Basketball Legends: Strikers Are King

Pierce took the lead and dribbled toward the Pacers half court, but his speed could not keep up with George and Granger, and he was gradually caught up by the two.

"Tsk."

Looking at George in front of him, Pierce gritted his teeth and took three steps for a layup, ready to take action.

But George was well prepared and jumped up to give his opponent a big risk!

"Handsome!"

George's defense sparked a round of applause from Pacers fans and bench players on the sidelines.

Granger got the basketball and immediately turned around for a fast break.

"This way!"

Taking advantage of the opponent's fast break, there was a gap under the basket, and Hibbert immediately reached for the ball.

Granger broke through and scored, assisting Hibbert at the basket for a dunk.

"2-2."

George made another great contribution. When Pietrus got the ball, he stepped forward and fought for it, causing the opponent to make a mistake.

"Awesome."

Stephenson only felt that his upper and lower eyelids were like a couple in a long-distance relationship, and they just wanted to have close contact. He fought back his sleepiness and blinked.

"Paul's energy is really unparalleled."

Collison took advantage of West's pick-and-roll and went straight to the basket.

Garnett was in the high post, but Pierce couldn't trust Bass inside, so he immediately came from the bottom corner to cover.

Collison saw that his opponent wanted to test his passing skills, so he pretended to break through and passed to Granger in the corner.

"Chance!"

Recalling what the coach said about taking decisive action, Granger immediately used his legs to force his body, jumped up high, and threw the basketball in his hand from the highest point in the air.

"Whoosh!"

Basketball hollow hit.

"Handsome!"

"5-2."

The precise three-pointer made the substitute players on the sidelines wave the towels in their hands vigorously and cheer for Granger in conjunction with the cheers of the audience.

After confirming that Pietrus was just a silver spearhead, George immediately took care of Pierce. When his opponent broke through, he came up to double-team and successfully allowed Pierce to hit a layup.

Collison caused a foul on Bradley, went to the free throw line, and made two free throws, opening the point difference to 5 points.

Although Pietrus caught the ball and hit a step-back jumper, Buss, Garnett and Bradley then made consecutive jump shots, which really made the Celtics fans on the sidelines sweat.

Fortunately, Hibbert and George made mistakes one after another, so the point difference did not widen.

Garnett broke through from the high post and passed the ball to Pietrus in the corner. Pietrus stepped on the line and hit a two-point jumper.

"7-6."

Celtics head coach Rivers nodded calmly on the sidelines and was satisfied with the team's performance.

"Give me!"

Granger saw that Pierce's offensive ambitions were very strong and his teammates were in poor condition, so he knew it was his turn to take action.

He faced Pierce's defense, feinted away, then changed direction to break through and came inside to score a layup.

"9-6."

Bass got the ball inside and was about to turn around to attack when Hibbert quickly reached out behind him and poked the ball out.

Collison didn't expect an unexpected surprise. He got the basketball and was about to break quickly. Pietrus next to him quickly reached out and fouled, ruining his intention.

Five minutes had passed in the first quarter. Rivers requested a substitution and took Garnett off to rest.

Collison caught the ball in the backcourt and just passed half court, but Bradley in front of him stretched out his hand to steal, quickly came to the frontcourt, and scored a layup.

"9-8."

George's missed jump shot gave his opponent a chance. Fortunately, he made up for it on the defensive end and continuously defended against Pietrus' attacks.

"Tsk."

Seeing Granger finally grab the rebound and turn around to advance, Brian Shaw on the sidelines sucked his teeth.

"There is still a lack of stable scoring methods."

Obviously the Celtics only had Pierce and Garnett to rely on, and Garnett had already been substituted. However, the Pacers did not take advantage of this opportunity to score consecutively, but fell into a scoring drought for nearly a minute.

Sure enough, West scored a jumper, and Pierce hit a three-pointer to close the gap.

"Apply for substitution."

Vogel motioned to the technical table and replaced George and Hibbert with Hill and Hansbrough.

Vogel took a deep look at the two people at the end and said nothing.

On weekdays, a few of them like to go to nightclubs and engage in some low-life activities. Vogel is not unaware of it. He believes that President Bird has also heard about it.

But as long as it doesn't affect the team's performance, Vogel can let them go and turn a blind eye.

At present, several people are in poor condition, and Vogel is prepared to punish them with minor punishments and severe punishments.

Buss and power forward Wilcox, who came off the bench, scored consecutive goals to help the Celtics overtake the score.

Collison and Granger hit consecutive hits to prevent the score from widening.

"15-17."

In the last two minutes of the first quarter, the two sides made tacit understandings of substitutions, taking out all the starters to rest, leaving only substitutes on the court.

"17-19."

After Qi Tian high-fived the slightly sweating Granger, he walked onto the court in his place.

"Pick and roll!"

Hill found Hansbrough inside again.

Now the Celtics' insiders can be said to be the younger brothers. It was when Hansbrough was playing, Hill broke through and passed the ball to Hansbrough in the high position.

Wilcox immediately greeted him. The two of them were the same height and there was not much difference in body shape. Wilcox was a little more experienced.

Seeing his opponent turn around, Wilcox relied on his experience and immediately jumped to interfere.

"clang!"

Hansbrough's jumper hit the ball, but Wilcox turned around and collected the basketball.

E'Twaun Moore attacked with the ball. Hill immediately went up to fight for it. Moore stumbled a few times and quickly dribbled to maintain balance.

"Dudu!"

The referee next to him immediately blew the whistle.

"Second dribble."

Moore made a low-level mistake and gave the ball away.

Looking at his slightly stunned opponent, Qi Tian's mind suddenly changed and he remembered this old man's name.

E'Twaun Moore? Isn't this the poor guy who is 191 centimeters tall, but when he arrived at the Pelicans, he was pushed to the small forward position because Solomon Hill was paid to recuperate from his injury, and was beaten by all forwards?

When Qi Tian mentioned Solomon Hill, he thought of garbage contracts. When he mentioned garbage contracts, he thought of the dreamy summer of 2016.

As long as a free agent plays like a human being in the 2015-16 season, he will not be short of a contract. As long as he plays a little better, signing a contract with an annual salary of tens of millions will not be a problem.

Why do you suddenly feel motivated?

When Qi Tian thought about the various big contracts in four years' time, he immediately became motivated.

Unfortunately, the Pacers did not have much momentum. Wilcox and Moore scored consecutively, rewriting the point difference to 17-23 before the end of the first quarter.

Vogel could sense the lack of motivation among the team members today, and took advantage of the break to speak to everyone immediately:

"Where's your defense?"

"Why is it so soft like noodles?"

“Don’t you know how to position yourself defensively inside?”

"Can't the outside line come in to help defend teammates?"

After a good meal, Vogel didn't let the substitutes come on until the beginning of the second quarter.
