Basketball Legends: Strikers Are King

The fourth quarter was still a battlefield dominated by substitutes, but the Pacers still sent Qi Tian to lead four substitutes: Augustin, Sam Young, Hansbrough and Mahinmi.

"Can't the Pacers afford Nitrogen Tomb? It's already the fourth quarter and they're still starting?"

Mavericks fans were immediately reluctant.

The Pacers fans nearby immediately countered:

"Ha, who doesn't play games just to win? If you think there is a problem with us playing the main force, you can join too?"

"That's right, what about Mayo? Substitute him and play with our substitute lineup. I want to see if he has the stamina to last through the fourth quarter!"

"Paul, David and the others are still sitting on the bench and watching eagerly. Do they dare to come on?"

"It's just that we have a lot of talent on the front line, so we have to stagger the attack. That's it, and Danny the boss is resting off the court."

The game was not delayed because of the fans. The referee blew the whistle to start the fourth quarter, handed the ball to Mahinmi outside the baseline, and then began the countdown.

Augustin caught the ball in the backcourt and slowly dribbled the ball to the frontcourt.

He called for a pick-and-roll, quickly distributed the ball to Mahinmi under the basket, and assisted his teammates for a layup.

"67-78."

The point difference between the two teams reached double digits.

Augustin, who did not need to shoulder the burden of scoring, made a contribution on the defensive end. He first blocked Beaubois's jump shot, then stole the opponent's ball and passed the ball to Qi Tian on the fast break. Qi Tian hit a layup.

Qi Tian once again showed his omnipotent strength in the substitute lineup. After grabbing a defensive rebound, he grabbed an offensive rebound when Sam Young made a three-pointer. He did not dribble out, but quickly took off twice to meet the opponent.

Then Bubova dunked the basketball in his hand!

"Dudu!"

The referee blew the whistle at the right time to signal Boubois's defensive foul, and Qi Tian got the chance to add a penalty.

2+1!

Qi Tian steadily hit the extra penalty and scored the 22nd point of the game.

"69-83."

"Seven, seven, seven!"

A wave of explosions in the third quarter, coupled with the continued state of the fourth quarter, Qitian has made the home fans completely crazy. They waved everything they could in their hands to cheer for Qitian.

Someone even shouted:

"Seven, I admit that I was a bit too loud when I scolded you for only scoring 2 points in the first half. Please forgive me!"

These words immediately attracted the attention of the fans nearby, and they all sighed:

"This one is even more heavyweight."

Carlisle already sensed that the situation was not good, so he quickly replaced Mayo, and then replaced James and Murphy who were not performing well.

Although there are still 9 minutes left in the game, and if we replace the main players early, we have to consider their physical strength, but now we are more than ten points behind. If we don't make a substitution, I'm afraid there will be no need for substitution.

But at this time, the Pacers had everything going smoothly. Mahinmi and Sam Young scored 4 points in a row. In the last eight minutes, the score difference was about to reach 20 points.

"69-87."

The Mavericks fans on the sidelines were already anxious and shouted at the players:

"Mavericks, go ahead, come on!"

Several people on the field had the urge to retaliate.

Mud, if we can work harder, why are we leading by 18 points?

The vast majority of players in the league can only hit the ball with the wind. Once the wind goes against them, they need to have a backbone to stand up and lead the team to chase points by example, so that they can make their own contribution as the icing on the cake.

The Mavericks used to have Nowitzki, but now that Nowitzki needs surgery, they have no choice but to be slaughtered.

Mayo finally woke up and scored in a one-on-one to help the Mavericks stop the bleeding.

But then new player Hill responded with a jump shot.

Collison drew a foul and made two free throws. Hibbert grabbed George's offensive rebound and scored a tip-in.

Crowder caught the ball and made a hit, Hansbrough made one of two free throws;

Murphy scored a layup, and Hibbert scored 2+1, completely widening the point difference.

"77-95."

In the last 4 minutes of the game, the Pacers' lead reached 22 points.

Almost all fans know that the outcome of the game has been decided.

The Pacers, who replaced their main force, successfully maintained the point difference until the end.

"Dudududu!"

The referee blew the whistle to end the game, and the Pacers at home beat their opponents 103-83, 20 points, and achieved their sixth victory of the season.

Mayo's face was ashen. Although he tried to lead the team to a comeback, he only scored 2 points and seemed not qualified to lead the team.

"ohhhhh!"

"Win, win, win!"

Compared with the previous games where they lost due to constipation, today's Pacers were like a completely different team, with smooth offense and resolute defense. They still ended the game with a big win. This made the fans extremely happy and they made an appointment to go to the bar after the game.

Have fun.

Next, the Pacers will fly to other states for away games. Fortunately, they are not back-to-back games, so the time is not too rushed.

After winning a big victory, the players decided to go out for a night of fun, and Hibbert even offered a treat, which immediately attracted several nightclub goers to swarm over.

Except for West Qitian and others who don't like the excitement, there was also George who declined the invitation to the nightclub today.

Watching his teammates walk out of the locker room one by one, George turned around, picked up the basketball, and went to the already crowded gymnasium to start practicing more.

"clang!"

"Boom!"

"Whoosh!"

All kinds of sounds emerged in endlessly during George's additional practice.

Suddenly, the flying basketball was held firmly by a hand. George turned around and saw that it was Qitian.

"Why don't you go to the nightclub?"

Qi Tian threw the ball over,

"This is nothing like you."

George took the basketball and threw it.

"Whoosh!"

Seeing the basketball hit, he became interested and said:

"Not in the mood."

Although the team won, the result of only 4 of 11 shots obviously did not satisfy George.

You know, in the last two games, his bizarre shooting percentage has caused controversy among fans.

Now that he has won the game, his performance is still not good. Doesn't this mean that George's performance has nothing to do with the team's victory or defeat?

This made George, who always prided himself on carrying the team on his shoulders, feel uncomfortable after Granger retired from injury.

Does the team really need him to resist? Is it possible that he has been dragging the team down?

Qi Tian picked up the basketball, made two feints, and then shot a fadeaway jumper.

"Whoosh!"

"Seven, tell me, I usually train very seriously. Why am I not as stable as you in shooting?"

George quickly asked the question he had asked Qi Tian before.

This time, Qi Tian had the answer.

"Paul, you and I are different."

"Yeah?"

George was dissatisfied and wanted to refute, but he heard what Qi Tian continued to say:

"You are even different from most players. We can improve our skills through hard practice, but you not only have to rely on hard practice, but also your own fighting spirit."

"When you meet a strong person, wouldn't you suddenly have the idea of ​​competing with him?"

George thought about it and nodded.

"That's it. The reason why you didn't perform well today and the past few days is because you feel that there is no opponent worthy of you fighting. When you actually meet your opponent, you will have the fighting spirit and you will naturally perform seriously."

Listening to Qi Tian's words, a figure wearing No. 6 jersey suddenly flashed in front of George's eyes. He nodded and said:

"I'm afraid so."
