Basketball Legends: Strikers Are King

Chapter 266 Missed Opportunity

The game officially started in the fourth quarter, and the Heat did not hesitate to put James and Wade on the court, obviously letting them play the entire last quarter. The other three were Cole, Miller and Haslem.

The playing time of the two of them has exceeded 30 minutes before, and with the last 12 minutes, it is no longer a dream to exceed 40 minutes.

But, so what, as long as the game can be won, Spoelstra can do it without letting the main players rest.

The Pacers still have a substitute lineup led by Collison, Qi Tian and Amandelson, and the outside players are, of course, physical strength monster George and Hill.

Obviously, Vogel was worried about Hansbrough and directly changed to a smaller lineup in an attempt to make them a surprise team.

George also played a lot of playing time today. In addition to playing 12 minutes in the fourth quarter, his playing time must be more than 35 minutes.

Facing Haslem, who was 203 centimeters tall, Amandasen finally stood up and scored an inside layup. After Kerr hit a jumper, he grabbed a defensive rebound.

Qi Tian took the basketball and was about to dribble to break through, but Cole suddenly flashed over and snatched the basketball from his hand!

Norris Cole glanced at Qi Tian proudly, dribbled forward, and handed it to Mike Miller.

Miller caught the ball and directly found Wade, who ducked into the basket and made a layup;

George responded with a jump shot from Miller.

"78-74."

James caught the ball in the high post and was about to attack when George suddenly slipped over from behind and snatched the basketball from his hand.

"seven!"

George attracted the defense and turned to Qi Tian who was following up.

Qi Tian forced a breakthrough, causing Miller to foul and go to the free throw line.

"Why didn't you give this son of a bitch a buckle just now?"

Qi Tian came over to high-five George, but heard his whisper.

"I can't stand the look on your face when I snatched you just now."

"you……"

Only then did Qi Tian realize that George was passing the ball to him to let him dunk to regain his face, and he felt warm in his heart.

"It's not necessary. Two free throws are not bad."

"Can it be the same? A 2+1 can also dampen their spirit!"

George still refused to give up, glared at Cole from outside the three-point line, and walked to the free throw line.

Qi Tian looked at the basket intently, adjusted his rhythm and easily made two free throws.

"78-76."

The Pacers used multiple players to quickly catch up with the score. Although Wade assisted James and succeeded, Collison caused Cole to foul and the basketball staggered into the basket.

2+1!

Collison hit the extra penalty steadily.

"80-79."

The score difference is down to 1 point!

The Heat also replaced Cole with Chalmers.

Collison blinked at Qi Tian, ​​patted him as he passed by, and came to Chalmers who was catching the ball on the baseline.

Qi Tian felt the kindness of his teammates and could only speak harshly.

"I almost cried."

Wade scored another jumper, taking advantage of Amandelson's foul to give the opponent the ball. Vogel replaced Hill with Granger in an attempt to restore the glory of the three forwards, although this glory only appeared in the playoffs.

once.

The two sides exchanged a wave of strikes, and Wade hit another jump shot to help the team widen the point difference.

"84-79."

In the first three minutes of the fourth quarter, Wade had already scored 6 points on 3-of-3 shooting, which immediately attracted the support of Heat fans on the sidelines.

"Dwayne Wade!"

Amandelson caught the ball inside to attract the defense, turned around and handed it to Qi Tian in the high position, who caught the ball and shot a jumper.

"Whoosh!"

Accurate basketball shooting.

"84-81."

The Pacers fans on the sidelines breathed a sigh of relief. There were only 8 minutes and 40 seconds left in the game, and the three-point difference was nothing.

"We still have a chance!"

This is what Pacers fans are thinking at this moment.

"clang!"

James grabbed an offensive rebound over Granger's head and scored a tip-in.

"86-81."

"We have to take action from outside!"

Collison decisively passed the ball to Qi Tian from the outside.

Qi Tian made a long three-point shot, but Wade defended well and jumped up to interfere.

"clang!"

James collected the basketball and passed it to Chalmers to advance with the ball.

Collison caused an offensive foul on the opponent, but was subsequently intercepted by Mike Miller. Chalmers also missed a three-pointer.

"Quick attack!"

Qi Tian turned around to grab the rebound and quickly rushed towards the frontcourt.

George and Granger followed him, and Wade James had turned back to defend.

"Running so fast?!"

Granger was surprised to find that the distance between Qi Tian, ​​who was holding the ball on a fast break, and himself, who was running without the ball, had become wider and wider. He had just passed the half-court, and looking at the empty basket, Qi Tian had already jumped up to the ground.

Basket!

"careful!"

Granger's surprise turned into fright when he saw the figure No. 6 behind Qi Tian.

But it was too late. Qi Tian's layup was directly blocked by James who was chasing him, and he fell to the ground. The basketball was won by Haslem who followed up.

Qi Tian quickly stood up and rushed back to his own half. George also quickly came up and forced the opponent to stop, thus preventing the opponent from entering a fast break.

James broke through with the ball, but he shot and grabbed the offensive rebound, turned and took out the three-point line.

"pause!"

The Heat called a timeout and replaced James with Battier.

It turned out that when James was grabbing a rebound just now, he sprained his foot and signaled to the coach and referee on the sidelines to call a timeout.

"Chance!"

Qi Tian, ​​who had been completely enveloped by the desire to win and lose, saw his opponent's main force coming off the field and immediately knew that the opportunity had come.

After returning to the court, Wade's jump shot was interfered by Qi Tian. Qi Tian returned to the basket to get the basketball and immediately turned around to attack.

"86-81."

Seeing the difference in scores between the two sides, Qi Tian followed his heart and came to the frontcourt and directly shot a chasing three-pointer!

"clang!"

The sound that raised the blood pressure of Pacers fans came from Qi Tian's three-pointer!

Wade picked off the rebound and Amandasson was called for a foul.

"Substitute!"

Vogel immediately replaced West and Hibbert, allowing Amandasson and Qi Tian, ​​who missed three consecutive shots, to rest.

The Heat also replaced Joel Anthony, paired with Haslem, and returned to the normal lineup.

"Horse rider!"

Unwilling to do so, Qi Tian was very dissatisfied with his performance. He took the towel from the assistant coach and threw it heavily to the ground.

"This is the tuition that young people have to pay."

Brian Shaw didn't speak, he just glanced at Qi Tian and then turned to look at the playing field.

Wade assisted Haslem continuously and then scored a jump shot, while the Pacers only scored 2 points from Granger's jump shot.

"92-83."

With only four and a half minutes left in the game, something even more desperate for the Pacers happened. James, who had sprained his ankle, replaced Chalmers and made his appearance again.

The Heat did not give the Pacers another chance. Although George and Granger hit three-pointers one after another, the Heat's score steadily improved. Granger hit three-pointers continuously. With James hitting the last two free throws in the last 13 seconds, the game was decided.

"101-93."

With the perfect performance of James, who scored 40 points, 18 rebounds and 9 assists, and Wade, who scored 30 points, 9 rebounds and 6 assists, the Heat came back from the away game and tied the game 2-2!
