Basketball Legends: Strikers Are King

Qitian naturally couldn't hear what the audience said, he just focused on watching the court.

"Dudududu!"

After the referee announced that the game had officially started, he threw the basketball in his hand into the air, and the two centers jumped up immediately.

Hibbert has always relied on his height to bully others, but when he met the 216-centimeter Tyson Chandler, he was immediately deflated, and the basketball was shot into the Knicks' half by his opponent.

Jeremy Lin advanced with the ball, and other teammates immediately found their positions.

Chandler was about to get stuck and reached for the ball, but was squeezed out of the basket by Hibbert little by little.

Vogel nodded with satisfaction.

In order to target the opponent's inside, he gave Hibbert an order early not to let Chandler squeeze into the basket.

As a defensive center, Chandler has almost no offensive ability except for one move inside to take advantage of the situation. He can be regarded as a weakened version of Howard.

Chandler has very strong athletic ability, but he has the same weakness as Howard, which is that his lower body strength is not strong enough, or in other words, not as strong as today's traditional centers.

Yao Ming was not confident about entering the NBA, but in the training camp, he defeated Chandler and later expressed confidence:

If Chandler can get in, then so can I.

This is indeed the case, beating the second overall pick in 2001, Yao Ming became the top pick in 2002.

"Give me!"

Anthony relied on his own strength to firmly hold Granger behind him, and then waved to Jeremy Lin for the ball.

Jeremy Lin did not pass the ball immediately, but broke through and handed the ball to Fields in the corner.

Fields' three-point jumper was successfully interfered by George.

"clang!"

The basketball jumped out of the frame, was taken down by West, and turned around to give to his teammates.

"This Asian guy!"

The one-on-one drama that Anthony had prepared long ago did not happen, and he immediately took a deep look at Jeremy Lin.

The Knicks were well prepared for the Pacers' breakthrough attack, which was dominated by the interior. Chandler and Stoudemire successfully defended against the opponent's offense, but Fields once again struck from the outside.

Anthony's anger was quickly vented. Fields did not intend to take three consecutive three-pointers at the beginning, but directly passed it to Anthony in the high post.

Anthony determined Granger's position, broke through and turned around, then stepped back and shot a jumper.

"Whoosh!"

The smooth movements and the clear sound of the basketball passing through the net immediately caused the fans on the sidelines to cheer loudly.

Collison broke through the pick-and-roll and passed to Hibbert under the basket.

Hibbert was blocked by Chandler just now. This time he planned to regain the court and hit his opponent when he caught the ball.

"Shoot, damn!"

Vogel cursed under his breath.

Why does Hibbert have the confidence to single out Chandler? He is a blue-collar center with only a little bit more offensive skills than Chandler. Why should he post up his opponent?

Chandler stood firm, waited for Hibbert's shot, and immediately jumped up to block the shot.

The basketball was touched by one of Chandler's fingers and immediately changed direction.

Anthony got the rebound and turned around and handed it to Fields.

"Defend!"

Collison and George on the outside quickly returned to defense.

Although George returned to defense, most of his attention was on Jeremy Lin, who was walking like the wind. He was very wary of Lin Xuanfeng's sudden rise.

Fields saw the opportunity and forced a layup, causing George to foul.

"yes!!"

On the sidelines, a fan wearing the Knicks' blue and orange colors immediately cheered the team loudly.

He is short, wearing black-rimmed glasses and a beard. He is twisting and celebrating in front of his seat. He is the famous director and Knicks die-hard Spike Lee.

Sparkle Lee started watching Knicks games when he was 8 years old and witnessed the Reid and Bernard King eras. Basketball fans' impression of him will probably stay with him directing the basketball movie "One Up" starring Ray Allen.

.

He is also the director of the American remake of the movie "Oldboy" of the same name.

"I only know that Lin Kuangsan is crazy, but I don't know that Lin Kuangsan's.asxs. is at my house, right?"

Fields, whose couch was occupied by Jeremy Lin, glanced at George proudly and walked to the free throw line.

"Whoosh!"

The first free throw was accurately hit.

"0-3."

"clang!"

But his second free throw missed, and Granger rushed in to get it.

"Defend!"

Spike Lee shouted at the Knicks players to get back on defense, and then shouted at Granger,

"Mistake! Mistake! Mistake!"

"Woo!!!"

Granger ignored his boos, dribbled the ball across half court, and passed it to Hibbert who followed up.

Hibbert forced a dunk to help the Pacers open their account.

"Huh, you're not that good either?!"

Hibbert glanced at Chandler and walked back proudly.

"court death!"

Chandler's face darkened, ready to teach this ignorant young man a lesson.

The defensive tactics Vogel deployed for the Knicks really worked, with Chandler and Anthony taking shots one after another.

But the basket where Chandler was sitting also closed the door to the Pacers. Hibbert missed consecutive shots. Even after Granger grabbed the offensive rebound and tip-in, Chandler blocked the shot.

Jeremy Lin found Chandler under the basket, assisted his teammates to score, and then received a pass and scored a jumper, helping the Knicks take the lead in one fell swoop.

"4-9."

Halfway through the first quarter, the Knicks relied on a smoother offense to successfully open up the score.

The Pacers' offense gradually hit the bottom, with Hibbert Granger missing one after another, and the Knicks scoring consecutively under the leadership of Jeremy Lin.

"4-15."

Fields once again made one of two free throws to help the team complete a double-digit lead.

Vogel looked at Granger, who had already committed two fouls, and could only apply for a substitution, replacing West and Granger with Hansbrough and Qi Tian.

After Hibbert's attack under the basket was interfered by Chandler twice, he replaced Hibbert again.

The Knicks also gradually came on the bench, but their offense did not slow down at all. The three-point king Novak hit a three-pointer when he came on, and the point difference came to 13 points.

Fortunately, the Pacers' substitutes gradually stabilized the score. Qi Tian and Hill hit three-pointers, narrowing the point difference to 10 points before the end of the first quarter.

"14-24."

The data of the first quarter was quickly passed to Vogel, making him look solemn.

Although Chandler made 3 of 4 shots in the first quarter and only scored 6 points, under his defense, Hibbert made only 1 of 8 shots and only scored 2 points. Granger even made 0 of 3 shots and scored 2 points.

Hanging eggs.

"It's really hard to fight."

Vogel looked at Anthony, who also scored 6 points, and shook his head helplessly.

The pre-game plan to have Granger, West, Anthony and Stoudemire play against each other fell through early on.

What makes Pacers fans even more desperate is that the Pacers seemed to have no comeback point to rely on today, and the entire team performed very poorly...
