Although Rajon Rondo wanted to go on the court to kill the enemy at this time, he could only sit on the sidelines and watch his teammates play. This made Rajon Rondo feel very depressed and just wanted to kick the chair at his feet. foot.
However, coach Doc Rivers seemed to see the dissatisfaction in Rajon Rondo's heart at this time and walked up to Rajon Rondo. []
"Don't worry, Rajon!" Coach Doc Rivers said to Rajon Rondo, "You will be back on the court soon!"
Veteran Kevin Garnett, who was sitting next to Rajon Rondo, gently patted Rajon Rondo on the back. Rajon Rondo didn't say anything and put his eyes on the court. At this time, Boston Celtics substitute small forward Michael Pietrus hit a mid-range jumper, but the Boston Celtics were still lagging behind.
And Indiana Pacers head coach Larry Brown also did not send Xu Nuo to play. The Indiana Pacers point guard on the court was substitute George Hill. The five main players, point guard Xu Xu, shooting guard DeMar DeRozan, small forward Danny Granger, power forward David West and center Roy Hibbert, were all sitting under the court. , the Indiana Pacers on the court are all substitute players.
¡°To actually send a full substitute lineup to play, this is too much to underestimate our Boston Celtics!¡± Coach Doc Rivers clasped his hands and said angrily in his heart.
In fact, the Boston Celtics lineup on the court at this time can also be called a full bench lineup. Shooting guard Avery Bradley is nominally the team's main shooting guard. In fact, his identity and substitute almost. The original main shooting guard of the Boston Celtics, Ray Allen, was injured in the game, so coach Doc Rivers put Ray Allen on the bench and did not include Ray Allen. Among the main roster.
Indiana Pacers substitute shooting guard O.J. Mayo received a pass from George Hill and hit an outside three-pointer from beyond the three-point line. The Indiana Pacers at home led the away game 30:20. The Boston Celtics are up to ten points! The moment the ball passed through the net, the fans in the Conseco Arena cheered again.
"Is there really no way for the Boston Celtics to turn the game around?" said the on-site commentator and Indiana Pacers star Reggie Miller.
Boston Celtics head coach Doc Rivers kept pacing back and forth on the sidelines, thinking of ways to contain the Indiana Pacers and turn the game around.
"Maybe the only way to do this is to send Rajon back to the court" Coach Doc Rivers said to himself.
Rajon Rondo got his wish after only sitting on the bench for about two minutes. Coach Doc Rivers was forced to send Rajon Rondo on the court due to the situation on the court. When Rajon Rondo stepped onto the court again, his team trailed the Indiana Pacers by eleven points, 23:34.
"We shouldn't be that weak." Rajon Rondo said to his teammates on the court after walking onto the court.
Michael Pietrus and the others looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
"The Indiana Pacers are indeed very strong, but our strength will definitely not lose to them!" Rajon Rondo said word for word, "If we go all out, we will not have no chance. You can definitely defeat your opponent and win the game!¡±
After Rajon Rondo finished speaking, he looked at his teammates around him.
"Do you think it's impossible for us to beat the Indiana Pacers?" Rajon Rondo asked.
¡°Of course we can beat our opponents!¡± Michael Pietrus said.
"But the key to the problem is how to catch up with this eleven-point difference!" Power forward Brandon Bass, who returned to the court at the same time as Rajon Rondo, continued.
"As for this question, the answer is actually very simple." Rajon Rondo said, with a cold smile on his lips.
When other Boston Celtics players saw Rajon Rondo¡¯s expression, they all knew in their hearts that Rajon Rondo was about to start his personal offensive mode.
However, it is still unknown whether Rajon Rondo, who lacks a stable jumper, can turn the tide on his own like Kobe Bryant.
The referee on duty for this game, Joe Crawford, blew his whistle, and Rajon Rondo took the ball from Avery Bradley.Start pushing forward. Indiana Pacers point guard George Hill is hunched over and focused on Rajon Rondo.
"George's defense is better than that of our point guards. I believe he will definitely limit Rajon Rondo very well!" Xu Nuo said while watching the game on the court.
"That's not necessarily true." Danny Granger, who was sitting next to Xu Nuo, said.
"Oh?" Xunuo frowned and turned to look at Danny Granger, but Danny Granger didn't say anything more, so Xunuo had to turn his attention to the court again.
At this moment, Rajon Rondo suddenly started on the court and broke through George Hill's defense with a cross step. Although George Hill was always following Rajon Rondo's footsteps, Rajon Rondo still penetrated the Indiana Pacers and scored an easy layup.
"After Rajon Rondo broke through just now, our inside players should have quickly prepared to cover up the defense, but JJ-Hixon did not move at all. It was impossible to stop Rajon Rondo with just the strength of Taylor. "Xu Nuo held his chin and said to himself.
"If you were defending Rajon Rondo just now, what would you do?" Danny Granger asked Xu.
"I will try my best to jump up and block Rajon Rondo's layup, just like I did in the first quarter." Xunuo replied, "Of course, I want to block Rajon Rondo's layup." The layup is still quite difficult."
"So, do you think George can make that block on Rajon Rondo?" Danny Granger then asked.
Xu Nuo wrinkled his nose, "I'm afraid it's difficult." Xu Nuo said.
"Because of this, the person who did the best job of defending Rajon Rondo was not George, but your promise!" Danny Granger said.
Xunuo shrugged, "Okay." Xunuo said, "If you must say that, then I don't have any objection." Danny Granger smiled.
At this time, Rajon Rondo once again broke through with the ball on the court. This time, two inside players, JJ Hickson and Tyler Hansbrough, all blocked Rajon Rondo's breakthrough layup. So Rajon Rondo flicked his wrist slightly, and the ball passed through the gap between JJ Hickson and Tyler Hansbrough, and came to the hands of Boston Celtics power forward Brandon Bass.
"No!" Tyler Hansbrough shouted.
Before Tyler Hansbrough's words could even be heard, Brandon Bass dunked successfully. At 27:34, the Boston Celtics trailed the Indiana Pacers by "only" seven points.
"The Boston Celtics have launched counterattacks more than once, but they have failed every time. I wonder what will happen this time?" said on-site commentator Reggie Miller.
Promised not to talk to Danny Granger anymore and to concentrate on watching the game on the court.
Shooting guard O.J. Mayo broke through Avery Bradley's weak defense with the ball, cutting into the Boston Celtics' defense like a sharp knife. Although Boston Celtics power forward Brandon Bass moved quickly and blocked O.J. Mayo from the basket, O.J. Mayo still threw the ball in his hand, and the ball hit the board and went into the basket.
"Damn it!" Brandon Bass cursed in a low voice.
"It doesn't matter, this ball is difficult to defend, attack quickly!" Rajon Rondo said while taking the ball from Brandon Bass.
"It seems that Rajon Rondo is the leader of the Boston Celtics now!" Xu Nuo said.
Xu Nuo didn¡¯t know that the team¡¯s head coach Larry Brown, who was standing in front of the bench, heard his words.
"Leader" Coach Larry Brown thought silently in his heart.
Although the two core players of the Indiana Pacers, small forward Danny Granger and power forward David West, have returned to the court, the Boston Celtics are still led by Rajon Rondo. The score was only five points behind the Indiana Pacers at 31:36.
¡°Will the Boston Celtics really catch up and overtake the score this time?¡± said on-site commentator Reggie Miller.
At this moment, coach Larry Brown stood up and requested a timeout.
"In the past few minutes, Rajon Rondo has indeed behaved like a leader of a team." Coach Larry Brown said in his heart, "But a real leader should lead himself We won the game together with our teammates!" Coach Larry Brown thought in his heart, but his eyes looked at Promise who stood up from the bench.
"Promise, get ready to play!" Coach Larry Brown said to Xu Promise, "Go and suppress Rajon Rondo's arrogance and tell that guy what a real team leader should look like!"
Xu Nuo turned around and looked at his head coach in surprise.The promise of standing up.
"Promise, get ready to play!" Coach Larry Brown said to Xu Promise, "Go and suppress Rajon Rondo's arrogance and tell that guy what a real team leader should look like!"
Xu Nuo turned around and looked at his head coach in surprise.
