Basketball Legends: Strikers Are King

Chapter 121

humiliation!

Unparalleled humiliation!

This is how Pierce feels now.

Just when you were talking trash, a person who had no honor and never considered him an opponent took advantage of your mistake to counterattack and equalize the score!

To Pierce, the cheers from the Pacers fans were like thousands of hands hitting him in the face one after another.

Even when he lost to his old rival Lakers in the 2010 Finals, he never felt this level of humiliation.

"You succeeded in irritating me!"

Pierce suppressed his anger and said slowly,

"Today, I will let you know what the gap in strength is."

Granger chuckled and countered:

"I thought you already knew that, but it doesn't matter,"

He turned to look at Pierce, whose face was ashen.

"You can blame the bad weather today for not performing your best."

There is no point in talking. Pierce immediately came to the top of the key to ask for the ball. Granger followed closely and defended.

Seeing that Pierce was about to start a singles game again, Garnett was a little worried that he would get in front of him, so he walked over and blocked Granger.

Pierce immediately broke through, but Granger still followed closely. Pierce could only pass back to Garnett in the high position.

At the moment when Granger was distracted, Pierce quickly bypassed Garnett, received the pass, and came to the three-point line.

"Oops!"

Granger was blocked by Garnett again, and he could only watch Pierce take an open three-pointer.

"Whoosh!"

Pierce's shot wasn't fast, but it wasn't slow either, and the basketball landed accurately in the basket.

"46-49."

Granger also got angry and went directly to the high post to ask for the ball.

Pierce came forward.

Granger dribbled continuously, suddenly broke through to the right, and after physical confrontation with Pierce, he shot for a layup.

"clang!"

The basketball spun around in the basket and fell out again.

Bradley rushed in to grab the rebound and turned around to organize a fast break.

"Defend!"

Pacers fans on the sidelines shouted in support of the home team.

Pierce broke through from the other side, received a pass from Bradley and quickly passed it back to his teammates.

Sure enough, Collison and George were stunned by Bradley's pass, turned around to face Pierce, and ignored Bradley.

Bradley scored an easy layup.

"46-51."

The score difference is back to 5 points.

Brian Shaw immediately turned to look at the head coach.

"Coach, do you want to call a timeout?"

The confrontational atmosphere between Granger and Pierce has long been felt by the coaching team on the sidelines.

But this kind of atmosphere is not uncommon in basketball games. Brian Shaw is just worried that Granger's mentality will explode and he will be beaten by his opponent.

"Wait a little longer."

Vogel chose to believe Granger.

Hibbert, who had just been replaced, caught the ball inside and turned around for a layup.

"Dudu!"

The referee blew the whistle, indicating that Hibbert had just thrown his elbow.

"Offensive foul!"

The Celtics got the ball again.

Pierce saw everyone in the Pacers looking more or less depressed, and became even more disdainful:

"A group of young people are too emotional."

He once again played in the high post and made a pull-up jump shot.

Granger immediately jumped to interfere.

"clang!"

The basketball jumped out of the frame, and Granger was immediately secretly happy, but Pierce quickly passed by him and grabbed the offensive rebound!

"Ah~!"

The Pacers fans on the sidelines sighed with regret when they saw Pierce hit a tip-in from the field.

Granger also felt that he had been playing a little too high in the past two minutes, so he stood in a high position and was ready to look for his teammates.

Collison went around to the bottom corner, then quickly ran back to get rid of Bradley and went straight to the basket.

"Chance!"

Granger immediately hit the ground and passed the ball to Collison, who was cutting through the air.

But Garnett was experienced and when he saw Collison breaking through, he immediately let go of West behind him and raised his hands to interfere with his opponent.

"clang!"

Collison's breakthrough layup hit the mark again, and Pierce rushed in and grabbed the rebound.

The Pacers' defense had been affected by their mood and became disorganized. Pierce broke through and scored, assisting Garnett for a layup.

"46-55."

Vogel looked at the third quarter and saw that only 6 minutes had passed. He hesitated and did not choose to make a substitution.

Although the starter didn't perform well, the substitute couldn't guarantee that he would be able to score points after coming on the field. He decided to trust his players first.

Hibbert caught the ball inside and turned around for a layup.

But Bass firmly blocked the opponent's bottom plate, jumped up to block the shot, and successfully interfered.

"clang!"

I can't remember which iron block appeared again, and Garnett got the basketball under the basket.

"Quick attack!"

While your illness is killing you, Pierce dribbles the ball quickly and prepares for a fast break.

Granger and George quickly retreated to defend.

"This way!"

Pietrus broke through from the other side and reached for the ball.

Pierce had an idea and faked a pass to Pietrus, which distracted Granger. Then he quickly broke through Granger and scored a layup.

"46-57."

The score difference reached double digits, and Vogel could only call a timeout.

Watching the Pacers players walking back to the bench in frustration, Garnett and Pierce looked at each other and smiled. They knew that the Pacers' collapse was just a hair's breadth away. Even if they reacted, the Celtics' scoring momentum had already picked up.

, the opponent's struggles are of no avail.

"Replace Kevin later and rest."

Pierce suggested to head coach Doc Rivers,

"Just keep me on the court and replace me in the last two minutes."

Rivers nodded and agreed with his proposal.

"We already have the lead in our hands, we are the stronger side..."

Filling the team with chicken soup, Rivers nodded with satisfaction and spoke his mantra at the end of the timeout.

"Leitzdog!"

Seeing the Celtics' high-spirited appearance, the fans at the scene knew that the balance of victory had tilted towards the Green Army.

West's offense caused Bass to foul, and he made two free throws to chase the points tenaciously.

"snort!"

Pierce came out from the outside, asked Bradley for the ball, and prepared to attack.
