Basketball Legends: Strikers Are King

Klay Thompson turned around and grabbed the defensive rebound and handed it to his teammates.

Robinson got rid of Price's defense and made a pull-up jump shot.

"clang!"

The basketball jumped out of the hoop.

"Rebound!"

The smile that just appeared on Hill's face immediately dissipated, and Thompson flashed past Hill, came to the basket, grabbed the rebound, and scored a tip-in.

"25-24."

The Warriors overtook the score for the first time since the start of the game!

Warriors fans on the sidelines immediately cheered loudly for the team.

"Clay! So handsome!"

"I want you, Thompson, I want to give you a monkey!"

“It’s too Dior!”

George Hill was in a bit of a down mood, and it didn't matter that Thompson continued to grab rebounds. The reason that made him feel down was that after sitting out 13 games, he could clearly feel that his cooperation with his teammates had become sluggish.

As a point guard who makes the team's offense flow smoothly by organizing offense, this feeling is the most painful.

"George!"

Price dribbled over and found Hill on the right.

Although they are in a competitive relationship, winning is the ultimate goal on the court.

Hill gritted his teeth and called the pick-and-roll again.

Hansbrough blocked Thompson in front of him, and Hill directly broke through and made a jump shot from outside the three-point line.

But he underestimated Thompson, and saw Thompson quickly squeeze through the screen, return to Hill, and jump to interfere the moment the opponent took action.

"clang!"

The basketball missed, but fortunately Price rushed in and got the basketball.

"seven!"

Price was keenly aware of Qi Tian's presence and immediately passed the message.

"Oops!"

Rush quickly returned to defense.

But Qi Tian didn't stop the ball, received the ball and passed it directly to Hansbrough under the basket.

Hansbrough caught the ball and faced Yudu, forced a jump and shot for a layup.

"Dudu!"

The moment Yudu knocked the basketball down, the referee blew the whistle, indicating that Yudu had committed a shooting foul.

"Two free throws."

Hansbrough, who stepped to the free throw line, made two free throws to help the Pacers overtake the score again. The Pacers fans at the scene breathed a sigh of relief.

"25-26."

Nate Robinson broke through with the ball and passed the ball to Thompson.

Just as Thompson was about to break through Hill's defense, Qi Tian suddenly appeared and stole the basketball from his hand.

"Quick attack!"

Hill and Price immediately rushed out.

But Nate Robinson, Thompson and Rush were not slow at all, following their opponents closely and giving the Pacers no chance for a fast break.

When Qi Tian hesitated, Hansbrough crossed over in time, received Qi Tian's pass, and forced a three-step layup.

"Dudu!"

The referee whistled a foul on McGuire's shooting under the basket and sent Hansbrough to the free throw line.

"Hey, isn't this a black whistle?"

The Warriors fans present were immediately unhappy and started making noises one after another.

It’s not that they don’t understand football, on the contrary, they understand it too well.

The referees who officiate in the NBA are all veteran referees who have been working in the Development League for a long time. This in itself is a means for the NBA to try to make the game as fair as possible.

But no matter how skilled the referee is, he is still a human being and has his own subjective judgment.

If you can make the referee afraid by putting pressure on the referee and make a call that is beneficial to the team's victory in subsequent games, then everyone will not mind putting more pressure on the referee.

The 2005 playoffs is an example. The Mavericks met in the first round and lost two games in a row. Cuban protested to the league, believing that most of Yao Ming's screens were illegal. Then the Mavericks defeated the Rockets in a tiebreaker.

Entering the second round, Yao Ming was called for 4.4 fouls per game in that round.

Taking advantage of Hansbrough's free throw, Vogel replaced West.

The Pacers are short of interior players, and the Warriors' backup interior players are generally not very tall, so he feels comfortable letting West assume the center position.

Hansbrough made two free throws to help the team further open the score, but Yudu also hit back inside.

West held the ball in the high post, attracted the defense and then found Qi Tian from the outside.

Qi Tian caught the ball and made a jump shot.

"Whoosh!"

Basketball hollow hit.

"27-31."

"Handsome!"

A three-pointer widened the point difference, and the substitute players immediately waved the towels in their hands.

Thompson responded by breaking through and causing a foul on Qi Tian, ​​and went to the free throw line.

"clang!"

"Whoosh!"

Made one of two free throws to narrow the point difference again.

Collison, who had just appeared, glanced at Qi Tian and called for a pick-and-roll again.

Hansbrough blocked the little potato in front of Collison, and Collison immediately broke through and found Qi Tian in the bottom corner again.

"No way?"

The eyes of the Pacers fans showed expectation and they looked at Qi Tian intently.

Qi Tian collected the ball, jumped up, and steadily threw the basketball in his hand.

"Whoosh!"

Today's Pacers fans have never imagined that the sound of a basketball passing through the net is so sweet.

The Bankers Life Arena paused for a moment, and then erupted into huge cheers.

"28-34."

"Awesome!"

There was a uniform shout from the bench, which was the result of the efforts of Stephenson, who had learned a word.

Thompson turned his head blankly and glanced at Qi Tian, ​​who was calmly returning to defense, and was shocked.

"Is this...the power of a three-point shot?"

In just two offensive rounds, the Pacers opened the point difference to 6 points, which made Thompson tremble like an electric shock.

"Stephen, Stephen is right, everyone underestimates the three-pointer, and they will definitely pay the price!"

He has never been so respectful to what Curry said to him a month ago, and to Curry's long-term vision as he is today.

"As long as we turn the three-pointer into a conventional weapon, then the next few years, no, the next ten years, will be our world!"

Thompson is full of expectations for the future, but at this time, he is still a rookie trying to squeeze into the rotation.

Rush hit a jump shot, but the Pacers steadily controlled the situation and maintained a 6-point lead.

Halfway through the second quarter, both teams replaced some of their starters.

Although Youdu caused 2+1 and narrowed the point difference to 3 points, their offense then stalled.

The Pacers scored consecutively from Granger, West and George.

"Dudu!"

The referee blew the half-time whistle, and the Pacers entered the second half with a 14-point lead of 52-38.

"this,"

Jersey No. 30 watched with some despair as the Warriors returned to the locker room through the tunnel.

"This is terrible."

Not only is it tragic, now that three-pointers are not taken seriously, the 14-point lead is almost a natural chasm. Unless the opponent has a big problem, otherwise, it is simply impossible to tie.

In the second half, the Pacers did not relax. After scoring 28-17 in the second quarter, they shot 33-18 in the third quarter, and the lead directly reached 31 points.

"54-85."

"It's over."

Looking at the frozen score, Warriors fans were in despair.

The Warriors, who had no fighting spirit, finally lost to their opponents 78-105.
