Basketball Legends: Strikers Are King

"6...6 crimes!"

Seeing Hibbert leave the game in frustration, Hornets fans reluctantly accepted the great news.

"Really, really left!"

"Very good!"

"The opponent has no internal barrier. As long as we make free throws, defend one, and score another, we can equalize the score!"

Hornets fans are ecstatic.

Pacers fans on the other side found it difficult to accept the bad news.

Yes, Hibbert plays poorly, but no matter how bad he is, he is still the most trustworthy core of the team and the inside gate.

"If Roy goes down, will he rely on Hansbrough and Mahinmi?"

Pacers fans watched in despair as Hansbrough quickly stood up and took to the court.

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

"105-107."

The fans looked at the insider who was a little shabby because Hibbert was off the field, swallowed their saliva, and said:

"No, it's okay, we still have West."

But the players on the field were not knocked down by this accident. Instead, Qi Tian looked at George and asked in a low voice:

"You coming or me?"

The two have already scored 27 and 29 points respectively, and their hands are as good as entering the zone. Qitian believes that both George and himself are absolutely confident that they can hit the next shot.

"Of course it's me, is it you?"

George did his part. He looked back at Qi Tian and said,

"If you have the chance, you can play by yourself. Anyway, we must win today's game!"

"That's okay!"

Qi Tian knew that George had such confidence because he also had it. The two of them quickly followed Hill to the frontcourt and prepared to attack.

"seven!"

Qi Tian took the pass from Hill and rushed directly towards the basket.

Vasquez quickly followed up, but after Qi Tian attracted Anderson's defensive attention, he quickly passed the ball to George in the bottom corner.

George caught the ball and hit this fatal three-pointer!

"105-110."

"pause!"

George's three-pointer in the last minute really made Monty call a timeout. We must be cautious in the next few rounds.

"nice shot!"

Pacers fans got excited and cheered for George's shot.

"Killed the game! This ball absolutely killed the game!"

"Paul~~George!!ForThree!!!"

The fans started shouting along with the DJ's voice.

"Okay, you, three-pointers are so accurate?"

As soon as George returned to the bench, he received praise from his teammates. George was also intoxicated with his current state and said confidently:

"That's why you underestimated me because I didn't take any action before!"

"Okay, don't brag!"

Vogel waved and asked the five people on the court to gather in front of him and continue to arrange tactics.

After the timeout, the Hornets made West a foul caused by Lopez and made two free throws, but with only 26 seconds left in the game, they could only use foul tactics.

Hansbrough surprised the fans. He made four consecutive free throws in the end and did not give his opponent another chance.

"Dudududu!"

"107-115."

The referee blew the whistle to end the game, and the score was settled without any suspense.

The home fans, who were sure that the team would win, cheered for the home team players with long-lasting applause and cheers. Especially after Qitian George raised his hand, the atmosphere on the court reached its peak.

In today's game, Qi Tian and George scored 27 points and 32 points respectively, achieving a new high score this season.

The two men broke out at the same time when the team was lagging behind, which also proved that in Granger's absence, there are still people on the team who can shoulder the team's offensive responsibility and lead the team to victory.

Since the next game is still a home game and not a back-to-back, the Pacers players all got a valuable half-day of rest after training.

The players rested, but the coaching team couldn't rest. Vogel was still leading the assistant coaches to watch the video, conduct statistics and summarize the data.

"Dong dong dong."

"Who could it be at this time?"

Vogel stopped explaining, first turned off the projection screen, and then walked over and opened the door.

"Grizzle?"

Vogel was startled. Standing outside the door was Danny Granger in casual clothes.

"Is your injury healed?"

Vogel thought of a possibility, and his joy spread.

"It wasn't a serious injury originally."

Granger said hello to the assistant coaches inside, and then walked in at Vogel's signal.

But Granger's slightly staggering steps still made the head coach's smile stop.

"But the doctor still hopes that I can rest for a while."

Granger found a seat behind the desk and sat down, looking at Vogel.

"Then come here..."

Vogel was a little confused and didn't understand why Granger gave up his recuperation and came to the video analysis room.

"I watched the previous games and had some thoughts that I wanted to share."

Brian Xiao's expression immediately changed.

Things are different now than in the 1950s and 1960s. Back then, players could work part-time as coaches, but that is not the case now.

Players are players and coaches are coaches.

Even if you, Granger, are the boss of the team, you can't dictate the coach's work, right?

Although Vogel was not happy, he had risen to the top thanks to Granger, so he was much more tolerant of Granger. Instead, he asked:

"This is an opportunity. No matter how much work we do, we will analyze it from the perspective of a coach. I just want to listen to your professional analysis as a player. Maybe we can find out and fill in the gaps."

Granger waved his hand and said:

"I'm not an analyst, I'm not a professional, I just have some thoughts."

But he still spoke.

"I think the team's offensive tactics at the forward and back positions have too little weight."

"What?"

Brian Shaw was a little surprised.

If Granger had said this when he was still there, it would obviously mean that he had too little possession of the ball, but now he is not here?

Granger continued:

"I had this feeling when I was watching the game a few days ago."

"Qiu and Paul are both very talented young people. I think the offensive tactics the team assigned them are too monotonous and do not maximize their abilities. I hope the proportion can be appropriately increased."

"Of course, I'm not a professional, I'm just giving my opinion."

Granger didn't know if this would cause trouble to the coaching team, so he quickly patched it up.

Want the ball for George and Qitian?

Brian Shaw was in awe.

He had seen several people playing on the field complain about the uneven distribution of the ball. This was the first time that Brian Shaw had seen someone say that someone else had too little of the ball.

Isn't he afraid that when he returns from injury, his position as the team boss will be lost?

Brian Shaw must admit that regardless of Granger's ability, this generosity alone made Brian Shaw know why everyone on the team and even the coaching staff believed that Granger could lead the team to victory.
