Basketball Legends: Strikers Are King

The Pacers did not give up and immediately invested in defense on Parker and Leonard, but Duncan stepped up and scored four points in a row to help the Spurs withstand the Pacers' offensive.

Ginobili came on the scene, and the Spurs' offensive seal was successfully released. Ginobili and Bonner scored consecutively, once again opening up the gap narrowed by Granger and George.

"71-84."

Vogel looked at the timer and saw that there were only 3 minutes left in the third quarter, so he reluctantly requested a substitution.

Substituting the main force, although there is a risk of being taken away by the opponent;

But if the main force is not changed, once the main force's physical strength is affected in the fourth quarter, the chance of winning will not be great.

George Hill, Qi Tian and Hansbrough are ready to appear;

On the other side, the Spurs also replaced Duncan and Parker, leaving only Ginobili on the court.

"Come on."

George and Qi Tian, ​​who came up to replace themselves, high-fived and whispered,

"Still as planned."

Qi Tian nodded and looked at Ginobili opposite.

After they determined that Ginobili's physical strength was a weakness that could be exploited, they decided to take advantage of the opportunity to wear down their opponents.

But I didn't expect that the Spurs were about to overwhelm the Pacers just by relying on other people's offensive. The prepared tricks were about to go bankrupt before they could be used.

"There is still a chance."

Qi Tian looked at the 13-point difference and encouraged himself.

"Hey, is that Asian guy here?"

Ginobili looked at Qi Tian on the stage and said to Leonard next to him.

As one of the few Europeans in the NBA, Ginobili is very concerned about other ethnic groups who are also a minority in the league, so he knows about the rise of Qi Tian.

"who?"

Leonard looked at Collison, who was attacking with the ball, expressionlessly, and then said.

"Huh? You don't know?"

Ginobili was about to give Leonard a lesson, but when he saw his face and knew that he was just talking casually, he suddenly lost interest.

"It's so boring."

Ginobili secretly glanced at Duncan on the bench, feeling a little annoyed.

Why does facial paralysis come to torture me again?

Duncan noticed Ginobili's eyes, but was not curious and quietly wiped his sweat and drank an energy drink to replenish his energy.

He is not a person who is always startled, and his facial expressions are usually poor. In addition, he had the outrageous experience of being ejected for laughing out loud before, so he is even more cautious in his words and deeds on the bench.

Hibbert immediately showed his prowess after Duncan came off the court, causing Split to foul and making two free throws.

But Ginobili broke through and passed the ball again, allowing Split to retaliate with a layup.

"73-86."

After Ginobili high-fived his teammates, he quickly retreated and prepared to defend. He glanced at Qi Tian in surprise.

Generally speaking, when defenders see the opponent passing the ball, they will naturally relax a little and focus on other opponents.

But Qi Tian didn't do that just now. Instead, after Ginobili passed the ball, he followed his opponent closely and challenged him from time to time.

"Could it be..."

Ginobili was used to seeing wind and waves, and he immediately had a guess in his mind.

After switching from the main force to the substitute, the defensive intensity dropped significantly. George Hill scored an easy jump shot, and outside Gary Neal responded in kind.

Ginobili, who returned to his own half again, also made his own judgment:

"The opponent really wants to consume his energy!"

He suddenly felt dumbfounded.

You are more than ten points behind. You don't think about how to beat our main force, but you try to use up my energy. I am a substitute, okay?

"Do you want to rely on substitutes to chase points?"

Ginobili plans to show his opponents what 20-minute Jordan means.

"Pick and roll!"

George Hill called a pick-and-roll and then quickly broke through.

Hibbert immediately went down. Split was about to follow, but was blocked by Qi Tian at an insidious angle.

"Oops!"

Ginobili looked at Hibbert as if he was in a deserted situation, and quickly went up to defend.

But the height difference made it difficult for him to block his opponent's layup. As the basketball entered the basket, he heard the referee's whistle.

"Shooting foul, one extra penalty!"

Hibbert scored 2+1!

He steadily hit the extra penalty, then accepted the cheers of the fans with peace of mind and walked back to his own half.

"What a nasty boy."

Being manipulated by Qi Tian, ​​Ginobili had a bad impression of Qi Tian, ​​so he asked his teammates to pull away and started playing singles against his opponent.

Qi Tian quickly focused on defense, but the strength and experience of the two sides were not at the same level. He was quickly pushed away by Ginobili, and he could only watch his opponent break through the basket and chase after him hard behind him.

Ginobili broke through the basket and immediately used his snake-shaped breakthrough when facing Hibbert, shaking away his opponent.

But he underestimated Hibbert's height and wingspan. Even though he was shaken away by Ginobili, Hibbert still relied on his long hands to cut off the path between the basketball and the basket, and successfully blocked the shot!

"rebound!"

Spurs fans got a response, and Split successfully grabbed the offensive rebound.

"pretty!"

Split was about to pass the ball, but Hansbrough suddenly stretched out his hand and stole the opponent!

Hansbrough did not hesitate and passed the ball directly to Qi Tian who ran to the midfield line.

"Quick attack!"

Gary Neal saw his opponent's fast attack and quickly pursued him.

Qi Tian turned to look at Gary Neal behind him. As soon as he took two steps to the free throw line, he jumped high and prepared for a layup.

At this moment, a figure came from behind Qi Tian, ​​jumped up and used his long arms to slam the basketball on the backboard. It was Leonard!

"What?"

Qi Tian only felt a force coming from behind and fell to the ground listening to the cheers of the fans at the scene.

George Hill, who followed up, jumped up quickly and got the rebound. Just as he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, the basketball in his hand was snatched away by Ginobili who was following him!

The defensive formation disrupted by the fast break immediately broke down. The Spurs easily passed the ball and Split succeeded in a layup.

In the last minute, the two sides exchanged blows. The Pacers entered the fourth quarter with a score of 78-90 and a 12-point disadvantage.

"Oh ho ho!!!"

"Go!"

"It was so smooth!"

Spurs fans took advantage of the break to cheer for the home team.

Any Spurs fan will be very pessimistic after entering the playoffs last year as the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference, only to be beaten by the Grizzlies.

After all, GDP has entered the twilight of his career. If anyone said that the Spurs in 2012 would be stronger than the Spurs that ranked first in the Western Conference in 2011, they would be beaten up by Spurs fans as if they were cheating.

But as the saying goes, life is impermanent, and the big intestine wraps around the small intestine.

After the second half of 2011, fans were surprised to find that the team's performance was not inferior to last year. More attentive fans noticed Leonard's potential, and the long-awaited future was available without the experience of failure!

After entering 2012, Spurs fans dare to say that the Spurs in 2012 are better than the Spurs last year!

The Spurs do have this strength. After all, in the second half of the season, the Spurs had an 11-game winning streak and a 10-game winning streak. They ended the 2011-12 season with an astonishing record of 21 wins and 2 losses, successfully taking the lead.

He lost the Thunder and returned to the No. 1 position in the Western Conference.
