Chapter 266 Opening
As the referee Dan Crawford blew his whistle in this game, Roy Hibbert defeated Joel Anthony and grabbed the opening jump ball, and the ball came to Xu Nuo.Thus, the first game of the series between the Indiana Pacers and the Miami Heat finally officially kicked off.
"Miami Heat, here we come!" Xu Nuo thought in his heart, pulled himself together, and began to meticulously organize the team's first attack.
From the beginning of the game, the Miami Heat in the away game resorted to zone defense. After all, the Miami Heat's interior is still slightly inferior to that of the Indiana Pacers.Xu Nuo knew very well that there was only one way to break through the opponent's zone defense, and that was to break through the ball and help his teammates shoot from the outside.If the team's mid-range and long-range shots are opened, then there is no fear of the Miami Heat's zone defense.At this moment, what Coach Larry Brown said to himself before the game suddenly sounded in Xu Nuo's mind.
"You have to use your breakthrough to tear through the Miami Heat's defense. The Miami Heat don't have a particularly strong inside player, which creates a big hole for us to break through their defense, and this is exactly what you use to break through. Time!" Coach Larry Brown said to himself at the time.
"Then, now is the time for me to exert my breakthrough power!" Xu Nuo thought in his heart.
However, just after Xu Nuo dribbled the ball into the frontcourt, the team's leading scorer, Danny Granger, reached out to him for the ball, and Xu Nuo couldn't help hesitating.Xu Nuo knows that Danny Granger's breakthrough is actually very ordinary, and if Danny Granger is allowed to attack, the effect may not be very good; but since Danny Granger has already reached out to him for the ball, as a The rookie himself has to hand over the ball.Therefore, Xu Nuo had no choice but to pass the ball to Danny Granger, and he began to cruise back and forth outside the three-point line, looking for open three-point opportunities.
Sure enough, as promised, Danny Granger tried to attack with the ball after getting the ball, but you must know that Danny Granger's opponent is the "little emperor" LeBron James!LeBron James is not so easy to deal with, so Xu Nuo hurriedly looked at center Roy Hibbert and motioned Roy Hibbert to step forward to set up a pick and roll for Danny Granger.
So Roy Hibbert mentioned the high post, blocked LeBron James for Danny Granger, and Danny Granger immediately went around Roy Hibbert and rushed to the Miami Heat with the ball team basket.At this moment, the two big inside players of the Miami Heat, power forward Chris Bosh and center Joel Anthony, immediately moved laterally and blocked Danny Granger's breakthrough line near the free throw line.
"It's closing the door to defend!" Xu Nuo immediately realized, and then, Xu Nuo raised his hands and reached out to Danny Granger for the ball.
However, perhaps because Mario Chalmers was still in front of Xu Nuo, Danny Granger did not choose to pass the ball to Xu Nuo, but passed the ball to the shooting guard on the other side of the court DeMar DeRozan.But at this moment, a red figure suddenly activated and quickly cut off Danny Granger's pass.
It's "The Flash" Dwyane Wade!
"As expected of Wade, the speed is really fast." Xu Nuo thought in his heart, "But, no matter how fast your speed is, there is no possibility that it can match my speed!" Dwyane Wade, who is running towards the frontcourt with the ball.
"As long as they catch up with Dwyane Wade, they won't be able to complete this attack!" Xu Nuo thought.
Promise did catch up to Dwyane Wade, and he caught up to Dwyane Wade when Dwyane Wade was already at the Indiana Pacers' basket.Dwyane Wade did not end the attack by himself, but just threw the ball into the air.Immediately afterwards, Xu Nuo heard a shout from behind.
"Be careful, promise! Be careful behind you, you will be hit!" Danny Granger, who was intercepted by Dwyane Wade, shouted.
Before Xu Nuo had time to look back, he felt his back hit by a huge force.In the next moment, Xu Nuo realized that he had flown to the bottom line of the stadium, and behind him, "Little Emperor" LeBron James was hanging aggressively on the Indiana Pacers' basket. An alley-oop slam dunk, and the passer is "The Flash" Dwyane Wade.
"Damn it, I forgot about LeBron James!" Xu Nuo said angrily to himself, sounding like he was blaming himself.Immediately afterwards, Xu Nuo couldn't help stroking his hand to his back.
The promised action happened to be seen by coach Larry Brown standing on the sidelines of the court.
Coach Larry Brown knew very well that Promise's back had been injured twice. At this critical moment, Coach Larry Brown didn't want any injuries to his players.However, just being hit by LeBron James who jumped up and glides in the air should not be a big deal.
"Are you okay?" DeMar DeRozan, who came to the bottom line and was about to serve, looked at Xu Xu and asked.
"Of course it's okay." Xu Nuo said with a slight smile, taking the ball from DeMar DeRozan.
Perhaps having learned a lesson from the previous attack, this time Danny Granger did not ask Xu Nuo for the ball again.Xu Nuo faced Miami Heat point guard Mario Chalmers in front of him and carefully controlled the ball. "It seems that I can only break through by myself." Xu Nuo thought in his heart.
Xu Nuo has played against Mario Chalmers more than once, knowing that Mario Chalmers has nothing but a precise outside three-point long shot, and his defense is also normal.Therefore, promise to lower the center of gravity of the body, ready to start the breakthrough.
"It's coming!" Mario Chalmers reminded himself in his heart.
At this moment, Mario Chalmers suddenly noticed that Xu Nuo's gaze shifted to the left side of his body, and the wrist of the ball handler was slightly raised, as if to pass the ball.However, just when Mario Chalmers turned his head to see which Indiana Pacers players were ambushing on the left side of his body, Xu Nuo suddenly activated, and instead from the right side of Mario Chalmers Break through the defense of Mario Chalmers.
"No, I was cheated!" Mario Chalmers blamed himself for his negligence in his heart, while turning around quickly, intending to continue chasing Xu Nuo.However, Mario Chalmers' movement speed was still a beat slower than Xu Nuo's. After Mario Chalmers turned around, Xu Nuo had already reached the paint area of the Miami Heat with the ball.
"You don't want to score!" Mario Chalmers became furious, roaring and rushing towards Xu Nuo.In front of the promise, the Miami Heat's two inside players, power forward Chris Bosh and center Joel Anthony, are already ready for battle.
"You can't escape!" cried Mario Chalmers.
However, Xu Nuo smiled coldly, without even looking at the location of his teammates, he directly passed the ball in his hand. "Little Emperor" LeBron James wanted to steal the promised pass, but he didn't even touch the skin of the ball, and the ball went straight to Danny Granger standing outside the 45-degree three-point line .
"It's really a very accurate pass!" Indiana Pacers star Reggie Miller, who was a game commentator at the Conseco Arena, said loudly.
Because LeBron James reached out to steal and lost his defensive position, there was no Miami Heat player in front of Danny Granger at this time, and Mario Chalmers immediately turned to Danny. Granger pounced.Facing the rushing Mario Chalmers, Danny Granger did not hesitate at all, and directly shot from outside the three-point line. The ball rolled in the air and drew a high arc, like a sharp arrow Usually straight through the net.
"Beautiful three-pointer, and equally wonderful assist from the promise!" Reggie Miller exclaimed excitedly.
Mario Chalmers snorted through his nostrils and began to hold the ball to stop the Miami Heat's offense.
Mario Chalmers is naturally aware of the characteristics of the promise. Mario Chalmers knows that the main thing to beware of is the fast counterattack after the one-on-one steals promised by the promise, so Mario Chalmers is attacking with the ball. Be more careful not to be promised to steal.However, when it was time to pass the ball, Mario Chalmers suddenly found that he had no way to pass the ball, because the promise had completely blocked Mario Chalmers' passing route.In desperation, Mario Chalmers had no choice but to choose to pass the ball overhead, but Xu Nuo leaped lightly and blocked Mario Chalmers' pass with one hand.
"Damn it, he still steals it!" Mario Chalmers thought bitterly.
After successfully stealing the ball, Xu Nuo immediately rushed towards the Miami Heat's basket. Mario Chalmers tried his best and still failed to catch up with Xu Nuo, so he had to watch helplessly as Xu Nuo dunked the ball into the basket with one hand.
"This kid, the speed is really too fast!" Mario Chalmers said angrily.
"It's okay, the game has just begun." Dwyane Wade patted Mario Chalmers on the shoulder and said, "In the next game, you still have a lot of chances to beat him!"
