Basketball Legends: Strikers Are King

Although the journey of every NBA player is inspiring, Anthony Parker is a very unique one.

European basketball experience, NBA draft and becoming an NBA player, there are many players with these three labels in their resumes. If you give these three labels a number, then the career of most European players will be in the order of 1→2→3, that is, in

He played in Europe, was scouted by the NBA, and was drafted into the NBA.

And Anthony Parker's resume is 2→3→1. Do you think that European basketball will be the end? After Parker's 1, there is a second 3.

After he was drafted in 1997, he went through two rookie seasons plagued by injuries. His playing time was limited and his performance was naturally not good.

After being traded to the Magic, Parker began to play for the Development League, but his performance became worse and worse, so he left the NBA and went to play in the European League.

In the following six seasons, Parker won 5 Israeli league championships, 4 Israeli Cup championships, 3 UEFA Champions League championships, was elected UEFA Champions League semi-final MVP once, and was elected UEFA Champions League MVP once.

In 2006, Parker relied on his brilliant resume to successfully return to the NBA and join the Raptors.

Oh, by the way, Anthony Parker spent two rookie seasons troubled by injuries with the 76ers. This team is a bit strange.

All the ups and downs have gone away, and now Anthony Walker is a 36-year-old veteran.

The game continues.

Irving handed the ball to Varejao, then ran back to get rid of the defender Collison, received the pass, and made a jumper and three-pointer directly in front of Hibbert.

A somewhat clumsy Hibbert knocked Irving to the ground.

"Dudu!"

Although the basketball missed, the referee sounded the whistle.

"Shooting foul, three free throws!"

Irving was pulled up by his teammates and shouted excitedly.

"clang!"

Irving's first free throw hit the rim and fell out.

What's even more shocking is that he didn't make the second free throw.

"Hiss~"

Irving sensed something was wrong, took a few more deep breaths, adjusted his rhythm, and took the free throw.

"Whoosh!"

Only made one of three free throws.

"55-57."

He clearly had a chance to tie, but watched helplessly as he missed it. This sense of disparity made Irving extremely angry.

"Be steady."

Collison and Hibbert came to the baseline to catch the ball. Granger and Qi Tian passed by and whispered to him.

Qi Tian, ​​who plays as a defender, must participate in serving from the backcourt. Granger is a little worried, which is normal.

After entering the league, what Qi Tian is satisfied with the Pacers is that they have a team boss Granger who can always correct their mentality and remind you at any time. Others are also working hard under the leadership of Granger.

Envoy everywhere.

Qi Tian nodded and slowly moved back, always ready to catch the ball.

The Cavaliers really planned to steal the ball. Irving followed Collison closely, while Parker stood between Hibbert and Qi Tian on the baseline.

Seeing that Hibbert had no chance to serve, Qi Tian quickly ran back to prepare to catch the ball.

Fortunately, Collison reacted quickly and signaled to Hibbert, who then left some room to throw the ball far away.

Collison quickly took a few steps, got the basketball, and prepared to organize an attack.

Qi Tian and Granger lined up outside the 45° three-point line on the left and right sides, waiting for Hibbert to arrive.

West and Qi Tian looked at each other under the basket, and then took a few steps up when Hibbert reached the free throw line.

Qi Tian quickly walked over and blocked Jamison, who was facing West.

"clever!"

Seeing Qi Tian, ​​West immediately understood what he was thinking and nodded in his mind, but ran towards the outside without any slowness.

Jamison was blocked for a moment, and because Parker wanted to follow Qi Tian all the time, he let West go outside the three-point line.

"Chance!"

Collison immediately broke through and passed the ball to West, who was 45° on the left.

West jumped slightly after receiving the ball and shot a three-pointer.

"clang!"

The basketball didn't hit the ball as he wanted, but bounced out directly.

"Nitrogen Tomb!"

Seeing that he actually missed the open three-pointer, West was also a little angry. After seeing Jamison get into position and give up the rebound to Irving, he became even more annoyed.

"Defend!"

Qi Tian ignored him, but directly found his opponent and quickly retreated to defend.

"Chance!"

Irving waited for Jamison to come over, quickly broke through the pick-and-roll, and faced West under the basket to shoot a jump shot.

"Do you think I don't exist?"

Although Collison was blocked by Jamison, he quickly flashed over and interfered with Irving's shot from behind.

"clang!"

The basketball bounced off the backboard and was collected by Qi Tian.

"attack!"

Seeing that the Cavaliers had returned to defense, Qi Tian turned around and handed the ball to Collison, guarding the point guard for half the court before finding his position and settling in the bottom corner.

"Seven has done well in these rounds."

Vogel felt relieved when he saw that the team's offensive and defensive ends did not collapse after George was replaced.

"Yeah, even though he didn't score, as a support player, he's still pretty good."

Brian Shaw also said:

"At least he knows what he has to do on the court."

Vogel also nodded and glanced at George without trace.

Although George is physically stronger than Qi Tian, ​​subconsciously he still likes to play offensively with the ball.

Although George is willing to do some blue-collar work when Granger is on the court, when Granger is not on the court, George is like a wild horse running wild, often holding the ball and playing alone.

This troubled Vogel a little.

Granger used Qitian's pick-and-roll to find his opponent Anthony Parker, and then attacked in singles with the ball.

Although Parker, who is 198 centimeters tall and weighs 97.5kg, is at a disadvantage in terms of size, he is not afraid at all. He tried his best to defend and actually interfered with Granger's shot.

"clang!"

The Pacers missed the opportunity to open the score. Casspi turned around and blocked Qi Tian and took off the rebound.

"Kairi!"

Casspi turned his head and found Irving and passed the ball to the shooter.

But Irving wasn't paying attention. Collison quickly reached out and snatched the basketball from his opponent's hand!

"pretty!"

Qi Tian instinctively wanted to cheer for Collison, but then he realized that he was on the court and immediately changed direction and ran towards the Cavaliers' half court.

"Don't run!"

Granger did not let Qi Tian fall to the bottom corner, but used his pick-and-roll to run away from Casspi and reach outside the three-point line.

Collison immediately passed the ball, and Granger received the ball and first feinted a shot, knocking Cassby away. Then he adjusted his rhythm and shot a three-point jumper.

"Whoosh!"

Basketball hollow hit.

"55-60."

The Pacers once again took a 5-point lead.
