Basketball Legends: Strikers Are King

Rose called Noah to pick and roll, and Noah came up to block Collison, creating room for Rose to break through.

Hibbert reacted quickly, came up and delayed, and then followed Noah back to defense.

Collison also relied on the delay of his teammates to successfully return to Rose.

But Rose's speed has increased, and Collison can't keep up with his opponent.

"Now!"

Rose looked at Hibbert who returned to the basket and tried to protect the frame, feeling slightly happy.

"Now!"

When Granger saw Rose break through, he immediately followed the coach's instructions, let go of Luer Deng, and quickly retreated to the basket.

"What?"

Rose's rhythm was disrupted by his opponent's sudden cover. Before he could react, the basketball in his hand was snatched away by Granger.

"pretty!"

Pacers fans burst into joy.

Vogel on the sidelines also nodded slightly.

If you want to restrict Rose, you really can't rely on Collison alone, and even adding Hibbert may not be able to do it.

But what about adding one more person?

There are three people on the outside, forward and inside, who has the ability to break the situation?

This defensive method will have a very serious consequence, that is, the people being defended by Granger and Hibbert will be left open.

But Noah only has offensive deterrence at the basket. Luol Deng from beyond the three-point line?

His offensive threat is far less than Rose's.

"Even if his shooting ability is not as good as Seven, just let him stand in the open space."

Vogel was very satisfied. After realizing that the defensive tactics developed for Rose were effective, the Pacers' chances of winning greatly increased.

Granger grabbed the basketball and immediately rushed towards the opponent's half, with Collison and George also in front.

Hamilton and Luer Deng returned to defense quickly and tried their best to neutralize the opponent's fast break.

But after all, it was three-on-two in the frontcourt, and George ran into the open space and received Granger's pass.

Luer Deng quickly took back the basket and prepared to grab the rebound, but did not try to defend George.

"Are you looking down on me too much?"

George was furious and made a pull-up jumper.

But George missed Rose who rushed back. Rose jumped up from behind George and touched the basketball directly in the air.

"clang!"

The deflected basketball hit the backboard and was collected by Luer Deng and handed to Rose.

"Oops!"

George didn't have time to get frustrated and quickly turned around to grab the basketball, forcing Rose to slow down.

Others also quickly returned to defense, none of them wanted to experience the horror of facing Ross.

But they still underestimated Rose's strength. The moment a gap appeared, Rose started quickly, passed Collison and rushed toward the basket.

George in the bottom corner quickly let go of his opponent and rushed in.

Rose was not afraid at all and faced his opponent with a hard layup.

"Clang!"

The basketball bounced twice, but still fell out, and the basket suddenly became a mess.

In the panic, the basketball flew out of the baseline.

"Dudu!"

The referee blew the whistle, indicating that Hibbert had pushed the ball out of bounds, and the ball still belonged to the Bulls.

At this moment, the fans discovered that Hamilton of the Bulls raised his hand and was replaced by head coach Thibodeau.

"What's wrong?"

Bulls fans who weren't paying attention to the situation in the corner immediately turned around and asked their teammates.

The companion saw it clearly and said with a stern face:

"Hamilton was defeated without resistance."

He saw clearly that when George turned to defend Rose, Hamilton was waiting for the opportunity and ran out to find an opening, but soon touched his right calf and squatted down.

"ah?"

Bulls fans were shocked.

Basketball is a competitive sport, and injuries will never stop.

Injuries caused by scrambling or even colliding with opponents may be serious, or they may be just minor sprains, but there are no confrontation injuries, never trivial matters, joint contusions, muscle tears, or even a player's biggest enemy - a ruptured Achilles tendon.

For the Bulls last season, Bogans and Korver stood at the shooting guard. These two could be called yin and yang. One only knows how to defend, and his offensive shooting is slow and iron. The other is both stable and stable.

Accurate, but the defensive end is not much different from the air.

In order to fill the shooting guard vacancy, this year the Bulls signed Hamilton, who can both defend and catch the ball.

Although the masked mid-range shooting king is 34 years old, he is still able to average 14 points per game with a 42.9% shooting rate in the Pistons, and his three-point shooting rate is as high as 38.2%. For the space-starved Bulls, he is an excellent player.

Replenish.

"I just hope it's not seriously injured..."

Bulls fans murmured to themselves as they watched Hamilton being helped into the locker room by assistant coaches and staff.

The Pacers fans on the other side were in a much better mood.

Although they feel helpless for the injuries suffered by their players, the opponent is missing a general, and their chances of winning are indeed one point higher.

When Granger gave Luer Deng a big shot, the Pacers fans became even more excited.

But even without Hamilton, the strength of the Bulls cannot be underestimated. After Collison hit the iron, Luer Deng broke through the basket, causing George to foul, and went to the free throw line and made two free throws, breaking the two teams for nearly two minutes.

scoring drought.

"0-2."

Feeling the opponent's extremely oppressive defense again, the Pacers players on the field became increasingly uncomfortable.

West was guarded by Boozer and hit a jump shot. Rose took advantage of the opportunity and drove straight in, past Collison and hit a layup.

Fortunately, Granger responded and scored a jump shot.

Boozer hit a jumper, and Noah struggled to grab the offensive rebound and turned it over to Rose.

"Oops!"

Granger knew something was wrong when he saw Rose raising his hand. Sure enough, he saw Rose pass the ball to Luer Deng in the bottom corner.

Luer Deng caught the ball and ignored Granger's defense and forced a jump shot.

"Whoosh!"

Basketball hollow hit.

"2-7."

The two teams played for two and a half minutes, and neither team's combined score exceeded double digits.

At the critical moment when the score difference was getting wider and wider, the Pacers' offense finally became smoother. West, Granger and George scored 6 points in a row, flattening the score difference.

"Dudu!"

The referee pointed at Hibbert and indicated that he had committed a foul.

The Pacers, who had just regained their confidence, were immediately hit hard. Hibbert's number of fouls had reached 2!

Vogel had no choice but to replace him with Hansbrough.

"Whoosh!"

"clang!"

Noah made one of two free throws, giving the Pacers a chance.

Collison received a pass from his teammate and passed it directly to George who was cutting through the air.

George accelerated and threw away Brewer, directly facing Rose with a dunk!

"Dudu!"

At the same time as the basketball was dunked in, the referee blew the whistle to indicate that Rose had committed a shooting foul.

"Additional penalty!"

2+1!

George raised his arms and roared, which immediately attracted cheers from the fans.

After hitting the extra free throw, the Pacers finally took the lead.

The scores of the two teams gradually increased. With Luer Deng's two free throws at the last minute, the Bulls only led the Pacers by 2 points, 22-20.
