Basketball Legends: Strikers Are King

It was the Pacers' turn to attack, and Qi Tian came to the outside to catch the ball.

"I'll do it!"

It can be said that he was very excited that his opponent was the Splash Brothers. Although he was a youth version, Qi Tian decided to challenge his opponent with a three-pointer.

He broke through one after another, then suddenly collected the ball and shot a three-pointer in front of Thompson.

"clang!"

To the disappointment of Pacers fans, Qi Tian's three-pointer did not hit.

"What's going on? Is it the All-Star break?"

"It's possible. After all, it's been two or three days since the main game. Do you think you won't know your last name after winning an entertainment award?!"

Amid all the doubts, David Lee grabbed the rebound and passed it to Curry on the outside.

"It's fast attack again!"

Except for a few teams such as Howard's Magic and Heat, Pacers fans have never seen anyone dare to run a fast break against the extremely fast home team, so they quickly supported the home team.

"Guard it!"

They didn't need to say anything. Hill stood up first. He didn't allow himself to be a breakthrough in the lineup. He followed Curry closely, made quick moves, and stole the opponent!

"seven!"

Without stopping the ball, Hill raised his hand and passed the basketball to Qi Tian, ​​who had not yet run out. Qi Tian caught the ball and broke through quickly. Taking advantage of the fact that the Warriors' defensive formation was not formed, he easily made a layup.

"7-4."

"The opponent's interior defense is not strong."

In just a few rounds, the Warriors' internal defensive problems were almost exposed.

Warriors head coach Mark Jackson frowned slightly, but had nothing to do.

David Lee focuses on offense but not defense. Although he has a keen sense of rebounding, he really can't guard West in one-on-one defense;

Biedrins can defend several Hibbert singles. He is a very suitable center for the Warriors. He used to be a center, but now Biedrins, who has declined seriously, can only barely act as a functional player. It is impossible to expect him to do so.

Even more, although his annual salary of 9 million makes coaches and fans expect him to do more.

"Tsk, it would be great if the Thunder agreed to accept Biedrins' contract."

Mark Jackson said regretfully.

Last summer, the Thunder were open to the Warriors trading Thompson for Harden, but the Thunder did not want Biedrins, who would come with Thompson, so they made the deal with the Rockets.

As expected, the weakness inside was exposed later. Qi Tian defended Thompson's jump shot and George missed the jump shot. However, Hibbert grabbed the offensive rebound. He followed suit this time, feinted a shot, and assisted West.

Score.

"7-6."

Barnes broke through the inside and was intercepted by West, but West's offense failed. Instead, the Warriors' fast break succeeded with Thompson's assist to David Lee, opening the score again.

“Does the Warriors want to play uptempo with us?”

Vogel quickly sensed his opponent's intentions. Both Biedrins and David Lee were not slow. The Warriors' fast break could indeed greatly weaken the Pacers' inside advantage and consume Hibbert.

physical strength.

Not only in the fast break, Barnes, who has good passing ability, also showed his effect, breaking out of Curry in the corner, and Curry hit a three-pointer.

"12-6."

“Isn’t this okay?!”

The Pacers were a little anxious. George wanted the ball and directly hit Barnes alone.

Although Barnes is not inferior to George in size, he is still a rookie after all. He was easily shaken by George and made a pull-up jump shot.

"12-8."

Curry caught the ball in the backcourt and was about to catch the Pacers off guard, but his intention was seen through by Qi Tian. Qi Tian came up and quickly stole Curry and threw it directly to George on the other side.

"Good brother!"

George was overjoyed, took the basketball, quickly shook off David Lee, rushed into the basket, turned around and scored a dunk.

"12-10."

"Too strong!"

"They are indeed the two heroes of our Pacers!"

The fans immediately cheered for George who gave a wonderful performance.

It’s just that it’s easy to get carried away when one is too proud. After Curry assisted Barnes to score, David Lee stole the ball from George who broke through, turned his head and caused Hill to foul, and went to the free throw line.

"Whoosh!"

"clang!"

"15-10."

David Lee made one of two free throws to give the Warriors the lead again. Fortunately, the Pacers did not let the rebound slip away. Hill took the ball and assisted Hibbert to score, helping the team cling to the score.

"Harrison!"

Curry used the pick-and-roll to break through, pass the ball to Barnes in the bottom corner, and assist Barnes to hit a long three-pointer.

"18-12."

"Is three points so accurate?"

George felt dissatisfied, and then wanted to hit his opponent back from outside the three-point line.

The basketball drew a beautiful arc, flew towards the basket, and made a loud sound:

"clang!"

Hibbert jumped up hard, grabbed the offensive rebound, turned around and passed it to George on the outside.

One more?

George wanted to prove himself, but after hesitation, he passed the ball to Qi Tian at the top of the arc. Qi Tian received the ball and shot a long three-pointer.

"Whoosh!"

Qi Tian finally opened his account with a three-pointer, and the basketball was hollow.

"18-15."

"It's really accurate!"

Curry saw that Qi Tian's three-pointer had been opened, and the fighting spirit was ignited in his heart. He was about to return one from the outside, but saw David Lee reaching for the ball inside. He hesitated and passed the basketball in.

Although the Warriors have corrected Curry, their current tactical core is David Lee, an inside man who entered the All-Star this year.

West faced a challenge, and when David Lee turned around, he cut the ball. Although he failed to cut it, the basketball still flew out of the baseline.

"Out of bounds!"

The referee signaled that the basketball was out of bounds and the ball was awarded to the Pacers.

"Give me!"

George seemed to have found the feeling and quickly came to the outside to ask for the ball. Then, just like the All-Stars, he broke through and passed the ball to the bottom corner. Qi Tian ran to the position to catch the ball and shot another three-pointer.

"Whoosh!"

Enter again!

"18-18."

In just one minute, the Pacers equalized the score.

"Good shot, so accurate!"

The performance of Qitian and George immediately caused the fans on the sidelines to exclaim.

"I didn't expect they had such chemistry?!"

Brian Shaw was also very surprised.

All along, the Pacers have been using a tactic of Hill holding the ball as the main organization, Hibbert squatting inside, and the other three creating opportunities.

In other words, Qitian and George have no direct connection with each other.

But now, George has shown that he has some coordination ability, which is enough for the Pacers to design a tactic to maximize the use of George. After all, Hill can also appear as an end point.

The richness of offensive tactics determines the team's upper limit to a certain extent.

"Perhaps, Qi Tian and George can also cooperate with each other?"

Brian Shaw immediately thought that Qi Tian also had the ability to respond. In his excitement, he wanted to open the tactical board on the spot and draw some of his tactics for the two of them.

After the Pacers tied the score, they regained their momentum. Although Thompson and David Lee scored consecutively, Qi Tian and Hill also succeeded in attacking the basket. The score between the two sides kept rising.
