Basketball Legends: Strikers Are King

Watching James shoot free throws, Vogel was not surprised.

He could foresee being put on the bench and being chased by his opponent for points, and he was even mentally prepared for it:

We have been dealing with our opponents for most of the game, even if the game collapsed in the last two minutes, as long as we don't lose too much before the main force comes on stage.

A difference of 4 points, um, maybe 6 points, is acceptable.

Forget it, let’s keep it within 10 points.

When Vogel was predicting the situation on the court, James once again made two free throws, opening the point difference to 3 points.

"54-57."

"Pick and roll!"

Granger called the pick-and-roll, and then Hansbrough blocked James' opportunity, forced a break through Battier's defense, caused Eddy Curry's foul under the basket, and went to the free throw line.

The feel of free throws is contagious, and Granger actually made one of two free throws.

James received a pass from his teammate in the backcourt and rushed towards the opponent's half again, hoping for a fast break.

But Granger followed closely and successfully interfered with his opponent's shot.

"clang!"

The sound of basketball hammering drew disappointed sighs from fans.

Price followed up with the basket, got the basketball, and then turned around to prepare for a fast break.

Cole tried his best to defend, but his opponent still broke through. However, Price did not force forward, but passed directly to the left corner. Standing there was none other than Qitian!

"good!!"

The Pacers fans suddenly became excited and began to cheer for Qi Tian.

"This goal must go in! It must go in!"

Under the expectant eyes of the fans, Qi Tian jumped up decisively and took a long three-point shot!

"clang!"

The basketball hit the edge of the basket hard, and the loud sound almost filled the entire American Airlines Center arena.

Just when the hope in the eyes of the Pacers fans turned into disappointment, the new player Amandasen suddenly jumped up and grabbed the offensive rebound!

"pretty!"

The fans who were about to sit down stood up again and watched as Amandasen passed the ball back to Granger in the high post. Granger made an emergency jump shot!

"clang!"

What responded to them was the second piece of iron.

In front of Haslem, who was 203 centimeters away, Amandasson was like a god of war. He took off again and grabbed his second offensive rebound!

"Nice!"

The Pacers fans stood up again as if they were doing a deep squat. Watching Amandasson pass the ball to Qi Tian, ​​they murmured in their hearts:

"Qi, can he do it? This is not normal."

Fortunately, Qi Tian did not choose to go up, but directly handed over to Hansbrough who was down.

Hansbrough caught the ball and hit a layup directly.

"Dudu!"

The referee pointed at Curry under the basket, indicating that it was his defensive foul.

2+1!

Hansbrugga made a free throw and succeeded in taking the lead in the last 2 minutes.

"OK!!"

Seeing the scoreboard jump to 58-57, the Pacers fans on the sidelines immediately shouted excitedly.

The Heat responded with a jump shot from Eddie Curry assisting Battier under the basket, taking the lead again.

Qi Tian received a pass from Granger, took a feint, broke through the basket, faced his opponent, and threw the basketball.

"Dudu!"

The referee signaled a foul to the opponent and sent Qi Tian to the free throw line.

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

Qi Tian steadily hit two free throws amidst the disruptive sounds of the fans in the audience.

Spoelstra requested a substitution, and in just 2 minutes, substitute center Eddy Curry committed four fouls, successfully making the head coach lose confidence in him.

Joel Anthony came on the court again, attacking inside and causing Qi Tian to foul, and he went to the free throw line and made one of two free throws.

Granger waited for Price to dribble the ball past half-court, then he lifted it up and reached for the ball, receiving the ball and quickly passing it to Qi Tian in the high post.

Qi Tian caught the ball and broke through again, causing another foul on the opponent's inside line.

"Woo!!!!"

Qi Tian tried his best to ignore the disruptive voices of the fans in his ears and threw the basketball out.

"Whoosh!"

He took a few deep breaths again and threw the basketball.

"clang!"

The basketball hit the basket and was picked up by Anthony who was waiting under the basket. As Battier missed a three-pointer, at the end of the third quarter, the Pacers unexpectedly took the lead, although it was only 1 point.

"61-60."

Granger and James looked at each other and walked to their respective benches in tacit understanding.

Although they stayed on the court for the last two minutes of the third quarter, they were already preparing for the fourth quarter. They did not continue to use up their energy to attack, but instead allowed their teammates to take more shots.

The Pacers took the lead, which was an unexpected surprise for Granger and acceptable for James.

The fourth quarter of the game is the real test for Qi Tian.

The Pacers sent out a pure substitute lineup of Price, Stephenson, Qi Tian, ​​Hansbrough and Amandasson, while the Heat used Cole, Battier, James, Haslem and Bosh.

Giant lineup.

"Buy time for your teammates,"

Vogel said to the players before they took the stage,

"Fight like you normally would."

When he actually faced his opponent, Qi Cai felt the fighting spirit ignited in his chest.

Now is his chance to show himself.

He could feel his slightly trembling hands, not from fear, but from excitement.

"Pick and roll!"

Qi Tian held the ball in the high post and called a pick-and-roll. Taking advantage of Hansbrough's opportunity to block James, he forced a breakthrough and hit the ground to Hansbrough who followed him.

The Pacers have the advantage inside, so they naturally have to attack the advantageous points first.

But the Heat were well prepared, and Haslem firmly blocked the opponent's lower plate and successfully interfered with his shot.

"clang!"

The basketball bounced out of the frame, but Amandasen jumped high, picked off the offensive rebound, and turned around and passed it to his teammates.

Qi Tian did not stop when he received the ball, but passed it to Hansbrough again, assisting his teammate to score.

"63-60."

Cole advanced with the ball, and Stephenson saw the opportunity, moved quickly, and stole the opponent's basketball.

"Quick attack!"

Qitian and Price quickly ran toward the opponent's half, followed closely by Shane Battier and Cole.

Qi Tian was not the only one who wanted to be expressive. Stephenson accelerated directly past Cole and rushed into the basket.

But Bosh didn't give him a chance to perform. He turned back and gave Stephenson a big shot in the air!

"Good hat!"

Heat fans on the sidelines immediately cheered loudly and cheered for Bosh.

James got the rebound, turned around to attack, and looked at Qi Tian's defense in front of him. He smiled slightly and gestured to his teammates.

Open singles!

Qi Tian took a deep breath, lowered his center of gravity, and faced his opponent's attack.

"The attitude is good, but unfortunately the gap in strength cannot be made up by attitude."

James uttered a trash talk and directly used his speed to break through.

"snort!"

Qi Tian snorted coldly, endured the pain in his muscles, and followed James closely.

"Dudu!"

The moment Qi Tian knocked out his opponent's basketball, the referee blew the whistle.

"Shooting foul, two free throws!"

"Apply for substitution!"

As James stepped to the free throw line, Vogel quickly replaced Granger.
