Basketball Legends: Strikers Are King

The playing time that George longed for came in the last 4 minutes of the second quarter. When Qi Tian missed a jump shot and fixed his single-quarter data at 1 of 4 shots and scored 2 points, Vogel exhausted his physical strength a bit and ended up with 2 points.

As for Qi Tian, ​​who had affected the shooting accuracy, he replaced it.

On the other side, the Heat also replaced Wade, who led the team for 8 minutes in the previous round, to rest.

"Huh~~!"

Qi Tian took a few deep breaths, turned his head and glanced at the Heat's bench, and took the towel that was handed to him.

"Your progress is really beyond my expectation."

Qi Tian grinned after listening to assistant coach Brian Xiao's words.

"Can this be considered progress?"

Qi Tian scratched his head and said,

"If I remember correctly, Deng Tai Jones and I each received two fouls, right?"

Two fouls in a single quarter would be a mistake that would definitely lead to a starter being replaced, but it seems so unusual for a substitute player.

The fouls committed by Qi Tian and Deng Tai Jones were naturally handed over to Wade.

The 30-year-old Wade showed his superstar style. He made 2 of 6 shots in a single quarter and scored 11 points on 7 of 8 free throws, leading the team to cling to the score.

"This cannot be calculated like this."

Brian Shaw had long been accustomed to Qi Tian's dissatisfaction with him, so he reminded him,

"Although your shooting percentage is a bit worse, you are the only one in our team who sent two steals and forced Wade and Miller to make mistakes. These are contributions that cannot be seen in the basic data."

"Maybe."

Qi Tian wiped his sweat and looked straight at the court.

The Pacers stabilized the situation and even opened the point difference to 9 points with West's free throws, but Bosh scored 2+1 and successfully narrowed the point difference.

In the last minute, the two teams sent two waves of iron to each other, ending the competition in the first half of the game.

"48-42."

The Pacers returned to the locker room with an advantage, and the fans who came to support them on the sidelines were immediately excited.

Although there are still 24 minutes left before the end of the game, the previous 24 minutes of the game can also explain something.

"It seems that the gap between us and the Heat is not as big as imagined?!"

Of the Heat's 42 points, 32 were scored by James Wade and Bosh's Big Three, but the Pacers withstood the pressure. Hibbert and West both scored in double digits with extremely high shooting percentages. The team even

Still leading, how can this not excite the fans?

But Vogel in the locker room was not as optimistic as the fans.

Yes, Hibbert and West performed extremely well inside, and even George Hill scored 7 points in the first half, but he was still very worried.

Because the other two players in the starting lineup, Granger and George, made 0 of 3 shots and 0 of 1 shots in the first half.

Whether they focus on defense or have poor touch, this is ultimately a hidden danger.

Even if it were someone else, Vogel would definitely believe that they could adjust in the second half, but for Granger and George, who have both the attributes of gods and ghosts, Vogel couldn't say that.

"We must be prepared for them to continue to be sluggish in the second half."

Vogel doesn't plan to pin his hopes on one person, oh no, two people.

"Then we have to strengthen our inside attack."

Vogel naturally chose his own advantage.

At the beginning of the second half, Vogel was surprised to find that the Heat's insiders were Haslem and backup center Turiaf, and Bosh was not on the stage.

What's going on?

Vogel suddenly remembered the scene of Bosh being replaced after dunking at the end of the first half. Vogel thought he had sprained his ankle or something like that.

Heat coach Spoelstra's face looked a little livid.

After Bosh dunked, he followed the team doctor back to the locker room for a simple examination. The experienced team doctor explained his judgment to Spoelstra. It was most likely an abdominal muscle strain.

An MRI examination will be performed later. There is a possibility of misdiagnosis by the team doctor, but the possibility of misdiagnosis is low.

If it is really an abdominal muscle strain, this means that although Bosh will not be reimbursed for the season, there is a high probability that he will miss the series with the Pacers.

Only two of the Big Three are left, which makes the Heat coach feel even more solemn.

"This is an opportunity!"

Again, everyone is willing to pray for a player's injury, but no one can care about winning or losing the game.

Vogel made a gesture to the players, asking them to resolutely implement the strategy of focusing on attacking the basket.

After the two teams traded blows, the Heat took the lead with James' assists and Wade's jump shots.

"48-46."

Fortunately, George and Hibbert broke into the paint and caused fouls, and made free throws to stabilize the situation.

But then James and Wade scored 6 points in a row, leading the team to even the point difference just 3 minutes after the third quarter.

"52-52."

"hot!"

"HOT!!"

Heat fans on the sidelines have already shouted the team's playoff support slogans to cheer for the team.

This is the difference between home and away games. At the critical moment when the score is stalemate, the 20,000 home fans will tell the home team players that they will be with the home team through cheers and cheers;

The visiting team will face the hostility of the home fans, with backup support and fighting alone, the pressure will naturally be different.

At this critical moment, George Hill suddenly committed an offensive foul and gave the ball away.

"Apply for substitution!"

The excitement of the opponent's uneven lineup has not yet passed, and Vogel has to accept the bitter consequences of someone from his own side having to be substituted.

George Hill, who mainly controlled the ball in the first half, had already committed 3 fouls, and shortly after the start of the second half, he had already fouled again. In other words, with this foul, George Hill had already committed 5 fouls!

At this time, there are still 8 and a half minutes before the end of the third quarter!

"I'm so *uc* stupid!"

Hill didn't expect that he would make a low-level mistake when he had a good game in hand, and he couldn't help but cursed himself when he came off the field.

"It doesn't matter, we still have an advantage."

Everyone on the bench comforted him and pinned their hopes on Collison.

George Hill performed extremely well in the second half of the regular season, but Collison is their starting point guard after all, so there is no reason why the tacit understanding with his teammates disappeared after a few games.

Collison also knew that the schedule was difficult and calmly walked onto the court.

Heat fans on the other side were overjoyed.

Nothing is more heartbreaking than when you suddenly lose a general, but the best way to temporarily relieve this heartache is to see that one of your opponent's starters is also troubled by foul trouble.

The two teams were in close combat, but Collison's appearance seemed to activate George and Granger. They both hit consecutive three-pointers, and Collison himself also scored 2+1, widening the point difference in one fell swoop.

But James and Wade each scored 10 points in a single quarter, helping the team equalize the score at the last moment.

"70-70."
