Basketball Legends: Strikers Are King

"What?"

Speights' inevitable shot was blocked by Qi Tian. He hurriedly turned around to grab the rebound, but was still taken down by Mahinmi who jumped up first and handed it to Qi Tian next to him.

"Nitrogen Tomb!"

Seeing his opponent quickly dribbling the ball for a fast break, Speights could only move his feet and defend behind his opponent.

"Defend!"

Grizzlies fans at the scene anxiously shouted in support of the home team.

Conley, Bayless and Ellington had already rushed back, and they followed the Pacers after halftime in an orderly manner, without missing anyone.

"Discipline, this is the Grizzlies' weapon."

Vogel sighed softly on the sidelines.

The opponent's defense during a fast break is the moment that best demonstrates the team's defensive skills.

The Grizzlies have proven that they can become the league's top defensive team, not only by the starter, but also by the entire team.

"No chance!"

The Grizzlies' quick defense prevented the Pacers' fast break from happening. West came to the frontcourt, ready to ask for the ball.

"Yes, yes, just be steady!"

The Pacers fans immediately felt relieved when they saw West stand up.

There are many young players in the Pacers' lineup, but they still need a veteran to control the rhythm at critical moments. In the past, this person was Granger, and now it is West.

Ellington thought the same way. He could feel his opponent's rhythm changing from fast to slow, so he took the time to look back and take a look at his opponent's formation.

"Chance!"

But Qi Tian on the outside did not rush to pass the ball. When Ellington turned his head, he decisively collected the ball and retreated, taking a quick shot from outside the three-point line!

"Whoosh!"

Under Ellington's watch, the basketball hit the ball hollowly.

"32-33."

"…ohhhh!!"

The Pacers fans, who had been holding their breath when they saw Qi Tian taking action, immediately came to life and cheered to cheer Qi Tian.

But Qi Tian did not relax. Ellington's dribbling was interfered by Qi Tian, ​​and he could only hastily pass the ball to Arthur inside. Arthur's shot was blocked by West.

"rebound!"

The basketball failed to reach its end point and fell slumped, and everyone under the basket immediately scrambled into a ball.

In the chaos, Bayless actually grabbed the rebound!

"Oops!"

Augustin quickly chased his opponent, and Bayless naturally planned to take advantage of the opponent's chaotic formation to quickly break through and score.

It’s Qi Tian again!

He quickly retreated to the basket, giving Bayless an idea to cover up. The moment Bayless released the ball, he quickly and accurately predicted and completed the steal.

"Quick attack!"

Qi Tian broke through with the ball, cut into the basket from the right, and passed the ball to West who followed up. West easily made a layup.

"34-33."

The Pacers overtook the score!

Although Speights assisted Bayless to score, West made another layup under the basket, helping the Pacers maintain their lead.

"Substitute!"

Halfway through the second quarter, Hollins requested a substitution and replaced Tony Allen, Randolph and Marc Gasol. Vogel on the other side also replaced Hill and Hibbert.

Another head-on confrontation.

"Boy, you are very powerful,"

As soon as Tony Allen came on the court, he started talking trash to Qi Tianbiao.

"But unfortunately, with me here, I won't let you score easily anymore."

Qi Tian didn't reply, because Tony Allen's words were really not just trash talk, he had the strength.

Tony Allen's defense does not need to be described in detail with his excellent lateral speed and strength, precise steals, or performance in marking Durant.

Moreover, he did keep chasing Qi Tian in the first quarter, following the running Qi Tian, ​​and did not give Qi Tian any chance to take an open shot.

In the first quarter of the game, under the defense of Tony Allen, Qi Tian made all three-point shots. In the second quarter, Qi Tian only took advantage of the opportunity when Allen was off the court to perform.

"However, the more this happens, the more motivated I am to fight!"

Qi Tian grabbed the defensive rebound and brought the ball to the frontcourt.

"Give me!"

Hill came to the outside to ask for the ball, but unexpectedly Qi Tian didn't pass it.

"Singles?"

Hill glanced at Tony Allen nervously and quickly came to the corner to create space for Qi Tian.

According to the tactics arranged by the coach, Hill controlled the ball and Qi Tian used his movement to get rid of Tony Allen. This was the right way. However, Qi Tian found that he really couldn't get rid of his opponent and could only choose the second-best solution - singles.

"Oh!"

Tony Allen smiled disdainfully, I can even guard against Durant, am I still afraid of you?

Qi Tian quickly dribbled the ball to break through, and Tony Allen quickly moved laterally to keep up, but halfway, he bumped into West.

"Now!"

Qi Tian knew that the opportunity was rare, so he dribbled quickly to break through, rushed towards the basket, faced his opponent, and forced a layup.

"Crack!"

The basketball flies out.

"Dudu!"

The referee blew the whistle and sent Qi Tian to the free throw line.

"clang!"

"Whoosh!"

Qi Tian made one of two free throws and steadily rewritten the score to "37-35".

It's just that the power of the Black and White Bears is endless. Under Randolph's defense, West hit the ball one after another. Fortunately, the Grizzlies' own offense was also very anxious. The score remained unchanged for the next minute.

"clang!"

Tony Allen hit a jumper and the rebound was collected by George.

"Quick attack!"

George shouted and rushed out at the lead, followed closely by Qi Tianxier.

Guy stood firmly in a favorable position in front of George and continued to confront him from the side.

"seven?"

George looked for Qi Tian, ​​only to find that Tony Allen had put even more defensive pressure on Qi Tian and had already forced Qi Tian to a stop. Hill was not much better.

"Then just do it yourself!"

George gritted his teeth and forcibly overtook Guy. After confronting his opponent, he drifted in the air and threw the basketball.

"Dangdang, swish!"

The basketball bounced twice and finally fell in.

"39-35."

Grizzlies head coach Hollins frowned. He did not expect that during the stalemate, the Pacers took the initiative and gradually opened up the score.

"Can't you guard against anyone?"

Tony Allen glanced at Gay, but thinking that he was about to be traded away, he did not voice his complaints.

Gay's face was expressionless. He was not a fool. Just by looking at his teammates' eyes, he knew what Tony Allen wanted to say.

The Grizzlies still left it to Randolph to hit hard, but West jumped from the side and blocked Randolph's shot. Hill received the ball and attacked, making a pull-up jump shot.

"41-35."

"Give me!"

Gay ran out to catch the ball and directly deflected George to score, causing the Grizzlies fans to cheer.

"41-37."

"Hey, the one who scores the most consistently in this starting lineup is Rudy Gay!"

"But... his defense is basically at the bottom with Conley? Conley can still get help from the inside as a point guard. If the front line can't be guarded, Randolph can't help him!"

"To be honest, with George's physique, it will be the same for anyone trying to defend him, right?"

Gay's fans want to argue.

"But Tony Allen can guard Durant."

The companion next to him once again won the game.
