Basketball Legends: Strikers Are King

Qi Tian knew that he was over the top, so he ignored him and directly passed the ball to Hill outside. Hill received the ball and directed his teammates to move and prepare for the next attack.

Hill still gave priority to finding the inside. West got stuck on Dante Green behind him and reached out to get the pass.

Dante Green quickly lowered his center of gravity and prepared to defend.

It's a pity that West has good offensive skills, accurately judged the opponent's position, turned around and faked a layup, deceiving Green.

Then he bumped into Green, who was unbalanced in the air, and took a forceful shot.

"clang!"

The basketball hit the rim and bounced out.

"Dudu!"

The referee immediately blew the whistle, indicating that it was Dante Green's foul.

"Shooting foul, two free throws."

After West high-fived his teammates, he walked to the free throw line.

"Woo!"

"Woo~~"

Because the Kings caught up with the score, the Kings fans who were originally paying attention to the draft immediately began to cheer for the home team.

Taking advantage of West's free throw, the fans seated behind the basket immediately used their own methods to try to interfere with the opponent's free throw.

"Huh~"

West adjusted his rhythm and threw the basketball in his hand.

"Whoosh!"

One free throw hit.

"32-27."

Taking advantage of the opportunity, coach Smart replaced Evans with Thornton.

"Hu~hu~"

West adjusted his rhythm again and prepared to take a shot, but this time he missed the free throw.

"clang!"

The basketball hit the rim, spun around a few times, and then fell out.

But at this moment, Qi Tian next to him suddenly jumped up, picked off the rebound again, turned around, took it out, and handed it to Hill on the outside.

"handsome!"

Seeing Qi Tian pick up the ball from his opponent, everyone on the bench immediately became happy.

"Pick and roll!"

West came over to block Fredette, Hill broke through to attract the opponent's defense, and then turned and handed it to West in the high position.

West made a jump shot.

"clang!"

West's shot unexpectedly struck again. This time Qi Tian and George were powerless and could only watch Garcia turn around and get the basketball.

"Defend!"

The Pacers quickly returned to defense, waiting for the opponent's attack.

Dante Green took the ball from the high post and turned around and passed it to Cousins ​​under the basket.

Cousins ​​completely ignored Armandson, who was defending next to him, and turned around to shoot.

"Whoosh!"

Score a rebound shot.

"32-29."

Then, taking advantage of Hansbrough's jump shot, the lonely master fired from outside the three-point line.

"clang!"

Like a god of war, Cousins ​​plucked the rebound from the air and tipped it in.

"Clang!"

The basketball bounced out of the frame again, and Amandasson immediately jumped up to try to protect the rebound.

But Cousins ​​jumped up again and continued to tip-in in the air.

"32-31."

Seeing that the inside line was lost, Vogel immediately requested a substitution and replaced Collison and Hibbert.

West got the ball inside, turned around and wanted to take a layup.

But Dante Green anticipated his opponent's shot, jumped high, and blocked his opponent's shot.

Turning around, Jason Thompson caused a foul on George under the basket and made one of two free throws to tie the score.

"32-32."

West got the rebound and turned it over to George.

George advanced slowly, waiting for his teammates to get into position.

Qi Tian suddenly accelerated from the bottom corner, went around the basket, and came to the bottom corner on the other side.

George's heart moved and he passed the ball.

Garcia hurriedly stepped forward to block the ball, preventing his opponent from taking a three-point shot.

Qi Tian dribbles the ball continuously, takes one step forward with his right leg, and is about to break through to the left.

"Oops!"

Garcia quickly took two steps back, but Qi Tian pulled back synchronously and made an emergency stop for a jump shot.

"34-32."

Vogel on the sidelines let out a breath.

The score was tied by his opponent just now. He had long been prepared to replace Granger, who had had a long enough rest. However, he did not expect that the forwards and defenders partnered by Qi Tian and George were playing well. Changing him rashly would easily affect the players' mentality.

I planned to wait for him to make a mistake before replacing him.

Even if it's just a missed shot.

But Qitian didn't give him a chance at all.

Cousins ​​held the ball inside, and Hibbert immediately stepped forward to defend.

Cousins ​​just saw it from the corner of his eye and immediately passed the ball. Garcia broke through from the outside, received the pass, and shot directly for a layup.

"clang!"

The basketball was interfered with and missed.

"Dudu!"

But the referee next to him blew the whistle.

"Foul shooting, two free throws!"

Qitian didn't expect his defense to be whistled. He was a little surprised, but he still reached out to take the foul.

"Apply for substitution."

Vogel also replaced Granger at the right time.

Garcia stepped to the free throw line, while Qi Tian could only sit on the bench and watch his opponent's free throws.

"Why, do you feel uncomfortable?"

Assistant coach Brian Shaw didn't want to be this psychiatrist, but Qi Tian was trained by him, and he couldn't let Qi Tian get into trouble because of trivial matters.

After all, Stephenson and Cousins ​​have learned from their mistakes here.

Qi Tian reluctantly shook his head and said:

"No, where can I get one?"

Brian Xiao snickered, is this still called that?

He sat next to him and enlightened Qi Tian:

"In every game, there are players who feel that the referee is targeting them, the audience is targeting them, and even their teammates are targeting them. Do you think this mentality is right?"

"Isn't it right?"

Qi Tian answered somewhat uncertainly.

Brian Shaw shook his head and said:

"This is your answer. In fact, this is a game about two teams and more than 24 players. You may be one of them, but..."

His voice lowered and he said cruelly:

"Who cares?"

"??"

Assistant teacher, I thought you were here to tutor me.

Qitian's eyes showed confusion.

Brian Shaw continued:

"So, whose psychology is valued?"

He pointed at Vogel furtively,

"Frank will care about Granger's psychology, and maybe George's psychology as well."

He pointed to the Kings on the other side and said:

"They should be concerned about the psychology of Evans and Cousins."

"Other people are not important."

Brian Shaw had already identified Qi Tian, ​​and knowing that ordinary persuasion would not be effective, he directly provoked him:

"Until you become a player who is valued, no one cares which game you were targeted and moved to the bench."

"so……"

Qi Tian breathed out gently and said:

"So, you should respect your strength. If you don't reach that point, no one will care about you."

Seeing that he didn't look too disappointed, Brian Xiao continued to add:

"That's right, how did you come to the Pacers? You were traded. To be precise, you were traded as a trade plus and abandoned by the team that selected you."

He turned to look at Hill who was resting.

"Hill will get attention because he has the ability to average more than 20 points per game in the playoffs, but so what, he was still traded."

"This is a business alliance, and values ​​must speak for themselves."

Qi Tian breathed a long sigh of relief and accepted this cruel reality.
