Xu promised to hand the ball to OJ Mayo during the fast break, hoping that his assists could be improved again.But Xu Nuo did not expect that OJ Mayo actually passed the ball back to himself.Xu Xu, who got the ball again, had no choice but to shoot from the edge of the penalty area.The ball hit the backboard with a "boom", and then bounced into the basket.
"It's a promise again!" The on-site commentator sighed, "It seems that the promise is going to explode tonight!"
With a rebound shot, the score on the field was rewritten to 32:21, and the Indiana Pacers at home have extended their lead to as much as eleven points.
"It seems that the team has really become much stronger!" Mike Dunleavy, a former player of the Indiana Pacers, sighed in his heart, "We are completely powerless to fight back!"
That's what Mike Dunleavy was thinking as Beno Udrih's pass was successfully intercepted by Promise.This time OJ Mayo did not waste the promised assists, received the promised pass and scored a layup, helping the Indiana Pacers once again expand their lead.
Seeing that his team fell behind the opponent by as much as [-] points in an instant, Milwaukee Bucks head coach Skiles couldn't sit still. He stood up from the coach's bench and shouted at the disciples on the court. shouted.
"Stabilize the rhythm of the game and control mistakes!" Coach Skiles shouted, "Don't be so eager to attack, first do a good job of defense, only by doing a good job of defense can we have a chance to reverse!"
"You want to stage a reversal? Don't even think about it!" Xu Nuo thought in his heart.
The old Indiana Pacers player Mike Dunleavy once again hit a long three-pointer from the outside, but the point difference between the two teams is still in double digits.Xu Nuo once again seized the opportunity to score with a small throw in the counterattack and scored his No.14 point in the game.
"It's only been less than 4 minutes in the second quarter, and Xu Nuo has already scored [-] points, and the shooting percentage is [-]%. This can only be called a miraculous performance!" Paul George on the bench sighed like this, "Is it really like what Danny said, the promise of a big explosion tonight?"
"Looking at it this way, no one can stop Xu Xu's progress tonight." Danny Granger said.
Danny Granger was talking, and the court promised to assist Rudy Fernandez again for a layup, helping the Indiana Pacers extend their lead to fourteen points, and the score on the field has become 38:24.Seeing this situation, Milwaukee Bucks head coach Skiles had no choice but to request a long timeout.
The players on the Indiana Pacers bench stood up one after another and greeted their teammates while applauding.Seeing that the Milwaukee Bucks had to request a timeout, the fans in the Conseco Arena cheered, and the fans on the scene were also applauding the sudden explosion of promises.
Xu Nuo raised his head high, with an expression of arrogance on his face, and walked towards the Indiana Pacers' bench.Danny Granger was the first to meet him, bumping into Promise.
"Nice job, man!" Danny Granger exclaimed to Promise.
"It seems that I have to make a very difficult choice tonight." Coach Larry Brown said to his chief assistant coach Brian Shaw.
"You mean whether you want to replace the promise." Coach Brian Xiao said with a smile, and Coach Larry Brown nodded.
"Looking at how hot this kid feels tonight, I really don't want to replace him." Coach Larry Brown said.
However, despite what Coach Larry Brown said, when nearly half of the second quarter was played, Coach Larry Brown still replaced Promise with Darren Collison.Although Xu Nuo is in very good condition tonight, Xu Nuo is an ordinary person after all and needs to rest.Xu Xu had already scored 44 points and 30 assists at the end of the break, and continued to maintain a [-]% shooting percentage. The Indiana Pacers also continued to lead the Milwaukee Bucks by [-] points with [-]:[-].
It was not until the last minute and a half before the end of the first half that Xu Nuo got another chance to play.But in this minute and a half, Xu Nuo didn't have any outstanding performance, only contributed one steal and one block.With Monta Ellis missing a 52-pointer at the buzzer late in the first half, the Indiana Pacers led the Milwaukee Bucks by 41 points [-]-[-] going into halftime.
"In the second half, we must find a way to contain the oriental boy named Xu Nuo!" Monta Ellis said to Brandon Jennings as he walked towards the visiting team's locker room.
Whether it's Monta Ellis or Brandon Jennings, their numbers in the first half fell far short of promises.Although Monta Ellis and Brandon Jennings had three assists each, their combined score was one less than promised, with Monta Ellis scoring nine in the first half He made only two shots and only scored six points.
And the data of Brandon Jennings is not much better than that of Monta Ellis. Brandon Jennings stared at the front of himself bitterly, "In the second half of the game, I must let that Get a taste of me, boy!" said Brandon Jennings.
