Basketball Legends: Strikers Are King
Chapter 269 Tough Defense
Vogel certainly knows why the team was able to take the lead in the first four games.
That's because the Heat will choose to let people other than James take the lead at the beginning to develop their touch. Outside of the giants, only Chalmers has an outbreak. Of course, he will be defeated by the overall stronger Pacers.
Hit with pressure.
Even though others were fighting like this, the Heat relied on the strength of James and Wei to steadily score in the subsequent games and tie the score.
But now, I don’t know if the Heat have adapted to the Pacers’ defense or if luck has arrived. They started with a very high shooting percentage, especially Battier, who made three of three three-pointers and already scored 9 points!
"You have to hold the others down!"
Vogel didn't care about exposing his tactics and shouted directly to the players on the court:
"Strengthen perimeter defense!"
"Don't give them a chance to make a move!"
When the first quarter of the game entered rotation time, Wade was replaced by Miller. Heat fans welcomed Wade to take a rest.
“Never had such a great start!”
"There has to be a response!"
Now, Granger also knows that whether the team can win or not depends entirely on him, so he reaches out for the ball directly.
He faced Shane Battier and threw the basketball.
"Whoosh!"
The basketball is hollow and this is his second three-pointer!
Unfortunately, James then broke through for a layup and scored the sixth point of the quarter.
"16-23."
"Substitute!"
With just over 2 minutes left in the first quarter, the Pacers chose to substitute, with Collison and Qi Tian taking the stage. The Heat only replaced Chalmers with Cole.
In the following round, Vogel replaced Hibbert and West, who shot 0-for-5 from the field, and the Heat replaced Battier with James Jones.
"Be firm!"
Granger was also worried that Qi Tian would be affected by the criticism from the previous game, so when he saw him coming up, he encouraged him.
"clear!"
Qi Tian nodded and looked at his opponent, Mike Miller.
Cole broke through the basket and was blocked by Hibbert. Fortunately, he grabbed the basketball and handed it to Battier on the outside.
The Pacers naturally implemented the coach's words, and Granger defended hard and interfered with the opponent.
"clang!"
Hibbert collected the rebound steadily.
But the Pacers failed to catch up with the score, and the two sides only exchanged a few strikes.
"clang!"
James hit a jumper and Qi Tian protected the rebound and handed it to his teammates.
"seven!"
The Pacers passed the ball many times, and Collison handed the basketball to Qi Tian. Qi Tian faced Mike Miller's defense and directly caught the ball and shot a jumper.
"Whoosh!"
Basketball hollow hit.
"18-23."
"nice shot!"
Seeing that Qi Tian was not affected and took decisive and direct shots, of course mainly for scoring goals, everyone on the bench immediately waved towels to cheer him on.
"It seems he is recovering well."
Chief assistant Brian Xiao nodded slightly.
Didn't Hegel say, "The only lesson that mankind has learned from history is that mankind has never learned a lesson from history."
As someone who has experienced it, Brian Shaw clearly knows that this kind of psychological pressure must be resolved by the parties themselves. Qitian can't think about it himself, and it's useless no matter how much he talks.
"After such an experience, Qi's heart will become stronger and her future will be brighter."
The surprise received by Brian Shaw was not over yet. Collison stole the ball from James and found Qi Tian during the fast break. Qi Tian unexpectedly did not choose a layup, but made a pull-up jump shot in front of Miller.
Two points for one chase.
"Whoosh!"
The basketball hits again.
"20-23."
"nice shot!"
"Well done!"
The fans who came to the away game to support the Pacers immediately cheered and cheered him on.
James controlled the ball at the top of the arc, waited for the seconds to count, and then shot a long three-pointer.
"Whoosh!"
"20-26."
With 4 of 5 three-pointers in the first quarter, the Heat entered the second quarter with a 6-point advantage.
In the second quarter of the game, the Heat directly replaced James Wade.
The Pacers still let their main players rest, with Collison, Duntay Jones, Qi Tian, Hansbrough and Amandasson coming on the court.
"Listen, buy time for your teammates, play steadily, and defend well before attacking."
Vogel gave them instructions, but he was already prepared in his heart. As long as they were not beaten, they would have a well-rested main lineup to rotate.
The Heat naturally wanted to use this time to expand their advantage. After Qi Tian missed a jumper, James controlled the ball at the top of the arc and prepared to fight his opponent in singles.
Qi Tian let out a long breath, lowered his center of gravity slightly, and stood in front of his opponent.
Defending James will never be a matter of one person. Hansbrough and Amandasson also paid a little attention when they were stuck with their opponents, ready to help Qi Tian with defense at any time.
"Boy, you have to be prepared to defend me!"
James dribbled the ball slowly, found the moment when Qi Tian was distracted, and shot a three-pointer directly towards him!
"clang!"
"ohhhhh...uh!?"
The fans who were originally ready to cheer for James' three-pointer were choked by fate, and their voices suddenly stopped.
Qi Tian couldn't care less about this. He took Hansbrough's pass and quickly rushed towards the frontcourt.
"Be careful!"
Others quickly followed up and when they saw the figure behind Qi Tian, they quickly called out a warning.
Naturally, Qi Tian didn't need to be reminded by them. The last time he was blocked by James with his iconic pursuit, he made up his mind and would not be humiliated by his opponent again. He found the follow-up Amandasson and passed the ball to his teammates.
.
Amandasson made an easy layup.
"22-26."
Before the Pacers fans had time to rejoice, Wade drove to the basket and caused Amandelson to foul.
"Dang-dang-dang, swish!"
The basketball spun around and fell in again.
2+1!
Wade adjusted his rhythm and steadily hit the extra penalty.
"22-29."
"Dwayne~~Wade!!"
Heat fans immediately cheered for their team spirit.
The Pacers fans on the other side were a little quiet.
Hansbrough took the ball in the high post and was debating whether to challenge James in front of him when he heard the voice of his teammates next to him.
"This way!"
Qi Tian received a pass from Hansbrough and took a long three-pointer!
"Whoosh!"
Basketball hollow hit!
"25-29."
The Pacers fans immediately came to their senses, waving their props wildly and cheering for the team. Some fanatics even took off their jerseys and cheered wildly.
They are not afraid of falling behind, they are just worried that the team cannot respond and will be taken away by their opponents.
"The boy is pretty good."
Wade secretly praised it in his heart, but he would not hold back at all. With the help of the pick-and-roll, he quickly got rid of Dengta Jones' defense and rushed straight to the basket.
"It's just a foul!"
Hansbrough immediately let go of James, came up to cover, and slapped Wade to the ground.
"Dudu!"
The referee blows the whistle immediately.
The Heat team doctor saw clearly and quickly came to the court to surround Wade on the ground.
It turned out that Wade's eyebrow bone was broken by Hansbrough's elbow, and the court was stained with blood.
"First-degree flagrant foul!"
The referee gave the penalty without hesitation.
