Basketball Legends: Strikers Are King

The thoughts of Bobcat fans were not unreal. Walker then stole Stephenson and led the team to expand the lead to 5 points at the halfway mark of the third quarter.

Warrick caused a foul on Stephenson and made two free throws.

"56-51."

"Charlotte, go for it!"

Bobcat fans were overjoyed and rushed to cheer for the team.

The Pacers on the other side were a little at a loss.

I originally thought that the team could easily defeat their opponents if they took it seriously, but I didn't expect that not only the fans were careless, but the players were also careless.

"If I lose today's game, then I..."

The indignant fans instinctively wanted to look for George, but found that George, who had used his super ghost performance to attract firepower, did not appear today. They immediately turned their guns and looked at Qi Tian.

"We have long said that Asians are not good, look at that No. 7, he couldn't score 10 points in two half-times, and you still expect him to take action in the third quarter? How many points did he score?"

"That's right, what's the talk of a double striker? At this level, I'd better just be a shooter and stand on the outside!"

"Although I am a neutral fan, sometimes I feel sorry for George. With this ability, it would be fine to serve as Granger's deputy. Why is Granger injured and George cannot get the ball and can only rely on defense to stand out?"

ah?"

"Yes, yes, I feel heartbroken when I see George trying his best in the past few games but still losing."

Only some real old fans looked on with cold eyes.

"It seems that after the results are good, the composition of the fans has become more complicated. I heard that Korean fans have a name called Du Wei, and they are not much different from Du Wei."

"Yeah, even though they are having fun now, they are actually just trying to attract the players they like. Do you feel sorry for the players who earn millions of dollars a year? They really do."

Qi Tian came to the outside line, received the pass, looked at his teammates, and thought to himself:

"It's time to take action!"

The Bobcats have allowed their main players to play for too long now, and what Qi Tian has to do is to add fuel to their fire.

"Pick and roll!"

Qi Tian reached out and called for a pick-and-roll. To his surprise, the person he called was not West, but Hill.

"Um?"

Kemba Walker came up and after switching defense, he knew his opponent's plan.

"Are you going to fight me alone?"

Kemba Walker smiles instead of angry,

"I really feel like I've made a loophole. Don't forget, you were in college, but you were a substitute!"

Qi Tian dribbled the ball slowly, and Walker pushed away Henderson, who wanted to switch defense, and came to Qi Tian alone, preparing to defend.

Kemba Walker's confidence is not without its source. Although his height and weight are not as good as Qi Tian's, his lower body is stable and fast. He believes that as long as he blocks Qi Tian's lower body like Tony Allen, he can completely defend his opponent.

If you want to beat me physically, I'm afraid you're overthinking it.

As expected, Walker used his own speed to quickly move sideways and continuously blocked Qi Tian's breakthroughs.

Qi Tian smiled slightly, broke through quickly, and used his body to squeeze Walker away, but Walker returned to defense in time and followed immediately.

Qi Tian jumped up forcefully and threw the basketball in the air.

"clang!"

Walker could swear that the sound of hammering was the most pleasant sound he had ever heard.

But Qi Tian didn't think that the blacksmith was the end of the round. He took advantage of Walker's turning head and immediately rushed in, grabbed the offensive rebound, and was about to tip the ball in.

"What?"

Walker was shocked and quickly stepped forward to defend.

He was indeed very fast, but when he jumped to defend Qi Tian, ​​his height and wingspan were at a disadvantage, and he hit Qi Tian's arm instead.

"Dudu!"

The referee immediately blew the whistle, indicating that Walker's thug had committed a foul and was sent to the free throw line.

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

Qi Tian easily made two free throws.

"56-53."

Qi Tian's little plan to consume Walker's physical strength could not escape the coach's eyes. Bobcats head coach Deng Lunpo immediately gave instructions on the sidelines:

"Pick and roll as soon as possible to pursue the defense, don't let him play out of position!"

Kemba Walker is the absolute core in this game and is already firing on all cylinders on the offensive end. The Bobcats don't want him to consume too much energy on the defensive end.

Biyombo fouled inside and lost the chance to open up the score. Qi Tian's outside long shot missed, but Hibbert grabbed the offensive rebound and handed it over to his teammates to organize a second attack.

"Or is Qi Tian the main attack?"

Facing the second outside pick-and-roll called by Qi Tian, ​​the Bobcats were not fooled. Henderson quickly pursued the defense and returned to Qi Tian.

But Qi Tian took advantage of Henderson's pounce to break through quickly, rushed into the basket to attract the defense, and jumped inside to pass West to score.

"56-55."

The Pacers' steady pursuit of points made the Bobcats a little anxious. In addition, Walker, who was trying his best to protect him, was out of breath and obviously exhausted. The head coach made a decision and replaced Walker and the inexperienced Biyombo as the substitute center***.

Enter Ben Gordon.

He did not expect that this substitution would become a key decision for the Bobcats in this game, and the outcome would be clear.

Without Biyombo, the jumping man inside, the Bobcats no longer have the ability to limit West.

Qi Tian and West looked at each other and had a tacit understanding.

After Henderson made a jumper, Qi Tian quickly dribbled through, attracted the defense, and passed to West who followed up, assisting West for an easy layup.

"56-57."

"The ability to seize opportunities and pass the ball is quite strong!"

West high-fived Qi Tian and retreated, feeling a hint of appreciation in his heart.

Your performance during a fast break is almost a reflection of a player's ability. After all, as you watch the basket getting closer and closer to you, the quick decisions you make are a reflection of your own personality.

George loves dunking because he likes this eye-catching feeling. A beautiful dunk from behind is the best way.

But in other words, it is difficult for George like this to take on the responsibility of commanding the team. He only has eyes for the basket and no teammates. Isn't this just one-armed?

Qi Tian is different. He seems to prefer assisting his teammates and allowing them to score. This reminds West of his former teammate Paul.

"It's just...if my scoring ability cannot be improved, even if I can share the ball, it may not be useful for winning the game."

West felt an inexplicable sense of crisis.

This feeling was something he had when he was with the Hornets.

At that time, the Hornets led by Paul, West and Chandler, although the overall strength was very average, and it was common for them to enter the playoffs, it was very difficult to go further, which is why West wanted to leave.

He used to be puzzled, but now that he sees "Little Paul", West understands.

If a team has outstanding strengths and is strong overall, then this team does have the potential to become a top team;

But for a team without outstanding strengths, no matter how strong its overall strength is, if it fails at critical moments, it will become their nightmare. And in the playoffs, critical moments are absolutely indispensable.

The real civilian team, so far, is the 2004 Pistons who won the championship. The Hornets can't go further, so there is an explanation.
