Basketball Legends: Strikers Are King

The score changed from leading to falling behind, but Vogel didn't pay much attention.

"We just need to continue the defense we played in the first quarter. They are not our opponents."

When the substitutes came on, Vogel cheered them up and then let them come on.

Brian Shaw agrees.

The Timberwolves were able to complete the lead in the first quarter, mainly relying on Beasley's three-pointers and consecutive breakthroughs that caused fouls, and he scored 7 points with consecutive shots and penalties.

The Timberwolves' entire team's shooting percentage is not high. Only Love has hit more than 2 goals. As long as the Pacers continue their defensive strategy and pay attention to unnecessary actions on defense, it will not be difficult to take the lead.

However, Timberwolves fans are very excited. Before this game, the Timberwolves only had a record of 10 wins and 11 losses. Their lack of a winning rate of more than half made them only ranked ninth in the Western Conference.

"If we win this game, the team's winning rate will reach 50%. If we win the lousy Nets, then we can compete with the Rockets. Maybe the teams can rely on each other's records to swim upstream.

, overtaking the Rockets, directly sixth in the Western Conference!"

Fans wearing No. 21 Garnett jersey indulge their imagination,

"The day when Sunida will rise is today!"

The companion wearing the No. 8 jersey immediately echoed:

"Yes, yes, since I traded Beasley last year, I knew he was a talent. Hum, he averaged 19.2 points per game, which is not inferior to James at all. I wonder if Riley gave up to clear space for James.

Regret after killing Beasley?”

"Just wait, Beasley will definitely become the new Wolf King and revive Minsunida!"

His compliments drew rebuttal from nearby Timberwolves fans:

"The new Wolf King? Beasley? Are you talking nonsense here?"

"you!"

No. 8 jersey glared at him, but the other party glared back without showing any signs of weakness:

"What, do you have any opinions?"

When No. 8 saw that the opponent was wearing No. 42, he immediately understood and mocked:

"Who am I talking about? It turns out to be a fan of Big White Bear. Why, just by brushing up the data, do you want to be the master?"

"Oh."

42 Jersey smiled disdainfully and ended the game softly,

"Brushing data? You grabbed 13 rebounds? How come you can't score 26 points if you're so good at it? You're still bragging about the entire score of less than 20 points!"

"Humph, I'm not as familiar with you."

No. 8 Jersey snorted and turned around to continue watching the game.

In the second quarter of the game, both sides sent out a lineup mainly composed of substitutes. The Pacers were Price, Qi Tian, ​​George, Hansbrough and Amandelson;

The Timberwolves have a lineup of Ellington, Barea, Beasley, Derrick Williams and Pekovic.

The Pacers had one starter in George, but the Timberwolves also sent Beasley, who performed well in the first quarter, and the two sides were in a tit-for-tat confrontation.

It's just that George proved that his defense is indeed very strong. When Beasley was attacking with the ball, he made a decisive move and completed the steal.

"Walk!"

Price and Qi Tian on the outside immediately turned around and ran towards the frontcourt. Qi Tian received the ball and immediately dribbled the ball for a fast break.

Ellington, Barea and others immediately returned to the defense.

Qi Tian turned his head and saw George coming behind him. He immediately forced a breakthrough to attract the defense, then turned around and threw it to George who was following up.

Facing Barea's defense, George made a three-step layup, shook off his opponent, and made an easy hit.

"22-25."

Amandelson got stuck inside, causing Pekovic to take a shot, but he then responded with a shot, and Pekovic forced a shot for the second time.

"Dudu!"

The referee blew the whistle, indicating that Amandelson committed a shooting foul, sending Pekovic to the free throw line.

Pekovic made one of two free throws, opening the point difference to 4 points.

Qi Tian took the basketball and called a pick-and-roll.

Hansbrough quietly stepped forward to block Barea, but Derrick Williams was quick and quickly chose to switch defense.

"Chance!"

Qi Tian quickly broke through and passed back to Hansbrough in the high position.

But Barea stood firmly in front of his opponent and did not give Hansbrough a chance to break through.

"outside!"

Qi Tian quickly signaled to Hansbrough and asked him to pass to George on the outside. George confidently shot a three-point jumper.

"Whoosh!"

Basketball hollow hit.

"25-26."

"pretty!"

"handsome!"

A simple minute and a half later, George scored 5 points in a row, helping the Pacers close to the score. Everyone on the bench immediately waved towels to cheer for their teammates.

George is an emotional player. When he heard the cheers of his teammates and fans, he immediately felt a little carried away. Then he confidently hit a three-pointer, and Qi Tian and Hansbrough's jump shots also ended in a hit.

The most outrageous thing is that after the foul, Amandelson missed two free throws, giving his opponent a chance.

Fortunately, the Pacers were very strong on the defensive end. They continuously blocked Beasley and Barea's attacks and did not allow their opponents to score easily.

The one-and-a-half-minute blacksmithing feast finally ended when Derrick Williams drove to the basket and caused a layup that caused a foul on Amandasson.

"Dangdang, swish!"

The basketball bounced twice and still fell into the basket.

"25-28."

2+1!

The Timberwolves fans on the sidelines cheered, applauding the performance of another high-ranking rookie.

"What is potential? This is called potential!"

No. 8 jersey looked to the other side provocatively,

"Finding opportunities to score by running is much better than someone who relies on his tonnage to play under the basket!"

"What the hell?!"

Upon hearing his provocation, the No. 42 jersey immediately exploded.

"Who are you talking about?"

No. 8 jersey but the old god is here:

"Whoever is in a hurry is the one to blame!"

Vogel didn't pay attention to the noise among the fans. Seeing that Amandasson was being targeted, he decisively replaced West.

Although West is not as tall or as heavy as his opponent, he is definitely better than Amandelson due to his experience.

With the cheers of the fans in the audience, Derek walked to the free throw line, dribbled several times in succession, and threw the basketball in his hand.

"clang!"

The basketball jumped out of the hoop. Westerka found his position, walked into the basket, got the basketball, and handed it to Price.

Qi Tian caught the ball from a high position, looked at his teammates, and then prepared to attack.

George took advantage of Beasley's attention on Qi Tian and immediately broke through from behind his opponent and into the basket.

He believed that Qi Tian would definitely realize that he was in an empty position.

Sure enough, Qi Tian threw the basketball in his hand high and passed it to George who was cutting through the air.

"What?"

Beasley finally reacted, but could only watch as George scored a layup.

But Derrick's confidence had been built up, and he directly changed the direction of the ball and shook off Hansbrough, and made another emergency jumper.

"27-30."

The Timberwolves once again gained a 3-point advantage.

Qi Tian caught the ball and waved, calling for a pick-and-roll.

Hansbrough came up to block Barea, and Derrick Williams was ready to defend and quickly came to Qi Tian.

"Chance!"

Seeing his opponent standing behind, Qi Tian decisively collected the ball in his hand and threw the basketball.

"Whoosh!"

"30-30."

The score is even!
