Basketball Legends: Strikers Are King

"Card troupe, come on!"

From leading to falling behind, the mentality of Pacers fans has also undergone hundreds of millions of changes, but they still choose to believe in the home team.

Seeing the team members taking the stage again, they immediately cheered and shouted.

Feeling the eager expectations of the fans, Qi Tian and George looked at each other and stood in the Spurs' half.

When Hill advanced with the ball, Qi Tian began to think.

The Spurs do lack forward defenders after Leonard's absence, but this does not mean that any forward can defeat the Spurs, because their defense has never relied on one-on-one, but five-on-five.

.

Even if they break through the defense of the back line or even the forward line, they still have power forwards and centers inside to help cover the defense, and there are also people in other open positions who are responsible for rotation. In other words, you must break through at least two of the opponent's defenses in order to completely break through.

Spurs' defense.

Obviously no one on the current Pacers team can do this.

"But this does not mean that the Spurs' defense is perfect."

Qi Tian felt confident and was about to run when he saw Hill passing the ball directly to Hibbert under the basket. Hibbert faced Duncan and still failed to prove his strength.

Even if the opponent loses his previous speed due to physical problems, there is no way Hibbert can do anything but a small inside hook.

Parker turned around to win the basketball, and then dribbled the ball forward. The years of tacit understanding between him and Duncan came into play, and he decisively passed the ball to Duncan who followed up, assisting his teammate for a layup.

"99-95."

In the last 2 and a half minutes, the Spurs extended their lead to 4 points!

"I'll do it!"

George reached for the ball, then singled out Green, turned around and shot a fadeaway jumper with confidence.

"clang!"

"ah!"

As the Pacers fans lamented, the basketball flew to the side. When Duncan was about to protect the backboard, Hibbert tried his best to shoot from the side. The basketball immediately flew out and was collected by Qi Tian.

"Okay, we still have a chance!"

Hill's eyes lit up, he stopped preparing to defend, came to the top of the arc, asked for the ball and prepared to organize a second attack.

"Hey, doesn't Qi pass the ball?"

Seeing that Qi Tian did not pass the ball to Hill, the Pacers fans' doubts were answered by themselves.

"Oh, are you planning to take the ball out by yourself?"

Ginobili thought so too. When he came to Qi Tian and was about to pay attention to the position of his teammates, he saw Qi Tian in front of him jump up and throw the basketball.

"Is it an alley-oop...?"

Through years of experience, Ginobili can be sure that the ball was definitely not thrown toward the basket in a hollow direction. The high arc would definitely hit the backboard.

He immediately turned around and blocked Qi Tian, ​​and warned his teammates:

"Don't let them jump...?"

"clang!"

The basketball did hit the backboard as he expected. Hibbert was also stuck by Duncan and did not jump up. As for West, he was still in the high position.

But after the rebound, the basketball headed towards the basket and accurately fell into the net.

"Whoosh!"

"99-97."

"Break shot?!"

Spurs fans looked at the screen in shock.

"nice shot!"

Pacers fans were ecstatic.

"It's okay, we are still ahead!"

The Spurs hardly needed any mental preparation before they started their next attack.

After Diaw attracted the defense, he handed it to Duncan under the basket. Duncan faced Hibbert and scored with a throw.

"101-97."

"I, I can't prevent this?"

The Pacers fans, who were still happy just now, immediately cursed and accused Hibbert, and then looked at Qitian and George expectantly.

"It's okay, we still have Qi and Paul!"

The timer already showed the last two minutes of the game. West received the ball and passed it to Qi Tian on the outside.

"Should we break through or call a pick-and-roll?"

Ginobili immediately stepped forward, ready to predict his opponent's next move.

This is his experience after observation. If Qi Tian wants to take a shot from the outside, he will naturally call a pick-and-roll and try to find an opening;

But if you want to break through, you will allow your teammates to open up space.

"Pull away!"

Qi Tian waved to his teammates to pull away. Ginobili immediately made full preparations and signaled to Duncan or Diaw behind him to be ready to come up and defend at any time.

"Dong, dong, dong..."

Qi Tian dribbled the ball slowly, waiting for the opportunity, while Ginobili concentrated on defense.

"Time is running out to attack!"

The Pacers fans looked at Qi Tian anxiously as the attack time came to the last ten seconds.

"Almost!"

Ginobili's concentration has been raised to its peak and he is ready to deal with the opponent's breakthrough.

"Now!"

Qi Tian suddenly straightened his back, and to Ginobili's surprise, he raised his hand and threw it out!

"Three-pointers?!"

Ginobili slowed down a beat and could only watch the basketball pass over his somewhat reflective head and fly towards the basket.

"Stock!"

Duncan and Diaw reacted quickly and blocked Hibbert and West behind them.

"Whoosh!"

The crisp sound of the basketball's hollow hit indicates that their preparations were in vain.

"In!"

"101-100."

The Pacers fans burst into jubilation and celebrated wildly.

"Can you get in here?"

"You don't care whether he can or not, he got in anyway!"

The players on the bench also waved towels crazily and called for Qi Tian.

In the last two minutes, there was almost no difference between a 1-point difference and a tie.

"Another three-pointer!"

Popovich looked livid and glared at Ginobili, but did not make the usual substitutions.

At the critical moment of the game, Ginobili's magic touch was the Spurs' weapon to break the game. Even though his defense was far inferior to Green, Popovich would not let Green replace Ginobili.

A scene happened that made Popovich's blood pressure rise sharply. Parker, who had already scored 30 points, missed Hill's jump shot!

The Pacers immediately launched a fast break. Although Hill's jump shot did not hit, West grabbed the offensive rebound, caused a foul, and went to the free throw line.

"Go ahead and overtake the score! Go ahead and overtake the score!"

Pacers fans watched West walking to the free throw line and prayed silently.

"clang!"

Missed a free throw.

"It's okay, it's okay, tie the score, tie the score!"

Pacers fans adapting to the situation immediately changed the content of their prayers and lowered their demands.

After taking a deep breath, West threw the basketball in his hand.

"clang!"

Missed two free throws!

The Spurs were overjoyed. After grabbing the defensive rebound, they quickly handed it to Parker and asked him to charge with the ball!

"Dudu!"

The moment George slapped the basketball away, the referee blew the whistle, indicating that he had committed a shooting foul, and sent Parker to the free throw line.

"Oops!"

The Pacers fans screamed, if Parker made two free throws in the last minute and a half, the Spurs' lead would reach 3 points, and it would be difficult for the Pacers to chase points.

"No progress, no progress, no progress!"

Pacers fans once again prayed that the Lord would hear and grant their wishes.
