    In the first three minutes of the second quarter, the two teams, the Indiana Pacers and the Boston Celtics, which mostly used substitute players, were in a stalemate. No matter which team was on the court, there was no way.  Completely gain the upper hand.  In order to reverse the situation as soon as possible and restore the disadvantage, Boston Celtics head coach Doc Rivers had to replace the main point guard Rajon Rondo in advance.

    "Darren can hardly be said to be Rajon Rondo's opponent, and Irvington's role is a shooting guard. It seems that coach Larry Brown will send you back to the court soon!" Dan sat next to Xu Nuo.  Ni Granger said to Xu Nuo.  []

    "I don't think that's necessarily the case." Xu Nuo said, looking at point guard Darren Collison on the court. "I believe Darren has the strength to compete with Rajon Rondo, and Larry  ¡¤Coach Brown will not make substitution adjustments so early, no matter what, we have to wait another one to two minutes."

    ??As Xu Nuo said, even if coach Doc Rivers sent Rajon Rondo on the field, coach Larry Brown did not immediately replace Xu Nuo, but continued to maintain the lineup of players on the court.  After Rajon Rondo came on the court, the Boston Celtics seemed to have a slight advantage on the court. As Michael Pietrus received a pass from Rajon Rondo and hit a mid-range jumper, the visiting Boston Celtics  The Special Team was only two points behind the Indiana Pacers at home with a score of 27:29.

    ¡°As expected, he is indeed Rajon Rondo!¡± Danny Granger sighed, while Xu Nuo sitting aside could not help but frown.

    After the team was chased down to only a two-point lead, coach Larry Brown had to stand up and request a timeout.  During this timeout, coach Larry Brown began to make drastic substitution adjustments. Point guard Xu Nuo, small forward Danny Granger and center Roy Hibbert replaced Darren Collison and Paul respectively.  ¡¤George and JJ Hickson are back on the court.

    ¡°Coach Larry Brown actually has moments when he can¡¯t hold his breath.¡± Xu Nuo said to himself.

    "The key is that we have now reached the Eastern Conference finals. Any small mistake may affect the trend of the entire series. If not, the entire season's efforts will be in vain." Danny, who was walking beside Xu Nuo,  Granger said to Xu Nuo.

    Xu Nuo shrugged and said nothing more.

    The referee on duty for this game, Derek Stamford, blew his whistle and the game restarted.  Xu Nuo took the ball from O.J. Mayo and began to organize the team's offense.  Rajon Rondo hunched over, focused on the promise of dribbling downcourt.

    "It seems like this kid is starting to get serious" Xu Nuo faced Rajon Rondo in front of him and thought to himself, "It seems like we have to be careful"

    At this time, power forward Tyler Hansbrough was setting up a pick-and-roll for Danny Granger. Danny Granger quickly got rid of Michael Pietrus' defense and ran to the three-point line to catch the ball.  Xu promised to pass the ball in his hand immediately, but when Danny Granger received the ball, Michael Pietrus once again stood in front of Danny Granger to prevent Danny Granger's attack.  But Danny Granger did not choose to attack by himself. Instead, he passed the ball out again while receiving the ball.

    "It's Roy Hibbert!" Rajon Rondo shouted.

    However, at this time, it was too late for Boston Celtics backup center Greg Stemmesma to cover up the defense. He could only watch Roy Hibbert dunk easily.  Greg Stemmesma got the ball and couldn't help but smash it to the floor.

    "It doesn't matter!" Rajon Rondo comforted Greg Stemmesma. "No one can prevent a goal like that. As long as the score is recovered in the next attack,  That¡¯s it.¡±

    As Rajon Rondo said this, he looked at the referee Derek Stamford, hoping that Derek Stamford would not call Greg Stimesma because of the ball-smashing action just now.  ¡¤Stemesma received a technical foul.  However, although the current NBA league implements a "zero tolerance" policy, referees generally ignore ball-smashing actions like Greg Stimesma's.

    Although his teammates on the court did not think that the point loss just now was Greg Stimesma's mistake, Boston Celtics head coach Doc Rivers still looked for opportunities to put Greg Stemmesma  Stimesma was substituted.  Also substituted were substitute shooting guard Marquis Daniels, and Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce returned to the court at the same time.

    "In this case, Michael Pietrus will appear at the shooting guard position." Xu Nuo thought in his mind, "However, Irvington should be completelyYou can handle it.  "

    However, Xu Nuo soon discovered that it was better not to spend too much time on other people's affairs, because Rajon Rondo's offensive was getting stronger and stronger.  Rajon Rondo continuously broke through the Indiana Pacers' defense with the ball, scored a layup and drew a foul, helping the Boston Celtics recover four points in an instant.

    "What a difficult guy!" Xu Nuo held his knees and looked coldly at Rajon Rondo who walked to the free throw line to take a free throw, and said bitterly in his heart.

    Rajon Rondo¡¯s free throws have never been very stable. This time Rajon Rondo only made his second free throw.  At 33:32, the Indiana Pacers at home were only one point ahead of the visiting Boston Celtics.

    "It seems that at this time, a long-range three-point shot from the outside is needed to extinguish the opponent's counterattack." Xu Nuo thought in his heart.

    So Xu promised to start looking more for the team's top scorer Danny Granger on the offensive end. After all, Danny Granger's shooting percentage from beyond the three-point line is still very good.  However, Danny Granger missed a long three-point shot from the outside after breaking away from the defense. Boston Celtics power forward Brandon Bass grabbed the defensive rebound.

    "Hurry up and get back on defense!" Xu Nuo shouted loudly, "We must not let them overtake the score!"

    The Indiana Pacers players are not too slow in returning to defense. At the same time, the aging Boston Celtics players have difficulty organizing an effective quick counterattack. Except for Rajon Rondo, who can participate in the fast break  Among them are only power forward Brandon Bass and shooting guard Michael Pietrus.  Michael Pietrus received a pass from Rajon Rondo during the fast break and made a mid-range jump shot. The ball missed the basket.

    "Their ability to seize opportunities is too poor" Xu Nuo thought in his heart.

    After power forward Tyler Hansbrough grabbed the defensive rebound, Xu Nuo did not immediately launch a quick counterattack as before. After all, the Boston Celtics also had Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce in the backcourt.  General, and Rajon Rondo's defense speed is not necessarily much slower than what was promised to them.  Xu Nuo slowly dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and began to carefully organize this attack.

    "This goal is very important, we must score this goal!" Xu Nuo said loudly to his teammates while dribbling the ball and raising a finger.

    Danny Granger still used Tyler Hansbrough's man-blocking screen to get rid of the defense as he did in the previous round of offense, and slipped to the 45-degree angle three-point line to catch the ball.  Paul Pierce wanted to continue to cover up the defense, but was firmly blocked by Indiana Pacers center Roy Hibbert.  In desperation, Rajon Rondo had to give up his promised defense and mark Danny Granger, who was no longer guarded.

    "I was waiting for you to come!" Danny Granger shouted.

    Rajon Rondo knew very well that Danny Granger would definitely pass the ball, but Rajon Rondo had no way to block Danny Granger's pass.  Danny Granger flicked his wrist slightly, and the ball returned to Xu Nuo's hands.

    "Not good!" Rajon Rondo shouted in his heart.

    Although Boston Celtics center Kevin Garnett had already saved the three-second zone and covered Xu Nuo with a pair of long arms, Xu Nuo still steadily hit the long three-point shot from the outside.  At 36:32, the Indiana Pacers once again led the Boston Celtics by four points!

    "Finally made it!" Xu Nuo said with relief. The team had a four-point lead and the situation could be a little more stable.

    On the sidelines of the court, coach Doc Rivers made decisive substitution adjustments, and three-point shooter Ray Allen appeared again.  At the other end of the court, coach Larry Brown also replaced Tyler Hansbrough, who had played nearly seven minutes, with David West, the team's main power forward.

    "The end of the first half is getting closer and closer. We must hold on to this four-point lead before the end of the first half!" Xu Nuo thought as he looked at the timer above the backboard.  At the same time, Boston Celtics point guard Rajon Rondo began to speed up the offensive rhythm, trying to catch up with the score before the end of the first half.

    Although Ray Allen contributed a long outside three-pointer to the team after coming on the court, the Boston Celtics were always lagging behind.  At the end of the first half, the visiting team Boston Celtics still trailed the home team Indiana Pacers by four points, 40:44.  "Hey, no more, no less, still four points ahead." Xu Nuo shook his head in amusement and said to himself.

    In the first half of the game, Xu Nuo scored seven points and six assists, while Rajon Rondo, who faced Xu Nuo, scored 13 points, five assists and four rebounds.  The most important thing Xu Nuo should consider at this time is how to limit Rajon Rondo's performance in the second half of the game.

    "If you don't do it right, you'll be thrown away by that guy Rajon Rondo!" Xu Nuo said to himself in his heart.??How to limit Rajon Rondo's performance in the second half of the game.

    "If you don't do it right, you'll be thrown away by that guy Rajon Rondo!" Xu Nuo said to himself in his heart.
