Basketball Legends: Strikers Are King

"Defend!"

Finally gaining a two-point advantage in the last 10 minutes of the final quarter, the Pacers' substitutes cheered up and focused on defense.

Qi Tian followed Thompson closely. Although Thompson was still in the first grade, he knew the explosive scoring ability of the man in front of him.

Thompson couldn't get rid of his opponent even after running continuously. He also knew that he was difficult and had to rely on his teammates.

Nate Robinson called for a pick-and-roll, and Thompson in the corner used Yudu's body to block Qi Tian and quickly ran to the outside.

"Chance!"

Nate quickly passed the ball to Thompson outside the three-point line.

"Oops!"

Qi Tian quickly ran out from Yudu and chased towards the outside.

However, it was too late, Thompson caught the ball and shot a jumper directly.

"Whoosh!"

Under the gaze of the entire audience, the basketball accurately fell into the basket.

"71-72."

"handsome!"

Seeing the team scoring easily and regaining the lead, the Warriors fans on the sidelines were excited.

"I've already said it, let's get serious in Golden State. Any attempt to make the playoffs is just a glitch."

"That's right, the level of the Eastern Conference is just that. It seems that this year is our chance to rise!"

Mark Jackson on the sidelines saw the outstanding performance of the outside players, so he first replaced the starting David Lee and Biedrins.

"Strengthen internal defense and create opportunities for the outside!"

He whispered to David Lee and Biedrins who were about to appear.

"clear!"

This means that the inside line will assist the outside line. Fortunately, David Lee is also a team player. When he heard the coach's instructions, he immediately nodded in agreement.

"Do not worry."

Hill stood at the top of the arc and said to Qi Tian, ​​who was out of position on defense,

"Be quick on your feet when defending!"

"OK."

Qi Tian nodded and walked towards the bottom corner.

Collison pushed forward with the ball, called Hansbrough to pick and roll, and passed the ball to Qi Tian.

Qi Tian feinted but did not deceive Thompson.

Thompson carefully kept a distance from his opponent and focused on defense.

Qi Tian weighed the advantages and disadvantages of both sides, and he decisively chose to force a breakthrough.

Thompson raised his chest and collided passionately with his opponent, but was bounced away by his opponent.

"What a powerful force!"

Thompson exclaimed, how did he know that Qi Tian trained with George, Stephenson and other muscular players all day long, and his core strength was far beyond that of rookies of the same level.

Seeing that Qi Tian had squeezed him away, Thompson quickly broke through to the basket and quickly followed.

George Hill watched Qi Tian break through and did not rush towards the basket. Instead, he analyzed the weakness of the opponent's formation and quickly ran around the three-point line.

"There is a chance on the outside!"

Qi Tian lifted the basketball in his hand, attracted the defender, and with a flick of his left hand, the basketball flew towards the empty outside line.

Hill was startled, speeded up a little, and took the basketball into his hands.

At this time, Rush, who was originally responsible for guarding Hill, was focused on the basket, giving Hill a completely open opportunity!

Hill jumped high after receiving the ball and took a long three-point shot.

"Whoosh!"

"74-72."

The Pacers took the lead again!

Vogel also clenched his fists in celebration on the sidelines. He looked at the game time with less than 9 minutes left, hesitated for a moment, and was not in a hurry to change into the starting lineup.

Nate Robinson broke through with the ball, but Collison stood firmly in front of him. When he saw Robinson breaking through for a layup, he immediately raised his arms to defend.

Robinson had no chance to make a shot, and he had no time to pass the ball in the air, so it dropped again.

"Dudu!"

The referee immediately blew the whistle, signaling Nate Robinson to walk.

The ball was given to the Pacers.

Collison called for a pick-and-roll, relying on his stronger physical fitness than Little Potato to force a breakthrough, attracting the defense and then passing back to Hansbrough in the high post.

Hansbrough made a decisive jump shot.

"Whoosh!"

"76-72."

Nate Robinson screened and split the ball, then ran to catch the pass and responded with a jump shot.

Mark Jackson on the sidelines saw that the game time was only 7 and a half minutes, so he requested substitutions and replaced Ellis, Curry and Wright.

"All the main players of the Warriors are here!"

Brian Shaw looked at coach Vogel and asked for instructions,

"Should we replace the main force?"

"They played pretty well."

Vogel, who had learned his lesson from the previous defeat, replied softly,

"Let Roy (Hibbert) rest a little longer."

As for Granger and George, who had superior physical strength, he did not mention them.

Brian Shaw nodded and turned to look at the field.

"Qi and Hill should be playing pretty well, and it looks like they will stay on the court forever?"

Taking advantage of Hansbrough's missed jump shot, Ellis made a decisive effort, singled out Hill, shook his opponent away, turned and scored a jump shot, tying the score.

"76-76."

Collison pushed forward with the ball. He used the pick-and-roll to break through quickly. When he saw no one in front of him, he stopped and shot a jumper.

"clang!"

The basketball hit the rim and bounced out.

"rebound!"

West and Hansbrough immediately became entangled with the opponent's inside line.

Although David Lee is not good at defense, his advantage is that he can accurately judge the placement of basketball, so his rebounding is always good.

He judged just by looking at the arc of Collison's shot that it must be a long rebound.

Seeing that West and Hansbrough were both crowded within one meter of the backboard, playing into his own hands, he immediately turned around and took half a step back, waiting for the basketball to fall.

"It is indeed here!"

David Lee watched the basketball bounce out and it was indeed coming towards him. He felt happy and immediately jumped up to pick off the basketball.

But just as he watched with joy, a figure flashed past and actually won the basketball in front of him.

The man wearing the Pacers jersey No. 7 is none other than Qi Tian!

"This way!"

Collison, who was playing iron, was about to rush inside. When he saw Qi Tian take off the basketball, he immediately took a few steps back and reached for the ball.

After receiving the pass, he took advantage of Ellis' defense not getting back in time and took a jump shot.

The Pacers fans on the sidelines were overjoyed when they saw him taking an open shot. Some anxiously, they raised their arms high and stood up, planning to celebrate him in advance.

"ye..."

"clang!"

What responded to them was the crisp sound of iron striking.

"ah??"

The Pacers fans seemed to be choked by fate. They could only let out a disappointed sigh and sat down slumped.

Under the basket, Biedrins got the basketball and turned around and handed it to Ellis.

Ellis once again relied on his teammates to pick and roll and hit a high jump shot.

Although Collison no longer feels good, his defense is still in place. When he saw Ellis actually playing a diffraction move, he immediately jumped to interfere.

"clang!"

Sure enough, the basketball bounced out of the frame, and Collison turned around and grabbed the rebound.

"Quick attack!"

Seeing that his teammates were already running towards the opponent's half, he directly passed the long throw to Qi Tian who was about to leave.

Qi Tian lifted the ball, shook Curry away, and easily scored with a basket.

"78-76."
