Basketball Legends: Strikers Are King

"pause!"

With a livid face, Popovich called the last timeout and arranged the final offensive tactics for the players.

After a brief pause, the Pacers fans at the scene immediately burst into loud cheers. Although the number of people was small, it filled the entire AT&T Center Arena.

"I bought it!"

“It’s so beautiful!!!”

"seven!!"

After the chaotic cheers, the fans unified their voices:

"MVP!"

"M!V!P!"

Qi Tian waved to the surrounding fans and quickly returned to the bench to wait for the coach to arrange the defense.

After all, there are 0.8 seconds left in the game. He knows a lot about how extreme joy can lead to tragedy, and he cannot take it lightly.

Moreover, compared to the cheers of the fans and the despair of the opponent's fans, the silence of the home court made him more intoxicated.

Away silencer, what an exciting term.

Spurs fans were not the only ones who were confused. Pacers head coach Vogel looked at the five people walking off the field with a complicated look on his face.

Granger didn't care so much and surrounded Qitian with his teammates, happy for him.

"Too strong, too accurate!"

"I knew you could do it!"

"Good boy, you still have such a hidden skill, the three-pointer is pretty accurate!"

Vogel coughed twice, regaining his mood, but also fueling the enthusiasm of the team members.

"Okay, there are 0.8 seconds left in the game and it's not over yet!"

"Yes, yes,"

Granger quickly let go of Qi Tian and said,

"Strengthen your defense and don't be careless."

Then he looked at Vogel.

The coach was too strong. He replaced me and did not let me play. It seemed that he was dissatisfied with me and asked me to think about my shortcomings. At the same time, it also paralyzed the opponent and made the opponent careless.

As expected of a coach!

Granger didn't understand it before, but now, he understands the coach's intention and respects Vogel even more.

Vogel also felt Granger's eyes. He thought Granger was dissatisfied, so he didn't look at each other. Therefore, he didn't realize that Granger had turned away, but he was looking at George, Qi Tian and others.

said:

"The first task is to defend one-on-one, try to delay the opponent's catch and shoot, and also defend the alley-oop inside."

"When encountering a pick-and-roll, you have to be decisive, switch defenses on the outside, and be prepared to switch defenses on the inside."

"David, you guard Duncan."

At the most critical moment, Vogel chose to replace the slow Hibbert, leaving only West and Hansbrough on the court.

0.8 seconds is a very ambiguous time. In theory, there is still the most extreme time for a jump shot, but most teams will alley-oop the shot.

This point is actually related to the Spurs.

After Lao Yu's magical 0.4-second kill, many people thought it was a timeout kill.

However, after carefully watching the video, the referee at the time declared the kill valid.

The referee's black whistle became louder and louder, so much so that the league later conducted a frame-by-frame replay and determined that it took Fisher a total of 0.52 seconds from catching the ball to shooting, which was obviously the last time of more than 0.4 seconds.

Spurs fans are getting increasingly angry, but this does not mean that the result of the game will change, because they have ignored a very important premise, that is:

The start of the timer is manually pressed. There must be a reaction time from seeing the player catching the ball to starting the timer.

According to the most extreme calculation, 0.52 seconds minus 0.4 seconds, the time for manually starting the timer is only about 0.2 seconds slower, which is very close to the limit of human reaction speed.

Is it a bit overwhelming to expect people to go beyond their own limits?

In other words, he can surpass human limits, so why go to the NBA to press the timer?

History cannot be changed. NBA officials quickly revised the rules. When there is less than 0.4 seconds left in the game, a player's catch-and-shoot shot will be sentenced to a timeout. In other words, the officially recognized limit time for a player to take a shot is 0.4 seconds.

bell.

A patch is better than nothing, but still better than nothing.

This is also the reason why when the remaining time in the game was less than 0.4 seconds, all teams and fans knew that the lagging team would inevitably choose an alley-oop.

The timeout ended quickly and both players returned to the court.

The atmosphere at the scene became tense. The audience in the front row watched the scene, and the Spurs fans in the back immediately stared at the big screen above.

If he can counterattack and win, then today's game will not be in vain;

But if the decisive victory fails, then...what else can we do, just wait and see the next game.

"Dudu!"

The referee signaled the start of the game and handed the basketball to Blair on the outside.

The three GDP players immediately started running. Parker took advantage of Duncan's pick-and-roll and quickly rushed towards the outside.

"Oops!"

George Hill quickly chased after him, but Parker turned a corner and rushed towards the basket instead, and indeed received Blair's pass.

"It's an alley-oop!"

West immediately let go of Duncan and came over to defend.

But Parker made a quick throw and was not blocked by his opponent at all.

"Boom!"

The red light symbolizing the end of the game lights up.

"Clang, clang!"

Under the ardent expectations of Spurs fans, the basketball bounced twice and fell out from the other side.

"oops!"

"What a shame!"

After missing the buzzer beater, Spurs fans could only accept the defeat and made sounds of annoyance.

The Pacers fans on the other side immediately cheered and cheered for everyone on the court.

Is there anything more exciting than winning?

If so, it would be a victory that reverses the score and almost kills the opponent!

"seven!"

"seven!"

"Qiqi!!"

Qi Tian was immediately surrounded by his teammates and celebrated the victory. After the game, he also accepted an interview for the first time in a long time.

Granger was put on the bench and did not play in the fourth quarter, so he went to accept questions from reporters. Of course, the team manager had already prepared an answer for him, so he just had to follow the script.

"Why do I trust the coach's arrangements?", "I'm just a player, I don't know the team's decision-making", "I'm not satisfied with today's performance, the most important thing is that I believe in my teammates" and so on.

Others stayed in the locker room to pack their things and prepare for the next game.

"Hey, you guys said, go to a nightclub to celebrate tonight?"

Hibbert has completely separated from the game and proposed to Stephenson and others,

"Bring Qi?!"

"You're overthinking it, he still has to spend time with his girlfriend!"

George packed his things without raising his head.

"Is the progress going pretty fast?"

West had already packed his things and was reading a book. When he heard this, he immediately asked.

Qi Tian couldn't hide anything in his heart. Most of the people in the team knew about his relationship with Amy.

"That is, I heard that they all moved into Qi's home."

Stephenson immediately raised his eyebrows and smiled knowingly.

Hibbert was a little surprised and asked:

"But isn't he going to Houston to play back-to-back away games tomorrow? How can he spend time with his girlfriend?"

"There's a fashion show in Houston tomorrow, didn't you know?"

After George finished speaking, he looked at Hibbert and others and smiled evilly.
