Basketball Legends: Strikers Are King

Chapter 156 The strength of a first-class striker

Granger's anger was not hidden, it was clearly displayed on his face. Head coach Vogel made a prompt decision and replaced him at the beginning of the fourth quarter.

Most NBA players become famous at a young age, and can show physical fitness far beyond ordinary people in middle and high school. Even in 2005, high school students were disqualified from participating in the NBA. The first round of the draft is mostly a battlefield for freshmen and sophomores.

The top three and four can only rely on their immediate strength as a selling point to push up the rankings.

This also leads to another result, that is, most NBA players can be said to have well-developed limbs and simple minds. This is not a big shortcoming. To put it nicely, it can be called straightforward.

After all, it is a competitive sport, so conflicts on the court can happen very quickly. A big action can trigger several technical fouls. After all, everyone is a veteran golfer. Whether your action is a foul or not, you

Don't you have any idea?

Granger was like this. He felt that Love's foul action was unnecessary, so he went straight to rap, even if he received a technical foul, he didn't care.

Getting a technical foul is not the end. He just wants to regain face for himself on the court.

Vogel had no objection. He was promoted from assistant coach to head coach without Granger's support. If Granger wanted to indulge in the regular season, he would certainly not stop him.

Seeing the Pacers putting up Price, Qi Tian, ​​Granger, Hansbrough and Amandelson in the fourth quarter with a starting lineup with four substitutes, Love smiled disdainfully. He knew that he had 12

minutes to respond.

Yes, the Timberwolves also fielded a starting lineup with four substitutes: Barea, Webster, Beasley, Love and Pekovic.

Timberwolves coach Adelman frowned on the sidelines. Using the starting lineup to bring substitutes to deal with the opponent's substitute lineup was a strategy that had been prepared for a long time. However, when Granger and Love, who already had conflicts, faced off against each other,

This is not a good thing.

"Once the two of them get involved and get whistled off..."

The inferior Timberwolves have no comeback point.

Adelman made the decision and replaced Love when he found the opportunity.

"Huh huh, we really are enemies on the same road."

Granger's eyes immediately lit up when he saw his opponent Love coming on the stage.

Price found Hansbrough in the high post and assisted his teammate to score a jumper.

"78-70."

The Timberwolves still used Beasley to attack with the ball, and Granger stayed close to the defense. When the opponent broke through, he quickly made a move and cut off the opponent's ball.

Price ran over to get the basketball and was about to turn around for a fast break when Barea made a quick move and committed the foul.

Of course, the referee would not let it go. After the whistle, the Pacers were allowed to serve the ball on the sideline, but the fast break opportunity was just gone.

"What a sophisticated person."

Brian Shaw looked at Barea who was silently returning to defense, feeling a little envious.

If a young team wants to grow quickly, it is not enough to just rely on playing games. At this time, having a veteran on the bench reflects the role of experience.

Although Foster is in the Pacers team, Foster has revealed his intention to retire after this season. This year has been very Buddhist.

There is also West, but rather than preaching to young people and solving their doubts, he would rather read alone...

Price made a pull-up jumper after the pick-and-roll.

"clang!"

The basketball bounced out of the frame, but Amandasen jumped up quickly and grabbed the offensive rebound over Love's head. Just as he was about to tip-in, Love quickly interfered.

"Dudu!"

The moment the basketball flew out, the referee blew the whistle to signal that Love had committed a foul.

"Two free throws!"

Adelman quickly requested a substitution and replaced Love with Derrick Williams.

"Whoosh!"

Amandasson made the first free throw.

"clang!"

His second free throw was a hit!

At the critical moment, Hansbrough turned around, picked off the offensive rebound over Pekovic's head, and passed it to the outside.

Granger pretended to dribble the ball out of the three-point line. The moment Beasley relaxed, he decisively turned around and broke through, rushing towards the basket.

"Dudu!"

Webster came to cover Granger and was called for a foul by the referee. Granger got the opportunity to make two free throws.

"Uh-huh."

"Whoosh!"

Made two consecutive free throws.

"81-70."

The score difference reached double digits.

The Pacers fans on the sidelines and teammates on the bench cheered and cheered for Granger.

Barea caused a foul and made one of two free throws to help the Timberwolves chase the point.

But Granger found Amandasen under the basket and assisted his teammates to score, widening the point difference again.

Barea dribbled through, and Amandasson quickly stole the opponent's ball and handed it to his teammate.

"Quick attack!"

Granger and Qi Tian quickly rushed towards the opponent's half. Qi Tian saw that there was no one in front of him and passed the ball to Granger with great force.

Granger jumped up to get the basketball that bounced into the air and dunked it.

"85-71."

When Granger turned around and retreated, he glanced proudly at the Timberwolves bench.

In the first 3 minutes of the fourth quarter, the Pacers played a 7-1 wave, completely widening the point difference.

"Coach, let me go."

Faced with Love's challenge, Adelman ignored their personal grudges and quickly replaced Love.

With a mainstay inside, the Timberwolves' offense became much smoother. Beasley scored a jumper and then stole Granger. Barea caught the ball and made a layup, causing a foul, and made two free throws.

"85-75."

Vogel quickly took advantage of the timeout and replaced Collison and Hibbert.

"This way!"

Collison broke through with the ball and was about to pass it to Hibbert under the basket, but Granger ran out and reached for the ball.

Granger received a pass from Collison and shot a three-point jumper directly towards Beasley.

"Whoosh!"

Basketball hollow hit.

"88-75."

"Isn't it too strong?"

The Pacers fans on the sidelines were stunned.

But Granger's performance did not stop. Barea responded with a jumper and directly beat his opponent in a high post.

"Pick and roll."

Hansbrough quietly blocked Beasley, received the pass from Granger, and passed it back to Granger who was running back.

"Oops!"

Beasley had been stunned by his opponent's operation. Seeing Granger in an open position, he quickly chased after him to cover.

Granger smiled confidently and made another three-point jump shot.

"Whoosh!"

"Dudu!"

The moment the basketball hit the ball, the referee blew the whistle.

3+1!

"It's over!"

Seeing Granger high-fiving and celebrating with his teammates, all the Timberwolves fans present knew in their hearts that today's game would be decided.

As Granger hit the extra free throw, the Pacers became more courageous as they fought, widening the point difference in one fell swoop.

"102-84."

Qi Tian assisted Hansbrough to score, and the point difference came to 18 points.

There was no miracle in the last 3 minutes of the game. Under the watch of the home fans, the Timberwolves finally lost to their opponents 99-109 and won their 12th victory of the season.

In the fourth quarter, Granger made 3 of 6 shots and 2 of 2 three-pointers and scored 12 points. Granger, who scored 36 points in the game, stared at the audience and walked off the field amid the cheers of the fans.

This is the strength of a first-class forward.
