Basketball Legends: Strikers Are King

Although Cousins ​​is not afraid of Hibbert, his opponent's height of 218 centimeters and thick body still put great pressure on the Kings.

The Kings' shots gradually shifted from inside to outside the three-point line.

"clang!"

Salmons missed his three-point shot.

Fortunately, the long rebound for the long three-pointer kept Hibbert out of reach. He could only watch as JJ Hixon turned around, picked up the rebound, and handed it to Thornton.

Suo Tama made another long-range three-point shot, but Hill was well prepared and successfully interfered with his opponent.

"clang!"

Hansbrough saw the right spot, grabbed the rebound, and turned around and handed it to Hill.

"Stay steady."

Hill did not rush for a fast break, but slowly came to the Kings half.

"Pick and roll!"

He called Hansbrough, and after the pick-and-roll, he passed to Granger.

Salmons stepped forward to guard, but Granger did not attack. Instead, he turned and passed to Hill who ran into the open space.

Hill feinted away from Thornton, jumped up from outside the three-point line, and took a long shot.

"clang!"

"rebound!"

When Hill saw the basketball coming out of the basket, he immediately ran forward and was lucky enough to grab the basketball.

"This way!"

Granger used Hansbrough next to him to block Salmons, quickly ran to the three-point line, and asked his teammates for the ball.

After receiving the pass, Granger ignored the rushing Salmons and forced a jumper.

"clang!"

His three-point shot also missed!

Granger saw the basketball pop out and ran forward to get the ball again.

He keenly saw Hibbert under the basket and passed the ball to his teammates. Hibbert was about to turn around and make a layup. Evans next to him could only make a move and sent his opponent to the free throw line through a foul.

"Dudu!"

The referee blew the whistle decisively, indicating that it was Evans' foul.

"It's such a mess!"

Two consecutive chaotic attacks made Vogel a little unacceptable on the sidelines. He fired up Stephenson and Amandasson and asked them to warm up and prepare to replace the starter.

"clang!"

Hibbert missed his first free throw, but fortunately he adjusted his mentality and made the second one steadily.

"18-13."

Stephenson and others came on the scene, and Granger led a group of substitutes to maintain the point difference until the end of the first quarter.

"23-19."

"Opponents tend to take more outside shots, so we must be more defensive."

Vogel had already seen through the nature of the Kings' fear of Hibbert, and immediately said to the players who were about to appear:

"Don't give the outside a chance to take an open shot!"

Stephenson and Qi Tian looked at each other and nodded.

"Okay, let's play."

When Vogel saw that the second quarter was about to begin, he let several people onto the field.

The Pacers put on a full bench lineup: Hill, Stephenson, Qi Tian, ​​Hansbrough and Amandelson.

The Kings sent a starting lineup of Evans, Thornton, Garcia, JJ Hixon and Dante Green with four substitutes.

Stephenson hit the outside jumper, and Evans turned around to get the basketball and quickly started, rushing towards the opponent's half court.

"Quick attack!"

Everyone in the Kings immediately turned around and quickly went down. Qitian, Stephenson and Hill also abandoned Hansbrough and Amandasson, who were not able to watch their footsteps, and turned back to defend.

Seeing Evans jump up, Qi Tian jumped up immediately and raised his arms, trying to interfere with his opponent's layup.

Evans was well prepared, took the basketball into his arms, and passed it to Dante Green who followed up.

Green abused the basket wantonly and dunked the basketball in.

"23-21."

Amid the cheers of the ecstatic Kings fans, Dante Green raised his arms and showed off his biceps to the audience.

"handsome!"

The Kings bench on the sidelines waved towels and cheered him on.

Hill organized the attack and turned to Qi Tian.

Facing Garcia's defense, Qi Tian slowly dribbled the ball and signaled running tactics to his teammates.

The moment Garcia relaxed, Qi Tian suddenly took a step to the right, stopped and shot a jumper.

"Whoosh!"

Basketball hollow hit.

"25-21."

Qi Tian looked down with some regret, his right foot was still on the three-point line.

"Tsk, I thought it was three points."

I've been practicing the three-point step-back in private, but I'm still a little behind.

Qitian and his teammates returned to defense again.

Evans took the basketball without hesitation and prepared to attack.

Dante Green blocked Hill, then passed down, caught the ball and dunked directly.

"Quick attack!"

Hansbrough served quickly, and Hill turned around and was about to pass down the ball. Thornton couldn't catch up, so he had to foul and send his opponent to the free throw line.

Head coach Scott requested a substitution. Thomas, who was sitting off the court, was so happy that he stood up.

"Jimmer, come on!"

The coach's voice made Thomas seem to be in the cold winter, and Fredette came on next to replace Thornton.

"It doesn't matter, there is still a chance."

Little Thomas suppressed his restless heart because of Qi Tian's appearance, and sat down forcefully.

Hill made two free throws to open the score again.

“Pull off the singles!”

Evans still chose the tactics that suited him best and wanted to rely on his own personal abilities to solve the problem.

Evans dribbled the ball a few times and forced a breakthrough.

As expected, Hill couldn't resist and was pushed away.

But Amandasen, who was under the basket, was already prepared. When he saw Evans making a layup, he immediately came over to defend.

Evans knew not to force himself, so he threw the ball decisively, but was slapped down by Amandasen!

Evans turned around decisively, got the basketball again, and tried to take another shot. This time, Amandasson failed to block it.

"clang!"

The basketball jumped out of the hoop.

JJ Hickson stretched out his long arms to wrap his arms around the basketball, and then pushed it into the basket.

"Whoosh!"

"27-25."

Then relying on Stephenson's mistake, Evans assisted Hickson to score again, evening the point difference.

Hill stood up and hit consecutive jump shots, widening the point difference again.

Vogel and Smart requested substitutions at the same time, replacing George and Cousins.

Vogel then replaced West in the next round.

"Well played."

After George and Stephenson high-fived, they walked onto the court, glanced at Qi Tian, ​​and then turned to defend.

Dante Green missed a shot from outside, and George Hill judged the spot and got the basketball.

"Quick attack!"

When George saw his teammates getting the ball from the outside, he immediately turned around and started a fast break.

Evans and Garcia quickly chased after him.

George stopped when he saw that his opponent had already advanced to the basket.

Garcia thought that his opponent had to wait until his teammates were in place before attacking, so he was a step too late.

"Chance!"

George immediately used his legs and forced a three-point jumper in front of Garcia!

"clang!"

The basketball drew a beautiful arc, hit the neck of the basket accurately, and bounced out.

Evans immediately turned around and opened his hand to receive the rebound.

But Qi Tian jumped up from behind him and grabbed the offensive rebound.

"This way!"

George was still standing outside the three-point line, reaching out to Qi Tian for the ball.
