Volume 3 The Road to Champions Chapter 90 The End of the Three Quarters

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In a basketball game, the third quarter can be said to be the most critical quarter of the game. Many teams will seize the opportunity to expand their lead in the third quarter and win the entire game.  Victory, such as the 2008-2009 championship Los Angeles Lakers.  If the Indiana Pacers can expand the team's lead to more than ten points in the third quarter, then winning the final victory will become much easier.

    ??The reason why the Indiana Pacers were able to lead the Oklahoma City Thunder by seven points at the end of the first half was largely attributed to the team's star Danny Granger and point guard Xu Nuo.  The points scored by Danny Granger and Xu Nuo accounted for almost two-thirds of the Indiana Pacers' team scores.  Without Danny Granger and Xu's outstanding performance, the current Indiana Pacers are likely to face a situation of falling behind.  []

    However, as the on-site commentator Jeff Van Gundy said, in the first half of the game, only Danny Granger and Xu Nuo of the Indiana Pacers performed well, while the other players  Their performance can only be described as quite satisfactory.  In the second half of the game, the Oklahoma City Thunder will definitely defend Danny Granger and Xu Nuo tightly. It is still unknown whether the Indiana Pacers can continue their efficient offense as in the first half.

    Coach Larry Brown, as the head coach of the Indiana Pacers, has naturally thought of this.

    In the first offense of the second half, the player who served as the main offensive point for the Indiana Pacers was not Danny Granger or Xu, but power forward David West.

    Such an adjustment caught the Oklahoma City Thunder players off guard. Although Serge Ibaka's defense was relatively good, he was unable to withstand David West's continuous impact.  After David West scored four points in a row, the Indiana Pacers smoothly extended their lead to ten points.

    ¡°It¡¯s not Danny Granger, it¡¯s not a promise, it¡¯s about concentrating the ball in the hands of David West.¡± Oklahoma City Thunder head coach Scott Brooks rubbed his chin and thought quickly.  , "Danny Granger and Xu Nuo both played so well in the first half, but after the start of the second half, they were not the core of the team's offense. In the NBA, there are probably only two people who dare to make such adjustments.  Individuals, one is the fierce coach of the San Antonio Spurs, Gregovich, and the other is coach Larry Brown!"

    Coach Scott Brooks thought this in his mind and soon had a solution to the problem.  Center Kendrick Perkins swapped defensive positions with power forward Serge Ibaka on the court, and the Thunder player standing in front of David West was replaced by Kendrick Perkins.

    "Switched places?" Xu Nuo thought with a slight frown.

    "Although Kendrick Perkins is a good human shield on the defensive end, he is not as mobile as Serge Ibaka on defense. And David is fully capable of shooting from a distance outside the penalty area.  However, Kendrick Perkins' defensive area is not that large. Coach Scott Brooks asked Kendrick Perkins to defend David. This approach is indeed questionable." Sitting on the coaching bench next to the court.  Coach Larry Brown thinks so.

    When facing Serge Ibaka, who had a slightly larger defensive area and was more mobile, David West repeatedly broke through with the ball and attacked Serge Ibaka's defense;  When guarding Kendrick Perkins, who was only within the three-second zone and less mobile, David West began to frequently take mid-range shots.  Facing different opponents, David West adopted different offensive methods, and they all achieved good results.  Although Kevin Durant worked very hard on the offensive end, he was never able to help the team narrow the point difference.

    "Danny Granger scored twenty points in the first half, but now nearly four minutes into the second half, Danny Granger still hasn't scored a point. Is this Larry Brown?  We don¡¯t know the coach¡¯s tactical adjustments. The only thing we can be sure of is that the points scored by Kevin Durant are almost catching up with Danny Granger.¡± On-site commentator Jeff Van Gundy said,  "But despite this, the Indiana Pacers still have the initiative in the game and hold the lead."

    When Danny Granger scored for the first time in the second half, nearly five minutes had passed in the third quarter. Danny Granger received a promised pass from outside the three-point line and hit a long shot from the outside.  Helping the team lead the Oklahoma City Thunder by ten points with a score of 64:54.  Although Xu Nuo still failed to score in the second half, this was Xu Nuo's third assist in the second half.

    Oklahoma City Thunder head coach Scott BrooksThe coach looked at the promise on the court, and the wrinkles on his brows squeezed into the character "Chuan".

    "This is already the thirteenth assist in this game, but only five minutes have passed in the third quarter!" Coach Scott Brooks thought with a frown, "What method should be used?  , can he limit the promise of making assists a snap? After all, the threat his thirteen assists brought to the team is far greater than the eleven points he scored!"

    Seeing that the team was still unable to narrow the point difference, coach Scott Brooks had no choice but to send the team's sixth man, James Harden, onto the court to strengthen the team's offensive firepower.  In this season, I don¡¯t know how many times the Thunder¡¯s three young men led the team to catch up with the score in the third quarter, thereby reversing the game.  Coach Scott Brooks replaced James Harden at this time, not only as a normal rotation of the team's personnel, but also in the hope that the Thunder's three young men on the court can lead the team to narrow the point gap with the Indiana Pacers as they did in the past.  , laying the foundation for the final reversal, but¡ª¡ª

    "Do you think we will let you reverse the game so easily?" Xu Nuo said to himself coldly.

    Xu Nuo broke through with the ball, faced the siege of Serge Ibaka and Russell Westbrook, and skillfully passed the ball from behind Serge Ibaka to center Roy Shee  Bert.  Roy Hibbert hit a hook shot after receiving the ball, and the Indiana Pacers led 66:57.

    The fourteenth assist!

    This is already Xu Xu¡¯s fourteenth assist in this game!

    Coach Scott Brooks was going crazy on the sidelines.

    "Why can't you stop the pass from that kid?" Coach Scott Brooks stood on the sidelines of the court and roared at his disciples.

    When James Harden was replaced just now, coach Scott Brooks also gave point guard Russell Westbrook face-to-face instructions, asking Russell Westbrook to always pay attention to guard against the promised pass.  If you can, steal the promised pass at every opportunity.  However, the promised pass was too elusive. Even if Russell Westbrook was more vigilant, he still could not stop the promised pass.

    Russell Westbrook on the court shrugged, spread his hands, and looked helpless.  Since entering the NBA, Russell Westbrook has played against many top NBA point guards, but in Russell Westbrook's eyes, those top NBA point guards are not as good as this little guy in front of him.  Rookies are hard to guard against.

    "Xu Nuo, this kid, sometimes doesn't play according to common sense at all, and sometimes he is as strict as a traditional point guard. God knows what kind of plan and action that kid will have next.  Russell Westbrook said whiningly.

    Until the second half of the third quarter, the Oklahoma City Thunder at home still trailed the Indiana Pacers on the road by eight points.  In desperation, Kevin Durant had to turn on his personal offensive mode again and scored four points in an instant, giving his teammates and the home team fans the hope of tying and overtaking once again.

    However, just when the Oklahoma City Thunder was about to catch up with the score, Xunuo received a pass from Danny Granger outside the three-point line and made a three-pointer from the outside under the defense of Russell Westbrook.  The ball hits the long shot!  73:66, the Indiana Pacers once again lead the Oklahoma City Thunder by seven points!

    Although this three-pointer was the only score Xu promised in the third quarter, it was also a very critical score.  Relying on the promised long-range three-point shot from the outside, the Indiana Pacers successfully curbed the Oklahoma City Thunder's counterattack momentum and stabilized the game.  From then on, until the end of the third quarter, the Oklahoma City Thunder failed to narrow the point difference to less than seven points.

    At the end of the third quarter, the visiting team Indiana Pacers still led the home team Oklahoma City Thunder by nearly ten points with a score of 79:70.  This is not a good sign for the Oklahoma City Thunder at home.

    ¡°Will the Oklahoma City Thunder lose this game?¡± the on-site commentator Jeff Van Gundy asked, ¡°But you must know that this is the home court of the Thunder.  Big advantage, in the eyes of the young guys on the Thunder team, nothing is impossible."

    Indeed, in the eyes of Xu Nuo, who has already scored 14 points and 15 assists, nothing is impossible.
