Basketball Legends: Strikers Are King

The goal that could have opened the score failed to completely open the score due to Granger's technical foul.

Chalmers and Granger both hit free throws.

"48-49."

Seeing Granger finishing the free throws mumbling and still not stopping while retreating to defend, Brian Shaw on the sidelines asked with some worry:

"Coach, do you want Danny to go off and calm down?"

The coaching team is an important part of the team. They can not only have close contact with the players, but also observe the game as bystanders during the game and make adjustments at any time according to the progress of the game.

In Brian Shaw's view, it's normal for Granger to have some fluctuations in his mentality. He just needs to change and rest for a while before going back up.

Of course, the main reason is that in the last game, Granger was targeted by James and caused six fouls to leave the field. Brian Shaw felt that it should be treated with caution.

After all, six normal fouls are required before leaving the game, but technical fouls do not require it. Two is enough.

"After all, this is the third quarter of the game."

Vogel doesn't think Granger needs to calm down. He has been in the league for seven years, and no matter how new he is, he has become an old man.

However, the second half of the chief assistant coach's words still struck him as reasonable and prudent.

"Substitute!"

Vogel took advantage of Battier's three-pointer and requested a substitution, but instead of replacing Granger, he replaced George.

"this……"

Brian Shaw was a little puzzled, but didn't ask.

"Be careful, your opponent is not a good opponent."

George thought the coach was worried that his physical strength would be affected if he was guarding Wade, so he replaced him and immediately whispered to Qi Tian.

He still has some regrets. If he can guard Wade a few more times and make the opponent not believe in his touch, then there will be an open space. George believes that the opponent will not dare to take more shots.

"I see."

Qi Tian nodded and walked onto the playing field.

Hill decisively passed the ball to Hibbert under the basket, but Turiaf jumped up behind him and gave the 218-centimeter stupid big man a big shot.

Wade rushed in and grabbed the basketball, immediately turned around and ran away, but when he saw Qi Tian following closely, he changed his mind and stood at the top of the arc waiting for his teammates to arrive.

Hill reached out to interfere from time to time, successfully dispelling Wade's intention to pass to Chalmers, and then followed Chalmers to the bottom corner.

"You still have to do it yourself."

Wade's offensive ambitions were not high today, but his teammates didn't have any good opportunities, so he decided to do it on his own.

But he changed directions several times in succession, and Qi Tian quickly moved sideways to keep up, without giving Wade a chance.

"The boy is pretty good!"

Although Wade knew that his knee injury made him slower than before, he was still surprised by the rookie on the opposite side. He twitched the corner of his mouth and forced a breakthrough.

Qi Tian quickly fought, and Wade suddenly staggered a few times due to the impact.

"Chance!"

Qi Tian was indeed fooled and immediately lowered his center of gravity to grab the ball, but Wade quickly collected the ball, turned around and passed Qi Tian, ​​and forced a jumper.

"clang!"

The basketball bounced out of the hoop, and the Heat fans on the sidelines sighed.

But Turiaf surprised them by grabbing an offensive rebound from Hibbert's head!

"This way!"

Wade quickly retreated and reached for the ball. The basketball was passed to him. He was standing just outside the three-point line in the corner. In front of Qi Tian, ​​he directly shot a long three-pointer.

"clang!"

His touch was indeed not good today, and he missed again in his second shot.

Granger got the rebound, quickly dribbled around and prepared for a fast break, but the Heat returned to defense in time and he gave up the idea.

Both teams are not weak on outside speed. Defensive counterattacks and fast breaks are also the offensive methods used in the regular season. They are also good at defending the opponent's fast breaks.

Just when Granger was about to break through, Battier on the opposite side suddenly struck and interrupted his dribbling!

"It's him again!"

Granger was furious, and immediately turned around and speeded up, preparing to retaliate on the defensive end, but Battier had no intention of giving him this opportunity. He dribbled the ball from the top of the arc until Chalmers came over, and then passed it over.

Then Battier firmly positioned himself in the bottom corner to create space for his teammates.

Seeing Granger unable to vent his anger, Shane smiled secretly in his heart:

Do you understand the value of playing with your brain?

Next, he just needs to tease him a few more times, and Granger will definitely come forward. When the time comes, he can be sent off the court with a technical foul.

"Not quite right."

Vogel knew a lot about Granger. Seeing that Granger's face was ashen, he knew something was wrong and quickly lit George's door.

Hibbert blocked Turiaf's shot and was pushed down by Turiaf while grabbing the rebound. The referee immediately blew the whistle.

Vogel took this opportunity to replace Granger with George.

"George, when you go on the court, you should focus on defending Wade."

George was stunned.

"Then the small forward has to go and defend,"

Can he do it?

George expressed his concern with his eyes.

"It doesn't matter."

Vogel is mentally prepared.

"As long as it can consume the opponent's physical strength, it doesn't matter even if the defensive intensity is reduced."

"I see."

George quickly walked onto the court.

"seven!"

Hill's tactics of chasing Chalmers were initially effective. The opponent who performed well in the first half only scored 1 point through free throws. Of course, the consequence was that Hill was also silent on the offensive end.

But again, Hill believes that his teammates can stand up when he loses his money.

Qi Tian looked down at his position for a moment, and then directly diffracted a three-point shot in front of Wade!

"Whoosh!"

The basketball that passed through the basket refused to be retained by the net and fell down.

"48-52."

“ohhhh!!”

The Pacers seemed to have the momentum to break away from the quagmire of fighting with their opponents and widen the point difference in one fell swoop. The Pacers fans on the sidelines immediately cheered loudly.

George also made achievements on the defensive end. He saw through Battier's intention of passing to Wade and made a decisive move to complete the steal!

"Quick attack!"

Hill and Qi Tian in the high position immediately rushed toward the Heat's half, and Chalmers and James also quickly returned to defense.

Adhering to the principle of dunking but not layups, George overtook Chalmers, rushed to the basket, and was obviously about to dunk.

“I can’t defend myself anymore!”

James made a prompt decision and committed a foul, sending George to the free throw line.

George high-fived his teammates one by one, walked to the free throw line and made two solid free throws.

"48-54."

"Take them away in one wave!"

The Pacers were full of momentum, and when George hit the second free throw, the fans on the sidelines started shouting.

Chalmers broke through and passed the ball to James, who responded with a layup.

George followed suit, throwing away Wade and rushing to the basket. After attracting the defense, he smiled slightly, turned around and passed the ball to Qi Tian in the corner.

Qi Tian jumped up decisively and took a long three-pointer.

"Whoosh!"

Basketball hollow hit.

"48-57."

The score difference came to 9 points.

Bird's eyes lit up on the sidelines.
