Basketball Legends: Strikers Are King

Chapter 199 Overtime Showdown

"LeBron~~~~James~~~for~~three!!!"

The DJ at the scene gave the fans the greatest respect and shouted James' name in a long voice.

The Heat fans on the sidelines immediately became excited and waved their banners wildly to cheer for James.

"pause!"

Vogel called the last timeout, intending to lay out tactics for the team.

In 10 seconds, they theoretically still have a chance to win. Although they need to make a quick tactic, it is enough.

The Pacers fans on the sidelines were a little confused.

From leading by 3 points to tying, only 24 seconds passed. Only 24 seconds passed between victory and overtime!

They need to calm down.

The Pacers took the lead in replacing Hansbrough. 10 seconds was not enough for Hibbert to perform, and staying on the court was also a burden.

"As for the outside line..."

Vogel hesitated and did not replace Qi Tian.

At the most critical moment, he believed in second-year George.

Rookies who want to adapt to the league must be prepared to pay tuition at any time, but Vogel does not want to use this game to pay.

With the score tied, the Pacers have many options, but not that many.

The Heat guessed it right.

James followed Granger closely, completely covering his opponent by himself and not giving his opponent a chance at all.

"hateful!"

Granger watched the game time pass and could only choose to pass the ball, but his idea of ​​passing it to Collison was too obvious. Battier decisively jumped out from the side and stole the ball from Collison in the last 0.3 seconds.

ball.

"Dudududu!"

The referee blew the whistle at the end of regular time, and the two sides tied were ready to enter overtime.

"Nice!!!"

Although the score is the same, the mood of the fans is completely different.

Relying on James' three-pointer to tie the score, the momentum of the Heat fans has gradually increased, and the other side is naturally the descending Pacers fans.

Compared with a 12-minute game in regular time, the 5 minutes of overtime are obviously not a good time to change the team's lineup rashly.

So Vogel still named Hibbert, West, Granger, George and Collison.

"The competition in overtime is not only about physical fitness and technology, but also about will and perseverance,"

Vogel was about to make an impassioned speech, but was interrupted by George next to him:

"Coach, let Qi go in overtime?!"

"Are you teaching me how to do things?"

Vogel immediately glared at George.

What he hates most is people outside the team's coaching staff interfering in the game, let alone a second grader who dares to steal the ball in overtime. How can he still do it when he grows up?

This is because Granger is generous and doesn't mind George wanting to take the ball, etc...

"Substitution?"

Only then did Vogel realize that what he heard was not that George wanted to add more offensive plays in overtime, but that he planned to give up the opportunity to Qi Tian.

"Why?"

George really explained:

"I've already committed five fouls. I guess the defense in overtime won't be too fierce. Plus, my physical strength is a bit exhausted. Isn't it good to have someone all over the place?"

He was used to being rude, but now he was speaking sincerely.

Vogel was already hesitating between George and Qi Tian. He was immediately happy when he heard George's words, but he still couldn't believe that someone was willing to give up his playing time.

George immediately urged:

"Coach, hurry up, overtime is about to begin."

"All right."

Vogel was vaguely convinced and adjusted Qi Tian to the overtime lineup.

"Paul, you..."

Qi Tian was inexplicably moved.

But George patted him on the shoulder and said:

"This is your chance. I'm your big brother, so of course I have to protect you."

"But you kid, you have to give me some encouragement and don't embarrass your elder brother."

"Brother, I have to hang out with my eldest brother."

He looked at the direction of the Heat's bench on the other side, and comforted Qi Tianda:

"But don't put too much pressure on me. Any losses you suffer now will be your experience in the future."

"The opponent is the Heat after all."

Qi Tian didn't expect that George had to say all the good things alone, so he could only nodded.

"I will definitely do my best to lead the team to victory."

"It's boss Danny's job to lead the team to victory. You just have to do your part first."

George did not allow Qi Tian to cross the line and quickly corrected him.

"Okay, okay, let's win under the leadership of Boss Danny."

"I am your boss, Danny is my boss, you should call him Laobo."

Qi Tian could only nod in agreement. Sometimes, George acted childishly like a child, completely unlike him in the nightclub.

So, the break ended and overtime began.

"Is that seven?"

Looking at the lineup of the Pacers, Pacers fans were shocked, and some even started counting from the beginning:

"No. 2 is Collison, No. 21 is West, No. 33 is Danny, and No. 55 is Hibbert. Sure enough, there is no George?"

"Are you stupid? George is No. 24, why do you need to look at the presence of others to infer whether George is there or not?"

"You two are not much different. Number 7 is Qi Tian. Even the fans who just watched the game know that, right?"

While the fans were discussing, the Heat team on the opposite side also laughed a little when they saw their opponent's lineup.

"Isn't it a little too arrogant to use a first-year rookie?"

Bosh, who had a slender neck, said disdainfully.

Wade grinned and said relaxedly:

"I also thought I would encounter that brown candy."

Obviously, George's defense still put a lot of pressure on him.

"Don't be careless."

On the contrary, James, the youngest among the Big Three, is the most stable. He said,

"There must be a reason for the opponent to replace that first-year rookie. Just his outside shooting can already help the opponent open up space."

"Don't worry."

Chalmers said,

"No matter what the lineup is, we will not be inferior to them."

Wade glanced at Chalmers with interest but said nothing.

With his words, he placed himself as a member of the team rather than as a vassal of the Big Three. Wade appreciated this attitude very much.

“Let’s have a big fight!”

James walked in front and faced the Pacers head-on.

Unlike other basketball games, NBA overtime also requires a jump ball.

Only this time, Hibbert didn't grab the ball.

Wade takes the ball in the backcourt and prepares to organize an attack.

"Newcomer, come and show yourself."

Wade flashed the basketball in his hand towards Qi Tianliang, and when he saw that his opponent didn't move, he was about to pass it to his teammate.

But the moment he passed the ball, Qi Tian suddenly jumped out and intercepted the basketball!

"What?"

Wade was shocked, but he didn't forget to remedy the situation. He quickly came over to fight for the ball. Although he failed to counterattack successfully, he still forced his opponent to stop and prevented him from making a fast break.

Qi Tian first avoided Wade's steal, then slowly dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and handed it to Collison at the top of the arc.

This is the first offense of overtime and they must be cautious.
