Basketball Legends: Strikers Are King

"38-36."

West made two free throws steadily. He had a strong presence in the paint and completely withstood the Warriors' impact.

Curry caught the ball and shot, but George interfered and missed.

"clang!"

George turned around to collect the rebound. With his height of more than two meters and thick body, he was very convenient when hitting the rebound.

"Boss Danny!"

George had no intention of taking action himself, and passed the ball directly to Granger who ran to the frontcourt, and there was a Joger connection.

As expected, Granger failed to get rid of Jack's pursuit, but he relied on his physical fitness to crush Jack and force a layup.

"Dudu!"

The referee decisively called Jack a foul and sent Granger to the free throw line.

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

Amid the cheers of the fans at the scene, Granger made two free throws.

"38-38."

The Pacers equalized the score.

"Handsome!"

The fans on the sidelines cheered immediately.

"They're all back!"

"Substitute!"

Mark Jackson also requested a substitution, and Barnes came on to counter the opponent's forward line.

George's defense was still strong. Thompson's jump shot failed to hit. Granger steadily collected the rebound and turned around to pass it to his teammates.

Augustin gave West the follow-up assist and assisted West to hit the ball, completing the lead.

"38-40."

West stole Curry while on defense. Mahinmi caused Curry a foul on the fast-break Pacers and made two free throws.

"38-42."

Taking advantage of Mahinmi's free throw, Vogel finally made a substitution, replacing Hill and Qi Tian.

"Coach, are you going to replace Danny the boss now?"

The Pacers fans were immediately furious and accused the coach.

"Yes, yes, Boss Danny is about to lead the team to overtake, you come to the starting line to pick the fruit?!"

However, their complaints did not affect the court. The Pacers all started the game, but the Warriors on the other side did not replace Biedrins, but used Landry and David Lee to play together inside.

Only two 206cm inside lines?

"Wouldn't this turn them upside down?"

Hibbert was overjoyed.

The Pacers decisively strengthened their interior offense, with West and Hibbert scoring consecutive interior goals, while the Warriors relied on Landry to attack the interior and cling to the score.

Qi Tian feinted a shot, tricked Thompson, and passed to George who was cutting through the air. George scored a layup.

West completed the steal inside and received a pass from Hill to score his 10th point of the quarter.

"41-46."

From being 6 points behind, to overtaking by 6 points, and finally falling behind by 5 points, this series of changes actually only took 8 minutes.

Thompson's outside long shot was interfered by Qi Tian and missed. The Pacers relied on Qi Tian and West's scores to widen the point difference in one fell swoop.

"41-50."

"It seems that this lineup is too early."

Mark Jackson's lineup combination failed, so he had to replace Biedrins honestly.

"Isn't this coach an idiot? He left Landry on the court without a big center, but now there are only 3 minutes left in the first half and he has replaced Biedrins?"

In a rare move, fans of both teams complained about the rotation of head coaches.

Of course, this can also be contradicted by the fact that the head coaches of both teams are good at adjusting defense but not good at offense.

After all, smooth offense still has too many advantages compared to thankless defense.

Curry's jump shot missed, and George turned around to collect the rebound and immediately handed it to Qi Tian.

"Quick attack!"

Thompson, Barnes and others immediately returned to defense. Seeing Qi Tian's breakthrough, they quickly surrounded him.

Qi Tian smiled slightly and used his right hand to give the ball to Hibbert who was following up. Hibbert was overjoyed and hit David Lee with a heavy dunk.

"41-52."

"roar!"

Hibbert finally vented his energy, raised his arms and roared, which immediately caused cheers from the fans on the sidelines.

The Warriors made Qi Tian a foul due to Barnes and made two free throws to stabilize the situation.

Hibbert frantically demanded the ball inside, preparing to beat Biedrins in singles to avenge his previous humiliation.

"Pull away!"

Hibbert shouted to his teammates, then lowered his center of gravity and relied on playing the Warriors' starting center.

"Turn around and throw!"

Biedrins had figured out the pattern of his opponent's shots and jumped to interfere. As expected, Hibbert's shot missed.

"clang!"

"rebound!"

The fans shouted.

Hibbert stretched out his long arms, grabbed the offensive rebound, and then made a tip-in.

David Lee next to him quickly jumped up and blocked his opponent again!

"Chance!"

Curry got the basketball and started a fast break, causing Hill to foul and go to the free throw line.

"Mad, Hibbert, isn't this a mess?"

The Pacers fans who were still discussing immediately turned their guns on Hibbert, who had an inaccurate positioning of himself.

"I've long been dissatisfied with his stupid look. He's so stupid!"

"What's the use of having such a big man, if you can't even make a floater?"

In the last two minutes, the Pacers still led by 9 points, which allowed the fans to settle down and focus on criticizing Hibbert.

Curry did not want to enter the second half with a disadvantage. He first hit a three-pointer, and then relied on his own speed to attack the basket consecutively. David Lee also hit a jumper. The Warriors played a 12-2 wave in the last 2 minutes, and they just won.

The point difference narrowed to 1 point.

"53-54."

"Dudu!"

When the referee blew the midfield whistle, the fans who came to Bankers Life Arena to support the Warriors immediately cheered and applauded Curry, who scored 23 points in the first half.

If you add in the at least 8 points he scored with 4 assists, more than half of the Warriors' 53 points in the half were related to Curry.

"Who says shooting can't win?"

Warriors fans looked at Curry walking towards the tunnel and shouted wildly,

"The body is not everything in basketball!"

"This is Curry!"

In the Pacers locker room.

"Roy, you have a big problem!"

Without waiting for the coach to speak, Granger took the lead and said to Hibbert,

"We clearly have the advantage in the paint, but we didn't show it in the rebounds. This is entirely your problem!"

Although Hibbert wants to compete for the position of the team boss inside, but that is also under the premise of Granger's absence. Now that Granger has returned, he has become the obedient little brother again.

"It's my problem. I will pay attention to it in the second half."

"besides……"

"besides?!"

Hibbert stared, and then Granger glared at him again.

"Of course there is, what, do you have any objections?"

"Of course not."

Hibbert listened to Granger's continued scolding with a frown on his face:

"Although you are a center, say it yourself, do you have the skills to attack in the low post? Is your success rate in the low post higher than that of your teammates?"

"Why...I've practiced a lot too."

Hibbert retorted without confidence.

"Then wait until you've finished practicing!"

Granger said,

"In the second half of the offense, you have to listen to Hill, uh, and Qi's command. If they give it to you, you play again. If they don't give it to you, just pick and roll. Do you understand?"

Hibbert whispered:

"clear!"

As expected of you!

George quietly showed his thumb, and Granger smiled happily.
