Chapter Sixty-Seven: Kill the Bloody George and Complete the Elite Mission
After Paul George replaced Foster, he was given the responsibility of defending Yuan Shu! This is the first time the two have faced each other in this match!
With less than 6 minutes left before the end of the game, Yuan Shu has already scored 35 points, 11 rebounds and 4 blocks! Granger currently has only 29 points, and Hibbert is almost out of contention, with the help of Vallejo, Hibbert, who has played the full 30 minutes, only has a measly 6 points, 7 rebounds and 2 blocks. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
In this case, Yuan Shu has almost locked in Task 1 and Task 2 in the elite mission, and only the task of "becoming good friends with Paul George" remains! And now is the best time to complete this task!
"Hey, man, I know you, how are you doing at the Pacers?" Yuan Shu took the initiative to talk to George.
didn't expect his opponent to take the initiative to chat with him, George didn't know what to say for a while, and only nodded at Yuan Shu to show friendship.
The ball was handed over to Yuan Shu again, today's Yuan Shu is simply a big kill, only relying on the mid-range shot has scored 26 points, the remaining 8 points from the basket, 1 point from the free throw, and the 3-point shot that performed well in the last game did not shoot once, which made others feel incredible.
Even in the face of Yuan Shu's overtures, George did not have the slightest slackness in defense, and through his observation off the field, he found that Yuan Shu seemed to only shoot and never broke through once, which guided his defense!
However, when Yuan Shu suddenly jumped up from in front of him, George realized that his thinking was a little simple.
The whole world knows my next step is a jumper, but so what!
Yuan Shu faced George's defense and hit a pull-up jumper again! Counting this hit, Yuan Shu's mid-range shooting in this game is already 14 of 17 shots, which is super superb!
Seeing that Yuan Shu gradually became the protagonist of the game, Granger, who could still compete with Yuan Shu in attack at the beginning, did not give up. In the last game against the Spurs' defense, he could score 44 points, why would he lose to an unknown (Yuan Shu) in this game!
However, what Granger ignored is that no matter how strong a star is in scoring ability, the ability to shoot is also limited by the feeling of the hand, the last game against the Spurs, Granger is when the hand is hot, but this game is compared with Yuan Shuxiang, whose shooting ability is stable at 82 attribute values, in the case of not as good as the previous game, the stability will definitely be much inferior to the opponent!
Granger used the pick-and-roll to break through Jamison's defense, and there was another opportunity for a pull-up jumper, but after Granger made a confident shot, the ball bounced off the back edge of the basket again! This is Granger's fourth consecutive missed shot!
"Thank you, you're so generous!" This time, the rebound was held in Jamison's arms!
At this time, George's ears sounded Yuan Shu's voice again: "Tut-tut, I didn't pass the ball to you four times in a row, you feel very good in this game!" ”
What Yuan Shu said is the truth, if it weren't for the fact that the bench lineup led by George did not fall behind in the competition of the second team, and even had an advantage at the end of the third quarter, I am afraid that the Pacers would have been completely pulled away by the Cavaliers!
After the Cavaliers scored again with a driving layup by Jamison, the Pacers finally passed the ball to George.
But at this moment, Granger had already run out of the open space and reached out to George for the ball, and George was visibly hesitant.
"Damn, if it's me, there's no need to hesitate at all, as long as you hit, no one will say anything about you! Unless you don't have confidence in yourself! Yuan Shu shouted in front of George.
"Not confident in yourself? How is it possible, my idol is Kobe Bryant, if I want to, I will definitely be able to do it! George really fell for Yuan Shu's agitation, didn't care about Granger's shouting, and shot directly after stepping down the dribble twice left and right, the ball flew over Yuan Shu's head and hit it steadily!
Yuan Shu didn't have the idea of jumping at all, just watched the basketball go into the net.
It was the Pacers' first athletic goal in their last five offenses! Finally Paul George broke the offensive drought!
"Well done! Paul! Coach Jim O'Brien clapped and yelled at George.
The head coach's applause made George, who was still a little apprehensive in his heart, relax.
"Hey man, you can do it! As long as you believe you can succeed, you will succeed, and I believe you will become a signature player for the Pacers! Yuan Shu actually encouraged his opponent.
George was silent.
In the second half of the fourth quarter, George, who was replaced by the coach, became the main offensive point for the Pacers, and he replaced Granger and became the target of Yuan Shu on the court.
In the face of Yuan Shu's stable shooting rate, the immature George still couldn't gain the upper hand, but after getting the treatment of the offensive core, George also broke out with a scoring ability that was not inferior to Granger, not only with mid-range shots, but also with breakthroughs and baskets, but Yuan Shu was constantly encouraging George, who was more and more confident in his plays!
"Who the hell is this guy?" George was curious about this Asian player who constantly inspired him, and at the same time, there was a faint sense of gratitude in his heart!
In one offense, George, who had already played blood, even signaled to Granger, who came to ask for the ball, to dodge, and then burst directly into the basket, using his explosive physical fitness to contribute a wonderful one-handed slam dunk!
At this moment, Pacers fans even forgot that the team's boss was Danny Granger and were completely attracted by the rookie in front of him wearing the number 24 jersey!
Although George scored 10 points in the last less than 6 minutes, including mid-range shots, breakthroughs, rebounds, and dunks, and played his own moments, the Pacers were still powerless to turn the tables under Yuan Shu's unstoppable mid-range shots!
At the end of the game, Yuan Shu astonished 41 points, 12 rebounds and 4 blocks, 20 of 24 shots in the game, all two-point shots, 1 free throw and 1 free throw, and his super shooting ability made the opponent not even have a chance to foul, and directly increased his highest score in a single game from 15 points to 41 points!
The other Cavaliers, Vallejo had 12 points and 12 rebounds, Jamison 18 and Mo Williams 13 points and six assists.
For the Pacers, Danny Granger didn't shoot 10-of-31 from the field and 9-of-10 from the free-throw line to score 29 points, including five consecutive misses from the midway point of the fourth quarter. Paul George relied on an ultra-efficient 9-of-13 shooting to score 18 points, and Hibbert had eight points, eight rebounds and two blocks.
The Cavaliers also beat their opponents 99-87 to win again!
After the game. When George asked for Yuan's name, George thanked Yuan for encouraging him on the court and asked if he could be friends.
"No problem!" Yuan Shu, who finally waited for George's words, immediately agreed to the other party.
With a "drop" sound, the system space prompts that all elite tasks have been completed!
