Basketball Legends: Strikers Are King

"Shua~~~!!!!"

Ten seconds flew by, and some Pacers fans, dissatisfied with Qi Tian, ​​finally got a result that made them overjoyed.

They wiped their eyes and stared at the frozen scoreboard and the timer returning to zero, dumbfounded.

"Win, win?"

They turned their heads and looked blankly, and when they saw the Heat fans preparing to leave the game with frustrated faces, they finally realized that the victory of the game belonged to the Pacers.

"oh!!!!"

"Win!!"

"A buzzer-beater, a buzzer-beater?!"

"Or a three-pointer?"

The Pacers fans, who were far fewer in number than the home Heat fans, roared loudly to cheer the team.

Qi Tian scratched his head. Compared to the cheers of the fans, the silence at the home court seemed to excite him more.

"Boy, you are really good at it!"

Granger and West came over and warmly praised Qi Tian before shaking hands with the Heat players who came over one by one.

"Well played."

Wade shook hands with Qi Tian first. Although George was guarding him throughout the game, it was obviously Qi Tian who left the deepest impression on him.

What's more, Wade is 30 years old this year, and Qi Tian can only be regarded as his junior, so Wade's mentality is very peaceful.

Qi Tian only scored 14 points today, ranking third among the Pacers, but he made the buzzer-beating shot and was undoubtedly the absolute protagonist today.

Although James was unwilling to accept it, this defeat was still in the regular season after all, so he walked over and said a few polite words, and then walked back to the locker room with his teammates.

At this moment, everyone on the bench had already rushed out. George and Stephenson looked at each other and knocked Qi Tian down.

"What, what?"

Qi Tian was stunned for a moment before his teammates lifted him up and threw him into the air.

"oh!"

“That’s awesome!”

"Today, you are Jesus!"

The Pacers teammates threw Qitian several times before putting him down.

Qi Tian also accepted an interview after the game for the first time in a long time. With the standard answers he prepared, he successfully passed the test.

After this battle, Qitian officially appeared in the eyes of all fans.

Although the Bulls are number one in the league this year, strength and traffic are obviously not completely linked. The only teams that attract the most attention in the league are the Heat and the Lakers.

The Pacers, or Qi Tian, ​​who defeated the Big Three, immediately received a lot of attention after the game.

"Who is this rookie? He can kill the Big Three in his first year?!"

"Hey, I'm still an Asian, so my university is unknown."

"Oh, I scored 15 points in the final quarter against the Bulls two days ago. He is still very capable."

"Fake fans, people have scored twice to kill the game before."

"Really or not, a rookie only has three kills? Is it so fierce?"

"This was obtained by someone who served as a substitute for Granger and George and seized every opportunity."

"Big news, this Apocalypse turned out to be the second-round pick of the Spurs!"

"Spurs? No wonder, the low-ranking pick has to be San Antonio. No, how did he come to the Pacers?"

"Let's see... in the deal involving George Hill and the first-round pick, he was sent away by the Spurs as an add-on."

"George Hill? Isn't he the guard that the Pacers traded with the 15th pick, and he also brought an apocalypse? Did the Pacers make a lot of money?"

"You can't say that. Leonard performed well and is still a strong contender for the rookie first team."

"I want to see what kind of genius it is that can make the Spurs pay George Hill and Tianqi to trade for him!"

…

It is very strange that because of Qi Tian's outstanding performance, fans became more and more interested in the deal completed in the summer of 2011. Many people even paid attention to the Spurs games and wanted to see the first player wearing the No. 2 jersey.

The first round show is so sacred.

But they were quickly disappointed, because Leonard is still a player who can only play the role of a defensive engineer.

"Well, playing basketball is too rough. Why is his shooting action so weird? He is useless except for defense."

"Maybe people want him just for his defensive ability, just like Bowen back then."

This sentence is very insidious, and it instantly set off a wave of rhythm.

Bruce Bowen announced his retirement in 2009. He once served as the main small forward for the Spurs, helping the team win championships in 2003, 2005 and 2007.

Technical features?

For a player who has averaged 6.1 points per game in his career, many technical features seem to be in the water.

Of course, a player who has been selected to the defensive lineup 8 times in his career, including 5 consecutive selections to the defensive first team, and whose No. 12 jersey was retired by the Spurs, still has gold content.

It's just that, compared to the barren offense, Nougat's defense is not enough to sum up Bowen himself.

Good footwork and confrontation ability are obviously not enough to make up for average physical fitness.

Therefore, small actions have become standard.

Bowen also added a "black foot" skill in the skill field, and his stepping directly led to injuries to players such as Carter, Francis, Tracy McGrady, Stoudemire and others.

If you think black feet are just stepping feet, you are totally wrong. Bowen’s black feet also have flying feet. Both Sebiak and Brent Barry once bumped into the poor soles of Bowen’s feet while he was taking off during the run-up.

.

Carter chased and beat Bowen because he was kicked three times by Bowen. Ray Allen, a few friends, broke off relations with Bowen because he was injured by his "friend".

Of course, if the time is moved to the present, Bowen’s evaluation will be:

"If your teammate has Bowen, you will love him to death; if your opponent has Bowen, you will hate him to death."

This is also true. Duncan’s evaluation of him is:

"People just can't get used to Bruce's defensive intensity. He can always stay in front of you and he will do his best to interfere with every shot you make. Of course it makes you feel uncomfortable."

He even widened his eyes when asked about Bowen's brutal playing style: "Barbaric? You mean that skinny Bruce Bowen?"

Head coach Popovich’s answer seemed to avoid the important and ignore the important:

"Bowen is one of the best defensive experts. We rely on team defense to play well, but this foundation is based on personal defense. At this point, Bowen did a good job."

Or will Van Gundy speak:

"I don't think Bowen plays very dirty. He is one of those guys who works extremely hard on defense. Just like Malone and Stockton back then, it's hard to tell whether they play dirty or not."

As for whether Malone and Stockton are dirty, fans have their own opinions. Van Gundy used these two people as examples, which is really wonderful.

Because of this sentence, fans of players injured by Bowen immediately remembered their old grudges and rushed directly to the Spurs' official account to start a new wave of confrontation.

The Spurs fans were disgusted because they actually affected a rookie in the team, and began to fight back.

"A rookie can be scolded, but this group of people really has no lower limit!"

They all said unhappily.
