    Relying on the outstanding performance of the team's top scorer Danny Granger and point guard Xu Nuo, the Indiana Pacers played away from home and actually led by 26:20 at the end of the first quarter.  Six points for the Oklahoma City Thunder!  In the first quarter, Danny Granger scored 12 points, while Xu Nuo scored eight points and six assists!  No matter from which aspect, the performance of the two of them can be said to be almost perfect.

    Because of this, when the second quarter began, the only thing Oklahoma City Thunder head coach Scott Brooks could be thankful for was that neither Danny Granger nor Promise would play in the second quarter.  He showed up on the court at the beginning of the second quarter, but sat under the court to rest.  However, despite this, the Indiana Pacers' on-court strength cannot be underestimated.  []

    The five-person substitute lineup consisting of point guard Darren Collison, shooting guard O.J. Mayo, small forward Rudy Fernandez, power forward Tyler Hansbrough and center JJ Hickson has an overall strength of  Definitely not losing to the main lineup of most teams in the league.

    What's more, the Oklahoma City Thunder are also fielding a substitute lineup. Strictly speaking, the only player who can make a difference is James Harden.  Even the task of dribbling the ball to the frontcourt was given to James Harden. As the point guard, Derek Fisher did not get the ball.

    O.J. Mayo bent down and prepared to defend.

    James Harden dribbled to the frontcourt, handed the ball to Derek Fisher, and immediately accelerated and rushed towards the Indiana Pacers penalty area.  O.J. Mayo followed James Harden closely, but was blocked by Oklahoma City Thunder post player Nick Collison who was raised high to set a pick-and-roll for James Harden.  After getting rid of the defense, James Harden immediately changed his running route and came to the three-point line. Derek Fisher immediately passed the ball.

    "Tsk" O.J. Mayo shook his head slightly and immediately blocked James Harden again.  However, James Harden seemed to ignore O.J. Mayo in front of him and jumped directly from outside the three-point line to shoot.  The ball went high over O.J. Mayo's head and passed directly through the net like a sharp arrow!

    "Beautiful!" The home team fans in the stands around the stadium raised their arms in excitement to celebrate James Harden's long three-point shot from the outside.

    O.J. Mayo looked at James Harden, his eyes gradually becoming cold.

    When the Indiana Pacers were on offense, O.J. Mayo passed the ball from Darren Collison just as Darren Collison dribbled into the frontcourt.  Facing James Harden's defense, O.J. Mayo suddenly started a breakthrough and instantly reached the Oklahoma City Thunder penalty area.

    "Oh?" James Harden frowned slightly, looking slightly surprised.

    However, O.J. Mayo was close to the Oklahoma City Thunder basket, and Nick Collison immediately moved to block O.J. Mayo's path.  However, O.J. Mayo's wrist flicked slightly, and the ball passed between the bodies of Nick Collison and James Harden. Power forward Tyler Hansbrough dunked immediately after receiving the ball!  O.J. Mayo smiled and high-fived Tyler Hansbrough.

    James Harden wiped the sweat from his face with the collar of his jersey, but his eyes were always fixed on O.J. Mayo in front of him.

    James Harden and O.J. Mayo have almost the same status and role in their respective teams. In the past, when Xu Nuo served as the team's backup point guard, Xu Nuo was the team's sixth man, but now Xu Nuo is firmly the team's sixth man.  Occupying the position of the team's starting point guard, O.J. Mayo became the sixth man of the Indiana Pacers. However, because the Indiana Pacers have many outstanding substitute players, it is difficult to highlight any one player.  After entering the game, James Harden and O.J. Mayo, who are both the team's sixth men, will naturally become each other's biggest opponents.

    "However, with Irvington's strength, he shouldn't suffer a loss in the matchup with James Harden." Xu Nuo, sitting on the bench of the Indiana Pacers on the sidelines, said to himself.

    Since O.J. Mayo assisted Tyler Hansbrough for a dunk, the Oklahoma City Thunder's offense has completely centered on James Harden.  James Harden received a pass from Derek Fisher outside the three-point line, faced O.J. Mayo's defense, used a shot fake to get rid of O.J. Mayo, and then rushed towards the Indiana Pacers with the ball.  basket.  Since the Indiana Pacers' two major inside players had been attracted away by their opponents at this time, James Harden easily reached the Indiana Pacers basket and scored a layup.

    "Your defense seems a little slow." O.J. Mayo looked at center JJ Hickson and said.

    JJ-Hixson didn¡¯t say anything, but looked at O.J. Mayo silently, with responsible eyes, as if to say: ??If that's the case, then why don't you stop that guy from the three-point line?  "

    Although the strength of several Indiana Pacers players on the court is almost the same, the team intentionally or unintentionally uses O.J. Mayo as the center of the team's offense when attacking.  O.J. Mayo used his offense to divert the opponent's defensive attention, and once again assisted his teammates to score, helping the team maintain a five-point lead.

    "Haha Now Irvington has started to focus on passing the ball. I really didn't expect it!" On the bench of the Indiana Pacers, DeMar DeRozan leaned on the back of his chair and looked at  The game on the pitch said so.

    "After all, Irvington is also a point guard, and he has more or less awareness of passing the ball." Xu Nuo didn't look at DeMar DeRozan at all, and said calmly, "But, I  I believe Irvington will never be content with just making wedding dresses for his teammates, he will definitely use his own strength to defeat James Harden!"

    However, while speaking, James Harden caused a defensive foul by O.J. Mayo on the offensive end.  O.J. Mayo, who stepped to the free throw line, made two solid free throws. At 27:30, the Oklahoma City Thunder at home once again narrowed the point difference to only three points.

    "Every time the Oklahoma City Thunder narrowed the point difference to only two or three points and was about to catch up soon, they were always so close that they could never reverse the score." Sitting on the sidelines of the court, the commentator said  Jeff Van Gundy, the game commentator at the table, said, "Although it looks like the two teams are locked in a tug-of-war, in fact the home team Oklahoma City Thunder has been suppressed by their opponents"

    As Jeff Van Gundy was talking, Indiana Pacers point guard Darren Collison dribbled to the frontcourt, and O.J. Mayo got the ball again.  O.J. Mayo holds the ball carefully against James Harden.

    "I'm going to beat you!" O.J. Mayo whispered to James Harden word for word.

    "Oh?" James Harden frowned slightly again.

    "You just got a foul on me, now, I want you to pay the same price!" O.J. Mayo whispered coldly.

    "Really?" James Harden said, with a smile on his face.

    At this moment, O.J. Mayo suddenly passed the ball, and the ball came to the hands of inside power forward Tyler Hansbrough.  Meanwhile, O.J. Mayo suddenly started, using his speed to get past James Harden, drive to the Oklahoma City Thunder basket, and take the hand of Tyler Hansbrough as he ran past him.  Returned the ball.  Seeing O.J. Mayo trying to take off for a layup, James Harden rushed over.  However, just when James Harden was about to block O.J. Mayo's layup, the referee Joe Crawford blew the whistle. At the same time, O.J. Mayo put the ball into the basket with one hand.  basket!

    "It's true!" Xu Nuo said loudly.

    The referee Joe Crawford ran over, pointed his finger at James Harden, who looked helpless, and signaled James Harden for a defensive foul. Suddenly, there was a boo in the Chesapeake Energy Arena.

    ¡°In the end, you still have to rely on your own strength to defeat your opponent!¡± Xu Nuo said.

    Amid the crazy interference and high-decibel boos from the fans behind the backboard, O.J. Mayo, who walked to the free throw line, made a steady free throw. The Indiana Pacers once again led the Oklahoma City Thunder by six points.  At this time, the buzzer sounded in the Chesapeake Energy Arena. The two core players of the Oklahoma City Thunder, small forward Kevin Durant and point guard Russell Westbrook, were on the sidelines at the same time.  He took off his sports coat and returned to the court.  As a result, the Oklahoma City Thunder's "Three Thunder" are once again gathered on the court.

    Xu Nuo glanced at Coach Larry Brown sitting on the coaching bench, but Coach Larry Brown had no intention of making substitutions.

    Nearly five minutes into the second quarter when Xu and Danny Granger returned to the court again, the Indiana Pacers' lead became three points again.  Xu Nuo walked up to O.J. Mayo with a smile on his face.

    "Both of us have served as the team's sixth man, but we have played a lot at the same time." Xu Nuo said to O.J. Mayo with a smile.

    O.J. Mayo also smiled and nodded, and said: "With our two sixth men on the team, we won't have to worry about being able to restrain James Harden."
