Basketball Legends: Strikers Are King

Seeing that there were only 4 minutes left in the third quarter, Vogel took the lead in making substitutions, allowing the main players to take a rest. Qi Tian and Hansbrough returned to the court.

Larry Drew also maintained hope of persisting until the fourth quarter and replaced Josh to rest.

"It's better to let Joe date someone to let loose."

Larry Drew gestured to Teague, asking the players on the field to change the focus of their offense.

Collison took the ball in the backcourt, but the basketball was stolen by Evan Johnson next to him. Seeing Johnson running towards the empty basket, Collison was anxious and stepped forward to foul.

"Dang, swish!"

Ivan Johnson hit a rebound jumper.

"Dudu!"

The referee's whistle sounded at the same time.

"Shooting foul, one extra penalty!"

Collison's foul was a step too late and actually allowed his opponent to score 2+1!

Ivan Johnson will hit the extra free throw.

"57-71."

Collison's jumper hit, and Joe Johnson got the rebound.

When George left the field, Qi Tian immediately stepped up.

Fortunately, Joeyo now also knows that only by linking up with his teammates can he chase points, and the breakthrough pass is given to Radmanovic from the outside.

The skiing man stretched his bow like a full moon and threw the basketball in his hand.

"clang!"

Qi Tian swore that he had never heard such a loud sound from an iron basket.

The basketball jumped out of the hoop.

"Rebound!"

Several people under the basket immediately crowded together.

In the panic, the basketball was knocked out of the baseline by someone unknown.

Qi Tian was about to turn his head to see how the referee made the penalty, but he heard the sound of rap coming from the side.

He turned his head and saw the bald Ivan Johnson and Hansbrough talking to each other, ah no, face to face, greeting each other with raps in their own dialects.

Qi Tian and Granger hurried over to pull their teammates away, while Joe Johnson and Teague on the other side also held back the impulsive Johnson.

The referee was not used to it and gave a technical foul to Ivan Johnson, who started the game first. Hansbrough could not escape.

The ball belongs to the Pacers.

Although both sides were punished, Qi Tian was keenly aware that the atmosphere on the court had become a little tense.

The Eagles were originally more than ten points behind, and their mentality was already on the verge of explosion. Now that they have staged such an American rap, they have to be careful next.

Collison's jump shot from the outside was formidable, Joe Johnson's assist finally paid off, and Pachulia succeeded in a layup.

"59-71."

Granger responded and scored a jump shot after receiving the pass.

With only the last 3 minutes left in the third quarter, Vogel replaced Granger with Hill.

Larry Drew also changed the lineup to a four-substitute lineup led by Joe Yo.

Hill borrowed the basketball from Joe Yoo, turned around and rushed toward the opponent's half.

Pargo and Willie Green barely defended, but missed Qi Tian from the outside.

"seven!"

Hill made a jump pass and passed the ball steadily to Qi Tian. Qi Tian jumped up and took a long three-pointer.

"Whoosh!"

Basketball hollow hit.

"59-74."

The Hawks' fighting spirit was almost defeated by the Pacers, and the next five attempts ended in failure. However, the Pacers relied on Stephenson's free throw and an assist to increase the score to 80 points.

"59-80."

After three quarters, the Eagles trailed their opponents by 21 points.

What's even more terrifying is that while the Pacers scored 27 points in a single quarter, they only allowed the Eagles to score 9 points.

The single-digit score in a single quarter has also become the lowest scoring record in a single quarter so far this season.

"Is this a chicken fight?"

Some Eagles fans who couldn't bear the humiliation had already left the venue early and did not intend to watch the whole game.

The main players are likely to be reimbursed for their injuries, plus they were beaten by their opponents with a humiliating score. It's a double torture. Whoever wants to endure it can endure it.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, there were no major changes to the lineups of both teams. The Hawks led the team with Joeyo replaced by Josh, while the Pacers fielded a pure substitute lineup.

Josh Smith was attacking with the ball. Qi Tian quickly struck from the side, cut the basketball out of his hand, and then dribbled to the top of the key.

Hill took the pass and found Hansbrough. Unfortunately, Hansbrough's jump shot wasted and the opportunity was wasted.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, both sides were not feeling online.

Josh made a jump shot, and Ivan Johnson under the basket grabbed an offensive rebound. He turned around and shot for a layup.

But Hansbrough behind him quickly fouled and blocked his shot.

"Dudu!"

The referee blew the whistle decisively.

"Shooting foul, two free throws."

Looking at the provocative look in his opponent's eyes, Ivan Johnson finally did not perform in WWE on the road.

"Uh-huh."

"Uh-huh."

Two free throws were made.

"61-80."

Hansbrucka was in a good position, reached for the ball, then singled out his opponent and scored a jump shot.

"61-82."

Seeing the two of them facing each other, who generally wanted to overwhelm their opponents through performance, several others breathed a sigh of relief.

Since they want to compete through performance, it means that they will no longer perform out of the ordinary, which means that the game can continue as usual.

Hansbrough was extremely expressive, and Hill was happy to play for him. In less than 5 minutes, he made 3 of 5 shots and scored 6 points.

"66-88."

Eagles coach Larry Drew saw that the score difference was not getting closer, so he made a quick change and replaced all the main players, leaving only the substitutes to perform on the court.

Vogel also sent Hibbert up to warm up for two minutes before replacing him with the third substitute.

Price, Amandasson and others finally came on stage, and they had the last 4 minutes to act as a stage.

Taking advantage of the substitution, Brian Shaw whispered to Qi Tian and Stephenson who were still on the court:

"That's almost enough."

Qi Tian was stunned. He had no experience and didn't know what the assistant coach was talking about.

"What does it mean?"

"What's the meaning?"

Brian Xiao looked pointedly in the direction of the eagle and continued:

"Give them a chance and don't look too ugly in the end."

"So that's it, I understand."

Qi Tian and Stephenson looked at each other and nodded to express understanding.

After all, there was no feeling of rivalry between the two teams, the Hawks and the Pacers, so after the victory was confirmed, Brian Shaw told the players not to play too hard and just keep it about the same.

Sure enough, Qi Tian, ​​who had received the warning, did not take any action in the next game. Stephenson also made low-level mistakes one after another, and his opponent seized the opportunity.

The Hawks took advantage of the last 4 minutes to launch a 16-4 attack wave. Pacers coach Vogel did not call a timeout and waited until the end of the game.

"Dudududu!"

The referee blew the whistle to end the game.

The Pacers, who were at home, finally defeated their opponents 96-84.

The Hawks didn't care about the gains and losses in this game. Their focus was on Horford, who withdrew from the game due to injury.

The bad news came as expected:

Horford will miss the rest of the season due to a torn left pectoral muscle.

There is even no timetable for his comeback next season.

In comparison, the conflict between Ivan Johnson and Hansbrough is just a small grudge.
