Basketball Legends: Strikers Are King

Back at home, the Pacers faced the challenge of the Eagles.

"Brothers, we will definitely win today's game!"

After three days of rest, Granger finally got a chance to play. He said to everyone:

"I'm here for everything!"

The Pacers entered the arena excitedly, waiting for the game to start.

Qi Tian was preparing to warm up enthusiastically. He casually glanced at the crowd of his opponent, the Eagles, who were warming up.

When he saw a tall player clearly, Qitian couldn't help but feel his feet soften, and his whole body fell to the ground and staggered.

"Is it okay, Qi."

Hill next to him stretched out his hand to support him and looked at the floor at Qitian's feet in confusion.

The Bankers Life Arena is a full-time basketball venue. Like other arenas, it is not ready to be replaced by ice hockey, concerts or even agricultural product display venues at any time.

"Is there sweat that you haven't wiped off?"

Qitian stood up straight, shook his head and said:

"Maybe it's a little steamy."

Water vapor can make you almost fall? Your sneakers may not have good grip.

Hill wisely let go of this question that might embarrass Qi Tian, ​​nodded, and turned around to continue shooting training.

Qi Tian glanced at the Eagles' warm-up venue on the other side with lingering fear.

In addition to Joe Johnson, who wears the No. 2 jersey, and Josh Smith, who wears the No. 5 jersey, the Hawks also have support insider Horford, and Teague, who has not been inferior to Rose in several games in the playoffs, has a very luxurious lineup.

After Teague took over, the Hawks showed their prowess in the 2011-12 season, winning consecutive games against the Heat and Bulls at the beginning. They currently rank third in the Eastern Conference with a record of 7 wins and 3 losses, with a record of 6 wins and 3 losses.

The Pacers are in the same position.

The reason why Qi Tian's feet felt weak was because he saw the tall figure who was shooting a basketball.

I saw that the man was wearing jersey No. 27 and was 211 centimeters tall. The features on his face were very different from those of ordinary beautiful Chinese people.

It is true that he is not from America, he is from Georgia and his name is Zaza Pachulia.

Qi Tian clearly knows how powerful this stepping god is. What is even more shocking is that Pachulia is "proficient in all kinds of martial arts". In addition to stepping, boxing, elbow strikes, scissor kicks and crushing, he is familiar with them all.

In my heart, Leonard only injured the most famous player under him. Others such as Westbrook, Harden, Griffin, Babbitt and Anderson have all been taken care of by "contemporary Laimbeer".

"You have to be careful with your jump shots in the future."

Qi Tian has never been in such an urgent mood. He wants to quickly improve his offensive methods. Jump shots, layups, and standing off the court have become Qi Tian's first goal today.

"However, it stands to reason that I am not worthy of the attention of Tianzun Tianzun now, am I?"

Qi Tian comforted himself a little, and then continued training.

He slowly walked to George's side and told his teammates:

"Today's game is not easy, you must be careful."

"Do not worry."

George smiled freely, causing the female fans watching nearby to scream.

"With Boss Danny taking action, today's game will be won."

Qi Tian opened his mouth, nodded and said:

"Yes, but you still have to be careful."

As the game was about to start, Vogel made the final arrangements in front of everyone:

"The opponent's inside line is not strong enough. We need to use our advantages."

He looked around and said to George and Granger:

"We must do our best in perimeter defense and not give our opponents a chance."

Both George and Granger knew how powerful the opponent's forwards and defenders were in singles against Joe and Josh Smith, so they nodded their heads.

"Very good, let's play."

Vogel signaled the starting players to come on, and substitutes such as Hill and Qi Tian sat on the bench obediently.

Eagles head coach Larry Drew let the starting five come on, and then turned to look in the direction of his opponent.

"The opponent's forward defense is very strong. It seems that we can only rely on the cooperation of Teague and Horford to open up the situation today."

With dark skin, he looked at Vogel, who was standing upright, and smiled with some disdain.

"But the final winner today must be us!"

The Pacers still have the starting lineup of Hibbert, West, Granger, George and Collison;

The Hawks' main lineup is: center Horford, power forward Radmanovic, small forward Josh Smith, shooting guard Joe Johnson and point guard Teague.

"Joe is very strong in isolation, but he can't drive his teammates. Josh Smith's shooting ability is too poor and he can only be used as the second player. This is also the main reason why the Hawks with Josh Smith as the core cannot make further progress after Joe Johnson was traded.

.”

Qi Tian, ​​who was sitting on the sidelines, stared closely at Teague, who was wearing the No. 0 jersey to pay tribute to Arenas.

"Point guard Teague is the real engine of the Eagles' offense."

The referee signaled the centers of both sides to jump the ball in the middle circle, and finally blew the whistle to start the game.

"Dudududu!"

Horford jumped up hard and swatted the ball behind Hibbert before he could.

Teague advanced with the ball, and Collison stayed a few steps away. Waiting for Teague to feel relaxed just after halftime, he quickly made a move and completed the steal!

"What?"

Teague was frightened and hurriedly tried to fight back.

Collison firmly controlled the ball, but there was no chance for a fast break.

"Give me!"

Granger waited for three days and showed great offensive ambition in the first round, reaching out to his teammates for the ball.

Josh Smith has a physical fitness that is not inferior to that of James. When he saw his opponent preparing to attack, he immediately rushed forward and followed his opponent in small steps.

Granger was really uncomfortable facing Josh Smith. Fortunately, he passed the ball decisively and passed it to Hibbert under the basket.

Hibbert turned around and made a layup to open the team's account.

"0-2."

"snort."

Joe Johnson snorted coldly, took the basketball from Teague, and then came to the right side of the 45° three-point line, preparing to single out George.

"Hiss, this position..."

Seeing George stepping on the three-point line to defend, Qi Tian just felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity, and saw Joe Johnson directly in front of George, collecting the ball, jumping up, and shooting the three-pointer.

"Really three points!"

George looked down in disbelief, not expecting that Joe Johnson would dare to directly take a step outside the three-point line.

"Whoosh!"

When Joe, who was playing singles, saw that the basketball he threw was indeed a hit, he twitched his lips and retreated back to defense.

"handsome!"

"powerful!"

All the players on the Hawks' bench immediately jumped to their feet, and the fans who came to Bankers Life Arena to support the Hawks also waved their pictures of Joe Johnson crazily and cheered for him.

"Really cruel..."

On the Pacers bench, Qi Tian and Hill next to him looked at each other and shook their heads.

He is worthy of being the singles Joe who said, "I feel like no one can completely guard me in one-on-one situations at critical moments. It's like being on an isolated island, just the two of us, with no help or double-teaming."

"3-2."
