Basketball Legends: Strikers Are King

West waited until Collison advanced with the ball, then immediately blocked Turkoglu behind him and reached for the ball.

"It's my turn!"

With his back against his opponent, West determined Turkoglu's position, deceived his opponent with a feint shot, and suddenly turned around and broke through to the basket.

Howard was stuck behind the basket by Hibbert, and he could only watch helplessly as West dunked to tie the score.

"2-2."

"Give me!"

Howard, who didn't want to make the same mistake again, didn't make any extra moves. After blocking Hibbert, he reached out to his teammates for the ball.

Duhong passed the ball to Howard, and then took Collison to the bottom corner to open up space for Howard.

Hibbert was fully focused, waiting for Howard to attack, but Howard did something fancy and turned around and shot with a hook.

"Dangdang, swish!"

The basketball bounced twice and finally fell in.

When Granger missed the jump shot, Richardson got the rebound and immediately turned to fast break, facing George, he suddenly stopped and took a jump shot.

"Whoosh!"

"2-6."

The Magic fans on the sidelines were excited. The team performed well at the start and took the lead. They immediately waved their banners and portraits to cheer for the team.

"I told you earlier, the Pacers are a pseudo-strong team, and there is a gap between the playoff teams!"

"That's right, look at our boss, he is the number one center in the league, and look at the other side, which small forward is he?"

The sound of ridicule immediately came from outside the stadium.

"Don't be anxious, take your time."

Granger comforted his teammates and dropped to a high position. When Collison came over, he immediately brought him up to help him set a pick-and-roll.

Defending Granger is shooting forward Ryan Anderson, whose defense is not strong enough.

Collison quickly broke through the pick-and-roll and hit Anderson with a pull-up jumper.

"clang!"

The basketball actually jumped out of the frame again.

Richardson rushed in and grabbed the rebound, and Howard immediately turned around and ran towards the Pacers' half.

Duhon ran to the midfield line and received a pass from Richardson, and Howard immediately reached for the ball.

"Oops!"

Granger and George rushed back and saw Howard getting the ball and about to attack.

They immediately surrounded him.

"outside!"

Duhong immediately opened his hand, wanting Howard to pass back.

But Howard's rough dribbling skills made him hesitate between layup and passing to his teammates, and the basketball came out of his hands!

"Dudu!"

The referee blew the whistle.

"Out of bounds!"

He awarded the ball to the Pacers.

"Butter hands!"

Barkley in the studio immediately said a little disappointed, then he looked at O'Neal and asked:

"Shaq, can Dwight like this still lead the team to the playoffs?"

He just wanted to induce O'Neal to say that Howard needed a guard to match him.

O'Neill sneered and said nothing.

But he was also a little disappointed with Howard's performance.

Just like Chamberlain lacks honors and Russell lacks offense, fans believe that no one is perfect and always try to find fatal flaws for players.

But O'Neal scoffed at the idea.

What if he misses the free throw?

Can’t he still score 23.7 points and 10.9 rebounds in his career?

30+15 in the finals are all average data.

Who among all the teams competing for the championship has not piled up insiders to fight against themselves?

Olajuwon is all-around, but rookie O'Neal can suppress Olajuwon in terms of statistics. After reaching his peak, no center can match him in one-on-one situations.

"The center is really withered."

O'Neill sighed secretly and thought helplessly.

West missed another jump shot, but Hibbert jumped up and picked up the rebound and was about to make a tip-in.

Howard next to him quickly took off twice, interfering with his opponent's shot.

"Clang."

The basketball jumped out of the frame and was collected by Anderson.

Turkoglu received the pass and was about to throw it to the frontcourt, but Granger anticipated his pass and decisively shot the basketball.

"Oops!"

When Turkoglu saw the basketball being stolen, he immediately switched from offense to defense and chased after Granger.

Granger faced Anderson's defense and forced a layup.

"clang!"

Strike iron again.

Richardson ran in, picked off the rebound, turned and handed it to Turkoglu.

The Magic do lack good guards, but this does not mean that their offense is stagnant. On the contrary, the Magic's assists are at the forefront of the league.

Damn it, it’s actually Turkoglu, the point forward known as “Turkish LeBron”.

But the Pacers have already made targeted arrangements for Turkoglu's passing.

Although Granger was behind Turkoglu for a breakthrough layup, George was already keeping an eye on Turkoglu.

Seeing Turkoglu pass the ball, George took action again and intercepted the opponent's pass.

"Boss Danny!"

George hit the ground and passed to the open Granger, assisting him for a layup.

"4-6."

The bench on the sidelines and the fans who came to Orlando to support the Pacers immediately shouted loudly to cheer for the players on the court.

Compared to the Magic fans at home, the Pacers' momentum is naturally at a disadvantage.

In order to prevent the Pacers players from being affected by the opponent's home court, away fans tend to shout more frequently.

After all, if they don't shout, the home team players will inevitably have the illusion that they are enemies of the fans, and their performance will also be affected by their mentality.

As expected, the Pacers strengthened their defense against others. Anderson's pass was cut off by Granger again, and Duhon and Richardson on the outside immediately retreated to defend.

"Defend!"

Seeing the Pacers start a fast break, Magic fans immediately shouted loudly to cheer them on.

Collison and George followed Granger, forming a valuable 3-on-2 opportunity in the frontcourt.

Granger knew that Howard was very fast. If he couldn't seize the opportunity and attack, he might very well be hit from behind by Warcraft.

"Can't break through!"

Granger made a prompt decision, dribbled back, and made a pull-up jump shot.

"clang!"

Richardson came from behind and protected the rebound.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Howard immediately changed direction and ran toward the Pacers half court, and the Magic launched a counterattack.

"It's going to be bad!"

Brian Shaw on the sidelines was a little anxious. The Pacers' hasty transition from fast break to defense caused some confusion in the defensive formation.

In the chaos, Turkoglu showed a strong offensive sense and found Richardson in the bottom corner from the crowd.

Richardson pulled up from outside the three-point line and shot.

"Whoosh!"

Accurate basketball shooting.

"4-9."

West's mid-range and short-range jumper hit the mark again, further eroding the confidence of the Pacers fans on the sidelines.

The offense was blocked, but the Pacers did not lose heart. They started defensively and blocked Richardson's consecutive attacks one after another.

Granger finally fired, catching the ball from the outside and hitting Anderson with a jumper.

Collison then stole Duhon and assisted Granger again for a jumper.

"9-9."

The Pacers equalized the score with two consecutive attacks!
