Basketball Legends: Strikers Are King

Seeing his opponent closing in on the score, Bosh asked for the ball inside for a single.

Hibbert immediately stepped forward to defend.

Feeling the force coming from behind, Bosh knew that it would be difficult to break into the paint, so he feinted a shot to deceive his opponent, and then made a layup.

Although Hibbert was staggered, his jumping height was not high. When he saw Bosh's jump shot, he immediately waved his hand and tried to block the shot.

"clang!"

The basketball hit the backboard and bounced out.

"Dudu!"

The referee pointed at Hibbert, indicating that it was his shooting foul.

"Two free throws!"

Bosh walked to the free throw line and made two steady free throws.

"11-14."

"Paul!"

Collison broke through the pick-and-roll and quickly found Paul George who was running. George hit a long three-pointer to tie the score. Then he took advantage of Bosh's jumper and Granger assisted West for a layup to score the go-ahead lead.

score.

"Give me!"

Seeing his opponent starting to counterattack, James quickly came to the outside to ask for the ball, and then began to play singles with the ball.

Bosh stepped forward to block Granger, and James quickly dribbled the ball through. Seeing West standing back, he made a decisive jump shot.

"Whoa!"

Basketball hollow hit.

Granger also received the pass from the outside and prepared to play singles with the ball.

"Pick and roll!"

Seeing James coming to defend, Granger hesitated and then called a pick-and-roll.

There is not much difference in height between Granger and James. At 103kg, he is 10kg lighter than his opponent. This does not mean that James is slower than Granger. On the contrary, Granger has no confidence that he can easily break through his opponent with his speed.

line of defense.

Seeing West blocking James, Bosh quickly switched to face Granger.

Granger tried to break through at speed, but was blocked by Bosh. He could only barely make a jump shot.

"Clang!"

The basketball jumped out of the hoop, but Bosh turned around to collect it and handed it to Chalmers.

It's still James who holds the ball in the high post and attacks.

Bosh stood in the high post and attracted West's defense. Joel Anthony, who was originally under the basket, immediately stepped forward to pick and roll.

James broke through the pick-and-roll and then passed the ball to Anthony who followed up, assisting his teammate for a layup.

The Pacers seemed very uncomfortable facing the Heat's defense, and their offense continued to fail.

Instead, James continued to attack and assisted Anthony to score 6 points in a row.

"16-22."

The score was getting bigger, and Brian Shaw and Vogel frowned on the sidelines.

In the original thinking of the coaching team, Granger and West's offense and defense had a chance to match James Bosh's forward combination, so that the Pacers, who were dominant inside, would have the upper hand.

But the game has never been a reasoning game. Granger and West did not meet expectations, and Hibbert's advantages were not used.

"We can only rely on outside lines."

Vogel looked at George and Collison and murmured to himself.

Now that Wade has retired from injury, it is difficult for the Pacers to gain an advantage. When Wade returns, I am afraid that the Pacers will no longer be their opponents.

Although there were only 3 minutes left in the first quarter, Vogel, who regarded this regular season as a playoff game, did not make substitutions easily and still retained the main lineup.

On the contrary, the Heat began to make changes, gradually replacing Shane Battier and Juwan Howard, and replacing Chalmers and Jones with Cole and Mike Miller.

"Coming!"

When he saw his opponent's lineup changed to James and four substitutes, Qi Tian knew that James' performance was about to begin.

The defensive intensity of NBA games is so high that a slight decrease in physical strength may affect one's performance. Physical problems have become a shackle for many stars to appear on the stage.

But there are always exceptions to everything. There is a type of player who is known as a stamina monster, who can solve his stamina problem by relying on his super long health bar.

Players such as Chamberlain and Iverson could play up to 40 minutes. Chamberlain even averaged 48.5 minutes per game in one season. In that season, he averaged 50 points and 25 rebounds per game.

James is also a physical monster.

When there were many stars in the starting lineup, he would focus on organization and be lazy. When the substitute lineup came on, he would start his own scoring mode to help the team survive the crisis when the substitute lineup was not as good as the opponent.

At the last moment of the first quarter, James successfully caused George's foul and the score was 2+1.

As James made the extra free throw, the Heat entered the second quarter with a 5-point lead 29-24.

"It's still okay, right?"

Seeing that the Pacers were only 5 points behind, Pacers fans felt that it was acceptable.

"Watch the second quarter of the game!"

They couldn't help but have higher expectations for the second quarter.

Compared with the Heat's weak bench lineup, the Pacers' George Hill, Hansbrough who was replaced from the starting lineup, Stephenson who has initially shown his strength, and Qi Tian who is worth looking forward to, Pacers fans believe that they are obviously

Will have a little advantage in the second quarter.

The game entered the second quarter, and even if Vogel didn't want to, he still replaced Hill, Deng Tai Jones, Hansbrough and Amandelson on the bench.

But considering that James was still there, Vogel kept George and asked George to focus on James.

Norris Cole, the 28th overall pick who was traded to the Heat, has grown rapidly and has become the team's preferred substitute defender. He breaks through with the ball and passes it back to James Jones on the outside.

Jones ignored the defense of Deng Tai Jones and directly shot a jumper from outside the three-point line.

"Whoa!"

Basketball hollow hit!

"24-32."

The score difference had reached 8 points, and Vogel gestured to Hill to let him attack the inside.

George ran to the corner and brought James with him. Hill broke through the pick-and-roll and came inside for a layup.

"clang!"

"Dudu!"

The moment the basketball bounced out of the frame, the referee blew the whistle, indicating that it was Bosh's foul.

"Two free throws!"

Hill made two free throws, narrowing the point difference again and reassuring the Pacers fans on the sidelines.

Bosh received the pass and then turned towards Hansbrough for a layup.

"Dudu!"

The referee pointed at Hansbrough, indicating that it was his shooting foul.

"Two free throws."

Bosh made two free throws to widen the point difference again.

Then the initiative on the court was in the hands of the Heat, and the lagging Pacers could only struggle to chase points.

George broke through and passed the ball to Amandasson, who was open under the basket. Amandasson dunked and dunked. He patted his chest hard, and Yang Tian roared.

"32-37."

Halfway through the second quarter, the Pacers stubbornly narrowed the point difference to 5 points.

"It's a beautiful thought."

James disagreed, broke through, and found James Jones on the outside again.

James Jones took a long shot from outside and scored his 11th point of the game.

"32-40."
