Basketball Legends: Strikers Are King

Although the Kings are still one point behind, the momentum on the court has been completely controlled by them. You must know that in the past 9 minutes, the Kings launched a wave of 20-7 attacks, narrowing the score difference to more than ten points in one fell swoop.

1 point.

"Calm down."

Vogel is worried that the mentality of the main players is somewhat unbalanced, although they are indeed unbalanced.

But he still focused on encouragement.

"I have already replaced Hibbert. We are still in the lead. There is no need to worry."

Because West had difficulty dealing with Cousins, and because he was older and physically exhausted after playing, Vogel replaced West with Hibbert.

"Danny, you are in charge of the attack."

Brian Xiao opened his mouth and wanted to refute.

But he looked at the lineup on the field and really didn't know who to replace.

George? His current shooting ability may not be as good as Granger. Collison and Hibbert cannot be counted on. Although Hill is strong, he is still new and his tacit understanding with his teammates is problematic.

Granger nodded and said:

"Don't worry, leave it to me."

"very good."

Vogel took out his tactical board and drew several commonly used tactics for them, and then put them back on the field after the timeout.

"Tsk."

Brian Xiao clicked his tongue and turned to look at Qi Tian on the bench.

"If Qi's scoring ability is stronger, he might be able to play."

Although Brian Shaw doesn't know who will replace Qi Tian when he comes on stage.

Should Granger be allowed to play center?

Qi Tian was cheering for his teammates who were on the stage, and didn't notice anything in Brian Shaw's eyes.

Granger came on the scene and made a jump shot, and then fouled on a rebound, giving the ball to his opponent.

Fortunately, the opponent's thigh-high jump shot failed. Granger collected the rebound and turned around to look for his teammates.

Hill and others immediately attacked the opponent's half, received a long pass from Granger, and Hill passed it to George, allowing him to score on the fast break.

Evans and Thornton pursued closely, blocking George's breakthrough route.

George directly stepped back and shot a jumper.

"clang!"

George, who didn't score in the final quarter, really didn't cross out the zero points in his score.

Fortunately, Collison judged the spot and grabbed the rebound, but his subsequent tip-in also missed, and the basketball was collected by Evans.

"ah!"

Pacers fans sat back in disappointment and watched the Kings attack.

Garcia made a layup and was interfered by Granger. The referee did not let go of his foul action and directly whistled the penalty.

"Shooting foul, two free throws!"

Garcia stepped to the free throw line.

"Huh~"

He took a few deep breaths and threw the basketball in his hand.

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

Made both free throws.

"87-88."

The Kings finally overtook the score. The Kings fans on the sidelines saw the hope of winning and immediately cheered for the players on the court.

"Application for suspension!"

Vogel used the penultimate timeout.

With only the last two minutes of the game left, the team was reversed and he had to respond.

"Specializing in the inside, you hear me?"

Vogel looked at the team members who seemed to be still dreaming and warned:

"Break through when you have the chance!"

Qi Tian on the bench looked at the anxious coach and the silent starting players. It was obvious that the team was at a critical juncture.

"Actually, Hibbert shouldn't be replaced. In other words, there is something wrong with Hibbert's psychology."

Qi Tian said to himself.

Since Hibbert has already committed five fouls, he is worried that his performance will be affected when attacking and defending after six fouls.

Moreover, replacing Hibbert without utilizing his strengths is obviously a dereliction of duty on the part of the coaching team.

It's just that Qi Tian didn't say anything. He was a rookie after all, and the coach might not listen to what he said.

Especially, when your opponent is already on top, no matter how you persuade him, it will only make him more on top.

The timeout ended and the players from both teams returned to the court again.

Collison holds the ball from the outside. He uses Granger's pick-and-roll to quickly break through and make a pull-up jump shot.

"clang!"

The Pacers players seemed to be under a curse, with signs of not scoring more than ten points in a single quarter.

Evans got the rebound and quickly broke through the offense.

George followed closely and when he saw his opponent receiving the ball, he immediately jumped up and tried to block the shot.

"clang!"

George failed to block the shot, but still succeeded in disturbing his opponent.

Collison collected the basketball and turned to attack.

But his steps were unsteady and he stumbled, and the basketball went straight out of bounds!

"Hi, hoo~"

The Pacers on the sidelines finally didn't hold back the urge to curse, but just covered their faces silently.

Vogel on the sidelines gritted his teeth and said nothing.

Fortunately, George's defense worked again, blocking Evans' jumper and turning around to get the rebound.

"Stay steady!"

When Granger saw George holding the ball, his heart trembled, and he quickly told his younger brother not to act rashly.

George also put the ball in his arms and did not pass the ball casually.

When Cousins ​​saw George holding the ball and not moving, he immediately went over to fight for it. When the referee saw his excessive movement, he immediately called a foul.

Cousins ​​also committed 5 fouls!

Kings fans' hearts immediately lifted.

Granger held the ball to attack. He looked at the game time with more than a minute left, directly singled out the opponent, and took a jump shot.

"clang!"

Pacers fans believe that in their dreams tonight, the increasingly familiar sound of forging iron will be heard, but they just don’t know whether tonight’s dream is a sweet dream or a nightmare.

"Quick attack!"

Garcia got the rebound and immediately passed a long pass to Thornton who broke through quickly.

George and Granger followed closely, trying to defend.

Suo Tachi knew George's defensive ability and did not force a fast break. Instead, he slowed down and took a few steps back while dribbling the ball.

Seeing that George had no idea of ​​defense, he took a jump shot directly.

"clang!"

George turned around and grabbed the defensive rebound and was about to pass the ball when Garcia next to him suddenly stretched out his hand and completed the steal.

"Oops!"

With his hands empty and Garcia running towards the unoccupied basket, George had no choice but to foul.

"Shooting foul, two free throws!"

The referee sent Garcia to the free throw line again.

Seeing that there was only one minute left in the game, the hearts of the Pacers fans on the sidelines and the players on the bench immediately rose.

"No hit, no hit, no hit..."

Qi Tian heard the prayers of his teammates around him. He hesitated and prayed from the bottom of his heart:

"No hit, no hit..."

In the delighted eyes of the players, Garcia's first free throw was indeed missed.

Fortunately, he hit his second free throw, which pushed the lead to 2 points.

"87-89."

"Well, there's still a chance, right?"

Pacers fans watched Collison attack with the ball, and they didn't know whether to express their expectations.

You know, the Pacers didn't score a single point in the past 3 minutes.

"You really need a killer player who can score at critical moments."

Vogel had heard enough of the clanging sound of iron and had some ideas in his mind.
