According to coach Larry Brown's tactical arrangement, Promise should give the ball to the power forward David West inside. However, the Miami Heat player "Little Emperor" LeBron James, who was responsible for marking David West, David West launched a semi-forward defensive strategy. If he promised to hand the ball to David West, he would probably be intercepted by LeBron James. However, the team's top scorer Danny Granger was also closely watched by Shane Battier, who promised not to give the ball to Danny Granger.
"What should we do?" Xu Nuo thought in his heart.
Indiana Pacers shooting guard DeMar DeRozan just reached out to ask for the ball. "Flash" Dwyane Wade immediately blocked his body in front of DeMar DeRozan to interfere with DeMar DeRozan. DeRozan's catch. With these three teammates being closely watched, Xu Nuo had no choice but to hand the ball to inside center Roy Hibbert.

"After all, we have expanded our lead." Xu Nuo said in his heart.
On the offensive end, the Miami Heat once again relied on the cooperation between "Little Emperor" LeBron James and "Flash" Dwyane Wade to create scoring opportunities. Standing at the top of the arc outside the three-point line, Miami Heat point guard Mario Chalmers received a pass from Dwyane Wade, faced the rushing defense, and threw the ball in his hand. .
"I won't let you score!" Xu Nuo said in his heart, straightening his arm and blocking Mario Chalmers' three-point shot with his fingertips.
"What?" Mario Chalmers was shocked.
After blocking Mario Chalmers' shot, Xu Nuo got the ball before Mario Chalmers, and then ran towards the Miami Heat basket with the ball. At the same time, "Little Emperor" LeBron James and "Flash" Dwyane Wade started at the same time to pursue the promise of fast breaks with the ball. However, Xu Nuo did not choose to score a layup by himself. Instead, when LeBron James and Dwyane Wade were about to catch up to the basket, he threw the ball towards Danny Granger who was well positioned outside the three-point line. !
"Little Emperor" LeBron James immediately changed direction and rushed towards Danny Granger. However, Danny Granger showed no fear on his face and threw the ball in his hand before LeBron James pounced on him. The ball flew high over LeBron James' head and hit the net with a "swipe" sound!
"Beautiful!" The players on the Indiana Pacers bench stood up and clapped excitedly. After Danny Granger hit this long outside three-pointer, the Indiana Pacers The team is already six points ahead of the Miami Heat!
"Mario Chalmers' three-pointer was intercepted by the opponent, and then the opponent scored an outside three-pointer. In this way, the Miami Heat lost six points." American Airlines Center The game commentator in the arena said, "The Miami Heat now need to solve the team's offensive problems as soon as possible. If the offense is not good, it will be difficult to win tonight's game!"
The Miami Heat players on the court seemed to have heard what the game commentator said, and immediately hit a goal by "Flash" Dwyane Wade in the next attack.

If the team could?By holding on to this four-point lead in these four minutes of play, the team is very likely to win this away game.

¡°It would be enough if we could expand the lead to about ten points.¡± Xu Nuo thought in his mind.
Xu Nuo wanted to pass the ball to inside center Roy Hibbert again. However, the Miami Heat players obviously paid attention to defending Roy Hibbert. "Little Emperor" LeBron James was also ready to steal Xu Nuo at any time. Pass to Roy Hibbert. So, Xu promised to change his strategy and began to break through the Miami Heat's defense on his own.
"That's right, just do it!" Coach Larry Brown, who was sitting on the sidelines of the court, saw Xu Nuo preparing to break through Mario Chalmers one-on-one. He couldn't help but nodded in agreement and said in his heart.
Facing Mario Chalmers, Xu Nuo got past Mario Chalmers' defense without spending too much effort. Immediately afterwards, Xu Nuo accelerated towards the Miami Heat's basket.

Despite Shane Battier's timely defense, DeMar DeRozan still hit this long outside three-pointer.
"Hitting a three-pointer from the outside for the second consecutive time!" the game commentator in the American Airlines Center sighed. "Both these two three-pointers came from promised assists. Didn't the Miami Heat think of a good one?" Is there any way to limit the promise? The Indiana Pacers have already made two outside three-pointers driven by the promise. If this continues, the Miami Heat's outside shots will be squandered by their opponents!"

"Flash" Dwyane Wade received a pass from LeBron James and scored a layup. The Miami Heat rewritten the score to 84:89.
"It's really hateful!" Xu Nuo said bitterly.
"It doesn't matter," Danny Granger patted Xu Nuo's shoulder and said with a smile, "This mistake is not entirely your fault. Moreover, you could have chosen to attack by yourself just now, and you did not have to pass the ball. Give it to your teammates!¡±
