Basketball Legends: Strikers Are King

"Give them some color."

When George came on stage, he high-fived Qi Tianxier and others and whispered.

"Just do your best."

Hill looked at George, who was obviously imitating Granger, and replied helplessly.

If the point difference could be recovered just through words, then the basketball game would indeed be quite simple.

He turned to look at Rivers standing on the Celtics bench, and added the following words in his mind.

Unless you're Rivers.

Daniels made a pick-and-roll jumper.

"Whoosh!"

Basketball hollow hit.

"19-29."

The score difference reached 10 points again. George was a little anxious and stood up high and asked Hill for the ball.

"Give me."

Hill passed the ball and positioned it in the bottom corner to create distance for his teammates.

Paplovic was inferior in height and size, but he still stood firm and blocked George.

George failed to get rid of his opponent when he broke through, so he could only make a sudden jump shot.

"clang!"

He took a shot and the basketball was turned around and collected by Paplovic.

"Paul's offensive skills are still too immature."

Brian Shaw on the sidelines was always recording the problems exposed in the game and preparing to give him special training later.

Fortunately, although George's offense was not stable enough, he was trustworthy on the defensive end. When Daniels broke through, George suddenly appeared and stole the basketball from his opponent.

"seven!"

When George saw that Qi Tian had turned around and broke through, he immediately swung over and handed it to Qi Tian.

"Oops!"

Daniels and E'Twaun Moore on the outside quickly returned to defense.

Qi Tian quickly judged his and Daniels' body shapes and made a judgment:

"The advantage is mine!"

Qi Tian decisively increased his speed and hit Daniels with a layup.

"Dangdang, swish!"

The basketball bounced twice and fell in.

To the delight of Pacers fans, the referee blew the whistle.

"Dudu!"

The referee pointed at Daniels and signaled,

"Shooting foul, one extra penalty."

2+1!

Qi Tian went to the free throw line and made the extra free throw steadily.

"22-29."

"ohhh!"

Seeing that the Pacers had recovered the point difference, the fans on the sidelines immediately gave Qi Tian enthusiastic applause.

"Apocalypse's performance is really becoming more and more stable. In just a few games, he has grown from a rookie to a stable rotation player."

A fan with a yellow mohawk said in surprise,

"I'm going to buy a No. 7 jersey when I go home tonight. It's still cheap now, but maybe the price will go up in the future?!"

"This is still the 59th pick in the second round. We really found a treasure."

His companion also said in agreement,

"With Tianqi as a substitute, I don't have to worry about scoring as a substitute!"

When the Celtics attacked, Qi Tian closely followed E'Twaun Moore and jumped to interfere when the opponent took action, successfully preventing the attack.

"clang!"

West, who had just come on the court, picked off the rebound and turned around and handed it to the running Hill.

"Quick attack!"

Taking advantage of the fact that the opponent's inside speed couldn't keep up and he had an advantage on the outside, Hill quickly broke through to the frontcourt and passed a long pass to George in front.

George feinted a shot, tricked Paplovic, turned around and scored a layup.

"24-29."

Bass, who had just come on, missed a single inside shot by Amandasson, and Qi Tian collected the rebound.

Fortunately, when he turned around, Hansbrough's jump shot also missed, and the basketball flew out of the baseline.

Coach Rivers on the sidelines looked at the game time, requested a substitution, and replaced the main players such as Pierce and Bradley.

Vogel also responded quickly. Although he hesitated a little, he still replaced Granger and Hibbert.

"Why did Qi go down? Didn't you just grab a rebound?"

Seeing Qi Tian's end, Huang Mao immediately exploded.

"Isn't this coach a random change?"

"Pierce is already in, so you don't plan on not getting Danny, right?"

His companions immediately looked at him with contempt.

"That's not true,"

Huang Mao thought for a while, Qi Tian couldn't stand up to George now, so he could only explain,

"I'm not thinking about letting Qi Qi grow up for a while."

"This is only the first half. There is plenty of time in the second half for Tianqi to fight."

"That, that's okay."

Seeing Qi Tian's end, Brian Shaw encouraged Qi Tian who was sitting next to him and said:

"Well played."

In less than 6 minutes of playing time, Qi Tian has already scored 5 points and 1 rebound on 2 of 3 shots. This has already made the assistant coach very happy.

"But we are still lagging behind."

Qi Tian said somewhat depressedly.

"This is not your problem."

Brian Xiao suddenly felt that his words seemed to mean something, and quickly added,

"No team can guarantee that it will lead in the first half. There will always be one team that falls behind."

"But the atmosphere in the team was a bit sluggish. Although I scored, I couldn't cheer up."

Qi Tian's words were somewhat beyond Brian Shaw's expectations.

Focusing on the team level, Qi Tian seems to have the potential to become a team leader.

He took a deep look at Qi Tian, ​​who was wiping away sweat and replenishing water, and whispered:

"You really want to know what to do?"

Qi Tian turned to look at the chief assistant coach, nodded and said:

"Of course."

"That's good."

Brian Xiao also nodded, turned to look at the field, and after a while he said to Qi Tian,

"Because you are not contagious."

"What?"

This answer was a bit too metaphysical, and even Qi Tian was confused.

Seeing Granger fouling his opponent and walking to the free throw line, Brian Shaw pointed to Qi Tianda:

"Look, what is Danny doing?"

Qi Tian looked at Granger who was standing at the free throw line. Granger had already made two free throws to help the team cling to the score.

Qi Tian had a flash of inspiration and replied with some uncertainty:

"High-five every teammate?"

"High fives are just a formality,"

Brian Shaw gave the answer,

"Danny is driving his teammates through his performance, not only on offense and defense, but also through these small actions and eyes, which can cheer up his teammates."

He looked at Qi Tian and added:

"This is leadership quality. Danny can unite everyone together, so that the Pacers are a whole and can exert their greatest strength."

"And you haven't done it yet..."

Qi Tian nodded clearly and turned around to see Pierce making similar moves. He knew that he still had a lot to learn, not only offense and defense on the court, but also driving his teammates.

Seeing Qi Tian's face looking a little heavy, Brian Xiao quickly changed the topic and explained:

"Danny is a good player. You can learn a lot from him. You should be lucky to have Danny in the team and have him as a role model. You can avoid many detours."

He suddenly remembered something and quickly added,

"But we should also be careful not to learn some of his bad habits."

Because Granger's skills were finalized too early, he was more willing to use the offensive techniques he was accustomed to when attacking, regardless of the fact that there were many inefficient and impractical techniques.

This made Brian Shaw very alert, and he didn't want George and Qitian to make the same mistake again.
