Basketball Legends: Strikers Are King

Vogel called a timeout.

At this time, the Heat had scored 5 points in the last minute of overtime to equalize the score.

"91-91."

He didn't want to call a timeout, but his opponent's momentum was overwhelming. In addition to the experienced Granger and West, Qitian Hibbert was still a first-year and second-year rookie, and even starting point guard Darren Curry

Sen, is still a third-year rookie.

The victory of the game lies in this critical minute, he must be cautious.

"It's still Danny who takes action."

Vogel set the tone of the game and said to Collison,

"Keep the ball on the outside and look for opportunities. If the opponent's defense is not tight, pass it to Danny."

"Others create space."

Granger nodded heavily. As the boss of the team, he did his duty.

"Increase the defensive intensity and don't let them find opportunities easily!"

Heat coach Spoelstra didn't have time to thank his opponents for calling a timeout so they could plan their defensive strategies. He told his players,

"The opponent's forward will be the focus of the offense. Dwayne and LeBron, you have to keep an eye on it, especially Granger!"

Wade and James nodded together.

Heat fans are very optimistic about winning the game.

"With just a few rookies, how can they make waves? We have three giants!"

"That's right, our perimeter defense is airtight. Maybe Wade will just make a break, and then he can shoot an arrow and hit a buzzer-beater!"

"The Pacers, a civilian team, still want to beat us?"

The Pacers fans were at the opponent's home court, so there were only a few of them, so they could only swallow their anger when they heard the taunts.

"Mad, our boss Danny is no worse than them, okay? If we also have Wade and Bosh, can we still let the Bulls take first place in the league?"

"Um……"

"What, you don't believe Boss Danny?"

"Believe, believe."

The outcome of the game was decided in the last minute. Even the referee was a lot more cautious. After confirming that the field was still 5-on-5, the line referee handed the basketball to Hibbert, who was serving, and then blew the whistle to continue the game.

The whistle sound:

"Dudududu!"

Afterwards, the referee started counting the seconds and always pay attention to Hibbert's 5-second serving violation.

The Heat rotated quickly and barely exposed any open opportunities. Fortunately, Collison ran back and caught Hibbert's serve, so his opponent did not cause a service violation.

"Run!"

Collison stood near the center circle and gestured to his teammates.

Hibbert West was already in position, and Granger quickly came to the outside to catch the ball after picking and rolling with Qi Tian.

When the drama came, the Pacers fans and players on the bench held their breath, waiting for Granger to perform.

Granger waited for 10 seconds left in the attack time before suddenly starting to break through quickly with the help of West's pick-and-roll.

James quickly bypassed the pick-and-roll and pursued the defense.

"Chance!"

Granger saw that James was not squeezing the screen but going around the screen. He immediately seized the opportunity. He collected the ball and retreated, faced Bosh, and forcibly threw the basketball.

The basketball draws an arc.

"clang!"

"oops!"

There was a cry from the bench.

As if it hit the fans' hearts, the basketball bounced high.

"rebound!"

Hibbert just wanted to use his advantage, but was blocked by Haslem in front of him. For a moment, he couldn't reach the basketball that was so close at hand!

Battier ran in and collected the basketball, then turned around and handed it to his teammates.

"Don't worry!"

James quickly stopped his teammates from acting rashly. After Qitian Collison returned without success, he took over the basketball and prepared to organize an attack.

In order to strengthen their defense, the Heat have replaced Chalmers with Battier.

"In 47 seconds, there is still a chance!"

George, sitting on the bench, muttered to himself.

Although Granger's jump shot missed, the Pacers still have an opportunity to attack. As long as they can prevent the Heat's attack, they will still have a chance.

Spoelstra did not call a timeout, which would provide the opponent with an opportunity to deploy defense or even make substitutions.

He trusts the players on the field to make the best judgment possible.

James stood firmly at the top of the arc, waiting for time to pass. Several of Granger's steals were easily resolved by him. He made a breakthrough and frightened Granger so much that he retreated beyond the three-point line.

Wade and Bosh set up an off-ball pick-and-roll, and then quickly ran towards the outside.

Qi Tian felt bad and quickly chased around the cover.

But James didn't give the ball and still stood outside the three-point line.

"Could it be?"

Qi Tian's heart moved, thinking of James' habit of shooting three-pointers. Just when he was about to talk to Granger, Wade ran again, trying to find an opportunity.

"Watch the rebound!"

Qi Tian could only remind Hibbert when he passed by the basket.

"Beep, beep, beep..."

Time flowed at a constant speed. When there was not much attack time left and the total time was only 30 seconds, James finally made a move.

He called for a pick-and-roll, and just like Granger, he moved one step beyond the three-point line and shot!

"clang!"

The sound of iron strikes made the Pacers fans overjoyed and the Heat fans were annoyed. They all looked towards the basket.

"rebound!"

Hibbert and Haslem, who were 218 centimeters under the basket, immediately fought together.

Haslem, who is 203 centimeters tall, got the rebound!

"What?"

The Pacers on the sidelines screamed. Neither they nor the fans expected that first-year Qi Tian did not stretch his hips. Instead, Hibbert, who had a big advantage, was robbed of two key points by Haslem.

rebound!

The moment the dust settled on the rebound, the timer showed the game time:

23.8 seconds.

"It's over!"

The eyes of the Pacers fans went dark. The last opportunity to attack was taken by the Heat. The Pacers had lost the opportunity and could only use defense to delay the second overtime as much as possible.

Wade got the basketball and came to the outside.

"No way."

Qi Tian knew that the Heat would wait until the end before taking action, so he stepped forward directly to press for the ball. Wade seized the opportunity of his opponent's sudden advance, broke through directly to the basket, and hit a layup!

"91-93."

There are only 9.6 seconds left!

"Made's management knows that the rookie is really special and unreliable!"

“*uc* Apocalypse!”

Many Pacers fans were furious.

Vogel quickly called the last timeout.

There is not much time, they must deploy a quick attack strategy.

"There is still a chance, there is still a chance."

There are still many Pacers fans on the sidelines who are willing to believe in the team.

"It's better to focus on individual defense and don't give your opponent an open chance."

Spoelstra looked at James,

"They will definitely hand it over to Granger and keep an eye on him."

"clear!"

James nodded and returned to the court with his teammates.

Sure enough, it was Granger who caught the ball, and James immediately followed, always paying attention to the signs of his opponent's shot and getting ready to block the shot.

"5,4,3..."

Granger looked at the timer, gritted his teeth, and was about to take action forcefully.

"outside!"

At this moment, he heard Qi Tian's voice, saw Qi Tian coming out to ask for the ball, and subconsciously passed the basketball out. This was part of the offensive tactics arranged by the coach.

Qi Tian catches the ball and shoots directly.

"Whoosh!"

"1,0!"

The light is on, the ball is in!

"94-93."

Buzzer-beater!
