    Xu took the ball from shooting guard DeMar DeRozan and dribbled forward.  In front of Promise, Boston Celtics main point guard Rajon Rondo bent down, held his knees, and faced Promise with all his concentration.

    "If the Indiana Pacers score this goal, then the Boston Celtics will lose any chance of winning!" said the on-site commentator and Indiana Pacers star Reggie Miller, "So Boston  The Celtics must defend against the Indiana Pacers' attack before they have a chance to reverse the game!"

    Rajon Rondo naturally knows this very well, so Rajon Rondo does not dare to relax at all.  Looking at Rajon Rondo's serious expression, Xu Nuo couldn't help but smile coldly.

    "You don't have any chance!" Xu Nuo said decisively, with a tone that would make any opponent tremble.

    However, the promised opponent at this time is Rajon Rondo, not an ordinary NBA player.  Rajon Rondo still stared at Xu Nuo with firm eyes, staring at the ball in Xu Nuo's hand.

    At this time, Danny Granger, the team's top scorer, used center Roy Hibbert's screen to get rid of Paul Pierce's defense, and came to the 45-degree angle three-point line to reach out to Xu for the ball.  "Give me the damn ball!" Danny Granger shouted at Promise.

    "We still have an eight-point lead in our hands, so there is no need to rush to complete the attack." Xu Nuo thought in his heart. Despite this, Xu Nuo still passed the ball in his hand.  "If you rush to shoot in such a hurry, your shooting percentage will be affected!" Xu Nuo said in his heart.

    Danny Granger received the promised pass, faced the rushing "Truth" Paul Pierce, and shot directly from the three-point line.  The ball sailed high over Paul Pierce's raised arms, spun in the air, and headed toward the basket.

    "Go in!" Danny Granger said in his heart.

    However, the ball hit the neck of the basket hard and bounced high.

    "Sure enough" Xu Nuo shrugged helplessly.

    Just as the ball began to fall, center Roy Hibbert beat Boston Celtics veteran Kevin Garnett and firmly collected the offensive rebound in his arms.  However, Roy Hibbert had no chance to complete the attack himself, so he had to pass the ball back to the outside.  And the person who received the pass from Roy Hibbert was Promise!

    "Hurry up and shoot!" Danny Granger shouted at Xu Nuo, "You are undefended now!"

    Indeed, Boston Celtics point guard Rajon Rondo, who was responsible for guarding Xu Nuo, had already left Xu Nuo in order to double-team Danny Granger. At this time, there was no Boston Celtic two meters in front of Xu Nuo.  Team players are defending.  Xu Nuo raised his arm and raised the ball in his hand high above his head.

    "No!" Rajon Rondo shouted, turned around and ran over to block the promised shot.  Facing Rajon Rondo's defense, Xu Nuo did not shoot directly, but waited for Rajon Rondo to fall back to the floor before throwing the ball in his hand.

    "Xu Nuo once again showed his outstanding ability to stay in the air, which is almost comparable to Michael Jordan!" On-site commentator Reggie Miller said loudly, "And this time he showed his ability to stay in the air outside the three-point line. His actions  It¡¯s more difficult!¡±

    Failed to block Xu Jiutianwen!  At 80:69, the Indiana Pacers at home once again led the away Boston Celtics by 11 points.

    "The Boston Celtics have no chance" the on-site commentator Reggie Miller sighed.

    However, the Boston Celtics players on the court still did not give up.

    Rajon Rondo took the ball from Ray Allen and without waiting for Kevin Garnett and his group of veterans to get into position in the frontcourt, he dribbled the ball directly towards the Indiana Pacers' basket at high speed.  Although he promised to follow Rajon Rondo closely, Rajon Rondo still broke through the Indiana Pacers defense, entered the Indiana Pacers penalty area, and faced Roy Hibbert's defense for a layup.  Score.  Rajon Rondo's quick score took less than five seconds, buying valuable time for the Boston Celtics' counterattack.

    "There are one minute and 44 seconds left before the end of the game. Can the Boston Celtics catch up?" said on-site commentator Reggie Miller.

    "Don't even think about it!" Xu Nuo said in his heart while taking the ball from DeMar DeRozan.

    Xu Nuo knew very well that what the team needed most at this time was not to score, but to delay time.  If the team can make the most of those twenty-four seconds of shot time, then even if the Boston CelticsA few more points and they didn't have enough time to turn the game around.  And, wouldn't the Indiana Pacers score again after this?

    As soon as Xu Nuo dribbled the ball across the center line, he stopped, looking at the timer above the backboard, while facing Rajon Rondo and slowly dribbling the ball.  Although Rajon Rondo was anxious at this time, Rajon Rondo still did not dare to step forward and make a steal.  It wasn't until there were about ten seconds left on the shot clock that power forward David West stepped forward to set a pick-and-roll for Promise.

    "Very good!" Xu Nuo said in his heart, and immediately took the opportunity to get rid of Rajon Rondo's defense, bypassed David West, and rushed towards the Boston Celtics penalty area with the ball.  However, before committing, Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce and Brandon Bass and other Boston Celtics players had been waiting for a long time.  Xu Nuo saw that the Boston Celtics' inside line was airtight and had no chance of breaking through, so he had to make an emergency stop.

    "The attack time is almost up, pass the ball quickly!" Danny Granger said loudly.

    However, before Danny Granger could finish his words, Promise's wrist suddenly shook slightly, and the ball flew towards shooting guard DeMar DeRozan, who was standing near the three-point line, like a shell.

    ¡°What a quick response!¡± Coach Larry Brown, the head coach sitting on the sidelines of the Indiana Pacers coaching bench, said in his mind.

    However, DeMar DeRozan's long-range shot after receiving the promised pass missed the basket, and Boston Celtics veteran Kevin Garnett leaped high to grab the defensive rebound.  Rajon Rondo got the ball from Kevin Garnett and immediately launched a quick counterattack.

    ¡°Get back on defense quickly!¡± Xu Nuo shouted loudly, following closely beside Rajon Rondo.  The other Indiana Pacers players were not slow to return to defense, and returned to their team's half in an instant.  Rajon Rondo had no choice but to slow down the pace of the game and fall into a positional battle.  At the same time, Rajon Rondo's wrist flicked slightly, and the ball hit the ground and came to the hands of cutting power forward Brandon Bass.  After Brandon Bass received the ball, he omitted even the most basic adjustments and scored directly for a layup. The Boston Celtics successfully narrowed the point difference to only seven points.

    ¡°But time is getting less and less!¡± said on-site commentator Reggie Miller.

    After being chased by the opponent for four consecutive points, Indiana Pacers head coach Larry Brown stood up and requested a 20-second timeout.

    "We must put the ball into the basket in the next offense to ensure that we will not be caught up by our opponents!" Coach Larry Brown said loudly during the timeout, "After the timeout, the Boston Celtics  The team will most likely engage in full-court press defense, so we must be careful not to let them steal the ball!¡±

    As expected, as coach Larry Brown expected, after the game restarted, the Boston Celtics launched a full-court press defense in an attempt to narrow the point difference.  However, Xu Nuo broke through the Boston Celtics' full-court press defense by passing the ball to DeMar DeRozan and successfully passed the ball to the frontcourt.  Seeing that the game had reached the final countdown, the Boston Celtics players began to defend frantically regardless.  Danny Granger was fouled by Paul Pierce on a breakaway and went to the free throw line.

    "This way the Boston Celtics really have no chance!" On-site commentator Reggie Miller said with a hint of regret.

    After Danny Granger made two free throws, the Indiana Pacers once again led the Boston Celtics by nine points.  After this free throw, both teams began to replace their main players, and the next few dozen seconds of the game had no meaning.  In the end, the Indiana Pacers defeated the visiting Boston Celtics 84:75 at home, rewriting the series score to 1:0 and taking the initiative in the series.

    ????????????? But for Xu Nuo, the joy tonight wasn¡¯t just about the team¡¯s victory over the Boston Celtics.  When Xu Nuo walked down the tunnel to the players' locker room, the beautiful figure of his girlfriend Ellen Page came into view.

    "Ellen!" Xunuo shouted in surprise and ran over quickly.  Promise's teammates looked at them with smiles as they walked into the players' locker room.

    "I saw your performance in the game, you are as good as ever!" Ellen Page said to Xu Nuo with a smile.

    "Really?" Xunuo asked with a smile.

    "Everything about you is still the same as in my memory, nothing has changed." Ellen Page said.

    "It's only been a month, what changes can be made?" Xu Nuo said with a smile.

    Ellen Page smiled, raised her head, bent down, and gently kissed Ellen Page's lips.
