Basketball Legends: Strikers Are King

"We can't fight like this!"

Needless to say, everyone is aware of the Pacers' offensive problems.

On the defensive end, they can indeed compete with the Spurs, but offensively, they are far from the Spurs who cooperate tacitly.

This resulted in the Pacers not being able to defend against the Spurs' offense, but the Spurs were able to defend against the Pacers.

Vogel did not hesitate and sent George and Qi Tian in the fourth quarter. The two of them appeared together with Augustin, Hansbrough and Mahinmi.

West and Hibbert need to rest due to physical problems. Of course, they can play when necessary.

The Spurs replaced Gary Neal, Ginobili, Jackson, Bonner and Blair.

From a lineup perspective, the Pacers have an absolute advantage, but the Spurs will always be an exception.

After Mahinmi scored inside, Blair received a pass from Ginobili and cut for a layup.

George responded with a jumper, and Bonner hit a three-pointer from the outside.

Then, taking advantage of the Pacers' offensive rhythm break, the Spurs scored 9 points from Gary Neal, Ginobili and Blair, widening the gap.

"64-85."

In the three and a half minutes of the fourth quarter, the Spurs' bench proved to the audience that smooth team tactics can make up for the gap in strength between players.

"Steady, steady!"

"As expected of the Spurs!"

"It should be said that he is worthy of Popovich!"

Spurs fans cheered as they watched the team's smooth offense and their opponents who looked extremely immature against the background.

"seven!"

George asked for the ball from a high position and prepared to score singles to stabilize the situation.

But Qi Tian had other plans and did not pass the ball.

"What's going on? There's internal strife in the team?"

The situation on the field was immediately noticed by the audience, and they looked towards the field curiously.

"Pull away, I want a single!"

Qi Tian worked hard to find Ginobili's defensive weaknesses and gestured to his teammates.

"Pull away!"

What surprised the audience was that it was George who ran to the bottom corner first and helped Qi Tian defend.

"What's going on?"

The fans looked at Qi Tian who was playing singles at the top of the key, and they couldn't suppress the curiosity in their hearts.

"Dong, dong, dong..."

Qi Tian dribbled the ball slowly, while Ginobili stood steadily in front of his opponent, neither pressing nor retreating.

"That's it!"

Qi Tian pretended to break through, and as expected, Ginobili took a slight half-step. This half-step was enough for Qi Tian.

He quickly collected the ball and jumped up, meeting Ginobili's hand, and shot a three-pointer.

"Whoosh!"

Basketball hollow hit.

"67-85."

"nice shot!"

The Pacers bench cheered, but with the huge point difference, their excitement couldn't be too high.

"Substitute!"

Popovich actually made the first substitution, replacing Ginobili with Green.

But he didn't know that this substitution had changed the situation.

Compared with Ginobili's serpentine breakthrough, Green's offensive methods seemed too rough. George followed up a few steps and blocked the opponent's cutaway layup from behind. Augustin got the basketball.

"Quick attack!"

Augustin looked up and immediately made a long pass. Qi Tian, ​​who had already passed half the court, caught the ball and went straight for an empty layup.

"69-85."

Gary Neal responded by hitting a pull-up jumper, Qi Tian assisted Mahinmi to score, and worked hard to create a wave.

At this critical moment, George suddenly rushed over from midfield, stole Jackson, and scored a fast break layup.

"73-87."

The Spurs were assisted by Jackson and Gary Neal made a hit, once again maintaining the point difference.

"This won't work!"

Vogel immediately requested a substitution and replaced Augustin with Hill.

At the same time, he was also warning himself in his mind that Collison had left and he could no longer use the backup point guard as the starting point guard.

Hill's touch was very good. He received a pass from George when he came on the court and hit a key three-pointer.

"76-87."

As Blair struck, Qi Tian picked up the rebound and passed it to Hansbrough, who followed up. Hansbrough caused a foul and went to the free throw line, and the Pacers began their pursuit of points.

"Substitute!"

Both sides applied for substitutions at the same time, and the Spurs replaced Split and Parker to ensure the inside advantage and offensive rhythm;

The Pacers replaced Hibbert to emphasize the inside advantage.

"Uh-huh."

"Uh-huh."

Hansbrough made two free throws, helping the team narrow the point difference to single digits.

"78-87."

"Walker, charge!"

"The horse-walking team will win!"

The Pacers fans got excited and cheered for the team crazily.

As soon as Parker came on the court, the Spurs' offense immediately became smoother. Gary Neal ran quickly and received Parker's pass in the bottom corner. He caught the ball and shot, throwing the basketball.

“What a beautiful thought!”

Qi Tian suddenly rushed out and used his height advantage to touch the flying basketball in the air.

Sure enough, the basketball changed direction, hit the edge of the basket, and bounced out.

George got the rebound and quickly found his teammates.

Because the Spurs retreated in time, Hill did not find an opportunity and could only stop at the top of the key and wait for his teammates to get into position.

Qi Tian made a circle from the baseline, suddenly shook off Neil's defense, and rushed out.

"Oops!"

Galnier rushed out. When he saw Qi Tian raising his hand, he used his legs hard and jumped up.

"Are you anxious?"

Qi Tian took back the basketball, moved a step to the left, and when Jackson came over to defend, he passed it to Paul George in the bottom corner.

Paul George caught the ball and made a jump shot.

"Whoosh!"

"81-87."

In the last four and a half minutes, the Pacers actually went on a 17-2 run, chasing the point difference to 6 points!

Popovich looked livid on the sidelines and replaced Jackson directly. Parker was also replaced by Ginobili.

Leonard caught the ball and attacked, but George fought hard to defend and successfully interfered.

"clang!"

Just when the Pacers fans thought the team could continue their efforts, Split took the offensive rebound from Mahinmi's head and passed it to Ginobili outside.

Ginobili caught the ball and made a shooting motion, but what he didn't expect was that Qi Tian still stood firmly in front of him and had no intention of blocking the shot.

"Yo ho?!"

Ginobili was shocked. He didn't expect the young man in front of him to be so steady and not shaken.

He accelerated his dribbling and was about to break through to the left, but Qi Tian moved half a step and stood in front of him.

Ginobili collided with the small forward's size and was naturally at a disadvantage. He quickly took a three-point jumper with a slight fadeaway.

At this time, Qi Tian finally jumped up and touched the basketball with his fingers again.

The basketball flew out and was rebounded by George.

Seeing the puzzled look on Ginobili's face as he returned to defense, Qi Tian almost laughed out loud.

After entering the league, there were so many people who wanted to "welcome" him in their own way. He finally understood the psychology of his opponents, or some of his opponents.

When your goal is not to simply score, but to play with the newcomers on the opposite side, you naturally want to see the opponent being knocked down and flying around in a panic. Then Qi Tian only needs to do the opposite and ignore the previous ones.

Fake moves, just predict the subsequent moves.
