Basketball Legends: Strikers Are King

"Uh-huh."

"Uh-huh."

Wade made two solid free throws.

"69-85."

In the last eight minutes of the game, the Heat still led by 16 points.

Heat fans on the sidelines breathed a sigh of relief.

"What, I was so nervous, I thought, ah no, the Pacers thought they could fight back?"

"Yes, yes, not to mention Granger is gone, even if Granger is present, can he still lead the team to close the nearly 20-point difference?"

"If he can do it, he won't have to pretend to be injured and run off the field."

"Fake injury?"

"Well, didn't you see that he came out before the fourth quarter started? Isn't it obvious that he came here because he thought he had lost the game?"

…

The words that might cause a second incident at the Palace of Auburn Hills were not heard by George because he felt enough pressure now after James came on the stage.

After Bosh was absent due to injury, James Wade was the only two remaining strengths of the Heat. Playing at the same time meant that the opponent's cards were exhausted.

This sounds helpless, but because these two people are too incomprehensible, the Pacers, whose lineup is obviously better, are now at a disadvantage.

If Danny Granger was still here, George would naturally have the confidence to fight his opponent;

If the Pacers are in the lead, then George is confident that he can withstand the opponent's attack and maintain the lead.

But now that Granger is away, the team is still lagging behind.

"Just do it!"

When George was hesitating, he heard Qi Tian whisper next to him,

"Who is afraid of whom!"

"Yes, who is afraid of whom!"

Playing against top players is the goal of all rookies entering the league. However, how do you know if their fame and strength can match their reputation?

The two Heat players obviously don't need to doubt it.

When Amandelson attacked, Wade grabbed the rebound and handed it to James. James broke through easily and passed it back to Haslem who followed up, assisting his teammate to score.

"69-87."

James looked at ease, as if he were playing in a training game. George and Hansbrough's defense under the basket were nothing in his eyes.

Only then did Pacers fans realize how much Granger had contributed on the defensive end.

"Give me!"

Collison was about to pass to the basket when he heard George's voice and decisively chose to pass the ball.

He prefers to assist his teammates compared to personal offense, which is why Vogel prefers Hill.

George didn't hesitate and took a long shot after receiving the ball.

"clang!"

The basketball hit the edge of the basket hard and hit the hearts of Pacers fans as it bounced back.

"It's over!"

They wailed in their hearts.

But after the basketball bounced, it fell vertically again. This time there was no accident, and the basketball passed through the center of the net.

"Whoosh!"

"72-87."

"ohhh!"

Listening to the shouts of the Pacers fans around him, George retreated expressionlessly, preparing to defend, but he also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"luck!"

Whether a basketball can go in depends on the player's feel and training, but whether a ball that bounces off the rim can go in depends entirely on God's will.

"It's interesting."

Looking at the Pacers who were still fighting back, Wade smiled.

The difference in strength and score does not lie.

"I'll do it!"

Wade came to the outside to ask for the ball, and after receiving the ball, he was ready to play singles to the sky.

Qi Tian knew that he could not guard against his opponent, so he was already prepared to be shaken away. When he saw Wade breaking through, he quickly chased after him from behind.

Amandasson let go of Joel Anthony and stepped forward to cover.

Wade was not afraid at all and forcefully jumped up for a layup.

"Now!"

Qi Tian, ​​who was following closely behind, suddenly jumped up and seized the opportunity to hit Wade from behind!

"Good hat!"

There was a flurry of demons on the Pacers bench.

Amandasen got the basketball and handed it to his teammates decisively.

Collison continued to assist Hansbrough who followed up, and Hansbrough dunked successfully.

"74-87."

"There's no real chance, is there?"

Vogel, who was always taking chances, his eyes lit up and he looked at the bench.

In just 5 minutes, the team went from being 19 points behind to 13 points behind. If this lasted the entire fourth quarter, wouldn't it be, oh, it still wouldn't work.

"Substituting West will mean the final battle. If the opponent also replaces the main force..."

Vogel wanted to give himself a slap in the face.

Aren't the Heat's main players already on the court? Who can be replaced in the future?

With such a delay, Cole assisted Joel Anthony to score, and taking advantage of Amandelson's mistake, James hit a fast break layup.

The point difference returned to 17 points.

"74-91."

"Substitute, replace!"

Vogel quickly shouted and replaced West, preparing for the last fight.

Hansbrough easily hit the extra penalty.

"76-91."

"No, I want the ball in singles later!"

When George passed by Qi Tian, ​​he whispered to him.

He can already feel that Collison is too team-oriented, and the best choice when attacking is always the inside. But now with such a huge disadvantage, if you want to make a comeback, you can't rely on the inside to score those two points.

Cole repeated his old trick and once again passed to Joel Anthony under the basket, but West was not Amandelson and decisively blocked Anthony's position and shut out Anthony.

"Give me!"

Qi Tian took the ball from West and prepared to dribble through.

But Cole followed him closely like a gangrene in his bones, reaching out to steal from time to time.

"Hey, I'm almost done!"

Qi Tian also got angry, turned around decisively, passed over his opponent, and charged forward.

Wade let go of Collison and switched defenses.

In front of Wade, Qi Tian didn't dare to be as careless as he was in front of Cole, who was a master of life grabbing.

He quickly protected the basketball in his hand and prepared to find George.

George was naturally ready to run and catch the ball, but James followed his opponent closely. If George wanted to take a step towards the basket, he would have to collide passionately with his opponent.

"I'll do it myself."

Seeing George struggling, Qi Tian called West to pick and roll.

West stepped forward to block Wade, but he hesitated and finally chose the safest option.

This was the first time he played a pick-and-roll with Qi Tian, ​​who was holding the ball. With Collison, Hill, Granger and even George on the court, Qi Tian had very few opportunities to control the ball and attack. Of course, West had not cultivated the skills with Qi Tian.

tacit agreement.

Fortunately, Qi Tian was also well prepared. After moving laterally to break through, he took the lead and quickly hit the ground and passed to the basket.

West caught the ball and hit an easy layup.

James once again assisted Haslem and scored in return.

The Pacers decisively chose a three-pointer, and Qi Tian hit a jumper.

But then Wade followed suit and hit a three-pointer against Qi Tian's diffraction. He winked at the rookie in front of him and retreated on defense.

The Pacers' offense was surprisingly smooth in the last quarter, but they couldn't prevent James Wade's impact.

"82-102."

Looking at the point difference that had not narrowed at all and the last 3 minutes of game time, Vogel could only apply for a substitution and put on a substitute to admit defeat.

"The Heat, sitting at home, defeated their opponents 115-87 and won the crucial fifth game!"

"The Pacers came out on fire in the fourth quarter when Granger was injured and could not play, scoring 38 points in a single quarter, but their opponent, the Heat, also relied on the team's performance to score 39 points in a single quarter, leading 3-2.
