Basketball Legends: Strikers Are King

"Oops, George is on top."

Just through George's confident three-pointer, Qi Tian can guess George's current mentality.

But their important task right now is to defend against the Celtics' attack this time.

Jeff Green got the basketball and quickly dribbled the ball into the frontcourt.

"Give it to Pierce."

Green originally wanted to find Pierce first, but found that Pierce was following behind them, slowly walking over.

"He's also exhausted?"

Green didn't have time to think about it, and quickly broke through West's defense and rushed to the basket.

Qi Tian jumped out from behind him, raised his hand to try to block the shot, and successfully interfered with his opponent.

"Dangdang."

The basketball jumped out of the basket and was collected by Mahinmi.

"Counterattack!"

George made an instinctive decision, reached out to take the basketball, and was about to attack the Celtics' half again.

Just when he broke through to the frontcourt, Wilcox, who was following him, made a decisive move and completed the steal!

"hiss!!"

Brian Shaw, the chief assistant coach on the sidelines, felt that his blood pressure had risen a lot.

Brother, are you a striker or a small forward? When you dribble and break through, can you be intercepted by a center?

Wilcox had no time but was thinking about the Pacers assistant coach's thoughts. He quickly looked for his teammates and wanted to pass the ball out.

At this moment, Qi Tian suddenly jumped out and intercepted his opponent!

"Hold on!"

The Celtics retreated as if facing a formidable enemy, but Qi Tian did not rush to attack, but planned to stabilize the rhythm.

"It's more stable inside."

Qi Tian quickly used the pick-and-roll to break through, and passed it to Mahinmi who broke through. Mahinmi forced a layup. Although he missed, it caused a foul on Pierce.

"Substitute!"

When Mahinmi walked to the free throw line, Rivers requested a substitution and replaced Garnett again.

The Pacers also replaced Hill with Augustin in preparation for the fourth quarter.

"55-64."

Mahinmi made one of two free throws to help the team expand its lead again.

"The cavalry team, charge!"

The home Pacers fans immediately shouted loudly to cheer for the home team.

The two teams dedicated three rounds of hard work, and the game time quickly came to the last two minutes of the third quarter.

George noticed that his state was changing to the super ghost side, so he quickly distributed the ball to Qitian and assisted Qitian to score.

The Celtics responded with a three-pointer from Pierce, and the scores between the two teams continued to rise.

"58-68."

After three quarters, the Pacers led their opponents by 10 points entering the fourth quarter.

"Just take them away."

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Qi Tian looked at George and said.

Experience is indeed something they can't beat the Celtics now, so if they can gain an advantage, the Pacers will firmly grasp it and prevent their opponents from getting it.

"Blow them up!"

George walked onto the stage with confidence.

Seeing that his opponent had replaced Qitian and George at the beginning of the game, Rivers couldn't help but frowned.

The Pacers obviously planned to increase their intensity from the start. Even if the Celtics had guessed this, they would not have been able to replace Pierce and Garnett early. Otherwise, their physical strength would have been affected in the final quarter and they would have lost.

"We can only rely on Garnett to lead the team and hold on to the score."

Pierce looked at Garnett on the stage and said expectantly.

"Pull away!"

Qi Tian received the ball at the beginning and directly called a pick-and-roll, while others opened up space for him.

Mahinmi stepped forward to block Terry and provide Qi Tian with a pick-and-roll.

Qi Tian quickly arrived in front of Garnett with the help of his teammates' cover.

"You want to challenge me?"

Garnett still had the confidence to defend from one to five and faced him directly.

However, Qi Tian was not in a hurry to break through. When Mahinmi squeezed into the basket and took Terry away, he slowly dribbled the ball to outside the three-point line.

"Do you want to open up space to break through?"

Garnett knew that his footsteps might not be as good as his opponent's, so he took a step back.

The space in this step is enough for him to react and limit the opponent's breakthrough.

"Now!"

What Qi Tian wanted was this little space. He decisively collected the ball, jumped up, and shot the basketball from the highest point.

"Whoosh!"

Basketball hollow hit.

"58-71."

The Pacers completely widened the point difference at the beginning, and the hearts of Celtics fans immediately rose.

Fortunately, Garnett faced Mahinmi with ease, catching the ball and scoring easily. Then, taking advantage of George's three-pointer, Terry hit a three-pointer from the outside, which brought the suspense back.

"63-71."

George forced a breakthrough and passed the ball to Qi Tian who was following up. Qi Tian made a layup and caused Terry to foul and went to the free throw line.

"Substitute!"

Vogel replaced Hibbert to enhance the inside advantage.

"Uh-huh."

"Uh-huh."

Qi Tian easily hit two free throws to help the team maintain its advantage.

But in turn, Garnett caused a foul on Qi Tian and made two free throws.

"65-73."

"seven!"

George passed the ball to Qi Tian, ​​who took the ball and jumped up to shoot.

“What a beautiful thought!”

Jeff Green jumped out from the side, jumped up and touched the basketball with his fingers!

The direction of the basketball's flight immediately changed, and it bounced high after hitting the basket.

Qi Tian judged the landing point, quickly rushed in to get the basketball, and then quickly tipped the ball in.

"65-75."

"nice shot!"

Fans on the sidelines cheered excitedly as they watched Qi Tian score 5 points in a row.

Even if they couldn't open up the score, just maintaining a 10-point difference was enough for them to win.

The Celtics didn't feel good, and Jordan Crawford also took a shot from the outside.

"clang!"

The basketball jumped out of the basket and was collected by Mahinmi under the basket.

"Pick and roll!"

Qi Tian called a pick-and-roll again and switched to Garnett again.

Garnett felt that he was offended. This kind of grabbing the opponent and beating him clearly regarded him as the Celtics' defensive weakness!

This time Garnett learned his lesson and defended from the outside. Qi Tian broke through decisively, used his speed to get rid of Garnett, and took a quick throw.

"Dangdang, swish!"

The basketball bounced twice and fell in.

"65-77."

Terry made a jump shot, Qi Tian received the basketball, quickly advanced, came to the frontcourt, faced his opponent directly, and shot a chasing three-pointer!

"65-80."

The opponent played a wave and the point difference was widened. Rivers did not bother to let Pierce continue to rest and quickly replaced him.

But it was too late, Qi Tian's touch had been developed, and the new Hill passed the ball and assisted Qi Tian again to hit a three-pointer!

"65-83."

Qi Tian scored 11 points in a row, widening the point difference to 18 points!

"hateful!"

The disadvantage has become bigger and bigger, and the Celtics also chose to take a three-pointer. This time Terry lived up to the fans' expectations and hit the ball accurately.

But then Qi Tian caught the ball to attract the defense, and Hill made a reverse layup. George's touch also came, and he hit another three-pointer from the outside!

"68-88."

The score difference reached 20 points. Even if Pierce wanted to organize an offense, he was unable to do anything. He failed to narrow the score difference in the last 2 minutes and was replaced by Rivers.

"Dudududu!"

The referee blew the whistle to end the game and the Pacers closed the game.
