Basketball Legends: Strikers Are King

"It's broken, it's broken!"

Grizzlies fans watched the progress of the game and began to feel uncertain.

Since everyone knows their own business, there is no need to worry about the Grizzlies' defense. The only problem is their offense.

Now that Gasol is sitting off the court due to foul trouble, Randolph is almost the only one the Grizzlies can rely on.

But Randolph's offensive ability is obviously not as high as Duncan Driver's, and his stability is also a bit lacking.

This also leads to the fact that even if the opponent launches a wave of offense, it is difficult for the Grizzlies to match it. They can only rely on defense and hard work inside to eat away at the opponent's advantage.

The development of the game was just as they expected, and the Pacers' offensive momentum began to increase.

George scored 3 points with consecutive free throws, and Tony Allen returned the same;

West scored with an inside jump shot, and Arthur responded with a successful throw.

"clang!"

The two sides exchanged a wave of strikes, and George grabbed the rebound.

"Quick attack!"

Augustin caught the ball and immediately passed it to West who was following up. West made a feint shot and passed it to Qi Tian on the outside.

Qi Tian looked down and saw that he was indeed outside the three-point line, and then he took a jump shot.

"Whoosh!"

The crisp sound of a basketball passing through the net lets Grizzlies fans know what despair is.

"76-82."

In the last two minutes, the Pacers led their opponents by 6 points.

"Substitute!"

Hollins immediately replaced Marc Gasol. If Gasol doesn't play, I'm afraid he won't need to play later.

"Three points, three points is right!"

Brian Shaw felt excited.

The Grizzlies' offense is weak. Not only the Grizzlies know it, but the Pacers also know it.

Now the lead has reached 6 points, and the Grizzlies need at least three rounds to tie. This is quite a pressure in the last two minutes of the game.

As he expected, the Grizzlies' offensive pressure was quite high, but Randolph, who returned to the power forward position, was very comfortable and directly caused West's foul and went to the free throw line.

"There's a lot of offensive pressure, but you still have to defend well!"

Under pressure, head coach Hollins made a choice and replaced Ellington with Tony Allen.

"clang!"

"Whoosh!"

Pacers fans waited happily for the result, Randolph made one of two free throws.

I chased him, but not too much.

"77-82."

"Give me!"

George asked for the ball from the high post, and when Augustin was about to pass the ball, Conley suddenly appeared and completed the steal!

"What?!"

At this moment, Pacers fans miss George Hill and even Collison very much.

But the Pacers still quickly returned to defense, with Qitian George following closely behind Tony Allen and Conley.

Conley broke through to attract the defense and passed back to Guy who was following up. At this time, Qi Tian had already jumped up. Unable to resist gravity, he could only helplessly fall down and watch Guy jump up.

"There's me too!"

As the Grizzlies fans looked on with joy, Hibbert actually followed from behind, and when Gay took action, he sent a big shot from behind!

"nice shot!"

Pacers fans shook their fists and applauded Hibbert's performance.

The Pacers, who protected the rebounds, started another round of offense.

Hibbert's confident inside singles failed in front of Gasol. The basketball jumped out of the frame and was won by Randolph.

"Hiss~~~"

The Pacers fans who were still happy just now looked at Hibbert who missed the opportunity and didn't know what to say.

It's okay to say that he didn't play well, but the block just now was from him;

But he said he was playing well, and then he attacked the iron.

Randolph made a fierce attack inside, drew a foul and went to the free throw line again, making two free throws steadily.

"79-82."

Less than a minute of game time, a 3-point advantage.

Hibbert was not the only one who wanted to make things happen. George took the ball from the outside and had an idea in his mind:

If I hit a three-pointer, wouldn't it kill the game?

Just as he thought, George waved to his teammates, and then broke through one after another. After getting rid of Gay, he directly shot a long three-pointer.

"What?"

Seeing the basketball flying towards the basket, the Pacers fans were stunned at first, and then overjoyed.

"Come in, come in, come in!"

But basketball is obviously not voice-controlled.

"clang!"

Conley rushed in to grab the long rebound and turned around for a fast break.

"Dudu!"

West opened his hand to block the shot, but was hit by Conley, and the referee called a foul.

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

"81-82."

Conley made two solid free throws to help the Grizzlies narrow the point difference to 1 point in the last 41 seconds.

"I am!"

Everyone who follows the game knows that the next 41 seconds are the most critical moment for both teams.

"This point guard is worthy of note."

Popovich looked at Conley, who contributed the key score, thoughtfully.

The Grizzlies' twin towers of Randolph and Gasol have made all opponents miserable. Their weakness lies in the outside. Tony Allen is a standard defensive-first player, and his offensive shooting skills are somewhat accurate.

Other than that, there are almost no advantages.

Gay is not the kind of player who can rely on defense to change the opponent's defense, so only point guards are left.

Now Conley's performance proves that they at least have a point guard who can contribute energy at critical moments, which makes Popovich very afraid.

You know, the cooperation between the point guard and the inside line has always been the Spurs' unique skill. No one knows better than them how well a good guard can fully utilize the strength of the inside line.

"Give me!"

Qi Tian received the pass, then broke through the defense and rushed in.

Now Gasol still has 5 fouls. If it can cause the opponent to leave the game with full fouls, it will be acceptable to the Pacers.

Sure enough, Gasol didn't defend like before. Instead, Conley rushed in and cut off Qi Tian's shot first.

"Dudu!"

The referee flagged Conley for a foul. Since the Grizzlies had already committed an astonishing 10 fouls, Qi Tian went to the free throw line.

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

Qi Tian also made two free throws steadily.

"81-84."

In the last 29 seconds, the Pacers opened the point difference to an abominable 3 points.

The Grizzlies naturally don't know how to shoot three-pointers. Conley broke through quickly, faced Augustin's defense, and succeeded in a jump shot.

"83-84."

The only problem is that there are only 16 seconds left in the game.

In other words, as long as the Pacers use up the last time, they can ensure victory.

"Substitute!"

The head coaches of both teams requested substitutions at the same time, replacing big centers Gasol Jr. and Hibbert, and replacing Arthur and Hansbrough with faster feet.

The Pacers ran quickly and obviously took time, so the Grizzlies had no choice but to foul.

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

Qi Tian made a steady hit and added a free throw. The Grizzlies had no choice but to shoot a three-pointer.

Gay and Conley missed their three-pointers, but George made two free throws again, completely killing the game.

"83-88."

A very atypical scoring pattern, heralding the victory of the Pacers at home.

"This Grizzly Bear's offense is really bad!"

Hu Yingzhe finally waited until the game was over and couldn't help but yawn.

"Ha~~I'm so sleepy!"
