Basketball Legends: Strikers Are King

Chapter 57 George's Fighting Spirit

Hibbert managed to jump and slapped the basketball behind him. Duntay Jones got the basketball and came to the frontcourt and passed it to Collison.

Collison waved his hand and called a pick-and-roll.

West came up to block Holiday, and Collison forced a breakthrough.

Hawes, who was under the basket, came up to defend, interfered with his opponent's shot, and then turned around and grabbed the rebound.

Holiday also called a pick-and-roll, stopped in front of Collison and took a jumper.

"clang!"

The basketball jumped out of the hoop.

It can be seen that the hands of both parties have not warmed up yet.

Holiday, who was later selected to the All-Defensive Team many times, was still a third-year freshman at the time. Collison made a slight move and threw him away, looking for an opportunity to pass to West, assisting his teammates to score.

"2-0."

Old captain Brand found an opportunity, cut to the basket, received Holiday's pass, made a feint, deceived his opponent, and dunked, tying the score.

"Sure enough, he is not suitable for playing point guard."

Qi Tian off the court could see that although Holiday completed the assist, the intensity and angle of the pass were not good, so that Brand could not dunk directly in one breath.

"Hey, are you so discerning?"

After hearing Qi Tian's comments, Stephenson next to him asked with some surprise:

"Are you going to be a commentator after you retire?"

Qi Tian laughed and said:

"It's hard to explain, but it's easy to criticize others."

After all, Qi Tian has some inexplicable memories, so he naturally knows the evaluation of various players on the Internet.

Stephenson became interested, turned to look at Qi Tian, ​​and continued to ask:

"Then you evaluate me?"

Qi Tian turned his head and looked at Stephenson's dark and greasy face, and then said after a while:

"You will meet someone in the future, and you will try every possible means to irritate him, but you won't, which will make you feel endless frustration."

At this point, Qi Tian became extremely curious and wanted to know what James was thinking after being blown away by Stephenson.

Stephenson was attracted by a word in Qi Tian's words. He opened his dark eyes and said:

"Aggravate? This is indeed a good idea. As long as I irritate my opponent, it has nothing to do with me if he commits a foul!"

"When the opponent goes down, I can easily defeat the opponent's substitute."

At this moment, he finally clarified his future positioning on the basketball court, patted Qi Tian heavily on the shoulder, and said happily:

"I have to thank you, Qi, for pointing me in the right direction."

"Fang, direction...it won't be such a big deal, right?"

Qi Tian was a little confused. He was not a fortune teller. How could Stephenson be so excited by just saying something casually?

Should I charge money?

Qi Tian's heart moved, and then he shook his head to throw away the distracting thoughts.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's watch the game first."

Stephenson didn't want to elaborate, so he turned to look at the court.

Relying on inside scoring, the Pacers temporarily led the 76ers by 4 points at 6-2.

West caught the ball inside and was about to turn around for a layup. The experienced Brand immediately raised his arms and stepped forward to block his opponent.

West was anxious. He took back the basketball and was about to switch to an offensive method. The referee next to him immediately blew the whistle.

"Walk!"

The referee made a gesture, then pointed to the direction of the next attack, and awarded the ball to the 76ers.

"Good guy,"

The 76ers' bench was happy.

Holiday controlled the ball at the top of the arc, and Iguodala kept running and received passes from his teammates.

George immediately cheered up and stepped forward to defend his opponent alone.

Although Iguodala has an excellent body shape and is not slow, facing George who is like brown sugar, he felt uncomfortable for a long time.

It will be difficult for anyone to defend you when an opponent who is not inferior to you in every aspect defends you.

"Can't there be an unsolvable guard attack? I just stand outside the corner, shoot three-pointers, and show off my ability in a hurry?"

Iguodala, who was forced to be the main force, had such thoughts in his mind for no reason.

As expected, his jump shot missed.

"clang!"

The basketball hit the rim and bounced out.

Fortunately, Holiday rushed over, grabbed the offensive rebound, and then ran out, trying to organize a second attack.

Collison hurriedly chased for a few steps. Taking advantage of the opportunity, Holiday immediately turned around and shot a mid-range jumper.

"clang!"

It's a pity that his jump shot still ended up being a black shot.

"Rebound!"

Hibbert was concentrating. He was already embarrassed when the small guard took away the rebound he was bound to win. He would not allow him to miss this time.

But when it comes to rebounding, although height is an advantage, it does not take up all the advantages.

Brand relied on his own experience to first block Hibbert next to him, and then jumped up to win the offensive rebound again.

When he saw Hawes standing in a high position, his heart moved and he immediately passed the message.

West did not get too close when defending, and Hawes seized the opportunity.

"Whoa!"

Basketball hollow hit.

"This is a space C with the ability to project!"

Seeing that Hawes was standing close to the three-point line, West was careless and did not guard. He was shocked when he saw his opponent score.

"6-4."

"It is indeed a formidable enemy."

George and West looked at each other and exchanged opinions.

The 76ers are different from almost all the teams they have faced before. They are deformed like the Heat and old-school like the Celtics. They all have weaknesses inside, but the current 76ers do not. Although Hawes's rebounding ability is not very good, but

Relying on Brand's experience, we can make up for it to the greatest extent.

Of course, the 76ers are not as strong as the Heat and Celtics. Overall, the lineup is very balanced.

But balance also means that there are no obvious weaknesses.

"That means,"

George instantly raised his fighting spirit,

"You have to lead your teammates to defeat this team as a whole."

He stared at Iguodala with burning eyes.

"We must defeat him first!"

The comprehensive Iguodala is obviously not easy to defeat, but this plays into George's plan.

"This is the challenge."

The Pacers' lead did not last long. Iguodala scored 4 points in a row. Lu Wei also assisted his teammates to score. In the last 4 minutes of the first quarter, the 76ers tied the score.

"10-10."

At this time, some substitutes had already appeared. George handed the ball to Hansbrough inside, and then quickly ran to the outside.

After receiving a pass from Hansbrough, George fired directly from beyond the three-point line.

"Whoa!"

Basketball hollow hit.

George glanced at Iguodala provocatively and slowly backed away to defend.

"13-10."

Unfortunately, Iguodala is not someone who is easily provoked by opponents. He passed the ball to Holiday and grabbed two offensive rebounds, finally reaping the rewards.

Lu Wei hit a three-pointer from the outside to tie the score.

The 76ers scored a wave in the last two minutes of the first quarter and took the lead by 5 points.

"20-25."
