Basketball Legends: Strikers Are King

When the game started in the fourth quarter, the Pacers were still led by Qi Tian as a substitute.

The outbursts of him and George in the third quarter gave the Pacers a chance. Vogel did not replace West early, but used the established inside combination of Hansbrough and Mahinmi as usual.

The Hornets also used a starting lineup with substitutes, but their starters were Ryan Anderson and Aminu.

Anderson is a space-based insider who does not fight the opponent inside and does not consume too much physical energy. Aminu is a physical monster who focuses on defense. Let him slightly limit the opponent's physical strength on the court, which is also a countermeasure.

Anderson flew into the sky and hit a jumper to help the Hornets take the lead.

"76-75."

"nice shot!"

Hornets fans immediately cheered and cheered for the home team.

Augustine broke through and passed the ball to Qi Tian, ​​who was open. Qi Tian caught the ball and shot, and the basketball flew out.

"clang!"

The Pacers fans were shocked and were about to lament when they saw Qi Tian rush in and get the offensive rebound.

"There's still a chance!"

Qi Tian didn't take the lead and came out with the ball first, preparing for a second attack.

"This way!"

Hansbrough reached out for the ball, and behind him was Ryan Anderson.

Facing opponents who are also white insiders, Hansbrough has absolute confidence.

Augustin passed the ball, Hansbrough took a feint, turned around and made a jumper.

"clang!"

Hansbrough's smile was cut off by the sound of iron striking, and it froze on his face.

It was Qi Tian again, he rushed to the basket and grabbed the offensive rebound again!

"good!"

Knicks fans clenched their fists in celebration, especially when Qi Tian made a tip-in, they cheered in advance.

"nice shot……"

Facts have proved that they were happy too early. Jason Smith easily blocked Qi Tian from the side, thwarting the opponent's offensive attempt.

Although Mahinmi was not in a good position, he made up for it by grabbing an offensive rebound, then took a shot and caused a foul on his opponent, and went to the free throw line.

"Huh~~!"

"There's still a chance!"

Looking at Mahinmi preparing to take a free throw, the Pacers fans felt a little relieved. Although their opponent was only leading by 1 point, 1 point was still a point. They had better hit the free throw quickly and get the lead back.

"clang!"

"clang!"

What they didn't expect was that Mahinmi missed two free throws and the rebound was collected by Aminu, missing the opportunity to take the lead.

"Tsk!"

Vogel felt like his head was getting angry. He never expected that an inside man couldn't even make a free throw. Do you think you are O'Neal Howard?

Even Hibbert, who made the head coach angry, managed to keep his free throw percentage around 70%, close to 75%!

Looking at Hansbrough, who can't even stop Aminu, Vogel only feels that the substitute lineup he has trained will be defeated by these two insiders!

"Looking back, let's try to find a few substitute insiders."

Vogel made a follow-up plan to train a backup center and continued to watch the game.

As expected, Mahinmi failed to guard Jason Smith and watched his opponent score a layup. After Qi Tian missed another jump shot, the Hornets quickly expanded their lead.

"81-75."

"Give me!"

Qi Tian wanted to pass the basketball, pretended to break through, quickly collected the ball and shot a jump shot.

"Whoosh!"

Basketball hollow hit.

Before the Pacers could start scoring, Jason Smith singled out Mahinmi and turned around again for a layup.

"83-77."

"Substitute, replace!"

Seeing that the inside line was helpless against Jason Smith, Vogel could only replace Hibbert George and Hill in advance.

The Hornets also responded quickly and replaced Lopez and Rivers in the next few rounds.

Although Anderson fired from outside again, Qi Tian and Hibbert scored four points in a row to help the team stabilize the situation.

Both sides increased their defensive intensity at the same time, and the sound of iron strikes immediately became the tone of the game.

"90-83."

The Hornets still maintained a 7-point lead in the last 4 minutes.

"No, I have to shoot a three-pointer!"

Qitian and George looked at each other and had an idea.

George held the ball in a high position, Qi Tian and Hill ran wildly, and finally Qi Tian found an opportunity, ran counterattack, threw away his opponent, and came to the outside.

"seven!"

Qi Tian took the pass from George, jumped up directly, and threw the basketball in his hand from the highest point.

"Whoosh!"

Basketball hollow hit.

"90-86."

"pretty!"

The score was tied to 4 points, and the Pacers fans were overjoyed and prayed that the team could continue their efforts and it would be better if they directly played a wave of flow.

"Give them one back!"

The Hornets are also a young team, so naturally they will not let their opponents show their faces, but have made up their minds to return the favor as is.

However, Vasquez's running position failed to get rid of Qi Tian. When Qi Tian saw his opponent taking off, he immediately jumped up and interfered in the air.

"clang!"

The basketball jumped out of the hoop.

"Chance!"

George turned around to collect the basketball and immediately passed it to Hill. The Pacers immediately started running and prepared for a fast break.

"Oops!"

Hill found an opportunity and took advantage of Anderson's defensive loophole to pass the ball to West who was cutting through the air. However, after West made a feint shot, he passed it back to Qi Tian on the outside.

"What?"

Naturally, Vasquez couldn't let his opponent take a shot in the open space and quickly pounced on him.

Qi Tian also feinted a shot, and after dangling Vasquez, he saw Aminu covering up the defense and passed the ball directly to George on the other side. George quickly jumped up and threw the basketball in the air.

"Whoosh!"

This goal also scored!

"90-89."

The Pacers scored two three-pointers to narrow the point difference to 1 point!

"Paul~~George!!"

The fans on the sidelines, especially the female fans, followed the DJ's voice and shouted George's name in unison, and George's jersey and Q version of the avatar were also raised.

"George!"

"George!"

Qi Tian felt helpless as he listened to the shouts that were obviously much softer than after he scored a goal.

Who knows that he is loved by female fans?

The Hornets were not panicked by their opponent's offense. Robin Lopez directly singled out Hibbert, turned and shot for a layup.

"This is my chance to show off!"

Hibbert couldn't let his opponent get it easily, so he jumped up slightly and used his long arms to hit the basketball onto the backboard.

"Good hat!"

There was a burst of jubilation on the Pacers bench, but Robin Lopez grabbed the offensive rebound and made another tip-in without fear of confrontation.

"Dang, swish!"

The basketball bounces and falls in.

"Dudu!"

The referee blew the whistle to indicate Hibbert had committed a foul.

2+1!

Hibbert received his fourth foul and watched Lopez hit the extra free throw.

"93-89."

"Give!"

Hibbert picked up the basketball and passed it to Qi Tian. Qi Tian quickly dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, faced Vasquez, and hit a chasing three-pointer!

"What?"

Vasquez could only watch the basketball leap over his head. He turned his head to look, but his ears heard the sound first.

"Whoosh!"

"93-92."
