Basketball Legends: Strikers Are King

Richardson broke through the pick-and-roll and passed back to Turkoglu in the high post. Turkoglu faced Qitian's defense and forced a layup.

"Dudu!"

The referee blew the whistle, indicating that Qi Tian committed a shooting foul, and Turkoglu stepped to the free throw line.

Vogel frowned on the sidelines. Qi Tian was still far behind George in terms of defensive ability. He wondered if his rash change of formation would be counterproductive?

"clang!"

"Whoosh!"

Turkoglu made one of two free throws.

"54-52."

"Give me!"

The starting center came off the field, and Granger reached out for the ball without hesitation, preparing to single out Ryan Anderson.

With Howard on the inside, Anderson still defends against shots rather than breakthroughs.

"Huh, are you looking down on me too much?"

Granger smiled contemptuously.

Do you really think that with Howard guarding the basket, he can't score?

He made a move to break through, suddenly pulled back to shake his opponent away, and made an emergency jump shot.

"Whoosh!"

Ryan Anderson's footsteps obviously couldn't keep up with Granger's movements, and he could only watch in despair as the basketball passed through his fingertips and flew towards the basket.

"56-52."

The opponent's inside line changed from the 218-centimeter Hibbert to the 208-centimeter Amandasson. Howard naturally went crazy. He immediately reached for the ball after getting into position, and then turned around and shot for a layup.

Amandasen jumped high, but could only reach Howard's arm.

"Dudu!"

At the same time as the basketball flew out, the referee blew the whistle to indicate a defensive foul by Amandasen.

"Two free throws!"

"It doesn't matter, sending him to the free throw line is also a way."

Granger came over to comfort his teammates, then turned and stood at the free throw line.

Brian Shaw, who was watching the game, was a little worried.

Under normal rotation, the number of fouls committed by Amandasson has reached 3 times. Hibbert is limited by foul trouble. The number of fouls committed by Amandasson will only skyrocket. If he commits six fouls and leaves the field...

Vogel on the sidelines had the same idea, but he turned his head and looked at the big men sitting on the bench:

Foster is already 34 years old, Fesenko is not as good as Foster.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through, causing Vogel to fall into silence:

Do you want to play a smaller lineup?

He smiled bitterly and gave up.

In the past, using a small lineup worked wonders, and that was because the Kings' inside line wasn't very strong. But if you dare to use a small lineup when facing Howard, that's really asking for death.

People don't have to worry about you using your defender to attack him.

What made the fans who came to the away game to support the Pacers very excited was that Howard missed two consecutive free throws.

"clang!"

Qi Tian rushed in, got the basketball, turned around and prepared to attack.

"Quick attack!"

Granger and Collison had already taken the lead and rushed out. Qi Tian found the right opportunity to avoid Richardson's steal and directly passed the ball out.

"Dudu!"

Turkoglu made a timely foul and did not allow the Pacers to enter a fast break.

"It's okay, take your time!"

Granger comforted his teammates, caught the ball, turned around and passed it back to West in the high post.

West caught the ball and hit a jumper, widening the point difference again.

"58-52."

"Give me!"

The point difference was actually widened by the opponent. Howard was a little impatient and reached for the ball while standing under the basket.

But Qi Tian had already predicted Richardson's idea of ​​passing the ball to the inside, and quickly completed the steal.

"Defend!"

Duhon, Richardson and Anderson immediately turned around and quickly returned to defense.

Collison caught the ball and attacked, broke through the basket and suddenly turned around and handed it to Qi Tian on the outside.

"cast!"

Granger pointed to the basket and signaled his little brother to take action quickly.

Qi Tian ignored Richardson who rushed to defend and took a long three-pointer from outside the three-point line.

"clang!"

The basketball jumped out of the hoop.

"rebound!"

Richardson turned around and shouted to his teammates.

But Qi Tian rushed to the basket early and grabbed the offensive rebound.

He turned around and passed the ball to the open Granger.

Duhon and Anderson were both under the basket, and Richardson rushed over.

Granger lowered his head to confirm that his feet were outside the three-point line and took a jump shot.

"no!!"

Magic fans screamed, they didn't want their opponents to widen the point difference again.

It was as if I could hear the fans wailing.

"clang!"

The Pacers' three-point attempt hit the mark again.

Duhong got the rebound and turned to attack.

"I still haven't practiced enough."

Qi Tian felt regretful that he and Granger had missed the opportunity. He followed Richardson closely and thought to himself.

If after 2015, anyone misses an open three-pointer, they will be ridiculed.

Turkoglu was not quick on his feet, so the Pacers took two quick shots and he just reached the midfield line.

When the Magic attacked, he immediately turned around and went to the basket in the Pacers' half, reaching for the ball.

After receiving the pass, he planned to look for Howard or attack on his own.

But Amandasen spotted the basketball in his hand, quickly cut the ball and regained the ball!

"pretty!"

On the sidelines of the Pacers bench, the players and assistant coaches immediately cheered.

Hibbert did not play, so they had to rely on Armanderson. It was indeed a fantasy to guard Howard, but Armanderson occasionally performed brilliantly, which was a consolation to them.

Collison ran over to catch the ball, turned around and prepared to attack.

But joy brings sorrow. When Turkoglu lost the ball, he wanted to regain the court by himself. He ran directly from behind Collison and stole the basketball!

"Hey!"

Pacers fans hammered their hands in frustration.

"above!"

Duhon received the pass and was about to organize an attack when he saw Howard raise his right hand and point to the sky.

He understood the idea and threw the basketball high. Howard jumped up suddenly, took off the basketball and dunked it with his arms to score!

"58-54."

The team pulled one back, and the Magic fans at home immediately waved their signboards under the leadership of the on-site DJ to cheer for the home team.

Seeing the Pacers organizing their offense, the audience cheered and cheered for the Magic:

"Defend!"

"Defend!"

"Defend!"

"Steady!"

Granger came to the high post, took the basketball, and gestured to his teammates, asking them to run tactics.

If you fail to open up the score in one wave, you have to accept the test of a tug-of-war. Now is the critical moment for both sides. Once there is one or several waves of attacks, the opponent is likely to take this opportunity to make a wave of flow.

So Granger chose the style of play he was most confident in - one-on-one.

Anderson is limited by his physical fitness and can only rely on positivity to make up for his shortcomings.

But enthusiasm has little effect in the face of hardware gaps.

Granger easily changed direction and shook off his opponent, and before Howard stepped forward to defend, he shot a jump shot.

"clang!"

Granger's move is striking!

Richardson rushed to the basket, grabbed the rebound, and turned around to hand it to his teammates.
