Basketball Legends: Strikers Are King

"Hey, how can I beat a chicken with this special code?"

Seeing the score gradually being extended by their opponents, the Kings fans on the sidelines felt like they had been hit hard again.

The Kings' first five points were all scored by Cousins, and no one else could provide any help.

Who can really achieve 1V5? I’m afraid it will be difficult even if Chamberlain comes back to life, right?

Although Cousins ​​scored 2 points again with hard work inside, the two teams replaced each other with substitutes, which made the fans feel chilly.

In the previous two games, only Marcus Thornton scored in double figures among the Kings' bench, and did not provide much help to the team.

Today's opponent, the Pacers, was one of the top five playoff teams in bench scoring last season. Can the Kings withstand the impact of their opponents?

Vogel first replaced West and Qi Tian, ​​then replaced Hibbert and Hill in the last three minutes, leaving only George to play the entire first quarter.

The Kings only replaced Thornton.

Evans succeeded in a layup, but Hill then responded and maintained the point difference again.

"I'll do it!"

Thornton asked for the ball from the high post, and then directly hit Paul George in singles.

"Dong, dong, dong..."

Marcus Thornton dribbles slowly, moving forward.

"Is it mid-range or breakthrough?"

George began to judge the opponent's offensive intentions to make targeted defense.

The moment George relaxed, Thornton, who was stepping on the three-point line, collected the ball directly, diffracting George's shot.

"Whoosh!"

Basketball hollow hit.

"11-14."

Then Hansbrough missed a jump shot. Thornton blocked George to collect the rebound. After a fast break breakthrough to attract the defense, a large-scale transfer was handed over to Thomas on the outside.

Thomas received the ball and shot directly.

"Whoosh!"

Three point hit!

"14-14."

Suo Thigh's performance was not over yet. He scrambled for offensive rebounds, scored a tip-in, and hit a jumper after receiving a pass from his teammate. The Kings were so powerful that they launched another 10-4 attack wave to overtake the score.

"24-18."

Evans' two free throws helped the team open the point difference to 6 points.

Kings fans on the sidelines cheered and cheered for the team.

"Well done!"

"The Kings must win!"

The most popular player on the court is undoubtedly Marcus Thornton, who played less than 6 minutes. He scored 6 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist on 2 of 3 shots, helping the team directly reverse from a 5-point deficit to a 6-point lead.

The biggest contributor.

"Marcus!"

"Thorton!"

All the fans, led by the on-site DJ, chanted Thornton's name.

"Paul is still a little bit behind."

Head coach Vogel and assistant coach Brian Shaw shook their heads slightly, knowing that George still needs time to grow.

George made 0 of 3 shots in the first quarter and scored a goal. He was quite like Granger, but at the critical moment when the opponent was chasing points, his immature ability to handle the ball was the difference between him and Granger.

Granger's own poor touch will lead his teammates to assist his teammates as the axis of offense, but now George can't do that and can only watch his opponent play a wave of flow.

"Slowly accumulate experience."

Vogel excused George and arranged the lineup for the second quarter.

The Kings sent out a pure bench lineup of Aaron Brooks, Thornton, Garcia, Thomas Robinson and Hayes in the second quarter;

The Pacers are naturally led by Qi Tian, ​​with a starting lineup of Augustin, Stephenson, Hansbrough and Mahinmi.

As soon as Suo Tama came on the court, he scored a jump shot to help the team widen the point difference.

Only this time, someone started fighting with him.

"Give me!"

Qi Tian asked for the ball from the high post, received a pass from Augustin, and made a jump shot directly in front of Thornton.

"Whoosh!"

"26-20."

Qi Tian not only attacked by himself, but also led his teammates to score. Mahinmi received the ball and caused a foul and went to the free throw line. Thornton's jump shot also missed the basket under Qi Tian's defense.

"Whoosh!"

Qi Tian received a pass from Augustine from the outside and hit a three-pointer.

"30-29."

Just 3 and a half minutes into the second quarter, the Pacers narrowed the point difference to 1 point.

"Oh, this young man."

Augustin took a breath. He now understood the reason why the team asked Qi Tian to lead the bench even with Stephenson and Hansbrough.

When you have a jack-of-all-trades player in your lineup who has the ability to attack in isolation, support, defend, and catch and shoot, it's hard not to use him as your main force.

"Give!"

Augustin decisively passed the ball to Qi Tian, ​​but Qi Tian was keenly aware of Stephenson's opportunity to rush to the basket. He passed the pass to his teammate. Stephenson pushed against Brooks and forced a layup.

"Whoosh!"

"Dudu!"

The basketball bounced twice and fell into the basket, and the referee's whistle sounded at the right time.

2+1!

"30-31."

The Pacers took the lead.

"yes!!!"

Stephenson became excited, flashed his biceps, and roared.

Going to the free throw line, he steadily hit the extra free throw and regained the lead.

"30-32."

Although Brooks scored a jumper to help the team tie, the situation was still like a seesaw, tilting towards the Pacers.

Because halfway through the second quarter, the Pacers began to gradually switch to the main force!

After Qi Tian caused a foul on Cousins ​​and made two free throws to score his seventh point in the quarter and his 11th point in the first half, the Pacers' current strongest lineup began to show its power.

Hibbert, West and George scored consecutively with the assists of their teammates. Hill and Qi Tian also scored by attacking the basket, and the point difference gradually widened.

"40-48."

Thornton, who had performed well before, also lost his voice under the intensive care of Qi Tian and George. Coach Smart had no choice but to replace him.

In the last minute of the second quarter, James Johnson made a mistake. The Pacers took advantage of the opportunity to break quickly. Hill broke through and passed the ball to West, causing Jason Thompson to foul.

Jason Thompson, who was already mentally unbalanced, elbowed West directly. He was immediately called for a technical foul and was replaced by the head coach.

Hill and West made all three free throws.

"40-51."

"Stable!"

The Pacers coaching staff on the sidelines were overjoyed, knowing that today's game was already a guaranteed win.

Young teams, due to their lack of experience, will make inappropriate responses in many situations, resulting in tuition fees.

How to respond correctly when falling behind is a key subject for almost all young people to pay tuition.

Now the Pacers are playing a wave, and the young men of the Kings obviously have a wrong mentality and are much more impatient than at the beginning. This is a good opportunity for the Pacers to open up the score.

Sure enough, with George's three-pointer and Hill's layup, the Pacers entered the second half with a 14-point lead 56-42.

"Steady, steady!"

The home Pacers fans were overjoyed and relieved.

Do you have Suo Thigh? I also have the Great Sage!
