Basketball Legends: Strikers Are King

Taking advantage of a wave of mistakes by the Pacers, the Cavaliers' outside Daniel Gibson fired a three-pointer, narrowing the point difference in one fell swoop.

"58-64."

"There are still 3 minutes left in the game..."

Vogel thought for a while and applied for a substitution.

Hibbert's physical strength is limited and his playing time must be controlled. Now he wants to squander his physical strength doing some fancy things, which Vogel cannot tolerate.

"It's better to let Hibbert and Granger appear together in the future."

Hill broke through with the ball and was intercepted by his opponent.

"This way!"

Qi Tian opened his hand to ask for the ball from the outside, but Hill had no chance and passed the ball over.

Qi Tian didn't make any unnecessary feints this time, he caught the ball and broke through directly.

Anthony Parker slowed down a beat and could only watch Qi Tian rushing towards the basket.

"Assist in defense!"

Thompson immediately let go of Amandasson and moved forward to defend Qi Tian.

But Qi Tian used a large pullback to shake off the defense of Parker and Thompson, and then shot a jumper directly in front of the two men.

"Whoosh!"

The basketball was hollow and Qi Tian finally scored his first point of the game.

"yes!"

Seeing the basketball hitting the net, even Qi Tian couldn't help clenching his fists and cheering for himself.

Before, it was about fighting for opportunities, scoring smoothly, and there was an element of stealing the chicken;

But this time, Qi Tian officially participated in the team's offense and defense, relying on his own strength to score points.

However, the surrounding Pacers fans did not react much, which was a clear gap from Granger's previous crazy performance when he scored.

This is normal. Rookies come and go every year. How many of them average 25.8 points per game like Granger?

"Defense!"

Seeing that Qi Tian was still in a daze, Collison hurriedly pushed him and asked him to return to defense as soon as possible.

"okay."

Qi Tian followed his defender and secretly made up his mind:

One day, I will appear on the highest level stage and make everyone crazy about me.

Cavaliers guard Sessions advanced with the ball. He looked at Collison in front of him, without any fear, and forced a breakthrough.

But Collison did not intend to let him score easily. As Sessions broke through, Collison fell backwards as if he was hit hard.

The referee next to him immediately blew the whistle.

"Dudu! Offensive foul!"

"What?"

The knights didn't expect that Collison would try to retaliate, and immediately went up to the referee to argue.

The referee's vision was blocked, and now he saw the Cavaliers gathered around him. He immediately looked around with stern eyes, and the crowd was silent about the Cavaliers.

Everyone in the Cavaliers knew that if they continued to get entangled, the referee would inevitably call a technical foul and had no choice but to retreat.

Collison was pulled up by his teammates. Hill patted him on the shoulder and said:

"Okay you."

Collison did not respond to him, but said directly to Qi Tian:

"Take advantage of the opportunity and quickly take away the opponent. Try to be more than ten points ahead."

"clear."

Qi Tian nodded, turned around and prepared to attack, while Collison came to the baseline and prepared to catch the ball.

Hill came to the baseline to respond with a normal expression. When Collison got the ball, he turned around and ran towards the other half.

He was selected by the Spurs in the first round of 2008. After entering the highly disciplined San Antonio team, he started from the bench and served as a substitute for Parker and Ginobili.

In the 2010 playoffs against the old rival Mavericks, he scored a career-high 29 points on 11-of-16 shooting in a single game, averaging 22.3 points per game and leading the team to victory.

The strong performance at that time almost made Parker ready to serve as a substitute, but in the summer of 2011, the situation suddenly changed and he was traded!

Being traded by his old club as a rookie already made Hill simmering with anger. Now being ignored intentionally or unintentionally by his nominal teammate Collison made Hill even more angry.

"Then let's see who can perform better?"

Seeing Collison attacking with the ball, Hill felt a fighting spirit in his heart.

Amandasson's jump shot missed, and the rebound was protected by Alonzoki, who turned around to organize the offense.

Sessions advanced with the ball, and after picking and rolling with his teammates, he found Daniel Gibson ambushing the corner.

Daniel Gibson took the ball and made a three-point jump shot.

"Whoosh!"

Basketball hollow hit.

"58-66."

Just when Qi Tian, ​​who did not pursue the defense in place, wanted to tell his teammates that it was his mistake, Collison spoke:

"Hill, how did you defend?"

Hill opened his eyes slightly and looked at Collison who was making use of the topic.

Just now Collison was guarding Sessions alone, while Hill was chasing Alonzoki. It was Qi Tian who gave Daniel Gibson a chance.

This man did not accuse Qi Tian, ​​he obviously wanted to break up with himself!

Hill nodded and said:

"Yeah, it's my problem!"

Hansbrough, who was next to him, quickly acted as peacemaker, put his arms around the two people's shoulders and said:

"It's all small things, just pay attention next time."

"Yeah, just pay attention next time."

Hill murmured and repeated Hansbrough's words, then turned around and came to the bottom line.

The confrontation between the two on the field was not seen by head coach Vogel. He applied for a substitution step by step and replaced Collison with Stephenson in the next round.

There are only the last 2 minutes left in the third quarter.

Qi Tian's second shot was caught by the opponent Gibson, who jumped up to complete the interference.

Daniel Gibson took off the rebound for the second time and turned around to prepare for the attack.

"This way!"

Sessions ran quickly and asked Gibson for the ball.

Hill quickly chased after him, but was deceived by Sessions, and then Sessions made a layup.

"60-66."

The Pacers' idea of ​​a flurry went bankrupt immediately, and instead their opponents seized the opportunity to close the score.

"Tsk."

Hill looked around and realized helplessly that among the substitutes he was in, only the strikers had the upper hand.

"Let's find the striker for the next few attacks."

"I hope Qi can be stable."

He dribbled forward and made a gesture to his teammates.

Qi Tian, ​​who was in the bottom corner, suddenly started, circled around the basket, came to Hill, and helped him block Sessions.

Hill broke through quickly, attracted the defense, broke through along the arc, and passed the ball to Qi Tian.

Gibson tried his best to catch up but couldn't. He could only watch Qi Tian catch the ball and force a layup.

Thompson immediately took off under the basket and collided with his opponent.

"snort!"

Qitian let out a groan, and the basketball flew out.

"Dudu!"

The referee immediately blew the whistle and called Thompson a shooting foul.

"Two free throws."

Naturally, the fans of the home team would not steal the show at this time. After high-fiving his teammates, Qi Tian walked to the free throw line.

He took a few deep breaths, adjusted his rhythm and threw the basketball in his hand.

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

The basketball was accurately hit, helping the Pacers open the score again.

“60-68.”
