Basketball Legends: Strikers Are King

Jason Thompson attracted the defense and passed it back to Brooks at the top of the key. Brooks received the ball and made a jump shot directly.

"Whoosh!"

Basketball hollow hit.

"59-68."

"nice shot!"

Kings fans burst into jubilation.

But Pacers fans were dismissive.

"Ha, seeing how happy they are, I thought the one in the lead was the king."

"That's right, with their lineup, the starting lineup relies entirely on Cousins, and there's only one guy on the bench who can play. They're not still thinking about making a comeback, are they?"

The scores of George and Augustin also made Pacers fans full of confidence.

"59-71."

"Haha, look at them, are they all wilted?"

"Why don't you shout? Oh, we have scored, it's our turn to shout!"

"Come on, horse walking team!"

"Don't win too much, or your opponent will cry!"

Thornton listened to the sounds around him, broke through and scored, assisted Thomas Robinson to score under the basket, and then caused George to foul and made two free throws.

"63-71."

Augustine broke through and was intercepted by Robinson. Brooks took the pass and rushed to the frontcourt, and directly made a chasing three-pointer!

"Whoosh!"

"66-71."

A hollow basketball hit, and in the last 23 seconds, the Kings narrowed the point difference to 5 points!

"Something's not right!"

George sensed something was wrong, went directly to the high post to ask for the ball, killed some time, and made a jumper at the buzzer.

"Whoosh!"

"66-74."

"Oh, it's okay then!"

Pacers fans were relieved and began to cheer for the team.

The fans' confidence swelled and they even cheered for the Kings.

"You have to fight harder and don't surrender quietly."

In the fourth quarter of the game, the substitutes still came on first.

Thomas Robinson stole Mahinmi, then received Thornton's pass and made a layup.

"68-74."

The opponent's momentum has risen!

Qi Tian did not dare to underestimate his opponent, he decisively came to the top of the arc to ask for the ball, and waved for his teammates to move.

Defending Qi Tian is Kings substitute small forward Garcia. Although he is 201 centimeters tall, his weight is only 88kg, a guard level.

"Pick and roll!"

Qi Tian did not choose to break through, but called a pick-and-roll and quickly started to accelerate.

Garcia knew that his opponent was not slow and immediately bypassed him.

"Now!"

Seizing the opportunity, Qi Tian quickly collected the ball and made a long three-pointer.

"clang!"

Qi Tian's three-pointer missed, but he rushed to the basket, grabbed the rebound and made a tip-in.

"68-76."

"Okay, okay."

The Pacers fans breathed a sigh of relief, but their hearts were quickly lifted.

Hayes played.

After he attracted the defense under the basket, he made a pass to Thornton and Robinson and scored. The Kings recovered the point difference in the last 9 minutes and 47 seconds.

"73-76."

“ohhhhh!!”

The away fans supporting the Kings immediately shouted with excitement.

The originally lagging score was caught up by the substitutes. How could this not excite them?

"Substitute!"

Vogel quickly replaced West to reinforce the inside line.

"You come on!"

Qi Tian and West exchanged glances. West had just come on the court and didn't know how he felt, so he signaled for Qi Tian to take action.

"good!"

Qi Tian did his job, called the pick-and-roll, and quickly rushed towards the basket.

Garcia was pushed away and could only fight back to defend, but the referee called a foul.

"Huh~"

Qi Tian adjusted his rhythm and made consecutive free throws.

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

"73-78."

"Seven, seven, seven!"

Qi Tian hit consecutive shots in response, widening the point difference again, and the Pacers fans immediately cheered.

But the Kings repeated their old tricks. Hayes held the ball inside and quickly passed the ball to Marcus Thornton on the outside. Thornton caught the ball and shot, and hit the basketball accurately.

"76-78."

When Thornton scored the 20th point of the game, he reduced the score to 2 points!

"Substitute!"

Vogel became more impatient and replaced Hill.

"Marcus, Marcus!"

The Kings on the other side were full of momentum, and everyone on the bench waved their towels wildly to cheer Thornton on.

Everyone on the field unanimously increased their defensive intensity and exchanged a wave of blacksmithing experience.

Marcus Thornton caught the ball and shot, but finally missed again. Hill rushed to the basket and got the rebound.

"Quick attack!"

Qi Tian took the basketball and immediately rushed to the opponent's half. Garcia and Thornton followed closely, but they could only watch Qi Tian lightly throw the basketball in his hand.

"Dang-dang-dang, swish!"

The basketball bounced twice and still fell into the basket.

"76-80."

"Defend!"

Before everyone in the Pacers had time to cheer for Qi Tian's goal, Qi Tian quickly returned to defense and shouted to his teammates,

"Don't let them get another chance!"

Stephenson was shocked and quickly chased Thornton, not giving him an open chance.

Augustine also allocated his energy and was always ready to take care of Suo's thigh.

"Chance!"

Brooks knew that the opportunity was rare, so he used a pass fake to get away from Augustin in front of him, and then collected the ball and shot a jumper.

"Whoosh!"

Basketball hollow hit.

"79-80."

"He's too strong!"

“Oh selling cake!!!”

"yes!yes!!YES!!!"

Kings fans screamed in exclamation, and after Vogel called a timeout, they stood up excitedly and applauded the substitute players who walked to the bench.

"snort!"

Thornton listened to the applause and cheers of a small number of Kings fans, looked around at the silent Pacers fans, and snorted proudly.

The substitute is not useless.

"this……"

The Pacers fans, who were originally full of confidence, immediately looked at each other. They had underestimated their opponents and mocked the Kings' substitutes, but their faces were already swollen by their opponents' performance.

"It doesn't matter, we are still ahead. Our opponents may not be able to catch up!"

A fan wearing Qitian's No. 7 jersey said softly, but his teammates next to him did not agree with him like before.

All the fans at the scene knew that the critical moment of the game was coming, and using performance rather than words to tell the truth is the safest way.

Vogel is telling the players:

"...Strengthen the defense on the outside, especially Thornton. Lance, I leave it to you."

Taking advantage of the timeout, he replaced Qi Tian, ​​who had played for nearly 6 minutes, and George and Hibbert came on. The defense of the back line could only be left to Stephenson.

"no problem."

Stephenson knew this was his opportunity to perform and immediately nodded heavily.

In terms of offense, he has grown a lot compared to the previous two seasons, but Stephenson knows that he is indeed not as stable as Qi Tian;

But if it's just defense, Stephenson has absolute confidence that he is better than Qi Tian. To be honest, Stephenson has the confidence to compete with George on defense.

"Okay, let's take the stage."

When the timeout ended, Vogel asked his players to come on stage and prepare for the final half of the game.

Qi Tian cheered with his teammates, then turned around and sat on the bench.
