Basketball Legends: Strikers Are King

"That's right!"

"Isn't that too accurate?"

"Can you really make a comeback?"

The fans screamed as they looked at Qi Tian, ​​who had already scored 14 points in the fourth quarter.

"Don't worry!"

"Don't give them a chance!"

There was excitement on the sidelines, but the people on the court were very calm. Paul and Kobe shouted out in unison, comforting their teammates and saying,

"We still have an advantage!"

Kobe glanced at Paul happily, feeling regretful in his heart.

Nitrogen Tomb, I wish I could have completed that deal. Paul is much better than Nash.

Griffin, who was still a little nervous at first, immediately understood.

Yes, although the Eastern Conference narrowed the point difference to 2 points, it was already too late. As long as the Western Conference controlled the time, they could secure the victory.

"Then be careful..."

Griffin suddenly thought of something and turned to look at Howard.

The Eastern Conference has one and only one way to use foul tactics. At this time, asking Paul Kobe to shoot free throws is definitely not as good as asking Howard to shoot free throws.

What he thought of, Nigro also wanted, so he applied for a substitution and directly replaced Duncan.

Duncan's free throw shooting percentage this season has even stabilized at 80%, which is more accurate than ordinary guards, and much better than Howard, who barely maintains around 50%.

"Then there's nothing we can do."

Watching his opponent apply for a substitution, Wade knew that today was probably a long shot, especially after Griffin, who shot less than 70% of his free throws, was replaced by Harden, so he completely gave up on taking chances.

"Dudu!"

Paul ran back to catch the ball, and then was fouled by Wade in front of him and walked to the free throw line.

"Whoosh!"

Paul steadily hit the first free throw, and Spoelstra became nervous on the sidelines.

Paul's free throw increased the Western Conference's lead to 3 points, and also left the Eastern Conference with only one option - shooting a three-pointer.

There are two options for shooting three-pointers. One is to run directly from the backcourt for a long distance, but time is tight;

The other is to call a timeout when serving from the backcourt, and serve in the midfield after arranging tactics.

The advantage of the Eastern Conference is that Wade, Qi Tian, ​​James and Anthony are all capable of three-pointers at the back and forward, but the opponent's perimeter defense is not bad either. If you want to win, you may have to get lucky.

"But...the opponent's Duncan is slow and Harden's defense..."

Spoelstra looked at Harden on the sidelines, lost in thought.

I heard that his defense is not very good?

Maybe we can make use of these two people.

But this was just an idea. Western Conference head coach Nigro asked for substitutions again during the interval between Paul's free throws. Griffin and Howard, who had inaccurate free throws but were extremely athletic, returned to the court.

"Whoosh!"

Paul made no mistake and extended the advantage to 4 points.

"141-145."

This time Spoelstra did not hesitate. The moment Wade caught the ball in the backcourt, he called a timeout.

"The opponent's choice must be to shoot a three-pointer!"

Nigro looked at the team members who were temporarily under his command and said,

"The next defense is to defend one from the other and not give the opponent a chance to take action!"

"If Garnett comes up to pick and roll inside, then delay the inside and wait for the outside to be in place. If someone else picks and rolls, give priority to individual defense, otherwise switch defenses."

He wanted to lay out a careful defensive strategy, but the players came from four teams and five camps, and single defense was almost the only defensive tactic that was trustworthy.

"Especially No. 7, we need to keep a close eye on him."

Kobe nodded. His opponent had made consecutive three-pointers just now, which made him lose face. Now he must not let his opponent make another shot.

"The pause is over!"

The fans watched the game continue with some anticipation and nervousness. Will there be any miracle in the last 16.9 seconds?

"5,4..."

The referee handed the ball to Garnett on the outside, and then the countdown began.

The eight people on the field immediately started running.

"No chance?"

Garnett looked at the Western Conference team that was chasing after them. He was not surprised but happy. He ignored the coach's instructions to pass to Wade or James, and directly passed it to Qi Tian who ran out!

Kobe is guarding you, right? It will make you look like an adult!

"What?"

Coach Spoelstra frowned, but when he saw Qi Tian catching the ball, the timer started counting down quickly.

"We must take action as soon as possible!"

Qi Tian didn't have time to think about why the ball was in his hands. He quickly turned around, looked at the basket, and jumped up.

"Are you going to take action now?"

Kobe didn't have time to think about it. He instinctively straightened his arms and jumped up at the same time as Qi Tian jumped up, preparing to block the shot.

"That's it!"

Qi Tian knew that his fake moves might not be able to dazzle his opponent, so he used his real jump to dazzle his opponent. However, the direction of his jump was not upward, but diagonally backward.

"What?"

Kobe jumped to the highest point only to find that the distance between his opponent and him was getting farther and farther, and he was a little surprised.

Taking advantage of this rare opportunity, Qi Tian leaned back and threw the basketball in his hand, and then fell to the floor.

"Stock!"

Paul took the lead to block Wade and looked towards the basket. Griffin and Howard were already ready to grab the rebound.

"Whoosh!"

The net trembled slightly, and the basketball fell accurately from the center.

"144-145."

"11.6 seconds."

The sixth three-pointer in the Eastern Conference, the point difference is only 1 point!

"Ha~~"

"Me Zefa?!!"

Even die-hard Eastern Conference fans gasped in disbelief.

You know, in the last two and a half minutes, the Eastern Conference was still 10 points behind. Who would have thought that in the last ten seconds, only 1 point would be left?

"Is this a three-pointer?"

George was also shocked off the court. Qi Tian worked hard to practice three-pointers on weekdays. He thought Qi Tian was planning to transform and open up space for himself, but he did not expect that the three-pointers would be accurate and there would be such exaggeration.

The speed of chasing points.

"pause!"

Although Nigro believed that Paul could stabilize the situation like he did with the Clippers, after all, they were chased by their opponents for 9 points in a row, so they thought of using a timeout to interrupt the opponent's offensive rhythm.

"Control time!"

As expected of a team, Nigro quickly made an arrangement that best suited Paul's character.

In just ten seconds, if the Eastern Conference wants to make a comeback, it can't sit back and wait for the Western Conference to get the ball. It can just make free throws when the time comes.

So Nigro replaced Harden and Duncan again.

"5,4..."

The referee started counting down again, and this time it was Duncan who served.

"Give me!"

Paul ran out to catch the ball. He took the ball to the top of the key and waited for his opponent to make a move.

Wade, who was following the defense, kept trying to cut the ball. When he found that his opponent was not fooled, he surrounded him and prepared to foul.

Paul put the basketball in his hand back, preparing to take a free throw to determine victory.

But just before Wade stepped forward to foul, Paul's hand was empty, and the basketball was stolen by Qi Tian who jumped out from beside him!

"Chance!"

There was not much time left, and Qi Tian, ​​who had no time to change direction, did not wait for Kobe to come up and counterattack, handed the ball backhand to Wade who ran out, and rushed out of bounds himself.

Wade rushed out decisively and made an easy layup in front of everyone.

"Dang, swish!"

"Dudududu!"

"146-145."

Wade's buzzer-beater!

East wins!

"Victory!!!"

"We won!"

The Eastern team's bench and fans were in chaos and cheered.
