Shortly after the game restarted, Boston Celtics ace small forward, "Truth" Paul Pierce quickly used a forced breakthrough to score a layup, helping the Boston Celtics narrow the point difference. While returning to defense, Paul Pierce signaled to referee Derek Stamford that Indiana Pacers center Roy Hibbert had committed a foul on defense, but referee Derek Stamford ignored it.
¡°It looks like the Boston Celtics are likely to rely on Paul Pierce to catch up!¡± said the on-site commentator and Indiana Pacers star Reggie Miller. []
"However, no matter what you say, the lead is in the hands of our Indiana Pacers!" Xu Nuo said coldly in his heart.
After seeing Paul Pierce score a layup, Indiana Pacers head coach Larry Brown's face did not change at all. "I believe you can solve the problem on your own, just like you always have!" Coach Larry Brown thought in his mind.
After promising to dribble to the frontcourt, the team's top scorer Danny Granger used power forward David West's screen to get rid of the defense and ran to the 45-degree angle three-point line to catch the ball. Although Paul Pierce quickly rushed in front of Danny Granger to block Danny Granger's shot when Danny Granger received the ball, Danny Granger still easily hit the shot. A long three-point shot from the outside.
"As expected of Danny Granger, he stabilized the morale of the army!" Reggie Miller said loudly.
Danny Granger high-fived Xunuo when he returned to defense, and Xunuo smiled, "Just relying on this outside three-pointer, you can extinguish the counterattack momentum you just launched!" Xunuo was in his heart. Thinking like this, "Boston Celtics, what else do you want?"
The Boston Celtics still handed the ball to Paul Pierce when attacking, and then other players opened up space for Paul Pierce, allowing Paul Pierce to hold the ball and hit Danny Granger in isolation. Paul Pierce's body looks stockier than Danny Granger. When Paul Pierce starts to post up, it is difficult for Danny Granger to use his body to block Paul Pierce. Paul Pierce half-turned and then shot a fadeaway jumper, and the ball hit the net again!
"This guy is too difficult to defend!" Danny Granger shook his head helplessly and said to himself.
Coach Larry Brown looked at Paul Pierce and couldn't help but frowned slightly.
Even though Paul Pierce scored four points in a row relying on his personal ability, the Indiana Pacers still have a six-point lead, and there is no need for the Indiana Pacers players to panic. Xu cross-stepped past Boston Celtics point guard Rajon Rondo, then broke through and scored. Center Roy Hibbert immediately dunked after receiving the pass.
¡°Kevin Garnett is really old!¡± On-site commentator Reggie Miller sighed, ¡°It¡¯s hard to keep up with those young people!¡±
On the offensive end, Rajon Rondo still chose to hand the ball to Paul Pierce. However, this time Paul Pierce missed the shot. The Indiana Pacers immediately launched a quick counterattack after getting the defensive rebound. Although those Boston Celtics players struggled to catch up, they were never able to catch up to the promise of dribbling toward the Boston Celtics basket. Xu Nuo reached the frontcourt and then jumped up and scored a one-handed dunk. The home team Indiana Pacers had extended their lead to double digits.
Seeing that the team was still unable to reverse the situation and fell further and further behind, Boston Celtics head coach Doc Rivers had no choice but to get up and request a timeout again. Seeing the Boston Celtics request two timeouts in less than four minutes, Indiana Pacers fans in the stands around the stadium were close to going crazy.
After this timeout, Doc Rivers replaced Avery Bradley, the starting shooting guard of the Boston Celtics, and replaced one of the Big Three who had to sit on the bench due to injury. three-point shooter Ray Allen. "It's up to you, Ray!" Coach Doc Rivers said to Ray Allen.
"Sure enough, it's here!" Coach Larry Brown saw Ray Allen replacing Avery Bradley on the court, and his attention was focused again.
But Indiana Pacers shooting guard DeMar DeRozan was extremely excited, "It's finally here!" DeMar DeRozan said to himself as he geared up, "I've been waiting for you for a long time!"
"It seems that DeMar really wants to play against Ray Allen!" Xu Nuo looked at DeMar DeRozan and thought to himself, "In this way, DeMar will definitely perform in front of Ray Allen. Very active, we may be able to use this to attack and defend"
Ray Allen scored shortly after taking the fieldAt this opportunity, the two major inside players of the Boston Celtics, center Kevin Garnett and power forward Brandon Bass, both provided screens for Ray Allen, and Ray Allen turned around on the court. After a long circle, he finally found a shooting opportunity outside the three-point line. Rajon Rondo immediately passed the ball, and Ray Allen didn't think much about it after receiving the ball, and directly took off and shot from outside the three-point line.
During this period of time, Xu Nuo has been observing DeMar DeRozan. Although DeMar DeRozan has been working very hard to defend Ray Allen, he was eventually freed from the defense by Ray Allen. When Ray Allen shot from outside the three-point line, it was too late for DeMar DeRozan to continue to defend. He could only watch the ball leave Ray Allen's fingertips and fly towards the basket. basket.
"Don't go in!" DeMar DeRozan thought in his heart.
The ball rolled rapidly in the air and hit the edge of the basket with a "dang" sound. "How lucky!" DeMar DeRozan couldn't help but secretly rejoice.
However, at this moment, Boston Celtics power forward Brandon Bass jumped high from the basket, got the ball in the air, and then dunked with both hands to score. Brandon Bass' dunk was so powerful that it actually forced Indiana Pacers center Roy Hibbert to take two big steps back and almost hit the basketball hoop. The Boston Celtics bench players all jumped to their feet courtside, excitedly celebrating Brandon Bass's dunk.
"This dunk is quite powerful!" the on-site commentator Reggie Miller said loudly, "Brandon Bass is completely playing in the air, and no player on the Indiana Pacers can stop him. !¡±
"Actually, it was because David failed to stay in position when fighting for rebounds that Brandon Bass dunked." Xu Nuo said coldly in his heart, "If I were David, I would definitely not It¡¯ll give Brandon Bass a chance to dunk!¡±
After returning to the offensive end, David West began to reach out to Xu Nuo for the ball, obviously intending to score in return for Brandon Bass. Xu Nuo had no choice but to hand the ball to David West. David West received the ball with his back to Brandon Bass and then started dribbling for a single.
"Be careful of Kevin Garnett, this old guy might jump out to cover at any time!" Xu Nuo said in his heart, while keeping an eye on Kevin Garnett all the time, and at the same time, he also had to be wary of Rajon Rondo. David West used Brandon Bass' body as the axis, turned around and shot a hook shot. At this moment, Kevin Garnett jumped high and blocked David West's shot.
"What?" David West was shocked.
The Boston Celtics immediately launched a quick counterattack after getting the ball. "Kevin Garnett is so old, but he can still block shots like that" David West quickly returned to defense, While thinking this in his own mind.
In fact, there are not many Boston Celtics players who can participate in the quick counterattack. There is only one Boston Celtics player in the frontcourt, Rajon Rondo, and they promise to focus on Rajon Rondo. However, just as Rajon Rondo entered the paint area of ??the Indiana Pacers, Rajon Rondo suddenly flicked his wrist slightly, and the ball flew beyond the three-point line like a shell.
"It's Ray Allen!" Xu Nuo shouted.
"Damn it, he actually got rid of it again!" DeMar DeRozan cursed in a low voice while rushing towards Ray Allen with all his strength. However, before DeMar DeRozan rushed up, Ray Allen had already shot from beyond the three-point line. This time, Ray Allen did not miss another opportunity. The ball passed through the net with a "swipe" like a sharp arrow!
"The Boston Celtics have scored five points in a row!" Reggie Miller shouted on the sidelines. "Since Ray Allen came on the court, the Boston Celtics have launched a counterattack. It seems that Doug ¡¤Coach Rivers¡¯ substitution adjustments this time still have a certain effect!¡±
Xu Nuo glanced at Coach Larry Brown and saw that Coach Larry Brown had no intention of calling a timeout, so he had to continue dribbling the ball forward. Although the Boston Celtics scored another four points in a row, led by Rajon Rondo, the Indiana Pacers relied on Danny Granger's buzzer-beating shot before the end of the first quarter. Maintaining a five-point lead at 24:19. In the first quarter of the game, Xu Nuo scored four points and four assists.
"In the next games, you must work more on defending Ray Allen!" Xu said to DeMar DeRozan as he walked towards the team's bench, "Boston Kyle The counterattack momentum of the Special Team was driven by Ray Allen!"
A sneer appeared at the corner of DeMar DeRozan's mouth, "Just wait and see!" DeMar DeRozan said through gritted teeth.
Xu Nuo looked at DeMar DeRozan and couldn't help but reveal a smile.?Looking at DeMar DeRozan, a smile couldn't help but appear on his face.
