Basketball Legends: Strikers Are King

Qi Tian scored to widen the point difference, but Favors and Josh Howard responded again, scoring 4 points in a row to help the Jazz chase the point.

"77-84."

"this……"

The Pacers fans on the sidelines looked at each other and had to say comments they thought they would never hear from the substitute players.

"It's so hard to support the seven trees?!"

Since the main players took a break, only Qi Tian and Hansbrough scored 5 points among the substitute players. Qi Tian assisted Hansbrough with the ball, but Hansbrough only scored successfully with one pass.

"Did Lance hit some chickens?"

The worst player among them was Stephenson. Not only did he make two shots, but the two free throws he got from fouls all missed, giving the opponent the ball in vain.

"Even if I play, I won't miss a single free throw?!"

A fan wearing Hibbert's No. 55 jersey hates iron for not being able to make steel.

"This is actually no wonder Stephenson, right?"

Hearing that someone was cleaning the floor for Stephenson, No. 55 jersey was immediately furious.

"Tell me, he has only scored 4 points so far... Well, he can't even make a free throw. Who should be blamed?"

As soon as the No. 55 jersey stutters, the flames of war will be drawn to Granger. You must know that Granger has only scored 4 points so far.

He quickly changed his tune and criticized Stephenson's missed free throw.

"I advise this fan to understand the concept of free throws first. This is the easiest way to score in the league. If you can't even make a free throw, you will lose face!"

That man was wearing West's No. 21 jersey. He was obviously a new fan. What do new fans know?

Jersey No. 55 thought disdainfully.

"hehe,"

No. 21 Jersey sneered and said,

"Of course it's the coach's fault. He let Lance play as a substitute with such a poor performance. I don't understand. Is it so difficult to replace George? George's physical strength can't last for less than 40 minutes, right?"

"They are friendly forces."

Only then did Jersey No. 55 realize that he had accidentally injured a friendly force, and quickly nodded in agreement.

"Yeah, yeah, this bullshit coach can't even handle a rookie?"

They forgot that Vogel was promoted from chief assistant to head coach in the middle of last season, and it was Vogel's decision to ban Stephenson from the end of the season until the playoffs.

"Paul, you played the full game in the fourth quarter!"

Vogel quickly made a decision and told George.

"Don't worry, coach!"

George didn't play much in the third quarter because of foul trouble. He was already holding in his anger and wanted to take it out on the Jazz.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Pacers directly put Stephenson on the bench and replaced him with the four-substitute lineup led by George.

The Jazz still have a full bench lineup led by Miles, Josh Howard and Favors.

"That's right, the walkers will win!"

The fans were very satisfied and began to cheer for the home team players who came on stage.

"Coach, do you want me to play?"

Hayward on the sidelines couldn't hold it in anymore and asked the head coach for a fight.

He only played 17 minutes in the first three quarters, and even if he played the full fourth quarter, he would not have played for 30 minutes. When he saw George on the court, he wanted to fight with him.

"No rush."

Head coach Corbin had already planned it and was not in a hurry to let Hayward play.

Compared with the Pacers, who aim to go further in the playoffs, the Jazz's need for record this year is not as strong as imagined.

The main reason is the departure of Deron Williams.

Without the big brother who takes the lead, if you want to face the strong teams in the Western Conference in the playoffs, you will know how slim the odds of winning are if you think about it with your heels.

The departure of meritorious coach Sloan also requires the Jazz to find a new coach and develop new tactics in the next few years.

The Jazz are currently at a delicate crossroads.

In terms of strength, although they lost their leading brother, Harris and Favors who were traded performed well, and coupled with their original background of making the playoffs all year round, the Jazz management could not let go of ticket revenue from the playoffs;

But the team has no future expectations. Even if it reaches the playoffs, it is obvious to the naked eye that it will not go far, so it is better to just mess up and get a high draft pick;

After playing 23 games, the team was firmly stuck on the edge of the playoffs.

I want to walk up, but I can't do anything;

I want to go down, but I can't keep my face.

Judging from Corbin's observation, the team may not make a decision until after the All-Star Game and until the last few games of the season.

At this time, we must make reasonable use of the main players who may be in the lineup next season, such as Millsap, Jefferson and others.

Although the rookie Hayward selected last season gave Corbin enough surprises, he still did not dare to overuse him. After all, compared to the resistance of black people, Hayward is still a white man.

The Pacers Price dribbled forward, and Myers jumped out from the side, stole the opponent, and quickly made a layup.

"79-84."

"Wait a little longer."

Seeing that the substitute was not at a disadvantage, Corbin comforted Hayward and continued to watch the game.

Price, who was eager to perform, made a jump shot. When his teammates blocked the Jazz's offense, he made another low-level mistake and gave the ball to others.

"Tsk."

Vogel shook his head dissatisfied, found an opportunity, and replaced Collison.

The two sides exchanged a series of mistakes. Qi Tian found an opportunity, stole the basketball from the opponent's inside, and rushed towards the frontcourt.

"Give me!"

George quickly ran outside the three-point line and reached out towards Qi Tian for the ball.

If it had been anyone else, Qi Tian would not have spread the news because he had seen too much blacksmithing today, but George was an exception.

It's just that George's three-pointer also disappointed Qitian.

"clang!"

The basketball that bounced out of the frame was caught by Favors. After giving it to his teammates, Favors forced a breakthrough to the basket, caught the ball and hit a layup.

"83-84."

The Jazz played a 6-0 wave and chased the point difference to 1 point!

Vogel finally got anxious and took advantage of the dead ball opportunity to directly apply for substitutions and replaced Hibbert and West, hoping to use the starting inside line to strengthen the inside defense.

Seeing his opponent making consecutive substitutions with 9 minutes left in the game, Corbin had a sarcastic smile on his face.

In the first three quarters of the game, West, Hibbert, Collison and others have already played a lot of playing time. Add in the 9 minutes in the fourth quarter, at least three of the Pacers will play more than 35 minutes.

In Corbin's expectation, only Millsap and Jefferson will play more than 30 minutes.

"Premature exhaustion of energy will affect the player's condition. The Pacers can only place their hope on the main force."

The head coach of the Jazz looked at the court with satisfaction.

David West wanted the ball from the high post for a single. The moment he took the shot, Millsap quickly jumped up to interfere.

"clang!"

His jump shot is amazing.
