Basketball Legends: Strikers Are King

After the first quarter, the Pacers actually led their opponents by 9 points 26-17 entering the second quarter!

"It seems like that's all the Heat do?!"

The team played a brilliant game inside and outside, and the fans immediately started to tremble and began to look down on their opponents.

But the coaching team on the sidelines knows that the real test begins now.

In the second quarter of the game, the Pacers still came on the bench.

However, the Heat replaced Bosh, who had rested for 4 minutes in the first quarter, and played with Cole, Miller, Battier and Haslem.

"Coming!"

Brian Shaw watched Bosh come on the court, but quickly glanced at his opponent and looked at his opponent's bench.

The real power of the Big Three is that they can use two people in the connecting section to buy rest time for the other person. Even if another person is replaced, it will still be a lineup led by the giants.

Even if it's only against Bosh, the current Pacers' substitutes may not be able to withstand it.

"I don't know if they can withstand it."

Vogel looked at the bench, a little worried.

George Hill showed signs of recurrence due to his wrist injury, and he wanted stability. Vogel did not put him on the active list.

In other words, today's substitute lineup only has two scoring points, Qi Tian and Hansbrough. Against Bosh, the odds of winning are really hard to say.

The first few players didn't feel good, Bosh and Price missed consecutive jump shots, and the sound of iron continued for two minutes.

"Give me!"

Qi Tian came out from the high post to ask for the ball, and when he received the ball, he faced Battier's defense.

Battier can be said to be the top 3D player in the league. Facing his defense, Qi Tian was a little frightened. He broke through the ball and directly found Adamson under the basket, assisting his teammate to score a reverse layup, breaking the

Scoring shortage.

"28-17."

When the Pacers widened the point difference to double digits, the referee blew the whistle to indicate Bosh's shooting foul.

2+1!

Unfortunately, Amandasson's extra penalty missed the mark.

However, the Pacers' momentum had already increased. When Haslem grabbed the rebound, he stepped forward to press for it, causing Bosh's mistake.

"Dudu!"

The referee blew the whistle, signaling Bosh to go out of bounds, and awarded the ball to the Pacers.

"OK!"

The Pacers fans on the sidelines cheered and cheered for the team.

"The opponent's inside line is weak, so we can focus on the inside line!"

Qi Tian never expected that their substitute lineup would sometimes be able to carry the weight inside.

Since Hansbrough was demoted to the bench, his performance has been far inferior to last season, and substitute center Amandelson can only play in corner time.

But even so, facing Bosh, who has a giant inside, they can actually dominate inside?!

Qi Tian called for a pick-and-roll, broke through to attract the defense, and handed it to Hansbrough at the basket.

Hansbrough also wanted to score like Amandasson, so he repeated his old trick and rushed towards the basket.

But his attempt was seen through by Bosh, who sent a hot pot shot, and Haslem got the basketball.

Battier picked up the ball at the top of the arc, and his idea of ​​passing it to Bosh inside was also understood by Amandasen, who suddenly jumped out and destroyed the opponent's pass.

After receiving the ball, Qi Tian immediately turned around for a fast break, used a fake pass to dodge Miller in front of him, and made an easy layup.

"30-17."

"Oh~~~!"

Seeing the substitute lineup widening the point difference, the players on the bench cheered and shouted in unison:

"Nice pen!"

"Apply for substitution!"

Spoelstra on the sidelines quickly signaled to the technical table and replaced Wade.

"We will win for sure today while walking the horse!"

Seeing that the opponent replaced Wade with 9 minutes left in the second quarter, a Pacers fan wearing Qi Tian's No. 7 jersey said confidently.

"How to say?"

The companion next to him immediately asked.

Jersey No. 7 smiled and said:

"How can Wade and Bosh use their physical strength like this? They are going to play now. When our main players are all on the field, they will definitely take a break. By then, they can take away the opponent in one wave!"

Seeing his confident and even arrogant look, his companion did not speak, but sighed silently in his heart.

If the Heat only had Wade and Bosh, they would not have substituted them in advance in the second quarter, but their teammates knew the reason why they dared to substitute Wade and Bosh.

He looked at player No. 6 who was resting on the bench, feeling heavy in his heart.

Even when Wade came on the court, Qi Tian did not stop. He took a pass from Price and hit a three-point jumper.

Wade made two free throws and Qi Tian made a breakthrough and scored, assisting Price in making a shot.

Bosh's touch finally returned, and his high-post jump shot diffracted his opponents.

"35-25."

"Apply for substitution!"

Halfway through the second quarter, Spoelstra finally couldn't bear it anymore and replaced James on the court.

When James came on the court, he helped Wade with a pick-and-roll. Wade broke through Qi Tian's defense, easily shook off his opponent in a three-step layup, and made a layup.

Vogel's eyelids twitched on the other side, and he quickly requested a substitution, replacing Granger and Collison on the field.

Even Brian Shaw, who believed in Qi Tian, ​​did not think that the current Qi Tian had the ability to play against Wade James. After comforting Qi Tian who was off the court, he immediately turned to look at the game.

The Heat brought the score closer, and Collison immediately assisted George and hit a three-pointer to return the favor.

But Wade James showed off his strength and scored consecutively, leading the team to catch up to one point.

Fortunately, Collison hit a three-pointer in the last round, and the Pacers entered the second half with a 4-point lead 43-39.

"This bad coach, if he hadn't replaced Qi, the team wouldn't have been chased so close!"

Jersey No. 7 immediately cursed the coach,

"Just change it to Danny. Even if you believe in Qi, can't you let him play point guard?"

His companion glanced at him but said nothing.

Entering the third quarter, the Heat have already given this Qitian fan the answer.

In the first 2 minutes, James scored 5 points in a row and took the lead. Fortunately, George and Granger scored consecutively and regained the lead again.

Both sides increased their defensive intensity at the same time. In the 3-minute game, both sides shot 1 of 4 and 2 of 5 in a 3-4. The other players were completely reduced to spectators, only Granger Hibbert and Bosh James.

Score, the score is back to the same starting line.

"50-50."

"Understood?"

The companion glanced at the No. 7 jersey and said calmly,

"The difference between the starter and the substitute is that under high-intensity defense, the starter still has some scoring ability, but the substitute doesn't even have a chance to take a shot."

"In other words, this has nothing to do with the starting substitutes, it is only related to the strength of the stars. I know you like Qi Tian, ​​but you ask yourself, can Qi Tian perform as well as he does in the substitute lineup under this kind of defensive intensity?"

No. 7 Jersey was silent for a while before replying:

"I'm afraid not, he won't be able to withstand it."
