Basketball Legends: Strikers Are King

"62-66."

The Pacers relied on Hibbert to score consecutively inside. Just when they were about to open up the score, Henderson and Augustine fired continuously from the outside, maintaining the point difference until the last 3 minutes of the third quarter.

"Apply for substitution!"

Vogel replaced Hibbert, West, Granger and Collison to rest, leaving only George, who had superior physical strength, on the court.

The Bobcats also replaced the bench lineup headed by Walker.

Mullens made a jump shot inside.

"clang!"

Short!

"rebound!"

After spotting the landing point of the basketball, Henderson and Hill immediately huddled together.

Henderson got the basketball, turned around and was about to attack.

George Hill immediately committed a foul.

"Dudu!"

The referee blew the whistle and called Hill a foul.

George Hill got a little carried away and kept mumbling, but the referee didn't tolerate him and gave him a technical foul directly.

"Calm down!"

Qitian and Price quickly surrounded Hill and had already received a technical foul. If Hill attacked again, he would be ejected directly.

Augustin walked to the free throw line and prepared to take the technical foul free throw.

"Clang!"

The basketball bounced out of the frame, and Mullens immediately jumped up to grab the offensive rebound, and then tipped the ball in.

"Clang!"

Under his expectant gaze, the basketball spun around and fell out.

Foster got the defensive rebound and waited for the Bobcats to return to defense before turning to hand it to Hill.

Hill waited for his teammates to get into position, then broke through through the pick-and-roll, made a feint, turned around and shot a fadeaway jumper.

"clang!"

It's also shorter.

Fortunately, Foster jumped up to grab the offensive rebound and scored a tip-in.

"62-68."

Brown caused Foster to foul and only made one of the two free throws.

Foster grabbed the rebound again and turned to Hill.

Hill used the pick-and-roll to break through, and Qitian ran outside.

"here!"

Seeing Qi Tian throw away his opponent, Hill passed the ball back.

Qi Tian caught the ball and took a long three-pointer.

"Whoosh!"

Basketball hollow hit.

"63-71."

"Handsome!"

Qi Tian's goal opened the point difference to 8 points, and the players on the bench all shouted in unison to cheer him on.

Subsequently, neither side scored a goal, and the point difference remained until the end of the third quarter.

"Everyone played well, let's keep up the good work."

Vogel mentioned a few words:

"You have to move the ball quickly, pass the ball when there is space, and take decisive shots."

Then at the beginning of the fourth quarter, they were put on the court.

Silas said to Walker and others:

"Try your best to chase points, wait until the main force comes on the court, and don't let your opponent open up the score."

Walker looked at the direction of the Pacers with a complicated expression, and his thoughts were also complicated.

It is said that the NBA is the highest palace of basketball. In Walker's view, this palace may have shut out the Bobcats.

Although the University of Connecticut, where he graduated, is not comparable to famous basketball schools like North Carolina and Duke in the NCAA, the most stringent requirements for college team coaches are the ability to run tactics and the tacit understanding of tactical coordination.

When individual abilities are not outstanding, relying on the tacit cooperation of five people may not necessarily lead to a win.

This is a truth that college students and even primary school students may know.

But after coming to the Bobcats, Kemba Walker realized that some people really didn't know this truth. Everyone in the Bobcats was simply in disarray. They relied on themselves for offense and all for defense. To describe them as selfish is an understatement.

Didn’t you lay down the basics of basketball well? In Walker’s opinion, these teammates are not qualified to play the game!

It's better to be a substitute for the Pacers. At least they have their own offensive system.

This sentence suddenly popped into Walker's mind.

"Kemba!"

The coach's words woke him up. Walker looked at the coach and heard the second half of the words.

"You have to control the ball and be patient."

"clear!"

Once on the court, Walker immediately attacked with the ball and reached the top of the arc.

"Pick and roll!"

Mullens honestly came up to help his teammates block Price.

Walker quickly dribbled the ball past Hansbrough and faced Foster for a layup.

"Clang!"

The basketball bounced out of the frame, was picked off by Foster, and turned around to pass to Hill.

Hill played steadily, found Hansbrough, and assisted his teammates to score.

"63-73."

Diaw missed the jump shot, but fortunately White picked up the rebound and turned to Walker. Walker continued to miss the jump shot, and Hansbrough picked up the rebound.

"Quick attack!"

The tacit understanding between Hill and Qitian gradually developed. When he saw Qitian's breakthrough, he immediately passed the ball with a long pass.

When Brown saw his opponent break through, he could only foul and send his opponent to the free throw line.

"Huh~~"

Qi Tian took a few deep breaths, adjusted his rhythm, and threw the basketball in his hand.

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

Made both free throws.

"63-75."

The Bobcats' offense did not improve, and the Pacers continued to attack. Qitian's jumper was knocked down by Diaw, and he got another free throw opportunity.

"call!"

Qi Tian dribbled the ball continuously and threw the ball.

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

Made two free throws again.

"63-77."

A smile appeared on Qi Tian's face.

Just relying on the performance of these few free throws, he doesn't have to worry about being replaced by the coach because of mistakes.

He accidentally caught a glimpse of Walker and couldn't help but envy him.

"The early picks in the first round obviously have potential that can be cultivated. Even if such a player makes a mistake, the management and coaches will be patient and wait for him to realize his talent."

"This is a first-round pick."

Seeing that the score difference was getting bigger and bigger, Walker felt anxious, and his anxiety in turn affected his touch. The head coach on the sidelines could only replace him, and the main lineup debuted early.

Brian Shaw turned to look at coach Vogel and asked tentatively:

"Coach, do you want to replace the main player?"

Vogel shook his head, and waited until Qi Tian missed the shot. Then when he was on defense, he tried to block the shot but hit his opponent in the head. He was called for a technical foul. Then he applied for a substitution and replaced Granger and other main players.

Go up.

"That's it..."

Brian Shaw seemed to be aware of it and roughly understood what Vogel was thinking.

Qitian has similar characteristics to George, that is, he is a little emotional when playing due to lack of experience.

That is, there is a lack of stability.

The solution to this problem is both simple and difficult, that is, play more games and practice more.

That's why Vogel didn't rush to replace Qi Tian and let him gain more experience and lessons on the court;

When his performance dropped due to psychological fluctuations, he was replaced decisively and asked to summarize his problems.

"It seems that Qi has entered the coach's key training list."

Brian Shaw sat contentedly and watched the situation on the court. Granger and George scored consecutively, opening the point difference to 20 points in three minutes.

"Dudududu!"

The referee blew the whistle to end the game, and the Pacers, who were at home, defeated their opponents 99-77 and achieved two consecutive victories.
