Basketball Legends: Strikers Are King

Although the Pacers relied on the performance of the substitutes to narrow the point difference to 2 points in the middle of the second quarter, as Lu Wei and others appeared again, the 76ers blossomed inside and outside and managed to widen the point difference again at halftime.

At the end, the 76ers entered the second half with a 5-point lead 45-40.

When entering the second half, the fans were surprised to find that the Pacers' starting lineup in the second half had changed slightly from the first half. Qi Tian joined his teammates on the field.

"The Great Sage is starting!"

The starting lineup in the third quarter changed to Hibbert, West, George, Qitian and Collison.

The 76ers fielded their starting lineup as usual.

"We must defend well and use defense to drive offense!"

Vogel gave his instructions before going on stage, and then asked everyone to come on stage together.

Hawes played a single inside and successfully caused a foul on West. He made two free throws and widened the point difference again.

"40-47."

The tacit understanding between George and West gradually emerged, and he broke through and assisted his teammates in turning around and scoring layups.

Jrue Holiday handed the ball to Iguodala, and Collison saw that he was going to run towards the corner and quickly followed.

But Holiday suddenly ran back, threw away his opponent, caught the ball and made a jump shot.

"Whoosh!"

"42-49."

After switching attacks, Qi Tian could only turn back again and run towards the opponent's half.

The current NBA is still dominated by 2-pointers, and 3-pointers only appear as adjustments to the game. Even the sharpshooter Ray Allen currently only averages 2.3 three-pointers per game, compared with 5 three-pointers at every turn.

The three-part era is completely different.

Meeks is a three-point shooter, and Qi Tian cannot control the ball, so that the only presence of the two on the court is running. Only when they cross paths with teammates and are caught by the camera can they have a chance to appear on TV.

In front of the machine.

"This kid can run really fast."

Meeks didn't get rid of Qi Tian in consecutive runs. He looked at him with some surprise. He waited until Iguodala assisted Brand to score before turning back to defend.

He underestimated Qi Tian. Although Qi Tian is still a rookie, he usually trains with George and Stephenson. Although Stephenson's dog-skin defense has not yet taken shape, George's defense has already passed the playoffs.

Under the influence of the test, Qi Tian also learned many defensive skills.

"attack!"

Collison stood at the top of the arc, taking in the positions of all his teammates. He used West's pick-and-roll to complete the breakthrough.

"This way!"

Qi Tian came out from the baseline, quickly shook off Meeks, and reached the right position to reach for the ball.

But Collison instinctively handed the ball to Yao Ming inside.

Hibbert caught the ball inside, turned around and dunked.

"44-51."

Collison turned his head and looked at Qi Tian, ​​who had returned without success, and secretly warned himself that he should pay more attention to the running of his teammates.

"But before, when George played shooting guard, he didn't move so fast."

Collison couldn't help but compare himself to teammates who had previously played at guard and came to the conclusion:

"This kid Qi is very smart in his positioning. You can pay more attention to him in the future."

Holiday broke through for a layup, causing Collison to foul, and got two free throw opportunities, solidly finishing with two points.

"44-53."

Collison once again called West for a pick-and-roll. After the breakthrough, he failed to find a chance and passed back to West in the high post.

Qi Tian and George crossed paths and George blocked Meeks. Qi Tian immediately ran outside the three-point line and reached out to his teammates for the ball.

But Iguodala decisively chose to switch defense and came to Qi Tian almost at the same time as West's pass.

Qi Tian had an idea in his mind and pretended to jump after receiving the ball, trying to deceive his opponent.

Iguodala was not fooled, but stood firmly in front of him.

"Chance!"

When Qi Tian saw that his opponent was not shaken, he immediately knew that he was a steady defender. He used his legs hard, jumped up, and shot a jump shot directly in the air.

Iguodala was anticipating his opponent's breakthrough. As a matter of fact, he slowed down a beat and could only watch him take a jump shot.

The basketball drew a beautiful arc and accurately fell into the basket.

"47-54."

Iguodala broke through after the pick-and-roll. George was blocked by Brand and was a step too late. Hibbert came up to cover the ball under the basket. Iguodala didn't want to be blocked by his opponent, so he could only pass the ball back to Holiday.

He glanced at Qi Tian who was ambushing Meeks in the corner and defending Meeks, and thought with some regret:

This kid can bear it.

Just now, as long as Qi Tian took a step back, he could pass it to Meeks for a three-pointer, but he didn't expect that Qi Tian could hold back and only focused on defending his opponent, ignoring others.

Hawes missed a jump shot, and the Pacers succeeded in a layup from Hibbert under the basket, further closing the gap.

"49-54."

Iguodala once again attacked with the ball, and George followed closely, not giving his opponent any gaps.

"Tsk."

Iguodala worked hard, and after two hits, he turned around and shot a fadeaway jumper.

"clang!"

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

Collison turned around to organize a fast break and handed the ball to Qi Tian who broke through.

Qi Tian didn't care that Iguodala was in front of him and just broke through.

Iguodala puffed up his chest, fought against his opponent, and forced Qi Tian to a stop.

A smile just appeared on his face, but he felt something was wrong!

Qi Tian put away the basketball, turned around and passed it back to George who was following up.

Seeing everything in front of him, George pushed hard and jumped up. He drew the bow with his right hand like a full moon and dunked the basketball in his hand into the basket.

"51-54."

"bang!"

The Pacers fans on the sidelines were so shocked by this hard dunk that they stood up. They waved their banners and signs wildly to cheer for the home team.

"Oh no, why do you feel like the Pacers are picking up momentum?"

Some 76ers fans were keenly aware of the change in momentum on the court.

"Is not this nonsensical?"

The companion next to him immediately said:

"They went on a 7-0 run, and the final score was a slam dunk. Of course we have to get going."

"Then what should we do?"

76ers fans can only focus on Iguodala, who is wearing No. 9 jersey on the court, hoping that the little AI can turn the tide at the critical moment like the AI.

"Pay attention to defense!"

George also knew that the 76ers would definitely count on Iguodala to take action. He looked at each other with his teammates and determined the next defensive focus.

Iguodala dribbled forward, and George came up to grab the ball from time to time, trying to interrupt the opponent's rhythm.

Iguodala quickly broke through, and before George could catch up, the ball was handed to Brand. Brand feinted and deceived West, and scored a layup to stop the team's bleeding.

“51-56.”
