Basketball Legends: Strikers Are King

Hayward's tough dunk skills shocked everyone, but Vogel was keenly aware of Granger's problem.

The game lasted for 6 minutes. Granger only took 2 shots and failed to hit any of them.

The team leader's offensive ambition and low shooting percentage are bigger bad news for the Pacers than Hayward's few dunks.

"Do you want to replace Danny?"

Brian Shaw also saw that Granger was not in the right state, and he immediately suggested,

"Have a rest and come back later?"

Vogel shook his head and rejected the offer of the chief assistant coach.

Instead of letting Granger rest off the court and wait for his touch to recover, it is better to let him stay on the court to find his touch.

As for being behind in the game? Being behind in the first quarter is much better than being behind in the last quarter.

Seeing that the head coach had so much trust in Granger, Brian Shaw stopped persuading him.

This is the first time for everyone to work together, so just stay within the rules. Crossing the line is the last thing a coach will accept from a chief assistant coach.

The Jazz increased their defensive intensity and couldn't find any opportunities inside, so they passed the ball to Qi Tian on the outside.

Qi Tian was about to take action, but Hayward quickly came over to defend and stood in front of Qi Tian.

Qi Tian hesitated and chose to dribble to break through. He also encountered the same dilemma as Granger, that is, he continued to dribble and failed to get rid of Hayward!

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

Of course Hayward could see the surprise in the other person's eyes, but it was precisely because he could see the surprise that he became even more angry.

"Your contempt for white people will only affect you!"

Qi Tian reluctantly took the shot, but Hayward quickly jumped to interfere.

"clang!"

The basketball jumped out of the hoop.

Hayward turned around, collected the rebound, and passed it to the frontcourt to Jefferson.

Jefferson took a jump shot against Hibbert, but it also ended in a blackout.

Hibbert turned around and grabbed the rebound and handed it to Collison.

"Quick attack!"

The Pacers have outstanding physical strength on the outside and are not afraid to play fast with their opponents. When they saw Collison holding the ball, Qi Tian and Granger immediately ran out.

But Hayward and Lagabell reacted very quickly and quickly followed, while Harris followed Collison to interfere.

"Give me!"

Granger came to the outside, stretched out his hand to pass the basketball, and quickly broke through to the basket.

But Hayward is still following him, not giving his opponent a chance.

"Tsk."

Granger clicked his tongue. This kind of defense reminded him of his younger brother George on the same team. The Hayward in front of him was simply a replica of George except for the physical confrontation.

"later!"

Granger, who was struggling, heard the sound and immediately knew his teammates' plan. He hit the ground and passed it to Qi Tian, ​​who was cutting through the air.

"I can't let you dunk!"

Hayward immediately let go of Granger and came towards Qi Tian.

Qi Tian caught the ball and sent it out first.

"Is it a return message?"

The momentary fake move made Hayward hesitate. Qi Tian then collected the ball and passed Hayward for a three-step layup, scoring easily.

"12-10."

Qi Tian's scoring seemed to have kicked off. Jefferson and Harris hit consecutive difficult shots, while West also supported the high position, using his scoring to intimidate the defense and continuously assisting Hibbert to score at the basket.

"16-14."

Al Jefferson passed the ball from the baseline, but Collison quickly approached Harris, trying to steal the opponent.

Harris was forced to move by his opponent and could only pass back to Jefferson, but Jefferson actually threw the basketball out of bounds with his buttery hands!

"yes!"

The Jazz fans on the sidelines immediately burst into joy.

Vogel on the sidelines looked at the half-time of the game and replaced West with Hansbrough.

Granger reached the high post and reached for the ball for a single.

"I don't believe it!"

Granger couldn't tolerate his failure to score in the first quarter, so he directly asked his teammates to pull away and continued to challenge Hayward.

This time he successfully changed direction, shook Hayward away, and broke through towards the basket.

Hibbert stuck Jefferson tightly, preventing him from easily going up to defend Granger.

Facing the empty basket, Granger's smile slowly appeared on his face.

"You're overthinking it!"

At this moment, Hayward took a few steps, caught up from behind, and slapped Granger's layup onto the backboard.

"I am!"

Seeing Hayward, who jumped several centimeters higher than Granger, Qi Tian was amazed for a moment, and then he remembered to go over and grab the rebound.

But Hayward quickly took off twice, protected the defensive rebound, and turned around to prepare for the attack.

Granger felt a burning sensation on his face. What defense could be more embarrassing than blocking a shot?

He quickly followed Hayward, planning to retaliate.

But Hayward didn't give him this chance. Seeing that his teammate was already in position, he turned and passed to Millsap under the basket.

Facing the immature Hansbrough, Millsap hit his opponent with his back, feinted away his opponent continuously, and scored with a basket.

"18-14."

Millsap's set of offensive methods is so smooth that it can be called a textbook for inside offense, so much so that the Pacers fans on the sidelines also applauded.

West looked at the high-spirited Millsap off the court and sighed.

He is 32 years old this year, which is exactly 5 years older than Millsap. Although the 5-year difference is not very big, according to statistics, the average career of an NBA player is only about 5 years. It can be said that 5 years is a generation difference.

Not to mention that Millsap is still on the rise at the age of 27, while West has declined from his peak.

When West was 27 years old, he and Paul fought against the Spurs in seven games in the second round of the playoffs, but unfortunately lost.

But in the playoffs, West, who averaged 21.2 points, 8.5 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game, also became famous in one battle.

"It's really my youth."

West was inexplicably reminded of his lost youth.

"seven!"

Collison passed the ball crosswise to Qi Tian in the high post, and he ran to the bottom corner.

The game had entered the scheduled time for the substitutes to play. Qi Tian also raised his hand and signaled to his teammates.

Others immediately started running.

Ragabel didn't know what tactic his opponent was calling, so he took advantage of the opportunity and quickly turned his head to see if there was a pick-and-roll behind him.

"Chance!"

Qi Tian now intends to develop an offensive model suitable for the three-point era. When he sees his opponent distracted, he will shoot a jump shot directly from outside the three-point line.

"What?"

Lagabel didn't expect Qi Tian to be so bold as to shoot.

"What?"

Vogel on the sidelines was also shocked.

"I am, I am Ze F..."

Pacers fans exclaimed.

"Whoosh!"

The basketball falls into the basket accurately.

"18-17."

"pretty!"

The Pacers fans on the sidelines waved their standing signs and portraits and cheered.

The timing of this shot was so amazing. It was clear that the attack time had only passed 12 seconds, and his teammates had not come up to pick and roll to create an opening, but Qi Tian took the shot. If he didn't score, it was his own fault, but the result was

After entering, the fans could only applaud.
